    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    The shadows of the tunnels beneath Funderland have a not much variety to hide. Grey or brown rocks with lots of dust, the occassional rat dropping, and pieces of trash dragged by a rat or cockroach. The biggest break in this monotone coloration is the lacquered wood and concrete of the foot bridge the visitors are crossing, followed soon by blue. Tarps holding down tools or salvageable scraps collected by the Lost and left in the large Eastern Gallery.


    Which fortunately for the Lost does not stink of sewage any longer, so at least that held up.


    Circe had a lot of things with her for this trip. LED lanterns, LED head straps, and the safety stuff. Goggles, painter's filter mask, slippers, thick gloves, and some very disposable "cleaning suits" to wear whilst she used a shovel to dig up Carlos' ashes. Well, shovel and broom, no point in cracking the urn.


    And the suits were very disposable and cheap, right from a Halloween reseller no less. Not guaranteed to stop anything, but easy to dispose of for sure.


    Now is just the matter of getting dressed. Circe wasn't risking damage to it and wore boots and a track suit to get down here. She'd have to change before digging.



    OOC: Saber Sloth Circe will suit up in the safety gear she has scrounged up before she starts to carefully dig up the urn whilst trying to not damage it.
    If Vincent or Seraphina , or anyone else is intent on joining her, that wont' stop her from changing. I wasn't sure if this was to be a Glimpse or a Thread.

    I think Rhodes Xadun and Anatole Yumyumcrow wanted to come along to see Carlos' resting place and to collect a sample for signs of Rust.

    If anyone tagged by me or Origins don't have scene spots, or just wants to leave Circe to do this @me in the ctl ooc and we can get this moving

    Anatole appears in the tunnels, thick rubbery boots clomping heavily along the old cobbles. He is broader and wider in his military surplus suit: it might not be quite Hazmat grade but it must surely comes close with thick gloves, coat, and ubbery pants. He has a respirator hanging around his neck his hood is down. He has tamed his beard and hair as best he can.

    He has a gym bag in one hand, which contains more plastic bags and a salvaged biscuit tin. It isn't fantastic but it might work to secure the ashes; or urn; or rust. The Wizened really hopes there is no Rust.

    Anatole has no lights and so will be dependent on Circe. He is, after all, playing shotgun with the Crimson Sovereign on this one.

    He grunts as he approaches from the murky underworld.

    Circe's first task as they got to the gallery was to activate and deploy a trio of lanterns. Then get a tarp laid out for kitting up, "Oookay, think it was over there," she waves her left hand over towards the spot and starts to undress, "Ya want ta hold a lantern or take part in the digging?"


    If Circe embarrassed to be so undressed in front of Anatole, she wasn't showing it. And she was quick to get into the costume and put on the safety equipment. "Gah, ears," she was having more trouble with the head lamp and her ears. Netting her hair was easier and helpful for stuffing her head in the costume's hood. The last things to go on were the head LED and then the gloves. "Digging," her voice is only slightly muffled, "Be very slow. If the urn is intact and sealing the rust, best ta keep it inside."


    Circe holds up the spade and the broom.

    "You hold the lanterns as you know where you put the body. I'll dig."

    Anatole bobs his head and takes both broom and spade. He displays no visible emotion as the Summer Sovereign changes - it is hard to see his scarred face at all, really, given that he politely turns away and stares back down the tunnel until Circe Origins is ready.

    "Slow and careful."

    Turning back, he repeats the instructions before properly masking up.

    He waits for Circe to lead the way, her lights cutting into the gloom. He begins digging where she points, in a stop - start motion. He churns though rubble and refuse with ease, using his great strength to maximum effect; all the while, his movements are careful and deliberate - not only does he gently check where he is digging but he delicately goes through the spoil pile he creates as well...

    Slow and steady said the turtle to the hare, and for a Wizened Smith he knows his strength, and his relationship to time. It also helps that the urn wasn't buried too deep.

    However, when dealing with the Rust one shouldn't rush, so, slowly, slowly, ever so slowly the urn is uncovered.

    Nothing has broken out of it. There is none of the fuzzing rusty spores on the outside.

    There is only one way to find out if this is true for the inside.


    Okay! It's been a hot minute, so Circe and Anatole are the only one's in the Scene, we're closed for anyone else!

    "Shovel slow, broom after. Very careful," she agrees with Anatole. Aiming her head to the spot keeps the head lamp focused, but she'd two hands so two lanterns to help too.


    Now where was it? Oh, there it is. Well, this is fun. Circe kneels down, putting down the lanterns she was using. The giant, ugly, orange hazard gloves going all the way up to her elbows reflect the light of said lanterns as she slowly brushes aside dirt to dig out the urn a little more. Then with slow care, Circe lifts out the urn.


    Circe is very careful about placing it down. She looks up a Anatole. He'd taken the risk digging. Fairest is fair, "Fairest is fair. My turn."


    Circe turns to the urn, eyes and thus head lamp focused on the lid. Well, the ugly orange gloves covering most of the lid. Before she opens it, she voices a question, "The cazzo does this Rust look like anyway?"


    Circe leans to keep her face as far from the urn as she can, arm outstretched as much as possible, and lifts the lid.

    "Well. It looks like... Rust. Or a fungal canker. Its thick, lumpy, kind of brown... And when it gets into something, it coats it thickly in... Like a skin, I guess. Attend now! That skin, for want of a better term, with break off the moment it is touched. It crumbles like metal completely corrroded. Trouble is, the flakes will be absorbed by exposed skin in double quick time. So be careful!"

    Anatole carefully follows, Circe's lead when the urn is finally uncovered.

    For some reason he ends up positioning himself behind the Summer Courtier.

    Smart, meticulous, is this pair of Lost, Circe isn't Gimli who'd axe the urn like a ring to see one whole and the other broken. Carefully the lid's lifted, Autumn behind the Summer, curiosity causing the Smith to peak over the shoulder, and the pair see -

    - unbroken plastic that the ash was placed in.

    And the ash looks like ash. Nothing perfectly fine and even as a hearth fire's but there is none of the strange amalgamate of fungus and metal to be seen.

    Perhaps the Rust was only limited to the Hedge. Or perhaps it can be cleansed in fire.

    "Uuuuh," Circe looks closer at the ashes. "This doesn't look moldy or rusty." Then looks up at Anatole. She lifts the vase towards him to let him get a better look. Now she isn't at arms length whilst holding it. "I think we're good. Either it needs Glamour, the Hedge, or the pyro idiots were right for once."

    And she wasn't sure which it would be. Not really any evidence for her to see.
