[i]she decided to proceed venture farther in but was very cautious about it. as she was afraid of being trapped or caught. She didn't really know if she should be here.[/i]

-
The citizens seemed relatively ignorant to her presence, seeming too preoccupied to really care. One thing that was noticeable now that they were closer. Their skin was smooth, like looking at a burn victim. It was almost somewhat haunting and yet, not surprising when looking at the town. Fire, so much of it engulfed the city. It became apparent. They weren't ignoring the girl because they didn't care, they were ignoring her because their eyes were likely scorched out or rendered not functional.
-
[i]this unnerved her quite a bit seeing them like this as she walked past them. She wondered if they could even hear at all. This place had her wondering all kinds of things. [/i]

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 12/15/2017 1:43:14 AMAfter a few passed by seeming oblivious even to wherenitnwas they were going there were two that stopped. One seemed human sized likely standing at a a meak five foot five looking emaciated and pale. But the other, he appeared as if he was part of the wall with how tall and broad he was. While the tall ones helmet ubstructed its eyes the shorter one did something the others didn't. It blinked and was looking right at the outsider. "Did he bring you here?" It had a frail voice seeming to match its withered body though it seemed to have no hindrance walking towards the figure that was surely new to them.
-
"I um.. found a door on the side of a house when was heading to home."says Keira [i]she had looked up at the man seeing that she was smaller than her.[/i]
-
The giant stood silently, seeming to favor letting its smaller counterpart proceed with the talking. When his head moved at a certain angle it was noticeable only one of its eyes were cauturaized while the other still had the iris and pupal intact. No other details stood out though. The rest was obscured behind the heap of metal that acted as his helmet. "A maggot told me, someone, he would send someone to figure out who starts the fire every night. He wants to know, that's all he always wants." As if someone told the world to change, the blazing inferno seemed to vanish, the burns on the people faded as did the scorch marks on the walls. A few could be heard muttering as the walked by. They didn't approach directly but it couldn't help but be noticed there were a few curious glances cast over towards their new guest.
-
[i]Keira would be able to tell this as her ears would swivel picking up the faintest of noises her hearing was surprisingly sharp and keen. As she would looking up to see the giant as she listens to him speak. [/i] "Look i can help im pretty good with tracking people down. But could tell where he struck last at least so i have to go on."says Keira [i]she could see clearly that they needed help tracking this guy down.[/i]
-
"It's always different, sometimes it's the church during a ceremony, others when we sleep though there was always a smell of meat before the fire.." Was what the smaller one had to say. Unscorched, she looked almost human albeit its pale skin and the whites of its eyes being as black as the depths of an ocean.
-
"Hmm... that is difficult but i bet that could definitely and i do have one question though.. wont whoever is doing this know im here? Not that is a problem for me i can turn into a cat skulk around and see if i find that person."says Keira [i]shapeshifting is Keira's go to for fast sneakimg around and spying not to mention she could go anywhere in the form of a cat. Cause who would really expect a cat?[/i]
-
"What an odd creature..." The smaller one said staring at the cat. From the looks they must have never seen a creature like a cat in their world. The larger one grunted before speaking. "Hmm.. time to line them up again... we always gather in town to figure out who has done it but by the time we get there, our memories are too foggy..."
-
[i]as a cat she would be the size of a maine coon with those bright blue eyes of hers and solid black fur. Around her neck sat what looked like a collar with a crescent moon attached to it. She looked up at them in this form. [/i] "I should be able to detect the arsonist by smell if there setting fires they'll smell smoke or whatever they used to smell it."says Keira
-
"Smoke? Hmm, well the church has been known to burn food..." The look she got seemed as if they completely forgoten about the fire. Was this a continuous loop? If so, it made sense the would never catch the fire starter. It was a cycle, go to church, burn alive, question who could have done it, repeat. They walked into town along with most of the supposed citizens and like it was any Sunday, many of them, including the duo walked to the church.
-
[i]she decided to follow but hang back some to see if shr notices anything strange other n what she has already seen. [/i]
-
From what could be seen there were a few particular standouts apart from the local houses. A funeral parlor of a sort could be seen with caskets being moved inside, an individual coming out of a store of some sort with a bloody apron on, an stable was nearby the church and then of course, the church itself. A somewhat older building yet there was some reminiscence of a time when it must have been a enchanting place. Elegant etching lined the slightly peeled paint of the wooden boards that made up the building and the inside seemed much similar with a slightly worn stand from and center with several large benches to the sides.
-
[i]These didn't seem to strange but she did take the time to look. As she didn't want to rule anything out. Checking the stable near the church first as if anything it would be a very tempting spot to set a blaze if anything.[/i]
-
Nothing yet, though there was a cleaver with some blood on it very reminiscent to a slaughterhouse it didn't seem like something that should be within a stable, likely it was left behind by someone.
-
[i]this gave her a little bit of a chill. As she seen the blood on it wondering why it was here. As she took a closer look sniffing the handle before looking around a bit more.[/i]
-
Hay, hay, and more hay bales. It would be easy to start a fire from that location and let it roar to consume the church in its entirety. There wasn't much more to find other than the cleaver, though it seemed the investigation garnered the attention to something simply unusual. From the robe up one could have easily mistaken as a man cloaked in a yellow robe, possibly a priest. Looking at what was under the robe though, was haunting. Inky black tentacles lay at where it's fee should have been and a small amount of slithering should be seen in the slit of the bandaged face. "... this is far different from the two humans that came before you. This might prove... interesting at the least." His voice seemed disembodied and distorientingly deep. It didn't seem to move. It just stood curiously watching.
-
[i]Keira heard this voice the creature would have seen the fur rise along her spine as she looked at the creature while flicking her tail back and forth. This was more different than she had bargained for but she wasn't stupid enough to get within grabbing distance as she looked at before speaking. [/i] "Im no mere human creature."says Keira
-
"Hmm yes, yes, and what drives you to find out about this fire they speak of? They didn't pay you, they most likely don't even remember this place being burned down time and time again. Is there a... motive?" The strange creature seemed inquisitive, genuinely curious about the situation and unlike the residence, knowledgeable about the cycle of the place burning and returning to normal. It clearly wasn't human and looked far different than the citizens of the town. The sensation it gave off, it was like being studied under a microscope. If it was studying her, why?
-
[i]she could get the feeling it was looking her over like it wanted to know what she was. But the creature wouldn't gain much knowledge about her in this form. But Keira kept a wary eye on the creature staying away from it. [/i] "Oh i have my reasons just like my reason for being in this current form and not the normal one. im not from here either."Says Keira [spoiler]sorry it took me so long[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]It's all good. Holiday season is crazy lol[/spoiler] "Willing to save them knowing there might not be any value to come from it... interesting..." As if he had turned into a bucket of water, the strange creature simply splashed on the ground receding back into nothingness. Briefly after the smell of meat hung in the air. It seemed whoever if could have been was likely in the area but there were a few. A man draped in black who was seen near the funeral parlor earlier, the one with the bloody apron, and it appeared onenofnthe priests were out for A smoke break as he chatted with the locals.
-
[i]Of course she wasn't just whoever it was get away. She wasn't the type to give up or back down not matter what this creature would have known if it had been from her world. She was to be very stubborn in this regard as she was seen exiting the stable clearly looking for it. But anyone that saw her would think she was just a cat a creature apparently uncommon in this world. She would have checked out the priest first though as he was the closest. [/i]
-
The priest looked over with a relatively warm smile on his face despite cigar smoke coming from his mouth. "What a strange creature. Is He expanding on our little world again?" For the unusually pale face of the people in this world, his face was that of an very relaxed older man with little trouble in his eyes.
-
[i]she didn't know whoever this he wasthat was mention by the priest. She hadn't said a word to yet as she didn't want to scare the older man.[/i]
-
"Hmm, I guess this one cannot speak. Well, Cognivermis welcomes you unusual one" He put the cigar back in his mouth and blew a cloud of smoke overhead. There was a small amount of wine on the side of his garb likely from a spill in whatever the ceremony was that went about within the church. Nothing else seemed remarkable about him apart from the stain.
