[Day 2, Night - A House South of Town]
[Written into the ground alongside one of the houses to the south of town tonight are a series of strange letters, forming a rough circle near the wall. A figure of approximately Loki's build, not there during the day's exploration, leans against the wall at the corner. The door to the house is open.]
[Some hours after the sudden switch from day to night, Loki stands in front of the door, a candle before him, a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other. He checks the mirror set carefully in the darkness, nothing yet visible in its surface. Then he strikes the knife with the spoon's handle, and he holds his breath - and he waits.]

I got it- just go!
[And fires another shot. Like hell he's got it. He doesn't even know what he's got but he's trying to keep his distance and keep it away from Elena.]

They begin to drag themselves towards you... only pausing as a young man finds a high perch and calls out a taunt.
Stricken by some senseless indecision, they both pause for half of a second...]

[Then they stop. And Drake's attention is briefly directed at the man causing it, confused, but reality sets in and he realizes that now would be a good time to shoot. He motions at Elena and takes aim at the mass on the left.]
Aim for the one on the right- I got the left!
[This time he fires two consecutive shots at it.]
no subject
[She takes aim accordingly and squeezes the trigger with the sort of surreal composure one has when facing down an otherworldly monster.]

It's Elena's steady shot that seems to make SOMETHING crunch... liquid melts down around a mass of gears as the broken clockwork drops to the ground.
The remaining pieces likewise seem to shift and then dissolve as if had never been summoned at all.
The despondent people begin to feel their energy and interest return, numb and heavy in their mind. Instead, something settles, a simple drive, a singular sensation that something is wrong... something is missing.
In the very far background, behind Rosette and Chrono, one of the painted door buildings, having had bullet and grenade blasts totters and collapses.... taking down the two next to it as well in heavy, unsteady chunks.]

. . .What was. . .?

He offers his hand should he need help getting to his feet.]
You all right, chief?
