[Day 2, Night - Back at the Inns]

[nyanotech]

[ In ones and twos and groups of a few more, the cheerily victorious and the creature's not so cheery victims make it back to the central square and the inns there.

A few in particular are well-splashed with black slime. ]

Baths, baths~ ♪

So, whose place are we going to?

[nyanotech]

[Shader herself is relatively clean, and carrying a dirt-smeared doll torso.]

And whoever has the rest of these . . . maybe it's time we took a closer look at them.

[direstnews]

The head found in the garden yet remains upon your cart.

[Considers. Puts his blort-encrusted arm nearer the torso to see if the substance reacts.]

[12npcs]

[There's no movement from it, save for some of the drying patches starting to flake and crumble.]

[nyanotech]

And the cart's still with the turtles.

Let's get you cleaned. I'll see what I can do about the parts while you're in the bath.

[direstnews]

You plan to put them together once more?

[devotedtothecore]

[ in with the super clean crowd, having arrived too late to do more than gape and stay under the radar. He's been quiet since then, though he glances over at that one statement. ]

The leg is in the shield inn still.

[nyanotech]

Want to see if it fits?

[devotedtothecore]

... [ nods. ]

It's worth the try.

[nyanotech]

I'm taking Loki to get washed up. Get what you'd like, and meet me in my kitchen?

[freckledninja]

...dude what happened?

[nyanotech]

Demon summoning gone wrong.

[freckledninja]

Well that's lame. Did they use too much voodoo?

[nyanotech]

No. Something else interfered.

[Nods at Loki and Raiden.]

That black ooze made up its body, but it looked like attacking still hurt it somehow. When it took too much damage, it lost its form.

[beeductionist]

[ trailing after, interested in that torso ]

You ought to pry open the chest.

[nyanotech]

I was thinking of trying to put it together, not take it apart.

[beeductionist]

The two processes are related.

[nyanotech]

Related but not the same.

Either way, it needs to be washed up first.

[Back in the northwest inn]

[12npcs]

[Everything seems as you left it.]

Re: [Back in the northwest inn]

[devotedtothecore]

[ Good, then I'll head over to the game room where I left that leg on the table while the north gate excitement was happening. ]

Re: [Back in the northwest inn]

[12npcs]

[The inn is quiet and still. Nothing impedes your progress.]

Re: [Back in the northwest inn]

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...why would anything, really

...

there's something a little unnerving about being alone in the quiet and still inn, regardless. Hurrying over to the game table and reaching for the leg 8| ]

[Southeast Inn, kitchen]

[nyanotech]

[Shader finishes wiping down the doll's torso and its one-eyed head, and leans back.]

She doesn't look so bad when she's all cleaned up.

Re: [Southeast Inn, kitchen]

[devotedtothecore]

[ knocking on the door before stepping in anyway, a clock under one arm and a leg in the other hand 8|

Pauses at the sight of the torso and head... ]

Re: [Southeast Inn, kitchen]

[nyanotech]

[Eyes the leg in his hand.]

There it is.

Re: [Southeast Inn, kitchen]

[devotedtothecore]

[ puts the leg beside the other two parts. ]

...were they a match, then?
