Ever muscle in her body became tight and tense as the door let out more of a cry than the other door she had opened earlier. Crates and barrels.. perfect. Nozomi could check in there to see if there was anything in there that she could use. Before she could take a step, a loud, wake-the-dead, shout emitted throughout the building as Nozomi jumped and turned to see the two males as her heart raced against her chest. Out of reflex and reaction, her whip was no longer wrapped neatly against her belt, the long black lash rested on the floor by her as she held the handle. Yet, she wasn't dumb. She knows when she was in trouble.
One of the male was built, muscles almost noticeable in the slight darkness but the other was scrawny... and aiming the crossbow at her. She... didn't know what to feel. She was relieved to see she was not alone after all.. she hated to be alone, but they were humans. Her mother always believed they were a necessary evil but she had befriend humans and maybe even fell in love with one. First, she needed to show that she wasn't going to harm them and try to get information from them to figure out what was going on.
"You aren't one for subtle, are you?" She questioned, her voice slightly amused. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trespass if this was your area or disrespect your religion..." She could see how soaked they were. "Well. We can use the furnace I found earlier to dry up..." She didn't tell them about the crates and barrels yet, she wanted to see if they knew this location or just lost, like her. Maybe lost wasn't a good word. To show that she means no harm, she raised her whip slightly and grasp the lash with her other hand and started to coil the whip to place it back to her hip and lowered her hood so they can see her freckled face clearly.

Akuma, The Beast ━━━━━━━━━ The clear cut shout had raised no dead but did bring out the other soul here. Just from how she talked, her body language, and her reaction, it was more than likely she had the same story to tell. Great, now there was three of them with no clue as to what the hell had happened.
Once she didn't cause a fuss Akuma would gently place his free hand on Eimdall's crossbow to lower it, putting his katana away shortly afterwards with a heavy sigh. "Getting dried up sounds good. I don't think any of us know where or what is happening right now, so if you aren't planning to stab me in the face right now we can at least dry off and take inventory" Akuma said dryly.
He'd approach her and spot the furnace, going to it without so much as a second glance at the girl. Now that he was closer to her she could see he was just as young as she was, like he had expected, and his fierce red eyes seemed already tired of the situation. Scattered scars could be seen as he rolled up his sleeves and checked his bags before pulling out flint and steel. "Have you seen any wood we can use beside the bench to start these things?" Akuma asked offhandedly as he continued to take inventory of his supplies. When inventory was taken he'd actually strip off his upper clothing and wring it out to dry, squeezing the excess water out of it before he hooked it up to whatever was nearby that would keep it off the ground. Now that they were inside he could get his clothing dry again soon rather than later. Normally he'd strip to his underwear but seeing as he had strange company he didn't submit them to that. Again more details could be glinted of the boy now that he was shirtless with his back to them as he inspected the furnace. If his arms hadn't been enough to show how scarred he was his back was covered in the same many marks, a large scar in between his shoulder blades in the shape of a beast like head baring its fangs at the pair.
When he had removed his shirt he had put most of his gear to the side as well, not wanting to deal with the extra weight, but it could be noted he still kept one of his katana's at his hip. It seemed like he was already making this place his home.

He had almost forgotten that this building stretched up into the sky, that is, until the noticed the bright ray of light peeking from behind the clouds. Not only was this a sign that the storm should be coming to and end soon, but it revealed the staircase that had surely seen better days. His crossbow may have been aimed in the young girls direction, however his eyes were looking upwards, curiosity gripping him like roots gripping the earth. Eimdall would then feel a light pressure on his crossbow, forcing him to snap back into focus. For a split second he would resist Akuma lifting his crossbow back up to eye level, unsure of what was going on. Then he would see a shadow clad figure, lurking with what seemed to be a lengthy weapon in theirs hand. Only after she spoke her peace and removed her hood, would he realize why Akuma wanted him to lower his firearm.
His companion had already spoken volumes, as he made his way to the furnace room. After Akuma disappeared into the room, Eimdall’s gaze returned to the staircase behind them. “Have you ventured up there yet?” he spoke to the young girl that remained outside the furnace room with him. He would then follow suit behind Akuma after grabbing the broken seat from the front door, as they would need a fuel source for the fire. Before stripping down he reached into his own pack. Eimdall would then remove his two daggers and stab them into the walls near the the heat source. He then removed a roll of twine that he would tie off to both of the daggers, creating a line to hang their clothes on for more effective drying. He would even place Akuma’s clothes their and a gesture of teamwork. Thy staircase and what it lead to still scratching at his mind, Eimdall was clearly in a daze, eager to explore. The young boy positioned himself by the door, crossbow in hand keeping lookout down the hall in the direction of the entrance.

The bigger male spoke first as her brows furrowed at his... lack of manners. Maybe she just wasn't used to it. Not everyone was friendly after all. Who knew. Maybe her mother was right. While Nozomi was lucky to meet few kind humans, she was bond to find rotten ones. Or was she reading too much into it? Possibility. The young female had the tendency to do that. Nozomi mentally sighed at the thought of stabbing him in the face. She actually dislike blood but she does fight if she had to. She had proven that more than once. The red haired female glanced towards the red eyed man at his question. "There's some coals by the furnace if I remember right.... hopefully they are dry. As for wood, there's plenty of tables and chairs in the lobby." The man started to take off his clothes as she averted her gaze. 'Yep. No manners. No, hi, nice to meet you, I'm ____, thank you for mentioning about the coals and furnace, and-' 'Stop it.' A voice commanded in her head. Right. She was reading too much into it. Again.
The scrawny male followed the bigger one as he paused for a moment before her and asked a question. "Not yet... I arrived here not too long after you two did. I don't know what's going on." Her voice was honest and a bit confused as she sighed softly and shrugged. "Well. I'm going back to the room before you shouted, I saw barrels and crates. I'm going to see if there's any food in them at least," she added as she turned to leave the room and give the boys at least, some privacy. Back to the room next door, her fingertips went to find the lid as she sighed. Removing her backpack, she got out a piece of metal that she found in the furnace room and wedged it between the lid and the wall. With that, she attempted to open the barrels and crates that way. She may not be strong enough, but at least she could try before she asked the big male to help her if she couldn't get it open.

The young girl left to check a room for supplies, leaving Eimdall and Akuma in the room alone. “Listen we are in the dark here. None of us have a clue where we are and this place is giving me the creeps.” Eimdall said flashing a worried look in Akumas direction. “i’m nowhere near as competent a fighter as you, but I have my uses.” Eimdall would then adjust himself on the uncomfortable stool and averted his attention back to the entrance of the Temple, but still continue talking.
“Earlier I noticed that the path to the upper most floors was all but destroyed. However, there seem to be a few sturdy stairs that could be used. Since it seems as though we are alone in this building, I’m going to take this opportunity to go to the top floor and get an idea of where we are. ” Eimdall didn’t sound all that cool and collected. In fact, he sounded a bit scared. But he knew that they couldn’t stay in this place forever, and this was his chance to prove his usefulness. He then sat there staring toward the entrance, waiting to see if Akuma had any objections.

Akuma, The Beast ━━━━━━━━━ Akuma got the coals together and tested his flint and steel on them a few times to see if they'd light, all the while listening to the other male. Eimdall he said his name was or something. Once he was finished Akuma gave him a rather dead pan look and mulled it over in his head a bit. "If you go up there see if there are any windows to peak out of, get us a good view of the terrain. I can follow up after I got this fire going and my gear in line. We won't stay here long if we can help it. Waking up like this is almost like waking up after a night of binge drinking. No idea where, when, or why we are here. That leaves us to fill in the blanks, and try not to die well doing it. Gotta say it isn't much worse than what I'm used to though" Akuma said absent minded as he checked his clothes for any tears or rips.
ooc : Akuma is checking his bags to see if his waterskin is filled/if he has any rations Fruity (still the same)
Not missing a beat, Eimdall gave a nod of understanding and reached for his pack that was drying next to the fire. Grabbing his periscope and sticking it in his belt on the backside, Eimdall made his way out the door. “if you do head upstairs, I’d ask that you pack up my gear and bring it as well, if it’s not too much trouble. ” Eimdall ask, pausing momentarily. He ask in the most non-demanding way possible. He would have packed up the knives and twine himself, but both their clothes were hanging on the makeshift line he had hung near the heat source.
Walking down the hallway, he could hear the young girl opening those crates in the next room over. He would make it a point to properly introduce himself once he returned from the top floor, curious about how she was holding up.
Eimdall once again approached the entrance of the temple, seeing the door wide open made him severely uncomfortable. He knew that those other two were not even focused on keeping lookout in this direction, but this only made him feel more of a coward. Looking up to the untrustworthy set of steps, Eimdall mapped out how he would ascend this temple on what few sturdy steps were left. Slinging his crossbow to the back, he secured the strap so that it would flop around too much. After verifying his rout several times over he made his way up the steps, which required him to leap over moderate gaps. The higher he got, the more risky those jumps became. Lucky for Eimdall, those remaining steps were quite sturdy. Step after step, he climbed until he disappeared from sight, heading for the top floor to find a window to peer out of.

_______________The Narrator Whispers... ||
_____ Eimdall || As your daggers punctured the wooden wall, it was into one of the dividing walls, and the wood splintered under the impact with a rotten splash of splinters. For now, it appeared to hold.
Climbing the stairs may have been met with a few false steps. Either breaking under the sudden addition of weight or giving a false movement as if it would. The 1st floor was a large, open lobby, like the ground floor once more. Tables and chairs were laid out like a bazaar, though they were in the same disrepair as seen on the lower floor. In the back, however, looked to be a hatch and manual crank lift - most likely for stock.
_____ Akuma || [ You will have either/both if you bought them in the starter shop ]
_____ Nozomi || The room was heavy with the smell of mold and mildew - far stronger here than the rooms you had been in previously. Where a piece of metal was wedged into a barrel lid resulted in the wood immediately surrounding the intrusion to splinter with a dull, wet, fraying. With little effort, the lid was preyed open, and a suction of air was pulled into the barrel - which flushed out a gut-wrenching smell of pure disease. Mold spores lined the barrel and the smell acted like cotton and slime combined to coat the throat and nasal passages.

Eimdall Nygma ~~~~~~~~~~~
The structural integrity of Themis temple was definitely compromised. It was no wonder that this place was seemingly abandoned. After barely making it to the first floor he would glance back down at the ground floor, questioning how he would get back down. A miss step could prove fatal. “How long had they been asleep in those crystals.” He thought to himself momentary. Then after carefully scanning the room, his attention would be grabbed by the a hatch to the back of the room. Eimdall was curious but he knew that he had a mission to do before raiding every nook and cranny. Besides the fact that he had left his bag on the ground floor with Akuma, he was in quite the rush to reach the top floor in order to survey their surroundings. This definitely would be something he would need to remember on his way back down, just in case he would need to toss some supplies down to the others.
Eimdall then continued up the spiral staircase to the next level, taking care to be gentle with how he stepped. If there was a possibility of a cave in, he wanted to be ready to find his footing. “”

The lid popped open and before she could even fully remove the lid, the smell hit her nose and not a second later, Nozomi vomited next to the barrel. The smell brought back memories when Kirigakure attacked when she was just starting off as a genin. That monster... oh gods. Quickly, Nozomi left the metal there in case it was contagious, she turned and left the room as she closed the door behind her and fell down to her knees as she started to cough harshly and almost as if she was choking for air. Gasping for air, her hand went to her throat as it hurts to try to breath. It was becoming such a struggle as she still continue to cough; the sound alone may echo slightly through the empty hallway as her fists clenched in anger for not being more careful. Her hand went to remove her backpack as it rested onto the hard floor by her as she continued to 'cough up a lung'. Every now and then, her coughs would be so harsh that her diagram squeezes the stomach, threatening to emit another vomit of bile onto the floor as slight gagging sound was heard.

xxxAkuma shrugged and packed the boys gear up, not being exceedingly careful but also not just throwing everything all together. With the fire alive and well he relaxed for a few moments after finding his food and water were secure, fanning the flames to let them grow larger as he enjoyed the heat well he could.
Suddenly he heard what sounded like a mix of coughing and possibly puking. She wasn't calling for help per say, perhaps she had found something awful. Following the noises Akuma would find her on the floor and he'd raise an inquisitive eyebrow. "Are you poisoned?" he asked seemingly non-nonchalantly.

_______________The Narrator Whispers... ||
_____ Eimdall || The second flight of stairs seemed to be less interested in deceiving you; fewer of them sagged under your weight, though many were still broken. Reaching the Third Floor of the Five-Story-High tower found the largest open floor plan yet. It was obviously some form of a mess hall. One side was walled off, behind a bar, but the door was hanging at an angle with only one hinge still attached to the wall. The walled off section would be directly above the hatch seen on the Second Floor.
_____ Akuma || [ nothing to be given... yet. ]
_____ Nozomi || The taste of rot remains seated in your mouth, and your nose feels as though it has been burned. Your eyes water and mouth salivates aggressively - both in an urgent attempt to flush out the retched invasion of the senses.
Closing the door behind you seems to have kept the stench at bay - or you have simply lost your sense of smell.

Eimdall Nygma ~~~~~~~~~~~
Higher and higher he climbed, yet still this temple proved to be an abandoned dump. If it hadn’t been raided several times already, anything useful may have succumbed to the cruelty of time itself. Even the doors were on their last leg so to speak. Eimdall noticed a bar once he arrived on the third floor, in just as poor a condition as the rest of this place. This would however warrant investigation later, his merchants intuition was echoing in his head. The one thing that could stand the test of time, even better with age, was a good stiff drink. Eimdall didn’t drink much himself but he knew that having something like that in his inventory would prove very useful in the future.
Making a mental not of that, he made his way up to the fourth floor ever closer to the upper most level. He couldn’t help but wonder where they were and what the best route would be leaving this wretched place. He could only assume that he was near the same place he had last camped out.... but judging from all the rain and the local ecology, this seemed highly unlikely. The view from the top would give him a great deal of insight as to what they were dealing with. “”

Hearing a voice as she dry heaved a bit, trying to stop coughing so the pressure of cough won't affect her stomach. She aggressively shook his head at his question but then shrugged. She... actually wasn't sure. Maybe she just have rotten luck with things. No pun intended. Her hands grabbed the bag as it remained on the side to avoid her saliva as she was frantically searching for something, her hands being hit by clanging noises and soft fabrics in her backpack. Finally! She yanked out a what seems to be a bar of soap and immediately lurched herself up as she, as quickly as she possibly can, with her hand on the wall to guide her out, she went outside in the rain. She went back down on the ground as the nice cool rain started to cover the bar of soap as she started to rub her hand onto the soap and harshly rub against her nose and even inside a bit to try to get the soap smell stronger than the smell to what she just endured earlier. She also used the heavy rain to try to help rinse the soap as she repeated until the smell was weak enough for her to brace and slowly recover from. Distraction might help to work too, she can feel the cold moist rain starting to damping her clothes as she closed her eyelids and tried to envision her in her birth form and swimming underneath the clear sunray filled waters...

xxxAkuma took that response as a maybe, shrugged himself, and then retreated back to the fire well she helped herself. It wasn't as though he could help if she was poisoned, he didn't know d**k all about how to help, so the best he could really do is cut her head off if it got to bad to make it quick. More than likely she was fine though so he didn't trouble himself with it.
Redressing himself with now dry clothes he relaxed again and listened to the building, attempting to wrap his head around the situation. A large amount of time had to of passed, or at least he got that sinking feeling about it. Large temples like this weren't just abandoned without reason, and unless he had been moved to a new area far in the country side there would be more people around for a place like this wouldn't there? Couple that with all the crystals and he felt the situation would just get more ******** the more it unfurled. What if all those who had been crystalled started waking up at the same time? For what purpose? And if they were left to wander just as he had been what might come of it.
The thought of roaming bands of teenagers with no clear path to take made Akuma bite his lower lip in mild annoyance. They were bad enough with parents around, but who knew what chaos would happen. People always fell back to their survival instincts when cornered and once more of them realized what was happening, if it was happening as he thought, then it wouldn't take long before some of them tried to take command. By force, or otherwise.
