@kitsune @soragoku @liferusher@lunarlors34Before Ease could even hit the door the second time, another problem had arisen very quickly. There was a distinct lack of...door where his fist was. His eyes flickered open as he saw the now broken door lie off in the distance with the culprit being that same purple haired catgirl from earlier. He blinked his eyes rhythmically as his mouth stood agape.
But she...How did...What the...Why do I even bother? He face palmed hard as he let out a sigh.
"Yeah just rip it off. I could always use more crap to get into today..." He said rather outloud as he walked over to peer into the doorless room. But there was something surprising-the lack of anything even being in the room.
"What the...?" He walked into the room, his eyes searching it thoroughly. No blood on the floor from what he could see. He looked under the nearby bed. He looked around the corners. He even moved drawers and looked under a nearby table that was probably there for studying. No blood, no broken wooden tiles, no signs of even the tiniest struggle. Nothing. The window didn't even look like it was touched, let alone opened for some escape. He looked on his shoulder to Ratatosk, who held that same expression of sheer disbelief at what he was witnessing. Or more accurately, what he
wasn't witnessing.
"Ratatosk: E-Ease, I swear to the gods th-there was something there! I-I just-."
"I-I believe you man but...what the hell?"Ratatosk smell was rarely if
ever wrong. And Ease himself had a sense of trouble that he knew couldn't be false. Not by this wide a margin. None of this made sense.
None of it. He stepped back to a wall for a second as then the realization hit. One of the few people from his planet were now missing and completely unaccounted for. This was bad. This was really bad. He stood up near immediately and looked over to the group.
"Guys something isn't right here at all. We need to find that maid girl ASAP." He knew that maybe they just got the wrong room, but with this much weird shit? No. Not taking chances.
He zipped by his fellow compatriots and went over down the stairs, flying down them. He looked over to Yoshinobu and shouted over.
"I'll be right back Yoshi!" His face wrought with panic, he ran out the door. He looked into the sky. Crap it was getting dark fast. Really fast. He lit a fire up in his hands as he checked around the alleyways near the tavern before coming back round to the entrance. Nothing in either of them? Did she leave? What was-Then something else caught his eyes. It was hard to make out but...smoke? And it wasn't from the previous house fire. It seemed to be a different direction entirely and far bigger than that could've ever hoped to be. His eyes flickered up again though at yet another bit of remembrance.
Didn't the red guy run that way?
His face slowly went into one of pure shock. He gulped before his teeth gritted near instinctually as he walked slowly forward. He finally stopped but a few 10's of feet from the tavern.
"I...How the fuck did this all go wrong so fast? Th...they can't both be..." He said, slowly going to little more than a whisper as his shoulders dropped down as if he was tired. Oh so tired, with eyes simply staring out at the smoke.
