//: Calibrating...

“Skyscrapers are a rarity here. Consider the buildings within this city the tallest you shall see.” A simple response as her gaze reconnected with Emmet’s- and the honest truth. There were the buildings in Tsukinami Village- at least from what she’s heard. But, she refused to step foot in that place. She knew the Gods would not approve of her presence. “Next stop is my family’s apartment… If it’s a view you wish for, our floor is high up enough- a view of the surrounding beach and ocean. Potentially could make out some further forests.”

A ding. The door slid open after reaching the ninth floor, and CURIE made her way into the hallway, hands placed within her pockets. There was a momentary pause from her as she looked about the hall- silence. Made sense… Middle of the day, and one as nice as this? everyone was out and about, be it on the beach, casino, stores. Possibilities were endless.

Despite his overt talkativeness, he seemed to have settled down a bit once the elevator started moving. He leaned back against the wall with his hands folded comfortably in front of him as he listened for the subtle sound of the elevator’s mechanisms hoisting their cab upwards, wondering how this one in particular operated. He’d heard some people complain that elevators made them nauseous, but Emmet quite liked the sensation. It was sort of like riding a train, just a lot smoother with way less rocking and noise, and it went up vertically instead of traveling horizontally. He vaguely wondered to himself if there were any elevators that moved horizontally? There wouldn’t be much of a use for them, but…

Ding.

Right- back on track. He clapped his hands together as he followed her out into the hallway, both out of excitement to see the rest of the building, and to give himself an audio cue in attempt to keep himself focused.

“My brother and I live in an apartment complex, too.” He idly mused, finding comfort in the familiarity. Though he was easily excited and easily distracted, he noted the way she paused before she continued down her track. This entire place was new to him, and as much as he liked exploring each new stop he came across, sometimes it was the people who occupied him that he found the most interesting. He wondered what she was so cautious about- but he wouldn’t pry. Not yet, at least. It was more fun working it out himself, like his own personal game of clue. It wasn’t any fun asking for a hint too early into the game.

She would soon arrive at the door to her apartment, fumbling through the pockets of her suit to pull out a key. Into the lock it went, and with a click, the door opened and she made her way in. "You're a kind individual. I'll have to see if I can pester my family about it."

She was certain that Pluto at the very least would love to go to another region. All the kid's known has been Tandor for the almost 20 years of their life.

Once she stepped inside, and once the other had followed suit, CURIE closed the door, making sure to lock it before giving a rather quiet sigh. Hands shift to finally tug off the mask she wore, placing it down on the table beside the doorway. Hands were run through her hair, just to keep it from looking too messy. Though granted, it didn't do much to help. It just looks like that it seems.

"What are some locales you recommend, by the way?" She's add on, interest clear in her voice.

Radiation, ruins, death and destruction. So many things that would forever be connected to Tandor’s history, whether people wanted it or not. What remains of these ruins is usually left to the Pokémon affected by its state- it became their territory until the local Hazma could be taken around to cleanse them.

What was lurking within the area was anything but ghosts and spirits- feral creatures were hiding within the ruins of the structure. Both avoiding the trespasser, and keeping watch from the dark. Granted, Pokémon weren’t the only beings that were there at the moment; CURIE had made it a habit to visit the ruins of the plants she destroyed. The Nuclear Pokémon were, in a sense, hers. To not show up would be like abandoning them. She was recognized by them- respected to a degree. Despite their silence, some had made sure to bring attention to CURIE about the intruder.

“They’re going to remained worried until all of these ruins are removed.” She spoke up from behind, leaning herself against one of the broken walls. Fingers tapped against her arm in both irritation and impatience.

“I must admit, you’ve got guts to venture into a place like this…” She trailed off for a moment before giving a light hum, tilting her head. “Or maybe it’s idiocy? Whatever the case, I would advise leaving sooner than later- the radiation readings here are still fairly high. These ruins don’t need another body added to it.”

She doesn’t turn to face the new factor in this situation. Not just yet at least. “Well this is quite the turn; here I thought I was dealing with with the supernatural aspect of things. Then again, this is Tandor. Nothing’s ever been that simple here.”

Thankfully for the both of them, Chamyle had her own ways of combating the radiation filling the ruins. While she wasn’t in any danger, she could tell she was certainly being deemed as a threat right now. Something the black-eyed woman did her best to remedy with her posture; though it was a little difficult given the circumstances of her soul at the moment.

"Things used to be simple." Used to be- and then she woke up. Now? Multiple parts of the land were suffering because of her. She could never fully recall how things had been in the past- but she certainly heard from friends and family. She held... Very little regret for her actions. It's easier for her to just shrug things out and continue forward.

Her head cocked to the side slightly, followed by a low hum rising up from her. "A solution has already been found by this Region's residents. Usage of little Pokémon that we call Hazma. They'll consume any radiation in the area and cleanse it." There was a momentary pause before she opted to speak up again.

Tandor was somewhere Cam was finding herself more and more. Radiation abound meant deaths and deaths meant spirits and ghost-types that needed to be put in check. It also meant she was walking into places she shouldn’t have been, if she hadn’t had clearance. Thankfully the Oblivion provided some sort of protection to radiation, despite also being able to feel it.

The energy hits her mask, prompting a small flinch. This place was now ruins but was still rumored to have activity going down in it. This prompted the calling of The Archivist for the potential paranormal activity. 

Unfortunately that wasn’t going to be what she found.
