[ACTION; SIROCCO OPERATION SOCIETY; LOCKED TO ???]

*Misery floats in the air, watching the operations of the various lackeys mulling about their business. The fools. Were they even aware of what they were letting themselves in for? All they had rescued when they'd brought them there was their own servitude. She supposes she should not have expected any less of such silly humans, though.

And him. She's still not sure why he's here. Or, more importantly, why THAT is here. It doesn't matter. Nothing really matters right now. She just has to wait like a good girl until her orders are given. And then... well, only HE knows what's coming up.

She'd never admit it to anybody, but she wishes Balrog were here. Just so it felt a little less like the world had decided to pick on her, and only her. But there's no point in lamenting that sort of thing. Balrog is off somewhere, living a happy life. Honestly, she wouldn't wish that away from him. He'd deserved it, at least.

She's not sure what she deserves, but she's not sure it's this.*

[ACTION; OUTSIDE SIROCCO]

*So many ruins. So many of them complete crap. Certainly, there would have to be something that would be suited to his purposes. Why did so many people make so many useless buildings, only to abandon them later? People are idiots.

Those who are checking out the various other ruins themselves might spot a greenish witch flying around, occasionally landing and surveying. She doesn't SEEM to want to be bothered, but you know you haven't seen her before. She MUST be a fellow amnesiac. Dare you approach?*

Well...alright then.

[Danny jumps up and hovers in mid-air. He gestures towards her.]

Lead the way! Wherever you think it might be.

*Tch, what a pest. She will have to find a way to lose him properly at somet point. Still, perhaps an extra set of eyes will help.*

Oh my, I don't know if I'm the best to lead, but very well. Now let's see, where was that...

*She flies a little further away from the border of Sirocco. Ah, there's a place over there. Spacious. Well-lit. Less obvious. Although it simply won't do for him to know where it is. So she flies... considerably further left away from it, keeping it in mind. She finally spots an utterly UNideal building way out of the way.*

Ah! Perhaps this might be it. I think I will be able to manage from here, thank you.

Uh--really? Are you sure? I mean, we flew out here already, so I might as well help search for it.

*Great. These were always the worst types, the ones who just didn't know how to take a hint.*

I am quite capable of handling myself, thank you. It is not as if I do not appreciate the effort, but I would hate to keep you from whatever you were doing before you met me.

Oh, well I was actually just looking for anyone who might need help, so...this is what I was doing before I met you!

*Lucky. Her.*

Well, if you absolutely insist. You are a most considerate young man, are you not? Let's hurry this up then, before it gets dark.

*There's monsters in here, right? Gotta be monsters. She thinks she has an idea how to handle this.*

Good idea. Let's go.

[Danny moves forward into the structure, keeping an eye out for...whatever it is she lost. He holds up a hand lit with bright green energy for help.]

*She floats around, darting around erratically as if looking for something. To be fair, she sort of IS, but it's not a necklace.

She manages to dart out of sight at one point, and finds... a strange little red crocodile. Nak nak.

Bah. Any port in a storm.

Carefully and quietly, she casts a spell; the little crocodile suddenly grows larger, and meaner-looking. She nods to herself. This ought to do it.

She screams.*

KYAAAAAAA!

[Danny was looking away at the moment, looking around the area, when he heard the scream. He immediately turns back and darts forwards, hands charged with ecto-energy, and tackles the monster to the ground.]

I hope you like an ecto-knuckle sandwich!

*The monster is startled, but reacts, attempting to snap at Danny.*

NAK. NAK.

*Misery takes advantage of the chaos to slip out.*

[It succeeds! Danny is sufficiently distracted with the monster. He goes intangible at the last moment and dodges the monster's attack, and counters it with a series of punches, enhanced by ecto-energy.

By the time he gets enough time to finally step back, breathe, and look around, though, he notices that Misery is gone.]

Huh...?

Hey, where'd you go?!
