Scarab and I could try flying straight up.

[mykidisthebest]

Just the pair I was thinking of.

[gives him a thumbs up]

Would you two be able to make a quick sketch of whatever you see from above? Any big locations, like a town hall or a library. Or a gambling den.

[spinebuddyandme]

You got it, ese.

[ Suit activated! And up he goes to get a birds eye view of the city, Scarab's scanners activated so he can look for anything that might be ACTIVITY!!! but otherwise he's just going to use Scarab to take some snapshots of the major landmarks so they can sketch out a quick map ]

[wooliefrand]

[MAP GET IT'S A BASIC CITY. The main two focal points are the skyscraper business center they fought Bea in, and the park. Nothing else of note, no heat signatures and the like. And just as said to Charon, no matter how high he flies up? He can't see the sky, stars, or Moon.]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Lingers for a minute to stare out into that...void...? Tries scanning it to check for some form of magical or tech barrier cutting them off from the sky ]

[mykidisthebest]

[curiously watching him linger from the ground]

Look for a manhole while you're up there if Cepheus wants to go sewer diving, please.

[audacity]

[ called from nearby, ]

I don't want to go sewer diving, thanks.

[mykidisthebest]

[teasing]

Our second-youngest child wants to go sewer diving and also do all of our laundry later~

[audacity]

[ INCREDIBLY PUT UPON, but. ]

...you know what, that's fair. I'll do the laundry if we really do have to go down there.

[mykidisthebest]

You don't actually have to. If we're making this decision as a group then you're absolved of sole responsibility.

[audacity]

Standing offer, though.

[mykidisthebest]

We'll see how I feel once we get home.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ He hangs out another minute or so before abruptly zipping back down when he runs into the mist barrier ]

It doesn't look like there's anything really out there. Just this business district and the park. The whole place looks dead...but there's a manhole over there.

[ points out the one near the park entrance ]

[mykidisthebest]

Good work. What were you doing up there? It looked like you were staring at the sky for a second.

[spinebuddyandme]

I was trying to see if there was anything between us and the stars and stuff, but Scarab couldn't find anything.

[mykidisthebest]

...Huh. Weird. Something Scarab can't pick up on?

[spinebuddyandme]

Either that, or it's just too far away for him to sense.

[mykidisthebest]

Too far away would make sense, especially if it's up in space or something. Mm...something to look into later.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ drops the suit ]

Maybe Aides' satellite can tell us more about it.

[mykidisthebest]

That's what I was hoping, honestly. Maybe Scarab can link up to it to do a check too? I don't know if that would be too out of range for him.

[spinebuddyandme]

It might be, but I bet he could help boost the satellite's power to give it more range in a pinch.

[mykidisthebest]

That sounds perfect! We can ask him when we get back.

[wooliefrand]

[no physical barrier nope! But if he flies up high enough he'll find himself 'out of bounds' and those mist effects will start eating away at him--howls of despair, disorientation, etc.

Back on the ground, if he scans for a manhole, he'll find the same one Kevin likely does near the park entrance!]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ EUGH EUGH EUGH he zips back down as soon as he notices those mist effects, not wanting to draw any unwanted attention ]
