poly_chromatic | FIRST SUN -- i'm in your base, sleeping in your fireplace; video

(A blazing meteor streams down through the sky, brilliant white-gold; anything near it hears the roaring of fusion fire as it blasts down through the clouds. Utsuho has entered the City, and she hurtles to earth in a bright fireball...but before she can land, she suddenly sprawls in the air and heads straight for the wall of a building. If you happen to be really close, you'll hear the shouting as the meteor wobbles about and thrashes heavy black wings in an attempt to slow its trajectory. It manages to scoot aside from smacking headlong into the wall, as it blasts down an alleyway and leaves scorch marks across the ground, melting the sand into a strip of glass and igniting any trash or debris that happens to be there. Smoke billows up from the alleyway.

Utsuho stands up, dizzied, a 5'8" woman who looks around 20 years old, has large black wings, and carries a big gold cannon around her right arm. She shakes out her shaggy brown hair and looks around.)

"Uh...Orin? Miss Satori? Anyone?"

(She takes a few seconds before an utterly shocked expression crosses her face. Her brown eyes have an otherworldly red-orange shine to them as she glances around.)

"What...where..."

(She looks over her shoulder, as if expecting something, then furrows her brows, shrugs, and rearranges a couple feathers on her wings as she thinks.)

"....It's so cold up here. Is this the surface world? Hey, I made it! What's this thing?" (She's staring straight at the device now. The video is unclear what the object actually looks like, but her hands cover the view for a while as she pokes randomly at it.) "Looks magical, I guess. I'll give it to Orin later. She likes round things."

(Utsuho sets off out of the alley, only to realize she's standing near a window...so she rises into the air and peeks inside. Look, it's a hotel lobby! She's looking in the window of Oh Aces, in the lounge, right next to... a fireplace, which she fixates on almost immediately.)

"Fire!"

(She doesn't have a second thought as she bashes in the window with her arm cannon, sweeping the glass away haphazardly and climbing inside. There's no one in the lounge when she enters, so she scoots over to the fireplace, drops the screen aside so that it falls away from the fire, and climbs onto the wood. The fire seems to have no effect other than to put a pleased smile on her face, and in a moment's golden gleam, she transforms into a four-foot-high raven with a large red slitted eye in its chest. The raven pats at the burning wood for a few seconds, arranging it a little more nicely before nestling down for a nap.)

(OOC: Utsuho is snoozing in the Oh Aces fireplace, totally uninvited. Feel free to not have seen her coming in, or this video, and just walk in on her, or to reply via her device, which she has no idea how to work, but she'll totally talk to you!)

...Hey, that could work. Temples usually have a lot of big rooms inside, and they're made of stone, so they don't burn up.

Okay, I'll go look for...subway entrances. [She clearly doesn't quite understand what that means, but she's got an idea she's going to try anyway.]

[He was thinking more along the lines of "You're Asian, the temple & hot springs are too - so its something familiar. Seeking a year round warm residence? The springs generate heat. Asian demonic beings have flexibility when it comes to inhabitanting temples.

Nods in agreement anyway.]

I'm Luke Valentine and this building is hotel 'Oh Aces'. If your search for a suitable Hell below doesn't pan out, welcome to stay for awhile here in the fireplace.

Thanks! I'm Reiuji Utsuho.

[She climbs out of the fireplace with a flurry of embers and shifts her form back into her original state, the girl with the arm gun.]

I should go look around for that. Can you tell me where the temple is also?

[Doesn't lift a brow at the shapeshifting. The appendage enhancement, however, garners a brief visual appraisal.

Back to the business at hand: Brings up the City map own device.] We're here [Points to spot on screen.]. Temple there [Traces a path to it. Device marks both locations and dotted trail between in red.]

Great! Thanks! I'll be here if I can't find Hell or stay in your temple there.

[She darts out the door, making sure to stare hard at the map as she goes. As a result, she nearly bonks into the doorjamb, but settles for grazing it with the arm gun, leaving a faintly charred mark.]
