[center][h1][color=silver]Annabelle Irons[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] Expansion was underway in a couple of the other nearby abandoned buildings in the area. One next to the school, the other right across the street and to the left of the school. In other words, setup for an area of operations, a modest but large place within which Soth had direct influence and control. Even now the sigils, the signs, the circles and such were being drawn within the other abandoned buildings, by horrors and creatures slinking about after being brought into this world to serve their lord. The one two buildings to the right of the school was a former home of some sort, perhaps someone who had once lived across the street from the school many years ago? Windows were either boarded up or broken, the yard overgrown like a jungle of sorts, though its overall stability had overall remained rather intact. The other that was to the immediate right of the school and directly next to it, meanwhile, was a far longer (but still shorter than the school) abandoned building similar in shape to a gymnasium or a very old YMCA. Something that contained a large pool and similar equipment, perhaps built for the school back in its heyday for gym class and such things. In part it had been a community center, perchance, though it had been seemingly decades since its last time being used for...anything really. [center][color=red][b][i]INTRUDER ALERT[/i][/b][/color][/center] Elroy had gotten attention, alright. Minor horrors and beasts lurking, obscured by their lord's from notice within the school's territory that kept watch over the place for their master. The message they had was then passed along, and the entire school grounds was on alert. Defenses ready to be used, magic circles ready to activate, and.... [color=silver]"Ooh! You have a tail?! Awesome!"[/color] a voice cried aloud where Elroy and Regina could hear. .....one slightly bored magical girl who had decided to barge out here in her transformed state because she had become curious about the alert. Elroy and Regina would have seen a magical girl burst out of the front doors like she owned the place, though the gleeful smile on her face spoke a rather friendly manner. A black, inky orb was floating by her side, a fresh new one from Soth after he'd used the last one for...something. Annabelle had no idea what he had wanted to use it for, really, but she had enjoyed the burgers she'd proceeded to order up and eat. Though the third one had been interrupted by this little alert, so she'd asked the "chef" to store it in the fridge until she got back. [color=silver]"Hey there! I guess its nice to see a new face around here. You look kinda cute, but sadly i'm into girls if you're here for me! What ya doin' around my boss' place here?"[/color] Annabelle said as she walked over, giggling after she spoke, as she was standing at the edge of of the border into her patron's territory...on the Soth-controlled side for fear of getting nagged by her Patron...again. The air about Annabelle was rather tame, friendly and open even more than anything. Oddly so for the situation, but it wasn't a lie in any sense either.
