"Basement."

Short and sweet, Britney answered when Penny brought up the question. Which was a good thing about being here in the past before.... the League had the town under its thumb for decades now. Which were a blessing and a curse for its own reasons. Thankfully, it had finally loosened... at the worst time. Britney sighed as Penny suggested their plan; they group up and rush through the building. Which was, honestly, a great idea when they were up against a bunch of screaming/chanting lunatics. 

Maybe they'll be out of here fast enough to go help, Justin.

Lynette's hand grabbing onto Britney's broke the girl out of her line of thought. Lynette shot her a smile as Britney realized that the group was ready. Even though she would have [i]really[/i] preferred that Penny put out that damn cigarette before it gave away their position, but they were short on time. Penny pushed the door open and the group pushed into the lobby and Britney was expecting some resistance. But, the first thing they saw was the massive staircase that was absolutely littered with the dead bodies of both the Corrupted and the police department. The bodies weren't crucified in here... which made Britney wonder what made them stop.

But, she had to remember the architecture. The place was a very rustic type of place with a wooden finish and carpets... obviously not updated in decades. Not that this damn town needed to look nice as the big cities. To their left was a barricaded hallway that Britney felt compelled to explore, and to their right was more of a bloodbath. Dead ahead of them was, again, the staircase, but to the side was an open door... and a blood streak at the floor. Of course, Britney was hesitant to go down there, but she sighed.

"Alright, I suggest that some of the stand guard... I elect myself of course." Britney said, before the creeping feeling that they wouldn't trust her returned. She twisted her face up unintentionally but fixed it. "It'd be easier for me to seal the doors."

"I think I'd feel safer going down," Lynette realized her abstraction wouldn't work too well in a sudden attack. At best she could seal the entrance until they come up with a plan... which was kind of genius. "In fact, I think I'm going to put up a glyph or two just in case."

"There's an elevator and another door on the other side... but the elevator is shit." Britney said without a hint of confidence in the deathtrap known as the "elevator". "Keep an eye on it."

"Got it," Lynette said... from testing she could accomplish around three functional glyphs.

Britney then turned towards Penny, awaiting a response.

"I understand," Justin completely flatly said to Kimberly. as the Soul Self just about finished melting the ice block. "We need to get in there, so ignore any doubts so we can get out of here." Thankfully Rien backed them up.

"I guess..." Kimberly said.

"Creepy, yeah," Jordan said as she wrapped her arms around her torso. She shivered, but in between shivering she gave Rien a look. Turning her head towards her but mostly looking at her with her eyes. Her lips were upturned as she said, "... Didn't Britney said there was a sigil on the Awakened when they die?"

"Yeah..." Kimberly said, "But maybe one of the corrupted took it? Remember Reese's rampage. The town's full of them right now."

"Yeah, but something doesn't seem right-"

"We're in," Justin said as the Soul-Self flew back into his body and he smiled as he looked back at the group. Without asking for a thought he walked up and opened the door. The place was completely dark and Justin sighed as he snapped his fingers and created a flame large enough to illuminate the next couple feet...

And he had to gag.

What he saw was absolutely disgusting. He was unsure of how the hell this even happened... there was a body completely picked clean. It was obviously human because of the shape of the carcass, but the body was merely the rib-cage and some meat left. It was completely unidentifiable as blood was everywhere... and worst of all he could smell the shit left behind.

He staggered a few feet back as he vomited on the pile of snow. "What the hell?!"

Kimberly had to turn away as Jordan solemnly looked on.

"What the hell is in there...?" Jordan said to no one in particular.
