Circumstance was different now. Just eight days ago, Ann and Ariadne had been out on the street, wandering about. Now they were well-fed, cleaned, and cared for. The amount of change that this amount of care did was astounding. Ann's skin tone was no longer of a sickly pale, but it had a peach tone. Even though she was still quite underweight and small for her age, she gained quite a bit of weight since she started eating full, healthy meals. Her hair, adorned with a polkadot bow on top, and clothes, a spring dress with a white top portion and matching polkadot pattern for the bottom dress portion, were clean and tidy. Ariadne mysteriously mirrored Ann's healthy improvements and dress, not even Ann knew how it happens.
Ann and Ariadne had become subject to a routine where they would wake-up, eat breakfast and immediately attend a meeting with a doctor of some sorts. Ann didn't really know what kind of doctor he was as she forgot, but what kind of doctor he wasn't important. What was important was he as a Meta and had the power to read minds, giving him the unique opportunity to read into Ariadne's thoughts. Sometimes he spoke to Ann, trying to pick her brain for previous trauma and detail, but he was really interested in helping Ariadne.
At first, Doctor Hershel Walker was treated to the very harsh imagery that went on through Ariadne's head because she was very, very slow to relax among people and she was very stubborn. Yesterday was the first time, Ariadne hadn't outright thought of screaming obscenities and punching a hole through Hershel's chest. According to Hershel's writing and narration, they were actually making progress on just getting Ariadne to relax and not be so angry all the time. For just a few precious moments, Ariadne did not have that angry scowl on her face and she looked normal with a plain face.
Today, Doctor Hershel wanted to immediately start with Ariadne to build off of the success from yesterday. Ann was happy to oblige and she switched existence planes with her sister and allowed Ariadne sit and talk with Hershel while she, Ann, wandered about the room in her ghastly form. It was a bit boring, to be honest, but Ann was glad that her sister was finally starting to feel relief from all her pent up aggression. At some point during the session, Ann saw a silvery glow of a tendril that slithered inside the room and feel around the walls before continuing onward. Ann avoided it as she did not what it was but being curious, Ann flew over to the wall and peaked out to where the head of the tendril went. It was scrubbing the walls of the next room, just like it had did before. What is that? She thought to herself but this place was definitely a combination of weird and unnatural things so Ann didn't press her pondering or curiosity farther.
Just as he rejoined her sister and the doctor, an alarm sounded causing all three to look around the room. The tendril was being recalled and it vanished from sight. "Ann! Ann!" Doctor Hershel shouted as he glanced around the room, "I suggest you quickly return as I don't have any idea what might be going on..." His voice trailing off at the end there. Ann fluttered over and quickly tapped her sister on the shoulder, causing them both to switch existences again. Ann opened her mouth to ask what was going on, but Doctor Hershel grabbed her gently by the arm and lead her out of his office and progressed towards the back of the building.
For most of the hurried walk, it was quiet as neither of them said a word but the silence under the alarm soon ended as screams began echoing throughout the halls. Hershel hurried, pulling Ann along with him. Security personal with their radios buzzing with activity ran past them in the opposite direction.
Around the rear door, a mosh pit was forming as people were trying to stagger out in droves. Thinking quickly, Hershel pulled Ann along and took her down a hallway with a gentle slope and into the loading dock bay for the building. One of the door shutters were opened while the rest remained shut. He lead Ann through the door and out into a maze of trucks all parked in various spots. The various semi-trucks stretched back to a busy roadway that ran parallel to a stretch of runway.
A few people from the building were milling around, talking amongst themselves or scurrying off away from the building. Off in the distance Ann could see the people from the rear doors trying to escape.
Obviously something bad was happening and Ann suspected Hershel managed to read someone's mind to get a good sense of what it was. "Listen, we need to get away from here. Alright?" He said, worry thick in his voice. He took a moment and glanced around, more people were joining them from the loading dock exit. His gaze slowly traveled around until it settled on the somewhat busy roadway. "Okay, I'm going to see if I can get a car or something. Wait here, okay?" He ran off to the roadway and Ann was left. Her gaze soon left the running Hershel and watched people scattering out of the building in a frenzy.

If I'm out of line, I'm sorry; I was being ignorant and hasty, not actively malicious.
No, it's just having an answer to things breaks a lot of tension. This is supposed to be the big bad, slaughtering innocents and some of that horrific experience is removed when the building has drop away walls. But other stuff mentioned can add to that tension. Your mention of multiple guards pouring out, loads of experimental weaponry to pack heavy hits... But have that best laid contingency being ruined by an unexpected Meta Power like Patel. Scary.

Alrighty. No prob.
Also there are a bunch of turkeys outside my apartment right now. I'm surprised they made their way this deep into an urban area, but they're cute and everyone is having a fun time playing with them. lol.
That's pretty funny! And very coincidental as I just saw a turkey roaming my parents' backyard.
Since it is Easter, I haven't been on too much. Only to look at updates and such. Anyway I'll post tomorrow at any rate...
But, um. I would like to formally lodge a complaint. I don't think the building needs to be super special with all these shields and stuff.
I guess not really a compliant. I guess I don't really know what's up with giving the building a bunch of hi-tech stuff.

What would they have Ann and Ariadne do, then?
Riiight... Tendrils, I'll make note of it in my post.
But what is Ann doing? Mandatory training? Or keeping to herself?

Yep.
I'm fine with it.
Although Ann had expected a response, she did not expect it a masculine voice coming from the dog. She sat there, stunned with a confused expression plastered on her face, and did not immediately answer the dog. Once the realization that a dog had actually asked how she was feeling, she began to lighten up a bit because... who honestly would expect a dog to visit her. Obviously these two were more people like herself and they had their own powers because nobody other than the dead could really exist where they were at right now. These two were probably much like herself... or that Kuro-boy.
Speaking of which, Ann was surprised to see him enter the room as she had just presumed he might not cared, but she didn't appear happy to see him. Kuro immediately charged the dog and yelped a mouthful that Ann would compare to a cartoon rabbit bouncing up and down, spazzing ecstatically. The dog obviously did not like that and as soon as it broke free, toppled Kuro. A very small part of her thought he kind of deserved that, but the rest of her hoped he wasn't going to be actually hurt.
The woman pulled the dog off and as Kuro got up, he broke some very bad news that easily overshadowed Kuro's apology and the lady's question asked immediately afterwards. "Oh no! Ariadne!" She expressed with guilt and immediately sprang to her transparent feet. She leapt from the table but did not fall as she flew across the room, feet tailing behind her, and went through the wall without hesitation.
It didn't take long to find Ariadne as she had just kicked in a door on the second floor that had been presumably locked, startling the inhabitants inside. "Oh Ariadne!" Ann exclaimed as she flew straight at her sister and immediately wrapped her up in tight hug. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to worry you!" She quickly spat out as the two switched existence planes, allowing Ann to return to mortality and Ariadne to vanish from view. Ann quickly released her sister, less they transform again. "I didn't know where the room was... could you..?" Ann inquired and Ariadne nodded, her face expressing anger but with a noticeable depression of worry. Ariadne lead Ann back down to their room and Ann returned to watching cartoons in silence and in the darkness.
