Outside 50: Meeting nature halfway

[Purple Eagle]

Blackheart Woods

There is no magic upon the door, nor the key. The key turns and the door opens quite easily. Beyond is a chamber much larger than the first. There's several large benches and tables against the walls, with quite a bit of detritus and rubbish upon them. There's three doors, including the one the two girls have used. One wooden door to their left, and a concrete arch to the right. There's a large mirror hanging on one of the walls, surprisingly clean given the decay and dust everywhere else. In the centre of the room is a table with four old and battered computers on. They're really early models, easily twenty years old, maybe even thirty years, compared with modern technology. Of course, this ruin has been abandoned for far longer than that, so that's just comparing their appearances. There's no power down here; the lights aren't working, and the switch on the wall won't do anything. So Karasu would need to either take one out and patch it up or take a look at the insides to determine what they're actually like. One would be easier to remove than the others, since it's designed to be portable, though not a true laptop- it's too chunky, and isn't straight, and the screen flips up but not all the way at the back.

Natalie looks around over Karasu's shoulder, with some interest. "Those are weird looking computers." She's not seen computers quite so old, since they don't exist in her world so she's only seen them in the Nexus, where more modern-looking examples are available.

Once they get to their destination, Karasu looks around, immediately noticing the state of the mirror and narrowing her eyes at it. She makes quick mental notes of everything in the room, compared to its current state. "Positively ancient, really, though less so compared to what's considered 'modern' in places like Inside."

She nods her head toward the mirror, not surprised at this point that Natalie missed that. Thinking about how oblivious she can be at times brings a small smile to Karasu's face. "Mirror bothers me. Looks too clean, compared to the area. Maybe magic? More interesting than the computers, though." It'd be the reverse if it were Mirai and not Karasu, her brother would dart straight for the computers whilst keeping an eye on the mirror.

On her way to the mirror, she does pick up one of the portable computers to have a look at after she's done studying the mirror. "Big bro can have a look at this..." She says, adding it to her inventory/'storage bead' of holding. It's chunky, so it consumes a some amount of inventory space, regardless.
