Dirt, rubble, and broken glass is all the remains of the SB HQ after the attack upon it about a week ago. The debre has settled after, smoke and dust cleared. A bright sunny day that masks the tragidy felt here by those who once made this their home. Even a few ferals have taken to the place, using the small sections where the roof still covers as protection from the elements.
Bits of glass and gravelized rubble crunch under Userpay's feet as shi lands just down the road from the SB. Even from afar the salamander had felt the painful pangs of the memory of that day. Still seems life went on if the new 'occupants' were anything to go by.
Having noted the destruction of the building a few days ago Tilly returns to the site looking to see what can be found to remain, canvas rucksack slung over one shoulder the zebra looks over the surrounding area briefly from across the street before spotting Userpay landing at the site. Recognizing hir as a fellow member and the first one he has seen since the incident he adjust his rucksack and runs across the street over to User.
Seeing Tilly, the few ferals look at the zebra walking around their new home. The huskies growl a bit, skunks chittering, and latex foxes yapping in their squicky voices. Nothing much else to notice for the time, other then a complete lack large dragon body that would otherwise be an indication that Mira was here.
The salamander warily eyes the ferals from behind the hir helmet, though still approaches slowly. A large rifle is held unslung though down low in a non-threatening manner, there was no sense in provoking them if necessary. Still... Where was Miranai? Seeing the zebra however Userpay pauses in front of the building to let him catch up. Evidently an associate though not one shi knew.
Tilly turns his head to look at the nearby ferals momentarily as he walks before stopping a couple feet from User and turning back to face the salamander "Don't believe we've made acquaintance but iv seen you around before.". Then nodding to the destroyed building "Came to see what I could recover. Why don't you assist me?" the equine asks before turning away and heading over to the SB building.
Though alongside the natural sounds of the windy, mutated city around them, the soft sounds of footsteps approaches the place where Tilly and Userpay are standing... Specifically, Anbessa. The suit wearing human looks towards the rubble as Tilly and Userpay can easilly see the red eyes and bags under them as the human trudges over. Sadly, his suit looks rather untidy, which is very uncommon for the man, though at least he is armed with that strange Steyr AUG weapon and, interestingly, a lightweight spear resting across his back. "... I don't see Mira's body..." Anbessa's tone is rather melancholy, though it fades some as he speaks his realization, the human raising an eyebrow as he looks towards the salamander and zebra curiously. "You'd think a giant dragoness' body would be easy to spot..."
The more agents that collect near the building, the more the ferals seem to get agitated, moving around, barking, squicking, chittering at them. It seems they don't like their potental new home being observed by them! Lots of growling start to come from them, a warning to stay away from what they have claimed.
The salamander gives the zebra a slow nod. Userpay vaguely recalled hearing of an equine member though they hadn't met, perhaps this was him. "My name is Userpay, and help freely given is help gladly accepted yet... While there are things that need be recovered from the wreckage there is something that presses on my mind more." Shi turns to survey the rubble, or rather were a large body should have been. "Miranai fell here during the destruction of the SB yet I see not her nor her body." The salamander turns and inclines hir head to Anbessa. "Which means it must have been moved... But by who?"
The agitated ferals begin to draw Userpay's attention and shi turns to observe them once more. "I suppose they are all we have to go by." The salamander takes a couple of steps forward. "Would any of you speak with us? There was another, a big person here several days past. Where did they go?"
Tilly had already turned and swiftly moved away before User gave hir reply instead after noticing Anbessa approaching waving for him to follow as well before running off to clamer over the rubble over to where the den used to be. He stops there and begins picking up pieces and turning them over sifting through pieces of ceiling and wall in order to see what could be dug up. He stops though after a few moments of this noting the ferals increased agitation and opening his pack pulls out both his zeliska and knife, holstering the gun on the packs strap before sheathing his knife.
Miora slowly shows up to the scene of the remaining base, her body bundled up in a button up sweater, scarf and knee length skirt, rather odd for the normally nude husky. She didn't seem to mind the barks and yaps of the others, her face a sulked look to it, the bit of her lower face not covered by the scarf having two lines beneath her eyes, both matted down by streaks of tears that had been running down her face. She didn't want to help look for any pieces left of Mira, not able to really stand thinking of Mira in that shape... a part of her ocming on the hope she was alive and perhaps burried... she moved to sit on a remaining piece of wall, her ears folded back and pulling her knees up to her chest.
Along with the husky comes a similarly melancholy Selyra, one arm held behind the poor girl's back. "There there, sweetie... I know, trust me..." she says in a monotonous voice, the return to the building being hard on the collie as well. As they approach, Selyra calls out towards the building, just to make sure that anyone inside knew she was coming. "It's Selyra, and Miora." she tells them, bringing the moping husky up in front of the building. The first thing she notices is that Mira's dragon body was not present in front of the building. "She's... not here?" she asks in an astonished tone, directing that question towards anyone that might be standing in what was once the lounge.
Anbessa nods his head to Userpay's words as he squints at the ferals who are scattered about the place where his family's main base once stood, him resisting that cruel little part of him that is telling him to raise his gun. Though as he restates what Userpay said in his head, he looks downwards before he looks towards Selyra and Miora. "Well... I don't think that nanites can shift a corpse's shape... And seeing as there isn't a massive blood trail... Maybe Miranai is somewhere?" The human asks, the man's tone obviously telling that he is grabbing at straws, him looking towards Tilly and Userpay afterwords for few moments, as if trying to get some type of confirmation to his... Well, hope.
Even more agents approching, the ferals get even more agitated, barking, squeeking, chittering, it looks like they are ready to defend their new home. Huskies, Skunks, Latex Foxes all, looking as if they are fond of where they have found themselves, and completely unwilling to give up. As the group discusses things, they continue their shows of dominance and agression.
Userpay's mouth opens uselessly as shi watches the horse stride right into the middle of everything. Perhaps this explained why he wasn't around much... Still at the voice the salamander turns and gives a wave of acknowledgement to the husky and collie. "It seems that way but not sure why..." Shi calls back keeping one eye on the ferals. It is a disappointment that said ferals appear to have none amongst them with coherent thought, or at least that would let them respond in word. "Horse... You might want to get down from there." This wasn't getting them anywhere yet... Perhaps an aerial view might help. The salamander's wings pump, sending hir upwards until shi hovers a story over the ruble. Eyes roving trying to spot a clue.
Tilly Stands back up strait slinging his rucksack over one arm. Then hearing Sel's voice behind him he perks up his ears and turns his head to look over his shoulder and not seeing her the equine turns around and moves over towards the front of the building where the lobby once was to look back to the group that was still holding back down the street a ways looking to see if Sel was with them. Then with one of the closer ferals yiping and growling at him he turns to face it while making a shooing gesture yelling "get, you mingy little thing!" at it, seeming quite annoyed that it had taken up residence here.
Even while sitting down she made sure not to stray too far form Selyra. She had her ears pinned back, still worried even with no sign of Mira's body, her body feeling dead to herself, she felt completely destroyed... as she sits near Seli she does her best to keep to herself, although as she hears the barks get closer to her, her eyes glow and she was in little to no mood for another attack, a few electic like surges going over her as her dormant nanites start to become active. While nothing happened anything that could even slightly feel a surge of nanites could feel them coming from her. The warning not the only noticable thing as a rather large ring of thick spiked root loomed there, ready to shoot out and bind anything that tried to come closer or to block any projectiles. Her eyes glowing a deep azura blue, almost burning in intensity, it seemed the husky was a rather polar opposite of her normal self.
The collie stands outside the building, nearby the front doors, in hopes of finding any trace of the corpse, but it seems it has gotten up and walked away. She latches onto the sight of Anbessa the moment she sees him, wherever he may be, her heart holding onto any bit of the group's normality that it can after such a devastating loss. "A-and it might have taken longer than this to take it all apart, I mean..." she trails off, grasping at the same straws as her human mate. Seeing the presence of the new resident ferals, she frowns, her recently renewed resolve starts to crumble away. On the verge of more tears due to the fact that ferals have already taken refuge in the ruins of their old home, she decides to show no mercy if they make any kind of move. However, her canning of the ferals led her vision to cross over Userpay, who stands a ways down the street from the building. Her eyes open wide, and her tail starts to swish a little. "Userpay? Is that you? You made it!" she cries in surprise, glad that at least someone other than her little group made it out alive. She wonders who else might have lived from the traumatic event. Tilly's voice and his appearance in the lounge of the building draws her attention there, tail swishing a bit more behind her. "Oh, Tilly! We really could have used your help during this..." she says a bit darly, but Miora's show of force gets her attention even better. "Miora, sweetie! It's going to be okay, I promise you." she tries to get the poor sensitive husky to calm down a little, but if she can fend off the ferals, that might help her in a small way of getting her emotions out. After her attempt at stabilizing Miora, she tries to focus some more on the area where she knows Mira was, then blinks at a realization. "H-hey... guys?" she calls out, waving anyone that can see her near. "Mira fell right here... but it seems like she was moved, see? These chunks would have been several feet this way if the hadn't been moved out of the way."
Anbessa's eyes try to scan for more hope from the group, though at the excessive noises coming from the ferals, the human cannot help but grip his teeth... They are standing where THEY used to live. They are standing where Mira got BLASTED merely a little while ago. Added on Selyra already CRYING?! Ohhh gods the human is stepping forward. "Nrrgh! Shut the FUCK UP!" Anbessa's shout booms suddenly as the man pulls the trigger of the AUG in his hand, letting out a blue gunshot into the air. "I am NOT in the mood for you feral FUCKS!" The human growls out, taking more steps forward as he levels his AUG on the ferals. "Step the fuck up! C'mon!" The human's eyes dart from feral to feral as his finger nestles up to the trigger, as if challenging the idiotic smallfry that inhabit his old home. No doubt, the man is PISSED, and about ready to let it out ALL over the first challenger, ignorant to the others own challenges and words around him.
With the intimidating Anbessa and Miora, along with Tilly approching, the ferals seem to calm down, much less squeeking, barking, and cittering, but they still seem ready to try and keep where they have made a home. A few snaps at Tilly as he tries to shoo them away, it seems they do not want to leave, though through all the sounds some speech can be heard, mostly trying to comfort some of the others, words hardly recongisable, and very broken, but there.
Userpay grimaces, while the higher viewpoint helped it certainly didn't aid specific details. Still... The salamander pins the safety on hir rifle and slings it onto hir back before beginning to slowly drift down, hands up and non-aggressive, towards a likely spot which happened to be where Sel just started pointing. The entrance. Hearing broken talk amongst the ferals however the salamander's hopes raise. "Oi, you lot in there." Shi calls out to the ferals, pointing to accent what shi says. "There was a big person here. Few days ago. Where is?" Even during that though Userpay casts hir eyes around, looking for any further clues where Mira had lain.
Tilly folds his ears back flat as he hears Anbessa's yelling and shakes his head a bit. Then he takes another step forward towards the ferals continuing his shooing motion exclaiming "Fucking git already you fucks!" and as one lunges at him to try and bite Tilly attempts to grab the offending feral even if that meant getting bit lunging forward a bit in order in to try and grapple it "Oh no you fucking dont, get back here!".
Miora does calm down a bit at Seli's voice, her nanite's seeming to slow and calm, although the roots didn't disappear, if anything more were starting to sprout and her eyes still glowed the bright blue color. She kept quiet and still sat there, knees up to her chest, she had been paying a bit of attention to them, but she still felt like she had messed up... she wasn't here to help Mira she didn't even get to try and do anything to help her... she still sat legs up to her chest. Eyes closing a but and burrying herself in her scarf more... it being one Mira had worn before, it still carrying a little of her scent in it. She closed her eyes and lowered her head, a faint glow coming from behindt he eyelids but otherwise she doesn't move too much
