The Old Heranean Doll Museum is a small building, but somehow the dark, dusty windows and poorly maintained roof give it a menacing feel as you approach. The sign says, "OPEN"...although, as you approached, you think it might have been turned to "CLOSED".

The door creaks as it swings open, though there is no one from the museum to greet you as you enter. A cold breeze blows in behind you, sapping any lingering warmth in the room. The building is dark, and cobwebs are starting to form in the corners of the lobby and on the velvet rope stanchions that guide the flow of traffic in and out. Out of a shadowy corner, a large centipede skitters across the floor and into a crack low on the wall.

At the reception desk, one of the antique dolls sits, unmoving, unblinking. That goes without saying. Its eyes do not follow you as you enter.... The hairs prickling up on the back of your neck are just coincidence, that's all.

There is another doll perched on the wooden brochure display stand near the door. It's strange that the curator leaves the display pieces out where visitors can touch them....

As you enter, you hear something whistling through the air toward you a moment before it makes a impact. A tiny pebble, too small to do any damage other than a brief stinging. During this moment of distraction, the door slams and locks.

When you look at the spots where the dolls were perched a moment ago, there is now just empty space. There is movement in the shadows, and the nearly imperceptible sound of tiny shapes creeping around.

As you move past the lobby into the exhibits, a sign above the entryway declares:

Welcome to the Old Heranean Doll Museum. We hope you enjoy our historic Heroes of Light displays.

I hope so!

[And Sasami decides to try something... performing Bite on a skeleton, freaking at least her opponent out.]

[ Amanda steps up forward. Initially, to help support Sasami, but that goal changes to marveling at the girls' attempt to get her daily calcium. ]

You uh... you eat those... bones... girl.

[Okuyasu throws a punch at the next nearest skeleton, unable to pull his eyes away from the second Bite he's seen in his life. He's not sure if a grown man eating a god or a small girl chomping down on a skeleton is freakier. They both are, in different ways.]

...You don't look like you need help, huh.
saint_sami: (Sasami - Gasp!)

[Sasami's hanging on to the skeleton as much as she can, but she's ultimately tossed off, hitting the wall hard.]

...ow...!

[Okay, that skeleton?

That skeleton is getting destroyed.

But first Kisegawa calls upon Fae's Blessing, summoning the fairy Eos to heal Sasami. As she does so, Leviathan-Egi also spurs into action, pushing the offending skeleton off-balance with Tidal Splash and leaving it wide open to attacks from the rest of the team.]


Crush him.

Wow.

[ They have such good parents.

Well whatever! Amanda's gonna finish stepping in, taking a wide slash at the skeleton to get the crushing started. ]
righthandstand: (battle pose!)

Dude.

[Uendo is awesome. One day, he wants to be an adult like him.

As the final skeleton recovers from witnessing the gruesome assault on its comrade, Okuyasu climbs onto a chair and jumps off to knee it in the back. He saw this move on a wrestling match before, and turns out it's fun and effective. The weakened monster cannot put up a fight to Okuyasu's barrage of kicks to turn it into dust.]
