Is totally not scared of ghosts.

Characters: Vera Solomon, Open
When: 24th September
Where: The Hospital
Rating: PG
Summary: Vera decides to go ghost hunting. Unfortunately, she's not too big a fan of the supernatural. At all.

The hospital is an old, tall building with plants slowly creeping their way up and through the walls and it just seemed to generate a feeling of eeriness, the fact it was raining didn't seem to help.

Vera wasn't even inside yet, and she hated it already.

She shifted irritably in front of the old building, hands buried deep in her trench coat pockets; making sure to keep a glare firmly fixed on it. Really though, why the hell was she feeling so uncomfortable; she'd been in old, abandoned buildings before, the only thing that made this one different was the possibility of ghosts...

...Maybe she'll stay outside for a few more minutes.

Okami smiled softly, almost bitterly, glancing away, "Oh, I suppose you could say that...but they were human. I don't suppose you could really blame them for thinking they were helping." He shook his head, "It's not an excuse, but it seems like human nature for them to want to kill each other."

He followed Vera, still careful to keep his distance, glancing around absently. He couldn't sense anything, but that didn't mean there wasn't anything around. This place messed with his head, body and with his magic. He shifted, reaching into his bag for one of his guns and taking it out, examining it. It'd been a while since he used them but they would never fail him, regardless of how much time passed.

He kept walking when the woman stopped, blinking and turning to look back at her, tilting his head, "Is something the matter?" He followed her gaze, tilting his head the other way. The shadows played tricks on the eye, but in this place...it probably wasn't just shadows.

He looked back to her, smiling gently, "Come on, the sooner we find the records, the sooner you can get out of here."

The young woman frowned but nodded, and continued to walk forward, feeling annoyed with herself even more. There was no reason to be scared, it wasn't like they could hurt her, but the thought of seeing or hearing ghosts scared her witless. And anyway, the dead were meant to stay dead, not wander around as spirits...Maybe that was why she's so scared then.

Unlike Okami, Vera had neglected to bring any weapons with her; they were normal guns and she doubted that they would have any effect on ghosts. So it seemed like she would have to rely on the other two in the event that anything does happen.

"Some soldier I am." Vera thought to herself glumly as she walked up to a stairwell. The young woman frowned as thought of what path to take; while she really didn't want to go down, lower levels were usually where records are kept.

So, once again steeling herself, she began to walk down the stairs, shuddering slightly from a chill that seemed to emit from the lower level.

Okami hesitated at the top of the stairs, glancing back down the corridor, past Riku and frowning. He didn't really want to go downstairs, it seemed worse the further they went. Was it this bad when he rushed through the first time? He smiled, shaking his head, maybe it was because of the company. They were making him jumpy.

He muttered something under his breath, one of the orbs floating ahead of them, disappearing down the stairs. He laid his hand on the railing, gripping it to steady himself.

He stepped in front of Vera a little once they reached the next floor, glancing down one corridor and then the next. Had it gotten darker? He shifted his strap to his other shoulder and tilted his head, "Which way do you think we should go first?"
