SHINE A LIGHT ♠️ private, research

[Alice Scevidinia]

The school of old brought back a haunting sense of nostalgia for the young blonde. Had she not lost her memories here once before? Maybe, maybe not. This was not quite the same place or space, was it? Nevertheless, the wind of the area itself was evocative enough as blue eyes held a firm and bold gaze on the setting. Public High School One Three Seven.

The structure itself had been closed and abandoned, leaving it useless and discarded, hardly coming back to light in anything but memories. Why was she here? The answer was simple; she was insatiably curious, even of the smallest of things. The trait was both a charming strength and a curse, yet thankfully, she would not be indulging her curiosity alone. A certain someone would be with her; a person who she had grown to truly admire and look up to, to put it very lightly and formally, and on top of everything else. Turning to Vincent, Alice would toss him another familiar and daring smile as they two would observe the old school. "Ready to go in?" She chirped, asking the redundant question. The answer was obvious.

[Vincent Yukino]

And what was it to her if it were not for him? The Brunette standing right by her side as his eyes would lock onto the abandoned scenery in front of them. It shut down, eh? As much as he knew, he liked to believe that there was much left uncovered. Some memories that were left behind and this copy might be able to carry out the task of replicating what he once remembered. Of course, the one who even opened up his eyes to what it really was. Probably one of the smartest and calculating beings to exist, yet he knew her by a simple name. Alice. And she seemed just as ready to explore the past. Oh man, how he could not express how grateful to her he was that she joined along with him. With a small nod of the head, eyes half-closed and lips pulling upwards, he would then look forward to the school before walking towards the closed gate. Their first task.

[Alice Scevidinia]

A closed gate; no big obstacle for the duo. It was locked, but personally, Alice did not feel like going through the trouble of picking the lock. It was not too hard to use a hair pin for it, which luckily, she somehow had on her despite her preference of wearing her hair down. Not only that, but it would take far too long to successfully cheat the lock, and their illegal intentions would be obvious. They were already acting suspiciously enough as it was just by being there. Despite not having much more strength than an average human anymore, she would place both hands on the climbable walls of the gate. The fence and gate was cast iron and verticle, but with enough grip and power, overcoming the obstacle would not be too hard. She glanced over with her bright blue eyes at Vincent, wondering if he had the same idea as her. Other options were available, but this seemed to be the quickest.

[Vincent Yukino]

To climb up the gate was their only realistic option. Breaking the lock with a good fist was something that he might have been able to do in the past, but with his strength heavily reduced due to a lack of practice, now he had to answer to the situation with a different tactic. Of course, picking the lock was not something that he had been taught to do, since he was far too lazy to even learn such a complicated task. Yeah, he did have an interest at one point, but it was often used for break-ins without fighting, and since when did he do such a thing? However, it was just two students against a huge number of guards, and in his current state, that would not be realistic to take on. Climbing was their only hope, and Alice seemed to think so as she would turn her head to the side expectantly. In return, the Yukino would nod his head before walking to the wall, placing his back against it before cupping his palms below, looking back up at her. He planned for her to use his palms as a stepping stone before she jumped up once again, so that she would be able to get into the scene without much climbing. The more time they wasted here, the higher the chances of them getting caught.

[Alice Scevidinia]

"You're too kind~" Alice whispered in a formal yet flirty manner, eagerly approaching him to gently step up on his hand to be assisted in climbing. The cast iron rods that formed the fence were sharp up on top. The blonde had to maneuver carefully to avoid hurting herself on the deadly tips. She would elegantly leap to the other side of the fence, and turn to face Vincent. "Need any help?" the blonde would ask, despite having the inkling that her tall and strong friend would not need any assistance.

[Vincent Yukino]

He'd chuckle a little bit at her flirty remark as she would accept his offer, placing her foot onto his palm to help herself up before reaching the top of the wall. She'd then ask him if he needed any help, and by now, she probably would know the answer. So with a small shake of the head, he would then jump up with all of his leg strength before gripping onto a ledge and begin his climb upwards on the wall. It was small, but it took him nearly half of a minute before finally making it up to the top of the wall. Perfect, now they both were there. Sweet, now let's go! He would jump off to the other side of the wall and back down onto the ground of the abandoned private property.

[Zack Asiv]

Now inside the gates and heading for the slowly deteriorating building that once housed a bustling crowed of hopeful and bright students living a mostly peaceful life. Even the violent ones held a level of honor that kept them from really hurting anyone.

Now it was being reclaimed by nature with holes and broken windows, vines and birds. However that wasn't everything. There would be a loud thud like something large and metal slamming into a wall.

[Alice Scevidinia]

It did not take too long at all for Vincent to completely climb the fence. He was ever so slightly stronger than she, and taller, naturally, so it was likely much easier for him to get over it by himself than she. It did not mean she could not, it simply meant that it was faster for him. Once he was completely over the gate and inside the yard, Alice continued towards the abandoned high school alongside him. The instant metallic thud that sounded, however, almost startled the blonde, and put her on full alert. Surely it was nothing... hopefully...

[Vincent Yukino]

The metallic sound did not phase the Yukino! And being the daring, but unwise being he was, he would begin to advance onto the scene, getting closer towards the doors of the school. It was known to have a good sense of security when locked, since the doors were always too heavy for him to kick down. Damn it... They might need another way into the school. The best shot they had was to find a window to break and jump through. Seems like the front door is locked, care to travel to the side?

[Zack Asiv]

A yell from a male would be heard inside, one of pain before the doors would bend harshly in the middle from some sort of intense impact inside.

They were obviously not alone.

[Alice Scevidinia]

Alice opened her mouth to respond to Vincent, when the loud thud against the door was quick to redirect her attention. The door even bent, and how could one have missed that cry of pain that sounded from within? Had the school become the hideout or main base of operation for some violent gang? Or was there simply mischief going on inside and it was legal authority involved, who was dealing with a trespasser? The blonde could not say, but was not ready to give up just yet. In fact, this could be fun. A sly smile creeping to her amused expression, Alice crossed her arms in a relaxed manner, chuckling softly to herself. "Shall we knock~?"

[Vincent Yukino]

Screw knocking! We could get in there if we pull the weakened door now! Vincent would tell her as he would grab onto one of the handles oh so smartly, probably going to get what he deserves because of it, but at least he was ambitious to get in. He would place his right hand into the handle of the door before attempting to pull on it, but it did not seem to budge the first time. Perhaps that impact somehow did not affect the result? It was not like the Yukino was so quick to give in though, not when he thought there was the slightest chance of being able to do something. So he would continue trying to pull.

[Zack Asiv]

It would only take another attempt to feel the door shift before breaking through and opening completely. A limp body would fall out from its seated position against the door.

It seemed to be a kid of high school age with a bloody face. Still breathing luckily. The assailant was not here though.

[Alice Scevidinia]

Alice returned Vincent's daring words with a lighthearted giggle of her own. It was not the wisest plan, but heck, why not? At least it would not be her getting pounced on by whatever monster lurked right behind. The door suddenly opened, having not been entirely sealed somehow, and out fell the upper body of a high school student with a beaten, bloody, and bruised face. He seemed to be unconscious, but still alive as the blonde gazed down at him suspiciously. As they peered into the main hall in the interior, however, there was nobody to be seen. Obviously this teen's wounds were fresh... but who could have possibly been the offender? Alice said nothing, only glancing at Vincent once before she attempted to walk over the kid and cautiously into the school, keeping her guard up and her wits about her.

[Vincent Yukino]

Many signs were telling them to go back and avoid the certain danger that was ahead. Did they mean anything? It would be stupid to turn back now, what with all of the curiosity that was there. The last kid could not survive on his own, but he had Alice by his side. Even then, comparing himself to that bloody-faced kid would be an insult. To the kid of course, because he did not deserve to have such a haircut. So as he would go around the door to go towards the inside of the school through the door. His guard was up of course, but there was no attacker to be seen, it seems like they were gone... For the moment of course. They had to return eventually. For now, they were now inside of the school.
