Across Universes

-Ges is more just surprised middle class suburban housing is still standing-

-regardless he keeps his head on a swivel for anything unfriendly-

-Albert is checking the mailboxes-

Ironscales: You're not gonna find any guns or ammo in there, Albert, stop trying.

-When you do find things in the mailboxes-

-they seem to hold mail-

-As for everyone else, closing in reveals that while middle-class suburban housing may still be standing, it has weathered the eons exactly as well as you'd expect middle-class suburban housing to weather it. Windows are broken, some houses are overgrown, others look like they've already collapsed-

-Some lawns aren't so much lawns as miniature forests-

@Ironscales Albert: "I found mail, which is almost as good."

-Starts to read said mail-

Lovisia: ~checks the map~

-Maggy gently prods Albert with one of the mounted pistols like tapping on his shoulder-

Maggy: That is an invasion of privacy.

Ironscales: I'm afraid he doesn't give a fuck about the privacy of dead people, man.

Quartz: I... Am sort of interested in the contents, actually. Could it help us figure out what happened to the previous civilization here?

-Ges pulls out one of his fuma shuriken and starts spinning it in his hand to create a sort of lawn mower blade to cut away the grass infront of him-

@Maggy Albert: "And they're dead. It's not like I'm grave robbing."

-You feel the immense disappointment of a nascent artificial intelligence weight heavily upon your shriveled up soul, Albert-

-Nevertheless, Maggy leaves you to your grave robbing as she slowly travels from house to house, looking inside for possible non-hostiles in this ruined city-

-Well, Albert, as you open the message some sort of white powder falls out of it-

-You remain on course, Lovisia-

-Gespenst is well capable of cutting some lawns as the group passes through this area-

-Maggie doesn't find anyone living in the dessicated houses she peers into. They are empty and lifeless, the only sounds she can hear being what few electronics remain active, as well as the wind whistling through other broken windows-

Ges: <I doubt you'll find anything Maggy, this place was dead long before we got here unfortunately.>

Quartz (@Maggie): See anything?

-Ironscales keeps on movin' along-

Maggie: No hostile life forms detected. No friendly life forms detected.

Can concur. Estimation of 20 to 50 years for an urban landscape to be in this state.

A shame.

Albert: "I think I just found poison. Or Flour. Or cocaine."

-Looks at the letter itself-

Ao:That is the actual definition of grave robbing.

....But I'm not judging.

-Ao keeps on moving-

@Ao Albert: "This is a mail box. Not a grave."

Quartz (@Maggie): Do you see anything pointing to the cause of their disparition?

Suzu: Mail isnt even that useful...

@Ao: Have issues with wet fur? Do you style it?

@Suzu Albert: "You'll be surprised."

-Maggie searches for potential signs-

Ao:Well....I try to take care of it.

Suzu: I have some water-repelling hair spray when we get back to the ship, if you would like some.

-The message appears to be advertising for some type of pill that will apparently restore your youthfulness when you take it. If you've ever experienced trouble trying to last where it counts, this pill is apparently medically proven to increase stamina and size, ensuring that whenever you're called on, you'll never disappoint-

-Everyone else, in the meanwhile, keeps moving-

-In the distance you can see the city's skyline-
