It had been a long time since he'd been here. Somehow the tower never seemed to lose its luster despite the sandy beating it periodically weathered in the desert sand storms.
"Just wait til you see the inside. Damn, this place brings back memories!" Cerpin flashed his companions a confident grin. Aerona and Tevini had come along with him tonight to explore the old skyscraper and help paw through the stuff inside it. After a few sweeps of neglect, it was bound to be covered in dust. It was time to air it all out. They'd look for anything useful or valuable while also clearing the space.
While Underworld was a great space to make contact with potential rebel sympathizers and entertain a massive audience, it was no longer a safe place to work on rebel activities. Not only was the place growing in popularity but with the arrival of Aerona's lusus, all rebel discussion was on a tight lockdown inside the hive. There was no way he was sending the lusus somewhere else when Aerona had been so desperate to get her mother to safety to the point of 'dating' him. He doubted she would've chosen this if she'd had any other options.
"Welcome to cloud nine." He swiped a keycard outside the entrance way and the doors automatically opened. The inside was decorated luxuriously with gold, black and purple motifs throughout the design. It resembled a hotel lobby with plush seating available and a large artificial fireplace on one side of the room. The sound of trickling water from the door across the way had to mean there was also an impressive fountain somewhere nearby.
"I don't think we're gonna find much on the ground level to be honest. Most of the interesting stuff is higher up." He'd spent so many beetles on every whimsy he could think of. It was honestly embarrassing to look back on now that he was grown and trying to move past his highblooded past but he could not erase all the mistakes he had made in his youth. All he could hope was that they'd be entertained enough by the rainbow panel level on the 4th floor or the trampoline room on floor 7 to not scold him over these indulgences.
"Just a heads up- don't press multiple buttons at once." Cerpin tapped the wall next to a sleek black elevator with gold diamond decals on the architecture. "Which floor do you guys wanna check out first?"
There was a long list of floors with names printed in a frame hung in the elevator. Some of the stand-outs were:
cloud nine elevator 1: Lobby Level 2. Cuisine Floor 3. Spa Floor 4. Rainbow Floor ... 7. Trampoline Time ... 10. The Floor is Lava 11. Penthouse ... 13. Telescope Testing
Doutei you all can feel free to make up any kinds of rooms or stuff in the building
KitsuneAura also bunsen can have set up traps or do whatever modifications while cerpin was gone
Sypon remember, DON'T press multiple buttons

Somewhere far above the three, Bunsen suddenly jolted out of his thoughts. He was still sprawled out on the floor, same as he had been when he'd gotten off onto a tangent that had seemed to be surely leading to some interesting discovery to be made. He wasn't sure what had interrupted the train of thought, but he supposed the only logical thing to do now would be to look into it. That decided, he didn't move for another few moments.
"No, same amount," he mumbled finally, sitting up in one smooth movement and turning his head. "Fruit, flower, flavor," a finger tapped against his leg with each word and then he jolted to his feet. "Fire!" There was, however, no fire to be found in the general vicinity. Was that the problem? There was a huff down around his feet, and he tilted his head down to regard his lusus. Well, that answered that question, didn't it?
Before he could ask what Bropane had wanted, he realized his finger was still tapping against his side. Too far apart to be a song beat, but it matched up to something on his mind, if he could just focus- Ah, there it was! His head lifted again. Across the room, just within his goggles-limited peripheral vision, the lights above the elevator counted down floors in time with each tap. "Three...two...one. Bropane, we have company!"
On the first floor, the elevator doors opened to Cerpin, Aerona, and Tevini. On the back wall, the first thing in sight before even the frame of floor names, was a cartoonish painting of a face.
