- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
One can trace the call to a normal, boring iteration of Earth. It is almost night in a nondescript city, most likely New York-- the fact of the matter is that where isn't important, because there's nothing to really look at. The location, however, isn't one where you'd expect to get a call from; nor are there police cars in front of it. For all intents and purposes, it's a small office building, or what must have been years ago anyway. Now it's just a discolored wreck, evidently one that a large fire claimed, though the walls and roof are still standing.
The door is half open, but dust all around it suggests nobody's been in there for a while. Nothing is lit inside, while the one light over the entrance flickers on and off.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
It's not as if Eleanor had other things to handle tonight. Psyber spouting his inner thoughts, the girls missing, and more. But this was an emergency, or at least it seemed to be and fires need to be put out. And so Miss Lamb stands slightly confused outside, flipping her wrench absently in her hand. "Honestly, I'm not seeing anthing here, are you? This is... This better not be a prank."
"Listen to me, today of all days."
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
'HEY I'M WALKIN' HERE YOU COUNTRY RUBE <Rant rant rant>'
Dominic flinches as yet another busy New Yorker screams at him for not watching where he's going on the street. Unfortunately for that guy, Dominic is Ramuhan, which is Magical New York. Dominic is dressed in jeans, a shirt, a leather jacket and carrying a cane to avoid using a sword. And he's not a Prince for the day, so the jeans-clad Fencer shouts back.
"HEY. YOU WANNA THROW DOWN? YEAH. YEAH JUST WALK AWAY."
If nothing else, Kyra may be rubbing a LITTLE bit of delinquency into him. He approaches the house somewhat casually, though, "I thought there would be authorities here. Did we get the address wrong?"
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
By Dominic's suggestion, Kyra accompanied him to respond to the very brief and cryptic message sent out to the police in...Earth? Yes, it looks like another Earth. There were many iterations of 'Earth' out there and fortunately some brilliant individual had long start appending numbers to them to differentiate them all. As far as Earths go, this one seemed fairly strange to her, evidently lacking in magic altogether. But a good multiversal explorer such as herself would not be deterred!
As she arrives, Kyra already has her phone out. In fact, based on the way she's holding it she seems like she's recording herself and/or what's in front of them. "Oh, it could be more of that 'April Fools' trickery that's so popular today, Dominic!" Kyra sounds extraordinarily excited.
She flips the phone so she gets a good look at the delapidated building. "Someone probably called a fake incident into the cops. But we can't be sure about that really, unless~" Kyra waggles her fingers, "We go in and investigate!"
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
It's rare for Setsuko to find herself in any situation that isn't either already a fight, or soon to devolve into one. It's her nature, and she's long accepted it; even whim or whimsy seems to take her to one battlefield after another.
A strange police call is not her usual fare, however, and she's hoping that for just this once, perhaps it will be easier to resolve.
The building is regarded with a suspicious frown, before the swordsman turns to look at Eleanor with a slightly raised eyebrow. "I almost hope it is. This is the sort of place that bodes ill for most people if it's not a prank." She turns to glance Kyra's way. "I don't know. We don't usually get intercepted calls like that which turn out to be pranks."
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
If it's a prank, there's no signs of the pranksters anywhere, or of the cops taking it seriously. The windows of the building are barricaded, and none were breached. There's another entrance, on the other side of the building, but it's barred shut, and just as dusty. So if this is a prank, there'd have to be another way into the building, which seems unlikely.
Going inside reveals a black and white checkered floor, and a hallway. It continues ahead for a while and turns right, but halfway there is a door on the right leading into another room. Well, doorway, there's no actual door.
There is barely any light inside, most of it coming from the door leading outside-- so past this point, the group will want to bring some light to the table!
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic has light, thankfully. One hand fishes around in the pocket of his jacket before pulling out a pen-sized flashlight. He flicks it on and looks to Kyra, "It would be a terrible prank were it actually one. It lacks humor or originality," He adds, scowling a bit. He shines the light around.
Eleanor and Setsuko, for their parts, get a polite nod of greeting. He recognizes both, having seen them in varying operations. Setsuko more than Eleanor.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor Lamb huffs, before she pulls out a 'light'. And by light we mean she flicks her free hand, and the skin there crackles and crisps and start burning. Like actually burning. She doesn't seem to mind the fire though. "Right, well. This place is awful enough already, and I'd rather... hnnn. Give it a once over, see that there's nothing wrong and then we can be on our way home and none the worse, right? Right."
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"What, a spooky abandoned building?" Kyra responds to Setsuko, "You're right, this is the perfect place for a Random Encounter or something nasty. We should be on our guard, then." As she says that, she shifts her position a little so she's behind Dominic.
But to Dominic: "Yeah...not like those Heaven or Hell guys, they're actually kind of funny today." She fiddles with her phone for a moment and what normally functions as a camera flash also turns out doubles as the 'flashlight' app on this particular phone. So not only is she recording everything she moves her phone around at, she's also illuminating the area too.
Then Kyra swings her phone around so she can record the fact that Elanor is apparently on fire. "Does that hurt?"
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
"For what it's worth, I sense no forthcoming battle," Setsuko says as they slip in the door, close behind Dominic. "Which means that either none is forthcoming, or that it's so minor that it escapes even my senses." The fact that Eleanor's hand is on fire doesn't seem to perturb her. "...That might be a good thing, though. In these close confines, I can't use the Zanjintou's full power safely." Not unless she wants to bring the building down around them, anyway.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor smiles over at Kyra. "Pain is a fleeting concept. Also no not really."
The hand, which is apparently burning itself up, doens't stop, and doesn't seem to be actually consuming the flesh from her bones. Looks nastier than it is, maybe?
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
Flashing the various lights around mostly reveals a lot of loose wires coming out of the ceiling. A huge fire hazard-- oh. Well. That might certainly explain that. There's also some plastic debris on the floor, far too mangled by the fire to recognize. Charred, but it was probably a toy.
The hallway ahead turns right, and there's the door on the right halfway to the corner that goes into a side-room. The building is fairly quiet, besides the creaking of the floor where people walk. Doesn't seem like it'll fall on your heads, at least.
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"But it does hurt a little?" Kyra asks curiously, watching the burning hand. Because of her SCIENCE LEARNINGS she can tell that the burn is unnatural and the skin and flesh is not peeling away like it would with actual fire. "Huh. Cool."
As they walk down the hallway, Kyra elects to explore the open room on the right with no door. She first shines her phone/light in before stepping inside.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
Setsuko, meanwhile, decides to reach for the door with her left hand.
Her right has a sword in it. Just in case.
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic looks pretty annoyed at the building that's falling apart, stepping along with Kyra to try to keep up with her. He's just looking around.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor sighs a bit but follows along with the others. Her wrench crusts over with ice as she moves. "Please be careful nad let's make this... not as dangerous."
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
The side room seems to have been an office, given the burnt down desk and trash can. There's a box of toys in a corner, or what's left of one anyway. It's more like the remains of a box with a puddle that must have been a dozen plastic figurines. Most interesting is that the left wall has a large window, surprisingly still intact and only lightly covered by sooth, which peers into the hallway past the corner.
Through the window, one can see a doorway leading into another room. From there, two pinprick glowing white irises stare at the group, evidently belonging to a small shape.
You could break through the window to reach it faster-- leave the room and follow the hallway to it-- or stare back, if you wanted?
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic spots the melted figures and those draw his attention to the point that he doesn't see the white eyes staring at the group. He tilts his head a bit and heads over to the box int he corner, wanting to investigate just WHAT the figurines were before melting, "This is baffling."
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"Anything salvagable in there, Dominic?" Kyra asks, inspecting the rest of the office, her 'loot it like a dungeon' instincts kicking in. It doesn't /seem/ like there's anything worth something in this burnt-out old husk so far. Searching the office, she pokes around the desk before looking up through the window. "...uhhhh."
Kyra lifts her camera/phone at window. "Anyone else see that?"
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor does not like any of this, not even the slightest. It reminds her far too much of Back Home, of the darker, awful places in Rapture, of the little spots where... where her Sisters used to congregate when scared.
A primal little shudder, before the Lieutenant proverbially hoists her big girl shorts and points at the eyes. "Keep an eye on those, Kyra. If they scarper, go through the window if you must." And then she's off like a breeze, chasing down the halls trying to reach the Thing from the other side.
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
The toys are too far gone to tell what they used to be. But Dominic does find something made of metal stuck between two halves of the mass of molten toys: a hook? Yeah that's a hook. The exaggerated hook of a pirate. Unsafely sharp, for something that was in a box of colorful toys.
As Eleanor leaves the room and others no doubt keep eye contact with the eyes, something loud suddenly clatters in the ventilation shaft. Sounds like someone is crawling in there-- AWAY from this room. The implication, unfortunately, is that something was watching.
By the time Eleanor reaches the hallway visible through the window, the eyes in the next room have disappeared. Peering through that door reveals a hallway going left-- a door straight ahead, another that must lead to the same room on the far left wall, and another room to the left.
It is through the far left door that another pair of those eyes watch. This one belongs to a pitch black humanoid figure, barely visible without getting closer-- only visible through the fact it's darker than the ambient, poorly lit rooms right now. Though humanoid, the proportions are wildly off, somewhat bloated.
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
"Looks like toys. A pirate is all I can make out here," He looks over to Kyra, shifting his glance towards where hers goes as she tries to record whatever's in the window. Dominic carefully shoves the box aside and looks deathly serious. The seemingly-normal cane he holds in his other hand is gripped tightly, "This location is greatly suspicious. I would suggest we depart."
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
Kyra does indeed keep eye contact and light from her phone on the eyes. Out of the corner of her own, she watches Eleanor's approach, though not looking forward to the option of leaping through the window to chase after the figure. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that, but-
The loud clattering nearby startles Kyra and she looks away from the figure towards the entrance of the ventillation shaft, her eyes wide. "There was something in the vents that just ran away from us." She backs away to Dominic, grabbing onto him. "Uhhhh...I agree, let's go get Eleanor and get outta here." She practically drags him at this point, leaving the office and rounding the corner after Eleanor.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Fuck you ghost baby, Eleanor is better with vents than you are. The Sister clambers around to face the Figure, not even panting from her run. That hand crisps even hotter, and then the Sister aims her thoughts at a point between herself and that door, igniting the air to cast a further light on th situation. "SHOW YOURSELF."
It is a Mom Voice. A very directed Mom Voice.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
While Eleanor faces the figure down, Setsuko puts her superhuman hearing to work. She intends to follow the sound of whatever is crawling through the vent as far as she can, tracking it either to wherever it might eventually leave the air ducts, or somewhere that she can potentially go up there herself.
(given her frame, the latter is not that likely, but it never hurts to check.)
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
Eleanor shines a light! On... nothing at all.
It's gone too?
Setsuko follows the noise; she treks through the hallway and door, reaching Eleanor. Two doors ahead, one to the left-- while Eleanor saw something in the rooms ahead (which is now gone), Setsuko's hearing puts the vent crawling in the left room. Another pair of eyes watches from within that doorway, another tall humanoid figure with odd, bulky proportions. Is that a hat?
Kyra and Dominic will find the door they took to come into the building slams shut. There's a figure standing by it-- at least, until it gets illuminated, at which point it's gone. Was that a beak?
Might not be a bad idea to regroup.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
As is typical for her, Setsuko takes a few steps ahead without hesitation, meeting the eyes of the strange, staring figure directly. As if to counter the ominousness of the darker-than-dark, eerie figure with white pinpoint eyes, she allows her divine aura to seep out, just a little. A faint, hazy corona of glowing blue fades into view around the swordswoman; she becomes utterly still, simply keeping eye contact, as if in answer to the thing's presence.
'I see you. And if you are hostile, I'm prepared for you.'
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Bother. Bother and damn it. She was going to get all messy.
Eleanor taps Satsuko on the shoulder, drops her satchel, and then, like a light is up and into the vents herself. There's a squeak as she puffs at the dust, and then she's crawling/scooting after whatever it is up inside of there.
"DON'T THINK I CAN'T MOVE FASTER THAN YOU!"
She hopes she's right, she's bigger than she used to be.
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
This is going to be some...pretty interesting footage later since Kyra's phone is still recording as they're swinging around and examining this place. As was the case with the other loud noises, Kyra immediately looks in the direction of the door slamming, shining her light down the hall to where it happened moments later to a shut door.
"Shit, I think this place is haunted. And us with no necromancer..." Kyra mutters, turning away from the door, "I guess there's always banish. C'mon, let's rejoin the others-!" Kyra moves with quickness, moving down the hall and coming upon Setsuko just as she starts to summon her battle corona and just as Eleanor scrambles into the vents.
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic takes a more protective stance, hovering around near Kyra as best he can. He was lacking his normal sword for the hostility this time around, and looked more nervous because of it. The door slamming causes him to narrow his eyes, "I don't have any moves of great efficacy, simply my normal roster of abilities."
He follows close after her, trailing along while she tries to find the others.
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
The noises in the vent stop; and the figures, they're gone. They provide no answers-- they say nothing, and they make not the tiniest noise. Though visually there, sharpened senses could have likened them to illusions, most likely.
Eleanor finds dents in the vents, like something heavy crawled through, violently, and fast. The tracks stop in the same room Setsuko is looking into, where the last figure was.
Nothing stops Kyra and Dominic from regrouping.
The room is a long hallway, with yet another doorway at the end. On the ground is a cassette player, with a radio. If people turn it on, it plays the call from earlier again. Evidently, people are meant to be in this room.
But after the call ends, there's music. A gentle tune, right out of a music box, recorded after the call, as such:
http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=CBtivlJhQL0
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
The figure is gone. Setsuko's aura fades again, and her stance relaxes just faintly. Something playing tricks on their senses, then. The swordswoman comes to a decision, and closes her eyes entirely; her attention goes instead to her superhuman senses of hearing, touch and smell, letting them see for her without the tricks that light can play. She also begins paying more heed to her supernatural sense, in case there's anything it can pick up. Dim though it may be, it's better than nothing.
Perhaps Kyra, Eleanor and Dominic might think it odd that she comes up alongside them at the cassette player with her eyes closed, but it doesn't hinder her in the least. "...I don't recognize this song. We were led here, but why?"
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"Uh...were you able to actually catch those things watching us?" Kyra asks, observing how wound up Setsuko is right now. "We saw something close the front door but there was nothing there. But the door's definitely closed." She realizes they didn't check it to see if it was locked or not-it wouldn't matter to Kyra, actually because if they needed an exit she would MAKE one.
She's quiet as she listens to the tape play, frowning, "I'm pretty sure that was the same call from earlier though. Why? I'm still betting it's an April Fool's prank." She switches the phone's camera to selfie mode so she can record herself talking for a second with the music playing in the background, "Yep, we totally got punked for April Fools."
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic grips the cane in his hand all the tighter, unsheathing a sword from it just a little and ready to strike if need be, "I do not like this current situation. I feel as if the best option would be to make the most expedient exit from this location possible." He firmly states.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor pops out of the vent, huffing and puffing, covered in dust. She's also fuming mad. It's a good wy to cover unease. "Bother all of this, let's go I am... not in the mood for any of this in the slightest." Puff huff.
Far too much like home far far too much. Eleanor's bluster is not doing a good job.
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
As everyone idles in the room, five presences suddenly flare up-- the corners of the room darken, and pinprick white eyes stare. And then... everything goes dark!
~~OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE~~
The four of you come to in a large lobby. You seem much shorter-- looking at one another reveals that you are spirits, probably children. At the far end of the room, there's a stage, and a doorway leading left.
You can tell that you're dead-- not you, but whoever this person is whose role you are currently playing. This is merely a vision, and you'd be certain your real body is completely fine right now. You're angry. Vengeful. Confused. You don't even know where your body is.
You see a shape cross into the door leading to the left. It seems in a hurry. There are mechanical parts on the floor here and there, but you lack the ability to pick them up to examine them.
The lobby is otherwise deserted. It looks neglected. There are tables with rotten food on them and party hats.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
The spirit that is Setsuko almost immediately turns to lunge after the shape going into the door to the left.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
NO NO NO NO NO
And then Eleanor is dead and she's twitching. "THIS IS LESS THAN OPTIMAL." She's insubstantial though, and not enjoying it. She gets her not-feet under her, and follows after Setsuko.
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic is unsure what he should be doing, and so wanting to keep with the group, he floats after Setsuko and Eleanor in a lost sort-of fashion. This has been a very confusing night for him.
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
Later Kyra's footage would show little white pinpricks behind her before the recording mysteriously errors out in a fantastic splash of tiny, tiny moogles.
A confused noise escapes Kyra as she gets a sense of this feeling of being /dead/ and much smaller. "Oh Diabolos what the hell is going on-" she mutters, staring at the spirits around her before she sees a flicker of movement.
Mindlessly and furiously, she follows after the figure that Setsuko is chasing.
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
People chase the figure.
He goes through a few halls and doorways; nothing complicated, and fairly trivial to follow. He reeks of blood. The closer you get to him, the more you can smell it. Maybe it's the vengeful spirit schtick bleeding through, but this man feels like your killer and you want to shred him.
Eventually you reach a dead end; a small room, with boxes and boxes of spare parts. Mascot suits, metal skeleton parts. There's a bright yellow one laid out against a wall, slumped down. Looks like a rabbit, and looks hollow too.
"I killed you! I KILLED YOU GO AWAY!" panics the man in a purple security guard suit, with a shining golden badge. He flails about from one end of the room to the rabbit suit. "W-Wait! That's right! You can't come near these things! YOU CAN'T! HAHA!"
He slips into the rabbit suit. This seems to have an averse effect on the spirits-- as if it made the killer completely invisible. But then he stands-- and laughs through the mascot head.
"HAHAHA! YOU CAN'T!"
There's a horrible crunching noise, and then slicing noises. Springloaded mechanisms inside the suit all suddenly unwind, and the killer slumps down, twitching, blood gushing everywhere out of the suit.
~~ BACK TO YOUR BODIES ~~
Nothing new has happened in the room. The cassette player is turned back off, though.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
NOPE. Nope. Eleanor staggers back to herslef, and is not dead and is not being haunted by a purple man in a suit or anything like that and she-
A look at the room and down at the tape player. She sucks in a breath and thinks REALLY HARD at the tape player, lashing out with a TK blast at it. Then she is gathering up her stuff and muttering. "Leaving now."
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
It's easy, Kyra realizes, very, very easy to get caught up in the rage of the dead. The alien feelings invade her and she can't help but respond because what is more ENRAGING than a killer of CHILDREN.
(Was this what Tira felt...?)
She takes no issue in cornering the man in purple, chasing him around the room until he climbs into the anamatronic, spring-loaded rabbit suit. A hiss of frustration follows as the strangely silly object somehow /prevents/ the spirits from moving upon the man even though she knows he's inside that thing. Then, somehow, the suit massacres the man.
When Kyra comes to, she's smiling, tears clinging to the corners of her eyes, her entire body shaking from the experience. "....yeah." she breathes out, "Let's get out of here."
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic is a man known for his generally stoic nature. Which means that for all the confusion and disdain he feels for the situation, he'll swallow it. This is useful, because it gives him a good antacid to numb the feeling of disgust at having watched a man, even a murderer, die like that.
When he finishes rousing, he shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath. His hand goes out to Kyra, willing to be the stoic-looking one for the moment so she can have her moment of strange weakness. His own feelings will be buried in work or come up later.
He takes Kyra's hand and squeezes it, "I agree. We should leave," He notes numbly.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
Upon returning to her body, Setsuko stumbles just a little, then straightens up, her expression calm as everyone votes to leave. She opts to take the fore of the group in doing so, but also speaks as she does.
"...This place is home to too much malice. Vengeful spirits trapped here in their grief. Would anyone have any objections to my bringing it down after we..." Her voice trails off, her body goes still mid step...
...and the swordswoman's katana clears its sheath almost too fast to see. "...we're probably going to have to fight our way out," she declares, both hands on the grip.
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
Eleanor obliterates the tape player.
As others get ready to leave, a figure stands in the door, barring their exit. The decrepit, damaged rabbit suit, and an impending feeling of battle for Setsuko. Worn away by god knows how many years, the once bright yellow mascot is almost a sickly green, the fabric rotten in many places, in just the right way that the suit's exposed teeth form a grin. The joints are exposed, with many bits and pieces of a human body mingled in with the wires and the endoskeleton underneath.
More unsettling is the fact glowing eyes-- HUMAN eyes-- peer through the sockets of the hybrid animatronic suit. Maybe that is why they were lured here, to finish the job.
'Springtrap' lunges for Eleanor. It's fairly fast and strong, but likely not as much as the people it's trying to prey on right now. Not that it would know better.
As it does so it lets loose a piercing, chilling cry, a mix of a mechanical sound and the screaming of a child.
- Eleanor Lamb (40) has posed:
Eleanor Lamb... stands her ground. She snarls and holds up her hand, the flaming one, and braces for impact. There's something vital and deep in the stance, and she hisses. "You are not going to harm ANYONE ELSE."
Granted, it might not be her stopping the Thing here and now depending on how this turns out, but she has faith in her allies.
- Dominic Masoch (655) has posed:
Dominic scowls as the figure bars their exit. His rage is echoed by Eleanor, while he reflects it quietly and more mildly. He takes the cane in his hand and then says, "I have had quite enough of this."
He doesn't want to release Kyra's hand, so the one holding the cane flips it and grabs the tip. Then he swipes to the side, the sword concealed within disengaged from its locked position. It's a thin blade, like a rapier.
Fencing > Checkmate
No ceremony or pomp and circumstance to the move. The thin blade glows black-red with energy and he thrusts it square into the animatronic's chest.
STATUS INFLICT: Doom
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
With the forewarning of her battlesense, Setsuko is already prepared.
Whatever horror might have produced this monstrosity, whatever hideous, spiteful grudge might animate it, it still moves sluggishly to her eyes. She is prepared to bring down Zanjintou, a divine blade more than sufficient to the task of ending such a thing - but Dominic's fencing beats her for sheer speed, and she holds her strike.
If it looks as if the thing will survive, though, she will launch her attack in a heartbeat.
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"You mean blowing up the entire building?" Kyra says, a sort of distant quality to her voice now as she returns the squeeze. Her other hand tightens around her phone as if that had formed her other lifeline back to reality at the moment. "I would be okay with doing that. Blowing the place up."
Setsuko gives her warning which Kyra is only now realizing the nature of, moments before they spot the ancient version of the rabbit suit that they saw in their shared hallucination. Kyra shrieks, half in fear, and half in rage.
A few words are muttered under her breath as she slips her phone into her pocket at last. White magic flows through her free hand which is directed at the pouncing anamatronic. Single target magic, and of this nature no less, had no chance of not hitting its intended victim as the lesser holy spell hones in on the malevolent force.
"Banish!"
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
Springtrap slams into Eleanor; the flames damage but don't set the suit ablaze outright. It attempts to push, but can't overpower her. Dominic's blade pierces the chest; Doom starts ticking. Quickly, the suit starts deteriorating even further. The upper half of the head falls off to reveal the mummified head of the killer, with metal large amounts of metal in it, evidently from when the suit's mechanisms were released. And then Kyra banishes it, just as the Doom counter finishes ticking down.
Just like that, the suit falls down, lifeless, badly damaged. If there was some sort of spirit in it, it's gone now. There's nothing but an extremely old, badly damaged animatronic suit with a corpse inside.
The malice of the building seems to dissipate with that. If people turn around, they will see four heads on the ground-- the pristine animatronic heads of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy (bear, purple rabbit, chicken and red fox). There's a small light in each of them, which flickers off.
- Setsuko Kaminagi (255) has posed:
Setsuko relaxes her stance only slightly when Springtrap goes down at last, taking slow breaths and extending her senses to their very limits. "...not quite," she finally responds to Kyra.
Zanjintou whips up and to her right, then down and to her right, then low, straight and to her left, three quick cuts. They form a tall triangle, and every slice unleashes an arc of divine blue power that cuts just as sharply as her sword itself - and will keep on going through several walls. The demigod plans to simply cut them a 'hallway' all the way out onto the street with just those three cuts, and then lead the way in slamming right through the pieces she's cut free of the wall.

Eleanor falls to the ground once the Thing is dead and gone and 'exorcised'...
And then she's got to get up and look those masks in the face and she just can't. She was that mask, she was that thing she was was was.
Eleanor shuffles to her feet.
"Someone please make a call to the fire department, there appears to be a gas leak in this building."
- Kyra Hyral (626) has posed:
"/Undead son of a bitch/." Kyra growls quietly from her vantage point, watching and feeling as the malevolence seems to leave the building as the murderer is destroyed. She watches the suit, reaching for her gun slowly, ready to double tap just in case.
Kyra does get one of those feelings and turns around, watching as the lights left in the head fade away. She stares at them in silence for a few seconds, smiling sadly.
"...ahhh, that's what you mean." she says to Setsuko, "Great idea."
- Homura Akemi (2) has posed:
It will be insanely trivial to cut a way out of this burnt and damaged building. The animatronic heads, if people want to take them, are completely safe and hollow. Not haunted or cursed, either. Keepsakes, mostly. As far as the symbolism goes, one can assume you put those children to rest.
Torching the place is also easy.
The firemen won't be too long.
If people stick around to question them, they'll find out that this placed used to be called Freddy's Fright. It was a haunted house attraction, based on the animatronic scandals of a popular restaurant chain a decade or two ago. Something about missing children and a killer, lots of freaky ghost stories. Place burned down before it even opened though.
