Episode 1 Act 5: Chaos Den
The walls seam to be made of a bare metal in riveted panels, half the rivets gone with some of the panels half falling off or missing entirely. The whole room seams to be at an odd angle and looks about to collapse. A couch, looks like something found on the side of the road someplace, rests against one wall across from a single rag of cloth which covers the only, missing, window which has an odd elongated oval shape. Trees can be seen outside the window. There are 2 doors at either end of the room with another heavy cloth covering a gaping hole in the wall leading outside, next to the window. Krahazik steps out of a shadow in the room and places Hotaru on the beat up couch. This is Krahazik's living room. He plants him self in a chair and watch her sleep thinking. She mumbles in her sleep and turns onto her side, her back facing Krahazik. Soon he nods off to sleep while thinking, lounging in the chair.
A couple of hours pass and Hotaru wakes up. When she is able to look around herself, she screams. It echoes threw the room and beyond.
Krahazik jerks awake causing the rickety chair to collapse dropping him to the floor. He shakes head. "What the?" he exclaims rubbing is right ear. "Ouch." A ceiling panel comes loose from the scream and drops to the floor with a bit of racket. He winces at the noise. "Too early in the day for getting up."
"What am I doing here?" Hotaru asks, shakily.
He glances at Hotaru from the floor, only half awake. "Sleeping?"
"Why'd you take me here?" she demanded.
He begins crawling toward one end of the room with a pair of double doors. "Figured the couch was better than the gutter you were sleeping in. Wake me when the sun sets."
"You expect me to stay here?" Hotaru asked, surprised.
Krahazik pushes the double doors apart enough to slide in and craws between the doors. "Nope" He answers as he disappears threw the doors. He craws onto his makeshift bunk and curls up to sleep some more.
"Well, good." Hotaru walks to what she assumed led outside. She pushes the curtain apart and looks out. Behind the curtain is a gaping hole in the wall. Looking beyond it looks like a whole section is missing. To the left the wall extends beyond past where window hole to a tapering nose of what looks like the front of a ship, or what's left of one. The wall extends into the ground and above the hole to a rounded top. To the left are yet more walls and the remains of strange equipment and debris. Trees have fallen down and covered what looks like a short slide trail beyond. The back of the ship disappears into the ground. The whole area is surrounded by a thick forest. Rays of sunlight stream in threw the trees overhead. As she looks around she is reminded of a news report a month ago of a meteor strike that was never cleared up. The story just seamed to get dropped. The strike was supposedly in the forest south of the city. The edge of the forest being a good 8 miles from the city border. Hotaru backed away and decided to check the door opposite to the one Krahazik entered. The doors are bit stiff and have to be forced open. Beyond is an empty room in a shambles with boxes strew about haphazardly. To the right is a hole in the floor with a ladder leading down into the dirt, the rest of it ripped away in the slide. The back of the room is collapsed. There are large panels on the side walls. On the wall to the left one panel hands down and open revealing sunlight and what's left of the equipment behind that panel which she saw from outside. The walls and panels are littered with red and yellow labels in a text she does not recognize from any where. Giving up she knocks on Krahazik's door. "Krahazik, how do I get out?" Krahazik is fast asleep and does not respond. Hotaru felt tears prick her eyes but she held them back. She sighs and lies back down on the couch, deciding that if she did, she'd wake up at the park. She usually went to bed there because her father had changed drastically.
