Good. She'll make that happen.

The balcony: falls. Along with the water, and she was presumably being careful while destroying it and therefore didn't fall down with it.

It hits a couple of things on its way down.

Probably not important things. Any floors above this one?

One more, but it's also empty, and then it's just the roof.

Does she want to go onto the roof? There are ominous noises coming from the stairwell.

The roof can wait. Back down to the others, for now.

"Hey," says Maya. "Find anything?"

Blue seems to be missing.

"Nothing of note. The upper floors appear to be secure."

Nod. "Any ideas for what to do now? Since I'd rather not wait for them to come attack us – uh, possibly I should try taking us across the street to another building and hopefully not get killed in the rain?"

"Where'd Blue go?"

"He–" starts Maya, then she frowns.

"He was here just a few minutes ago?" says Thario.

"And you didn't see him go anywhere?"

"No," she says. "Which is freaking wonderful because it means that this place is screwing with my head."

Thario is looking around for sign of Blue.

How do you just lose a person?

Can she feel him anywhere nearby?

Nope.

Well, unless he's part of those few lifeforms a floor below them, or in the stairwell, except– wait, no, those are the water creatures.

There are quite a few of them.

"People have been known to disappear suddenly and without warning. We should move up, get a better angle to jump out from."

"Right, but then I would have noticed him disappear. Anyway, yes, upstairs."

Stair climbing time. Elleira thinks they should go all the way to the roof, so she doesn't stop.

Well, she will again hear the ominous sloshing noises.

Also it's probably still raining. What with the noise that sounds suspiciously like really heavy rain.

Thario goes with them.

What's roof access like?

Stairwell to what appears to be an emergency exit door onto the roof.

They can't actually see what's on the roof from inside the building, but after going through the door they will be right on the roof.

The sloshing noises continue slightly ominously.

Elleira opens the door but doesn't step through.

There is water on the roof. There is quite a lot of water. The water is moving in small undulations, like small waves are going across the roof, and there is– really quite a lot of rain.

And a moment after she opens the door, the water starts to move in her direction.
