Characters: The Egg Parents Gamma (Raven, Mako, and Arthur Curry)
Date: ...Idk mid-landfall-ish
Location: In the city
Situation: Three strangers come across a rather massive turtle egg by chance and find it's still viable. And it's chosen them to be its caretakers.
Warnings/Rating: None, it's turtle parenting.

[The city is vast, and Arthur isn't entirely sure if he'll be able to explore it all in the time they'll be here (which he doesn't know, Asti could be departing tomorrow for all he really does know), but he's giving it a try. The architecture is somewhat familiar in style, looking a bit Greek, a bit Atlantean, and he's comfortable wandering around it, trident on his back, orange scales on his shirt looking warmer in the glow of the lanterns.

It's a large building that catches his attention; maybe it was someone's home, maybe it was something else, but suddenly he has the urge to look inside, like a tingling at the back of his brain, the edge of his consciousness, tugging. It's not something he can ignore, because after all, he's telepathic, creatures reach out to his mind every day.

He's making his way to the crumbling stone door, stuck in the frame, to try and move it, unaware that he isn't the only person in the area.]

[ Raven has been meticulously sweeping the city, also searching to pinpoint the telepathic prickle at the edges of her mind. It wasn't unwelcome in feeling but she was not used to something so gentle coming up against her mental shields. She materialized out of a black portal near where Arthur was trying to budge the door. ]

Is there something in there?

[browbeater]

[He'd been wandering around the area for awhile. It was kind of cool to see something different, and he wasn't sure when the chance was going to happen again. So he was going to take advantage of it as much as possible in the meantime. What he wasn't counting on was the gentle tugs to go this direction...

And then that direction.

While he ignored them most of the time, sometimes he ended up taking them. Just to see where he'd end up. So, he was a bit surprised to see two others there, trying to go the same place that he was.]

Hey... You guys need some help moving the door?

[relentlesstide]

[He's looking for weak points in the massive stone door (the size of it seems odd, why would it be so large?) when one by one two others show up. He's a little surprised, because he hadn't sensed either of them coming with his mind occupied with the growing telepathic tug.

Arthur thinks he vaguely recognizes the girl. Had she been with the Titans? Not at the same time as Garth though, so maybe not. The boy he definitely doesn't recognize, and he thinks about it for a brief moment before he relents.] I think so. It feels like something inside is reaching out.

[A nod at Mako.] Sure. I don't want to just knock it down in case someone is inside.

[zinthosmantra]

[ Raven scans the building, looking for any obvious structural abnormalities in the door area, nodding first at Mako and then turning to Arthur. ]

I can pull it outward, or just phase through it.

[browbeater]

[probably a better plan than trying to pull it down, as far as structural integrity is concerned. Besides, now that he was there, he kind of wanted to see what was behind this door. Which made absolutely no sense, and he knew it made absolutely no sense.]

Pulling it outward's probably gonna be the best bet.

[relentlesstide]

[Arthur can't explain either, but now that he's here, he can't just leave without checking out the inside of this building. Something's there, something... something he doesn't want to miss.

He nods thoughtfully, stepping back to eye the building structure.] Probably that, yeah. Go slow, I can hold back anything that starts to sag.

wow thanks for not sending me this notif DW even though I tracked the post

[zinthosmantra]

[ Raven nods curtly, holding her hands out towards the door. ]

Azarath Metrion Zinoths.

[ Black energy envelops the door and she draws it back. For a moment it looks as though it wont' budge and then with a squeal of metal it begins to pull loose. ]

[browbeater]

[well. That was one way to handle the problem-- for now he's watching the structural integrity, just like Arthur. He isn't keen on being squished, even if the building looked otherwise fine.

Looks could be deceptive.]

[relentlesstide]

[With the both of them watching the frame and the walls for any potential signs of collapse, and the door steadily wedging out, it should go fine. The farther it's out, the stronger he can feel the mental call, something vague, with no real words to it, and he frowns intently into the dim building. Built strong, sturdy, even after all this time...]

It was supposed to protect something, wasn't it?

sorry sorry

[zinthosmantra]

[ With one final tug, Raven wrenches the door free of its hinges, floats it with both hands guiding the trajectory to set it gently down on the ground before the black energy seems to evaporate off it. ]

Yes. There are... they're not wards, but there was something here. It's weakened quite a lot.

[browbeater]

[he watched the door float away and then frowned as he looked into the dark room. He could at least use his firebending to get a better idea of what was inside from out here. He leans over the threshhold.]

... Woah.

[he could see it, back a little bit, but that was definitely... an egg? And it was definitely what had been calling to him.]
