Kuja's Desert Palace, for Telrim and Regulus

[3rdangel]

They'll arrive in a rather richly decorated bedroom. The top sheets and the pillow coverings have already been stripped from the large four-poster bed, with reason that it was quicker than trying to clean up the layer of dust under the circumstances. The discarded bedding is in a pile on the floor for now

Telrim gives a grunt of agreement as she helps shift their burden toward the bed. She manages to steal a few glances around herself along the way. "Good idea."

You'd want to be careful of casual callers, there's no telling what intentions they might have- oh wait. Well, at least she has the grace to keep her motives ulterior.

Once the unconscious boy has been deposited on the bed - Kuja, it seems, had a thing for silk sheets - Mikoto will start to head for the door. "The lab is two rooms over, but lacked a reasonable place to keep the subject. Kuja sealed off one of the specimen rooms. I can only hypothesize he was working on another project before his death." She has no intention of unsealing that room for now. Whatever was in it is most likely dead.

"The scanning and treatment equipment is portable. I will retrieve it. Do you wish to see the lab or monitor the subject?"

Mikoto has some understanding of ulterior motives. In fact, she distrusts altruism and fully expects Telrim has her own reasons for assisting. It doesn't bother her in the least, as long as it doesn't become a threat to her. And, in that case, she's secure in her ability to defend herself. She knows, though, that being taken by surprise or suddenly outnumbered can make a great difference.

Once he's down Telrim straightens up and takes a proper look around. She notes the objects, the architecture, the colours... although what she primarily notices about them is their dustiness. The playbook catches her eye just before Mikoto speaks.

Telrim follows her to the door as she replies. "If it'll only take a few minutes, I should probably take a look at the lab. So I'll know where things are if we have to find them in a hurry."

She pauses then. "...'Subject'?"

The main color of the building itself seems to be dark wood and silvery metal, the latter with patterns that seem to be just below the surface. At first glance it would look old fashioned, at second futuristic with a veneer of being old fashioned. Surprisingly, this manages to look slightly less anachronistic than a renaissance faire held in a space station. The decorations tend towards whites, silvers, blues, and a surprising amount of lavender, often in rich fabrics. Kuja was rather hedonistic
