[RL with Junpei]

[screwloose]

Stein's laboratory was...impressive, and rather creepy. It was an oddly-shaped building, like several huge stone boxes all jumbled together with small windows. The largest part was shaped like an arrow, thrusting upwards towards the sky. Lines of what looked like stitching crawled across the face of the building, each 'stitch' at least a foot long.

The building was surrounded by a wrought-iron fence, the top a forest of points, and there were several scraggly trees planted around the grounds. The trees were devoid of leaves, and each branch ended in an arrowpoint.

A whirring sound could be heard by Junpei's foot and he might look down to see a mouse scuttling by, but the mouse looked and sounded mechanical, its skin formed of random patches of fabric all stitched together roughly.

Welcome to Dr. Franken Stein's Laboratory.

"They were these giant Shadows that showed up whenever there was a full moon. Ikutsuki-san told us if we took'em out, that the Dark Hour would go away."

The mention of the Chairman made him frown, though he wasn't sure why. He vaguely remembered him being around the dorm, but he'd died in an accident, hadn't he? Or so he'd heard around the school - yet for some reason, that didn't seem to sit right with him.

"But... he was... Ikutsuki-san used us. He was trying to call Nyx, so he told us to fight the Great Shadows, and when the Dark Hour didn't disappear, we went after him... But it was too late to do anything about it."
