[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.

Junpei half-wondered if he'd been dropped into the set of a low budget horror flick. Okay, maybe it was high budget. Either way, it was creepy as hell, considering it looked like seamstress had tried her hand at architecture. Why had he told Shito not to tag along again?

... Oh wait, because he wanted to keep his balls, not carry them in a handbag.

As he walked up to the front door, he definitely tried to ignore all the noises and deranged scenery around him. That was, until he nearly stepped on said freakish mouse. He glanced down in time to see the odd creature scurry out of the way of his foot, and let out a high pitched yelp.

... Hopefully, no one heard or saw that part.

Nearly breaking into a run, the teen hurried to the front door and knocked lightly. Death City, huh? It was an appropriate name.
