Frost parted in droves as the three metal angels heeled to gravity, landing in white gold meteoric decent upon the pathway beneath the giant duck that sat as decrepit capitalist god of the old order. J would of been enamoured had she seen its past instead of the present, the girl giving a distrustful glance up to the mascot of the mega mall they were a few paces away from the entrance as its massive rounded yellow form stat atop its pillar to their left. Its sermon attended by the skeletal mass now drowned in styx flood of snow, perhaps it would of evoked something more then concern for safety had the trio seen anything other then the holes in its hide and heard anything other then in whine from the shockwaves of their landing. The duck staring south with eyes that had been soundly discoloured or removed over the years while its mohawk stood with the top half shaved off and melted slightly due to some event in the fiery years now past.
"The fact that as JCJenson's name on the plaque is disgraceful, true JCJenson warrantied products would of weathered this much better then this thing has, its why they are to be trusted. We're JCJenson's products, we survive and do what were made for and that makes us worth it. There is no other way, decay such as this is disgraceful and the sooner im away from it the better.". J thought, the girl already taking lead for a few seconds and prowling with one sword out towards the shattered glass doorways into the white tiled mall, her spare hand looping the chain still attached to her neck around her left arm to stop it from dragging on the ground and creating a horrid noise. N and Rebecca following her up before the latter levitated with her wings past both of them and landed right in front of the doorway so she could actually fit inside, the two yellow eyed drones surprising each other by sharing a glance to check the other's reaction.
"Why'd i do that? Its not like i should of, where's that poker face of yours gone Serial Designation J? Don't fuck up now or corporate will be demoting you along with disposing assets like him.". J huffed to herself and glanced away from N, the girl checking their surroundings briefly as the storms winds blew stronger and her pigtails flapped like defeated battle stands. Too messy for someone who held herself as she did, yet going without a care as the weather finally gave in to the idea of snowing.
"Why'd she do that? Actually look like she cared for once, well, she does. Right, maybe... Just put it away for now N, there's a mall to get through and a tunnel to walk through. Then I can talk to her.". N herded the two inside and brushed off his coat's shoulders and head, his tail flicking side to side slowly. The drone confused for an instant before his mind was snatched away by the appearance of the inside of the place, not that he hadn't seen it before but it was always a marvel to see just how much broken glass a building could fit.
"Has loneliness finally gotten to her or am I going insane... what if its a psyop or something, trying to make me let her off the hook by actually interacting with me? Not that she didn't before, well, usually it was just orders but that. That was weird.". N continued to think while he himself took a glance up at the duck, faint recollection stirring within him at its damages yet nothing concrete surfacing. Files probably damaged by age, or straight up damage.
"This looks like V lived here, am I right or am I right.". Rebecca toned up brashly, standing in front of the other two with both hands on her burn mark graced hips while surveying over the trashed mall innards and the stores to either side of them having their garage like doors slammed down. The four stores that they could see in the dark before the main hall they were in took a right and a left due to an intersection that was just as trashed as the entrance was all indistinguishable due to their branding having been worn, oil coated, removed from or after the collapse, missing or utterly vandalised by graffiti or violence. Which was minority annoying for any of the three that were considering looking around for something to take from the place, N already flicking out a flashlight from his left hand as he looked forward.
