OUtside the Arms Hotel, Wednsday Afternoon

"Ernest I'm not sure this is a good idea." Clark cautioned his maintenance man. Ernest had built a huge vacuum in an attempt to get all the fallen leaves off the lawn in one fell swoop.

Never one to fear his own inventions, Ernest flipped the switch.

Clark facepalmed as the vacuum sucked up all the leaves, and Ernest, before shorting out and shutting down.

Rosette and Chrono were walking by, maps out and being observed, Rosette babbling.

"Now, this is one of the larger buildings in the town itself," she was saying, making a few things up, probably, "and one of the oldest I imagine, too. It could either be the perfect spot to find what we're looking for, Chrono, or it's the perfect thing to lead us off the right track. So we have to be careful."

They paused in front of the hotel; Rosette considered the large contraption just before it shut down. She looked at her map. "I don't think that's on here..." She traced her fingers around the area of the hotel.

Clark looked over at Rosette and her companion. "No, no that's a new addition." he confirmed.

Muffled shouting came from the bag attatched to the vacuum.

Rosette scratched the back of her head through her veil. "He gonna be okay, Clark?"

Ernest had proven capable of surviving things that would have killed most people, he was like a cartoon charector that way. Still, that bag was possibly air tight.

"I hope so." Clark said, attempting to remove the bag from the vacuum. That didn't work, so, feeling a sudden surge of strength, he ripped the bag open, spilling a mass of leaves and Ernest onto the lawn.

Ernest spit out a mouthfull of leaves, and gave a slightly embaressed laugh.

Rosette threw up her arms excitedly, map flapping slightly in the wind. "He lives! Woooo!"

Clark smiled at her enthusiasm and helps Ernest to his feet. "Maybe you should stick to the old fashioned way of clearing leaves for a while." Then he turned to Rosette. "Hi!"

Rosette chuckled a little. "Hello! How are you today?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"I am doing well." he said. "What are you up to?"

[nun-better.livejournal.com]

"Why, Clark, whatever makes you think I'm up to something?" She flashed him an innocent look, followed by a not-so-innocent grin.

Clark chuckled. "Journalists instinct." he said. "Is this about a certain map?"

"Mayyyyybe," Rosette shrugged.

Clark laughed. "Find any clues?"
