Character(s): Rikku, Rakka, anybody else want in?
Content: Rikku and Rakka go searching for a hideout.
Setting: H6-ish somewhere
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: none

Once they got a ways from the main road, the foot traffic became a lot more sparse than the bustling crowds up around the train station. That was good, of course. After all, what kind of hideout would it be if people kept stumbling over it all the time? Something convenient but still out of the way was your best bet, pretty much. And naturally it had to be unoccupied, and it'd be nice if it was already clean so they didn't have to fix it up...

Well, let it not be said that she didn't have standards.

Rikku floated along the sidewalk a little ahead of Rakka, looking around for a suitable place; it probably would have been easier later in the day, when people would have lights on, but she didn't really feel like waiting that long. As it was, she peeked discreetly through just about every window she flew past, and found most of the windows occupied - enough to assume the ones connected to them were occupied, too, at least. "C'mon, there can't be people living in all these houses," she huffed after a while.

Rakka smiled at the idea of houses popping up like mushrooms. It really would be convenient. The thought was derailed as Rikku pointed out a house. Rakka hurried over to peer into the window alongside the little fairy.

Rakka had a similar view of places as Rikku, having lived previously in an abandoned boarding school. A little cleanup and some decorations and it would be very nice. She smiled.

"I like it," she said. "Let's go in and look around!"

"Yeah!" That was the spirit! Rikku bolted around to the front door, pulling down on the door handle with her full weight and then some. It was unlocked, at least (wasn't that lucky!), and gave without too much trouble; she pushed it open just enough to slip through into the foyer, waiting for Rakka to follow before she proceeded on through the open entryway that led into the room attached to the window they'd been at a moment before.

In here, she flitted from one nook or corner to the next, inspecting the place more completely. It was even still furnished, although some of said furnishings were in better states of repair than others, but with a little bit of elbow grease-

She stopped at a look under the couch, though; it took her a few seconds to realize what exactly she was looking at down there, but when she did, she jerked back and away from it with a gasp. There was already something living in this house, seemed like, and it was furry and glowing and a lot bigger than she was.
