She was already off like a shot, clambering over shattered wheelchairs and scaling impromptu barricades.

"One...two...three..."
He interspersed his counting with numbers in Spanish, for the hell of it, and because he was bored said "ten" in French. After that, he turned and started sprinting through the dungeon.
((Vampire tag. We are awesome.))

What a place this was. First off, it was filthy, but the sheer variety of new textures against her feet and hands, leather one moment and rusty nails the next, the stale air heavy against her face, was maddening. So their special powers weren't just for running really fast or fucking people in the head. And there were lots of good hiding places, but if they were obvious to her they must have been to Daniel, too -- so no hiding. She shimmied up the ragged, mildewed rope of a dumbwaiter that had had its door torn off -- let's see Daniel follow her up there -- and emerged... somewhere else? Up, around, east, west, diagonally of where she'd started.

What the hell had they been doing in this place? He knew about the asylum, and supposed torture chambers, but this was more than that. It almost seemed like the old building had been built on top of the ruins of something else--a rather interesting thought, that.
He slowed, sensing the other's presence going...up? Hmm. He stopped altogether, deciding. Perhaps, if he cut across this way, it might bring him back to...yes. There were some stairs, here...

She jimmied the lock on a door -- not that there was much of one, deadbolt was what they called that-- and sang Daniel's name as she kicked the door down. Her own senses were less adept for finding her fellow Dead guys, but just let him come after her.

"Ohhhh, my dear." He called out in a singsong.
"Wherever could you be..."
She was...that way. To the right. He turned without skipping a beat, hearing a door not far off.
((If it weren't for the fact that Jenks is a vamp that can take care of herself, I'd swear this was a set-up from a slasher movie))

(( This is still a recipe for nothing good, though. *g* Sorry for the delay in replying, gahh! ))
What kind of headcase was this place designed for, anyway? What had seemed from the outside like a proper room was, from the inside, hardly a room at all -- it'd been gutted by the fire probably, there was barely enough of a floor to stand on and the walls were cinders. Too bad for whoever'd been cooped up in here. She managed to get a decent finger-hold in the charred walls -- charred something that fell away when she dug into it -- and began to climb.

((Ha! And don't worry about it. Daniel's flexible.))
He was very close now.
"Where, oh where, has little baby Jenks gone." He called out in a singsong.

Her laughter rattled off the walls, dispersed by the drafty architecture like a lazy ventriloquist's.
"Danny-boy!"

"...up?"
He wove through the ruins, attempting to pinpoint which "up" that was.
"You don't have trouble navigating through here. Are you sure you've never been before?"

"Maybe it's got ghosts!"
She did throw her voice now, making better use of the echo to send her piping voice ricocheting around corners -- not that Daniel was down there getting fooled, but it was more fun than it ought to be.

"Now that would be something...I've seen a lot of things here," he said as he climbed, "but no ghosts."
Suddenly, he swing around from out of a hole in the wall that had been masked by thick spiderwebs, giving her a grin.
"Hello."

Jenks cocked her head, one tight braid falling loose jauntily.
"Wouldn't put it past this place. It's just like a bad drive-in movie in here."

"You know," he said, thoughtfully, "I've seen a lot of things in this city, but not ghosts. It's almost strange that there aren't any."

Baby Jenks lunged toward him, joyous and spiderlike, losing her grip on her perch.
"What's a ghost gonna do to me, anyway? Walk right through me?"
