* Maria sneaks. Sneakitysneaksneak. [Where is Maria sneaking to?] ( One of the windows. ) ( Preferably one of the office windows, if there are any. ) ( Nope. Just on either side of the warehouse. ) * Maria peaks through one of those windows, then. Is the moon out tonight? [Sure is. Inside is a warehouse! There's those 12-foot tall red and blue crates arranged in a nearly maze like pattern. Sometimes one or two are stacked on top of each other, but mostly there's just one-crate-walls. Standing on the catwalk near the offices are Katsu and Virgil.] [There is a large area in the center that's free of crates, though. They're mostly towards the front and back.] * Maria checks the window for a lock, and for corrosion. [No lock. These aren't the types of windows meant to open, really.] * Maria frowns. ( Can the window be unscrewed? ) ( Nope. It's just glass set into the wall, really. ) * Maria looks around for any other way in. There was a back door, but doors are lame. Ventilation grills or shafts, poorly patched holes, anything? ( Also, could Maria fit through the window if the class were cut away? ) [Probably a vent, yeah. On the roof, most likely. Yes. And you see the others walk into the clearing.] * Maria cuts a hole in the glass large enough to squeeze through, making sure to do so as quietly as possible. She memorizes the layout of the maze, while she's at it. * Maria takes the piece of glass she took and sets it quietly on the roof so that it doesn't fall off. She then CAREFULLY squeezes in through the hole she made and shimmies along the wall. ( And if all goes well that far... ) * Maria continues along the wall until she's in a position to reach Katsu or Virgil with one long jump, while remaining far enough to be hidden in some nice shadows somewhere. [A yellowish barrier blinks for a second when you get closer to them, preventing you from getting there.] * Maria blinks. * Maria pushes lightly against the barrier, experimentally. [A yellowish flash! It's like a wall!] ( Can I crawl on it? ;) ) ( Nope :P ) ( ;_; ) * Maria frowns and heads back to the entrance of the cratemaze, remembering it's layout so she can get through quickly.
