Marluxa tilts there head, pondering on why James insisted on taking the long way to get down. But they figured that James had some sort of reasoning behind it all and agreed to meet him by the building's entrance.

"Ah yes yes... Marluxa meet meet friend James at bottom." Marluxa then pushes themselves off railing and starts crawling back down the building's side.

As they neared the entrance, Marluxa wait just above doorway. A few students entered and exited the thought the doors but didn't seem to pay Marluxa any mind. Once James finally showed up, Marluxa leaped off the doorway just in front of James and stands up onto their two feet.

"Ah there there friend James! So slow slow. Very very slow slow. Khee khee~" chided the alien creature whom then turns their head to a particular set of buildings and flicks their tongue for several moments.

"Friend James ready ready to go go?" piped up Marluxa, whom seemed eager to get exploring with their new companion.

After looking around for a few minutes, James finally spotted Marluxa, who seemed eager to get going.

"Im ready if you are! Lets do some exploring."

He went to move before pausing for a second and turning to Marluxa

"Hey, why don't you go ahead and lead the way? Since you seem to know where you want to go and all. I'll tag right behind and make sure nothing bad happens."

With that
James set off, heading in the direction of the buildings Marluxa had pointed out while they were still on the roof. Of course, he went at a slightly slower pace than normal, allowing the Alien to take the lead.

"Rhmmm? Khee kee... Marluxa not know know where they go go. But Marluxa will find find a way. Marluxa good good at finding path path unseen." chirped Marluxa whom leaps forward and takes point. The alien creature then leads James to next set of buildings like hound leading their master. As they approach the doorway to one of the buildings and goes to open it, only to find it firmly shut. Confused, the Gleed backs up and makes a series of clicking sounds at the building's face.

"Rrhmmm... what what this place place friend James? Are there word words about?" asked Marluxa as they start to feel around the door-frame trying to find perhaps a sign to indicate what this building was.

James looked around for a minute, trying to figure what building they were at. After a few minutes he found what he was looking for, a plaque that denoted the building as one of the lecture halls used for college classes. As for why it would be locked, well that could be anyones guess.

"Looks to be a lecture hall, and with buildings like this one, there's normally a couple entrances, meaning that we can still somehow get in, hopefully."

He walked to one of the sides of the building and found what he was looking for, a pair of double doors that, with a slight tug, opened right up.

"Hey Marluxa, over here! I found us a way in!"

He called out as he headed into the building, holding the door open for Marluxa to make their way in as well.

"Lecture hall? Where teacher speak speak yes yes? Maybe find find another way in? Marluxa will search search with friend James." Marluxa hopped off the wall and tags along with James as they look for an alternative entrance. Their search seemed to have yield results as James managed to find another way inside.

"Ah good good!" cheered the Gleed as the waltz on inside. While the lights where on in the hallways, the classrooms appeared dark and empty. Though Marluxa had no way of really knowing such things, a flick of their tongue told them that there was nobody around. Least no one recent.

"Rhmmm... no one here here? How weird weird." commented Marluxa as the begin to search around. Normally she would have been able to pick up some evidence of people milling about but not in here. Prehaps there where no classes currently in this section of the school? Or maybe this place was abandoned? Either way, this warranted further investigation from Marluxa. Maybe they can sniff out something.

"Marluxa not taste smell anyone but us us... we should look look around yes yes?"

James glanced around the building as the entered, the whole place looked run down. The floor was covered in grime, some ceiling tiles were missing, and the whole place just looked like it had been forgotten. He walked over to one of the classrooms, and gave the door a tug. Nothing. Went to try a different door. Still nothing. It seemed like the class rooms were all locked off. But then, why had the door they had used to get in been unlocked?

"Yeah, from the looks of it, no ones been here for a while. Wonder why." he questioned. He didn't think the school would keep a place like this on campus. But, it was a large enough place that somewhere might slip through the cracks.

"Yeah, let's take a look around, I mean, we're already here anyways. If you find anything, just yell out." He said, setting off down the hallway. Occasionally stoping to check classroom doors to see if they were locked.

"Rhmmm... emptier than Dark Crystal." commented Marluxa as they start licked the walls and floors "Dark Crystal had empty empty halls like these these. Even before before become ruin ruin."

Marluxa continues to scuttle about, their sensitive tongue picked out one locked door in particular. There was the faintest trace of some exotic chemical that they could taste that seems to originate from this room but can't find any way to investigate further.

"Rhmmm! Something tasty tasty! Can James James see see want in there through look look glass?" pointed out Marluxa as the point through the slim window on the door. If James was to peer inside it looked to be a chemistry lab of sorts with everything neatly put away. The room itself seemed to have been unused but not entirely dusty either.

James let out a small chuckle at the mention of Dark Crystal. "Yeah, place probably looks worse than this now." He noticed Marluxa appeared to have stopped at one of the doors. "You find something?" He asked, before looking at the door, which seemed to be locked. That said, James still tested the handle. At first it was felt like it was locked, but James felt like he could force it.

Click. The door swung open, and James went to go in. Only to be hit the stench of something. Taking a quick second to glance around the room, he spotted what looked to be a mass of, what looked to have been a plant. Though now, it was a rotting mess. Spilling something on to the floor. No way in hell he was going near that.

"No clue what the hell is in there, but I ain't going near it." he said, looking at Marluxa. "Honestly, I don't think there's really anything here. Whole place looks like its been abandoned for a while. Kinda makes me think about DCA....." He trailed off for a moment before continuing. "Hey, why don't we go explore there? Probably some cool stuff now that the whole place is kinda abandoned." He said, waiting for the Aliens response.

"Rmmm... Marluxa not not know what Dark Crystal looks like now now... only hear hear. Less less chitter-chat and more... creak creak of lonely hall halls." commented Marluxa. As they allow James to try the door, Marluxa goes to hang from the ceiling until their companion manages to jiggle the door open. Marluxa followed in close behind into the room, quick to investigate.

"Rhrmmm... explore explore Dark Crystal?" piped up Marluxa whom was just an inch away from poking the dead plant thing but thought better of it "Oh yes yes! Marluxa know know the way way! Marluxa show show friend James the path path. Rmmm... go later today today?"

James cringed a little bit as Marluxa went near the plant thing in the corner. It didn't seem like it was hurting the alien, but he wasn't going to take a chance by getting close to it. "You only hear? So you can't see then?" He asked, surprised that Marluxa was able to move around so easily without being able to see.

"Honestly I image the whole place as being in.. Not great shape. It was abandoned for a decade of so after all. Still, all the more reason to check it out right?" He asked, before perking up at the Marluxas mention of showing him the way to DCA.

"Wait, really? Then what the hell are we doing here?!" he yelled. "And screw waiting, lets just head there now. Sooner we get there, more time we'll have to explore after all."

With that said he stepped out of the doorway, clearing a path for Marluxa to leave the room. "Well." He said, with a smile "Lead the way!"

OOC: Thread is now concluded.
