It is a long uphill walk through the city towards the Delambre's city residence. Small rivers of melting water, destroyed buildings and a large glacier keep Eivor off the quickest path to apartment building.
She finds the building's exterior charred from attempts of arson during the night. A few of the locals mill about looking for trouble while a few others skulk in the alleyways keeping a close watch on the street.

As long as they don't get in her way, Eivor doesn't bother with the locals. She makes a circuit of the building to check for entry points, and perhaps scenes of fighting since their conversation had been cut short.

The main door at the front shows a small amount of damage from riot or fight having one of the windows smashed. Around back is a small park and the rear exit from the building. Some locals, probably homeless, have moved into the park using the one large tree for shelter.

Eivor attempts to gain entry through the main door, clearing any obstructions and reaching through the window if necessary to unbar the door. Not really wanting to force entry from the street, if that fails she goes around the back, checking for open windows or other easier methods to get inside.

The door is unlocked but beyond, in the lobby, Eivor can see two guards on duty. Some sort of building security. They seem reasonably attentive and poorly armed.

Guards is actually a hopeful sign. Perhaps something can be salvaged from the ruins after all. "Good day!" She calls. "I am conducting an investigation on behalf of the crown. Do you mind if I come in?"

[OOC: no 'crown' in this place, just lords and ministers. The royals were executed or run out of the place years ago. No worries.]
"Where'd ya be thinking of looking? The residents here have been through far too much the last day to be disturbed by a lot of poking about and banging on doors. Any specific suite of interest to you?"

"The DelAmbre suites if you please." [OOC: I meant the crown of Amber, but nvm ]

The guards glance at each other from the corners of their eyes.
"Certainly, Lady," one says holding out a key to her.
"Minister Hakker told us to warn anyone going into the place that it could be very dangerous. Didn't give us any more detail."
The apartment is on the third floor. Eivor can hear a faint buzzing sound from the apartment door. A faint pink-blue light pulses about it just on the edge of her perception.

Eivor brings up the Pattern and tries to get a good sense of her environment before looking any further, careful of traps. Thus prepared, she warily unlocks and opens the door.

Eivor is surprised that there is a hint of magic about the door - she was in the manor house and witness the laboratory and affected people. As she concentrates on the sound, she hears a crash of noise as if two live wires had touched and sparked.
A spark jumps from lock to key as she goes to open the door turning her hand numb for a few seconds.
The room beyond does not resemble the manor. Mainly it doesn't show signs of being the location of mass murder. The furniture is orderly, the kitchen clean and well-stocked. The furnishings are of the local design, but a few new pieces have been added made in a different, clashing style—a large portrait of the DelAmbres: Lord and Lady, daughter Simone, and son Antoine. Evidently, Coy added himself to the painting with a crayon stick figure drawing.
[OOC: More to come tomorrow. I'm falling asleep at the computer!]

[Just to clarify, is the space beyond the door actually part of this building or is it some sort of portal back to the manor? I'm getting the impression it's a vision rather than a gateway, but my gut feel is that entering the room will disrupt it rather than transport her there. Anything familiar about the clashing style?]

[OOC: BY all senses the apartment is in the building as it is supposed to be. The view from the windows is the streets Eivor was walking on earlier. The main style is usual Deiga, but the additions are unknown to her unless E has been to certain shadows described in the upcoming post....]
