//sure! Dust swirled idly through the near empty road. The town Chan had headed into seemed completely devoid of anything making it a place people gathered and lived. Worn, abandoned, old. Storefronts had been boarded up, and the rest of the buildings seemed like metal domes. Nevertheless, Chan was still walking purposefully forward.

She made an abrupt turn towards one of the numerous storefronts. Like the others, it looked closed, with covered windows and no discernible signs of light from within. None of that deterred Chan. She walked up to the door and knocked.

It took her several tries before someone came to answer it.

“Closed.” The door creaked open and a woman poked her head through the crack. Vega looked almost uninterested as she took in Chan, and then Clay.

“Oh, we’re not buying.” Chan shook her head. “We... need a place to stay.” She stared at Vega’s face for a moment. “It’s a sandstorm right? Or something to that effect. We weren’t expecting something like this, so...”

Vega squinted, but let up rather easily. Her silhouette disappeared from the door. “Come on in then.”

Chan immediately pushed her way in.
