> Pay closer attention to our surroundings.

>Looking around, nothing seems to be especially awry. Just a lot of cars and middle-aged tourists coming to and fro, many dragging kids along with them. It's pretty noise, all told. No one seems especially suspicious or interesting; you'd like to think even someone as plain as Explorer would have stood out, if only due to how dated his style was.
>"I won't say that's a bad idea," says Archer, "But be careful. Hmm...looking at this computer thing she's using, it seems like it has keys like an organ?"

>"I think so," Archer sends. "It looks kind of like that. I think there's some other buttons on it too, now that I'm watching. Or at least it looks like she's pushing them once in awhile."

> "Yeah, a keyboard can synthesize a lot of different sounds. Each button makes it sound like a different instrument, or adds a little beat that plays by itself. Well, assuming that's what she's using."

>"It might rain," she replies. "I can't tell just yet, but it's certainly thinking about it."

>You make your way up the street, to where you originally rested. You aren't sure you feel anything, but maybe it's there? If she is, she's doing something weaker now.

>You don't know where she is, but you're about a block away from the Anchorage Motel now.
>"Hm," Archer sends after a few minutes. "She just pulled something out of her keyboard thing, and put it in a little plastic case, and pocketed it. And it seems like she's moving over toward the bed."

>She nods, and the two of you make your way back in relative silence. Along the way, Archer starts to gather dry lengths of wood and tuck them under her arm.
>"So what's next?" Archer says. "Are we just going to hang around until it gets dark, or do you have something in mind?"
