> Nod.> "Let's try back the other way. The destruction there was more recent."> Head back to the previous column of smoke. Then, from there, head to the next-closest column of smoke.
> If we are high up in the air, silently beckon everyone to follow us, and make our way down toward the ground.
> Look around the immediate vicinity for any movement.
> Look back in the direction of the previous column of smoke we were just at (the very first one we visited). Follow that column of smoke in a straight line to our current location. Then keep following that straight line off into the distance away from our current location. Are there any columns of smoke that way?
> What options do we have in the reasonable vicinity that is not somewhere we've already checked?
> Could it be blood?
> How did Flare at Monday magic worked, in regards to what it does to the body?
> "Perhaps the remnants of a victim."
> Shrug.> "I have no real ideas otherwise."
> "Maybe."> Have another look at the smoke columns. Are there any that are further away from both the first two we visited than we are now?
> "Let us continue onward. Perhaps we will come across even fresher destruction."> Head toward the closest of those smoke columns.
> Beckon everyone to follow.> Head down to ground floor wall hole, quickly peeking inside each floor on our way by.
> Taking note of our current position, step out of time.> Quickly step inside the building through the ground floor wall hole and look around for anything Patchouli-y.
> Get back to our previous position outside and resume time.> Hold up a hand and give everyone a meaningful look, then make a shushing motion, then lightly point a few times toward the hole.
Well, this game happened.
> Quickly put out a 'stop' hand at Flan and shake our head.> Pull out our pocketwatch, point at it, and then point at ourselves.
