In the middle of Siberia, there's a facility. It's rumored to be one of the most guarded facilities in the whole world, and for a very important reason. Within those walls is a portal to the other side. Not the other side of Russia, or the world, or even to the other side of the universe. It is a portal to the afterlife. In days long past, people came there seeking to converse with their dead loved ones, to see them one last time. But no one has visited the facility in years. Decades, even. Some aren't even sure the facility still exists and wonder if the portal just ended up swallowing itself and taking everyone in the facility with it.

There's only one way to find out.

"BUT I AM WHITE, LIKE THE SNOW. YOU CANNOT SEE ME." Then, there's an uncertain pause. "Are you sure?"

Fenris' attention quickly shifts to the other god. "BIRD, CAN YOU SEE ME?"

[lord_roadkill]

"Why do you think I'm here?"

There's something almost lucid in the look he shoots Jim, something far too serious and old for the body he occupies, but it's fleeting, only there for a moment before he's walking towards the Wolf with an enigmatic smile.

"Cover it in ice, doesn't take away what it is. I see all."

[captainawesome1701]

"Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if even you know." He's teasing Horus, of course. ....sort of. Anyway, he's gonna keep heading towards the facility and just HOPE the other two follow.

[fenristhewolfgod]

"Oh." Fenris is Rather Put Out. He was really hoping he had discovered the secret to being invisible, like his father, but it's not to be. He just doesn't have magic powers like that. So sad.

It's a sadness soon forgotten, though, in favor of stalking Horus through the snow like he's watching prey.

[lord_roadkill]

"Door's open. Nobody watching." Please. He knows why he's here. Mostly.

He doesn't notice the stalking Wolf, at least not at first, only keeps walking, watching the scenery around him.

[captainawesome1701]

Right. The facility. Aside from the supposed-to-be-but-actually-not-electrified fence surrounding it, there is absolutely no security for them to get through. Jim figures there's probably supposed to be, but there aren't even other footprints in the snow.

The door is also ripped off its hinges. "Well, that's encouraging..."

[fenristhewolfgod]

"It is!" Fenris replies. "They want us to go in." He wags his tail enthusiastically and trots towards the door with no thoughts whatsoever that it might be a trap. Why would it be? The door is open!

[lord_roadkill]

"Welcome party," Horus offers with a small smile before walking towards the door too, just as little concerned about the situation. He has wings, somewhere, all else fails he can get out of the way. Death's much less terrifying when you're friends with the ones in charge of managing it anyway.

[captainawesome1701]

"Hey, Fenris! How about you go in first?" Let the giant wolf led the way. Sharper sense, sure, but also because he's got a better hold on this whole Asgardian thing and Jim isn't really keen to test out his boundaries when he just came back from the halls of Valhalla. Sorta. It's complicated.

[fenristhewolfgod]

"Okay!" The fearless (well, in this instance, anyway) wolf barges right on ahead, running through the open door and totally ready to pounce on anything in his way. But... it doesn't seem like there's anything in his way. "It is dark! Do not stub your toe, Cousin!" Silly humans and their lack of night vision.

[lord_roadkill]

WHY ARE YOU JUST RUNNING INTO-- well okay fine that's useful at least. Horus follows willingly though, shifting back to hawk because it's easier to navigate and see that way anyway, swooping overhead to make a circuit of the room.

[captainawesome1701]

"I'm not gonna stub my- OW!"

Guess who stubbed their toe? He grabs on to Fenris' tail (gently! he doesn't want to start a wrestling match that he SO can't survive) to help guide him through the dark.

"What I wouldn't give for a tricorder right about now... Seeing anything yet?"

[fenristhewolfgod]

"It is dark," Fenris helpfully provides, wagging his tail without realizing that it's probably dragging his hapless cousin around all over the place. "I smell energy. Lots of energy. Strange energy. Not of this world."

[lord_roadkill]

Horus just shrieks; it's a big open room. Lots of space. He makes a sweep, finding metal torches set into the walls, and when he lands on one, carefully, a claw triggers a button, causing it to flare to life, bringing a flood of light around it as it turns on with a blue glow and a vaguely ominous hum. He wheels away from it, startled, to return to the rest of the group, perching on Kirk's shoulder. He tries not to dig his claws in too deeply but they're predator's talons; a little bit's unavoidable.
