Wait...how do I...oh! It's recording right now? Okay, I've got this. Hello, people who are attempting to send a voice letter to me! Should I say my name? I should say my name. This is the voice letter box of Dwayne ir'Dorn. Just say your message after the beep. Did I do it right? Wait, I should probably-- **beep**

( Since she prompted it, Alex doesn't even flinch, driving off with a smoother start because she remembers freaking Zayne out when she hadn't made the extra effort the last time. Better to be kinder to Dwayne when that memory's in mind. It's a quick drive with her bike's speed and the familiarity she has with the roads here, and the lack of traffic. If they even see anyone else on the roads, it's just... not remotely like a truly lived in city.

Ergo they reach their destination before too long, Alex slowing down and then coming to a stop, starting to straighten up out of the forward crouch she assumes when driving. Pushing back her visor, she practically chirp-sings: )

We're here! How'd you like the drive over?

[Dwayne watches as the entire world races past in amazement, holding on tight the entire way because he doesn't dare risk losing his grip at these speeds. He doesn't release his grip until they arrive at their destination and his arms drop down to rest on his legs.]

That was amazing! Faster than any broom I've ever ridden on!

Right? You get it! It's a fun ride!

( She laughs, hanging her helmet on the handle of her bike. This is one of the buildings with fully intact stairs to the rooftop, hence her selection; not all of them have the option, but she's had too much time on her hands and a love of figuring out stupid puzzles, ergo here she is now. (And probably on two people's CCTV footage, but as Alex knows neither of them and can't say she really cares, good on them. Seeing a young woman climb things.) )

Here, we want the stairs on the far left of the building, but we've gotta head in the front since the door on the outside doesn't have a handle. There's an elevator that works from floor ten to floor eighteen, then we'll be walking again.

( Flashing a smile, and hauling along her small bag of supplies unpacked from under the boosted seat he'd been on, Alex heads toward the front doors of some building that's named and utterly unfamiliar to her even so. )

[It's for the best that there's stairs, since Alex may like climbing things, but Dwayne does not. He dismounts the bike, looking at the building they'll be going to the roof of. It's tall, but he's seen plenty of taller buildings in Sharn so that part doesn't shock him.]

The door doesn't have a handle?

[He follows along, confused by that bit of information.]

Why would it not have a handle? How do they expect people to open it?

[reincarnesiac]

It's meant to only allow people out, not in. You see it on a lot of exits you don't want to have someone guarding or have a lock on.

( Alex says with a shrug. Not common at most the places she's worked (she's only really worked at the Hunter's Association), but she knows about it from media and other people's job stories.

Still, she veers toward the elevator to check on it, jabbing the button for up. The light actually comes on, leading her to perking up considerably. Then it opens to... nothing. Alex's shoulders fall, and she sighs. )

Okay, so the elevator for the second half of the building ( she points up ) is actually there, time to get climbing for now.

( And she heads right back toward the glory that is the interior staircase she's already familiar with. Look, sometimes she can Hope. )

Oh, that makes sense! Saves on guards! Although you do run the risk of someone slipping in behind someone leaving.

[Maybe he just has more experience with situations where someone might want to sneak in. He follows Alex, surprised when the doors open and nothing is there.]

I'm guessing you've used it before? Since you know that elevator is there, I mean.

[He follows, letting her lead the way.]

Do the stairs go all the way to the roof in case it isn't there?
