[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie stood a few feet back, able to remember what the house used to look like and how different everything used to be.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He looked back at her. "Do you mind if I poke around?" he asked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Not at all."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Chris nodded and began looking through the rubble, his hands soon coated in ash.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie sighed to herself and decided to sit down on the ground, staring at what used to be her house.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Chris stooped down and froze when his hands curled on something that wasn't wood. Slowly, he pulled a skull out of the ash.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Find anything?" Addie called a few moments later.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I think so," he called back, his voice dry. His ran his fingers across its surface.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((brb))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((okay))

She slowly got to her feet and joined him on the other side. "Oh."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Who is this?" he asked, his eyes wide.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She bit her lip. "You think I killed someone."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I never said that," he said and ran his fingers across the teeth. He paused when his thumb snagged against a chip in one of them. He stared at it and then dropped the skull. He stood up and took several steps back. "That's me," he breathed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded, not looking at him.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Is that what happened to me?" he asked, trying to keep from not panicking.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"The fire? No."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Then?" he asked, looking at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You were murdered," she whispered. "I don't know who it was."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Murdered?" he repeated and took a few deep breaths.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yes."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He tried to form words but nothing came out of his mouth. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed shakily.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm sorry, I should have said something," she said in a low voice, looking at her feet.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What would you have said?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I... don't know."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, me neither."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I didn't think anything would be left."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't know what to make of this."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm sorry. We shouldn't have come here."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No, no, it's alright."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Really?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He sighed and nodded. "Yeah."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She doubted it, but nodded anyway in return.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He slowly walked back over to her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She held her hand out to him. "Do you want to know why it burned?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah," he said, sitting down next to her. He took her hand in both of his hand squeezed it tightly.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie leaned against him a little, looking at the burned remains of everything, a little faraway look in her eyes as she remembered. "I found you a few minutes before you died," she murmured. "I don't really believe in burying people, so that was your funeral. The last bit of magic I ever did."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't know what to say," he whispered.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's okay."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"This is a lot to take in."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I know. Sorry."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He took a deep breath. "How was I murdered?" he asked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Someone attacked you. I don't know who it was or why they were mad at you. There was a lot of blood," she said quietly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Damnit," he muttered, putting his head in his hands.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm sorry," she said again, wrapping her arms around him.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why are you apologizing?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I wish there was something I could do that would help."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"There's nothing to do."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I know. But you're upset."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Only for a little while."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Still."
