A few hours of wandering around the much more populated city streets of the lower tiers of Coruscant had Morene in a bit of a confused mess. Not entirely due to the various amounts of sentient alien citizens roaming around, that wasn't too strange to take in considering life back on her Terra was rather diverse, anyways. Rather, Morene had no idea where she was going whatsoever.
Every single time she looked up, Morene saw broken signs that led to closed convenience stores without fail. Every time she looked down, Morene could see litter and glass spread across every tile of cement making up the sides of the road. Though the rather damp alleyway she woke up in wasn't the most comfortable, Morene thought she'd much rather been there than out in the open.
Even if the night sky was rather calming to look at every once and a while, that did not distract the huntress from the noise in the city streets below. Though she hadn't seen or heard anything of too much concern as of yet, Morene knew the distant yelling and swearing usually meant wherever she was at the moment wasn't a pleasant place to be.
Only a few minutes later on did she end up realizing why this Coruscant city was so busted up; Morene had been accidentally moving down the "tiers" whilst searching for something as a lead to where Yuuko might've been, or some place to rest. It didn't take the huntress too long to figure out her own folly, considering it was quite easy to eavesdrop on passing citizens, even if quite a few of them had their eyes set on the obvious Prime wandering the streets. Had she known why everybody was giving her such strange looks, Morene might've been shocked to hear that her choice of attire wasn't exactly the norm in a place like Coruscant.
Sighing, Morene looked to her side, watching both ways before starting a jog down across the street. She watched as a few floating vehicles passed, one of the drivers visibly annoyed with Morene's sudden act of jaywalking. The huntress almost felt bad, but she knew this particular part of town wouldn't have paid much mind to such petty things in comparison to most cities she had been in. With all that out of the way, Morene stepped up to the curb, looking up at a deathly dark abandoned building, windows cracked, the door chained and locked up tight enough that no street thief could get inside and salvage whatever was left behind in the seemingly unprotected dump.
Thankfully enough for Morene however, she was no street thief. Running her fingers along the worn-down walls, the armor-clad woman wished she had it in her to just climb the building to get away from the noise and rest up for the night, but Morene assured herself that today was definitely going to have to be a lazy day if she wanted to get anything done whatsoever. That, and simply put, the huntress already had enough eyes on her to make her feel uncomfortable, and scaling a building wouldn't exactly help.
Creeping up to the alley in-between the two presumably abandoned buildings, Morene easily found a back door that wasn't as heavily held closed. Swiping a newspaper off of her boot, Morene raised herself up and put her ear to the door, focusing intently on what may be inside. A few seconds passed, the huntress straining her head to listen through the rampant yelling on the streets.
"Alright..." Morene mumbled to herself, carefully placing her hands on the knob, inspecting it carefully. Knowing it was locked, she tilted her head, inspecting the door ever so carefully.
Then, with enough force to make the almost middle aged woman jump in surprise, the door knob completely snapped off by a mere movement of her wrist.
"O-oh."
Breathing in after that little scare, Morene looked down at the handle in her hands, slowly putting it back on the door, pushing it open. Letting the handle go once more, the hunk of metal crashed down onto the floor, Morene's face showing nothing but embarrassment at the moment.
Thankfully however, looking around in the barren building, all Morene could see was dust particles flying in the almost completely dark room, minus the tinted and broken windows letting a small amount of city lights in. 'Closing' the door behind her, Morene walked in to the surprisingly quiet building, sighing in relief. Sneezing soon after entering the room, Morene found the dirty building quite comfortable to be in due to the sudden warmth. At that moment in time, all the world's problems seemed to be ever so slowly fading in Morene's head.
Yuuko going missing, being so suddenly shoved into a different realm of existence entirely, her physical health, and whatever problems this strange new world had to offer to her. She had to apologize in her head to the metaphorical manifestation of those problems existing, for they would have to wait until tomorrow morning
to be dealt with.
Slumping over, Morene looked to the floors beneath her, a sly smile on her face as she saw a few sets of blankets and pillows off to the far corner of the other room she had walked into. Picking a single set up, her tired eyes could barely see how dirty and abandoned they looked. She couldn't bring herself to care, the huntress simply looking over to find a nice, quiet place to place herself in. Her head ached as she moved it to the right, seeing a distinctive wide set of stairs, leading to the building's second floor she only now realized it had.
Striding up the single set of stairs, the dusty old ground beneath Morene's feet creaked as she quickly hopped up each step. Getting to the top, Morene took a left, immediately facing another large, rather plain looking door. The door itself, to Morene's gratefulness, was already opened, likely due to lack of care on the previous owner's fault. Though she didn't have the energy to figure anything out at the moment, the huntress knew quickly that this place had a little story behind it, one that she'd unfortunately have to sleep through. Going into the surprisingly empty room in comparison to the floor below, Morene gazed over the dimly moonlit clusters of litter on the floor. She then threw the slightly mucky set of covers and pillows previously tucked into her arms right onto the middle of the room, before looking up a moment.
A little groan escaped Morene's mouth as she realized she'd have to 'secure' the room she resided in first and foremost. Lazily walking over to a few dirty sets of books, Morene slowly walked over to the slightly open door, balancing the rather heavy set of text on the frame, conveniently placing it so anybody to open it further than it was at the moment would either have books crashing down on them, or the floor beneath their feet, a loud enough sound for the huntress to hear while resting.
Breathing deeply, Morene looked out through the single window lighting the room with it's simple nightly blue hues, mumbling to herself in the meantime as she almost instinctively crouched down to wrap herself in the dirty blankets she set before her.
"4 hours, that's all..."
She wanted to say more, but before she knew it, Morene found herself slumped over, her head placed down gently onto the torn and ragged pillow fast asleep.
