Kenshin looks at Half-Hill, it didn't seem so great to him. But, as he followed Amidamaru inside, he looked about their surroundings. He didn't seem to care much for the inside either.
He decided not to ask why they were here, figuring he would find out sooner or later. As they enter the lab, Kenshin found himself more interested in the strange objects littered about, than Tempest himself. As Amidamaru started to speak with Tempest, Kenshin just looked at all the strange things within the room.

Tempest looked up from his current project. He set his tools to the side, and walked over to the two.
Tempest: "I'm Tempest... what can I do for you?"

RYUUSEI: "I found a strange object in a cavern near this hill. Someone once told me that you were good with unusual objects. The man who told me was Horikawa Sanosuke."
Ryuusei removes the orb from his satchel, and shows it to Tempest.
RYUUSEI: "This would be it. What do you make of it?"

Tempest nods at the mention of Sano. He takes the orb, holding it carefully between his finger tips.
Tempest: "Hmm... I found one just like it the other day. It's not glass or crystal, or even stone. Honestly, not any material I have ever encountered, but..."
Tempest goes over to one of the benches where he kept the orb he found. He set the new one next to it, and stood back as the orbs rolled together and became slightly bigger.
Tempest: "Hmm... must be the same material, or belong to the same being. I wonder..."
Tempest took a step back, and pointed a clawed finger at the orb. Lightning, a small bolt, jumped from his finger tip at the orb. The lightning reflected back, hit him square in the chest, and sent him falling backwards. He caught himself and was back on his feet a moment later.
Tempest: "Resistant to lightning... will not split if prevoked."
Tempest grabs a sheet of paper that was also on the table, and writes down the new findings, along with 'unbreakable', 'solid', 'fire resistant', 'not stone, or earth componant', 'possibly magical resistant', 'scratch proof, possibly indestructable or enchanted', 'glows in the dark', and 'makes really odd noises when poked'.
Tempest: "My honest and professional opinion? The orb is something we can't comprehend just yet. Possibly has no value, no magical or scientific properties, and deffinatly not human friendly. It possibly belongs to someone who has, or had, use for it. There is possibly an untold number of them out there, waiting to be collected. There could be a catostrophic effect if in the wrong, or even right, hands. I believe these orbs belong to someone. Who, is the next question."

Ryuusei studies the orbs for s few moments as Tempest is giving his theory.
RYUUSEI: ".....do you have somewhere safe to lock these up? Like you said, in the wrong hands these could prove to be catastrophic. We need to seal them up temporarily."

Sylvia is in the kitchen, busy cooking. she turned to Faero.
Sylvia: "So, what brings you here?"
~~~~~
Tempest: "Yes I do. Follow me."
Tempest rolls the orbs onto a sheet of leather and wraps them up. He leads Ryuusei and Kenshin up the stairs, down a hall way, and up another flight of stairs hidden at the back of a room. The next hallway wasn't lit, and the only light to be seen was at the very end of the hall, shining through a partially closed door.
In side was a well lit room with largs sheets of paper stuck to the walls with designs for an airship. It looked much like a large ship with one design showed a huge balloon on top. Another was just the sails, and the numbers for floating crystals to be set along the hull for lift. Another design was a series of propellers, but that had red paint crossed over it. In the very center, a huge table was strewn with paper, charcoal pencils, candles and candle holders, and a sharpening knife. On the floor, under a torch was a strange machine that was constantly spewing paper with numbers and markings. Next to that was a stone safe.
Tempest walked over to the safe, pulled the door open, and set the orbs inside.
Tempest: "There... should be safe."

Faero looks over at Sylvia with a somewhat guarded and somewhat embarressed look on her face. "To tell you the truth- I don't know. I woke up this morning, but I can't remember anything before that point besides my name and my weapons, and I didn't even remember that right away." She pauses, then decides its probably best just to spill just a little. "I found this really weird orb next to my sword, and when I picked it up it kind of - melted into me, and then I remembered that much, but for the life of me I don't know where I come from or what I'm doing here." She pounds her fist on the table in frustration, then takes a breath and clears the emotion from her face.

Ryuusei examines the safe.
RYUUSEI: "Do you think a stone safe will be enough?"
He pokes and prods it a little.
RYUUSEI: "....well, it'll do. Anyhow, thanks for looking at it. I didn't know what else to do with it."

Tempest meerly nods, closing the safe, and seting the tip of a claw on the seem. Lightning crackled over the whole thing, then vanished, leaving nothing but a solid stone cube.
Tempest: "Good thing Sano mentioned me, then. By the way... I didn't catch either of your names.."

Faero's stumache rumbled. She just barely stopped herself from blushing in embarrasment. "So, um...can I get something to eat?" As it dawns on her that she doesn't have anyplace to live right now, she continues in a rush, "And is there any chance I can stick around here? Just for a little bit, I promise. I'll help out with whatever you need me to do or anything, too. Would that be OK?" She looked around uncertainly, wondering if she should have said anything at all.

Sylvia turns around, grining maddly. She places a large bowl of rice infront of Faero, along with some fried meat strips and a bowl of soup.
Sylvia: Sure! I would love to have another person around. Much better than putting up with scaly butt all the time. There are a lot of open rooms on this floor, and the other floors above. I've been here for a few months, and still have not explored everything. Mainly because Tempest is stupid and keeps asking me to run to Golden Valley for supplies, or something. We might have to make a run there anyhow for more linen, and possibly a matress.
Sylvia continued to put choices of food on the table, along with a set of chopsticks and a fork and spoon. She suddenly remembered what Faero said earlier.
Sylvia: Hmm... an orb... and no memory. Well, if all else fails, I'll help you find them. Least I can do.

Faero smiled gratefully and looked around, wondering where the person Sylvia had only ever reffered to as 'scaley butt' was. If Sylvia had mentioned his name, Faero hadn't heard it. "What's he like?" She asked, hoping Sylvia would know who she was reffering to, as she got up and helped her finish laying stuff out on the table.

Sylvia shrugs.
Sylvia: "He is different from other guys, Not really like someone would suspect. He has a bit of a temper, but it is easy to deal with by ignoring him. He is really really really smart... smarter than some of the other people I have met. He knows a lot of things, and makes a lot of useful things. That is how Half-Hill has ventalation, and running water and plumbing. Everything down in the Great Room is his making. He is... unique. You won't find anyone like him anywhere else."

Ryuusei responds quickly to Tempest's inquiry.
RYUUSEI: "My name is Ryuusei Amidamaru. A friend of Sanosuke's."
He looks around at the oddities laying about.
RYUUSEI: "So, you're into machinary, hm? These things are quite unusual. Did you make them yourself?"
Before hearing an answer, Ryuusei examines the blueprints and sketches of the airship designs.
RYUUSEI: "And this flying boat... another idea of yours?"
He examines it closely, trying to catch every detail.
RYUUSEI: "....hm... have you built a 'flying boat' yet?"

Tempest rolls his eyes, thinking of the wonderful rebukes he could say to the comment of not making anything himself.
Tempest: "Yes, I built every piece of machinery you see inside Half-Hill. I'm an engineer, which is... advanced machinery, dealing with new ideas."
Tempest wished he could kick himself at that moment for the childish description of his profession.
Tempest: "As for the ship, I'm in the process of aqcuiring the materials needed. Yes, I have built one before, but much larger, faster, and stronger. Made out of metal, it could summon storms and fly great distances. Saddly, I had to leave it behind."
Tempest goes over to the table, and looks over a sail design.
Tempest: "God... I miss that ship..."
