A Land of Sun and Sand:
Egypt is not all uninhabited desert. Along the Nile, the land is lush. There are large cities, such as Cairo and Alexandria. There is much more to the land than simply yellow sand and pyramids.

This is not one of those places.

The sun is blisteringly hot, pounding down on the sandy earth. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, this pyramid is easy to overlook. It is not especially pursued by archeologists. It is not easily accessible to tourists. It is, in short, an excellent place for someone to hide out. One would practically need the coordinates of the site just to locate it.

Coordinates which are now in the hands of a small group of people investigating an evil cult...

With goggles over his eyes, a bit of sunscreen on his nose, and a supply pack on his back, The Breaker steps out of the portal with the others and looks around. "Dibs on that sand dune," he declares, pointing in a random direction. Apparently just noticing the pyramid, he starts walking towards it.

"Is this the place? Yes, this is the place. Where else would it be? I wonder if there's a Crispy Creme inside..." he trails off, scanning about for the door.

Just as usual, Vinny wore his sunshades, although he had traded out his trench of a sleeveless shirt and his usual standard jeans. He was still dressed in all black though, his usual fare. he wasn't making any other consolations for Egypt - heat or not.

He stepped through the portal and grimaced at the heat before he started to light up a cigarette and took a few steps after Gene, blowing smoke towards the sky. "I'll be glad when we're out of this place." he said sourly. "I think I already got sand in my vagina."

	Matt still wore his black duster, having enchanted it to keep him cool in warm weather, and warm when it was cold. Even with the precaution, however, the heat was still annoying. He looks at Vinny after the man's comment and raises an eyebrow. "Classy." he says simply, looking around. "Let's find who we need to kick the crap out of and blow this taco stand."

	"Vinny you're not man enough for a vagina. And as for you," she looked at Matt, "we're kicking the crap out of anything. We'll handle it in a much more...effective fashion." She really didn't want to go home with broken limbs. Tan, yes. Broken things, no. "Is there an entrance to this thing that we can easily access?" Probably not but here was to hoping.

	Gene looks over his shoulder at Vinny and frowns a moment. "Hey...leave the crazy to the professionals," he says with what could be a pout. He then turns back around and continues scanning the pyramid for entrances with his goggles. "Working on that now," he remarks to Shelly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then work a bit faster. We don't want Michelle becoming a crispy critter." Yes, the heat made Shelly...cranky. "Matt, you have any ideas on how to find the entrances?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, the sooner we get in somewhere the better," Michelle growled. (Reply to this)(Parent)
