((The burned remnants of a village. Don't know exactly where, but it's winter. >< Watch your step, you might burn yourself.))
An ANBU crouched down in the patch of snow she was standing in, picking something up and brushing off the white powder. She moved her mask to the side so that it was out of her face, her green eyes flicking over the crude doll that she held in her hands. She smoothed the hair back from the fabric face and combed a few charred splinters from the black strands as she did so. She sighed quietly and held the doll close to her chest, then glanced around at the smoking frames of wood that surrounded her.
"Find something, Stryker?" one of her team mates asked through her radio. She nodded and tapped it.
"Little girl's doll," she said in a small voice. Lasher was quiet on the other end.
"Right. Keep looking," she said softly. The ANBU nodded and went back to looking for anything important, like maps or survivors, still holding the doll close to her as she did so.

A red hawk sped past the ANBU and circled her for a moment.
"Dastuke, calm down." Matsuro ordered. The hawk flew to him and perched on his shoulde

Stryker pulled her mask back over her face and straightened up, turning her body to halfway face Matsuro.

Matsuro glanced around, his gaze resting on the doll in Stryker's hand.
Cove flicked his tail and yawned, If Chrome had something to do this I'll kill him...

Stryker chewed her lip slightly behind her mask and crossed to Matsuro. She stepped over the smoldering remains of a wagon as she did so and held the doll out to him.

Matsuro examined it for a moment before glancing at Dastuke.
Cove sniffed the doll and blinked, That smells familiar.

Stryker blinked when Seether contacted her.
"Yo, Stryker. I think you should look at this."
She nodded to Matsuro before trotting off, hopping over a smoking pile of what used to be a canvas tent.

Kokoro walked slowly through the remains, Fluffy sniffing around as he walked beside ehr.
Kokoro sighed and glanced at Fluffy. The girl had to go and get herself hurt. Sticking me with thy duties.
She blinked and knelt down to examine some of the remains.

Stryker sighed heavily as she crouched over the smoldering remains of something vaguely human. She pulled an arrow from its chest, which bore red fletchings on the end. She rotated it slowly in her fingers.
"Scalpers," she muttered as she handed the arrow to Seether. The taller ANBU ran her fingers the length of the arrow, using touch in place of sight.
"So these people were gypsies?" she asked quietly. Stryker nodded.
"Most likely." She glanced around, sniffing the air.

Kokoro glanced at Fluffy. "Hath thou found anything mutt?"She asked flatly.
Fluffy glanced at her and shook his head.

Cove morphed back into a human and walked into one of the few houses still standing. He crouched down and sliced open the floorboards at the sound of soft whimpering.

"Stryker! Seether!"
Both of their heads snapped up, and they darted to Lasher. They blinked behind their masks.

Fluffy's ears twitched and he dashed towards Matsuro.
Kokoro sighed and slowly followed the puppy.

Matsuro helped a little boy out of the basement who quickly clung to him sobbing.
