An enormous warehouse connected to the shop. Though the door that leads to it is marked EMPLOYEES ONLY, Karin is the only one that ventures here. The space is large enough to comfortably fit an enormous creature such as... say... a dragon? It also has enough room for more than one dragon for whenever the Riders stop by the shop.
The only way to enter here is by the door in Karin's shop.

The inside of the warehouse was in complete darkness and empty except for a few shelves here and there. If Rain were to put a hand out to the space before him and keep walking he wouldn't have been able to run into anything until he reached the wall on the other side, and that was pretty far away.
The moment the boy entered there was another soft scuffling sound and the sound of something zooming around the place. A pair of eyes peeked out from behind a shelf before blinking once and disappearing. If he wanted to find anything in here he would have to venture in deeper...

"So now shadow, my rose, my fierce jewel, my ravenous eagle of the silent heights..."
 One of the Chosen, Bringer of Balance
((I'd actually have preferred if the lights had remained off to make it difficult sweatdrop but okay XD))
Rain turned around as the blonde had fallen. Once again helping her up, he proceeded to look around the warehouse. The dim lights seemed to have been barely holding off, casting but a dim, brown glow around the room and flickering, nearly fading to the point of complete darkness... Rain could only barely make out the few incomplete inventions placed upon shelves that lined the walls. Rain looked around in some wonder.
"I wonder why this is here if it is so empty... I would imagine her being a mechanic would involve her keeping all of her excess merchandise or works in progress here..." Rain spoke aloud in wonder, expecting the blonde behind him to say something in response... The noise of scampering could be heard throughout the warehouse, scratching on the cold floor, and silent hisses that seemed to emanate from all sections of the warehouse.
"What is that....?" Rain asked cautiously as he looked silently around, slipping his hand into the pocket of his trench coat...
"... let us dance together, let us rise together....
... and bring peace "

Almost as soon as the lights were turned on they shut off again. With the way they faded most would think it was a power outage of some sort. The scuffling sounds continued and the blue eyes peeked out again without either of the pair noticing before disappearing once more.
((That is now remedied... XD
Welcome back by the way! Didja have fun? =D ))

((It was EPIC! XD lots of tree climbing and other stuff. Except the stupid Menos that decided to interrupt.))
"Ergh, not again..." Rain grunted as he turned to where he had last seen Quora, in an attempt to face her. "Are you alright?" He asked her as the scuffling sounds grew more pronounced...
Rain continued to look around after, searching for some sort of indication as to the source of the noise.

Why am I here...
Why aren't I dead?
Quora Lightstone
One of the Chosen, Shy Beauty of Lightning
She looked up to the boy just before the lights turned off again. "I'm just fine," she reassured him, leaning against the wall to keep from stumbling again. "Heh, I should've been more careful. I happen to be kind of a klutz from time to time. But anyhow, I'm Quora." Quora glanced around in the darkness, wondering what this place was and where the shopkeeper went. Her fingers dragged along the wall, running over gadgets handing on racks...and then a metal plaque. She glanced up as her violet eye seemingly illuminated a little bit. There was a name engraved on it... "Miss Karin?" she called. "If you're in here, make some noise so we know we're not alone..."
She waited for a few moments...no answer. Quora sighed and turned to Raine afterwards. "Have you ever seen one of those white-eyed creatures before? They're alluring, yet dangerous. That's how I got the huge cut up my leg." She winced in pain upon remembering how bad it hurt. "I need to get a better grip of my guitar next time that happens..."
It's because of the monster...
That separated me from my family!
((...Raine was gone??? =O))

((XD I was from friday night to last night at around 7:00-ish. I thought Twi told you))
Rain gave Quora a reassuring smile. "Nice to meet you." He said as he looked around further. I wonder where the mechanic went anyways... He thought as he scratched his hair in wonder. "I'm interested in hearing about that. Which white-eyed creatures and how did you get that scar?" He asked, turning around to face Quora. He was slightly interrupted as the sound of a scuffling noise could be heard once more... "That's definitely not her..." He said as he slowly drew his pistol from the interior of his coat... His most trusted pistol, the Soundsplitter .48

Quora smiled a little. "I'm not sure what it's called. But it was dressed all in black and wrapped from head to toe in bandages. And it wore a weird-looking heart pendant with a dagger through-" She stopped upon hearing another scuffling noise and raced back into the shop, coming back with her metal guitar over her shoulder. "Whatever that is, this guitar is harder than the metal used to make your air boat. It'll whack somebody unconscious in the blink of an eye." She gripped the neck of it with both hands and got ready to hit whatever thing was in the shadows...until she recognized that kind of noise. It would've sounded just like a "relative" who lived with her back home in a large, hollow tree.
"Hm..." she wondered. Quora definitely recognized it now and lowered her guitar, squinting her eyes to see through the darkness... Her eyes widened when Rain got out his pistol. "Wait, don't shoot!" she called. "I think I have an idea of what that thing is~!"

She is "that one"...
Sparks
Dragon of Karin
Before either Chosen had a chance to say or do anything else, a white blur shot out of nowhere and promptly tackled Rain to the ground. All he would see would be two glowing blue eyes and hot breath on his face as the dragon sniffed at him. Despite the prompt tackle none of the dragon's actions seemed in the least bit threatening, her pure white body undefined in the darkness of the warehouse but still beautiful.
After investigating Rain for a moment the dragon leapt back and disappeared. One moment passed before Quora was quickly met with the same treatment as Rain had been. The two blue eyes peered curiously at her as the dragon sniffed to define her scent. Another moment before the dragon leapt back and sat on the ground next to the two fallen Chosen. Though they wouldn't be able to see it with the dark, her tail made a thumping sound as it wagged from side-to-side in curiosity.
...therefore I will protect her.
((@Raine: I did! XD
On another note: So nobody freaks out and says "OMG a giant dragon crushed my character!" Sparks is currently the size of a small dog or so thanks to the charm on her necklace. 3nodding XD ))

Quora Lightstone

Quora's eyes widened as she suddenly felt something tackle her down to the warehouse floor. "Gyah~!!!" The only things visible to her eyesight were a pair of bright blue eyes as she eyes it with curiosity. It got off soon after as she stood up, brushing herself off and walking nonchalantly over to Rain, helping him stand back up. "...What is it?" she asked aloud, hearing its tail thump from side to side. "Judging by how it greeted us, I can't tell whether it's some kind of small reptile...or a dog. Hm..."
Quora hadn't noticed that the hood had fallen off her head, letting long locks of neon-yellow hair cascade wildly down her back and shoulders, a few bangs shrouding her left eye.

((You did not! Not until Raine got back last night! >=O XD))

"So now shadow, my rose, my fierce jewel, my ravenous eagle of the silent heights..."
One of the Chosen, Bringer of Balance
Rain was taken by surprise as he was knocked down, his pistol skittering away as he dropped it upon hitting the ground... "What the-!?" he asked in pure amazement as what he thought was a strange iguana had pounced upon him... He could make out the white body of what looked like a dragon, but it was too dark from him to exactly tell... The dragon seemed to have disappeared and Rain allowed himself to stand back up... "What was that?" Rain asked... "Quora you there? Did you see the large lizard thing?" He asked as he searched for his pistol...
"... let us dance together, let us rise together....

Oh wow look at all the people~!
Karin & Sparks
Dragon Riders Extraordinare
The little white dragon cocked its head to one side and sidled up to Quora to nudge her leg like a dog might. Its body was soft and smooth, more like silk than scales. It nudged Rain as well before moving away and sitting before them again. There was mischief in its eyes, it knew what came next...
"Well what have we here?" a voice slipped out of the air behind them. The lights suddenly flickered on and Karin could be seen clearly, an amused smile on her lips. In one hand was a bow staff, in the other something built like a sniper. These she had pointed at Rain's and Quora's heads respectively "It seems two strays have wandered into the back of my shop." she glanced over at the dragon "What should we do with them?"
Sparks gave off a sound like a laugh Let them go Karin. We've scared them enough as it is.
Karin smiled warmly "I suppose you're right. The show is over~." The gun was pulled back and disappeared while her staff was twirled gently before being tossed into the air. In the air it seemed to snap into a smaller shape and when it was caught by the woman again it was revealed to be the cane she had been carrying around. "I'm sorry about scaring you~. But it's always fun to see what people's reactions will be~." she smiled.
Sparks gave a fanged grin and spread her wings to fly out into the center of the large warehouse. Her voice echoed in their minds, soft and sweet I apologize as well~. I was curious about the two strangers entering my home~.
Extraordinary isn't it~?

She shuddered upon feeling the sniper rifle being pointed to her head. "ANything but that~!" she shouted, swinging the guitar around to hit Karin in the head. Upon seeing who it was, she gulped. "I'm so sorry about that! I followed Rain back here to make sure he'd be okay! I didn't think there'd be anything back here and-" Quora immediately stopped apologizing as she heard the dragon-like creature speaking. "What- How can- Miss Karin how is your dragon-creature talking?! It's doing the same thing that my dragon does at ho-" She slapped two hands over her mouth upon realizing she almost let her secret slip out.
