The noise only responded with more wails.Barring it being an electronics store that would be open at this time of night, I'd say that's a burglar or fire alarm. Though I don't think shoplifting alarms would be loud enough to be heard out here anyway? It's possible that someone went and set an alarm on all of the most annoying-sounding clocks in the store as a practical joke. I don't see any smoke yet, but that doesn't mean there's no fire... Do burglar alarms make noise these day, or do they just notify the police? ((Wait... You mean this as a RP thing, not something that happened IRL? )) ((Pft XD Yes. Since when do I italicize things that are going on in rl or even narrate them? The board is dead and none of my other conversation starters have been successful anywhere but skype.))

Thought maybe you really liked the store, or something. Maybe I've gotten too used to how others use italics on the Taco.)) *a figure jumps across the rooftops toward the source of the noise*

Anyway, no.)) The alarm suddenly went silent, yet no police or fire trucks had shown up at the building.

There were voices coming from inside, as well as a flickering light and the smell of smoke.

The robot was in poor shape, completely missing an exterior shell. Old shoelaces, cheap carpet string, and other rags held her together, and her feet were wrapped in plastic bags.robot: It's not our fault or our problem! You're going to get us caught!

She scooted off of the ice and tried to flee, yelling at the others.robot: RUN! Inside the building there was a crash as whatever activity had been going on ceased and two more robots neared the door.
