Sibyl whistled as she entered the giant, exclaiming, "damn, what a freak show Caesar made!" Laughing a little at this, she was certainly in awe of the strange fleshy interior that even functioned as a traversable interior at all. On an instinctual level when punching the creature she wasn't sure if it was man or machine, and now that she was properly inside of consciously she was even less certain of which. Well, either way didn't particularly matter to her. What did matter was that she was now inside the creature, which made her both curious about what she could find to break to make it stop. The girl briefly lost her footing as there was a sudden tremor from within, feeling as though the creature on the outside was briefly falling. This passed, however, only for the girl to see something strange in the strange cavity she had found herself in.  Steam coalesced into a figure mediating over a hole as well as another figure that she couldn't help but feel bared a strong resemblance to that winged guy she had seen a little while ago. "First shapeshifting goo and now shapeshifting steam, you guys really got everything here don't you!" The winged figure decided to launch feathers at her and while they were still made of steam, on instinct Sibyl swung her arm out to deflect them as if they were more than just hot air. Her instincts seemed to be right on the money as well, as though the feathers had dissipated like steam the force behind them was anything but. "So that's how it is huh? Well then, let's see how strong those fake wings of yours are."  While Sibyl was raring to go, she couldn't help but feel that each of her steps were becoming slowly more labored. No, it wasn't that it was getting harder to walk, rather it was more like the floor was trying to both swallow her and keep her from moving. Sibyl couldn't help but feel something vaguely familiar about this, though instead just dug her secondary claws into the ground. As the winged figure shot yet another volley of feathers at her, Sibyl propelled herself forward, dodging the feathers and raising her arm up at the same time before stretching it forward and slamming it into the man.  The steam winged man shielded the attack with his wings, though was smashed into the wall. However, the wall seemed to cushion his landing rather than make it worse. With a grin the girl said, "solid like smoke huh? It's like a best hits in here!" At the same moment, Sibyl started to lose her balance once again as the giant shook his head around, likely due to something outside again. Launching both of her secondary arms into the wall, keeping herself steady, the girl decided to keep up the pressure while ignoring the shaking altogether. Leaping backwards, she then pulled herself forward with her arms, slingshotting herself towards the meditating figure feet first.  With her, now, hooves smashing into the steam it disappeared in an instant. The floor suddenly returned to normal, no longer trying to fight against her, before steam poured out of the hole the figure was previously over. With the figure she had just destroyed now reappearing, Sibyl furrowed her brow. "Nothing can stay down when it's hit hard enough eh?" Her glee was slowly turning to annoyance as the heat of the room was starting to rise to sauna levels, causing her to start sweating more than usual. This, in turn, fouled her mood and told her that there was no point in simply attacking these steam things any longer. No, instead, she wanted to figure out what better way to actually kill this thing now that she was inside. And so, with an annoyed, "out of my way!" the girl punched the newly formed steam figure, leaping down the hole it had come from and coiling the other shadow arms around herself to protect from any oncoming steam. 

As Carmen followed Brian into the house, the girl couldn't help but feel a bit cautious walking into a stranger's place. Looking at the interior she was even less certain about being there, worried that one word would end with her getting blasted by some kind of large caliber gun the man might've had.  Thankfully, as the man who was leading the charge, Brian had elected to speak up first. Of course she was surprised as he had elected to sign her up for note taking duty, causing her to hastily pull out her phone and open up a note taking app as he asked his questions.  "So I guess this makes you Holmes and that girl Watson then?" The man grunted and shrugged. "Out back by the tree line, that way." He pointed towards the window at the opposite end of the room. The girl felt an immediate sense of dread as she was reminded of the last case they had done, though continued jotting down her notes. "D-did it - er, well, what kind of uh...dog was it?" "A ghost one I guess." "Eee- er...right...did it uh, do anything...besides, well, er howl?" "If it did I didn't see anything, I only actually saw it for a bit. What'd you need to know all this for anyway can't you just...cast some spell and make it go away?" The girl froze in place at his comment. She wasn't actually sure how to answer this. The obvious thing to do was say, "no it's more involved then that," but she was certain that he wouldn't take too kindly to that kind of answer and she was already on edge being in this place as it was. As such, she didn't say anything. And she didn't think she would have to. Instead, she decided to leave all of that to her partner as she immediately backed out of the house saying, "I-...I'll go look at the trees..."  On her way out the man asked Brian, "Is that girl...all there?" Making her way back down the driveway and hill, the girl walked around to the back of the house seeing a patch of dead grass, where presumably a pool had once been, and trees. Lots of trees. The only thing between her and the trees was the large open space of the yard. Remembering Brian's words though, and unsure if there was any other ghost animals around, the girl slowly walked across treating every step as if it could be one that causes her to plunge down into the earth below. Walking up to trees, finally, though she could tell that they were in fact...trees. However, there was something within the trees that caught her off guard. A beast that stood motionless, staring at her with such intensity as if it were peering into her soul.  So, naturally, Carmen froze in place. Staring back, in equal measure of fear to its intensity. Neither her nor the deer that she had come across moving for the time being. 

I just can't find much interest personally, 6/10 I'm sure it's not bad or anything but it doesn't do much for me, the end part was pretty nice
