[Doctor Mephiston Luciferion Bahl] - [Entering the lobby] - [Speak with Tom and others there]<br/><div class="floatright">(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQyu4VV270RkVY0uv4NJgWIAfcGc_lVCSiqvOkDREMXZXJ6KRQ2yw) (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs31/f/2008/226/e/2/Steam_Walker_by_Keithwormwood.jpg)</div><br/>Loud, repeated<strong>thumps!</strong>coupled with the minor tremors of the ground marked the arrival of The Stoic approaching the garage area.  Twin plumes of smoke belched from the two chimneys on the walkers back as it ponderously made its way forward.  Each step it took while it lumbered forward was slow, but certain in its confidence.  The vehicle was scarred in a myriad of ways, dents and various minor rents scoring lines across its dark steel.  Despite the damage though, it still heaved forward, seemingly unconcerned about the state of its own health.  The twin cannons at the front continually swiveled, on the search for hostile targets.  Swaying side to side in an attempt to find an appropriate area to sit itself down, the walker gratefully sank down when it finally found a suitable parking spot, ready to enjoy its first rest in a long time.<br/><br/>From a hatch up top, Doctor Mephiston Luciferion Bahl (Doctor Mephiston to most people and Luciferion to his friends) pooked his head out, scanning the area.  Smiling, it could only be described as popping out as he seemed to leap straight up and out of the hatch before standing on top of the walker.  Stretching his arms and rolling his shoulders, Doctor Mephiston positively beamed as he took in the sights.<br/>"Finally!" he exclaimed.  "Some civilization at last."<br/>Climbing down from the walker, Mephiston spun around in a circle before properly orienting on the entrance way to the lobby, pointing at it directly with a cry of "Aha!"<br/><br/>Just before entering the lobby, Mephiston smoothed out the wrinkles in his shirt and dress coat.  He had been riding in the walker for quite some time and it did terrible things to ones garments.  Satisfied that he managed the worse of it and wouldn't appear horrendously scruffy, he stepped inside into the lobby area, happy taking in the sights.  Seeing a few others inside the lobby area, Doctor Mephiston delivered a heartfelt smile of pure happiness as he greeted them all.<br/>"Hello!  Hello!  You wouldn't believe how happy I am to see all of you!  Travel has been terribly dreary for me for quite some time, and I've only had the clank of gears and the hiss of steam to grant me company.  I compliment the civilized quality of your outfits gentlemen, and I must say that your garments are absolutely fetching miss!"
