That didn't exactly encourage her.
But, it also didn't deter her. She was too curious to not check it out at all, and she couldn't make any sort of assessment without actually seeing it herself. Plus, that was ONE person. He could be making that up.
Though when she stepped into the little cavern, there were a mish-mash of chairs and furniture that obviously stated these had been collected from an assortment of places. But... it kind of went with the vibe. Strings of lights and just enough old stuff to prepare yourself some tea or coffee. It was pretty hipster, in fact. And although Schuyler Emmons was far from a hipster, she was liking the strange little place so far.
Her eyes landed upon an odd sort of box propped upon four legs. There were handles coming out from it, and someone was standing there just looking at it in a puzzled, but interested fashion. The brunette resembled these feelings toward it. And, seeing as the handles were there to be... well, handled, Schuyler soon made her way over to the thing and pulled one of them. Some little figures moved with the pole they were attached to. She spun it, and the figures did backflips. Huh. Okay.
Well, that still didn't explain much.
Lex had noticed the moment she was joined by someone else--a sign the last three years of YATI training hadn't gone to waste but she was much too busy trying to figure out how in Merlin's beard this thing worked to make much of a deal about it. People were always in and out of here. It was never crowded per say but there was the odd visitor every now and then, along with the odd skeptic who didn't believe this place existed in the first place.
Her interest was only peeked when a glance away from the large machine thing revealed it was someone she knew--mostly by association and mutual friends and stuff but not a complete stranger so that was fine. Even more interesting was the fact she came right over and immediately took hold of the handles.
"You know how this thing works??"
Was it meant to flip like that? Was that the point of the game? That...didn't seem nearly as fun.....
Muggles were strange things.
Lex took another sip of her coffee, eyeing the thing curiously.
"I've been trying to figure it out for a solid couple minutes now but..." Nothing was happening--or was THAT the point?
