65: NekoCon

May 26 20:11:45 <~zoofman>	Today...is the long awaited day that is Neko-Con.  Many a dork far and wide has traveled for this event, and also many an undercover staffer.  Given the connections involved here, getting Alice snuck in as a surprise performer and some new faces on the staff wasn't a huge issue.  As for the venue itself, well, Shiverwing's a pretty modest township, but it does have its own convention building for when the time arises.  I
May 26 20:11:45 <~zoofman>	t's a bit dated, as it's the old K-12 building, but it's been well maintained enough to support big functions like this.
May 26 20:12:28 <~zoofman>	While a lot of the exhibits are indoors, there is some spill out from food booths and merchandise booths outside, and the stage for the festivities is also outdoors as well.
May 26 20:14:43 <~zoofman>	Not many people ventured here by ship, or at least not their own personal ones, so finding room at the docks was pretty minimal.  Our heroes arrive at the convention a few hours after opening to find it bustling with activity.  Granted, like most conventions, before you really do much, you'd need to go to registration to pick up your pass.

May 26 20:17:02 »»	Chase goes to get his pass~
May 26 20:19:32 <zooftop>	By now the lines have died down a good bit, so it's not a really long wait till you're standing in front of someone sitting at the foldy table with a laoptop and scanner tool.  The young lady sitting there looks up to your group and says, "Sup ho?"
May 26 20:19:38 »»	Genevieve heads over for the pass as well.
May 26 20:19:51 »»	Rosetta looks a little funny wearing Hei's trench coat given her petite size, but her short hair makes the crossplay not look too weird. She's lined up with the others.
May 26 20:19:52 <zooftop>	It's directed at Rosetta.  On second glance it's Briana without her hat, and a different hairstyle.
May 26 20:20:11 <Rosetta>	"Oh hi! Wow, we've got everyone heading this way, huh?"
May 26 20:20:47 <Genevieve>	"Good. We'll need all the help we can get."
May 26 20:20:50 <Chase>	(I'm not really sure if the performers would have dressed up or not - assuming not?)
May 26 20:21:15 <zooftop>	"I guess."  She shrugs.  "Rest my crew is out in the wilds, cuz we'd seen it before anyway.  They wanted Aura Users here at the nerdfest though."
May 26 20:21:27 <zooftop>	(There's a back stage to change at still, so no not at the moment)
May 26 20:21:54 <Rosetta>	"That's smart. How do I look?" Rosetta slips on the mask for a moment.
May 26 20:22:01 <zooftop>	"Butch as hell."
May 26 20:22:29 <zooftop>	Brianna scans your credentials and gets passes ready for you - Chase has one labeled GUEST PERFORMER, Gen and Rosetta just have regular VIP ones.
May 26 20:23:10 <Chase>	Chase is in his normal clothes for once, not really knowing enough about dis shit to cosplay. "Thanks." He goes ahead and binds Aura Guardian since Brianna mentioned it. "Thought that was y'all we saw that time."
May 26 20:23:44 <Rosetta>	"Aw, not 'cool' or 'badass'? Anyway, thanks and good luck."
May 26 20:24:47 <zooftop>	"Oh its cool enough.  Don't think they'll mistake ya for Dandy though, so hey, if they did sneak guys in, you won't get shanked."
May 26 20:24:52 <zooftop>	She looks really confused at you, Chase.
May 26 20:25:11 <zooftop>	"Ya'll saw us gettin' chased by those Garchomps? Sheet."
May 26 20:25:31 <Rosetta>	"Oh. I didn't even think of the similarity there." She tilts her head. "Whoops."
May 26 20:26:28 <Chase>	He laughs, I don't think they actually did. "Naw, not that part, but... ah, don't worry about it, we can catch up on that later or somethin', girl."
May 26 20:27:14 <zooftop>	"Word.  Hosetta still owes me that sammich anyway."
May 26 20:27:18 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, we better get set up before the Red Scare."
May 26 20:27:58 <Rosetta>	"Hey, you probably don't want that paid off in con food anyway, yeah?"
May 26 20:28:03 <Chase>	"Why you keep her waiting?" he teases Rosetta, giving her a playful bump on the shoulder.
May 26 20:28:18 <Chase>	"Anyway, yeah, better go."
May 26 20:29:53 <zooftop>	"Uh huh.  We'll see bout dat debt of yo's one day - you'll recognize any staffers in on this, likely.  G'luck with whatever ya'll need to get done here."
May 26 20:29:58 »»	Chase starts to head to head on in, pulling the GUEST PERFORMER pass on.
May 26 20:30:16 <Chase>	"Thanks. This is gon be good." he grins.
May 26 20:30:38 <Genevieve>	"It'll be something, anyway.
May 26 20:31:41 <zooftop>	She moves her attention to the next guest in line as you wander off.  So, inside the building there's a stand with a little map and layout.  Indoors, a lot of the rooms are being used for presentations and viewings - there's some pamphlets with schedules for these events.  The gymnasium seems to be in use as a giant open gaming room.  There's a -few- merchandise locations in doors, but most of it is outside.
May 26 20:34:26 »»	Chase checks out the map.
May 26 20:34:31 <zooftop>	There's a good sized crowd shuffling around in this main area - the decorations are pretty minimal, outside of some scrolls with art of the con's Eevee-themed mascot, as well as a new one, Espurr themed.
May 26 20:34:37 »»	Rosetta slips her mask on as she walks into the con proper. "So uh, what exactly do we do in the meantime? Try to figure out where Grant's dudes are?"
May 26 20:35:19 <Genevieve>	"Let's do a sweep, see if he's got anything planted."
May 26 20:35:42 <Chase>	<We got people on that.> he auras. <I guess it couldn't hurt to keep an eye out but -I- probably need to focus on being inconspicuous a bit.>
May 26 20:35:56 <Chase>	Though that said, he keeps his aura vision up due to what Bri said.
May 26 20:36:52 »»	Genevieve nods and does a quick peek into Symbolsight.
May 26 20:37:04 <Chase>	<Probably need to look for Steel Wing, too...> he thinks on it, totally not metagaming from the other channel.
May 26 20:37:32 <Chase>	<She should stick out like a sore thumb with aura, so there's that.>
May 26 20:37:51 »»	Rosetta reaches into her coat and releases ZODIAC, sort of pressing the Unown into the interior of her trench coat to stay hidden.
May 26 20:38:19 »»	Chase heads on in, guitar in its proper case for once and slung over his shoulder. He's looking around the place and trying his best to look like he's just killing time til his performance.
May 26 20:40:47 <Chase>	Not TOO hard to do, anyway, he does want to have a little fun while he's here.
May 26 20:40:54 <zooftop>	You don't really pick up on anything in this central hub, Gen.  Though as you guys do look around, you notice a few of the Mawile bots, dressed up in little cute dresses with ribbons on their maws walking around.
May 26 20:40:54 <Chase>	Though he's not super big on these anime things.
May 26 20:41:03 <zooftop>	They seem to be playing with the younger guests, and generally cheerful.
May 26 20:41:07 <Rosetta>	"Lemme know if you sense something weird, yeah?" Rosetta says to ZODIAC. "Like a bunch of Unown somewhere or where Steel Wing might be. Just, I dunno, tug at my ear a little or nudge one of my prop weapons in the right direction."
May 26 20:41:52 <Genevieve>	"Wanna split up and see if we can track her down? We just need to find her and throw Alice at her."
May 26 20:42:03 <zooftop>	Unown fumbles around inside your coat but eventually makes a sighing motion and settles down.
May 26 20:42:10 <Rosetta>	"Sure."
May 26 20:42:22 <zooftop>	Er, ZODIAC does rather
May 26 20:42:42 <Rosetta>	"I'll bet she's wherever your backstage area is though." Rosetta nods toward Chase.
May 26 20:42:50 <Chase>	"Yeah, would be better anyway."
May 26 20:44:22 <Chase>	Even he has to appreciate how cute the Mawiles are, but he just gives a smile and starts to head off.
May 26 20:44:52 <zooftop>	Where to exactly, given the presentation/viewing room portion, game room portion, and outdoors merch area?
May 26 20:45:33 <Chase>	(We could each take a place, or... Maybe that'd be too much on zoof)
May 26 20:49:32 »»	Genevieve takes Turing and heads to the game room to beep boop around.
May 26 20:49:47 <Chase>	Let's go to the presentation room and get a feel for the venue.
May 26 20:50:18 <zooftop>	Each of you roll me Perception by the way, when you do get to your choice area.
May 26 20:50:58 »»	Rosetta watches the others go off and decides to cover the merchanchise hall.
May 26 20:51:02 <Rosetta>	5d6+1 percep
May 26 20:51:03 <DiceMaid-9001>	Rosetta, percep: 22 [5d6=1,6,5,5,4]
May 26 20:51:03 <Chase>	3d6-2 It feels weird rolling three dice now.
May 26 20:51:03 <DiceMaid-9001>	Chase, It feels weird rolling three dice now.: 10 [3d6=5,3,4]
May 26 20:51:17 <Genevieve>	2d6+5 Perc
May 26 20:51:18 <DiceMaid-9001>	Genevieve, Perc: 14 [2d6=6,3]
May 26 20:53:02 <zooftop>	The game room has all sorts of games going on.  Arcade, lan parties, consoles, and also board and tabletop stuff going on.  It's pretty rowdy and loud in here, but Turing hovers off to cheat at a DDR machine as you look around.  You notice a hulk of a man you recognize as Zeke wandering around in a plain black t-shirt and jeans, blending in as a staffer and helping people with technical dificulties with the machines.
May 26 20:53:12 <zooftop>	You also see...
May 26 20:53:33 <Break__>	" 'SUP, NERDS"
May 26 20:53:41 »»	Break__ is now known as Lilith
May 26 20:55:02 <zooftop>	Chase, you start to peek around in the viewing and presentation rooms and see a lot of them are just showing cartoons on projectors, and others seem to have guest voice actors and artists giving presentations and Q&A sessions.  While walking around here you recognize a flock of girls in ninja costumes following around a girl you recognize as Hendrix.
May 26 20:55:12 <zooftop>	You don't see Kali, but you have a feeling she sees you.
May 26 20:55:40 »»	Lilith mostly makes a big fuss as she drags a trenchcoated man in a wide-brimmed hat over to the DDR machine. She's lets her crimson locks down for this one, and her own cosplay is simple - a closely form-fitting black sweater, a short, tight black skirt, low-cut heels, and a black parasol equipped with a blunted spear tip.
May 26 20:56:29 <Chase>	Chase has to stop himself from physically facepalming, settling for a mental one as he realizes Hendrix and her crew have hidden in plain sight.
May 26 20:56:51 <Chase>	And stiiill a little creeped out by the stalker sensation.
May 26 20:56:53 <Lilith>	The man she's dragging around is, of course, Arnaldo, who she has also put in tight pants and given a bokken. Seems it's largely an excuse to have him walk around bare-chested.
May 26 20:57:13 <Genevieve>	"Hey, Doctor. Captain."
May 26 20:57:21 <zooftop>	Rosetta, when you get out to the merch area, you take less than a minute to locate the funnel cake booth, the booths selling yuri manga, and to find Anna and Alice's bunch.  Anna's dressed up as Elsa, and Alice as the sister, Anna.  Kiara and Garcia are with them but aren't dressed up
May 26 20:57:44 <zooftop>	The funnel cake booth is being staffed by Roland and Dahlia.  Roland does not look at all excited.
May 26 20:59:00 <zooftop>	And indeed Arnaldo is following Lilith around, though he seems to be spacing out and paying more attention tot he bluetooth headset he's got on than the things going on around him.
May 26 20:59:38 <Rosetta>	"Hi!" Rosetta waves to Roland and Dahlia. "Having fun?"
May 26 21:01:41 <Chase>	That said, he doesn't approach Hendrix just yet, instead just having a look around. Though if he happens to coincidentally get close, that's another deal~
May 26 21:01:45 <zooftop>	"No." Roland answers flatly after a glance your way.  Dahlia notices you there and strikes up a bit more conversation. "Ey Rosetta! It's alright I suhpose.  'Aven't had much issues yet...if they do got people here...isn't easy to locate em."
May 26 21:03:44 <Chase>	Does this seem like the place that the bands are going to performing in? Either way, Chase has a look around. First scanning the room as if for familiar faces - which is true, he's keeping an eye out for Steel Wing. Then secondly for anyone with extraneous auras - like if they had unowns grafted to them.
May 26 21:03:45 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, I hope Chase and Gen have had better luck." Rosetta pushes her mask to the side of her head and buys a bit of funnel cake to eat.
May 26 21:04:51 <zooftop>	No, Chase.  You saw them preparing an actual stage outside earlier.  Though one of Hendrix's crew does point you out to the captain, and eventually she does approach you.  "Good afternoon, Chase."
May 26 21:05:10 <Lilith>	"Heyo, Doctor! What's up?
May 26 21:05:11 <Lilith>	"
May 26 21:06:04 <Lilith>	"I'm mostly just trying to get a bit of game time in before I'm inevitably thrown off the dance pad for having two left feet. Arnaldo's mostly being a spoilsport and, you know, doing actual work."
May 26 21:06:04 <Genevieve>	"Checking for Communists. Trying to resist the urge to tweet a million pics of Athena's first anime convention."
May 26 21:06:46 <zooftop>	They get you a funnel cake in short order, Rosetta.  Dahlia also mentions. "Yaretzi went to wait on Yanala, but if you do need help they'll be here soonish."
May 26 21:07:05 <Chase>	Oh, whoops. Missed that. Though when Hendrix approaches he grins. "Oh, hey, Hendrix. Having fun?" Is Hendrix in a ninja costume too?  And he looks around, then says a bit quieter, "More to the point, you seen anything unusual yet?"
May 26 21:07:35 <Lilith>	"I'm having some fun just taking random pictures. Hashtags toosexyforhisshirt and egretsassemble."
May 26 21:07:56 <Rosetta>	"Shiny. We could definitely use more aura vision 'round here. At least try to enjoy this, yeah?" Rosetta directs the last sentence at Roland before hopping off to see Alice et al. "Heya!"
May 26 21:08:30 <zooftop>	She is indeed, and she hrms as you ask that. "I've seen a few costumes that make me wonder if they aren't actually garments or not.  This was a pretty ideal location for them to blend in at.  I haven't -seen- anything obvious, but there's reports of a lecher on the premise."
May 26 21:08:56 <zooftop>	"A few girls have complained to staffers about their skirts being flipped, or a phantom hand groping them."
May 26 21:09:26 <Genevieve>	"I can't believe you convinced him to be mancandy on the job."
May 26 21:09:29 <Chase>	"Well, you get all kinds at events like these."
May 26 21:09:51 <Chase>	"At least we're not dealing with shoe cameras."
May 26 21:10:49 <Lilith>	"It just takes some subtle incentives, that's all."
May 26 21:11:04 <Chase>	"When you say phantom hand, though, that just mean they don't see who's doing it, or it's literally a ghost, or what?"
May 26 21:11:16 <zooftop>	"Shoe cameras..? For - ooooh."  She gets the idea of it.  "Either way I suspect any followers of Grant's beliefs here are blended in quite well.  It might take some bait to get them out of hiding."
May 26 21:11:21 <Lilith>	"But he only agreed if he could hide his gear along somewhere, which I GUESS is okay. Spoilsport." She huffs in mock offense, but returns to her usual chipper demeanor.
May 26 21:11:48 <zooftop>	"The reports suggest something closer to the former."
May 26 21:12:13 <Chase>	"Bait..." he rubs his chin, thinking.
May 26 21:12:48 <zooftop>	Alice and Anna turn to greet you after finishing up a photo op. "Hey Rosetta!" They both greet you.
May 26 21:13:14 <Chase>	It's too bad that Chase probably didn't happen to bring Morty Mog's crown.
May 26 21:13:19 <zooftop>	Kiara, Annete, and Garcia are close by but haven't noticed you yet.  They are looking over a merch booth at the moment.
May 26 21:13:52 <Rosetta>	"I like the costumes. That's cute. Anything out of the ordinary so far?" Rosetta tries to wave over at the other group with Annette as well.
May 26 21:14:55 »»	Genevieve waves to get Turing's attention. "Hey dood, blip through these machines and make sure no one's hiding Unown in them. Like that other time, alright?"
May 26 21:14:58 <zooftop>	They are a bit too engulfed by what they are looking at to notice, Rosetta.
May 26 21:15:45 »»	Rosetta keeps an eye on them for the moment then and returns her attention to Alice. "You don't uh, feel anything different 'round here do you? I dunno, just figure being in proximity and all..."
May 26 21:15:50 <zooftop>	Eventually Arnaldo wanders over to Gen as well.  "Afternoon, Doctor.  Runnin' the security here is harder than runnin' it back home.  Some perv just stole a chick's underwear, apparently.  I'm not sure if I should shake my head or be impressed he somehow pulled it off.  Literally."
May 26 21:16:53 <Chase>	"I know we got something that would -really- get some of their attention, maybe a bit too much, even..." he considers.
May 26 21:16:57 <Genevieve>	"How? Supernatural?"
May 26 21:17:31 <zooftop>	Alice and Anna hrm as you ask that.  The star of tonight's show shakes her head, "I can't say we've seen anything super weird yet.  Other than Mr. Jenk's choice of costume."
May 26 21:17:48 »»	Rosetta tilts her head. "What is it?"
May 26 21:17:50 <zooftop>	Arnaldo nods. "Seems so, telekinetic, I reckon."
May 26 21:18:21 <zooftop>	"Guess I'm going to have to officially warn the guests to guard their skirts closely," He rolls his eyes.
May 26 21:18:58 <Genevieve>	"Want me to deploy the ghosts?"
May 26 21:19:24 <Lilith>	"Thankfully it hasn't happened to me yet..."
May 26 21:19:56 <Lilith>	"I was apparently WAY TOO CHARITABLE and expected people to actually control themselves." :|
May 26 21:20:06 <Chase>	6d6+6 HOW TERRIBLE OF AN IDEA IS THIS
May 26 21:20:06 <DiceMaid-9001>	Chase, HOW TERRIBLE OF AN IDEA IS THIS: 22 [6d6=4,3,2,1,2,4]
May 26 21:20:18 <zooftop>	Anna answers that, "He's um.  Dressed as a meguca."
May 26 21:20:30 <zooftop>	"It's sort of disturbing," Alice chimes in.
May 26 21:21:26 <Rosetta>	"Oh. This isn't kawaii." :<
May 26 21:21:49 <Rosetta>	"I guessssss I'm crossplaying too, but that's a bit different!"
May 26 21:22:55 <zooftop>	"I think this guy wouldn't have the guts to snatch the britches off you anyway, hon," Arnaldo says to Lil, then he nods to you, Gen, "Might help some, havin' some ghosts patrolin'.  I reckon the girl might have some psychic residue on her cloths though that might help as well.  Was about to go where they are holding her for now."
May 26 21:23:19 <zooftop>	Chase, it's up there on the bold strategy marks
May 26 21:24:50 <Genevieve>	"Ooh, maybe I can help with that. I can't track psychics per se, but I can do other stuff."
May 26 21:25:12 <Genevieve>	"Lead the way. Don't want to let out the ghosts in a crowded room, anyway."
May 26 21:25:58 <zooftop>	Arnaldo leads Gen and Lil down the hallway where Chase and Hendrix are chatting, as you guys pass each other Arnaldo pauses and relays what happened to Hendrix.
May 26 21:26:28 <zooftop>	"We tried to get Garica to dress up too, buuut..." Anna sighs and shrugs, looking over to the trio.  They seem to be huddled around a comic book.
May 26 21:26:28 <Chase>	He ponders this a good few moments and shakes his head. "Nah. We got something that would definitely work but it'd potentially put them on alert and screw up something else we're tryin' to do. I'll need to think of something..."
May 26 21:26:56 <Rosetta>	"What's been up with Garcia lately anyway?" Rosetta looks over.
May 26 21:27:15 <Chase>	"Sup." he says when they pass.
May 26 21:27:44 <zooftop>	"Ladies skirts." Arnaldo says as he relays where their group is going.
May 26 21:27:57 <Genevieve>	"Panty thief. A hundred bucks it turns out to be Jenks."|
May 26 21:28:31 <Chase>	"Heard about it, doubt it." he says.
May 26 21:29:08 <zooftop>	Alice shrugs. "Just hasn't been energetic, I guess."
May 26 21:30:06 <zooftop>	Anna adds, "And less promiscuous.  I think."
May 26 21:30:49 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, but..." Rosetta telekinetically taps Annette on the shoulder and waves again.
May 26 21:30:58 <Chase>	He ponders on things further, before...
May 26 21:31:04 <zooftop>	"Either way we were heading to meet the young lady who had her knickers taken," Arnaldo says, "If you would care to join us."
May 26 21:31:34 <zooftop>	Annette eeps and jumps a bit in surprise as she whips around.  She's a little flush in the face.
May 26 21:31:35 <Lilith>	"I'd mostly -have- to join in just to stay safe."
May 26 21:31:56 <Lilith>	"I'd, uh, probably have a gigantic target on my back with how short this thing is. -Seriously.-"
May 26 21:32:29 <Rosetta>	"Hi!" Rosetta tilts her head, then trots over in curiosity to see what they were reading.
May 26 21:32:29 <Genevieve>	"Wanna see if you get an aura trail or anything?"
May 26 21:32:45 »»	Chase pulls out a sheet of banana stickers and starts giving one to each of the ninja squad. "Call me crazy but I got a wild hunch. I know some of Grant's people wear these like badges."
May 26 21:32:49 <zooftop>	She stammers as she sees ya, "H-hi Rosetta."
May 26 21:33:43 <Rosetta>	"Whatcha reading?" Rosetta tries to get a good look.
May 26 21:33:46 <zooftop>	The girls look skeptical but begin pinning banana stickers on one another's outfits.
May 26 21:34:39 <zooftop>	It's really graphic BL hentai doujins, Rosetta.  Garcia's been reading it casually as the other two girls just couldn't look away.
May 26 21:35:26 <Chase>	"Worst comes to worst, you're just wearing stickers, best case we get a bite on the hooks."
May 26 21:35:27 »»	Rosetta puts her hand to her mouth in mock surprise. "I didn't know you were into that, Annette. You've grown up so quickly."
May 26 21:35:44 <Chase>	"I'll keep thinking of other things in the meantime."
May 26 21:36:39 <zooftop>	Hendrix elects to stay with her group for now, and Arnaldo continues on toward the security stop where the girl is being looked after at the moment, if Chase is joining them.
May 26 21:36:53 »»	Chase goes off to join Gen and Arnaldo and Lil sure.
May 26 21:37:03 <zooftop>	Annette looks about ready to die if embarassment, Kiara just says, "I had no idea this sort of thing even existed."
May 26 21:39:35 <zooftop>	Next to the BL display is a yuri one, where a young woman is standing in a white hooded jacket, with a book of her own choosing open in front of her.
May 26 21:40:38 <zooftop>	Arnaldo unlocks the door to what, at one point, might have been a school staff break room and is currently a little security station, with people on laptops wathcing cameras, and dispatchers talking on radio.  There's temporary divider walls set up.
May 26 21:42:11 <Rosetta>	"Hey Garcia, what's up?" Rosetta turns her attention. Is there anything that particularly stands out as odd about the yuri reader?
May 26 21:44:52 <zooftop>	In one of the little half rooms is Kali, talking with...Seir.  It seems Kali's the one with the clip board for one, and Seir seems pretty flustered.  They are both sitting in on little foldy chairs, but Seir has a blanket over her lap.
May 26 21:45:57 <Genevieve>	"...let me see if I can see anything on these two besides the purple womanizer."
May 26 21:46:07 <Chase>	"...oh damn." he says when he sees the sight.
May 26 21:46:23 »»	Genevieve checks Seir over with Symbolsight.
May 26 21:46:38 <zooftop>	Garcia puts down the book for a moment and looks over to you. "Hey Rosetta - not much I guess, these comics are pretty sexy though."  It's a pretty flatly said statement.
May 26 21:47:02 <zooftop>	The yuri reader...roll me intuition, Rosetta.
May 26 21:47:22 <zooftop>	Arnaldo laughs at the sight of this. "Oh if only Hendrix had come to see this, so what exactly happened, Seir?"
May 26 21:47:41 <Rosetta>	"You don't -sound- all that excited about it." Rosetta tilts her head.

May 26 21:48:18 <zooftop>	Gen, you can't see any snything that would suggest a Legendary snatched her undies.  So Jenks is not in the running.  Though your ghosts could probably pick up on any psychic residue.
May 26 21:48:27 <zooftop>	(You can.)

May 26 21:49:11 »»	Genevieve lets out Dessoir. "Want to play detective?"
May 26 21:51:29 <zooftop>	As Dessoir comes out, the cursed undies do too, landing on Seir's lap.  Kali snickers, but the more serious girl just blushes and scowls even more.  "I was perusing the merchandise booths to see if any of the actions of the guests seemed out of place, especially the youths and those in costume, when a cold breeze knocked a festival tent over and on top of me.  By the time I got out of it, my undergarments were missing."
May 26 21:51:46 <zooftop>	Dessoir sniffs around Seir's lower body, much to her embarassment.
May 26 21:51:53 <zooftop>	He seems to have picked up a scent, though.
May 26 21:52:20 <Genevieve>	"Sorry, Seir. Detective Dessoir is on the case, though. Let's roll out."
May 26 21:53:11 <zooftop>	"I guess we don't have to go get you a new pair with those here either," Kali teehees.  Seir throttles her as you start on out after Dessoir.
May 26 21:53:22 <zooftop>	Okay, Rosetta, she seems...
May 26 21:54:45 <Chase>	"Yeesh. Good luck, girls." he says to Kali and Seir.
May 26 21:54:49 »»	Chase follows Gen out.
May 26 21:54:53 <zooftop>	Well, it's like how you'd imagine Annette looking reading something like that alone.  Like she's looking at something DIRTY and feels slight shame in it interesting her.  She's standing in a way that'd make it hard to get a good look at her too, specially with the hood up.  She's also pretty darn tall.
May 26 21:55:05 <zooftop>	Something's weird about how she's acting, either way.
May 26 21:56:30 <Rosetta>	Does the white hooded outfit look like a particular character cosplay, or is it just normal clothes?
May 26 21:56:52 <zooftop>	It's more akin to cosplay.
May 26 21:57:16 <Chase>	"So what's been up with you lately?" he asks Lil, making conversation as they get out there.
May 26 21:57:55 »»	Rosetta pushes on her mask, then slips out her phone and zips right in front of the woman. "Hey. Could I get a picture?" Trying her best to act like any typical con-goer who's a bit too camera-happy with all the cosplays around.
May 26 21:58:18 <zooftop>	Dessoir floats out to the merch area himself, concealing himself as he scouts around.
May 26 21:58:37 <Lilith>	"Uh, you know, post-opening shenanigans with the Zone."
May 26 21:59:08 <zooftop>	He ends up finding the felled tent first, which is still being fixed up.  An older man in a frilly yellow dress is standing by, shaking his head.  Blonde wig as well.  "Goodness gracious, musta been quite a gust to knock that over."
May 26 21:59:27 <Lilith>	"Making sure everything's running smoothly and that the place is still in the black - which, thankfully, it is! Attendance didn't drop too sharply after the opening, and interest is still high thanks to the regional species exclusivity."
May 26 21:59:31 <Chase>	"Yeah, that definitely caused a-PFFFFFFFFF."
May 26 21:59:40 <zooftop>	Arnaldo chimes in on that, "You were lucky to not have to deal with her and her cousin's drunken, crying therapy session."
May 26 21:59:50 <zooftop>	He's already seen Mr. Jenks, so
May 26 22:00:13 <Lilith>	"......."
May 26 22:00:15 <Lilith>	"Welp."
May 26 22:01:11 <zooftop>	She looks your way and jumps at first when she sees your costume, Rosetta.  She raises the book she's holding in front of the lower portion of her face.  "U-um, sure..?"
May 26 22:01:27 <Genevieve>	"Certainly something." She looks over the fallen tent and toes at it.
May 26 22:02:12 <Chase>	"Nice costume." he says to Jenks, trying to hold back raucous laughter. He has a look at the tent.
May 26 22:02:19 <Rosetta>	"Aw, why so shy?" Does she look recognizable at all? And does she have cat ears under that hood?
May 26 22:02:20 <Chase>	"Man where the fuck is Saryx when you really need the guy."
May 26 22:02:31 <Genevieve>	"Witness protection."
May 26 22:03:04 <zooftop>	Dessoir sniffs around it a little, then looks really confused.  He floats back over and ponders where to head next.
May 26 22:03:37 »»	Genevieve nods at Dessoir. "What's up? Trail end?"
May 26 22:03:52 <Chase>	(Is Dessoir capable of speaking? If not I can aura him)
May 26 22:03:58 <zooftop>	"Heya folks, pity the kid couldn't make it.  Guess there's always next year, and there's worse reasons to miss something than your honeymoon."
May 26 22:04:00 <Chase>	<Yeah, what's up?> he asks Dessoir.
May 26 22:04:52 <zooftop>	He can't speak but he can respond to your aura, yes, <I'm confused what this smells like.  Its like Ice Type, but not exactly.  And hint of Psychic.>
May 26 22:05:28 <Chase>	"He says it kind of smells like Ice and Psychic types, whatever that means, but the ice part is kinda off."
May 26 22:05:54 <Lilith>	"...Jynx?"

May 26 22:05:59 <DiceMaid-9001>	Genevieve, Poketypes: 23 [6d6=2,4,5,5,1,1]
May 26 22:06:51 <zooftop>	Rosetta, you can't say you recognize her and she seems to have ears in the same place most people do, not like a Mi'qote.  She lowers the book a little. "W-well isn't it a little weird to like things like this..?" She watches you as you prepare a phone to take her picture.
May 26 22:07:17 <Rosetta>	"Oh, well, you don't have to put the book in the photo then."
May 26 22:07:44 <zooftop>	Gen, you think he's more confused what sort of supernatural power he's got a wiff of.  If he could compare it to someone like Anna or a Psychic he could probably figure it out.
May 26 22:08:48 <Genevieve>	"Let's see if we can find someone to help you with the palette. Where's Rose?"
May 26 22:09:09 »»	Genevieve picks Dessoir up by the scruff and carries him around.
May 26 22:09:32 <zooftop>	"O-oh, right." She didn't exactly mean in the scope of the picture, more in general, but hides it behind her back and tries to smile.  Alice wanders over and asks. "You want me to take it for you so you could stand in it or..?"
May 26 22:10:12 <Chase>	He bids goodbye to Jenks. "See you later, man. Guess we're on the trail again. Have fun, dude."
May 26 22:10:30 <Rosetta>	"Sure."
May 26 22:10:40 <zooftop>	Dessoir wriggles a few moments then calms down.  You guys could hunt around or just call her!
May 26 22:10:49 »»	Rosetta hands her phone to Alice.
May 26 22:11:20 »»	Genevieve chooses that moment to call Rose.
May 26 22:12:43 <zooftop>	This taller girl is extremely awkward about you standing in for a picture with her, like hover hands tier but she wouldn't have the guts to.  She just stares at Alice in a rather awkward fashion.  Alice gets the camera lined up as the call goes off.  "Damn it, seems Gen's callin' ya."
May 26 22:15:38 <zooftop>	She offers you back the phone, being it'd be a bit rude to answer for you.
May 26 22:15:54 <Rosetta>	"Uh, alright." Rosetta takes the phone. "Hi!"
May 26 22:16:36 <Genevieve>	"Hey, where are you? I need you and Anna to help Dessoir track a phantom panty thief."
May 26 22:17:17 <Rosetta>	"You what? Uh, I'm where all the merch is. Anna's dressed up as Elsa, if that'll help you find us."
May 26 22:17:34 <Genevieve>	"Sure, be right there."
May 26 22:17:48 »»	Genevieve hangs up and heads that direction.
May 26 22:18:09 »»	Rosetta scratches her head, then hands the phone back to Alice. Not too sure who this woman is just yet, but maybe having a photo will still help with something?
May 26 22:18:22 <zooftop>	Gen, Chase, Lil and co find Anna pretty easily after that!
May 26 22:18:53 <zooftop>	Alice takes the picture and returns your phone shortly before they arrive.
May 26 22:19:50 <Chase>	"Sup."
May 26 22:20:06 <zooftop>	The yuri fan continues to stare at Alice after the phone's returned, but eventually starts to shuffle off with her purchase.
May 26 22:20:36 »»	Genevieve holds Dessoir out to Anna. "Hey, girl. My ghost needs to sniff you, please."
May 26 22:20:48 <zooftop>	Anna and Kiara wave at you guys. "Hi Chase!  Things have been great today - ..."
May 26 22:20:54 <Lilith>	"...."
May 26 22:20:57 <Lilith>	"Smooth, Doc."
May 26 22:21:08 <zooftop>	She stares at Dessoir, not really knowing what the context of that was supposed to be.
May 26 22:21:19 <zooftop>	Dessoir sniffs her a few times, hrms, haws, and then shakes his head.
May 26 22:21:34 »»	Rosetta takes a look at her photo on her phone as the others arrive.
May 26 22:23:05 <zooftop>	Seems Alice left the flash on, which lets you get a better look at the girl's face, rather sharp features, long grey hair, and one hell of an awkward smile.  She looks like you made her day with this photo, and ruined her day with this photo, at the same time.
May 26 22:23:12 <Genevieve>	"He says the guy we're tracking smells Ice-like and Psychic-like." She squints and scans the crowd for any of the other magical girls.
May 26 22:23:29 <zooftop>	Well, there's Annette, Garcia, Alice, and Rosetta standing in close proximity to each other.
May 26 22:23:40 <zooftop>	Dessoir struggles as he tries to break free and sniff around.
May 26 22:24:17 <Chase>	"Who's this chick?" he asks, looking at the photo. "...eh, anyway."
May 26 22:24:47 »»	Genevieve sets the ghost down.
May 26 22:25:01 <Rosetta>	"I dunno, at first I thought it might be Steel Wing hiding her ears in a hood, but it was sort of a shot in the dark. Convenient thing at an anime con though is you've got a great excuse to ask anyone around for a photo and it isn't weird."
May 26 22:25:13 <zooftop>	He floats over and sniffs Annette first.  She doesn't seem super phased by it, probably because she knows what he's doing.
May 26 22:25:22 <zooftop>	Garcia and Alice seem pretty weirded out as he sniffs them.
May 26 22:25:34 <zooftop>	When he gets to Rosetta, he sniffs, snaps his finger, and nods, pointing at her.
May 26 22:25:37 <Chase>	"We're looking for someone stealing panties or something while waiting for the big events to happen." he shrugs. "We're following a psychic residue trail or something."
May 26 22:25:45 <Rosetta>	"Uh...?"
May 26 22:25:47 »»	Chase squints at Rosetta.
May 26 22:25:57 <Rosetta>	"What now?"
May 26 22:26:00 <zooftop>	Arnaldo raises an eyebrow. "I shoulda known it was you."
May 26 22:26:02 <Chase>	"Come to think of it, they mentioned a Wind."
May 26 22:26:36 <zooftop>	Everyone stares at Rosetta.
May 26 22:26:41 <Genevieve>	"Rose didn't snatch Seir's panties. Chase, translate."
May 26 22:27:01 <Rosetta>	"What? I didn't steal any panties. C'mon you can tell when people are lying, right?"
May 26 22:27:07 <Chase>	He just grins. Lie Detector, sure.
May 26 22:27:30 <zooftop>	She's not lieing.
May 26 22:27:33 <Chase>	"Yeah, she's clean." <Alright, what's the deal, Dess?>
May 26 22:28:28 <zooftop>	<Whodunnit smells like Unown.  Was something else here...>
May 26 22:28:37 <zooftop>	He wanders over to the yuri mangas and starts to sniff around.
May 26 22:29:06 <Chase>	"Unown... a rune master?" he says quietly.
May 26 22:29:10 <Chase>	"This got interesting quick."
May 26 22:29:53 <zooftop>	Arnaldo sighs. "If Grant's master scheme is to steal undies I think I might just drown myself."
May 26 22:30:02 <Chase>	"So who's up for luring the thief out?"
May 26 22:30:44 <Rosetta>	"Nose goes." Rosetta puts her finger to her nose. "Not like what I'm wearing makes it easy anyway. You want someone in a skirt for bait, yeah?"
May 26 22:30:47 <Genevieve>	"How? Leave some poor girl out to get her panties snatached off?"
May 26 22:31:02 <Break>	".....not it. Notitnotitnotitnotit. Nooooot it."
May 26 22:31:03 <Chase>	"Well, ideally we'd catch them before the snatch, but."
May 26 22:31:07 <Rosetta>	"...Can we make Jenks look more womanly?"
May 26 22:31:21 <Chase>	"I don't think anyone would be fooled."
May 26 22:31:27 <Chase>	"Nice try though."
May 26 22:31:55 <zooftop>	Dessoir seems to be looking around near where the hooded woman was standing, and starting to wander around.
May 26 22:32:11 <Chase>	"I guess it's possible he's just got a couple of pervs in his corps."
May 26 22:32:31 »»	Genevieve follows Dessoir around. "Did we just miss them?"
May 26 22:32:43 »»	Chase looks at Dessoir. "There was someone there a moment ago, right? ...The person you photo'd?"
May 26 22:33:27 »»	Rosetta takes out her phone again. "Yeah. You think she did it? I mean, she was being all awkward about the yuri manga here, but..." Rosetta shrugs.
May 26 22:33:40 <Rosetta>	"...Shouldn't we be focused on finding Steel Wing?"
May 26 22:33:55 <Chase>	"Finding Grant's people is part of this too, don't forget."
May 26 22:34:17 <Chase>	"But yeah, that's a thing. I didn't see her over in the presentation room. Maybe she's hanging near the stage area?"
May 26 22:34:19 <Genevieve>	"We've been keeping an eye out for her. I can't imagine they'll want her here much before she's set to go on."
May 26 22:34:55 <zooftop>	Dessoir floats up a bit, and finally just points in the distance, at the still being prepared stage.  Behind it is a few temporary trailerhouses.
May 26 22:35:06 <Rosetta>	"In that case, do we have people watching the entrances? Including for the special guests? I doubt they've had time to set up a portal network in here."
May 26 22:35:12 <Chase>	"...wonder if we could use the Linkshell to point the way towards her somehow."
May 26 22:35:36 <Rosetta>	"We could try."
May 26 22:35:38 <Chase>	"Oh hey, Dess has a direction."
May 26 22:35:58 »»	Genevieve starts walking towards the stage. "Look at that, two Bird-Types, one Rock Throw."
May 26 22:36:39 <Chase>	"We probably should go to see the stage before we perform anyway, right?" he says to Kiara and Alice.
May 26 22:36:58 <Chase>	He starts walking.

That said we should be able to get by the stage at least without weirding anyone out..." He starts on over as well.

May 26 22:39:52 <Genevieve>	"Dess, cloaking mode and see if you can find her."
May 26 22:41:39 <zooftop>	Dessoir fades on out after you command him to, and Arnaldo shrugs, "Guess you aren't.  Either way this is getting weird."
May 26 22:43:26 <zooftop>	As you guys get closer to the stage, the merch and food boths start to thin out a little.  The concert grounds aren't really clear, because a lot of people are loitering on them with foldy chairs and such as they talk and drink.  Roll me perception, guys.

May 26 22:45:18 <zooftop>	Chase and Gen, as you guys get close you overhear a really interesting conversation from two convention goers.
May 26 22:45:56 <zooftop>	"Hey, did you see that tall dude with the blue makeup and stuff earlier?  Was a pretty crazy costume, got no idea who he's dressed as, but was some pretty serious work."
May 26 22:46:10 <zooftop>	"Who?  I think I missed this."
May 26 22:46:48 <zooftop>	"He's this really tall guy - can't miss him.  Saw him over by the stage earlier, maybe it's part of this Steel Wing chick's performance?  Some sorta costume for that?"
May 26 22:46:56 <Chase>	Does this sound like one of the fantasy races?
May 26 22:47:02 <Chase>	Eorza races rather
May 26 22:47:10 <Genevieve>	Sounds like a roe!
May 26 22:48:14 <Chase>	He just nods over at the others.
May 26 22:48:28 <zooftop>	Rosetta, you spot the hooded woman sitting down at a table by one of the footbooths here - seems she bought a box of pocky and isn't sure what it is, exactly.
May 26 22:48:43 <zooftop>	It does, Chase, but it's not really descriptive enough to pin exactly what it is.
May 26 22:49:21 <Rosetta>	"Hey guys." Rosetta nods slightly in that direction without making it obvious.
May 26 22:50:14 <Genevieve>	"Sounds like that's your cue, Captain."
May 26 22:50:49 <Chase>	He glances. Huh, there's the chick. He hrms and keeps his distance, looking more like he's checking out the stage and stretches, casually.
May 26 22:52:14 <Chase>	He does check out the hooded chick with aura real quick though.
May 26 22:52:52 <zooftop>	She closes the box back up, and stands.  She starts walking toward the trailers behind the stage.  <Was it coincidence they look so much alike?> is what she's wondering.
May 26 22:54:33 <Chase>	<Got some surface feelings.> he auras over to Rose and Gen. <She didn't know who Alice was... think she was comparing her to Steel Wing.>
May 26 22:55:01 <Genevieve>	"So we're not quite boned yet."
May 26 22:55:38 <zooftop>	If you just watch her, she walks up to one of the trailers, unlocks the door and enters.
May 26 22:56:15 <Rosetta>	"Well, let's stop her before she reports that, yeah? We got people authority as con staff for a reason, didn't we?"
May 26 22:58:07 <zooftop>	Alright.  Arnaldo is close by enough to bluetooth something in after you point the woman out.  One of the crew by the stage instead intercepts her and asks her to come along with them.  You see her get led behind the stage, as oppose to her reaching the trailers.
May 26 22:59:00 <zooftop>	"You heroes wanna handle this?" Arnaldo asks you.
May 26 22:59:40 <Chase>	"Better to go in a small group I guess." he strokes his chin. "What's the approach?" he asks Rose and Gen.
May 26 23:00:29 <Rosetta>	"You wanna question her, Chase? In the meantime, the rest of us can poke around these trailers and see what else we can find out about their op here, maybe see which one of them Steel Wing's in now."
May 26 23:00:33 <zooftop>	"Sounds like that Yanala girl just got here too - I'll send her over in a bit since she's nimble and sneaky enough, but let's keep this quiet as we need to."
May 26 23:00:36 »»	Genevieve shrugs. "We don't strictly have proof that she's snatching panties. But she's close enough to Steel Wing that we should probably detain her."
May 26 23:01:07 <Chase>	"Question her how, exactly? Remember I'm just here to play. Are we exposing ourselves then detaining her?"
May 26 23:02:01 <Rosetta>	"If we detain her for questioning, how does that expose us? We can't let her go now, remember? If we do, she'll report to them about Alice."
May 26 23:02:28 <Rosetta>	"And if she never reports back, you're never exposed. Simple enough, yeah?"
May 26 23:03:52 <Chase>	"Fair enough I guess." Man, this is awkward.
May 26 23:04:32 <Chase>	"But what are we focusing on here? Steel Wing? Grant's activities? The panty thieving?" he says dryly.
May 26 23:04:45 »»	Rosetta taps her jacket. "Hey ZODIAC, can you feel if any of these trailers has Steel Wing inside?"
May 26 23:06:33 <zooftop>	He looks over them, then makes a nodding motion.
May 26 23:06:55 <Rosetta>	"Which one?"
May 26 23:07:25 <zooftop>	He seems unsure which exact one, from this distance at least.
May 26 23:07:28 <Rosetta>	"Maybe we can bullshit something like requesting an early backstage access for curious con guests."
May 26 23:07:28 <Chase>	"You know, could just do one after the other."

May 26 23:08:31 <Rosetta>	"If the linkshell doesn't work, I think I'll just try to snoop around closer to the trailers til ZODIAC gets a solid ping on one. Sound good?"

May 26 23:12:23 <zooftop>	<Hm? Is that...Violet?> her voice rings back.  In the past when you tried this on Earth, it didn't seem to work, but if she's actualyl here...  <Been a while!  How you doin'?>

My own band's around too, and there are some people I think would be really interested in meeting you. It's got to be better than being cramped up in your dressing room, right?>
May 26 23:17:52 <Chase>	<Maybe we can grab something to eat, too.>
May 26 23:19:32 <~zoofman>	<Oh that sounds fun...if not for the Adventurers they got policing my door.  Dooon't think I'd be able to sneak by them, honestly.>

May 26 23:22:12 <Chase>	He looks over at the others. "She's being kept on guard in her quarters. She's totally willing to ditch the place for a bit, but we need to do something about the guys making sure she don't go nowhere."

May 26 23:26:41 <Rosetta>	"Hey, wouldn't it just be the trailer she was heading towards before she got stopped?"
May 26 23:26:51 <Genevieve>	"Or we can try that."

May 26 23:31:22 <~zoofman>	There's a few trailers set up back here, and staffers walking around working on the sound systems and light systems.  The woman you had dragged off isn't visible at the moment, but you're sure they took her some place back here.

May 26 23:33:38 <Chase>	So, which trailer did it look liike she was approaching? Or should we go find the other chick anyway?

May 26 23:36:06 <Chase>	That first bit was a legit question
May 26 23:38:07 <~zoofman>	You guys could pick out which trailer she was approaching, if that was what you meant.  It has some wiring coming from it and a little antenna on the top.
May 26 23:38:18 <~zoofman>	No windows, pretty bare bones office trailer.
May 26 23:40:05 »»	Chase just walks up and knocks. No need to go too stealth with this.

May 27 00:02:38 »»	Chase leans down to check on her.
May 27 00:02:42 <Rosetta>	"Hey, what happened?"
May 27 00:03:19 <~zoofman>	"Perhaps you should take her to the infirmary?"

May 27 00:05:27 <~zoofman>	You see his golden eyes glimmer for a moment, and you get the feeling this guy is not only a Psychic, he's actively fucking with your heads.  He hasn't tried anything on you yet, cause your Iron Mind hasn't triggered.
May 27 00:07:24 <Chase>	He starts to pick Gen up either way, it's kind of undignified to just leave her there on the ground.
May 27 00:07:59 <Rosetta>	How many people are around here right now? Are Arnaldo and the others anywhere in sight?
May 27 00:09:34 <~zoofman>	It's suddenly gotten really clear in the immediate area, or at least you can't immediately see anyone.  You are in line of sight of Arnaldo though, he's off in the distance observing.
May 27 00:10:25 <Chase>	Still, he's never seen Gen collapse after doing that kind of thing... He's kind of conflicted.

May 27 00:13:04 <Chase>	We'll say he can be.
May 27 00:13:35 <Rosetta>	<He's a psychic. He probably bounced it back the way I can.>
May 27 00:13:51 <Chase>	<What? Wait... shit, that means...>

May 27 00:18:53 <Rosetta>	Well, okay, I'm going to assume he didn't turn back to look at Rosetta then. She's gonna push her tranq gun right up to his back, hidden under her trench coat, and fire off a shot. She's ready to magic coat if it comes to that.

May 27 00:21:06 <~zoofman>	One, the door to the trailer swings open as an armored woman steps out.  She's a Mi'qote with red hair, an eyepatch over one eye, Easternish armor, and a katana sheathed at her side.
May 27 00:22:52 <~zoofman>	Another individual approaches, or two, rather.  The hooded woman before is being led by a....god what is that thing.
May 27 00:23:02 <Chase>	"Oh, there you are. You should answer doors when people knock, you know."
May 27 00:23:18 <Chase>	He lets Gen out of his arms after she's woken up.
May 27 00:23:55 <~zoofman>	Easily eight feet tall, muscular frame, blue fur, a large, powerful hands, a battle axe the size of Chase, the face of a Luxray and a horn on its head as well.  A hulking, humanoid race.  You think you saw one on the other side.  A Ronso.
May 27 00:24:13 <Chase>	"Oh shit, they went and got her out of detaining."
May 27 00:24:34 <Chase>	"...Not the one we should probably be worried about though."

May 27 00:40:46 <Genevieve>	<Go hot.>

May 27 00:44:10 <Rosetta>	"Really? Well, why don't we just all forget about this then?" Rosetta drops the pokeball at her side telekinetically and gives Minuetta a nod. Memory Wipe. Let's just remove the last five minutes.
May 27 00:44:24 <~zoofman>	She's got one hand on her sword, and is slowly backing up the stairs to the trailer.
May 27 00:44:41 <Rosetta>	<This will take about a minute to do, and I'll just tranq her so she thinks she passed out. Think you can get Steel Wing out in that time?>
May 27 00:48:02 <~zoofman>	The elf girl really seems to just want back into the trailer as well, given she was sent to get snacks for Steel Wing.  STONE FAITA is indeed leaving, though.

May 27 01:10:25 <Chase>	"Uhhh. Sorry. Yeah, we just put your guards to sleep. Kind of screwed up being subtle about it."
May 27 01:10:52 <Chase>	"They're probably gonna be pissed when they wake up, but hey, nothing gained without a little risk, huh?"
May 27 01:12:27 <Chase>	"I was hoping getting you out of here would be a little easier. I don't think you're gonna have to worry about getting into trouble at least. Anyway, you still okay with coming?"
May 27 01:12:38 <~zoofman>	"Yeesh.  Awkward.  They won't be happy when they wake up, I bet...granted I guess if I don't come back till after the show it'd be sort of moot."  She hops up.
May 27 01:13:22 <~zoofman>	"Yup, been cooped up here a while. Not to mention it'd be really weird to just stay around now, after..." She pokes her head out to see them just laying in the snow. "Oh, it's snowing?  No wonder it's cold."
May 27 01:13:26 <Chase>	He passes the box of pocky or whatever the white mage had over to Steel Wing in the meantime.
May 27 01:13:36 <Chase>	"Here, this is what she got you."
May 27 01:13:51 »»	Rosetta texts Arnaldo. "What's the situation? We've got things sorta under control here."
May 27 01:14:00 <Chase>	"Haha, yeah. Welcome to Shiverwing. This isn't that far from where I grew up, relatively. Let's get out of here."
May 27 01:14:33 <Chase>	He totally helped bring the guards in so they'd at least be warm and unconscious
May 27 01:14:56 <~zoofman>	"We caught a few undercover Sons before they could act, but they backed off suddenly.  WTF did you guys do?" he asks.
May 27 01:15:33 <Rosetta>	"We've got Steel Wing. Where's Alice, and is she ready to meet?"
May 27 01:15:37 <Rosetta>	That was a text
May 27 01:15:40 <~zoofman>	Steel Wing's following you guys, after getting a hooded coat.
May 27 01:16:17 »»	Genevieve has Athena turn into Dessoir for a bit, so she's got double Sableye going on.
May 27 01:16:59 <~zoofman>	The double ghosts grin at Steel Wing, who stares at them, "Are those...actual...Pokemon?"
May 27 01:17:24 <Chase>	"Surprise! They're real."
May 27 01:17:33 <~zoofman>	Arnaldo replies, "Yeah I guess she is - you bringing the VIP over or what?"
May 27 01:17:51 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, there's a lot to explain."
May 27 01:17:52 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, get someplace secure set up for us, will ya?" Rosetta texts back.
May 27 01:17:54 <Chase>	"You're about to learn a lot about the world and the universe that you didn't know before. This really is gonna be out of this world. Time to live a little~"
May 27 01:20:09 <~zoofman>	Arnaldo sends an 'affirmative' as Steel Wing walks with you guys across the field, and back indoors to where the little security room was.  She's pretty excited by all the sights and smells, but her only real comment on the way over is, "Man there's a lot of humans here. Weird."
May 27 01:20:56 <Rosetta>	"Oh and send someone to the trailer we were at to collect those guards we knocked out."
May 27 01:20:57 <Genevieve>	"A little racist right?"
May 27 01:21:03 <Rosetta>	That was a text too whoops
May 27 01:21:17 <Chase>	"Unlike Eorza and a lot of Hydaelyn, humans are the majority here, it's true." he responds. "Still plenty of variety though, plenty to see, plenty to do."
May 27 01:21:23 <~zoofman>	When you guys get inside, and enter the room, there's still some people working on security in here, but you also see Alice in a little temporary side room.
May 27 01:22:37 »»	Chase heads to Alice!
May 27 01:22:47 <~zoofman>	The second they see each other, they freeze up and stare, before pointing and saying in unisen. "Holy shit it's...me?"
May 27 01:22:53 <Chase>	"Aaand now get ready because this ride's just begun."
May 27 01:22:54 <Rosetta>	"There's someone we think you'd like to meet here." Rosetta follows in.
May 27 01:23:12 <Chase>	"Alice? Meet Steel Wing. Steel Wing, meet Alice."
May 27 01:23:56 <Chase>	"There is a hell of a lot Grant hasn't shared with you or Eorza at large."
May 27 01:24:01 »»	Rosetta returns to her phone. "Let us know if the situation changes out there. In hindsight I probably should've set up some runes."
May 27 01:24:03 <Chase>	"And all this? Is just the tip of the iceberg."
May 27 01:24:10 <~zoofman>	The two approach one another, and look each other over from various angles.  They pinch each other's cheeks, as if confirming the other actually exists and this isn't a dream.
May 27 01:24:39 »»	Rosetta looks up from her phone. "That's actually kinda adorable."
May 27 01:24:50 <Chase>	He smiles pretty widely watching this.
May 27 01:24:55 <Genevieve>	"Huh, I thought they might just voip together."
May 27 01:25:05 <Chase>	"Nah, this is going to be bigger, Gen."
May 27 01:25:17 <Chase>	"The show hasn't even started."
May 27 01:25:33 <Chase>	"And when it times to play, we're going to rock the hell out."
May 27 01:25:58 »»	Rosetta goes quiet after her remark, letting Alice and Steel Wing figure things out in peace.
May 27 01:26:19 <Genevieve>	"Saving the day with the power of music. Kill me."
May 27 01:26:30 <Chase>	"Expect anything different from Verve and Rebellion?"
May 27 01:27:03 <~zoofman>	"Hey, hey," Alice goes. "You got cat ears and a tail right?  And a weird ass birth mark on your back?"  "Um...yes?"  "Take that coat off and lemee see!"  "Well aren't you a little foreward?"  "Oh come on, I'm not trying to hit on you, that'd be weird.  I'm just curious."
May 27 01:27:42 <Chase>	He laughs, watching this.
May 27 01:29:44 <~zoofman>	They banter back and forth a while and compare stories about where they are from, what their family is like.  Though when they get to more private things, like comparing actual birth marks and more intimate stories, they look at you three in unisen and try to nudge you out of the room.
May 27 01:30:19 »»	Genevieve puts up her hands and leaves.
May 27 01:30:23 <Chase>	"Sure, sure, sorry." he slips out.
May 27 01:30:52 <~zoofman>	"C'mon, guys, I know you've had a lot at stake with all this, but I wanna just have some 'me time' to talk this stuff out.  We'll get back to you in a bit, alright?" Alice says as she gets ready to throw a divider curtain over the door.
May 27 01:31:11 <Rosetta>	"Alright, alright. But hey, Alice, don't forget why you two are meeting, yeah?"
May 27 01:31:13 <Chase>	"No problem."
May 27 01:31:17 »»	Rosetta warps on out.
May 27 01:33:28 <~zoofman>	"I know, I know." She closes the curtain as the two start to discuss things.  A few hours later, they do come out together, and that's where we'll pick up next time.
May 27 01:33:34 »»	Genevieve finds somewhere to sit and play Bejeweled with the Sableyes, which may be like crack to Dessoir.
