Assemble

We're just regular teens, and that's how we go.
Jin followed Guy out the back, listening for something happening out front.

Dalia found a new rooftop and listened for the sirens.

They see the flashing of sirens as Guy leaves through the back gate and down the alley, other people can be seen who had the same idea.

===================================

No sirens are present near Dalia except the flashing ones from down the street.

===================================

Taiyo places the order 'cause I don't want to drag this out longer with questions about who wants what.

Taiyo: "It'll be about fourty minutes."

===================================

Azuma: "Eleven thirty, Tuesday night at the docks. The Tyranno Boys are doing something there. Something big."

"...I see. I apologize."

*So she retracts the spear to its shortened form & holds it idly by her side.*

"My experiences have made me...wary. Do you know if this will lead to Raptor, or are you just requesting backup?"
=============================
V"Cool, thanks."

A"Yes, thank you very much."

T"Thank you, for a 3rd time."

*She looks back & forth from Aroma & Ven, who are both staring at her. She takes half a step back & tenses her shoulders slightly, sighing.*

T"Um...if you don't mind my asking...do you want--ah--to split the cost?"

*Eve and Cameron follow warily*

Eve:<(Back to my place?)>

Taiyo: "If you want. It's not a big deal."

===================================

Mimiru: "Everyone'll be there."

Azuma: "They're packing military firearms. Raptor apparently has connections. Tuesday's an arms shipment. Are you in?"

*Her grip on her spear tightens.*

<Absolutely. I think I can also get Grapevine. If you haven't heard of her, she's a new mutant who controls plants. Sort of a hippy, but very powerful.>
================================
T"Ah--how about I pay for half?"

Jin slowed down and took a good look around the back for anybody obviously taking or exchanging drugs.
"Maybe," Jin whispered. "I'm a little disappointed we have to abandon this so quickly."

Dalia made for her house at a walk, keeping an eye out for abnormal activities as usual.

Eve:<(Me too. All we got to see was some idiots get drunk.>

Azuma: "Right then. Do you have a name?"

===================================

Taiyo: "If you want. It's no big deal, really. You're my guests after all."

===================================

Some ways away behind them, two people are passing a fatty back and forth.

===================================

In the office of Kyle Malkovich, Kyle's grip on a pen tightens to the point it snaps in two, ink spilling on his hand as he listens to Sun-Hi report on the Tempest shooting.

Kyle: "Why hasn't that smear been wiped off the face of the planet?!"

Sun-Hi: "The attacks are random, sir. And we're trying to deal with the labs being sabotaged."

Kyle: "Double the security at the labs. If anyone after eleven, shoot them. As for those punks, I want anyone seen with one of those visors shot where they stand. If that doesn't flush Reptar out--"

Sun-Hi: "Raptor."

Kyle: "Whatever. If that doesn't flush him, I'll drag him out of whatever hole he lives in and rip him apart myself. Grab your coat and three men. We're paying a visit to the Gadgeteer."

"No."
=====================
T"Which ever you would prefer."

*The others resign themselves to be here all night.*

Jin looked out for anything more shady than that.

*Eve rolls her eyes, not interested in what the morons were doing*

Azuma: "Oh, okay."

===================================

The doorbell rings and Taiyo scampers off to go answer it, returning a few minutes later with a couple pizza boxes.

===================================

Guy notices Jin gawking at everyone and everything.

Guy: "Everything all right?"

"Grapevine has been calling me Mighty Oaky. I do not like that name. Let me know if you think of something better. I will be working on the same."
=================================
A"It looks delicious."

T"Yeah. It was so nice of you to invite us out here like this. You know what? I think we should do this again. At our place."

*She puts an arm around Aroma.*

T"We've found one that we think we like. We're working on scheduling a tour. If we like what we see, we'll make an offer, & if we get it, then you're both invited to the house warming party."

Cameron:<Yeah, she's fine. Right Jin?>

"I'm cool, I just haven't been to many parties, or not ones that get broken up by sirens," Jin grinned. "It's exciting."

They both blink at the absurdity of such a name.

Mimiru: "Right...."

===================================

Taiyo: "That sounds wonderful."

Presumably having gotten plates to eat off of like civilized people and not animals despite any motifs, Taiyo puts whatever movie they decided on on.

===================================

Guy: "Sure...."

By some contrived coincidence, they come across someone that looks like a drug addled beatnik. Or maybe it's Dalia. It's Dalia.

The two passing the fatty back and forth begin giggling uncontrolably.

*Eve rolls her eyes*

Jin, we need to ditch Guy.

Cameron:<Poor guy.>

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to stock up on supplies."
=================================
*Aroma cuddles up to Taiyo & invites Thiera to sit on the couch next to them, which she does. Ven also sits on the couch if there is enough room. If not, then either the closest piece of furniture within view of the TV, or the floor in front of the couch.*

Dalia glanced at each of them as she passed, eyes lingering longest on Cameron and the giggling pair. She sneered, but was distracted when Jin cartwheeled ahead for no apparent reason.

Azuma: "Right."

============================

Taiyo cuddles up with Aroma and pets Ven because she's a good girl. Who's a good girl? Ven's a good girl.

============================

Not knowing what the hell is going on, Guy begins to go his own way. Praying they don't follow.

*So Luna fucks off.*
===========================
V"WHAT?"

A"Shh!"

V"Nononono, go back!"

*Ven seizes the remote & rewinds.*

V"...Wh--what? 'Okay, have to style my hair, guess I'll just phase it through my shoulder.'"

Dalia walked on. Jin glanced after Guy before strolling up to the guys smoking. She looked at Eve and Cameron, sending them her thoughts, I'm going to take another shot at this. Act casual and roll with it.

Taiyo: "I think I could do that."

The procedure was too complicated and Taiyo insteads phases a hand through Aroma's shirt and midsection.

===================================

As do they.

===================================

One guy looks at her, giggling. The other seems fairly indifferent to her.
