Assemble

"Is this it?" Grimm asked. "Me, the kid and the two ladies?"

"Eh, if you say so."

Police Officer: "The usual thing for this city. Now please make your way elsewhere, this street is likely to be blocked off for awhile."

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

It's a greeting and she says she's done work.

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

Jack: "Oh my, no. That'd be a fairly small team, don't you think?"

Jack flips through the pages on the clipboard.

Jack: "Hm, the last recruit present in this facility doesn't seem to be outside today. Quite a rambunctious fellow, goes by the name of Alchemist."

"Fine. I appreciate your help."

*It is difficult to tell if she is being sarcastic or not as she tries to find another route home.*
========================
Aroma: Hi. That's great, we're thinking of making an offer, & I wanted you to see it first. Do you think you can come by?

*Eve picks the most isolated computer and boots it up*

Cameron:<(So what are we going to do here anyway?)>

<(Send her a message. These things can be traced so...)>

Jin stood awkwardly behind Cameron and Eve, looking like she didn't know where to put her hands or feet, "So... what you gonna say?"

"I may have heard that name before," Grimm looked off-put. "On the news. A killer, yes?"

She has to take a longer route, going down some incredibly out of the way streets. If only she had a vehicle.

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

She says of course and asks when and where.

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

Jack: "That is what the local news had said when he was captured. Turned a man into tungsten. Pretty mild compared to what he did to an orderly while trying to sedate him. You ever see someone get turned into argon? Or was it krypton? Either way, it's possible you may breathed in one of the orderlies if he's still linger about."

Eve:<(No idea, I was hoping on of you two had a good idea.)>

*She finishes making the fake generic gmail account, creates a new message to Thiera's school email*

*Thiera checks her E-mail or whatever. Meanwhile, Aroma sends Taiyo the directions that they had downloaded off of the internet, with the accompanying text, "I'll meet you halfway." Luna ponders the thought of a Lunacycle as she continues on her way home.*

Grimm looked annoyed, finally letting his reaction show, "I have to work with that freak?"

"I don't know, should we meet her?" Jin suggested.

During her trek home, she hears gunshots coming from the direction that blocked off.

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

Taiyo sets off to meet Aroma.

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

Jack: "Doesn't everyone deserve a chance at redemption? Isn't forgiveness a big part of your religion? Why else did Christ die?"

*She finds somewhere secluded to don her costume.*
================================
*Aroma & Ven set off to meet Taiyo.*

Eve:<Uh, I'd like to work with her.>

*She start typing*

Dear Ms. Psyche...

"I know His will better than you, and I know the Alchemist deserves nothing less than a righteous execution," Grimm's voice turned pompous, before being dialled down again. "But if I must work with him... how do I know I'm not going to be betrayed and turned to argon?"

"Maybe don't be too friendly," Jin put in. "Or get your hopes up. What if she's some kind of trick? Like... Mutant Busters trick? We should be careful."

There is an alley where a bum is presently touching himself to a worn out and discarded nudie magazine, mumbling something about Russians and dinosaurs.

He pays her no attention as he's quite possibly blind in one eye.

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

Jack: "Presently he's restrained and sports a collar much like every other resident here. Even after the nanites have been injected into him, he'll still be under lock and key. Even under our employment, this is still a place of healing. And what you'll see here is quite mild compared to the inhabitants of Arclight. Guess where we'll be taking a field trip to next month?"

*Luna backs away slowly.*

Eve:<(That's a good point. What if I asked her about just being the Grapevine?)>

Cameron:<(She'd deny it? We'd have to catch her in the act.)>

"Hmph," Grimm did not offer a proper response.

"Yeah, sure."

On some sidewalk, Taiyo scampers up to Aroma, damn near knocking her over in a hug.

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

Further up the street is another alley that may have less in the way of fucked up shit.

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

Jack: "Well then, shall we?"

Jack goes inside, holding the door open for Grimm.

*She heads for that.*
=============================
*Taiyo reciprocates the hug, being saved only because Ven holds out her arm to prevent them from falling over. Caught up in the moment, she (Aroma, not Ven) goes in for a kiss.*

Eve:<(Then should we even bother to send the email?)>

*She looks up at Jin when she says this*

"I don't know," Jin furrowed her brow and shrugged. "You could say something like, 'I know your secret, meet me at some place or else', and just see what happens."

Grimm walked in, nodding at the gesture.

And they kiss. At some point when they break off, Taiyo licks Aroma's lips.

Taiyo: "I take it Thiera is already at the place?"

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

As fortold, the alley is bum free. Besides her bum which is flat and unflattering.

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

Jack leads Grimm through the facility, passing through a set of doors that requires a keycard scan and fingerprint scan.

The door leads to a hallway of heavy metal doors with slots at the bottom of them, meal trays sitting outside of them.

Jack: "This is where we keep the more dangerous residents. Sometimes they get moved to the more minimal security areas such as where you reside, but more often than not they remain here."

*Aroma looks quite shocked.*

A"Um...well...yeah. Uh...we left her to talk to the...what do you call it? Renter?"

V"I came so she didn't get jumped in some alley."
=================================
*She hides behind a dumpster, or something, & changes into her costume, starting with her mask.*

Eve:<What if she thinks we're threatening her?!>

Cameron:<Eve, clam down. Jin, could you type it up?>

"Eh, well, sure," Jin made a show of thinking about it before slowly tapping out, 'We know your secret. Meet us in the food court of the [name of mall]. We don't mean to threaten you but we will tell everybody if you don't come.'
"That okay?"

"May I ask why I'm being shown this?"
