Angel chuckled when he overheard who would be in his group for the stakeout. Once the communicator was slipped into his hands, he chucked it up and caught it shortly, as if it were a die, rather than the fragile thing it was. "Not that I mind or anything, but you two don't really like to split up, huh?" During the exhibitions, exiting Tobias' gala, and even at his own manor, he had always seen those two at close vicinity. Having them together with him a second time only made him laugh at what appeared to be a coincidence. He put his hands up in a playfully defensive manner as he had done before. "Hahaha, don't worry. I won't pry."

He stretched. "Seems like we've got some time to relax before we take our spots. The West Wing's pretty sweet if you guys are into sunsets, I guess." Then he leaned back against a column, eying the communicator, rather disinterestedly. "Anything you guys wanna do before we split? I'd offer another tour, buuuut that seems to be out of the way right now."

Opposite to Angel, Amy twitched her lips when she learned who'd be in her team. Lucien was fine, if not a bit talkative (though nothing outtalked Trixie), plus he had brought her food that morning, but Tobias... While it was generous of him to use his riches to help, she absolutely did not look forward to working together with him. She may have been drunk on the dance floor the previous night, but she clearly remembered him spouting some accusations at them for trying to help. If she had to listen to any more of his bullshit, and they weren't in the middle of a mission, she would have considered getting drunk a second night in a row.

Amy set her thermos atop one of the tables, seeing as her coffee had finally finished. She looked to Lucien and Tobias and gave a firm nod, acknowledging that she understood them to be her groupmates for the evening, though she said nothing.

"Whoo!" Trixie cheered as she tackled Lute from behind, wringing her arm around his neck and shoulder (and thus bringing him down to her level). "Echo and Wondergirl unite to kick some baddie butt! We got this, yeah? Yeah? Oh man, we are going to [i]rock[/i] this night."

When she let go of Lute, nearly causing him to drop to the ground, she whipped out her two uzis from her butt-pockets. It felt so good to have them in hand again. She held them up forward and winked at Rose, before setting them back in their pseudo-holsters. She then motioned to the belt of pouches around her waist. "See, Miss Rosy! I got all our baddie-stopping gear here with me!"

Then she leaned over to Lute, elbowing him gently and whispering very loudly. "And maybe we can take his own stuff and use his gizmos against them. That'd be sooo cool, don't you think!? I am so [i]ready[/i] for this!" She snickered maliciously. Trixie had been so fixated on that idea - stealing the stealer's stuff - ever since they knew they were up against a super flashy crook. "What's that you said last night though? You don't seriously think he's gonna turn into a monster or something, do you? Wait, you said it was - wait, how did the hero stop the baddie after he transformed?? Cuz if this guy transforms... [i]tell me your secrets."[/i]
