As soon as the car was stopped, Talia would turn to The Finger to make sure their plans were on the same page: that they would enter the nightclub together, per password given at the front, and then proceed to do their own thing (as intuition leads) once inside. After things had been agreed upon, she would ready herself for the walk to the location, all the while listening intently to the news over the earpiece. Grabbing her bag, which discreetly held her sashes and a couple other necessities, she would adjust the large overcoat once more to ensure she was covered. Then she would make the walk side by side with him until they got closer to the front entrance, whereupon she would smile apologetically and link arms with him, waiting for the chance that they could both be able to be let in, due to his knowledge of an apparent passcode that he possessed.

Sorry! Family stuff happened and things got busy for a time and I lost the ability to come on yesterday as hoped. @Searat I was looking for ic tips of just something maybe Manny had thought they'd be doing. But mainly was just making sure I didn't take too much liberty in regard to how you had planned the story to go haha I guess I mostly needed Leophael to respond so all good!

@Leophael thank you! Talia would also do either (stick as a duo or break off to gain more info separately, she does not drink alcohol so would not be interested in the bar for that and I'm guessing The Finger would ;) haha) So yeah, we will enter together and then break off separately to do our own scouting. I will write my post now that I have a moment and we'll go from there. Thanks again! And I understand the work bleeding into life stuff, sorry to hear.

Hey Leophael, I did not want to assume that I know what you're going to do as The Finger... Is your character and Talia just going into the nightclub arm-in-arm posing as coming together? Her as your lady of the evening? Do we plan to go off on our own once through the door? I'm new at writing roleplay with other people involved and leery (and nervous) assuming, in my post, the actions that you'll do. Thought maybe if there were some specifics to discuss, we could do it here?
And also, obviously if Manny has any tips ic or Searat ooc, that is perfectly fine.

Are we all able to hear what Manny says to Bob and vice versa? And does that go for anyone that has the audio device in their ear if so?

Talia watched the Jersey Devil leap out of the window and apparently take his own ride to their meeting place. She looked to The Finger and half-laughed, kind of nervously, "Well, though I can suspend myself from these sashes and swing around like I'm on a trapeze, I think I'll vote for the car that Manny is suggesting. And... I am going to get in it the normal way," She'll laugh nervously again and then turn to go back out the apartment door and down to where the car was waiting for them. All the while, her mind conjuring up images and the feeling of leaping through the air like the Jersey Devil, but in her own way. Could she ever come up with something like that herself? Maybe if she knew the layout of the city better... If offered to get into the car, she will and then will try to make sure she understands the plan for when they arrive. Was she still playing as Cinderella, holding onto his arm? The typical, pretty lady all dressed up and acting flirtatious? It was a good thing that she was a performer because this would take some Convincing acting.

@Leophael Haha nice! I try to get a post in early mornings and if I can't do that, then yes right before bed. Music HAS to be playing in the background... instrumental for sure. ;) If not, I have the same struggle you do.

Talia watched as The Finger went inside first and then she took the shield piece from Manny with a little hesitation. She greeted Jersey Devil at the window, instantly looking for him there with her quick eyesight and finding she was correct as to guessing his location. She tried to be friendly and welcoming to him and Manny, as she had to The Finger. Then she noticed a problem.

As she watched The Finger and Jersey Devil place their shield on, she realized she had quite forgotten to think of how she would attach her own. She chided herself for a moment for forgetting to plan for such an important piece; she was not used to accommodating for anything extra than her own outfit and the sashes. She considered for a moment, wondering if it could be placed on her shoes, which were more like the typical, flat dance shoes (though with some extra ankle and foot support than those akin to ballet shoes) and decided against it. There was the possibility of tying an extra piece of sash material (she did like to keep those around just in case) around her waist and then hooking the shield piece to it that way... She decided to try that and as she opened her coat up to place the other piece of sash snugly about her waist and the shield pinned or buckled into it securely, she looked up to see if the others protested or looked uncertain about her choice. If they did, she'd sigh and ask them if they had any better suggestions. She rolled her eyes inwardly as she prepared and braced herself for their no doubt lewd comments if she had to do that.

“Aww..” Talia couldn’t help but say as she felt his fear and felt her own compassion for him and what lay deeper behind his words. She had suspected as much from people like him… she’d seen them and met them often in her times in performances. A lot of types of people were drawn to those, whether for enjoyment or distraction or to get laid with one of the dancers afterwards. Yeah, she was no stranger to understanding how that went. “Hey,” she added quickly to change the mood and also keep things lighter. “I’ve got your back, too, alright? Each one of us should do that for each other honestly. Even the kid with the claws and gas mask surely wouldn’t object to that. We’ve got this.” She’d smile encouragingly to him.
