"So... Who wants to bet that this place is glowing to the point that Justin himself could be hiding in the crowd?"

The truth was that Marrie was entirely out of her element here. She'd never been to a party, let alone a rave, and the large number of people was really bothering her. Not to mention the heat from being packed in with them. She tried to focus on the mission, but she was having trouble. Capturing someone who could use portals would be tough, and being one of Justin's biggest partners made the prospect even worse. Not to mention the likelihood that a number of people in the crowd were on his side if it came down to it.

Still, there had to be a way. Did raves have bar fights? Was that a thing that happened in the modern day? She glanced around as subtly as she could for cameras. She would expect there to be some if someone high-profile lived above the rave. Were the three who helped them inside even really on their side? She was grateful for them, but suspicious... Yeah, the environment was definitely making it hard to think.

Orion mentioned how she's built more for defense and healing, so Marrie replied in kind. "I'm sort of a... I guess you could say tactical loadout? I lean a bit towards offense though." Marrie hadn't really thought about team tactics before, so it wasn't on the top of her mind where she'd fit in best.

Marrie sat back in her chair and sighed. Vampire, knew that. Vampire that was progressively getting more likely to have GEMINI's descriptions of him be accurate. Lots of property, so that was a hit at least. Silk farms in China? She'd look more into that. Was it a money thing or was there a bigger picture? She probably wasn't going to be going to another continent to hunt him down anytime soon. She looked at Stacy and sighed again. Where was she going to get a human head?

Then came the results of the Knight of Tomorrow, whatever that meant. Probably a title of some kind, but who would come up with such a chunni title for someone? Was it esper related or something mundane? If she was being contacted by someone on Shimr, it probably was the former.

So are you up for another job or what? You should be happy I'm willing to hire you again!

Well that was annoying. She was almost tempted to refuse just because of the emojis. But a job was a job, and she needed to eat. Not to mention she needed a lead of some kind if she was going to be any help for Pac. She sent back a quick note: -Yeah. What exactly do you need? More info means better results-

She told Stacy's body to stay put and went out to the store, coming back with an outfit for her. A big coat, baggy pants, and a cheap but useful biker's helmet. Stacy wouldn't be able to go around without a head, but if she hid it, she should be fine. The ensemble was completed with a whiteboard and marker so she could communicate, at least somewhat. Now the question about what to do next became more difficult. She didn't feel right digging up a grave, so that was out. So was killing someone to get their... Wait a second. She sent a message to Tetrad on Shimr. -Hey, random question, do you know where to find a human head in an ethical manner? Any organ donor Espers who recently died that you know of or anything like that?- She hit send and waited for a response, going back to looking into Justin's local property ownership.

Elroy's pat on the head wasn't exactly reassuring, but it helped, a little. And yeah, he might have protected it too, but he would have been able to fight, right? Marrie might not be stupid, but she was weak. Too weak. That needed to change, and fast. That was what was on her mind when...

I wish you had busted that coin, but I guess there's no point in crying over spilled milk. At least you got paid, right? Not like I knew what Sofron was doing with it. If you wanna do me a big favor, see if you can get a hold of "The Knight of Tomorrow," If you can, I'll make it worth your while.

What. The. Hell. Who even typed like that anymore? WHO SENT THAT MANY EMOTICONS IN CURRENT YEAR!?
Whatever. Wasn't important. What was important is that she had what she could only consider a lead. The Bates left a moment ago, but Marrie and Stacie were still there. Attempts to heal what was presumably her head weren't working, so Marrie tried to give her a phone to type on. Sure, she didn't have a head to see with, but her body seemed somewhat intelligent. Maybe braille would work...? Regardless, after checking if Stacie's body was able to commune through a phone's text features, she'd offer to take her body with her and let it stay at her apartment until she could get her head back on straight. And it would give Marrie a chance to try to do some information hunting. "Justin Carnage" and "The Knight of Tomorrow", huh?

@BrokenPromise You mean ‘snake-like’ as in it moves like a whip? And yeah, Silver’s definitely a weird place because situational/conditional rank ups are not trashy, they’re just situational. Anyways, I’m sticking with the Style.

@OwO The manacles are meant to target wrists/ankles? Or does it expand magically to wrap around anything that it’s fired against. In regards to ‘destroy similar chain’, are you saying here something about destroying a chain with E rank defense? Or C rank?

@The World Is the retracting instant?


Takes a few seconds I figured. Maybe a full six seconds to go the full 16.5 feet and less depending on how much is out?
Let's try upgrading her instrument instead, then. Lemme know if this works.

Weeeellll, it might have become too powerful for silver now, but I specified some stuff and added a conditional. I'm guessing the conditional will need nerfed or removed, but doesn't hurt to try right?


Tentative new version. Upgraded her Leitmotif to Silver. Also replaced a now-useless note with Multi-Cast, so if that becomes base kit I'll have to change it to something else, assuming this gets accepted as a correct change.






Crystal found herself smiling slightly as Liam reminded her that sanity was worth chasing even in such a place. Though by the time they were all released from the festivities she was barely holding herself together. As soon as she could she left and made her way to her room, where she ripped open a pack of citrus flavored gum and shoved six sticks of it into her mouth. As the password was accepted she realized that she may, in fact, have a problem. It was rather like a smoking habit, actually. Good thing she didn't use nicotine gum, at least. When Rivka arrived she was met with a calm-ish Crystal, who already was beginning to re-panic as she realized she hadn't gotten the chance to show the other four her work yet. A quick request to keep as quiet as she could to Rivka and she went over the day in her mind. In hindsight, of course, it hadn't been so bad. But the thing that one lacks when looking into the past is the pressure of the moment, so it was to be expected that she felt that way.

As Rivka took her musical shower, Crystal retrieved her finished piece from the container she had taken it in, carefully unrolling it and placing it on her desk. She placed it upside down and wrote a small note on another piece of paper, placing it on top of the larger card stock. 'Wait until you hear the water start, then flip this over!' she wrote. Since she decided she desperately needed a shower after the day's events, that should give Rivka enough time to process what she'd see, especially since Crystal's showers tended to be long even without a sweat-inducing day beforehand.

The final image was a wonderfully colored Chrysina gloriosa shown from above with a slight angle, the viewpoint being from slightly to the left and front of the beetle, as it flew. It's shard was a light azure, a crystalline structure that seemed to be translucent to show the wings and body underneath. The rightmost wing was a brilliant sapphire with an amethyst '-' symbol embroiled in bronze flames, while the leftmost wing was a shining ruby with a matching violet '+' symbol that sat inside a invar tidal wave about to crash against the thorax. The thorax itself bore a mighty oak tree in silver, with its roots reaching to the bottom of the creature and its leaves spreading out across the very top of the elytra, bending with it being open. The entire scarab was slightly distorted, like viewing it through a haze of heat or under the effects of warped gravity. The body of the beetle was gold except for the emerald thorax and its eyes were a dark black, the darkest black Crystal could make it, to symbolize none other than the black holes of space. Above the scarab was the word 'Kepher' in different colored letters. She had gone a few different directions than she initially planned, but that was part of the creative process. She was satisfied that it was a good product. Now if only the others would accept it.

Having placed it and the note, Crystal gathered her things for a shower and waited for Rivka to finish hers. Once she did, she spat out the gum she'd been chewing since arriving at the dorm, replaced it with two fresh pieces of blueberry gum, and went in to take her own shower. It would be about an hour before she'd finish, in part because of her apprehension at showing Rivka the emblem, but even if it were rejected at least she'd feel better for being clean.

Marrie waited until the moment Justin disappeared from sight before picking up Pac-A-Fist's phone and pulling out her own. She quickly copied over Pac's information to her own phone, including her Shimr log-in info, which wasn't that hard to crack when she had open access to her email and phone number to verify a password change. It took a little while, but soon she had everything from Pac's Shimr account on her own phone. She sent out a message to every contact Pac-A-Fist had: "I've been kidnapped by Justin Carnage. My last known location was..." Marrie entered the coordinates of her location, as well as pictures of her surroundings, and the direction that Justin had gone. "Justin has two accomplices, a young girl in a school outfit and an elderly man in a butler outfit, and is carrying a wardrobe of some kind. He is able to teleport using various magical constructs, and while he has assured that no harm will come to me as long as I cooperate, he is incredibly dangerous. He is working for someone known as 'the hand.' If you find any information about me, send it in a group message to Elroy Bates and Regina Bates only. Do not send any information to me, as I will likely be monitored."

Marrie paused before hitting send. She thought about making a public post, but decided against it. There was more work to be done. She sat down and began contacting the few people she recognized from both her account and Pac's simultaneously. G.E.M.I.N.I.'s poster of the Justin raid info, Billy, or at least Tetrad, and the person who posted the mission for the coin to be destroyed, as well as all verified higher-ups of GEMINI and Maverick. She even added a few of the more well-known Freelancers. She sent each of them a copy-pasted message from both phones, in opposite order. Which is to say, as she sent the message to the first on the list as herself, she sent it to the last person on the list as Pac-A-Fist, and continued to do so until each of them had received both messages.

From herself logged in on Pac's phone, she sent the same message she had sent a moment ago, though with the first-person changed to third. From Pac-A-Fist's account on her own phone she sent: "I do not have my phone. My life is in your hands."

As soon as she finished sending to everyone on her list except the Bates, and as she began to paste the three messages together into one for them, they arrived in person.

”Hell yes! The snake was tough, I almost died, but Elroy took the shot like a champ! But it means his sister was able to pave Highway to Hell! You might wanna quench it before attaching it to her body. Anyway, hand over the coin! I’ll break that bastard in two myself!”

”Hey! Fog girl! Where is Trisha?” Elroy locked eyes with Marrie, but she didn't have time to look back at him. She hit SEND on her combined three messages on bother phones, one to each of the siblings, as she walked over to him, her eyes downcast. She went over to Stacy's body and helped it stand up and walk over to Regina. As soon as she got it to her she cast a melody on Stacy's head. With that, she sat down on the floor and took a deep breath. Unfortunately it still smelled like sewer, so she gagged a bit, but she would be fine. She needed time to figure out what she was going to do to make things right, but at least she'd increased her contact list. If Pac really had "power and influence" like Justin said, then she would use that to her advantage too.
