Kazumi: "Wh-What are you doing?! Baking a cake is all about balance! You have to put the right amount of each ingredient in or it won't turn out right. You can't serve me- I mean, you can't serve the Princess a really dense or overly sweet cake! Here, I'll make the mix, you just think about how we should flavour it."
She starts whipping up a sponge cake mix.
>>15826967Faith: "Whatever."
You see Clarissa wander out of the base to see what the commotion is.
Clarissa: "Oh, hello there. What's going on?"
Faith: "Oh, you're the scientist lady, right?"
Clarissa: "Hey, I have a name!"
Faith: "Sure. Well, this stuff's for you. We need you to give us access to the archives."
Clarissa reaches into the pocket of her white scientist coat and pulls out a pair of glasses, before slipping them on.
You can see part of it held together with masking tape.
Clarissa looks at you like pic related.
Clarissa: "Heh, I really look the part now, don't I?"
>>15827017You continue staring out into the peaceful day.
After a few moments, you see a bush out the front of a building across the street shake and rustle, before something pokes out the top of it.
You'd be hard pressed to recognise any discernable features on a person at that distance, but two, fluffy pointed ears poking out of the top of her head make her easy to recognise.
It's Hibiki and she looks around for a few seconds, before locking eyes with you.
Her head starts to slowly sink back into the bush before she seems to second guess herself and stands up instead.
She gives you a reluctant wave and it doesn't look like she's armed.
