You have an idea. A plan. A scheme. <span class="mu-s">A mission only you can do.</span>
Yes, the only plan of action worth following is you climbing the wall into the Professor’s apartment. You can do this, right? You wouldn’t have thought about it if you weren’t capable of climbing 6 stories up the wall of an apartment building, and comfortable doing so. Yes, you can see no flaws.
You let the others know your intentions… Nobody objects to the idea.
“Here’s my climbing hook.” Marcela takes one out of her backpack for you. You grab it.
“Where did you get that thing, young girl?” The Leon-Tamer appears confused. Strangely, the biggest weirdo of the group is the only one who finds this odd. Typical weirdos.
“Part of the job. You have no idea what kind of places I have to get to as a delivery girl.” Marcela looks traumatized.
“And you’re perfectly fine with this plan?” Leon wants to be the voice of reason, but he’s not fit for the job. He has little to no common sense.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Marcela doesn’t quite get it. “Don’t tell me you’ve never climbed a wall to check on someone?”
“Everyone does it once or twice in their lives!” Vanessa nods in agreement.
“Are you people real…?” Leon-Tamer feels his act is out of place.
“Let’s move on.” You don’t need negativity to take a place in this operation!
“The 6th floor, you said? Allow me to place the rope for you.” Vanessa grabs your climbing hook from your hands and expertly throws it upwards to the 6th floor, she grabs the rope to make sure it’s firm. “Voila! All yours, Kobashi!”
“Thanks, Vanessa.” You grab the rope and smile at everyone. It’s a great feeling to have a team behind your back. “I’ll see you all in a bit. I won’t disappoint you again!”
In less than a minute, you go up the rope with no issues onto the 6th floor. Not one soul, Ignis Fatuus or otherwise, saw you. You’re in the clear. Carefully, you walk on the edges of the building, peeking inside the windows to find Bombastus’ place. With luck on your side, you found a messy place with many papers lying around, machinery, and more importantly, a picture of Professor Bombastus hanging on the wall. The window was left unlocked, so you sneak inside.
“No alarm or anything, that’s good.” You mutter to yourself upon entering the place. It’s pretty messy, like there was a designated person in charge of cleaning that hasn’t come around in weeks. Reminds you of Ema’s apartment.
You have the climbing hook, Qiao’s goggles, Marcela’s package and your notepad with you. Time to explore…
“Willkommen, Mysterious man.” Now you know the reason why the window is open. There’s someone here! A sophisticated yet tenebrous woman welcomes you to a place you shouldn’t be in. “Who do you happen to be?”
You didn’t get time to hide, this is unfortunate timing…
