"Okay, okay, we can get them and get out, right?" Kiara tries to stay positive. "H-how long do you think we have?"
"Mmh! Forty minutes tops." Okay, yeah, that cuts heavily into your exploration time here.
Everyone gets the hint they should get going now. You know both of your targets are here, you know a LOT of people are crashing here soon, you know Shockley is armed and dangerous and that AA is probably on the run. That's probably more than enough to work with.
You have time to ask two questions before you go,
"Wait. Why are you even here? There doesn't seem to be a lot of, uh, things of note here."
DELICIOUS GIRL R slowly sits down on one of the chairs still remaining in this conference room. "I was supposed to find some blueprints for my boss. He'd said that even if I couldn't deal with the villains, the blueprints would be enough."
"I would think they would be somewhere else." Max shrugs. "Have you found them?"
"Sadly, no...I don't wanna be seen as a bad hero so I'll keep lookin'!!!"
[USED WHISPERS OF THE CITY BEFORE] You feel an odd PING in your mental radar. There's something underneath the conference table.
"Tell you what. Check under the table once we're done." "Oh? Okay!"
"Secondly, who hires an anomaly???" Benjamin asks on behalf of you. "I like and cherish anomalies. I can understand wanting to talk to one. To understand one. But to hire one as a goon? Who???"
DELICIOUS GIRL R tilts her head, "An anomaly? Ohhh! That's what they used to call me back in the days." She shrugs. "He never did tell me his name. Weird now that I think about it."
"He was a very dark skinned man with a nasty scar on his left eye. Real bulky guy, think he used to be a painter? Dunno! He had a lot of money. Was back yonder in the embrace of the grim reaper!!!"
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Vincent Cruz. One of the 521 Association, who recently defected from the spooks. He has to be within the general area.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Perhaps you should stop by and talk to him?
Lapis twitches for a brief second. <span class="mu-s">"..."</span>
>OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE: TALK WITH VINCENT CRUZ IN REAPER'S EMBRACE. NEW ALLY AS REWARD?
With every bit of information you can get out of her without wasting too much time obtained, you turn to leave. You pause for a moment when you feel something soft in his hands.
Looking down, there's a long pair of knee high leggings and armgloves in your hands. Huh.
"Don't forget your gift!" DELICIOUS GIRL R waves goodbye after she magically transported those gloves into your hands. Huh. You have a feeling this isn't the last time you'll see her.
The seven of you exit the room, leaving her behind.
>ORANGE CREAMSICLE GLOVES + LEGGINGS OBTAINED! (ODDITY ACCESSORY. A pair of orange and white leggings/gloves. Can lengthen and shorten to match the user's fashion sense. Blocks 2 FLESH and 2 RESTRAINT damage from all sources.)
You feel insulted that a pair of magical girl socks are on par if not situationally better than the armor you're wearing.
