When: IC 11/23 onward
Where: Various!
What: The rescue mission Yata, Sheba and co. discussed at the citywide meeting!
Rating/Warning: at least PG because some people swear like sailors

[ Once everyone arrives at the agreed meeting area, the CERES Metro-rail Station at the Residential District, Yata briefs the group on what to do. As discussed in the citywide meeting yesterday, the group will split into six teams that were decided by drawing lots. Everyone should know who they're teamed up with by now. Yata's instructions are simple enough: don't work alone (buddy system!), and if anyone finds anything, report to him. Should the missing arrivals be found, don't wait on anyone's orders. Yata admits that he's not smart enough to call the shots, but if he found who they were looking for, he believes that taking action should be the team's first priority. Anyone is free to protest, but he won't go back on his word.

Then he makes a special shout out to Hiccup and Toothless because look look guys it's a dragon how cool is that okay back to business.

By 9:15 AM, all teams should be on the move! ]

We can't start a game without a mission, right? I picked an easy one, so all I have to do is gather the items on my list and I'm done.

[faestra]

Oh! That doesn't sound too bad. So we just have to choose missions we can do really quick after trying to rescue someone.

[psycholawgy]

[ Thumbs up. ]

Yeah! But if you're Lee over there, I bet you'd pick the most difficult mission of all and try to find people at the same time...

[ She looks pretty exasperated after saying all that. Stupid Lee! ]

[faestra]

Lee? Don't know him...

[She just follows Athena's gaze. Someone who would try that is worthy of curiosity at least.]

So he's the overachieving type? He'll need a partner who can keep up with him!

[psycholawgy]

Uh huh, that's him.

He made me to five hundred push-ups. HE'S INSANE!

[faestra]

Were you guys training for the Olympics? ... I don't suppose there are any other athletes in this group?

[actually Yuzu sort of qualifies, action duels are basically card games with a side order of SPORTS]

[psycholawgy]

No way! [ She shakes her head vigorously. ] I'm just a normal lawyer.

[faestra]

A lawyer, huh... [Seems a bit stuffy for a cute girl like that. Maybe she's older than she looks?] Do you know anyone else in the group, then?

Ah wait! We haven't been introduced! I'm Yuzu Hiiragi. I'm a student and an Entertainment Duelist.... and a hairstylist here I guess.

[psycholawgy]

Oh, it's so nice to meet you!

[ Instead of a handshake, she hugs her Yuzu instead. ATHENA THINKS SHE IS CUTE. ]

I know Lee— [ Points to eyebrows over there. ] And that's about it. This is a good way to meet new people too, don't you think?

Oh, and I'm Athena Cykes. I work at the gym, and at the cosplay cafe.

[faestra]

You t- oof!

[HELP SHE'S BEING HUGGED by a person she also thinks is cute but wow slightly awkward]

Yeah, great way to meet new people... [better than she knew, apparently...! But at least it was a quick hug.]

Two jobs? No... three? Oh, wait, you must be a lawyer at home and then both of those here. The cosplay cafe sounds fun.

[psycholawgy]

[ She nods as she lets go of Yuzu. ]

Yeah, I'm a lawyer back home. I wish I could do it here too, but there aren't any laws here. The CEO's kind of a dictator.
