Who: the idiots who think this will actually amount to anything
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! ]

[The way she asked the question it totally applies. And anyway, she is asking him questions that she already knows – or at least suspects – the answer of. They might as well cut to the chase.]

You aren't exactly trying to hide yourselves.

[Not that it would matter if they were, probably.]

[faestra]

[SIGH. She knew it. And now he's flipping from cagey to sass, which she can handle a lot better to be honest.]

We shouldn't have to try, you creep. [YEAH THAT'S RIGHT you're a creep!! But now that that's been established, that little voice is growing a bit louder. She bites her lip for another second, before admitting.]

They're pretty good traps though. I hope you didn't want them back... I already put a couple of them in my deck.

[raidraptors]

[He's been called worse, and it's not like he did anything beyond assessing their location for his own comfort and in case Akaba ever shows his face here. Never be said he doesn't keep an eye on his person of interest after all. Not that he is going to bring up that aspect with Yuzu like ever.

Also, about those cards:]

If I needed them, I wouldn't have sent them in first place.

[They are meant to be used by you, Yuzu, sheesh.]

[faestra]

All right, well, that's good.

[She hadn't been especially serious about him needing them, but hearing him say it at least lessens her nagging feeling that she will owe him for this - it won't go away, knowing her, but a drop in priority, perhaps.]

... Thanks.

[Shun just lightly waves his hand at her. Which may or may not be his way of saying 'You are welcome'. It could also translate into 'Whatever, dismissed'?. Who even knows, there is no Shun-Japanese-dictonary in sight.]

[faestra]

[If it is "whatever, dismissed" she's ignoring it then because she doesn't care and can do what she wants!!]

So what team are you in?

[raidraptors]

[That's the spirit.

Shun considers telling her off for a moment; where he goes or what he does isn't her business after all, but. Given this set up, he supposes there is no point in that.]

...Research and Technology.

[Which is just where he wants to go. He's been meaning to get a proper, closer look at the CERES facilities anyway.]

[faestra]

Ah. You sure didn't pick the easy one...

[That had the research tower they all saw the Powerpoint presentation in, which seemed like it was full of tightly guarded areas, as well as the robot police headquarters she always walks by on the way to work (and gets a tail or two from as a result.) If the missing group was anywhere other than ViViD, that seemed like a likely place, but whether they'd even be able to get in to see was another story. A look of realization dawns - that's probably exactly the kind of thing a shady guy would aim for. She mutters.]

Hey, you're just using this whole thing as an excuse, aren't you?

[raidraptors]

[As if he'd ever pick the easy one.

Shun opts not to comment on that, but rather just meets her gaze calm and silent. He won't deny investing into this venture for his own reasons, to 'use' it to a certain extend, as she put it. He doubts he is the only one.

But anyway, since she's going for ViViD, he might as well drop her a hint.]

...Aim for a high score.
