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! ]

But he'll cheerfully flounce off past Sousei and toward the door as soon as he gets the agreement. STUCK IN INVESTIGATING HELL WITH OZ how does it feel friend.
This part of the investigation may be short-lived though, since the outside door to this particular room is locked, which Oz finds out when he tugs the handle a little too hard and jams it.]
Oops—! [Oops. He doesn't even know if Sousei will be able to pull his lock-breaking magic here...] ...Well, we probably shouldn't make it too obvious that there were people in here looking around, anyway. I'll go find a window instead!
[He's already heading off?!]
no subject
This feels terrible though thanks for asking... there's so much energy and genki here and Sousei doesn't!! want it!!!
But nonetheless, he.... has to come along. Because Oz is clearly hopeless. Like. That must be an all time new record for failing at an investigation.
Slowly, Sousei arches an eyebrow at that, but he doesn't really want to break down a door, he's not Tenka--
Wait what]
A--
[window???]
Hold on. [STOP, SLOW DOWN....]
no subject
But he will at least pause in his outward jaunt, even though he's like, basically already almost to the doors so he can go outside and loop back to check the exterior of the building...]
Hm? Do you want to look for the window instead?
[Of course Sousei doesn't want to look for the dang window, but Oz sure can't fight back the urge to gently bully when he's presented with such an obvious target.]
no subject
[don't be a moron, Oz!!! He's no interested in being trolled by a pipsqueak like you!]
There is no need to go to such lengths when we have yet to turn up anything of use here, and there are still more rooms to search.
[The possible net gain of this venture doesn't make it worth it......]
no subject
Still! If it's locked, there might be something good in there, right?
[CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN.
Or they might just find more kooshballs and figurines.]
no subject
No.
[Oz...they just unlocked two separate drawers, and what did they find...]
There is no guarantee. It would make more sense to explore a wider area than waste our time trying to get into this one room.
no subject
Either way, he seems to be considering what Sousei says. Then, with a sigh of resignation:]
Fine, fine - I guess you have a point. —But! We'll come back to check this one when we're done, right?
[RIGHT. Not taking no for an answer, apparently?! He's already moseying off before even hearing Sousei's response... Where is he even going, we just don't know.]
no subject
............... what a punk!! Sousei follows slowly, expression slowly flattening further. This isn't what he wanted out of life at all.]
I fail to see why you are so excitable about this.
[SLOW DOWN]
no subject
Hm? Does it seem like I am? [Sousei hasn't seen him when he's truly excited... That's when the Moron Clash will turn into the Moron Explosion.]
no subject
You are.
[THERE'S NO 'SEEMS' ABOUT IT, YOU'RE STILL WAY TOO EXCITABLE.]
You are too energetic. It's irritating.
no subject
Oh.
[But Sousei will be the recipient of the Sad Eyes of Pity™ anyway... He understands. Sousei's just a grandpa, he can't help it.]
It's hard to tell that you're irritated, you know! [HE THOUGHT THAT WAS SOUSEI'S RESTING STATE.]
no subject
... I just told you that I am.
[yeah, he.... he knows he's not very expressive, okay, don't make fun of his childhood affliction!!]
no subject
Do you have to tell people every time you get irritated? [#bein a butthead
But at least he's searching for other unlocked doors simultaneously, so he hasn't dropped into the territory of "totally useless" yet!]
no subject
[they Get Him, okay!!! Oz just. Doesn't!!!
What a dumb conversation to have as they walk down this hallway and test out doors.... most of which are locked, incredible.]
no subject
I see! It's just one of those things where you have to be around a person for a while first, right? Like how some people have regular angry faces, hungry angry faces, and angry faces for when their smart CyBuddy likes their roommate better!
no subject
...
[How does he even...respond to that.......
Maybe he responds to it by ignoring it.
Will that make Oz go away.
He opens a finally unlocked door, pushing it open and pretending like he didn't hear anything about angry faces.]
no subject
Oz just flounces behind him merrily, though he is definitely projecting the annoying air of someone who's like "hahaha I SEE HOW IT IS" without actually saying anything. It's a talent of his.
But he'll mercifully leave the subject behind once Sousei opens one of the last unlocked doors remaining, scooting around him to poke his head through the gap. Luckily he doesn't immediately get decapitated, but he can't see much inside since the room doesn't seem to have windows?!]
...Huh. I'm going to look for a light switch.
no subject
For now, though, he just watches Oz be a dumbass and poke his head in without a care!!! Good thing he didn't get decapitated!! Though he follows a moment later, opening the door wider in an attempt to let more of the light in from the hallway.
Why does this room not have windows....
He just walks in after Oz, significantly more wary. One of the two of them has to be ready for killer clowns or something...]
no subject
But it's a good thing at least one of them is wary, since Oz sure doesn't seem to be?! He's on his guard, of course, but it doesn't really outwardly show. After feeling around on the walls for a few seconds, Sousei will hear the melodious sound of some nerd running into a filing cabinet, though...]
Ouch—! [GOOD WORK TEAM.] ...No lightswitches on this side.
no subject
Sousei carefully feels along the walls until he finds the light switch on his side of the room (tough luck, Oz) and then flicks it on.
Sure are a lot of filing cabinets in here.]
... This could take some time.
no subject
But Oz blinks rapidly once the lights are switched on, one hand still pressed to his forehead. Why does this keep happening...]
Oh— [And then, after glancing around:] ...Oh. [#eloquence]
...Well! I'll get started on the ones on this side!
no subject
But Sousei looks at the files, and then...he sighs faintly, and nods. He knows that this is one of their best bets for information, so...as much as he's not excited about sorting through paperwork, it's time to...sort through paperwork!!
What an exciting thread, loser a and loser b looking through files.]
no subject
Naturally, Oz doesn't find anything of use in any of the filing cabinets that he's able to look through. One or two are locked, but after the fiasco with the last locked cabinet, he sure isn't inclined to give this another go... So instead, once he's done, he turns on his heel to face Sousei's direction.]
Did you find anything good over there? It all just looks like stuff for the jobs here on this side. [BORING, NON-INFORMATIVE.] I'm going to go look for a window now!
[Did you think he forgot of course he didn't forget]
no subject
why
though.
Literally, why, Oz. Sousei pauses in his methodical search to look at the boy, and then slowly arches an eyebrow.]
Is there a reason you are so fixated on this?
no subject
That's probably the only locked room on this floor that has a chance of a window leading to it.
[Maybe it's because he can never leave a potential dramatic window entrance left untouched.]
