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! ]

[IF IT WAS MOSTLY EMPTY, WOULDN'T THERE BE A HOLLOW NOISE INSTEAD OF A CLANG?? So rude, gosh. (it is mostly empty though)

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!

[deontology]

[Because Sousei is the straight man in this routine, Oz... keep up!! That's why this always must happen this way.

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.]

[harepiece]

[WHY CAN'T THEY SWITCH IT UP A BIT gosh!! But it sure is exciting. EXCITEMENT CENTRAL IN HERE.

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]

[deontology]

[...............................

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?

[harepiece]

[LOOKING BACK WITH THE STRAIGHTEST STRAIGHT FACE EVER.]

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.]

[deontology]

[...]

Are you simply focused on breaking into a locked room, regardless of how little there is a chance of finding anything useful in it?

[starting to get ur number, punk]

[harepiece]

We're already done with the important stuff in this building, right?

[HE DOESN'T EVEN EXPECT TO FIND ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN THERE.]

[deontology]

[oh my god you're such a punk!!!]

If there is nothing of use here, there is no reason to continue wasting our time trying to break into a single locked office.

[harepiece]

[Sousei should be used to punks at least!!]

Do you want to move on to the next building, then? [There are the choices... Either let Oz wander off to find a window like a moron or be committed to being stuck with him for another search.]

[deontology]

[....]

We have not been paired up for this search. There is no need to attach yourself to me and what I intend to do.

[hey now.

hey now.]

[harepiece]

So... you don't want to keep looking around with me?

[STARING UP AT SOUSEI. It's almost like he can't comprehend this!! Wow! Someone trying to escape his clutches, when does that ever happen??]

[deontology]

No.

[Oh, that's...that was blunt.]

I do not.

[in case there was any doubt about Sousei's buzzkill status...]

[harepiece]

[SO VERY BUZZKILL. Oz sighs in a large and dramatic way after that, shaking his head like this is a Great Shame.]

There are so many cranky grandpas around this place that I'm really surprised the retirement home wasn't offered as an option before the apartment complexes.

[But no, only Break is there......]

But if you want to go look around on your own, I won't hold you up anymore! [He will go LOOK FOR THAT WINDOW, in the meantime - or that's sure what it seems like he's about to do.]

[deontology]

[...exCUSE YOU.....

He's heard worse from Tenka, but wow, what an irreverent brat. For a long moment, he just gives Oz a very long, very unimpressed look.

And then he turns on his heel with a sassy flip of his hair (it just happens, really) and then he strides off. Bye, Oz. Don't fall through any windows.]
