Word of warning - we don't have a lot to go off yet, but I'll tell you the same that I told Nico di Angelo.
What we're looking for are things that don't belong. White objects in odd places, without a spec of dirt on them. Papers with strange writing. Villains saying things outside of the normal villain fare. Odd things that don't seem to match where they're found.
I'm aware that it's a vague directive, but we found out about this competition in the first place from a paper one of us found among the ruins.
“Villains that say things outside of the normal villain fare”…? What, like evil laughter and speeches about paving paradise to put up a parking lot?

You… know my ability is literal, right? [ it’s on her profile so, whatever. ] Hacking.
Stuff like that, yes. They do do those things. I'm told it's a cliche.
[ they pause. ]
I did tell you that I'm not that familiar with technology. Before you told me what it meant to you, the literal meaning of "hacking" was cutting things.
So, if we start cackling we, what, tackle them? Gag them?
[ she can do gagging. ]
Oh right. I can hack electronics. I can probably get access to more information than you think — I just need a means of storing what I find where it and I can’t be traced.
Gagging them would be nice, so we won't have to hear it. But no, we're not entirely sure what to look for, and that's why it's vague. Anything out of the ordinary is worth a second look, as far as I'm concerned.
[ phoenix nods like they understand. ]
But it would have to be electronic in nature, right? So if it's only written down, then it won't work?
For better or worse, there's still the chance they could say something useful.
I meant the information that you're looking for. [ taps chin. ] But we could probably find a way for you to store the information how you like. Though if you want my help, you'd have to walk me through what you need.
Unless you store all your information on paper only, there'll be something I can get. But yeah, I'd need some kind of electronic storage.
It might be easier to just... tell me where the tech stores are. I can figure out a way to get them without it linking back to my bank account. Probably.

About the information gathering, I take it?

Yup. Exactly that.

[ tch. ]
I could write it all down as I see it, but I'm not working how I usually would. I'd miss a lot. It'd be better to find another way to store it.

There is a "mall" being rebuilt currently. I think they had something similar to what you're looking for?
[ unfortunately for tama, it's not a week one location. ]
no subject
[ suffice to say, tama knows what she likes. ]
Oh, that’d probably work. But if we don’t have access to it yet, I’m kinda stuck with only half my power available to me.
no subject
It's not idea. With luck, it'll open soon. Or I hear the "wonderball" has many options, so you could try that, too.
no subject
[ that’s the important part. ]

Oh!!! I should show them my collection when I get a few more. They're really fun -- kinda like gacha without the plastic waste.
