[ goodbye, sweet citronia...

his ID reads enis saionji, eighteen years old if you do the math. the pass is just a regular backstage pass for the encore ballroom. ]

[tongshi]

[ gently

closes the trunk and locks it.

he will hand the keys that this poor, poor ""enis"" had on him to jolyne since she is the getaway driver. ]

Okay. Well. I'm not going to think too much about this right now, but let's not forget he's in there. With cameras in the stairwell, we need to act like we belong here, probably...

[foreverphantom]

[ looks over at the ID Jolyne is now wearing, and then steals the blueprint out of Hung's pocket. ]

The Encore ballroom...oh, perfect, there's plenty of gray area we could check out around there.

But yeah, we'll need to act cool... if anyone asks, we could just be your...backup dancers? Groupies?

[floridas]

[ she makes the :grimace_face: emoji because like yeah, uh. they can't forget about this guy that they agreed to clobber and knock out. for now, she'll pocket the keys again, thinking. ]

Yeah, if anything we're right where we wanna be. I mean, backup dancers isn't a bad idea. A surprise number or something like that.

[ clears her throat! ]

Just gotta act like we belong here.

[becomemod]

[ enis is safely stowed in the trunk to wake up with a mean headache later.

jolyne is dressed and looking amazing! enis wishes he looked this good! the backup dancers don't match the vibe, but this ain't about them! ]

[tongshi]

Alright. [ he claps his hands together, just once, quietly, his ears flicking as he assesses the garage at large. ] ... how do we want to do this?

Just get the camera uncovered and head on up?

[foreverphantom]

Sounds like a plan.

[ and he goes over to do just that!

by which i mean he walks over to the camera, stares up at it angrily for a moment, and then starts jumping to try and reach the hat. and because he rolled bad luck on luck week, not only does he not get the hat down, but he loses his balance from one of the jumps and then falls over, smashing his face into the concrete floor of the garage ]

[floridas]

Yeah, gotta keep moving, that's a good plan—ah shit, dude are you okay?

[ that looks. painful. damb. i mean, falling on concrete sucks. she misses having powers every second that passes. help. (she'll... take the hat off once they're all out of the way, if danny's hurtin) ]

[becomemod]

[ dehatted...

none of you will notice yet since you're not in the stairwell, but since you've taken a bit of time to deal with all of this, there's someone coming up. ]

[foreverphantom]

I'm--fine!

[ he picks himself up and wipes his face. Some blood comes away on his sleeve (thank god his outfit is already red and black) and he wipes under his nose just to make sure it's clear. Then he winces because he realizes a tooth is broken. But WHATEVER. IT'S FINE!!! WE HAVE TREASURE TO STEAL. ]

Let's get going.

[ and so with snow's permission to godmod Hung into the stairwell, let's gooooo!! As they enter, Danny does notice other footsteps, but he is trying to play it cool right now so he doesn't turn around to gawk. ]

[floridas]

[ man a3 scares me

but also buddy, your thoot. jolyne gives him a concerned glance before honing in on the sound of more footsteps. maybe it's a good idea to lay low for a minute, pretend they know exactly where they're going, stay in your lane etc.

so yeah, playing it cool up the stairs and very much acting like we know where we're going/have a place to be! (which we do, it's treasure.)

who is coming up the stairs...? ]

[becomemod]

[ it's... a polar bear in a suit! they are ascending cautiously, eyes alert, as if they are expecting something to jump out at them at any moment. the ear piece and wary stance seems to indicate that this might be security, and you're right in their line of sight. ]

Hey. You shouldn't be in here. Staff only.

[tongshi]

[ after sharing concern over danny eating shit, hung now has to contend with an ursus. i don't remember which a3 got a polar bear fursona for april fools but it's fine. he squares his shoulders and looks Very Serious, if a little apologetic. ]

We were told this was the best way to go, to get entertainment in. She has to get ready to perform later this afternoon.

[foreverphantom]

[ he nods along, trying to look casual about it ]

We're already running late as it is, we're supposed to be doing sound check right now.

[ THAT'S A THING PERFORMERS DO, RIGHT ]

[floridas]

[ polar bear in a suit. now she has truly seen it all (no she hasn't). she'll just settle easily on her hip, arms loosely folded because just gotta keep it calm and casual. ]

We're just trying to get there as quickly as possible, I may have made us a little late, sorry guys... [ curling some hair around her finger as she nods to the... polar bear in a suit... cries... ] Could you point us in the right direction, please?

[becomemod]

Which show would that be?

[ it pauses, head tilted as if listening to something. ]

I'm going to have to see some ID.

[tongshi]

Sure... [ turning to look at jolyne, because she has the pass and ID. oh no. it was for the guy. this is going to be... very interesting, he thinks.

all else fails, he's ready to brawl with the other furry. or let themselves be taken to security (or at least in the direction thereof) if that'll help them. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ he's just gonna. slowly shift himself so he can reach into a pocket and grasp the laser pen. just in case. ]

[floridas]

[ i truly hope u were prepared to fight security because i'm sorry she's just: ]

Yeah, gimme a sec, it's in here somewhere~

[ carefully reaching into the coat pocket to pull out the id that definitely isn't hers and having a moment to look it over front and back before clutching it in her fist, looking at hung and danny and giving a smile :) and just ]

Here you—go!

[ punching this bear straight in the nose, and as she pulls back, trying to smack/knock out anything that looks like it might be used to contact anyone else—a wire to an earpiece etc. i'm sorry. she doesn't know how to do anything but violence when she's cornered, sorry! bite me bite me bite me!!!!!! ]

[becomemod]

[ they see danny reaching for something, and immediately pull out a gun. ]

Hold it - hands in the air! [ and for their earpiece: ] Backup needed ASAP, Encore Garage.

[ they're just doing their job, man. y'all are out here being so extremely sus. so we have two nat 20s going head to head now, as the polar bear immediately pulls the trigger as jolyne punches. uuuuunfortunately for you guys, that coinflip gave you bad luck, so the punch lands in the jaw and not the nose? still a punch. it stumbles back, out of reach before jolyne can get her hands on the head piece.

the good news is that this gun doesn't shoot bullets. it shoots silly string. jolyne is now absolutely covered in the stuff.

the bad news is that the security team was already on high alert, meaning a full team is already storming the stairwell, guns raised. you are now surrounded and you haven't even made it into the casino.

the polar bear rubs its jaw. ]

We're going to need you to come with us.

[tongshi]

[ silly

string ]

What the... [ hung stands there and buffers for a second, not being particularly surprised by the fact jolyne's swung. the string is the surprise. but then there's the sound of others filling the stairwell, and he sighs, rolling his neck to crack it before he

ducks down low, more like a grappler than anything else. lowering his own center of gravity and aiming for someone else's. ] Things have gotten weirder, but, let's go..!

[ and then he goddamn barrels forward into the polar bear. originally he was trying to put him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, but an 8 probably means that does not happen so he's just bulldozing into him as a distraction. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ SO ANYWAY I STARTED BLASTING DOT GIF

Danny whips out the laser pen and activates it. While Hung tackles the first guard, Danny laser shoots all the other guards rushing in--pretty accurately, too, with his 18.

i have no idea how lethal these lasers are. i hope danny is killing them. ]

[floridas]

[ DANNY NO MURDERING OFF SCHEDULE but i guess these guards are okay. granted. the silly string really catches her off guard a little bit. i hope the laser is actually just a pointer laser and all the guards try and chase it.

anyways, as a dead guyraccoon's power once said: FUCK IT WE BALL!!! i think it'd be funny if we were captured and somehow ended up in said casino but in any case: she's going to knock literal heads with the first security guard in front of her, like literally, she's headbutting him straight to the skull but also like

it hurts so much it was such a bad idea she's just running on adrenaline so hopefully it at least puts some hurt on them as much as it does on her! woohoo! ]

[becomemod]

[ this polar bear is stupidly sturdy so it just tanks the hit. it grapples with hung and is currently winning.

it is in fact a laser pointer because this is not a lethal cyoa. i told you it would be light on injuries!! stop trying to kill people!! that said, with that roll i'll let you temporarily blind a few of them. most of these guards are human, but the one cat does chase after it on instinct.

jolyne happens to try to headbutt a human guard with silvery blue hair, who dodges so fast you can hardly track his movements, and easily twists her arm behind her back with a lazy laugh. ]

Taaaaag~! I caught you~!
