[Thank goodness the boss said they'd be provided anything they'd need for the task. Everyday clothing probably are included in that. Once Sigrun finally looks like someone you'd see on a random street and not care enough to look twice, she seems raring to go]

I don't tend to use this kind of clothes, but it'll be good enough.

[Except on the very few free days she has, but still!]

[becomemod]

[Well. With their 3 and 9 that the sure did just roll, they're not going to find his class schedule or anything. But they will learn that the red-haired man goes to work, then to an orphanage to take care of the kids there, then home. That's his routine for the next two days.

He also seems unbothered by most things and doesn't get angry about much of anything. He's a pretty chill guy.]

[squelching]

[ROLLED SO BAD THEY FOLLOWED THE WRONG GUY...

hm, alright. does he drive his own car? and if he does, does the timing of the murder that's supposed to take place coincide with school hours? or does it take place later, still at the school but after classes have ended for the day?

saya would want to time how long he stays at the orphanage during these two days, if it's the latter.]

[iamprettygreat]

[Sigrun can't stop looking towards the hair of the guy they're following...

She had a 9. That's why she makes a comment:]

I feel we're kinda missing something here.

[...but she brushes it off as just her imagination. Sigrun in normal conditions wouldn't mix this up because observation skills and awareness are high thanks to her job, but it's a funny thing, she suddenly suffers a case of 'You Can't See Details Because It's Friday' even though it's Thursday. The power of the dice is insurmountable!

Sigrun would pay attention to stuff that might be of use to the posterior school sneaking, when they have followed him at the school area: where does this guy enter from? Anything unusual needed to enter, like saying hi to security, or using a special entrance for teachers, or anything?]

[becomemod]

[He does drive a car every day, yes. There is a parking lot in the back for staff and he also uses the entrance by the parking lot. He usually stays an hour-ish after school too before he leaves to go to the orphanage.

According to the boss's report, the murder is supposed to happen at 1:20pm. So during the school day.

They will also notice that sometimes the red-haired teacher and the white-haired teacher arrive at the same time, and the white-haired teacher seems to have some kind of grudge against him. He's always rude to the red-haired teacher, even if the red-haired teacher doesn't react to the rudeness.]

[iamprettygreat]

[Only when the two teachers are at the same location, Sigrun watches how the white-haired teacher is so rude and confrontational, and the red one is just taking that pretty nonchalantly, and something seems to click. She pulls from Saya so they're out of sight, and whispers:]

We have been following the wrong guy for two days.

[Oops]

[squelching]

[HELP. love you nick for just running with this.

saya blinks, and then she starts giggling.]

It's okay. Hey, what if we steal his car? If he can't make it to work, then he can't get stabbed at school, right?

[becomemod]

[Oops.

You can try to take the car if you want, but how are you getting the keys?]

[iamprettygreat]

Or we could wreck or set fire to the engine or something. If the engine doesn't work then he can't make it to work.

[HEY SILHOUETTE BOSS PLEASE BE WILLING TO PAY OUR BAIL AND/OR SAVE US FROM PRISON]

[squelching]

Hmm... Setting fire to the engine would cause an explosion. Someone could die. Is that okay?

[sigrun doesn't seem like the type to be down for that, so. would it be possible to pick pocket this guy for the keys, actually?]

Maybe if one of us distract him, then the other can steal the keys and drive away.

[becomemod]

[It's up to you, silhouette boss just wants the redhead alive.]

[iamprettygreat]

Really? The explosion would be that big?

[Sigrun is a bit short-sighted when it comes to planning ahead. Great for improvisation, not so great for anything medium-term and onwards.

If there will be such a big explosion, then...]

Okay, let's go for the key stealing. I'll drive, you distract.

[Can't let the child drive a real car. A kart is fair game, a real vehicle no]

[squelching]

[this is very funny for reasons.]

Oh? Alright. Just be quick, okay? I don't know how long I could keep him distracted...

[okay, well. they are presumably doing this while the guy is at the orphanage? or something. idk what the timeline is right now, but definitely before he can go to school to get shanked.]

[becomemod]

[Well. Saya TRIES to sneak in to the orphanage, but a 5 ain't gonna cut it. The red-haired teacher sees her pretty much immediately. HOWEVER he just smiles and pats her on the head.]

New around here? Don't worry, everyone is nice.

[Yep he is assuming she is a new orphan. She has infiltrated the orphanage, how is she getting those keys?

Also Sigrun's critfail will matter shortly, Saya has to get this first.]

[squelching]

[well. the plan was to distract him and steal the keys, so this works.

she blinks at him, letting him pat her head, and then sniffs miserably. uses her best set of puppy eyes to stare up at him.]

I miss my dad.

[does it seem like he's carrying his car keys and wallet in his pockets? just based on the bulk of them. if it seems like that's the case, she's gonna try to like... pickpocket him if she can get a hug from him.]

[becomemod]

[The wallet and keys are there yes. And he would indeed give her a hug to try and comfort her, so she can pickpocket the keys.]

I know, it's hard. I was an orphan too. But it gets easier, trust me.

[Good job, you did it. You stole from a well-meaning adult.]

[squelching]

[her lip wobbles like she's about to burst into tears after robbing this well-meaning man's car keys. spoilers: they are not tears of sadness.]

... Thanks, mister. You're really nice.

[and then she puts on a show of rubbing her face, and runs off to maybe crash his car with sigrun. it's fine.]

[iamprettygreat]

[Sigrun is waiting near the orphanage for Saya to return]

Did you get them?

[Oh the feeling of impending doom that's befalling me when I know what's coming is one hell of a crash.

Upon receiving the keys, Sigrun would advise Saya to not get in the car and just wait there and that she'd come back after taking the car far away enough. Better safe than sorry because by now Sigrun knows someone being there while she drives is risky.

Time to wreck this thing unintentionally]

[becomemod]

[With a nat 1 Sigrun is going to crash the car while leaving the driveway. Somehow she hit the telephone pole across the street.]

[iamprettygreat]

[squelching]

[






YANKS SIGRUN OUT OF THE NOW TOTALED CAR AND RUNS.]

[iamprettygreat]

[Not even bothering to say anything, Sigrun runs too. Fission mailed, let's bail]

[becomemod]

[WELL. You at least totaled the car, red haired teacher can't go to work.

Except he can just take the train and does so, he's at work the next day. The day that shit is supposed to go down.

What now?]

[squelching]

[DAMN. not even late to work.]

... Maybe we should've kidnapped him.

[no.

but i guess they have to follow him to work now? saya can probably pretend to be a student to waltz right in, or something.]

[iamprettygreat]

[Welp, it's the day of the event and given they probably would be staking the school because Sigrun would suggest to be there and observe, just in case, they'd see the future victim of stabbing arrive.

Sigrun sighs]

Back to the planning table. First we'll have to get into the school somehow.

[And she turns her head towards Saya]

You know, it's been days since we saw spike hairs and Tama. What do you think happened to them?

[Three days since they separated into different ways]
