If I were a creepy balloon, I would hang out in the fountain.
[ Unfortunately she is not, and you see no creepy balloons in the water. You can scan past the vending machine, the trees, the fountain, past the girls (they wave at you btw and give you a thumbs up, they can tell you're on the job and they wish you luck. Come hang out with them later for karaoke girls night?) and to the shed, where Jolyne will indeed see the shape of what is probably a balloon with x-ray. ]
[ that's what i thought you'd say you stupid plankton!!!!!!!
but also... uwah girls... she waves cooly (she tries her best). girls karaoke night here she comes!!! she is in cute girl lala land for like a few seconds longer than she should be so she probably gets zapped a little. bad. stay in task. important things are being shared. like how f.f. is just saying if she were a creepy balloon she'd be in a fountain and like. yeah. of course she'd be! ]
You'd scare everyone. But not me. I'd tie you on a string and take you home, creepy balloon. [ encourages bad behaviors every day ] But anyways—check that out.
[ nodding to the shed and focusing on it. what's it look like and... is it locked? ]
[ Foo Fighters is just clowning around in Jolyne's vision, going phytoplankton mode and imagining herself floating and on a string. Oh, to be free...
Yeah, the shed is locked. It's not like, hyper-security locked or anything -- it's got a pretty plain number turn lock as well as a normal doorknob lock, but you don't really know who takes care of the park. It being a traditional lock and not an electronic one also means F.F. can't help you here.
You do not see any windows on the building either. ]
Mmm, maybe it just needs a little percussive maintenance.
[ jolyne no. but also, if she's got some semblance of like... detective authority maybe she can choose violence just this once... can she just break... the lock off with a few kicks if it's a cheap number lock? (or can she break... the door... i'm sorry) ]
You would not believe the amount of unlawful actions ABIS agents take. Don't worry about it. With a little bit of forceful persuasion, either the lock and/or the entire door can go down and then it's all just a matter of walking in.
[ im just here a humble est ready to zoom through balloon quest! anyways, glad ABIS agents can be crimecreatures. jolyne will actually just step back and deliver a few good kicks to the door until it just outright falls downwards and will go grab the balloon!
[ hm!!!!! yeah as she's walking on her way out, she'll take a moment to turn on her vr mode for a moment after tapping out an update to the boys.
let's have one last look around before going to the next area, f.f.
can she have a look around like in the area for anything hinky or weird in her vr sight? can she look at the trees? into the fountain around the perimeter and even inside of it out of curiosity? anything of note here that she can take in with her Special Eyes. ]
[ F.F. can give her a VR Sim of the area, both before and after balloon pop, but Jolyne will notice nothing wrong on the inside of the shed.
However, she'll notice that her pre-balloon pop is still relatively early in the day, about noon when you first got here, but your post-balloon pop is in the afternoon. F.F. helpfully is fast-forwarding the process to you where you can see the projected sim of the two girls still playing near the lake, wandering to the vending machine, and then heading home afterwards.
[ my date with foofie in the park... a success. the balloon took forever to pop clearly, but it's fine. the weird time shuffling is a bit weird, uhhh it takes her a minute to really take that all in. help? ]
Hmm, well, we've got the balloon so let's head to our next stop for now unless something's caught your eye, F.F.
[ beat ]
That's not the fountain or any sort of water source. Y'know.

Balloon! ]

can she scan it with f.f. before opening it up? ]
no subject
She can. Sure looks standard like the rest, red and blue with a little paper card inside. ]

Oh, looks like it really is card number one. Fantastic! Anything else to look at, or move right on? ]

[ What's the point if it isn't something she can swim in, Jolyne. Onwards and upwards then! ]
