[ Lillium can next head on over to Aioen Orphanage. He can have his nice Vegas car as his method of transport, which he can manually drive or his AI-Ball can do it for him. Isn't that convenient? Anyway, this place looks nice, has a kindergarten kind of energy to it. The large field is the playground, and has lots of playground-type things.
There are a few kids playing around. For a moment, you think two of them look familiar -- a boy with black hair, and his white-haired friend with a small tuft of white -- but one blink or a squint and it's obvious it's not them.
[ NICO IS A TEENAGER HE WILL NOT BE DRIVING. Lillium will drive and instinctively he checks to make sure Iris isn't stowed away in the backseat or trunk.
Frowning at how it seems like he's seeing things, he will take a gander of the playground... Any balloons? He will also look for any staff to talk to here. ]
Got a directory for this orphanage to pull up their staff?
[ Profiles so he knows how many people he can maybe talk to... Recognize whoever owns this orphanage. ]
[ HE'S AN AI HE CAN DRIVE. IF AIBA CAN AT AGE 0-6 SO CAN NICO. Anyway there is a lack of Iris in his car. Maybe he really is behaving and you should believe in him?
Also I meant white hair with a small tuft of gold.

Uh-huh.
Aioen Orphanage, ran by Riichi Chieda, 54 years old.
...Oh. A child was kidnapped 23 years ago, and the police never found him.
The founder doesn't like police very much because of that, so. I guess we should make this quick.
And quick it is, because there isn't a whole lot to look at. If Lillium looks up, he will spy a balloon at the very top of a particular tree. ]
[ Sure. He will have to go grab his knife afterwards but you can do this.
Does he normally have the kind of strength to do this. It doesn't matter. While you're here at the orphanage, you feel weirdly strong, and your knife goes flying with even what felt like a pretty light toss.
Aiming won't be an issue since you have your AI-Ball.
Pop goes the weasel, and the latex drops pathetically. The card takes a bit longer to come down because, yeah...
[ ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF A TREE HEI. IT ISN'T ABOUT WHETHER LILLIUM IS A TWINK, IT'S ABOUT IT BEING A RIDICULOUS HEIGHT FOR ANYONE TO REACH. I have never assigned Lillium twink.
Also sure yeah. That's why.
Lillium goes to pick up the piece of paper and for a brief moment, it doesn't look like a piece of cardstock, but rather an ID card with [MISSING] emblazoned across the front. For a moment, it's the spitting image of Iris Black.
...But if Lillium turns it around, he sees --
A
H
And when he turns it back around again, it doesn't seem to be any sort of ID card.
[ The branches get thin up top, it would not support your weight without you potentially having a dangerous time. I'd also say it'd be hard to climb the trunk but I guess you do have a knife to make notches with if you wanted to. ]

[ But he will scan this balloon to see if it's the same kind. If it is, he will go retrieve it. ]
no subject
The only problem is that, again, it's at the veeery tip top of a very tall tree. How did it GET THERE. How do you want to reach it? ]

I do not know what you expected from me, Lowe. He is pink, but not a princess. ]

Wonderful, another card down. ]

Well, he has to look at this and have a moment where he blinks several times while flipping the card back and forth. ]
... Nico, you only see A-H-5?
[ He will text these to the group, too. Lillium kind of... Doesn't want to stick around after seeing the card do a houdini. ]
no subject
Why?

[ Runs a hand through his hair. ]
Route me to Ace's location.
no subject
[ Sure, he will ping Ace's GPS and give Lillium that info. ]

[ He'll be on the way there but damn please clear up his mind. ]

But aside from a heightened level of cortisol, I'm not detecting any anomalies.
