(TKTM) You Never Know Who People Are Online

[Jhet]

"I assume it's all sorted out?"

She's kept watch patiently under the tree, watching and waiting. The heat in the shade isn't as bad as the heat in the sun, but even accustomed to this weather, the jacket is too warm for her liking. She just keeps telling herself that it was worth being able to hide her protection.

She wants to be more helpful, but there isn't much she can do without blowing the potential cover of being a freelance journalist. It's putting her back on edge, and that's not going to be useful for being subtle here at all.

I've returned. Eighteen hour days with mostly no internet do not make for much time for posting. Thanks for ghosting me Cross!

A lot of doors. No locks. That was just weird for an apartment building, truth be told. Just knocking on 305 to ask about a glass of water for the man downstairs... why the hell would she have come to the third floor for that? It didn't make sense. Suddenly a lot of things didn't make sense. Damnit Auto.

She finally checked her phone, rolling her eyes at the messages with a sigh before shooting a couple back herself. Now, though... now she had to deal with this shit. Somehow. And as much as she tended to appreciate working on her own... well. If there was a police officer involved...

... better to stick to their original plan. She crossed her arms and waited.

Hm.

Over-thinking things wasn't the Shaman way. It was the Warlock way though, luckily he had one on ice upstairs. He tucks the letter back in his pocket and walks back into the unlocked lobby. Just another white dude who wasn't just ejected by someone who's sick right now. Don't mind him.

He heads over to the stairs and makes his way up to the third floor. When he encounters Mandy, he hands her the letter for review. "Update. What do you want to do?"

[Zodiac]

It took her only a few moments to look over the letter, before she sighed. "Can you seal this up again?" she inquired. This could be just the thing. It had been put into the wrong box... so they were simply returning it. Or something. It was a good way in, anyway, and could allow for the sparking up of conversation. If they weren't already suspicious - which she imagined could be the case. "If so, we can simply 'return' the letter to her as though we picked it up from the wrong box."

Time for another spell? Possibly. She wasn't really looking forward to it, but it might help.

[Snarlequin]

He takes back the letter and tucks it neatly into the envelope it came in. He waves his other hand over it and intones in a deep voice, "Abracadabra."

Then he winks and brings the envelope up to his mouth, licking the glue on the flap to seal the letter up, just as good as new. It was his plan all along, or at least he'd claim it was. "That sounds like a plan, ma'am. Looks like it's your show now, so take the lead."

He hands her the letter, then snaps his finger by his ear and dismisses his hex. Prince Charming suffered enough.

[Zodiac]

A series of quiet casts went off as Mandy dropped all of her spells and reprepared for meeting these people. "Remember we're just returning this. If you can, please try and get a glimpse out the window and see if it's looking out over where it should - if you can casually ask about it, do, if you don't have the opportunity, though, don't. They may already be suspicious, and we don't want to make it worse.

"Additionally, for story purposes, I just had a fight with my ex. He left - but he also had my keys. As in, I can't get into my apartment right now. Hopefully this will grant us an opening to sit with them for a little bit. If there's a child, you'll wanna be careful, don't be creepy, you know?"

As her Imposter set itself in place, her hair became a bit longer, and black, her skin a little more olive, and her eyes widened taking on a darker brown colour. She was only slightly taller - barely noticeable - but her voice took on a slightly younger lilt, hinting a little bit at an Eastern European accent.

  Combined: Misperception(pot1)/Third Eye(pot2), Effective Manip 4 (-1 mana), Imposter (pot4)
