5th Inning

[freakinblur]

[To be frank, getting brainwashed for 12 hours scared the hell out of Scout. It happened so effortlessly, and he could do nothing to resist it. The idea of being stuck as one of those faceless drones bothered him more than he thought it would. Not that he would admit this in a thousand years. Not EVER.

He thought about keeping up that vandalism streak and show that pig Grady he meant business, but even he knows in the end, it'd get him nowhere. He had to relax and keep his head clear, to not let his temper get the best of him. He said he was going to come up with a plan to get out of here, and he meant it. He can't afford to let this town get under his skin - that was like letting them win. He already let his team and others down with the first plan being a failure. And thanks to that, half of them got droned too.

But first, he needed more info. He acted too fast with the first plan. Now, it's reconnaissance time. He's Scout after all; it's his job.]

[Filtered call to all non-drones oh hey look he can do that now]

Hey, guys... has anyone ever been inside the police station? The only cop I've ever seen is Grady. I bet if any there are clues about how people get and out of here, that's the best place to start. If we can distract Grady long enough, maybe we can get in there and check it out. Is there anyone else even IN there?

[And speaking of those people who got let down...

Flowers are delivered to 341 Brady and 1250 Williams. They're respectively addressed to Tifa and Margot. No sender is listed, but there is a small card attached to them reading "No hard feelings, I hope." Girls love flowers, right? Right.]

I know less than you mate.

I may be distracting Grady real soon though, so that could 'elp you out.

If I let you know when Grady will be out of the station, will you let me know what you find?

[fuelefficient.livejournal.com]

Try not to underestimate Officer Grady. He is most likely capable of bending space-time much like this city does.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, man! That's a great idea. You can keep 'em busy, an' I'll sneak in there an' see what's what. I'm not even sure what I might find in there, but I know there's gotta be something. When were ya plannin' on doin' that, anyway?

[supersizedpower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been in there. Just real briefly, though.

It just looks normal, but we didn't have time to go through any of his stuff.

[deflowers.livejournal.com]

I got in through the front door before he... [before he turned into RED Scout, tried to convince her to say in Mayfield forever, and then exploded all over her in a shower of blood. NOT GOING TO SAY THIS.] ...distracted me.

It looked completely normal.

[b-as-a-criminal.livejournal.com]

Umm... myself and an acquaintance have been inside at different times. Both times, it appeared to be deserted.

A proper investigation has yet to be conducted, however. If you are going to break in, at least take a camera or something.

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

…This may actually be a good idea.

[-1 Dignity point.]

[dynamic-may-lee.livejournal.com]

I've been in the station. There's not much to see.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

I was in there once, and it was completely abandoned. There weren't even any files or helpful clues.

[bloodon-myknife.livejournal.com]

I am thinking in another day or so I'll be ready to try. You let me know 'ow things go.

I can't promise I'll get the job done so I can't promise you much time mate.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

's alright man, you know I'm fast!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

....seriously? "Most likely"? Have you seen this happenin'?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I'm thinkin' we can get Sniper to keep him busy, so we can have more time to look around. See if there's an paperwork or somethin' maybe? How long ago was it that you were in there?

[bloodon-myknife.livejournal.com]

Of course mate.

I'll do my part. 'Opefully it'll go smoothly.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Distracted you? Is he really capable more than that mindwipe stuff? Shit....


I dunno, there's gotta me somethin' in this town... they gotta slip up somehwere.... I still think I wanna get in there an' take a look. It's my area of expertise after all!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I TOLD you I'd come up with somethin'! And who better to find their secret crap than BLU!

[supersizedpower.livejournal.com]

November.

I don't think that'll work. He'll just brainwash Sniper and get back to you, you'll only have a couple seconds at best. He moves fast.

Instead of trying to snoop around, a bug or a hidden camera might be more useful.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Nothing? That is so weird. They can't be perfect. They've had ta slip up somewhere....

What about city hall? And where does that milkman character hang out? I hear he pulls some weird crap, too.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Did ya get a good look at everything? Grady's one of the weirdos workin' for this place, I figure he's gotta be hidin' somethin' in there....

You know anything about city hall?

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

It was strange, they shouldn't have known we were coming. And even if they did, they couldn't have cleared out of there that quickly.

Um, I haven't been to city hall yet, and I'm afraid I don't know much about the milkman except that he did some bad things to the town.

oh god he still thinks you're Botswana.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Damn. That's disappointing. Well if a proper investigation is what we need, we should get on it! how about city hall, know anything about that?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

....

Goddamnit. Alright, I'll see if I can get my hands on a camera. That ain't a bad idea!

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

This isn't back at base, boy. You would be better off living up to your title and scouting the place before deciding to run in.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Well YEAH, I was plannin' on doin' that. I've only seen it from the outside so far, but apparently it's pretty normal inside. I don't need long to get in there an' and plant a camera or somethin'. From the sounds of it, we won't have much time before Grady teleports back, or whatever he does.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Somethin's fishy. There aren't any other cops, are there?

Then we need to look into those other two, too. Find out where the milkman sets up shop, and see what city hall's got hidin'!
