Lina

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

[ Oh wow, that's a lot of faith in her. But huh . . . ]

Does this count as a secret meeting?

[breakingvoice]

Mm. It depends how much of this you want to keep secret.

[Lina has... very few preferences, though she thinks she can guess what level of secrecy Natalia might want to keep given the things that have happened tonight. she might be diametrically opposed to Lina, in that sense, as far as telling Clover goes.]

[nachetanya]

I always keep things at least a little confidential. [ She takes her drink, and she takes a little sip from it. Leaning back against the bar, she rocks it as she explains, ]

That's the rule about dates, isn't it? No names to other people until you're ready to call it dating. So something between friends is for us.

[breakingvoice]

I like the way you think.

[and Lina's perfectly okay being wrong in this case. secrecy is much better than spite. after she says that, she takes another sip from her drink, but she's smiling past it.]

And thanks for reminding me to keep this at a... reasonable pace. You know? [given what she'd said earlier tonight and all.]

Mio

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

Ooh, that's a good one!

[ Even if she's really kind of shocked that the girl would just up and say this on camera out here in public? Still, Nat makes the recording regardless, and she hums to herself, zooming in on Mio's face. ]

Big, strong hands? Or is it more just the size of the guy?

[promisedyou]

[Mio honestly can't help but feel a little flustered, but she honestly doesn't mind in the slightest bit. It doesn't bother her.]

Well, I mean... it's also about the location, you know. That's the vital part. Otherwise, I would have just said "I want him to pin me".

[nachetanya]

That's true. But here's a thought - is it that car, or just a car? Are you after the smell there?

[promisedyou]

Huh?

[...she can't help but blush, a little bit]

I don't think it's about the smell, it's kind of the fact that it's his that's important. Also I guess the fact that it's somewhat public is a turn-on?

Jamie

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

[ Well, in terms of "clues," there is something there! There's a watch in the water there, as well as a little locket. The watch is a fancy waterproof watch. And there's also well...

The locket is there. ]

[floret]

[ HMMMM!

He's not really sure what kind of pose a noir detective would strike in a situation like this, so he just leans over while kinda rubbing his chin. ]

Personal effects of the vic, I'd say. Better check it out to make sure.

[ He fishes the watch out of the water... and then puts it on the mannequin arm's wrist. ]

A perfect fit! And now this...

[ He fishes out the locket.
Then he spends a couple seconds trying to open it up, but his fingernails aren't quite long enough to fit in the gap, and he can't do it... silently, he hands it to Natalia instead. ]

[nachetanya]

[ No, okay, fair enough. Taking it into her right (biological) hand, Natalia makes to open it for Jamie and inside there is...! Well, when she hands it back, it reveals - a bird. It's a picture of a cockatoo. But when she hands it back it's with an apologetic smile for not setting up the prop well. The minute he takes it, she'll be reverting back to the femme fatale type vibe though, she didn't more or less cosplay Jessica Rabbit for nothing here. ]

[floret]

[ HE WOULD BE UPSET IF HE KNEW SHE BLAMED HERSELF...
this is a personal problem...
he struggles a lot with keychains too

Anyway, he takes the locket, examines the cockatoo sternly, and then: ]

Madame, do you know this bird?

Akane

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

Well then, let's get going. Hope you've been working out some theories, like a good dick.

[ As in a detective. But she hums to herself, turning with a sensual sashay of her hips to lead Akane out away from the crime scene towards somewhere around and out of the alley she's got her "lab" set up. ]

[physix]

I hope something good turns up!! We worked hard together to find the truth.

[Poor John Doe....he's still nameless. ]

Is there a backup plan for this? What if we don't find anything important?

[nachetanya]

Now, now, should a big shot detective really sound so lacking in confidence?

[ And around the corner they go and ... into the CVS. The lab is apparently this CVS. ]

Christian

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

[ Damn, and here she was hoping! Ah well, she stands and with a little grin she hums as an idea hits her... and yes ]

And we try each other's drinks?

[axeswing]

Yup!

[ He beams, only pausing briefly to look away from the book with relaxed shoulders. ]

I mean... unless you don't want to. I just thought it'd be fun, it's like a game!

[nachetanya]

If it's a game, what do you want to bet on it?

[ Of course she goes there. Her lips curl up a bit. ]

[axeswing]

Bet on? [ flashbacks to high school musical ] Hmm... oh! Something like loser has to carry the winner home!

[ SOMETHING PURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Rose

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

[ Fucking score? Her smile turns briefly into a little bit of a smirk, but she rights it soon enough! The bright smile persists as she gently shifts to squeeze the other's hand. Given Natalia's other hand is a prosthetic this does limit her range of motion some, but worth it for the highlighted vibe here. ]

Well then, how then can I comfort my champion of the people!

[ She'll even bat her eyelashes.

... she's laying this one super thick, performative. ]

Minako

[nachetanya]

[ Continued from here ]

Well I sure was, and she doesn't have hours today, [ Maybe. Does Cleo ever have days off? Well if all the police vanished... ] so I wasn't going to take no for an answer!

[ It's said with a bright smile, but there's an edge in her red eyes. Perhaps... no, she is genuinely hurt that Cleo's missing. She's genuinely irritated. Hurt. ]

yes!! sorry for my slowness!!

[complementing]

[Minako hums softly, searching the woman's face before nodding.]

I'm sure she would've gone with you, if this hadn't happened. All the more reason to help Zee with those errands this month.

[Cleo's dating life is in jeopardy here.]

But in the meantime, I hope I can be a nice enough substitute. What was your name again?

It's cool!!!

[nachetanya]

Natalia Fairweather, my fine substitute!

[ Her prosthetic left hand remains at her side, but she offers out her right for the other to take for a moment. That said, she does glance at the packages she has. Is there... ah, right, that was one of the challenges. So that'll be their "Date" here.

.. Still... ]

But for not knowing me, that's a lot of confidence in Cleo's intentions!

♥

[complementing]

[Minako gives her hand a firm shake.]

Are you related to Zack Fairweather, by any chance? I worked with him a lot at ReVA.

[And then a little laugh leaves her.]

When I first met her, she wasn't the kind of person who expected to keep friends. But it's been a while since then, and I'd like to think she's learned a little about herself. She's a very kind woman...she wouldn't turn you away if she realized you were earnest about it.
