[Lalli has not been very cooperative since the fire. Even on vacation he's spent most of his time in slow motion, staring off at nothing. Even today he's not meeting anyone's eyes, and is instead looking out a window. Or at a wall, if there's no window.]
Once they've waited for a bit, the boss will be bringing in the two newbies. Surprise, it's Yamato and Ichinose! And SL, because why not. He wanted to be with his big brother.]
All right. You four [five?], introduce yourselves.
[ HE STILL HATES THAT ANIME GIRL BUT oh!! ah!!!! they've been here so long (...have they) that yamato is genuinely shocked to see both lalli and lux. but also kind of happy to see familiar faces despite the absolutely shitty circumstances]
You guys are here, too?!
[ :o
In his excitement, yamato has forgotten that he is currently a cat with a bandaged eye holding a baby. it's fine. don't question him and his perked up ears and swaying cat tail ]
[ lux gives a concerned glance to lalli, because a lot of crazy stuff has happened here, too! but her cute school uniform hides most of her own lingering bruises and cuts and healing burns so it's... fine! she's fine! to ichinose: ]
You should be calling me by my first name by now, don't you think?
[Actually seeing Yamato and Ichinose will immediately pull him away from his emo phase and into pure shock. He wasn't expecting to see anyone he recognized.]
[This CYOA will be nice and not interrupt their conversation, but as they're talking, they will get the feeling that they're told about their next mission.
There's a hideout that's suspected of being used in (hybrid) human trafficking. Their job is to infiltrate it (or just waltz right in, whichever works), confirm this, and free the captives, as well as arrest the people behind it.
They're given the coordinates of the locations, before they're led to a garage and given the keys to a car, which they'll be using to drive to the place. (Hey, Lalli and Lux can fly, but Yamato and Ichinose have to get their transportation somehow, unless the others want to carry them.) But they can keep talking as this happens. Also, pick your driver.
—I almost forgot, Yamato can leave SL behind unless he really wants to bring him.]
... Uh, it's a long story. I'll explain later. [ to both lux and lalli, because he's not sure how to begin to explain it! because he does not know why he is a cat, and because "ichinose's stalker hired someone to kill me" is a lot. his tragic cat orphan backstory is a lot. he also leaves SL behind with a very tender "i'll see you later" moment, because he loves his construct baby brother thanks. they're moving and talking as they get the mission, and yamato immediately grabs the car keys to hand them to ichinose once it's obvious they're going to have to drive. ]
Ichinose-san, you're the only one with a driver's license, so you'll be driving us. [ in a no-nonsense tone. he's already lost an eye he'd rather not lose a limb in a car crash too. he's calling shotgun though? that's important. ] Long story short, Ichinose-san has a stalker and I think he's the main bad guy of this... [ his cat ear twitches ] place, now? So we were hired because of that.
[Taking the car keys! Her car keys now. This car is also her baby now.
As they? Presumably? Approach the car and get settled.]
Remember to buckle up, everyone. The laws of the road are not to be ignored. [So lightly, like Yamato wasn't just explaining how she has a stalker.] ... But like Ishida-kun said, that's about the gist of it. His name is Rae-san. Ring any bells?
[Anyway! Assume she is at least a semi-competent driver. Respects traffic lights and everything, wow.]
[ well this is kind of like a carriage??? she guesses??? so lux will climb in. someone please help her to buckle up she does not know what that means. ]
... Never heard of him. We haven't really been getting to know anyone on our missions.
Don't know him. We met a lot of people, but not that person.
[Lalli immediately climbs into the backseat and lays down face-down across the whole seat. Unless all three of you want to sit up front and let Lalli commune with the seat, someone will have to poke him to move.]
[Sure hope they figure out their seating arrangement. Is someone going to have to sit on someone else's lap because Lalli has hogged three seats to himself? Respect car safety rules, children.
Anyway, as they approach the area, they'll see that it's a building blocked off by a tall fence. The gate is open, though, and just wide enough that Ichinose could ram the car through if she wanted.
Are you going for full-frontal assault, or will you park the car elsewhere and go for the discreet route?]
[ yamato is going to make lalli sit down properly if it kills him AND will teach lux how to buckle up. do not make him parent or he will make ichinose turn this car around. but then off they are to our actual plot and since we're on a timer, i guess they can vote on it ]
The gate's open, but-- park the car. We don't know what's waiting for us in there, so we should try and sneak in first so we don't draw a crowd.
[ ... and for the sake of not going in blind (more than he already is); ]
I don't know what kind of powers you guys got, but I can fight in close combat or with these knives, and Ichinose-san has these ... talismans. That do things.
[ could he sound less like he knew what they did? yes. because he has no clue. ]
[I mean, she is parking this car either way? In the nearest secluded spot she can find, hopefully away from the building's field of vision. Please do not destroy the car. They still gotta get out of here somehow.]
That's right. They do things. [Jazz hands! Yaaay!] ... Well, to be honest, I made a little mistake with my last batch. So they're kind of hit or miss. Oops!
[But, yeah. Were the shovel, knife and scalpel tragically killed by heterosexuality? Or does she still have them? Either way, she exits the car once they're parked, taking a look at the building.]
Are we ready?
[Is there any way to get in from the back, or is the opening in the fence the only way to go?]
anyway, yamato will peek around the opening to see if there's anything in the way and if there isn't, well. sneaking in time? ]
Last time, it worked when we pretended Ichinose was trying to bring me in as a new experiment, so... maybe we can try that again if we get caught. Until then, let's be careful.
[ this is just fun racism lore for lux and lalli, who is definitely present and sulking about his dead boyfriend ]
Lalli's powers wear him out, so it's best we save them. But I could fly us over one by one?
[ she twirls her broom like a baton! again, this should be a very difficult thing with the balance of a broom, but she manages. there's room for two at a time! ]
yamato's ears go flat on his head and he looks at ichinose to see if there is any way she can sell this again with her bad lying skills because racism means he can't even PRETEND to not be a terrible liar ]
Ichinose looks at this dude. Looks at the gang. Well.]
Are you for real? [She sighs, shoving her hands in her pockets.] Does no one tell you anything? This is ridiculous. Are you really supposed to be here?
[Unfortunately, this goon isn't as dumb as some of the others they've faced, so he knows that these people are not his coworkers?? Wow???
Anyway, he starts shooting. This unfortunately draws the attention of other people in the area, who come over and start shooting. I'm not going to make you all write out more fight scenes, so you can assume you won—and hey, they conveniently have keys on their bodies that you can loot.
With that said, I rolled the following, so:
Yamato: 5, so he's probably getting skimmed by a bullet or something. Ichinose: 3... so she's probably getting somewhere not vital or immediately crippling shot. Lux: 6, so also skimmed by a bullet or something. Lalli: 2 WHY IS EVERYONE'S LUCK SO BAD
Anyway, you can make these as better or worse as you want. But you're not dead, and you have keys, so you can probably waltz in through the front door now?]
[ IM IN TEARS OUR LUCK IS SO BAD anyway now that it's over i rolled that yamato was skimmed on his arm because that seems about right. he lets someone else grab the keys and has both knives out so they can start waltzing in, i guess! ]
Forget stealth, let's just hit them first and hit them hard.
[ he'll like. take front because im first and also he is a close combat attacker now i guess im in tears ]

Really? That's amazing! You have to show me how it works sometime, Luxanna-chan.
[Pours one out for her shovel... Glad she has this terrible knife memento of the day heterosexuality struck, though. Wow.]
Hmm... It's too bad we can't climb that fence. If only we had a way to go over it.
[Well. Technically Lux and Lalli could, but.]
