[Police radio and sirens indicate thefts on Pennyroyal Lane]

Eel skates along Penny Royal lane, looking for signs of trouble.

Eleven rushes out of LUcky Finds with hoagie in hand. He looks for the sign of the villains.

Valencia walks onto the street from Colonial Heights, her hands stuffed into her pockets.

Eleven takes a bite into the hoagie and glances around. The Eel. Up to no good again probably. Eleven points his sandwhich at The Skater. "Eel, what are you doing here?"

Eel says, "Responding to the reports on the police scanner."

Several stores have clearly been "hit" so far. Thoguh where the rapidly moving figure is now emerging from is the diner! The sharp-sighted may spot a burger in her hand.

Eleven glances over to the burger. "Ah, over there.the Hamburgler!"

Eleven points his Hoagie over to the thief. "Stop!"

The street is in something of a state of uproar, between angry shop-owners and spectators.

Valencia blinks, her attention drawn to the thief. "The hell?"

The thief spots Eleven and starts running rapidly up the road, the other way! Eating as she goes.

Eleven takes another bite at his hoagie as well looking to see what objects are near the speedster. Perhaps he can blast something to block her path.

Eel skates after the thief, recklessly, trying to keep up.

Valencia blinks as the thief heads in her direction, though she freezes as to what to do about it.

Eleven shouts at the bystanders, "Don't you go looting now!" He takes out his gun and tries to blast a lampost so that the over hang drops on or in front of the speedster.

Dash gives Eel a good run. She seemingly doesn't have to break a sweat to outrun him, and seems to be having run leading him between the cars, to judge by the wicked grin she throws over her shoulder.

Even at this range Jack can hit a stationery lamppost.

Unfortunately the bullet passes clean though the lamppost instead of knocking it over.

Eleven growls. "Damn it."

Eleven looks around to see where the big guy is. Last time there was a big guy.

The big guy isn't in sight...

Eel calls out to the speedster, pointing. "Watch out for that lamppost!"

Valencia assumes the role of bystander, watching the heroes go at it.

Dash ducks out of sight for a second, but is so far ahead Eel still hasn't caught her up when she reappears.

Eleven is eating the Hoagie and decides not the chase. The villain is too fast and he'll get cramps. He lets Eel deal with that person. Staying behind, he looks for clues.

Eel tries to duck out of sight of the speedster, crouching down and following her by gliding along the sidewalk, hoping the line of parked cars will cover his pursuit.

Dash looks about, shrugs, and climbs up a fire escape onto the roof of a nearby building.

Valencia watches Dash go and starts moving across the street towards the building, trying to keep track of the speedster.

She would seem to be cornered on the roof, unless there's some back way down.

Eel tries to sneak past to the next building and climb up the fire escape unseen, onto the adjacent rooftop.

Eleven see the shops look all very hit-and-run. Like she just grabbed some shiny items quickly and at random, with no real planning, and got away before anyone could react: yhough she's gone for some stores like jewelers, she's probably getting nothing like the haul of the last robbery.

Dash is standing on the rooftop when you reach the neighbouring roof. She hasn't seen you.... She seems to have finished her stolen food, and looks fully rested.

Eel tries to leap the distance between the roofs and get the drop on the speedster. He'll skate up and try to grab her, in the patented Eel Clinch!

Eel grabs the ladder and skates towards the edge of the roof. As he approaches the edge, he sets down the ladder, clanking it down to span the gap between rooves. Then, he tries to grind the across the rails of the ladder, onto the roof and to try and grab the speedster

Dash hears the ladder hit the ground so isn't totally surprised...

Dash wheels to face the noise and dodges aside at the last minute, narrowly escaping Eel's grasp....

Eel thinks. o O ( Crud )

Valencia frowns, looking up as Eel goes onto the roof. She doesn't want to leave him alone, looking to either side to make sure the view from the street is more or less obscured before crouching down and jumping to try and get on the rooftop.

Dash laughs inhumanly yet lightly. "You're a tricky one - you amost had me there! But I'm not that easy to catch!" And she runs to the edge of the roof and leaps clear across the street. And several buildings down it.

Eel blinks... "Well... Damn."

A police car in the street below suddenly drives off, sirens blaring.

Valencia lands of the roof just in time to see Dash disappear. "Son of a..."

Eel spots Valencia, landing on the roof. "Val..?!"

Dash turns about, waves, shouts something you probably can't hear, then leaps clear out of sight in a different directiom.

Valencia stands up, dusting herself off. "Hey." She replies to Eel, "Looked like you needed some help so I just climb-" She turns to see the ladder propped up between the buildings. "Son of a..." Finally she looks towards where Dash is going. "Huh."

Eel shakes his head. "No way I'm catching her again. Better see where the sirens are heads." A puase. To Val he says, "Speedy partner's been spotted."

"She said that she's off to the real party now." Valencia tells Eel. "Lord knows what that means."

Eel says, "A bank robbery. Let's go!"

Eleven waves his gun around to try to hijack a car to take him to the bank area.

Eel starts to grind downt he fire escape and starts to skate, following the sirens.

Valencia blinks at Eel. "Let's go?" She asks Eel's back, staying on the roof.

Jack finds traffic is a bit dense for a high-speed drive. Even the police, with their sirens, are slowed.

Eleven frowns and tosses the guy a 50 and takes off running instead. If he can find a biker he'll hijack that instead.

Eel skates down the rail of the fire escape, sparks flying from where his electric field grates against the old metal. "Yeah, let's go get the bad guys!" he calls back to Val.

Valencia rolls her eyes. "Catch the bad guys. Right." She heads for the fire escape, waiting until Eel is gone to use it.

[Main Street: outside the bank]

Things seem worryingly.... aftermath-ish as you pull up at the bank. A lot of police are already here, looking a bit shell-shocked.

Eleven frowns. "Damn it. We are too late?" Jack looks around for clues. Did they go underground again?

Eel skids to a stop. He tries to find a cop to talk to. "What happened?"

Could be. There are lots of witnsses, and cops about.

This cop doesn't seem very friendly. "I suppose *you* know nothing about it," he sneers.

Eleven looks for tracks. Big heavy guy should have some remnants...

The police are largely questioning the witnesses, and it's clear they don't have much of a grasp what's going on lately.

Eel says, "I'm just trying to help.... I'm one of the good guys now!"

"If you want to help, maybe you can tell us why you turned up all of a sudden. With that vigilante, no less."

Eel says, "Just followed the flashing lights."

"Uh-huh. Well, if you stand over there, we'll get to you after these good folks."

He goes back to quesioning witnesses.

Eleven kneels down to the ground. "Damn it. Did he tunnel again?" Jack goes to the nearest manhole to search the sewers.

Eleven finds it looks like someone punched his way into the back from the nearest sewer - direct route.

Eleven meets the police following the tunnel the other way.

Eleven tries to avoid the police and go seek out the big bone head.

Eel shakes his head, muttering under his breath. He goes to the manhole that Eleven is checking out, from curiousity. He looks up in surprise, then hops down the manhole himself.

The police in the sewers shout, "Hey you two! This is a crime scene!"

Eel looks around a bit, ignoring the police warnings for a bit.

Eleven spots the second big obvious hole in the tunnel as he's heading oceanward. Well, it's not that obvious - it's up a side tunnel. Looks like it's blasted clean out to someone's basement. All pretty close to the bank.

Eel follows Eleven, not heeding the policeman's instructions.

Eleven is exploring the second blasted hole looking at someone's basement. "Where does this lead?" He looks around for clues.

Eleven can find some tracks - both of Bash and Dash. But on the whole, this seems to lead nowhere much. Empty house. Or so it seems, till you find the old lady tied up.

Eleven sighs and goes to untie the old lady.

Eel follows Eleven. He checks around the house, while Eleven frees the lady.

The old lady seems more frightned than hurt. She goes on and one about how these two demons attacked her....

Eleven nods to the old lady trying to get important info from her story.

Eleven looks through the fridge for lemonade and apple pie in the process.

The lady breaks into tears of gratitude and keeps calling Eleven a good boy. Apple pie is, in fact, offered!

Eleven thanks the Lady and accepts the apple pie. He asks the old lady how did the demons get in to her place in the first place.

Eleven distracts the lady so that Eel can look for clues by listening to her stories and asking questions.

"They rang the doorbell and I thought it must be the mailman so I opened the door - well, just on the chain, but then they pushed it open and the chain snapped!"

Eleven nods. "Then what happened? Wow, this is good apple pie!"

• munch* *munch*

Eel says, "Did they call each other by name? Any distinctive features about them, ma'am?"

She's beginning to calm down now and get more into telling the story. "Well, they asked me if anyone else was here and I tried to fool them that my son was about but they didn't believe it, and then they tied me up - *she* did that, i didn't even have time to struggle! And then they went down to the basement and I didn't here much more, except one came up again...."

"Oh yes, he called her Dash and she called him Bash - or was it the other way around? No, that's right...." And yes, her had these big horns or bones or something all over, and she was a little scaly I think and her legs were strange: they bent the wrong way...

Eleven asks the old Lady, "Where did the person who returned go?"

"Out the front door I think, but I was tied up in the kitchen and couldn't see... more pie?"

Eleven nods to the Lady, "Thanks."

Eleven asks Eel, "Anything outside?"

She serves up more pie: to Eel too. "I remmeber thinking how normal they seemed for demons, and the way they talked to each other, i'd swear they were family."

"On it," Eel says checking outside. He takes some pie, because it would be rude not to.

Eleven takes a look outside as well, using his tracking, deduction, and perception abilities and skills.

"Oh, that was the other funny thing - why would demons have suitcases?"

Eleven blooks back. "Suit Cases?"

Eel says, "I would think to carry their loot."

"Yes, they had suitcases when they came. I remember thinking, now what does a demon want with a suitcase?"

Eleven asks the Lady, "What kind of suitcases were they?" He thinks he sees something. "Eel come here.."

Eleven shows Eel some demon tracks on the doorsteps. Some Human footprints leading to and from them? From the demon tracks?

Eel grumbles, a little tired of Eleven bossing him around. Stilll he comes over.

"Oh, I don't know, one of those newfangled hover-ones that makes everything lighter, I think. I don't like them myself. My son said it would make things easier, but once I put one down at the top of the hill and next thing I knew...!"

Eleven seems to enjoy bossing Eel around.

Eleven nods to the Old Lady. "really! Interesting."

Eleven asks Eel, "What do you make of these tracks?"

Eleven explains to Eel what he thinks. "This suggests that the humans became demons at the front door, on the way . LEaving they sem to have been human already. "

At this point there's some commotion from the basement.

Eleven hurries back to the basement. "Come on Eel. Let's get tot he basement. Something's happening."

Eel grrss, followign Eleven again.

Unfortunately, it proves to be the police, caught up at last.

Eleven frowns and pushes Eel foward to deal with the police. "Stall them" He then goes back to check on the track again.

"Hey guys..." Eel says. "Uhm.. what's happening..?"

Eel thinks. o O ( #$#1711ing Eleven )

Eleven thinks . o O (So the demon has been released? Is this related? Damn it Need to talk to Vicky again.)

Fortunately, the old lady rushes to Eel's rescue, explaining what good boys you are and offering lemonade and apologising for the lack of pie but offering cookies.

Eleven wonders. . o O (Which demon is this?? Is it Jace? DC's demons? Amy's chest demon? Crap..)

As far as Eleven can make out, the tracks end probably where a car was parked around the corner.

Eleven exits and goes around the corner to take a look.

Eleven kicks the ground. "Geez! Always a step behind."

Eleven looks for witnesses.

Eleven mumbles to himself. "Need to find the getaway car"

The area is a bit run-down - the house was nicer inside than out. But it's still a residential street (albeit one unusually far downtown) and there may well be witnesses.

Eleven realises it's a reisdents' parking only area, so it's *possible* they may have been ticketed, if not residents.

Eleven hrms and keeps something in mind while looking for witnesses.

Eel says, "Hey, officers. We think the getaway car was parked in the vicinty. Maybe you should check for recent parking tickets in the area. Maybe we'll catch a break."

Witnesses are not much in evidence, it must be said. If they're here, it's probably behind closed doors....

Eleven knocks on doors and threatens violence if no one cooperates.

This police officer seems about as sceptical of Eel as the other one, but sets someone chasing the matter up, anyway.

Must be a day for it. You get another little old lady. She saw a lot today, she says. But mostly she seems to be referring to birds. She's happy to talk at length about all the birds she saw out her window.

Eleven growls and decides to stop before the police bust him.

Indeed, the police are watching annoying closely.

Eleven returns to join up with Eel and try some lemonade. He asks the old lady for recipes. Good to give them to Amy for furture yumminess.

She's had a good talk with the police and found out some interesting things about the robbery, by this point. "But I still don't understand why a demon would want all that money!"

Eleven hrms. "Greedy demons. Eel, did you find anything out from the coppers?"

Eel shrugs. "They have someone running it down. Doubt they'll tell me, though."

Eleven says, "What happened at the bank, Eel?"

Eleven glances over to the old Lady to see if she found out anything.

"Apparently it was very exciting. The big demon tried to punch through the bank vault, and nothing happening, and they thought he wasn't going to do it. But every time he hit it it hummed louder and louder and then he just punched it and it cracked open like a walnut!"

Eleven hrms. "What do you make of that Eel? You should be familiar with this stuff."

Eel hmm. "not sure. I'll poke around to see if I can find something."

She offers another cookie and says, "So I thought it set up a sympathetic vibration in the vault which was weakening it so the final blow made it give easily, and then I thought, where does a demon learn physics like that?"

Eleven blinks at the old lady wondering if she is just recanting that from the police or she was there.

The old lady sees Jack's and laughs. "Oh, you don't live to be my age without picking up a thing or two."

Eleven says, "You are something. What's your name again?"

"Edith Waterman. And you're not quite what people say yourself, are you, young man?"

Eleven grins. "Im just happy to taste your apple pie and lemonade, Edith." He seems a bit flattered.

Eleven sips some more lemonade.

Eleven gets the recipes and heads out. "Thanks Edith."

Eleven leaves and heads back to Penny Royal Lane.

Eleven leaves Main Street South and enters E. Colonial Heights Blvd..

[scene change: Lucky Finds]

Shoro *POP*s in..literally..."I've got nada on the tickets and crap on the Mistonik group..what were we looking for?

Amy says, "Does anyone want tea or anything?"

Eleven sighs and hands Amy some recipes. "Its those Bash and Dash culprits again. They robbed the bank while distracting us over here."

Eleven smiles to Amy, "Sure thing Amy!"

Amy says, "Again? Who are they?"

Shoro nods.."That would be nice Amy.."

Amy heads to the back room to make tea, leaving the door open so she can hear.

Shoro looks at Jack.."I've got nothing..the police database kicked me out, hard, I'll have to find another way in."

Shoro says, "Do you know when it was ticketed?"

Eleven explains. "You know.. those two who robbed the mall jewlery store that other day? Anyways, Eel and I were around so we went to check it out." Jack sighs. "But we were too late. "The big guy, bash, went through the sewers and i chased after. They came up over at some Old lady's place. Nice gal." He points to the recipes. "Got some apple pie, cookies and lemonade recipes from her." Jack chuckles and continues. "Anyways. I tracked them down to the parking lot. I was thinking if they were parked there illegally they might have gotten a ticket. But I saw demon and human tracks. Or what the lady claims to be demon.:

Eleven nods to shoro and gives a time estimate.

Amy says, "They looked kind of demony, right?"

Amy says, "Ooh, recipes!"

Shoro nods.."Perhaps some surveillance in the parking lot area?..was it private or public?"

Eleven says, "I dunno. I didn't seem them Amy"

Amy looks up as the door opens. "Come in! Oh, hi Kibin!"

Amy says, "But you shot one!"

Eleven tells Shoro, "It was for resident's only."

Eleven nods to Amy. "Yeah i shot the rhino head."

Eleven says, "But it didn't stop him."

Amy says, "Yeah, but you saw him then!"

Shoro nods.."have you asked around?"

Kibin comes in, looking around, and wondering why a lot of people seem to be here.

Valencia walks into the shop, her hands in her pockets as she looks around.

Eleven says, "Just old ladies everywhere over there. Talking about birds and crap."

Shoro shuts up as Kibin and val enter.

This is a store. It makes sense that a successful business has people in it.

Amy says, "Are you here to talk about the robbery and stuff or are you customers?"

Shoro nods.."let me check it out.."

Eleven nods a greeting to Kibin and Val.

Kibin says to Amy, "I was just wondering why people seem to be collecting here."

Valencia shakes her head at Amy. "Just browsing...But I'm sorry about what happened on this street. It's a real mess."

Shoro looks at Jack and Amy.."I'll be back.."

Shoro leaves Lucky Finds.

Amy says, "Uh-huh and you know what? They didn't even keep the stuff they stole!"

Eleven nods to Amy, "It was a distraction."

Eleven tells Kibin. "Duh. this is a store. What do you think. Geez."

Amy says, "Uh-huh they found the stuff on a roof."

Eleven says, "Stuff still up there?"

Kibin says to Eleven, "People I know, then."

Shoro (back near the old lady's) looks to see if the parking area is under surveillance.

Eleven says, "We get around dude. What's your problem, Kibin."

Amy says, "I guess the police have it for evidence now or something."

Valencia sighs at Amy, looking out on the street.

>From afar, Shoro(Yutaka) nods, I'll use my acting skill for the security guards.

Eleven says, "What did they find, Amy?"

Kibin sighs, and asks Amy, "What are you talking about?"

Eleven asks Valencia. "Did you see anything that can help? We can't seem to stop thse crooks."

Amy says, "Oh, we're talking all about the robbery made by this fast kind of demon-woman called Dash, except she didn't keep the stuff and it was all just a distraction from a bank robbery!"

Eleven tells Amy, "So they were carrying these hover cases or something? I dunno. "

Valencia quirks a brow at Eleven. "Why are you asking me?"

Amy says, "Huh, hover cases?"

Kibin asks Amy, "Was the bank robbery stopped at least?"

Amy says, "Uh-uh, because of the distraction!"

Eleven nods to Amy, "that' what the old lady, Edith said." he shakes his head at Kibin. "nope. They got away." He answers Valencia. "Well, you said sorry and keep looking outside like you know something."

Eleven smiles at Val.

Eleven says, "This place didn get hit."

Eleven glances at Amy, "Did it?"

Valencia shrugs at Val. "I just heard something that...Dash woman said was all. She was just talking about the bank robbery, though."

Eleven says, "You heard her? You must of been pretty close then. How come you didn't nab her?"

Amy says, "Uh-uh. I wish I'd know what was happening though, I would have helped!"

Eleven says, "Its ok Amy, We'll get them next time."

Eleven says, "I just need to talk to Vicky again. She knows stuff about demons."

Kibin looks at the stuff in Amy's shop, being careful not to knock anything over with his tail.

Valencia facepalms at Eleven. "She was jumping across the street. I can't keep up with that."

Eleven rolls his eyes at Valencia. "Whatever."

Valencia sighs. "Eel couldn't either. I've never seen someone move like that. She was shouting it back to us."

Eleven seems frustrated. "We are always a step behind. This sucks!"

Eleven rubs his head trying to think.

Kibin says to Eleven, "Next time that happens, you could always split up and see if it's a distraction for something else."

Valencia shrugs at Eleven. "Sorry. What did you want me to do?"

Eleven stares at Kibin as if he was insulting him. "Are you out of your mind? We didnt know till afterwards."

Eleven shrugs at Valencia. "Something! Throw an apple at her or soemthing."

Eleven tells Valencia. "I KNOW you are capable."

Valencia rolls her eyes. "I'd just gotten to the roof when she ran away. You're gonna need to surprise her to take her out."

Kibin says to Eleven, while looking at various antiques, "Notice I said next time..."

Eleven says, "Notice that next time is always different Kibin."

Eleven says, "Im sure they aren't stupid enough to do the same thing twice."

Eleven tells Amy, "Im sorry. I am really mad right now."

Kibin says to Eleven, "Or they might do it again because we expect them to not be stupid enough to do the same thing twice."

Eleven replies to Valencia. "Can you believe this guy? He really has peanuts for brains." He then adds, "Val, did you get word of what they stole at the bank?"

Eleven asks Amy the same thing he asked to Val as well.

Valencia shakes her head. "I haven't been around the bank. I didn't chase her. I'm not a hero."

Kibin says to Eleven, a bit annnoyed by him by now, "If you don't prevent it from happening again, they will get away with it again..."

Eleven sighs to Val. "I don't care if you aren't a hero. If you aren't going to help, then don't get in the way ok? If you climb up on the roof, then It looks like you are tring to help up. If you aren't just stay out of the way, Val. Unless.. you are trying to get some of the look yourself."

Amy says, "Uh-uh, you could prevent it, Kibin, or someone else...."

Eleven tells Kibin. "Kibin you are an idiot. We dont know what they are doing to prevent them from doing it until it is to late. If you can help us figure out what they are doing, I'd appreciate it, but right now you are annoying."

Shoro comes back in after about 25 of the worst minutes of his professional life..he is carrying a computer..

Eleven blinks as Shoro returns. "What is that for?"

Valencia smirks at Eleven. "I didn't want Eel to be alone up there, that's all."

Shoro shakes his head.."Amy can Jack and I go out back?"

Amy says, "Uh-huh, sure!"

Eleven laughs at Val's answer. "So you got a thing for Eel? Hehe" It seems to cheer him up. He gets up and heads out with Shoro.

Valencia just rolls her eyes at Jack.

Shoro goes into the back area with Jack..slamming the door closed.

Kibin let's Eleven go, looking at some of the glass sculptures.

Eleven asks Shoro. "Ok, what's up?"

Amy says, "Do you like those, Kibin? Ooh!"

Shoro looks in the back for a computer hook up...then just gives up and puts his PDA feed into the computer.."god damn..stupid..son of a.." he starts cursing.."Jack, how're your computer skills?

Amy says, "I've got some dinosaur glass sculptures over here... oh, except this one's a unicorn. But the rest are dinosaurs!"

Kibin looks over at the dinosaur glass sculptures, then. Ooo, this one looks almost just like him!

Eleven shrugs at Shoro. "Um I know how to surf the web."

Amy grins. "I got it because it reminded me of you!"

Shoro groans.."I'm calling in an expert.."

Eleven nods to Shoro. "Ok."

Shoro takes his PDA back..

Valencia just looks around the store, though it doesn't look like her heart is in it.

Amy looks at Valencia. "Are you ok?"

Kibin asks Amy, "Where did you get it?" while studying the glass scuplturue.

Shoro says into the PDA, "Jade, your the computer expert right?"

Eleven comments. "You are asking that crazy lady?"

Valencia nods to Amy. "Yeah. I'm fine." She says, walking over to some old furniture.

Shoro turns to Jack.."shuddap Jack, If I wanted a gunman, I'd call you, I need a computer geek, I'm calling her," you can see hes got her on mute.

Amy says, "Oh, when I was away in New York a few weeks back, you know, this big trade fair thing, and then I saw all these glass dinosaurs in a market!"

Eleven says, "Then why did you call me in here? Geez."

Shoro feels like smacking Jack.."I didn't know if you had any computer skills or not dammit.." the frustration of his day is clearly getting to him..

Eleven is clearly frustrated as well.

Eleven says, "Ok, I'll be outside then."

Shoro nods, "She's on her way.."

Shoro nods he decides to go out as well.

Eleven exits and is back in the store with everyone else. Shoro follows him out

Shoro opens the door computerless and comes back out to the front.

Eleven folds his arms and looks pissed in general.

Shoro see's Val still here and goes over to her..he doesn't act like he knows her.."Miss see anything you like?" (trying to seem amiable..)

Eleven is standing there looking angry and mad.

Shoro just seems pissed when he asks that question to Val.

Valencia shakes her head, seeming to be a little put off by Shoro's advances. "No, no I'm fine..."

Shoro shakes his head..just pissed at the way his day is going.

Jade Dragon steps into the store mindfull of her size and with a dent in the chest which looks fresh. Taking a moment to see where shoro is.

Kibin asks Amy, "So you bought a bunch of those glass dinosaurs?"

Eleven goes over and taps Shoro. "HEy your geek is here."

Amy says, "Uh-huh! Do you like them?"

Valencia turns an actually sees Shoro. "Oh. Hey, sorry about that."

Kibin nods, and then asks, "How much is one?"

Shoro sees Jade..and nods to Jack.."Jade Dragon..this way.." his tone is brusque.

Jade Dragon sighs turning her head "I see the resident nutcase is already here"

Jade Dragon follows shoro back

Shoro waves off Val's apology.."My fault..sorry miss."

Eleven comments to Jade Dragon, "YEah he likes dinosaur crystals it seams."

Shoro looks at both.."Oh shut it...lets get to work."

Eleven goes over to Val. "So you into Eel or something?"

Shoro looks at amy as if to ask if its ok to go in the back again.

Jade Dragon shrugs "What do you need me to do?"

Amy says, "It's $16...."

Valencia facepalms at Eleven. "No."

Eleven says, "Then what did you mean by what you said?"

Shoro leads her back to the back..closing the door behind them.

Valencia sighs. "He was up there alone with Dash. Just in case something happened to him, you know."

Shoro points to the computer sitting there, he puts his PDA in and says, "Simple hack, there's a surveillance database, I want to see the surveillance."

Kibin hmmms, and asks Amy, "Can I buy that figurine that looks like me, then?"

Eleven nods to Val. "So you have some good in your heart after all huh? Not just some fake rubber thing in there?" Jack grins and teases.

Amy says, "Uh-huh!"

Jade Dragon listens and nods "so what day and hour do you need? or do you want everything?...might even havce to go in and datacarve things out if someone else had erased anything,....shouldn't be too bad..I hope"

Valencia narrows her eyes at Jack, falling silent for a moment before responding. "What? That doesn't make any sense."

Eleven shrugs at Val. "Nevermind. Anyways. Look its been a bad day." That's jack's way of explaining why he's been uber bad.

Shoro can hear val through the door and thinks. (He rarely does val, he rarely does.)

Kibin goes ahead and takes some money out of a pocket, then, and then pays Amy to buy the figurine and have it wrapped up to take home.

Amy wraps it up carefully for Kibin.

Valencia sighs. "Ok. I think it's been a little frustrating for everyone."

Eleven nods to Valencia. "Yeah.. Well thanks for understanding. He goes to sit down.

Kibin takes the figurine from Amy, and takes it carefully back home, then.

Jade Dragon gets ready and hooks the armor up to the computer standing before it only the fingers moving

Eleven asks Amy and Val, "Do you any of you know where this Miskatonic University is?"

Jade Dragon giggles in the armor "You called me for this hon?...I could have done this at 8...so what do you need from it?"

Shoro mumbles the times and area and what he's looking for...

Jade Dragon nods pulls the information and checks the headers of the files to insure there hasn't been tampering or that these files are bogus.

Shoro taps her forehead.."Business Jade..business."

Jade Dragon says, "I'm busy""

Shoro asks.."feed it into my PDA.

Eleven goes over to Amy and asks her if its ok to use her computer upstairs.

Jade Dragon nods and sends the data...but also oncesent she'll try and clean up the image and magnify the car for license and also if they can get the drivers face

The license plate, unfortunately, isn't visible, but the make and colour is indentifiable. And you get times of the people coming and going. They look quite human, though thr distance makes them hard to idnetify.

The car green, about ten years old, and has an identifiable dent.

Shoro says to Jade.."Need another favor..cross reference the Miskatonic University, cross reference it with Demons or Demonology, we're looking for something unusual with it.

Eleven goes back to sitting the store.

Jade Dragon nods "On it"

Shoro punches in some data to his PDA sending the Feed to Jack as a file.

Valencia waits, eyeing the door where Shoro and Jade are holed up.

Shoro tells Jade.."Cross reference it with the name :Harold Engstrom"

Shoro says, "And Magic Chests ..peraps."

Jade Dragon sighs "Ok ok...silly but ok"

There's only one link: Engstrom applied to Miskatonic but didn't get in. CBSU was his second choice.

Shoro says, "We're looking for a demon summoning ritual that a person by the name of harold engstrom, or any information on Harold engstrom, perhaps referencing a failed ritual leading to a demon being trapped in a chest,.."

Eleven glances over at Val.

Valencia looks back at Eleven. "Yeah?"

Eleven shakes his head. "Nothing."

Eleven glances over at Amy.

Jade Dragon says, "demon summoning ritual...got it"

Valencia shrugs.

Shoro says, "Also cross reference Vicki (whatsherface) in the library section if you can hack it to see the title of a book she may have borrowed cross referenced by any books of the same ISBN number that Harold Engstrom would have borrowed from their library.""

Success! Engstrom did take out several books on demonology by interlibrary loan. Good thing Miskatonic keeps such good records!

Eleven sighs and helps dust the antiques in the shop.

Shoro asks Jade if those are the books cross referenced with the books Vicki (whatsherface) borrowed.

Eleven goes over to Val, "So you interested in buying anything here?"

Eleven dusts off Val.

Valencia's hair gets all mussed up from the dusting. "Well, not really."

Eleven asks Valencia. "SO what are you sticking around for? You want to help or not

Valencia shrugs, trying to brush the duster away as she looks up. "I dunno. Got nowhere else to go."

Eleven tells Valencia. "Ok look. Here's what's up.. If you want to help. Go ahead. If not get out of here."

Eleven tells Val stuff.

"Ok." Valencia stands up and turns towards the door.

Shoro hears this through the door..

Eleven doesn't stop Val from leaving.

Valencia sighs, pausing as her PDA goes off. She lifts it to her ear while planting her other fingers on her forehead. "Why?"

Eleven goes up to take a shower.
