GWENYN ARRHEN
NIGHT: 2
CHOICE: A => A => B

Gwenyn looked up at the supposed Lead Architect and narrowed her eyes. He really did have a comb over, the tealblood had good eyes. The greenblood nodded to the other kids, giving them a slight acknowledgment. She watched as the perky boy finally showed his investigation skills, and she raised an eyebrow at it. "Using his lusus, clever..." She looked at the blueblood and the weasel he was hiding in his jacket. She pursed her lips and looked away, sarcastically adding-- "Classy,"

Sonnie DeFrog
Choice E

Sonnie wasn't the type of troll to bother another troll in a hurry, even during a big investigation. He simply assumed that the troll didn't want to put up with his puppet antics, and ran off to take care of important matters. Important matters like the stuff adult trolls did. Yeah.

Instead, he followed after the other volunteers, falling into place among the crowd. It felt nice being a non-assuming troll in a sea of helpers. For a moment, Sonnie felt less troubled, and simply followed the pack.

NIGHT THREE


IF choice B was chosen: You end up in the planning tent!

The “war room” for designers. A very self-satisfied architect finishes off some cheese and crackers and heads off to his personal quarters for some shut-eye, so you’re all alone. Suddenly, you hear some shuffling! A blueprint flutters to the ground at the opening of the tent. What do you do!

A. Follow that cheesy architect...

B. Make chase!

--

IF choice A, D, E, G was chosen: You end up in the volunteer quarters!

The vast space of the volunteer quarters encompasses all of the temporary lodging and resting spaces for the launch sites. Many shuttles are parked, ready to be reassigned to non-space related jobs now that the sites have been built and launched. However, there are still a number of shuttles still active, heading from Alpha, to Beta, and so on. A few tired volunteers exit and enter the shuttles on their way to volunteer-only sectors of the sites. Now that work has wrapped up, security guards are on patrol around the quarters.

What do you do?

C. Take a shuttle to go deeper into the sites

D. Try to sneak into the quarters

--

IF choice H was chosen: You end up in the media tent!

The TR lead shows you around in the media tent. “So, we’ve had some weirdos come in. Both paparazzi weirdos, and … Regular old weirdos who sneak onto the premises. I’m not sure if they’re still on the site, but we’ve seen a few very sneaky photographers trying to drive their way in here using lookalike shuttles similar to the ones we have here for our volunteers. I’d definitely suggest checking out the security room. Here’s a TR clearance badge; you can flash this to the reporters, security, et cetera, and you’ll get in. Thanks for your help, kiddo - and remember, don’t talk about how we’re having security issues! Or I’ll destroy you!”

You make your way out of your tent on your way to the security room. However, on your way, you notice a big swath of reporters blocking the path. You can probably get some excellent insight if you infiltrate their ranks, but the TR manager’s lead is still prevalent in your mind.

What do you do?

E. Go to the security room

F. Investigate the pack of media trolls

--

IF choice C was chosen: You end up in the interior site!

With the operations lead’s blessing, you head into the interior site - an area that is typically off-limits due to the dangers of being near a launch site during take-off. The pad is enormous, with lots of infrastructure that - if tampered with - could lead to disaster. Due to its sensitive and isolated nature, this area seems to be pretty much empty. You can climb the tower to get a decent view around the entirety of the launch site, or you can take a shuttle back to the main management and planning area. What will you do?

AA. Climb the tower!

BB. Head back on a shuttle.

--

IF choice F was chosen: You end up in the security room!

You follow the operations manager close behind until she notices you. “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?” Wanting to avoid a confrontation, you explain yourself - and she finally calms down.

“Ah… I see. Well, I’m on my way to the security room. I suppose you can take a look. I’m going to need identification first.”

You finally enter the security room! A camera has a very clear view of the main offices of the lead designers. There are a surprising amount of security blips near these buildings, so it seems. You also spot a suspicious movement near the exterior barricades. The footage is too blurry to make out, so you’d need to get closer!

Where do you go?

CC. The lead offices

DD. The exterior barricades

Apibom Honeii
Night: Three
Choice: A --> B --> C --> AA

Sephos. Right. Api tucked the name away to memory for later, just in case they ran into him again or something... Or in case the greenblood had decided to follow them around, which seemed to be the case based off of his next statements. Not good at talking, and he wanted Api to do it for him. Okay, they supposed they could do that. It meant they were being useful, right? "Don't worry, I'll take care of all the talking." They offered him a thumbs up and a smile.

Once they were finally in the interior site, they looked around for anything that might be... out of the ordinary. At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything at all. With a sigh, they shook their head. "No, nothing weird here.." They were about to turn and leave when they spotted the stairs to the tower. Swallowing hard, their eyes drifted up the tall building's length. Heights... They were not a fan.... but, this was important, right? "Mmmm...Maybe if we go up there...?" They pointed to the tower, then clasped their hands together. "We could... get a good view. Of everything." Memories of their last experience with heights kept flashing before their eyes. The slip. The almost fall. Oh god.

Mihail Kreios
Night: Three
Choice: A --> A --> B --> B

With Knetic in tow, Mihail followed after the architect, eventually ending up in the planning tent. It was there that he got distracted.. it was just so interesting! He regained focus as the architect got up to leave- heading back toward the workers quarters. Well... they could follow him there but likely the older troll really was going to sleep and would just be combative if they followed.

A rustling sound and a blueprint falling made his choice for him. He looked to Knetic, nodding then jerking his head toward the fallen blueprint. They were going to follow!

D. Try to sneak into the quarters

Getting out was definitely more a Masoal thing, Emiola always did just go with the flow, but the hardcore agitation he was radiating before was beginning to ebb once he was shuffled around and Floren was up asking the manager questions. He wobbled back and forth from foot to foot as he waited, assuring Emi at the same time that he didn't really care about whatever party she was talking about. Masoal was good at not caring except when he cared too much.

Once they'd made it to the volunteer quarters, though, he seemed to have hit maximum calm down, at least for now. His hair no longer stood on end, his shoulders were relaxed, but he did look pretty unwilling to go anywhere near those weird shuttle things.

"I don't wanna get on those," he said matter-of-factly.

Night: 3!
Choice: A > B > D > C!

Searching for loot in the volunteer quarters, Cynril managed to find a slinky before stumbling into the many shuttles. His hands fidgeted, using the slinky to calm his nerves down. He'd be fine, he'd make Byakko proud when she heard of his brave actions. So the child walked around, searching for anything that might be helpful for the investigation or to keep. Noting that the guards were no longer around the shuttle site, the mutantblood decided to take a shuttle do go deeper into the site.

Path D

"Aw, relax bud." Emiola offered her tealblood compatriot a well meaning smile, "We're not goin' on those! Even if they look fun." And they did look fun. Did they go fast? Emi loved to go fast. "Here, we can go this way!" Emi took a purposeful step before getting caught in the glare of a volunteer worker. Hm. Ok. "Here, we can go... this way!" Which was to say the same way, just a different route, and a little more lowkey...

Or well, as lowkey as Emiola Vivace could get.

She dragged her friends (old and new) along with her.

Floren Chadra
Night: Three
Choice: B --> D --> G --> D

"Those would take us further away from the exit anyway, I think." Floren shrugged, noting that Masoal seemed to be leveling out a little more. Good, good. That would make him easier to deal with. Emiola though.. Floren clicked his tongue as she charged on without really seeming to think her route over. Honestly... "Emiola, right? We have to be quiet about this. I don't think we're technically allowed in this building..." He slowed down, hopefully slowing their progress with him. They needed a plan if they were going to sneak into buildings they weren't supposed to be in. (Wait, why weren't they allowed in there? They were volunteers!)

[purplerosesbeauty]

Choice: DD


For a moment, Poe's pumpbiscuit froze when the operations manager confronted them. He fretfully explained they just wanted to speak with her about the security breaches, and she relaxed. Poe thought, for a moment, they'd been caught, and the asking of IDs made him sweat. His was legit and would hold up under scrutiny but Wander's might not...

Still, in the end it didn't matter. She was glad to let them enter the office. Looking at the screen, he pointed at the security blips near the offices. "These are likely false flags, with how many there are," he murmured. That, and it was a crowded area. He moved his metal hand to gesture at the barricades. "Wait, what's that. P-Pennie, can you check that closer?"

Gl!tch~

 

[Gl!tch~]

Choice DD

They managed to get in through dogged determination. Huzzah! And she had her handy-dandy lanyard she wore at all times. Nothing suspicious here.

As they watched the presented security footage, Wander nodded at Poe's quiet assertion. She'd read murder mysteries before! Made sense to her, anyway. Red herrings! They happened. She watched the footage Poe asked her to.

"U-uh." She squinted. "Looks like something moving...I think. It's hard to make out. It could be a few things, but... I guess we could check it out?"

Knetic Corbid
Night: Three
Choice: A. --> A. --> B. --> B.

Knetic is stuffing cheese into his face at alarming rates, trying to get it all down so he can be better equipped to follow silently. Like a beast in the night, stalking it's prey. Like a- okay that metaphor is getting repetitive. Onward.

He follows Mihail and hurls the plate into the nearest garbage, trying his damnedest to be as quiet as he can. But he's never been able to do that properly.

"What do you think he's up to?" He stage whispers. Loudly.

Kwelin Tourny
Night: 3
Choice: B

Path A => A => B => B

A blueprint fluttered and instantly caught the attention of all the trolls in the area. The architect wandered off and Kwelin looked to his group. It was a hard choice to make but necessary to act fast.

"After it!" He whisper shouted and took chase, yanking Philip and Tzofia by the arm to go with him. The blueblood knew he wouldn't have to tug Avvisi along, she would always chase after a scoop without any prompting! A breeze caught the paper and it seemed it was going to be a game of cat and mouse for the lot of them!
