[CLOSED] backdated, ann and ryuji on a mission!
Who: Ryuji & Ann
What: Ryuji has signed up for a bounty, and Ann is coming with. His urge to kick butt and her urge to make sure everything goes smoothly come together!
Where: Attleton
When: June 29th
[ryuji had texted ann where to meet up in attleton, and he was now waiting for her to arrive. it was outside the wedding hall, the place where the murders had taken place. this was probably the best place to start, to find out just what kind of poison was placed in the cake and what they were dealing with.
if it were up to him, he would set out in his phantom thieves outfit and start trying to gather info that way. but maybe doing things this way, first, would be more beneficial.
so, once ann arrived ryuji turned to her, a hand on the back of his head.]
...Listen, I got a plan but you ain't gonna like it.

Ah...yes, we are. He's just not normally this affectionate in public...you know how guys are, right?
[But she also realises that to really sell this, she'll have to give something more. Which is why she leans in to press a kiss to Ryuji's cheek, playing up the girlfriend delighted that her guy is being so affectionate even as in her mind she's already apologising profusely to Ryuji for having to do so.
The attendant still seems to have his doubts. But with so many other people so openly trying to approach without that cover story, he knows he has to make a decision - and so he moves aside, with a clear warning: "We'll be keeping an eye on you."
It's not ideal. But once they're in, Ann figures their Phantom Thief training will see them through.]
no subject
still, when he noticed her moving in towards him, he blinked and watched her form closely. she was... oh god?! she was coming in for a kiss?! when she went to kiss his cheek, he felt the sensation of her soft lips against his skin. suddenly he felt like he was on fire. what the... hell?! this was just ann, man! just ann! sure she looked like a celebrity but...
dammit all. ryuji's jaw went slack and he stared down at her, his face turning red, before he glanced back at the attendant. an eye on them? huh? he could barely hear the guy with the pounding that was going on in his ears.
even so, it looked like they were in the clear. after the attendant walked away, allowing them to enter into the place, ryuji felt a wave of relief wash over him. also, he just needed a moment to get his body temperature under control again.]
Wha... ah... d-damn. That was pretty convincing, yeah. Good thinking Ann. [get it together ryuji!!]
no subject
Luckily he doesn't seem offended by it, and the rest she can write off because if she's honest, she's pretty damn surprised she did that too. At least she manages to remember to whisper the next part, given the first attendant's warning.]
Well, I figured we had to do something otherwise we'd never get in. And I wasn't sure what else would have even worked.
[Still, now that they're in they need to shift their mindset. And that means they need space to plan without the obvious scrutiny of staff who have probably been alerted to their presence. True, they could probably be more honest about the investigation but that's not really their style.
Instead, she starts to guide Ryuji through the hall, allowing a little awe to bleed through even as she's scouting for an alcove or somewhere they can gather their thoughts without attention. Even if it means waving off staff members who seem very keen on accompanying them.]
Honestly, we're fine. But it's great that you guys are so helpful, that'll definitely come in handy if we book here.
[She's hoping flattery will go some way to giving them some space, though she's not sure how well she's actually selling it.]
god sorry im so late
good thing she did, he wouldn't have been as nice as her.
he pushed his free hand in his pocket, and then continued to hand ann's hand with the other. they had to get through this and this kind of physical contact was the only way.]
Keep followin' us around and we'll go to a different place to book.
[the staff seemed reluctant, but eventually they walked away from the two of them. they were probably still going to be watched, but maybe not as closely now.]
We gotta investigate.
it's okay I know rl got rough for you <3
She's not sure that's even how this works but she's doing her best.
Once they do get some space, Ann casually leads Ryuji towards a small alcove she's spotted, babbling whatever might sound like wedding discussion so it looks like they're planning for how to use the space and not how to hide in the space so they can get a little breathing room.]
Oh hey, look. We could totally have some sort of display or something here, right? And I think there's even a matching space on the other side.
[She knows there is but she doesn't want it to sound at all like she's scoping this out as a Phantom Thief rather than a bride to be.]
<33
Uhh... yeaahh, we could. Let's get a better look?
[ryuji pulls ann over to the alcove now, ducking into the space. he moved to put his back up against the wall, giving ann a mischievous look.]
We gonna put our skills to the test yet? [he grinned at her. aka, were they gonna do some thief sneaking?!]
no subject
She's pretty sure they've never done this kind of thing in a real building. She's not sure their skills will even translate. But they'll have to find out eventually and no time like the present.
And so she flashes Ryuji a knowing grin.]
That's why we're here, right? Just don't get carried away and try ripping off anyone's faces.
[She's teasing him because it takes the edge off her nerves, as she cautiously peeks around the corner trying to plot their route. There's an area that seems to be clearer of non-staff than most and she looks to Ryuji, nodding her head towards the area that seems to be guarded.]
Okay. I don't know if we'll have enough alcoves to make it all the way over. If we don't, one of us is going to have to cause a distraction. But we'll see how close we can get first.
no subject
[he at least has his running skills here, but he hasn't gone fully phantom thief mode. if he wanted, he could suddenly have his thief clothes on and be on his way to check things out. but that would raise much more suspicion.
so he went and looked around the corner, where ann was standing, and then glanced back at her.]
Right. Now, let's go!
[ryuji ducked and darted to the next alcove, another small space in the wall and he checked if the coast was clear. he gestured at ann, and then made his way again. eventually, they stopped before a large door, the word "President" on the outside of it.
some kinda boss or something?]
no subject
When they reach the door, Ann pauses, looking between it and where the staff are crowding. Her voice is hushed, when she speaks.]
What do we think? Office or side suite? A place this fancy it could be either.
[And from this side of the door, she can't tell how big the room is.]
