A C T I O N ;
Morning
((Warning she will be pickpocketing whoever replies to this one unless she recognizes them.))

[ Once she got out of that place, pocketed the money and gave the pamphlet a brief skim, Emerald was out of there. If you get brought some place strange, the best thing you can do is get away from wherever they left you. There was enough money there to take care of herself, which she found a little suspicious. Who was honestly that helpful? There was a reason people learned to steal and it wasn't because people helped those in need if it put them out in the slightest.

Oh well. She'd find some place to spend it and get it out of her pocket and get some money she felt a little more comfortable with-- the kind she appropriated all by herself. That said, she wasn't afraid to ask for help of a different kind.

After looking around for a bit, Emerald approached someone who didn't look particularly attentive. ]

[ She could blow the free money on a hotel stay and food, then pay for whatever she needed next with this poor sap. ]

V I D E O ;
That Evening

[ Once Emerald got a little more settled in-- meaning, she went and found a nice little motel room, got herself a map from some corner store, and a little extra spending money in case she needed it-- she decided to see about this whole social network. It was kind of weird to be using something other than her own scroll, but it worked well enough. ]

[ There was a brief wave of her hand. She doesn't know what's going on here and the best way to not make enemies is to not be a jackass ~~(Mercury)~~ so she's going to be playing nice and friendly for now. She does have a couple of questions though, the first of which involves her pendant, a shining green stone swaying and glittering in the room's light while she's holding it up to the video screen. ]

[ Not her real reason for asking, but hey. Better than wondering why the hell they're all being required to wear necklaces like tracking tags. ]

Go right ahead.

[ She'll get a bottle of water for Cinder so she can at least say she tried to be a good host while not having anything to her name other than herself, her clothes, her weapons, and her new arrival package. ]

Where did you say it was again?

[She's already on her way.]

It's...

[ Give her a second, she has to run outside to check the street signs again. It's not like she knows the place very well. ]

It's at [ wow amazing an address ]

Got it. I'm on my way.

[She remembers seeing that along the way, so she has a good idea of where to head to.]

[ Emerald's getting water and such in case Cinder needs anything, but it's only down the hall, so she makes it back before Cinder's there, leaning both arms on the railing of the floor she's on to watch for her leader.

When she finally sees her, she stands up straight and waves. ]

Cinder!

[Upon seeing Emerald, a small smile actually came to her face. In a strange world, at least somebody that she actually liked was here too. Mercury was there too, but with both of them it made it even better.]

Hey there.

[ That smile was a sight for sore eyes. Even if talking over the communicator things was comforting, seeing Cinder in person was much better. When Cinder was close enough, she ran up to her to finish closing the distance. ]

Did you find this place okay?

Yeah, easily enough. It is going to take a while to map this place mentally in my mind, but I think I'll manage.

I don't know how long I'll be staying here. If you and Mercury are in a different hotel, I can probably try to get an adjoining room so there's extra space? I might have to liberate some extra money for that, since I paid in advance for this one.

[ Which is why she's asking Cinder first like a good girl. ]

Hmm... Well, if your place is better, I might just move in with you. But I would prefer if you saved your money for the time being; just in case something came up. If you need to at some point, come to me first.

[Good. There's a reason why you're her favorite, even if she doesn't show it all the time.]

There isn't a lot of room, but you're welcome to.

[ It's not better, honestly, but Emerald would probably just sleep under the bed if Cinder asked her to lbr. ]

I will, Cinder. [ If only she knew she was the favorite. If only.. ]

Of course, we won't have a space/living problem once we.... find better quarters.

I think we all look forward to that.

[ She'll speak for Mercury. 'Mercury is looking forward to it too.' -Emerald's assessment because he'd better be or she will be grumpy with him. ]

First of all, I'll need to think of something.

[ That's a good first step, Cinder. But Emerald talked to people before she found her motel, so she at least knows a couple of things that might help. ]

I've heard there's a lot more technology in Nova City. There's probably more money there, too.

That is a good start. We'll need some sort of HQ, of course. What would be good as both a HQ and a living situation that isn't as obvious?

[She already knows what she's planning, but let's see what Emerald thinks.]

[ It's not hard to figure out what the good solution is, but that might be because she's standing in a much lower quality version of one. Though her version isn't quite thinking as big as Cinder probably is. ]

A fancy presidential suite on the top floor of some poor sap's very nice hotel in Nova City?

[ She's just thinking the suite though. ]

[She knew Emerald would basically get the gist of her plans at least.]

That sounds about right.

[ Easily because it's what she wants instead of the little motel room they're at right now. ]

Any ideas?

Well, I'm still in the process of thinking things over, but we'd have to do things carefully.

Don't we always.

[ That means no fun, doesn't it? ]

YEAH!

THE MAN IS JUST TRYING TO BRING US DOWN

WE WON'T LET HIM! LETS STICK IT TO THE MAN!!

STICK IT TOO HIM REAL GOOD.

POST-IT LEVEL STICKING.

WE DON'T NEED YOUR CRAP

OR YOUR TAPE! POST-ITS ALL THE WAY!

POST-ITS ARE THE WAY TO GO CLEARLY

Except those weird post-it tabs. Those are two small to write anything worthwhile on. smh.

Who even uses those? They're so tiny.....

Probably Neo. They're Neo-sized post-its.

Are they also brown, pink, and white?

I know they have pink and white at least. I haven't seen a brown one yet...

Maybe because brown is boring?

Brown is awesome, I love brown. Like deep chocolate brown not recycled brown tho.

Dark Chocolate for the win right?

Hell yes. It's the best chocolate.

No other chocolate will do.
