[Weiss is coming at you from Ye Olde Marketplace, doing some shopping! Picking up groceries, you know, stuff heiresses usually don't do. She can be seen sitting on a bench, wearing a nice wool cloak.]

Honestly this is kind of ridiculous. The whole city turned upside down? Come on, who had time to do all of this. And could it be at a better time? Ugh. Listen, I don't know what games they're trying to play with us but I did not volunteer to wake up this morning with no central heating system. It's not funny.

[she sighs then, pausing for a moment to consider her next statements.]

We're still looking for Yang Xaio Long. If anyone's come into some new information, you can send it mine, Ruby's, or Blake's direction. I'm positive she's out there somewhere. It's just a matter of where.

...Thanks.

Do not fret m'lady, I'll find your companion!

[and guess who got his hard with the fairytale role? this guy. he seems to be completely lost in it, he truly believes he's prince charming.]

[what the fuck]

[this is blakes friend right, the one she should be looking out for?]

video;

[combatskirts]

[well, all right, roll with it i guess]

Okay. Don't tell me you buy all of this.

[dramaticals]

[yes watch out for him, but prince charming is a force to be reckoned with!!!]

What are you talking about?

video;

[combatskirts]

You cannot be so easily fooled.

Genessia? All of a sudden overnight the city changed?

video;

[dramaticals]

[...]

The city is changing? Can we stop it?

video;

[combatskirts]

[oh, this is going to be a trip.]

I don't think we could if we tried. Do you not remember anything?

Not a single thing?

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Right... Because we didn't have enough going on before the city decided to get more weird than usual.

At least we got a fireplace when they took away the heat? That's something right?

[She's just going to avoid talking about Yang for the moment.]

[Video]

[combatskirts]

That's true. Fireplaces are nice, but it's not my preferred method of heating.

[some areas of the house still got so cold...]

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

I was just saying it's better than nothing.

...How do fireplaces in apartments even work? It doesn't seem safe. Do you think the lower floors have them too? This city is so weird sometimes.

[Video]

[combatskirts]

If we have them the other floors probably have them too. At least it looks nice and smells good.

Do you need anything from the market while I'm here?

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

That's true. I wonder if it'll stick around once the city changes back to normal, that'd be neat. Then we'd have central heat and a fireplace. That's like, twice the heat!

...Uhmm... [Give her a second to look through the kitchen.]

Maybe some milk? Oh! And some cookies, just in case I run out before you get back with the milk.

[Video]

[combatskirts]

I doubt it but there's always hoping.

[of course. she should have known that ruby would ask for milk and cookies.]

Okay. I'll be home with those soon.

[monkeystowaway]

Can't handle the cold? Count yourself lucky that we aren't still experiencing the blizzard that was pelting this place when I first arrived.

Video

[combatskirts]

[oh she can handle the cold, she is the cold. But still, she frowns at Sun.]

I guess so but it's still not pleasant.

Video

[monkeystowaway]

[So they should be blaming her for the cold, then?]

It's not that bad, either. Just toss on one of your fancy coats and you'll be fine.

Video

[combatskirts]

[she IS wearing one of her fancy coats. well, it must be hers because she woke up with it. can a cloak and a coat be the same thing though? she puts her hood up and sighs]

Aren't you cold?

[he better be wearing those shirts]

Video

[monkeystowaway]

No, not really. You girls loaded me up with some pretty good winter wear, so the cold isn't an issue.

Video

[combatskirts]

Good. We don't need you freezing to death.

[is that... weiss caring? she won't admit it but sun grew on her a bit since coming here. however dont think he's off the hook for stealing and things like that.]

[Video -> Action]

[trigram]

Which Archways have you investigated in?

[Sofia responds via video. Weiss doesn't know her, but she knows Weiss enough from what Blake said and hearing her the first time she arrived. Sofia was just too busy to respond to the heiress at the time. Weiss would see Sofia walking in the distance behind her]

[Video -> Action]

[combatskirts]

[was that an echo? weiss frowns at the communicator, but switches it off when she sees Sofia approaching.]

All of them at this point. Either her captor is staying very well hidden, or they're moving place to place.

[Action]

[trigram]

[As soon as Sofia looked up, Weiss was already facing her and talking to her in person. Sofia adjusts the paper bag of groceries she has in her arm. She sized up Weiss from head to toe. So this is Ruby's friend the others mentioned]

Both are very possible. Tell me what you know and gathered so far.

[Sofia sounds very casual and uncaring like always]

[Action]

[combatskirts]

[weiss looks hesitant to spill everything, warily studying her new conversational partner. she stands up, analyzing her every move.]

Well, we have a few leads but nothing too major.

[actually, their leads were kind of major given the situation but she wasn't about to tell someone that she didn't know of. her friends knew a lot of people here, but for every friend they made there seemed to be an enemy as well.

[Action]

[trigram]

[Sofia would applaud Weiss' caution to spill the details too easily to people she barely knows, but given the current situation, Weiss might just have been a little more cautious than normal. The detective's eyes noticed Weiss' sudden change in posture and the way the heiress' eyes just looked at her]

Ah.

[She nods casually, not looking awfully concerned]

Where's your search partner? Blake told me you search as pairs. Awfully risky to go alone, don't you think?

[Especially after what happened to Ruby]

[Action]

[combatskirts]

They needed the rest. I volunteered to come out, and I'm prepared should anything happen.

[she placed her hand at myrtenaster's hilt. If this woman knew blake, weiss was sure that she knew everything they did. for now, the heiress was playing it safe until she knew more about this person.]

Who are you anyway? How do you know Blake?
