I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things [Semi-Open]

[espigeonage]

Who: Julien and whoever decided to come with him! See the plot post.
Where: The Locke City Reservoir, maybe an hour's drive west of the city center. It's a fair-sized lake surrounded by forest, with a shoreline that is mostly inclined gravel. It's not suited to canoeing or camping and isn't a recreation site, but the area isn't exactly off limits either.
When: Sunday the 11th! Forwards-dated slightly.
What: Finding the source of the contaminated water.


[This is three threads. Please, PM or plurk me if you have questions or concerns. I'm Joysweeper.

Thread one is pre-reservoir on the tenth - as part of the handwaved preparations Julien wants to see if people actually can sneak, so asked some of the volunteers to meet him in a park. This is specifically set up so Julien can meet Alex and Nick in separate threads, but if anyone else wants to meet/talk casually with him, even if they're not going on to the next two threads, feel free!

Thread two is finding the site and Julien deciding to stake it out. His plan is for some quieter people to be investigating with him, a bunch of more combat-oriented ones hanging back in the woods, and a few people even farther back at the cars, but he doesn't really have authority. Feel free to have people from any group mingle and kill time together, especially if it's been a while since he decides to wait.

Thread three is the tanker full of pink goop showing up, a few hours after thread two started. You're fully welcome to have a character who was in thread two decide to leave and not be there for three! This is kind of in the middle of nowhere but waiting is boring.]

"Even if nothing happens, I think it'll still be worth it. ...And honestly, I think it'd be best if the fighters do end up disappointed." Though she'd like for the sneaky team to be victorious, it'd be great if they got away without any actual fights.

"Yeah. It's just if I want them to listen to me and go out doing this kind of thing later on..." Realizing what he was saying, Julien wrinkled his nose. "Not that I want to head a thing like this again. But I think it's a good idea to have backup when we're looking in to things, even if it's not like the mines all over again."

"I think they'd listen to you. After all, the point of this isn't to fight stuff, is it? Rather, we're trying to figure out what's in the water and how it got there. I'd say putting a stop to it would be great, too, but..." Aria shrugs, crossing her arms. "Right now, we know the water is drugged and can avoid it. So...we have a bit of time before we have to do something about it, even if just a little. We don't have to rush into this all willy-nilly; there's time to gather information here, and then put a plan into action after talking about it."

She pauses, before adding, "Well, unless we don't have a chance and have to do something now...but that's the way I'm looking at it."

"There's that," he said, smiling slightly. "I've tried to make people understand that this should be quiet unless it can't be helped. If they agree or not... well."

Julien rolled his shoulders, trying to un-tense a little. "We'll just have to see. Thanks, though."

"No problem! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help." You know, besides...watching. Which she completely intended to do, and wasn't complaining about doing.

"I want to help as much as I can, to figure out...well. All of this."
