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.]

"No!" he says abruptly, pinching the strands of yarn he had just been stroking prior. "No, TC's no good. It could mean Thunder Corp, too, and fuck them."

Acrobat, though. HMMMMM. This requires serious thought.

He holds his hand out to the side, palm up. "Rockrobat?"

Since apparently rocks were her thing, if their breakfast at Cinderella's pasture was anything to go by.

"Oh, gosh, I hadn't even thought of that." Tree Climber is out for sure, then. Can't go around being named for the enemy...well, you could, but it would just get confusing and might end up being a little silly, really.

"Rockrobat? So...Rockrobat Acrobat? RA?" Aria laughed; it sounds cute. "I could go with that!"

[amberhearted]

"RA, RA... Or Rockrobat Jones..." Like Indiana Jones. "Rocky for short..."

Left to his own devices, Alex could go on and on with nicknames. It's best to cut him short lest the end result is a kajillion bajillion ways off from the original.

"Oh! Oh oh oh, Rockrobat Jones!" Indiana Jones? Definitely had her sold. You didn't have to go past that at all, Alex, ever. Because Dr. Jones. "So Everything Bagel and Rockrobat Jones...Now we just have to name everyone else."

[amberhearted]

Prompted by her sudden excitement, Alex's thoughtful expression turns to one of amusement. It's almost impossible to tell behind the sunglasses and the beard, but the quirk of his lips is a visible indicator.

"We got a CB and a CC..." Nevermind that CB, aka Banagher, hasn't actually been 'officially' dubbed Cinnamon Bagel and CC, aka Kenji, had been joking when he'd called himself Crimson Crusher back in April. "I... think... that's it."

He resumes stroking his fake beard again. "We have a daunting task on our hands, Jones. Are you prepared for the challenge?"

[eras]

"Who are CB and CC? Then we can just focus on the others." She's already scanning around for "the others". Being in team sneaky might make this a little harder than it would otherwise be, but...

"Of course! Rockrobat Jones never backs down from a challenge!"
