A hunting we will go

[alilyinthemoonslight]

WHO: All-Star Precure (Lily, Winter, Jasmine, Marina, Russel, Annie, Kari) in Vegas + YOU. If you're in Vegas. OPEN TO ALL.
WHAT: Vermini Hunting!
WHEN: April 22nd -> April 27th
WHERE: Anywhere on the Last Vegas strip.
WARNINGS: None for now! Will update accordingly.

[During this week Lily will be pushing for her teammates to do intensive searching of the Vermini throughout the strip! Both to see if they can deduce where they may be coming from, and to gather samples for Mordin to dissect. As they'll be bouncing out and about in the open quite a bit in this, it's the perfect opportunity for other people wandering around to stumble across magical girls (and a knight, and Russel) who are poking their noses where they may or may not belong, yes?

So this is COMPLETELY OPEN! Feel free to harass one another or us to your hearts content as they hunt down these little critters.

A few things to remember!

1) Vermini flee reincarnates on sight! Normals don't see them, but they CAN see them if you present them captured. They will however think they're some kind of bug.
2) They are tiny. TEENY WEENY. Lily having run across them will been providing the entire team with jars to carry around to shove them in.
3) If looking a reincarnate is likely to run across 1-3 on average in a week. Not a huge number, but one likely to be increased if adding many more people into the search party, I'd expect?
3A) However, they are most likely to appear around bodies of water and large grassy areas.
3B) As such, the Mandalay Bay and its aquarium is a hot spot for them. Coincidentally, its the precise place there is a homicide investigation underway after a body was discovered on the 22nd. Mandalay Beach specifically is closed until the 25th.
4) Capturing every Vermini seen is highly unlikely, as they weren't able to in Locke City before from what Lily's been told. However, we have many more super powered individuals and experience under our belts this time! Use that to your advantage.
4A) However, if multiples can be captured, well. I'm sure there's multiple uses that can be had if this ends up the case.

Otherwise, do whatever! Just figured it'd be a good, fun thing to have a general investigation/mingling sort of log spread over the week as plot things are rearing their heads.

For your convenience and organization, I'll also be providing dated sub-threads, so please stand by!]

"So does the rest of our life," Kari reminded.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"... Truth is as strange as fiction," she admitted with a sigh. "Though what you described isn't as goofy as what I saw when I was a kid..."

[lackinginfaith]

Kari raised her eyebrow. "Like what?" This had to be good.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"A rat growing a human ear," Jasmine said. "That's... more gross than a monster who looks like a tuba or a giant doll or something."

[lackinginfaith]

Nod. "The way you said it, it sounded like this all started much longer than a year ago."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"Naw, I was just... talking about similarities and stuff. Sometimes we make stuff that's more messed up than reality, and sometimes reality tries to show us God's imagination is just as fucked up as ours, or worse."

[lackinginfaith]

"For the love of..." She shook her head. "We need to find these things right now. Then, the factory."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine tilted her head to the side.

"Factory? What do you mean?"

[lackinginfaith]

"I mean the place where they're making these." She lowered her voice. "Back in Locke, some people found Thunder and their crowd guarding an abandoned warehouse. Inside, there were vats and cages with Vermini in them, and worse. I'm thinking they must have something like that here. We might be limited to one street instead of an entire city, but it'll likely still take a while to find."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"... That... sounds like the grossest thing imaginable," Jasmine said, making a face. "Ugh. I'm glad I wasn't there for that."

[lackinginfaith]

Kari tightened her fist. "Something like that."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

And just then Jasmine had a thought.

"Wait, what if it's all under the strip?" she said. "We should try and see if we can check out the sewers!"

[lackinginfaith]

Ugh, not the sewers again. Kari nodded, though. "They'll be expecting it, but we need to try. Anything else underground, too." Out went the map. "If I remember correctly, only two of these hotels have underground parking lots. They might be there."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"... we'll have to run the idea by everyone else," she said, with a nod. "I don't want to walk into another dangerous situation without backup."

[lackinginfaith]

"Of course." She turned her attention back to the canals. "We're a team now. You and I should know that best."

wrap here?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"A team..."

She laughs a bit nervously. "Sure. I wouldn't have it any other way."
