Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"I see." Claire comments, "Alright, I'll be back in an hour." Claire says with a polite bow as she heads out.
On the way out she looks around for Fionna. "Fionna, is there a private restroom here?" She asked. "I have an hour before I need to go so I figure I can apply my make-up and clean up while I wait."

Kara
"Yup I'm in love and I don't care who knows" She says skipping a step away and swirling as if walking on sunshine.
Claire
"Yup right over there" She says pointing you to a private restroom. You find its a unisex facility complete with a handicap privacy stall despite the fact that the door like any private restroom locks.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Thanks, Fionna," Claire says heading out to the car to grab her bag. Then she heads back to the bathroom and gets to work applying the make-up to try and look normal. In addition, she reapplies the sunscreen to make sure the desert wouldn't be too brutal.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"So I take it he agreed to take you into the desert?" Says a voice from behind and if you turn you'll see the that copper haired young woman with the strange mask again casually leaning against the open door of the handicap toilet stall.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Well good! That's exactly what you are supposed to feel." she smiled and followed along a bit. "However, I have been asked to send you back to your cutie in there. *chuckle* I think it was something about how you should be wearing clothes if you're out here." She skipped in front of Lea then, tail slightly obscuring her lower half. "But I think you two have at least a little more time. Go in there, spend a little more time together." She winked at her suggestively. "Don't mind me, I'll just be enjoying the air and the flowers a little while. Maybe eat a little bit. When you two are done or ready to come out here or whatever, I'll just be here." Her stomach growling again helped further show how very hungry she had gotten.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire frowns, but doesn't comment on the woman being there at the moment. "That is correct. Can I help you?" She asks glancing at the door of the bathroom.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
Its closed just as you left it though you notice a few of those odd floating eye pokemon floating around as if at random. "Yes I think you can..." She says as she begins to step closer undoing the first couple buttons of her top. Just as one could take this the wrong way she pulls out from her cleavage a piece of paper which with a twist of her fingers unfolds to reveal a sketch of some sort of jewelry with a ridiculously large gem set in it "I have reason to believe that somewhere is a set of ruins that man in the rock garden knows about and frequents is an artifact that looks like this. If you can retrieve it for me I'm prepared to provide the funds you would need for a mega ring."
Kara
Lea giggles as she realises her mistake... again but doesn't bother covering her lady bit this time "Right enjoy you all natural nature walk then" Lea says winking back before skipping off back to the greenhouse.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Kara just shook her head a bit at Lea and smiled, walking around outside the greenhouse. "Can't believe there is someone in this city that cares less about nudity than I do." But she didn't mind out like this really. Unable to really resist very well she went in and grabbed a veggie wrap, and started eating outside of the greenhouse for a bit. While out she just admired the view and considered what she might want to do after this.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"I'm not into wo---" She starts to say before the woman pulls out the paper. "Oh." She says as she looks at it. "Ok, and why didn't you ask him yourself? Since I saw you talking, I'm assuming he said no for some reason? Why is that?" She asked eyeing the woman suspiciously. "What's the gem? Why do you need it? Plus I'm not sure if I'd be going to the same area to get it anyways." She asks. "And it's rude to eavesdrop." She says pointing the fact that the woman knew she wanted a Mega stone. "And break into a bathroom..."
Claire pauses for a moment thinking."How much is a Mega Ring here and how much are you offering? And it looks like a pretty big gem, why would you be the best buyer compared to selling it elsewhere?" She finally adds.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"In the order that you asked. I did ask him. He declined for arbitrary "spirit of the earth" reasons that only he seems to understand. The Gem is obviously a precious stone. Why I need it is my business. Not being sure you'll be in the same area is no reason not to keep an eye out. Clearly I'm not a monk or a kalosian noble woman. Technically I was in here first so it's your own fault to not check if someone was hiding in the stall seriously thats like the oldest trick in the book. And finally I don't have the patience for haggling or bartering if you happen to come across it and want to buy out that auction you wanted to get a mega stone from easily then you know who to bring it to and you should accept the offered generosity because the Florence Estate isn't going to let an item of this caliber hit the open market or black markets if they have anything to say about it. Its simply how business is done here in northern castelia if you don't like it then ignore it if you see it, and maybe gravel for brains will pull through for you instead." She says before she turns to leave and tosses the paper over her shoulder as she walks out "The burner number to call if you have it is on the back ask for Grimoire." She then departs.
Kara
After you've had some time to eat, feel the breeze, and listen to the sound of Lea and Ema making out your phone rings. Its Goggles.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire frowns. She didn't like not being told the reason somebody wanted something. However, Florance Estate sounded prestigious enough that it seemed fine. Plus she didn't really need to decide unless she saw the gem. If she found it, she could figure out if she wanted to help or not. She picked up the picture, a bit weirded out by the fact that the paper had just been warming up between the woman's chest. She puts it in a bag once she finishes up the make-up and then uses her pokegear to look up this 'Florence Estate'.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
Its an old mansion owned by and bears the family name of a wealthy and respected philanthropist whose family was instrumental to the growth of castelia. The mansion itself has apparently housed female masks for a very long time(like way back when gender separated was more common outside of the education system sort of long time). Everything else seems to be shrouded in mystery and conspiracy and of dubious quality with claims of the residents being criminals or that the owner of the mansion employs the residents as some sort of private enforcement squad for the surrounding neighborhood.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Upon noticing that it was created by such a noble an good man, Claire nods satisfied. The house also seemed pretty respectable with its all female choice. Despite common mixing of dorms allowing males and females and typically being wild college sex dorms, this house seemed to enjoy sticking with tradition with its housing choice. With that information, it made her feel a little better about the woman who had seemed fairly odd. The woman seemed to work and be in charge of a respectable, charitable, and honorable house that was built on strong moral tradition and still stuck with those traditions.
She was about to close it and feel fine with the woman's offer when she saw the last part. "Ugh, people nowadays..." She said annoyed. She didn't believe the rumors and felt they were rather slanderous. If the woman had a group of enforcers, she could have had them get the gym. "They can't understand that some women are traditional and of strong moral character and they start spreading rumors." She muttered to herself as she rolled her eyes. "Some young women want to not be deviant sex fiends and people start trying to ruin their reputation with rumors." She ranted to herself before closing her pokegear and checking the time.

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire, shrine of landorus ~2pm
Its taken time to paint up and sunscreen you're exposed bits its almost 2 you hour is almost up
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Oh crap..." Claire mutters when she realizes the time. She'd taken way longer than she expected. She sent a quick text to Z: -Lost track of time, will have to get scyte when I get back to Castila-
Then she gathers her stuff and heads back to see Collin.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"Are you all ready?" Says Collin when you return. You notice he is now joined buy a large steelix which he is petting
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"I'm ready enough." Claire says with a nod. "So...would it be improper for me to ask about the lady that was leaving when I talked to you an hour ago?" She asked, curious what he had to say.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"I don't see why it would be improper though I suppose people don't usually ask me about what is proper. what would you like to know?"
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"I was just curious what she was here for. I mean, I assume since you do tours it was there to get a tour from you. Yet you weren't too busy to assist me." She comments.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"Yes she asked for help finding an artifact but the spirit of the earth prompted me to decline her request." he says as if there was nothing odd about that.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Oh...I see. And this 'spirit of the earth' told you to help me?" Claire asked. Hearing his answer helped alleviate her concerns more. So the guy has just turned down cause random spirits he talked too.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"Well more like The spirit of the earth couldn't find a reason to object and I found you intentions to be noble enough myself."
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Oh...well, I guess that's acceptable." She says. "Alright, shall we head out then?" She asks as she nods towards the exit. "Thank you for your help." She says with a smile.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Kara pulled her phone out and looked a bit curiously at it. She rarely expected calls after all. "Hey this is Nelsa, what's up?" she spoke after answering.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Claire
"Yes lets" he says mounting the mighty steel beast and offering you a hand up
Kara
"We really got to get you a cooler nick name" comes Goggles snarkiness over the phone "Anyway potential breakthrough I only passed around the descriptions of those people in the pictures and the bit that there was a crazy guy looking for a mega ring, and Miku one of the other girls who live here thinks she saw one of the people in the pictures at her day job. It was the hot pale one by the way. Anyway Miku talked to a boy the hot girl was with named Uriel he seemed to recognize the descriptions of people I passed to miku but didn't believe any of the people he knew who matched the descriptions had a mega ring. Anyway Miku passed me his phone number. Do you wanna call him or do you wanna leave it to me? and do you wanna owe me or miku for getting the number. psst pick miku that way she still owes me a favor..." Says the talkative treasure hunter
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Opal nods, remembering that from her mother talking to her, she'd been envious of her ability to eat so much without gaining a single gram of weight, "Ano, can we talk now? I mentioned I had to ask you something before," she asks simply, hoping she was calmed down enough to actually talk for now.
-
Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Kara laughed and brushed out her fur a little while Goggles spoke. "Well I would hate to deprive you of a good opportunity then. We'll say I owe here. Any ideas for how I could pay her back?" Another little laugh then she got down to business. "Well thank you, it is good to have a lead on the people in those pictures. I'm not entirely sure what to do with that information yet. I guess maybe tell the people about this stalker? I don't exactly need a mega ring myself, It's just that however that crazy guy was that was shooting at me, I know he shouldn't have one. But...if none of them do, why does he have those pictures?"
She rubbed her head a bit and sighed while trying to work out what to do with this information. "Well the people in those pictures at least seem to be strange or unique for the most part. At least, the girl definitely looked abnormal as well as the guy with the blue tauros. I don't know if it could be a lead on dealing with my elementalism but it is at least worth looking into. And I can ask about that weird guy. I think I will call them."
After a moment of thinking she added, "Oh while I'm thinking about it, do you know anyone who might know more about weird shards? I am getting more curious about the thing. Maybe I can take it to someone to look into it."

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
Opal
She looks at you and nods indicating that she is listening
Kara
"You'll have to ask the crazy cosplayer what she wants she is really hard to nail down. Masters of disguise are like that. As for the people in the pictures if we want to be cynical about this what is going on exactly and what danger they may or may not be in isn't really what we are after. Basically whats going on is something odd and its odd goings on that we expect to find either the Wisp or another possible lead for a cure to your curse mixed up in so the only detail that matters is if a potential cure(wisp or otherwise) is mixed up in this particular goings on and if it isn't we see of there are other odd goings ons tied to the exhausted goings on and if those related goings on have a potential cure mixed up in them so on and so forth navigating a maze of oddities until you find what you are after. The question is simply how direct you want to be. If you went up and said "Hi I'm cursed with mightyena bits and am looking for someone or something that could change that. Yes? No? can you please point me in the direction of the next spook'em then" then you'd probably get answers pretty fast otherwise you would need to more subtly meddle in others odd affairs and get involved to some degree for better or worse. As for the shard I'm in the mansion library going over the reference material and my personal notes as we speak nothing concrete about mind altering affects though just old fairy tales no relevante information on potential uses and applications. Though Grimoire the other girl who lives here you haven't met yet is in the middle of chasing down one of these fairy tales for her own reasons. Its some piece of jewelry that was some how used to trick a king or queen or something. Anyway if she finds it and its the real deal we might be able to compare the two and see if they work off the same principles."

Re: [PTU, IC] The Invisible League 3: You actually exploded!
"Alright thanks, I'd rather not have to try too often to learn about this thing through personal experience. Then again...last time I touched it didn't end up so badly." She chuckled and looked over herself, thinking about her experiences today. "And I thank you for the insight. It helps to have another viewpoint in all this. I think I'd prefer to keep subtle, but that does give me a few little ideas on how to handle this. Now I really do want to call up this guy, maybe he could put me in contact with the weird pale girl. Well obviously he could, but now I have some ideas for how to get that to happen."
"Okay, so Miku, Flu, Grimoire, the girl with the guns whose name I have already forgotten, and of course you Goggles. Any other masks in the house I need to know about?" She asked mostly in jest, but just in case.
