[ thomas is going to sliiide off his folded-arms place against the wall to pipe up because gar, did you forget you're not the boss anymore ]

It's probably wisest for some of us to go in disguised, and for others to take a more sneaky approach. [ he wiggles his fingers a few times and then nods his head at mark ] It seems those who stayed behind were mapping out the areas of the building they'd checked, not to mention getting their hands on some blueprints. The place is absolutely swarming with rather spacious airducts that we can surely use to our advantage. We have the tech to take out surveillance systems as we pass them, or place them on a loop, so we should be using it.

Meanwhile a few of you ladies can probably get around the building if we splash a little makeup on you, put you in some dangerous heels and give you some custom passes as part of Finnick's entourage. Entourage ladies get access to a lot of locations, because people start to look at them as furniture. Time to bite sexism in the backside by using it to our utmost advantage, I say.

[65]

He has a point. [aw yeah sexism ... ]

[slay]

So, our options are crawling through vents or being glorified pieces of furniture? [ wow this is actually a really hard decision. ugh biting sexism in the ass probably involves going with dumage too, doesn't it. she looks over at her pointedly, then sighs. ] Arm candy it is.

[witchwoman]

I can go with you. [She doesn't understand 'entourage' or 'arm candy' but being with Buffy and Finnick would be nice. She knows that she can't be with everyone she cares about all the time- especially when they are all on the same mission and splitting up :(]

[bigbad]

...I don't think it's the best job for you, love. [Spike glances at Thomas and Gar.] I can do the vent exploring part. Don't think I've got the temperament for arm candy. [Also he's a guy.]

[bancroft]

But you do have the hair to make a very convincing stylist.

[slay]

Not one that could get hired anywhere. [ buffy can't help but be judgy ok it's her default. and now mom is going to contradict dad in front of everyone. she puts a hand on myri's arm. ] If you wanna be on team objectification, you should be. You can do whichever part of the mission you want. [ it's all said in a tone of 'no matter what your father says.' ]

[bancroft]

As for our friend, Mr. Giovanni, perhaps some of you can escort him in attempting to arrange a meeting with Chad Becksworth, under the guise of desiring to speak with him about signing once more.

[bigbad]

[WOW BUFFY WAY TO UNDERMINE HIS AUTHORITY HOW WILL SHE RESPECT HIM NOW.] I think a job that involves me standing in front of mirrors would tip our hand a bit anyway. Sticking with vents.

[slay]

Can I change my vote and sign up for that instead?

[65]

[finnick has been kicking back and watching the chaos unfold tbh. he has mixed feelings about myri being arm candy because he wants to protect her and is really :$ about people seeing her with him while he's rockstarchan. but he'd get to see her ........... ]

How romantic.

[witchwoman]

As much as I'd like to be all places at once, I can only be one. I'm still not familiar with many of the buildings we'll be entering and would hate to jeopardize the exploration of these vents.

I'm not certain what I would need to do to be... candy, but I am sure that I will be successful.

Besides, no matter the task, there is a chance of failure, but we are all aiming to obtain information, are we not? Surely we will have plenty of opportunity for such things with so many of us inside.

[slay]

[ omg myri you're so cute. and this is why you're probably best off being finnick's arm candy. ]

Mostly? Keep your mouth shut, your eyes peeled, and look pretty.

[bigbad]

You should go with her. [Because being Finnick's fake eye candy is infinitely preferable to being Rafael's. But also to keep an eye out for Myri.]

[ speaking of raf, he was invited in on this meeting, so he's leaning up against the wall and nods to buffy ] I would like it if Buffy might accompany me in seeking this Chad Becksworth, si.

[shootfirst]

If it means I don't have to wear a dress, I'm with you guys. [ she sidles up next to buffy ]

[slay]

Myri's all knighted now. She'll be fine. [ it's said in dismissal of spike, but she does shoot finnick one of those motherly looks of YOU'D BETTER TAKE CARE OF MY BABY before her gaze, softer, turns on kat and rafael. ] Did promise we'd work together again, didn't I?

[witchwoman]

[Myri's making a map of who is with who for herself.]

I'll go with Finnick. Buffy and Kat with Rafael. I imagine Sir Thomas and Mark might join Spike?

That leaves Gar and... Dumage. [She tries her best not to wince when she says it.]

[bigbad]

[This is not how Spike wanted the team break-ups to go. But all the arguments against make him sound like a jealous caveman, so he just leans back in his chair and looks generally annoyed.]

1/-

[rationalizes]

I think I'll go with Rafael as well then, as we're the three who are acquainted with him.

2/-

[nosdacariad]

[ mark's eyes skid to spike, and he doesn't look entirely pleased with the arrangement but he admits: ] Don't really think I'd look great in a dress either, so ducts it is.

3/-

[postergirl]

I know that I do, so naturally, I'll accompany Finnick. [ she'll slide her arm through his with a smirk in his direction. ]

4/4

[bancroft]

All settled then. Finnick, Myri, and Dumage will be attempting to work their way into populated areas of the building where they can eavesdrop or work information out of people. Buffy, Kat, and Gar will take Rafael in hopes of arranging a meeting with Chad Becksworth, under the guise of getting him signed under him for the Nova label, but ostensibly to scope out Chad in person, and try to get a glimpse of his main squeeze. Myself, Spike, and Mark will take to the ducts, to try and find access to areas of the building that have been limited to us, or to spy on private conversations.

Questions?

[65]

[he smiles as dumage like "oh yes you do" and gives her arm a pat. man this is going to be ... an adventure ..... ]

It all sounds perfectly clear to me.

[slay]

Any tips on how to resist punching this skeezebag in the face? 'Cause I could use those. [ beat. she glances around. ] ... Kidding. [ mostly. ] So, when do we start? Tomorrow? Bright and early Monday morning?
