Of transmitters and familiars. [mingle/video/action!!!]

[familiar_fox]

Have you ever pondered trap doors? A strange concept in this day and age. Um, however, this is not just one of my normal ponderings - else I'd speak of a Bards' lyrics.

[The video feed is rather dark, outside Venture High. Velasquez looks rather beaten, but she's got a small smile on her face. She's in her normal, human-like form with a silly, awkward smirk.]

I am the hero of this small section of the story we call life. For, you see, er...

I'll just bring up the pictures.

[A pause, as suddenly - pictures of a transmitter - a large radar-dish like one, around 10 feet tall - are shown over the network, surrounded by a crowd of Deviobots! Velasquez continues to speak as the pictures are shown, blurry and clearly hastily taken. Velasquez had gotten down there, freaked out, taken pictures - and gotten shot at a few times.]

While everybody was rushing to look up high, I pondered the timing of this announcement. At the, um, beginning of Summer V-Vacation. And I thought they might be there - where nobody would look? So I started to smell around - and-and I smelled that familiar scent. Of darkness.

[...A pause.]

After breaking in, I went down below. Deep, deep below. And under where people would gather for assemblies or games of fun [in other words, the gymnasium], I-I found it. A Trap Door, the dust from the school the only thing moved to show it was there.

But I am no hero - I am but a simple familiar. I cannot get to it myself. Um. May I ask for help? I can lead. You can follow.

((OOC: Yup! This is mod approved - Velasquez has found the transmitter beacon! Feel free to use this as a mingle because lol my RP drive.))

"You sure you should be using a pistol without sharp eyes? Cause that gun looks bigger than is useful."

The kid looked more worried because he didn't know what he was looking at. Who he was looking at. But she seemed to be on their side. He was primarily worried about the safety of waving a fire arm about when there was the possibility of being blind there.

"Wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. Some of us don't just get one giant pistol and call that good."

Though the kid's own dueling pistols were hardly small, they weren't nothing compared to that one the child was carrying.

"Gramps?" Simon mutters. Well, he does look it.

He shakes his head. "Well, we'll be needing all the help we can get! Let's just hurry and get it over with."

In most cases he'd have also been worried about an eyeless girl with a gun, but to him she looks fine. Her eyes are bizarrely bright and green, but they're definitely there! Sometimes his visions just make things confusing. It's not all ashes and ghosts.

She doesn't even bother answering that whole talk about safety and practicality. Just raises a hand and brings it open and shut, like a mouth. This is what you're doing, Seb. She wants you to stop doing it.

At Simon, she rolls her shoulders idly readjusts her hat. "Yeah, yeah, let's get a move on already. We're burnin' daylight here!" And then she doesn't even wait for them before she takes off, practically rocketing down the next available alleyway. Her legs even do that thing where they look like one big wheel because she's going so fast.

It's kinda weird looking, actually.

The kid was fast for all his gear but well, sometimes you think you've seen everything. Then you see a child running around with twirly legs. The Kid just stared before following after her. They weren't far from the school now, taking off towards it with Simon in toe.

"I think she is bound to be more of a liability than a help, but I figure we can't be too picky."

[knows_your_name]

Simon can't hold back a laugh. "We could say the same for me!"

Hopefully that wouldn't be the case, but he knows his record. It doesn't take them long to reach the school, and he starts to slow as they approach.

"Where's the one who sent the transmission?"

[steamboatkilly]

"Looks like we came in early."

Now, they could just wait around until Valasquez shows her face again, but patience has never been Peacock's style. That in mind, she reaches behind her back with her free hand and pulls out an enormous megaphone, turning her head the the sky and screeching right into the mouthpiece.

"YO, FOXY LOXY! CAVALRY'S HERE!"
