[Action]
Near the centre of Venture City is the familiar façade of Piffle Princess, a well-known local costuming business for both the mild-mannered and the super-powered.
On most days, Tomoyo is bustling around the store, singing to herself and cheerfully re-arranging window displays. Today, however, is different. Today, Tomoyo can be found standing still and silent outside the entrance, hands folded neatly together in front of her, clad in muted colours.
Every now and then, a familiar face passes by, and Tomoyo reaches out to them and utters some quiet words of encouragement: Yes, another dark scheme is unfolding. But this, too, shall pass -- the dastardly are always defeated, and brighter days are on the horizon -- just like always.
Piffle Princess is open for business, just like always. Anyone needing a garment tailored, repaired, or created from scratch can still come in today. They will just be greeted by a Tomoyo a little more subdued than usual.
Those in the know may also know that Tomoyo offers another service: filming heroes doing what they do best, and acting as a go-between to discretely sell the footage to the press without revealing any secret identities. This service is not explicitly advertised, but if someone tells Tomoyo that they are "interested in a photoshoot," she will know exactly what they mean.

Well, I happen to be making a documentary about all the wonderful heroes who protect our fair city, as well as the vile Villains they fight.
I would be very interested in purchasing copies of all the uncut footage you've collected since you've started your little enterprise. I can pay you handsomely.
no subject
[Tomoyo presses a finger to her lips, thinking.]
It happens that I hold a joint ownership of the footage with the individuals who have been so kind as to let me film them. It would have to be handled on a case-by-case basis, I'm afraid, subject to each person's approval.
[Tomoyo is ever the helpful type, however, and so--]
I'd be happy to ask my customers to release their footage for your purposes. I'm sure plenty of them would be more than happy to oblige.
no subject
Of course! Just give me a list of who I need releases from, and we'll be doing business soon!
no subject
Please, do leave it all to me! You're a busy man. Besides, [And she drops her voice to a whisper--] the nature of my job means that I know how to contact many of the heroes concerned, ah, "out of costume." It should be very quick.
no subject
Very well, if you think that's best.
[It's not what he prefers, but if he pushes this too much right now he might lose any advantage. If the nice approach yields nothing, his alter ego will just have to visit Tomoyo later.]
