>"How do you know for sure it's not hers?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Do you know where hers is?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"How do you know for sure it's not hers?"

>"I bought it new from a hardware store," she says.

> "Do you know where hers is?"

>"No idea," says Shizuha. "It might be one of those things that got lost in transition."

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, shoot.
> Say goodbye to the two goddesses and start flying toward Keine's.
> Congratulate Stargazer for a job well done in the fight earlier.
> Ask Stargazer why she appeared in front of the girl with the grapes in her hat.

>Stupid people getting new wheelbarrows...
>You say farewell and make your way out of the shrine without any issues. Apparently Sanae is either sleeping off her wounds, or just elsewhere.
>Stargazer is pleased with your compliments about her performance in the fight, she didn't really know what was going on then.
>You also Stargazer why she appeared in front of Minoriko. She seems to feel that Minoriko is trustworthy, and the crystal was far too interesting to pass up.
>You head toward Keine's condo, flying toward Uptown. You notice, very quickly, there is a helicopter flying around in this area, and a fair number of police sirens lighting up the cityscape below.

[DracoOmega]

>Do the police seem to be congregated in any particular place?
>How far away is the helicopter? Does it seem likely they could see us from this distance, if they were looking?
>Oh, was the university uptown?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do the police seem to be congregated in any particular place?
>How far away is the helicopter? Does it seem likely they could see us from this distance, if they were looking?
>Oh, was the university uptown?

>They seem somewhat congregated over the place where you and the goddesses duked it out., but they're fairly spread out.
>It's a distance away. Given there's no moon out, and you're fairly high up, you don't think they'd notice you unless they turned a search light on you.
>When was Keine's home at the university?

[DracoOmega]

>Not implying it was, but it could have been in the same neighborhood....
>Continue towards Keine's, while keeping out of sight as best as possible
>If there ARE any search lights, be very aware of where they're pointing, and make sure not to get caught in one

[Hello Purvis]

>Not implying it was, but it could have been in the same neighborhood....
>Continue towards Keine's, while keeping out of sight as best as possible
>If there ARE any search lights, be very aware of where they're pointing, and make sure not to get caught in one

>Ah, no. The University is some distance away,
>You do your best to stay out of sight, until you get to the general region where Keine lives. Unfortunately, you cannot see street signs or addresses from the air.
>The helicopter is shining one toward the ground, you keep a wary eye on it.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>How well can we narrow down the area where she lives without being able to see street signs?
>Her address was for a condo, correct? Are there multiple condo buildings visible in that area?

[Hello Purvis]

>How well can we narrow down the area where she lives without being able to see street signs?
>Her address was for a condo, correct? Are there multiple condo buildings visible in that area?

>You think you can get it within a few blocks.
>There are a number of condominiums in the area.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Fly towards the area that we can narrow it down to
>Is the phone we have advanced enough to have any sort of mapping or gps system in it? Or just a browser we could use to check out google maps, or something?

[Hello Purvis]

>Fly towards the area that we can narrow it down to
>Is the phone we have advanced enough to have any sort of mapping or gps system in it? Or just a browser we could use to check out google maps, or something?

>You try to narrow it down, and can get it to a four by three block radius.
>You check Yamame's phone: Hey, there is a browser on it. Maybe this is why she doesn't mind the night shift at Mad Mart?
>With a bit of googling, you are able to narrow it down to to a particularly building!

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Fly towards that building
>Did we also get an apartment number to go with that address?

[Hello Purvis]

>Fly towards that building
>Did we also get an apartment number to go with that address?

>You fly toward that building. Having a look around, it seems pretty clear, but there is a police cruiser a block away, making a slow patrol route.
>You do have an apartment number.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Do the condos have balconies?
>Did the condo number indicate it was above the ground floor?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do the condos have balconies?
>Did the condo number indicate it was above the ground floor?

>They do! But they are small and will be difficult to land on.
>If you understand the numbering scheme correctly, it should be third floor.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Difficult, but not impossible, if we knew the correct one?
>Land on the roof

[Hello Purvis]

>Difficult, but not impossible, if we knew the correct one?
>Land on the roof

>Not impossible by any means, just it would take a little time.
>You land on the roof. It's pretty flat and empty, you don't seem much in the way of roof-mounted ventilations and the like; they must use a system on the ground. As such, it's difficult not to stand out.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>What time is it?
>Do we see any access to the building from here?

[Thaws]

Is it possible to fold our wings then wear our cape inside out (starry sky pattern outside) so we don't stand out as much?

[Hello Purvis]

>What time is it?
>Do we see any access to the building from here?

>It is after midnight.
>No, there appears to be no roof access.

Is it possible to fold our wings then wear our cape inside out (starry sky pattern outside) so we don't stand out as much?

>You can't hide your wings entirely, but you can fold them under your cape for a little while before they begin to cramp up. Your wings would be less obvious at a distance at least. As well, you can flip your cape inside out, but as a consequence, you won't be able to use your fusion gear.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Call Keine

[Thaws]

>Wear cape inside out if we're standing out because of the white cape. Don't fold wings as it's not necessary. We're in no condition to fight anyways.nvm

>Don't change cape. We're going to be flying in, anyway. No way to disguise that we're abnormal

Well I was kinda hoping that the pilot of the helicopter won't notice us as we call Keine if we hide in our cape.

[DracoOmega]

>Don't change cape. We're going to be flying in, anyway. No way to disguise that we're abnormal

[Hello Purvis]

>Call Keine

>You call Keine.
>The phone rings for nearly a minute, before it picks up, and a sleepy, unfamiliar voice says, "Hello?"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Miss Kamishirasawa? I'm very, very sorry to be calling you in the middle of the night, but this is something of an emergency."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Miss Kamishirasawa? I'm very, very sorry to be calling you in the middle of the night, but this is something of an emergency."

>"Huh?" she says, "What happened? Did someone get hurt?"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"Some people will be if I don't act quickly, and I'm going to need your help. I'm a friend of Nitori Kawashiro. I don't know if that name will ring any bells?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"What?" says the speaker. "What's going on? What does Professor Kawashiro have anything to do with this?"
