With Terminal brilliantly solving what was afflicting them all, Tentacular could now duck his head back in. "You don't need to breathe!" He slapped a tentacle on his own forehead in realisation, leaving a momentary sucker-shaped welt. "What about food Buffalo Bull? Chew the cud? Don't need meat? Vegan! Or was that your own dizzy gas knocking us out? Ruminant!" Tentacular resumed his trademark patter while he observed to see if the three of them stood a good chance of taking the Ox down, or whether they ought to be making their getaway, now that they had the files.
OOC:
So, real question for all, fight or flight? Assuming both are possible GM?

OOC:
We finished all of our objectives, right? So either should be fine, considering Terminal already knocked the Ox down once. If we do fight, someone else will have to take the lead, since the power suit is still toasty.

OOC:
I can do either. Weirdly enough, the Ox seems perfectly content to let you make the choice. Considering the folks who have damage, I'd suggest fly for now. But again, either way works. I promise I will not TPK in episode 1.Jun 30, 2022 5:29 pm
Terminal pouts a bit at the unsubtle slight towards her.
"Geez, you have an awful personality. Were you raised in a barn? Anyways, we're going now. See ya."

The Ox leans back on the desk and waggles his fingers.
Toodle moo.
Leaving is....weirdly easy. You have the hard drive, the documents, and the password booklet for Grady's cloud storage - if he's even bothered uploading anything. It would be too easy to prove he'd stolen the information that way, so you may luck out.
You were told to lay low until the next night so you look more like third-shift workers. You get back to the car without further incident. Now you just have to decide where to go.

"Now that was weird." Tentacular spoke up when they were back in the car. "The room was set up to knock us out. Black Swan and Quantum Gal when trying to take us out, but the Ox did nothing. Doesn't seem right."
"Think they'll send people after us? Or maybe there's a tracker in here?" He handed the hard drive over to Terminal to inspect. "Can they even guess who employed us to do the job?" Tentacular make sure not to mention the name of their employer in case there was a homing or eavesdropping device.

Brigid sits in the truck bed, with the rear window opened so she could reach inside.
"I'd say the Ox probably wasn't feeling as confident as he was acting after I hit him the first time."
Brigid takes the hard drive and looks it over briefly, not really expecting to find anything.
"Anyways, they can probably guess who our employer is, but they probably can't do anything about it even if they know."
Seeing June, Brigid puts the hard drive on her head, balancing it.
"By the way, this is June, right? I'm not sure if I was seeing things earlier or not."

"Oh I thought you were going to do some techy stuff to it." Tentacular gave his appendages a little finger-like wriggle. "Well then, nothing to do till tomorrow. We don't have a safehouse to retreat to, and I feel that someone gonna come after us. But that's just me, over cautious - " He paused since no one was listening to him, Terminal clearly in communication with the cat who was clearly communicating back.

"Oh, that's what you wanted me to do."
Brigid catches the hard drive that fell off because of June's nodding. Though Brigid is bursting with questions to ask about June's power, she remembers that a cat probably won't have the language to answer them adequately. So she just sticks to tweaking June's ears while opening up the hard drive with her tools to check for anything that's not supposed to be in a hard drive.
"Yeah, we need a place to stay for the night. Ideas?"

"Maybe our flexible felicitious feline has some ideas. Mech-sized kitty box? Squid bowl?"

does a full body shake before jumping into the back seat and transforming back, somehow still fully clothed.

Brigid looks up from her tinkering when June transforms.
"Interesting. Do items you carry also transform with you?"

"Well, I don't fancy splitting up and going home with these until we meet again tonight. We can stay here. I don't mean here here, as in the location. I meant in the car. Drive out of the city, grab a quick bite and a shower at a motel, then back again to the yachts to see Gennison. That should be inconspicuous enough."
Jul 4, 2022 5:26 pm
"As inconspicuous as we can be."
After all, not a single person in here was particularly trying not to stand out with their appearance, with whatever costume and dangly bits they have on them.

Luckily, there's a shady motel on the edge of town.
Actually, it's not shady at all. Some rendezvous locations thrive on shadow. This one just blinds prying eyes with tacky neon lights. You hear at least three separate poorly-balanced mix-tapes; one with too much bass, one with crackling treble, and the third sounds like Tibetan throat singing, but to each their own, you suppose. It's all certainly better than hearing what's going on in those rooms. It does seem clean. You'll give the owners that much.
The pallid night attendant appears to be using this job to fund his mediocre streaming channel. You step up to the counter and he pauses his game.
Welcome to the Screaming Stiletto, what can I do for.......
He catches a glimpse of your costumes and concern flashes briefly across his face.
We've only got like three rooms left. But I'm guessing that's not a problem?

"Yeah....no.....I'll catch you all later."
Riven, having reached her "ridiculous" threshold, flies off, presumably to meet up tomorrow night.
