The Adventure

Fuchsia becomes perfectly still, Holy Robo-Beast-Master she narrates in the quietest of whispers, as she points the camera towards the squirrels, still recording. Are you guys seeing this? Those things are stinkin' adorable.
she watches the agility with which they move around as their heads swivel in a manner that is undeniably cute. She waits until they seem busy with work to speak and remains silent as they scan, I mean c'mon.
She catches herself before she becomes too carried away with how cute they are and remains in a quiet whisper, I mean, I think this only confirms my supervillain theory you guys, they're clearly robbing Sal at least, and I bet you they're up to something much bigger than that. I don't think we should risk getting caught trying to interfere, but I do wish I had some way to track them....

She'll scan the yard for any obvious route in or out for the squirrels, maybe a tree near the fence or something like that? After looking around for a moment, she will attempt to slip back into the office before the squirrels notice her, the tour returns, or the dogs come back.

These robo-squirrels seem just as quick and agile as normal squirrels, so it's impossible to determine a likely escape route without actually seeing them head in a certain direction. The barbed-wire-topped chain link fence surrounding the junkyard wouldn't be an obstacle, and the junkyard is surrounded by woods on three sides. And if they really had to, they could just run out the front entrance.

Fuchsia is able to slip back into the office unnoticed...but it looks like the tour is returning, and the dogs are still occupied with Small Fry....

Small Fry grows as big as a firefly as she zips up out of reach.

"Okay, doggies. I know you’re just following orders, but I gotta make like an I.T. nerd and protect my friends with a firewall!"

Small Fry isn’t about to risk burning innocent Rottweilers to death, even if they would’ve gladly devoured her tiny form. Instead, she uses her power of Sunshine & Rainbows to create a wall of Very Warm Light That Is Still Pretty Even in the Limited Spectrum of a Dog’s Eye!

Ideally, this will keep them occupied for a while, and hopefully, when they do finally pass through the bright, warm, harmless wall of their "cage," they’ll have no idea where Fierce Fource has gone.

Since Small Fry has already bamboozled the doggies, it's easy for her to "trap" them within a benevolent light construct.

The guard dogs strain their senses, trying to figure out just what this weird tiny fairy thing has done to them, but it'll be a few seconds (maybe even a few minutes) before they "break free."

Left to their own devices, that is. Sal will surely get a handle on them, once he and the woman return to the entrance....

Small Fry grows and—as she’s "feeling big" over her success in defeating the dogs without harming them—she grows a little too big to maintain her fairy wings.

Her doll-sized shoes keep her in flight long enough to get back to the others. She moves the last hundred feet of her return trip barefoot and on foot. By the time she approaches Doppelgänger and Victor, she’s a little taller than Peter Dinklage.

"The dogs are in a better place now. Oh! No, wait. Not like..like Heaven. I mean a..a warm place. Not Hell." She thinks a bit, shrinks a bit… "I didn’t kill the dogs."

Her size eventually stabilizes at an inch shorter than Jyoti Amge.

"So, what do we… y’know..?"
Dec 23, 2024 9:35 pm
Sal and the woman make their way back to the junkyard entrance, passing by the truck where the robo-squirrels were located. If Fuchsia can still see the truck, she'll know that the squirrels have hidden themselves while the two pass. Sal is talking about junkyard stuff, while the woman is silent and poker-faced. It's unclear whether they've noticed anything out of the ordinary during their tour.
Dec 23, 2024 9:36 pm
Sal then notices what Small Fry has done to his dogs, and waddles towards them at an impressive pace.

"What the hell is this?! If you've hurt my boys, I'll---"

He stops hollering, because a Cadillac Escalade has pulled smoothly into the lot, parking beside Sarah's car. The massive vehicle has the OmniCorp logo on the side.

Four stern-faced people wearing suits step out. They're various genders and ethnicities, because OmniCorp values diversity. Not really, of course; they just say they do to keep the Twitter fanatics at bay. All four are corporate stooges anyway, so their outer appearance matters little.

One of them addresses everyone. It hardly matters which, because again, they're all of the same mind.

"We'd like to take a look around the area, Mr. Salvatore Amato."

The voice is flat, lifeless. This is someone who finds excitement filling out expense reports.

Sal is caught between the chance to earn more money, and determining what's happened to his dogs. He tries to do both, moving towards the dogs and confusedly waving an arm through Small Fry's construct, while also replying to the stooges.

"Ummm...you boys OK? Bark twice if ya are! [They bark twice.] Damn, that's a relief! Uh...yeah, you can look around! $50 for a tour! Get 'em while they're hot!"
Dec 23, 2024 9:48 pm
The stooges converse with each in whispers.

"We aren't keen on paying for a...tour, as you call it. You don't normally charge the public to simply walk around your junkyard, do you?"

They then turn their attention to the mystery woman.

"You seem familiar. Identify yourself."
Dec 23, 2024 9:50 pm
The woman chuckles, and her hands move to her guns.

"Name's Jet Black. Now I have to deal with you corporate slaves, as well as these stupid cosplayers? Well, nobody ever said life was easy...."

Her guard is willingly dropped, so you know she's:

Concerned murmurs from the corpos.

"You are known to us. Vacate the premises immediately."

They then turn to the Fierce Fource.

"You are not known to us. Still, we advise you to leave. OmniCorp thanks you for being valued consumers, and wishes you well in your future endeavors."

It seems like this powder keg is about to explode! What do you do?!

Victor swallows nervously. At his feet, Hilde the cat nudges his leg and gives him a meaningful look. "Is it really necessary? Maybe the others can convince everybody just to get along?" he whispers hopefully, dreading what might turn into his first full-on confrontation.

You know, there's no need for you to be insulting, we were just leaving anyways, she looks to her teammates, Unless you guys think we need to stick around for this?

"We kinda got what we came for, right?" Darshelle said flatly. She meant Fuchsia finding the robot squirrels. "We can let these guys play iSpy all night if they want. We do have better things yo be doing, after all." Like finding the girl instead of taking on three sides of a Mexican Standoff.Let's get in the car and talk on the way."

If we do decide to go outside, Fuchsia would like to suggest that maybe Doppleganger turn themself into one of those squirrels and small fry shrink down to hitch a ride, see if they can figure out where the squirrles are reporting back to, and then Victor and I can follow in the car.

Per the GM, I’ll roll Small Fry’s shrinker stat for Fuchsia’s plan. But I don’t want to steal TJ’s thunder, so just the roll and a narrative of SF’s willingness to comply. (I really do love the plan!)
Small Fry thinks her teammates have the right idea to leave the hostile situation.

And if her teammates have other ideas about sneaking around while everyone else basically creates a diversion… she’s all for it!

As Smallfry turns one way out the exit, Fuschia turns the other way,
Okay Here's one for The Omnigram.

She stands proudly in view of the office, turns her head to a flattering tilt, extends her selfie-stick, and makes sure to get the junkyard in the shot, (even in it's dump-heapedishness, she finds an aesthetically pleasing angle that makes it look nicer than it is} she makes an effortless smile, and as a final touch, she engulfs herself in her signature blue and fuchsia flames.

How's this for a distraction?
