Introductions weren’t something that Tsurumi had paid particularly close attention to, though she found the pair of twins to be intriguing at the very least. Her bigger concern at this point was with what the group of recruits had heard before being shuffled out of the meeting earlier. “Sooooo…” Tsurumi did her best to avoid staring at the pair of twins, “we heard something about a break-in earlier. Is that something we should be worried about?” “If Geri says it’s all fine up there, we should take her at her word,” Fay answered. From her lap, she set a large sketchpad down on the table in front of her, fetched a pencil from some unknown pocket on her person, and got to sketching something. “It’s unusual for psychics to be able to break into facilities like this under normal circumstances. And even if it wasn’t…” Fay slammed her hand on the sketchpad, causing a hovering image of Air Force Zero’s layout to spring from the page, floating in the air in front of her. She pointed the pencil to one large room that, based on the plan, was rather difficult to access. “The prison block is in a spot that makes it tough to get to, or tough to leave the airship through if people know there’s a breakout happening. Plus, there’s only one way in or out, and we have mechanisms to lock the place down real tight. If there was a risk of trouble, we’d know about it by now.” “We could always go check it out if you’re that worried, though,” May added. “And we could get that hair Geri mentioned while we’re at it.” “Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.” Tsurumi stammered nervously, “By ‘we’, do you mean…” “You’d be coming with, yeah. You’re the one who asked about it, so you’ve gotta come with.” Two-for-one Deal!? Tsurumi was taken aback. She had only just joined the team, but she was already an integral member?? This pair of adorable twin sisters needed her. Of course, it would fit her desire even better if one of them was a boy, but this wasn’t one of the books she used to read in her room, after all! Two girls was still a catch! As they walked their way toward the prison block, each twin held one of Tsurumi’s hands. They were in lock-step as she skipped gleefully. She wasn’t sure how she would break it to Sita and the Phantom Thief of Hearts, but she knew that the right place for her was snugly in the middle of this matching set. Of course, once the trio had reached the prison block, she looked down to see that both of her hands were empty, and the twins were several paces ahead of her, having a conversation of their own that they apparently didn’t feel the need to involve her in. Figures. The prison block of Air Force Zero was as much a prison block as one could imagine. Once Tsurumi and the twins stepped through the block's singular door in or out, they were met with the sight of rows of cells on either side of a long hallway, most of which were currently unoccupied, and the MIRROR agents that sat in the few exceptions didn’t seem to be in much of a talking mood at present. Patrolling around the cells were armed guards, who seemed to be chattering amongst themselves over the recent break-in that had been mentioned. “It really is like nobody broke in,” Fay mused to herself, already making her way to one of the guards. “And off goes Detective Fay,” May sighed. “She loves mystery shit like this.” “Did they take anything? It doesn’t look like anyone was injured.” Tsurumi held a hand to her chin, looking around for any kind of clue, which undoubtedly she was incapable of finding herself. “Not much here to take, far as I know. The doors use machines to open and close too, so you can’t even hold the keys for ransom since we don’t have any.” “Then what’s the goal?” Tsurumi froze, in a combination of excitement and terror, “AN ASSASSINATION???” “Oooh, that would be a spicy plot! Some sinister ghost-man breaks into the fortress, out to finish what the thwarted villains of MIRROR have started! And his only hope for survival is…” “Please don’t drag our new friends into your delusions,” Fay sighed, returning to the pair, and holding out for them, a long, silver piece of hair. “Here’s our hair. If we bring it back to Dayna, she’ll be able to tell us more about the head it came from.” “From just the hair?” “Mhm. It’s hard to describe, but she can see information, as if everything around her has sticky notes telling her all about it.” Opening up the trusty sketchbook once more, Fay further elaborated while sketching, “For example, you can’t see what I’m drawing. But if Dayna saw the sketchbook’s back side, she’d be able to–” “It’s a dolphin,” May interrupted. “And that is a cheating rat,” Fay groaned, casting a disdainful glare at her twin. “Point being, she’d see what’s on the open page of the sketchbook, even if she can only see the cover on the back.” “It’s how she cheats at cards, too,” May added. “She just looks at the cards in your hand, and knows exactly what you’re holding. Or she can look at the deck and see what order the rest of the cards are stacked in. It’s completely unfair!” “Wait, Dayna is the redhead? So her getting spooked by Tarzan means…” “Whatever she saw, it must have been very unusual.” “She’s usually more the type to wanna dissect your powers than get spooked by them. Like a frog! A very big frog.”
