Welcome to Gaia! ::

This whole space thing was hard not to get wrapped up in and excited for. There was commotion everywhere, paperwork flying, and so many trolls to talk to! It was a little chaotic, to say the least. Trolls were either filling out piles and piles of paperwork to even be allowed to go into space, or milling about waiting for something to happen and for the whole thing to start. Luckily for ground crew there was less paperwork, but only by a little, so the tealblood had all the time in the world to mosey. She slipped easily through the crowd, keeping her eyes open for familiar faces, usually preferably celebrity faces, but hey, Avvisi wasn't picky. To be a good reporter, or journalist, you needed a big network of trolls, connections, everywhere, and this environment was the perfect place to do just that. I mean, what better way to network then a place where trolls who both didn't know each other, and could not escape, were being held!

Avvisi kept her eyes open, looking at troll after troll, wondering at the story behind each and every set of eyes, when she had to do a double take. There were two trolls she recognized. Faintly, but she remembered. Avvisi had a thing for faces, recognizing them was her power, to say the least, and she found two faces she was going to make a b-line for. "Excuse me!" Avvisi started, tapping on one of the boy's shoulders. "Kewlin... right?" She said, glad she had connected a name to the face. "And Philip, i think, right?" Avvisi smiled at the two, charmed to meet them already.

"Avvisi! I remember you!" Philip brightened at the sight of a familiar tealblood. He'd been wondering if he'd see her here! A distinguished reporter like her was bound to be around at all the big events like this, right? It was an exciting time to be alive!

"I loved your work on Superstar. Are you conducting more interviews here?" The orangeblood asked, curious to see if he should be looking for her in the newspaper soon. She'd done some video interviews last time but he wasn't sure where to catch her latest work these days. As a detective he supposed he ought to be able to figure it out on his own but it was a lot simpler to just ask the source herself right now. Save himself some leg work. Plus he got the feeling he'd be pretty distracted with the work assigned here coming up. Not to mention he still needed to find where his assistant was.

"What channel should I be tuning into tonight?" The hemoanon boy asked with a conspiratorial wink, acting as though her interviews were already a surefire thing. He'd make Kwelin watch with him if they were!

"I don't mind assisting you but I want to see the footage before you release it to the public." Kwelin was wary of Avvisi's enthusiasm chasing down a scoop. She was right in the prediction that things were sure to go wrong at some point during this mission but... he wanted to make sure she didn't run her mouth making bad accusations without solid evidence to back up her claims. Sensationalism journalism was frustrating to deal with at times. He could tell Philip was enjoying this though. The detective always loved a thrilling adventure no matter how problematic it may be.

"I don't know how many shady trolls you'll be able to find. But there will undoubtedly be thefts and mismanaged resources for certain." It was alarming that trolls would resort to stealing from a launch site when it could result in equipment failure and widespread danger if these sites weren't perfect. But Kwelin knew that there were desperate trolls out there trying to get their hands on resources in order to pawn a quick beetle to survive. He had yet to see the black markets of Alternia in action but someday he was certain he would. It was only a matter of time before he needed information. All in a night's work for a lawyer, he supposed.

"What do you think, Philip?" He looked to his companion with a raised eyebrow. Although the orangeblood had a tendency to get distracted or carried away, Kwelin grudgingly had to admit he was good at investigating and uncovering hidden details. But Kwelin didn't know whether or not to volunteer the other boy to help as he had mentioned trying to connect with Tzofia again. The purpleblood was probably around here somewhere but with so many trolls, it was hard to pick anyone out of a crowd.

"Have you noticed anything unusual yet?" It was pretty unlikely seeing as they had barely arrived and gotten settled but the possibility was always there, even if small. Philip had a good set of eyes on him, both his own and those of his practically invisible lusus. That fly would be a great asset in looking for sketchy behavior if it could manage to dodge the dangerous construction about to take place.
