Welcome to Gaia! ::

Will DeScythe's reflection smiled back at him from the mirror as Will put down his comb and winked. Ruffled blonde hair erupted from his head, clashing with his usual kempt hair and the purpose of using a comb.

The international musician had a day off today and had no intention of dressing formally. No telling how many people knew his face anyhow since he had toured often. However, he had a small advantage even if they recognized his appearance. Not everyone knew he was a mutant, and he had not gone out of his way to say he was since his mutation was not obvious.

The staff had arrived late last night in Harbor City to the hotel, so everyone had today off. Not everyone had agreed with coming to Harbor City once they had heard of the Tess incident, and even before, some of the humans were wary. Nevertheless, Harbor City had been included on the venue due to interest and politics. Will was curious as to how the city was doing, and he had heard that some of his classmates were living there.

Will sighed and headed out of his room. As he entered the elevator, he heard his manager call, "Don't be too reckless, Will! You still have a performance later this week!"

Will laughed in response as he shouted from inside the elevator, "You need to chill. I'll see you later!" He would check out the parks first, the musician thought, as he started walking around the streets with a map in his bag.

Logan arrived at the Museum only ten minutes early, his detour proving to have been faster, even if it was a detour. He parked in the parking lot of the museum and got out, locking the vehicle as he headed for the building. Some police were hanging around, mainly crowd control, and after showing them his pin, he was led to where Hulliame was.

"Anything of interest?" Logan asked, the pain killers having kicked in only a minute or two after he took them. His headache was completely gone. Some of his nervousness for the night had kicked in again, and it showed by his frazzled hair, but he was in business mode and that meant he had to keep control. "I had nothing else to do in the office, so I kind of headed over here as soon as I got your message."

"Well you remember the scientist who spoke at that conferance, Nicola Erwen? Well she's lying naked in a pool of her own blood upstairs. I need you to take a few feels of the room and see what happened. Their CCTV went out earlier today in the hall so theres not much else we can use to find out." He said, leading Logan upstairs. He wasnt expecting to see him until tomorrow during Taskforce Briefing for the week. He noticed he seemed a little nervous.
"So, anything you want to talk about?" They hadnt been too close to start with but had gotten to know each other. As the current leader of the Harbour taskforce he was aware of the general relationships of members.

Thinking about it, he looked around the trashed room.
"Take a look at the flower badge and the homo sapiens exhibit." He said, gesturing at the remains of the exhibit.
"And also good luck." he mentioned when he had processed the news. He thought again about Aki. With this he'd probably make it up to his apartment in the building and shower in time to take her to the japanese restaraunt he had booked a table at. Huilliame sighed at the thought of what she'd do to him if he was late. He remembered when he had forgot to pick her up from judo class.... he had a scar from it.
"Anyway I'm guessing this is something to do with Deceit. It's got all their hallmarks. But this woman... it looks like she was savaged by some kind of animal."

Marie hummed as she painted. There was music pumping through a small stereo humorously placed on top of tangled wiring that lead to the speakers half ways installed into the wall of the soon-to-be dance studio. The only wall in the room that wasn't bay windows or the two mirrors walls was in the works of becoming a soft yellow. Marie choose the color because yellow has been proven to enhance memory. Or, at least she heard that sometime in college while taking general psychology.

The tall woman painted enthusiastically with the beat of some local bands demo CD. They were good. Really good.

Marie's hair was in a long braid as she worked. She needed to make sure to get out of the studio early so she could prepare for dinner with Logan tonight. She wasn't sure exactly what to wear and today felt lucky and special, so maybe she would go out and buy a new dress. Marie did have dark brown heels she'd been dying to wear but had no dress that matched.

Finishing the first coat on the wall, Marie hopped off the ladder, to admire her work. Wiping sweat from her forehead she realized the guy that was supposed to repair the air conditioning was over two hours late.

Marie rolled her eyes and laid down on the new dance floor to watch the paint dry for awhile.

"Alright." He said, pacing. He sniffed the air and thought about it. An animal.... The collective conscience of the city would probably have guessed Tess, but he ruled that out already since he was in the Cage, the metahuman prison. He began taking full pictures of the scene and checked the GPS on the backup. Five minutes.
"Also, I hate to kotow any revelries you may have tonight but I need you and Marie in tomorrow at nine. Normally I wouldnt ask, but the months equipment shipments are in and theres a few new rules from admin that we're having to introduce."

"You look rather invigorated today..."

The sarcastic remark interupting the dull whirring hum of the microwave. The sweatshirted girl caught his eye as he was walking by in the hallway, and now he found that he was leaning casually against the doorframe in the kitchen area. He had been wandering around the base, completely disinterested in what had been happening in the ranks of the pure, normally he would have spent the day enjoying Harbor city, but it seemed rather uneventful outside this world as well.

"No, we've done enough. The police and techs'll be here soon. " He said, thinking about what Logans analysis of the sash. He lead him out and went downstairs. The police had arrived and he had the relevant recordings stored at HQ archives. Now he had to go hand in paperwork and then he he could get home. Which meant the trip to the cinema was back on.
