Welcome to Gaia! ::

To Paris

I think your mom is going through menopause. Be there soon. Got stuck in line.

While Rhiannon doubted she would be much company at dinner, she still didn’t mind texting her cousin to at least give her an update on where they were and that they were on their way. Other than that, there wasn’t much else she could do besides sit and wait.

A hand touched her shoulder and Rhiannon looked up from her phone to glance back at the woman in question. Open the window? She looked like she was nervous for some reason. Rhiannon shook her head to show she didn’t mind, but the problem was… “I don’t think they open.”

Still, something about this woman was… off… maybe it really was just her not being good with closed spaces, but…

Lorne wondered if it was just his imagination, or did he feel someone's eyes on him?

With a light shudder, he looked up from his book and allowed his eyes to keep across the car, taking notice of a man walking through the crowds and dispensing touches as he went to seemingly approach his boyfriend. Was that his boyfriend? - well, he seemed to know the other man, anyway.

Weird.

He pursed his lips and tried to focus back on his book. Not before trying to edge a little closer to a wall, though. Not that he thought anyone really was looking, but just in case.

Capt. Miasmite Stealth: 113

What are those idiots over there doing?

Some idiot Lieutenant was going around and getting a tad too close to people (and not in a Negaverse business sort of way), and some Captain was... encouraging him? Maybe? It might have been part of the cover, but Miasmite found it just plain stupid. Now was not the time for goofing around and trying to handle the goods. He shot both of them a steely glare, hoping they'd get the message, especially that Lieutenant. Miasmite was a Captain, after all. That Lieutenant had to listen to him.

Sighing heavily, he looked at the de-seeded girl next to him and decided to move a bit further back. He passed by the Lieutenant and Captain he had been seething about, hoping to produce that teeny little draft that happened when someone passed too close. An older man looking out the window would be his next target, and he slipped the starseed out of the human shell with aplomb.

Rhiannon stared at the woman as she looked back to the windows and explained why she thought they opened. In all honesty, Rhiannon had never tried opening the windows before, so who knew if they actually did. The strange thing, though… was that jingle… She hadn’t seen any bangles or jewelry that might have made that noise…

And why was she so nervous? Or maybe it was her imagination as she watched just long enough for the woman to sit back down, and for her to turn back around in her seat.

“Auntie,” she said quietly to try and get Marissa’s attention. Either Rhiannon was being paranoid because she already didn’t trust people… or she had every reason to slowly reach into her purse to grip her hand around her henshin pen.

Marissa rolled her eyes when the groper seemed to be groping his boyfriend. She didn't approve of overt PDA. Besides, she was fairly sure she'd seen the groper pinching over people on his way over to said boyfriend. That was out of line, and she stared at him long enough for them both to get the hint that she was entirely unimpressed by their behavior.

All too soon, however, her attention shifted away. She heard Rhiannon's voice calling her and she turned to her niece in mild confusion. Was it her, or did Rhiannon sound uncomfortable?

“What is it?” she asked, glancing around the immediate area to try and find the cause of Rhiannon's discomfort. She really hoped there weren't any other gropers in the vicinity.

Captain Ashanite: 113 stealth

Ashanite laughed, and let go of Devilline's hand. "I appreciate you playing distraction," he said, and then he leaned over, quickly, sinking his hand into the chest of another unfortunate napper. That made three, and he slid it carefully into the case. If he was lucky, this would be a very productive afternoon.

For, you know, both slaughtering innocent subway riders and possibly picking up this very charming Lieutenant. Neither of these things felt like they were going to be all that difficult.

Captain Ashanite: 109 stealth

This time, when Ashanite went for a target, he was less careful than he had been so far. This one was awake, and actually made a small noise of surprise when Ashanite took her starseed. He felt a brief twinge of guilt - he knew exactly what she had felt. But there would be no hero to wake her up, not if he could help it.

It was too bad, really, but her starseed would be put to good use.
