If I notice two vulnerable children trying to leave the main gate at sunset, caution them that that might be dangerous.
[Speech:1]
You run over to Grate and Lyra as they head for the door and start screaming stock parental advice at them like an after school special played on fast forward and funneled through a bullhorn.

"Make sure to look both ways before you cross the street and don't talk to strangers and here, take your rape whistle and don't follow strange men or show of those delicious delicious thighs of yours because we all know what a sexy little boy you are and I really need to stop talking but I can't it just keeps coming out and I'm conflating lust and fear and thats not gonna end well I'm probably gonna end up getting aroused from horror movies and May's face."

You spend a few seconds gasping.

"So,  You know. Stay safe."

You hand them a condom, mime for them to put it on their head like a helmet, and then go stand in a corner quietly muttering to yourself

Er...yeah that's hard to properly quote, but I love this. I love this SOOOO MUCH. I read IronyOwls previous interactions with children off of Piecewises sig and I love when he/she fails this hard :P Good Job.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

((Anyone else wondering why Faith carries a condom around? I know it was part of the scene's comedical value of making her come up with it from nowhere, but in-game, the reasons would be quite sketchy.))

Hmm. Reasonable of them.

Resume patrol for criminality.
"They're all gone. For now."

Delve deeper into the city, Revolver drawn.

"Well now. That's unusual."

Stacy pirouettes over to the fruit stand, settling near May.

"Did I miss something important, miss? Is anybody dead?"

Follow May for now!
The vice squad and captain dance wander their way deeper into the township, staying vaguely on their preplanned route. The route follows the well worn streets away from small stalls and buildings into a district of large shops, boarding houses, and what you're pretty sure is a brothel. The people here seem less afraid of you; they don't run, at worst they sort of fade into the crowd or casually duck into an alley. For the most part, no one even seems to notice you.

remove the condom from Grate's head, discard it.
Follow Grate

"Learn."

as we pass the gate to the town, stop and Hand whichever HMRC member is at the gate Feyri's uniform. take the time to re-fold it first, to remove the wrinkles from carrying it around with me for all this time.

EDIT2:
As we move, look around to see how much the two of us stand out, and why. what people's reactions to us are, and if anyone else our size is moving about, and what they're doing. look down if anyone tries to make eye contact with me of course.
All three actions remain unchanged.
((Did you mean May's display of power? Faith is the Ironic Owl.))

Message Miss Feyri:
Quote from: Grate to Feyri
Dear Miss Feyri,
I think Miss Faith has gone insane.
Sincerely,
Grate.
Remove condom from head with Lyra's help, discard it. Head into town, looking around to see what it's like.
Even without the condom on your head -how are you gonna stay safe now?!-you draw attention. I mean, you're a pair of midgets, one of you dressed in a police uniform and the other in a space suit. Or maybe both of you are in space suits. Honestly, I kinda lost track of if you paranoids ever put one on. But regardless, you're midgets in strange attire, wandering the streets in the early evening. You look like a performance art piece. People notice.

(( Yeah, I meant 'watch where they go from my post', but whatever :P ))

Back to my post, resume observation program
You return to the hill and continue watching. It's boring but so far, its safe as well. The irony of guard duty, you realize, is that when it's going well, the guard is useless.

Charles tries to figure out where the messenger is.
[int:3]
Uh...maybe faith knows where he is? You're not entirely sure.


((I think the people will attack because of the HRMC team))

Keep reading and watching the gate.

The next chapter talks more about the difficulty of cleanly disposing of a body; wryly commenting that most people put up more fight as a corpse then as a person. Removing identity depends on the place. Some planets are still small and unadvanced enough that the age old trick of taking off the head and the hands works. As soon as DNA comes into the picture, you're in a bind. Either you get rid of the whole body- incinerators work best; especially if they're industrial ones connected to some sort of waste processing. If you've got connections you can get them dumped in space, or access to synthetic microbes that specifically target and eat up human cells. Best cleanup you can buy, but you need a level 3 hazmat suit or you'll end up as soup with them.

((SPEECH ROOOOOOOOLLS!))

Examine that briefcase next to that one game.
You walk over to the briefcase next to the polybius game and pick it up. It's fairly heavy and when you open it up you discover that it's full of mice. One of them is wearing a little collar with the name "Reginald" on it. Hmm...wonder what thats about.

Make special note of anyone our size, what they're wearing, and what they're doing.
((important part of my action from last time that wasn't commented on.))
once I've seen what I came to see, tug gently on Grate's right elbow.
"Back?"
Continue to follow Grate
