(Setting) Le Lune du Espirit

|
| >A young man, about 17 years old, walks in wearing a red jacket over a *Kira* Miki shirt.
"Um, hello? Does this place serve non-alcoholic drinks?"
| >A tall, young soon walks in after the other man
"Well, certainly wasn't expecting this..."
| >A youngish looking girl enters the bar, wearing a large white coat with the letters A-20 on the back, along with a smaller girl wearing a similar coat and a plugsuit with A-9 written on it.
>The older looking girl, A-20 sees CN and heads towards him
"Nice to see you again CN, lets have a seat first"
>Her 'voice' seems a bit tired
| >A girl walks up to the group
"Welcome! are you all in a group?
>>175167
"Of course we do! would you like a table or a seat at the bar?"
| >>175173 The boy in the *Kira* Miki shirt speaks up
"uh, I'm alone. I'll take a table, please"
>He looks curiously at the girls that entered after him
| >>175175
>The girl in the white coat nods
"A table for the three of us if you please"
>The younger A-9 seems to inspect CN from top to bottom, a scowl on her face
| >The girl leads them to their tables, a cat tail bobbing from under her skirt. She returns to the front desk, and the groups find themselves with their own catgirl, Asking what seems to be standard policy
"Would you like food, a drink or.
. Me?"
| >>175199
"Understandable, today has been quite the day for us too, especially Nine here"
>The voice answers
>>175200
>The small A-9 smiles and mumbles
"T-Template line Kita"
>She says in a bell like voice, seems like not all of them use that weird way of speech
| >The other boy takes a seat at his nearby table and sits quietly, seemingly nervous about something
| >>175202
>The older girl sighs and facepalms
"Dont mind her, she's been having a rough day"
>A-9 just turns around and glares at A-20
| >>175211
>The blondgirl nods
"Understood, so that'll be a coffee and..?"
>>175210
>The other boy's server, a brunette speaks quietly
"So uhm... are you going to like... ask for anything?"
| >>175209
"I guess she could be considered something like that, though her real sister is Alpha-10, who is busy at the moment"
>A-20 answers before turning to the waitress
"A fringe weaver, if you dont mind"
>A-9 sits down and almost instantly lays her head on the table
"Coffee, lots of sugar"
| >>175220
>A-20 takes off her coat and starts speaking again
"There are 35 of us, but most are not active or concerned by Glitch City, we only have have three agents in here and one support"
>She looks at CN dead in the eyes
"Now to get to the point..."
| >The blond girl returns, with their drinks
| >>175213
>the boy jumps a bit, startled
"Oh, uh... sorry. Can I just get a copepsi for now, please?"
| >>175230
>A-20 nods
"Its about something we found, I'm sure you're familiar with it"
>She nudges A-9 who gets out a picture, and slides it on the table.
>The picture shows a terminal, not quite as old as the IBM but ancient nonetheless, its seems connected to some weird servers and devices, and an old rotation Phone, with the receiver taped to a microphone. The setup is bizzare...
"You do have an idea what this could be, yes?"
| >>175237
"Hmm... Well I don't recognize the specific model but most of this stuff is pretty old. That being said, given the setup, this seems like that second terminal that showed up online."
| >>175244
>A-20 takes a sip of her drink
"Indeed, and we have confirmed it is, it was even connected to the matrix recently, but by who is still a mystery. We also have discovered five liters of mixed blood along with several ciphers and notes, most of which are an unreadable mess"
>She sighs
"But the trouble starts with what we found afterward... You are a decker with experience are you not?"
| >>175250
(Sorry was taking a midterm)
"Well I don't like to toot my own horn but I think I'm pretty experienced. Do you need me to crack something or decipher something then?"
| >A-20 points to A-9
"Our very own decker actually tried that, but it seems it was a little more complex than she thought"
>A-9 lifts up her coat, and you can see bandages strewn across most of her body
"Seems like some kind of system, much like Black ICE, but way more vicious. Its protecting some data we would like to access, something about a project related to those terminals and that game they run. The only issue is this-"
>A-20 continues
| "We require two people to access it, at the same time"
>A-9 Completes
"T-the reasoning behind it is unknown, nor how it works"
| >>175331
"Jeez worse than Black ICE huh... Well I think I can help, if it's two of us then that works even better then. When do you want to do it?"
| >A-9 strikes a thumbs up
"An-anytime is fine ze~"
>A-20 just sighs
"Depends on how much time you have or if you're doing something. But now would be the better time, we would just need to go to where the terminal is and get that started, as for the pay, ICHIKA will give you anything you ask for when this is done"
| >A-20 nods
"Yes, we are, we are trying to do this before our enemies figure out where the terminal is and send it out of town, or worse destroy it. The problem is, the longer the terminal is active, the easier it is for them to track us"
>she downs her fringe weaver, and gets up
"I'll brief you there, Nine, lets go"
>A-9 gets up too, a grimace on her face
"Aye Aye sis"
| >>175404
>CN finishes his coffee and leads a credstick for the drinks with a tip.
"Well let's hurry then. The last thing we need is another disaster in GC."
| >A-20 grins
"So do we, chaos is undiserable"
>She leaves a credstick too
"And Im eager to close this case for good, this has lasted far too long"
| (I'll open up a setting thread soon)
| >>175427
"Well hopefully things work out well then. I can't say I understand all the circumstances surrounding this, but once this is over maybe you can relax for a bit, you deserve it. Plus I feel bad that I've learned so little about you so far." (Okay)

| >Located well, somewhere. is a seemingly normal bar on the outside.
On the Inside however, is a French style cafe brightly lit and with a few tables. 4 or 5 girls in catmaid outfits can be seen working, along with a consciously muscular man standing behind the bar in the same outfit, albeit with the sleeves torn off.
A sign hangs over the entrance "Now hiring".
