[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

I sigh and massage my temples. "What the hell are we going to do? Jade's murderer is on the loose."

((Not exaaaactly~ ))

"I... I don't... know... can Gio help find out where he went? I mean, where Jean's dad's base of operations is? I'm not sure if that's in his skillset, but even if it's not, we could have him hack Mitch's stuff and look for clues?"

 

[Beary]

( YAS
HIS GIRL IS WAITING FOR HIM )

 

[Naiad]

(( YA'LL GOTTA HELP ME HERE
WHAT'S THE COVERUP FOR GIO?? ))

I nod. "I'll call him." I take out my phone and dial Gio's number.

"Yellow?"

"Gio, we, uh, need to find someone."

"Who?"

"A guy by the name of Cygnus. He works for Jean's father."

"I'm on it."

I turn on my laptop and begin typing. I squint as I read the text.
"Did your Cygnus kill someone?"

"Yeah..."

"Found him."

 

[Beary]

( Coverup? )

 

[Naiad]

(( he can't exactly just quit college and write an elopement note :T
no one would believe it ))

 

[Beary]

( - His grandma died and he needs to take over her business
- His 'girlfriend' needs him
- His mum is making him quit

IDFK )

 

[Naiad]

((- Gio and Sai did the whole 'we have no family but each other' thing
- Gio had a boyfriend whom he is currently broken up with
- Gio gave a big FU to his mom earlier for not accepting his choices

Can't we just fake another death? ))

 

[Beary]

( wynaut? Sai would be crushed, though.. )

 

[Naiad]

(( and then she'll need Blaze ))

 

[Beary]

( ohohoho, I seeee.. )

 

[Naiad]

(( this is how we want Gio's death to impact Sai and Blaze but tbh we all know it's not going to work out this way ))

 

[Beary]

( YAAAAS. *cackles evily* )

But if we pledge to never fall
we will never stand up
never fight
never see anything but darkness

 

[Naiad]

"He's at his boss' office. They're um.... busy..."

"Thanks Gio, bye."

"Bye."

- - - Post Merge - - -

(( watch sai be crying alone like this bc BLAZE IS BAD AT COMFoRtiNG asdfghjkl; ))

- - - Post Merge - - -

I glance at Helix after the call ends. "They're at Mitch's office."

 

[Beary]

When the walls close around me,
leave me, save yourself
I don't want to be alone
but if you stay alive, I don't care

 

[toxapex]

((Guys, if Gio fakes his death be prepared for Helix to go insane because everyone he's vaguely associated with recently is dying. XD))

- - - Post Merge - - -

"Alright... do we know where that office is...?" I ask incredulously.

- - - Post Merge - - -

((omg, what if everyone in the group was brought to the HQ one by one and Helix gets unhinged bc they all fake their deaths (except Jade <.<) and he's the last one to be brought? XD))

 

[Naiad]

"...Maybe?"

- - - Post Merge - - -

(( oh lord xD
expect sai to demand that blaze come with her if she's brought in))

 

[toxapex]

((WOW It's 12:01 and I refreshed... never seen TBT with Autumn scenery before, heh))

"So that's a no...? Maybe we could get Carmen to track the scent of this... er... 'musky' basement. Gio's got some B.O., jeez..."

((Oh hey, that rhymed! I think... idk how to pronounce Sai and Gio's names, so I've just been saying 'sigh' and 'Jee-oh'. Is that right?))

 

[Naiad]

(( yup ))

"Maybe. We could probably find his headquarters through Googling, but getting inside is probably going to be another matter."

 

[toxapex]

"Yeah. We should get a couple more people together before we go in there. Especially Blaze, because there's always a chance somebody won't know he left yet."

 

[Naiad]

"Yeah..." I bite my lip. "But what if Blaze gets hurt again? I- I don't think I could handle that..."
