Misha sighs, shaking her head. "Chris, we're private eyes. We're not some intelligence agency. No one is going undercover here. We're not trained spies, we can barely make rent, let alone afford any equipment. We should go do some research, see what we can find online, maybe talk to some dockworkers, try to locate the street rats, but that's it."
She nods at Taylor's last remark, choosing to ignore his first few remarks for now. "Yeah, you're right. Don't really think they knew what was up with the place, or they wouldn't have bolted like that and left the place abandoned for us to search, but it'd probably be best to make sure they stay out of trouble... if they're willing to listen to us, that is."

Lily sighed. "I'm with Misha on this one, though I must add "take our findings to the police" to that list. As far as the rent is concerned...I've actually been thinking for a while now that we should save up enough money to buy this building."

Brandy grins at Misha, rolling her eyes.
"That's not nice Misha, what happens if he finds out somehow?"
She turned to Chris, amused at her antics. "So why am I called Chromebee?"
A snort of laughter came from her at Taylor calling himself the Mothim Man.
She listened to the more serious points everyone else had to make, nodding as she listened.
"I agree on this with all of you, it's probably for the best if we not make too many waves but we do need to get that warehouse figured out. We just need to figure out who should go get that Dragon Plate."
At Lily's latest idea she smiled.
"That's...actually a really nice idea Water Lily. It'd be great if we all owned this place. Although I'm sure that will be a fairly expensive venture."

"Oh, um," Christie began the explanation to Brandy's codename, "well, your name's a type of alcohol, right?" Obviously. "Well, Comebees make honey, and honey is used to make mead! ...Which is also a type of alcohol."
At Lily's suggestion, she frowned. "We can't tell the police, Lily!" she informed her. "They'll take the case from us, and then we'll be right back where we started!" She was very used to reporters trying to steal each other's stories, and had no doubt that the police would be no different.

The discussion continued for a couple more hours before the five retreated to bed, their plan set.
The next day was a dreary overcast thing that seemed to be Tornadous laughing as he taunted the city with the possibility of more rain. However, there was a lack of rumble and the rain from yesterday had washed the city of most of its smell. It would probably be back in a day or two if the rain held but that just made the lack of it more noticeable and special.
Two days until rent had to be paid.

Misha had gotten up fairly early, somehow managing to beat the others to the shower. She's currently sitting in the kitchen, a mug of freshly made coffee besides her as she's quietly talking with Gabby, offering only the barest of morning greetings as the others walk in until she's finished with the Vulpix. Applying Focused Training and experience training to Gabby. Gabby gets +1 on AC checks, +2 on Skill Checks and she gains 12 experience.

Lily, who had (at Brandy's insistence) actually slept in her bed for once, was still surprisingly asleep. Her general lack of sleep combined with the dramatic events of yesterday had exhausted her to the point that she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep the moment her head hit her pillow. She was so exhausted that when she went to change clothes for bed, she forgot to do the later half of the process before going to sleep.
This left Angel to use her telekinetic powers to pull up the covers over Lily in order to make up for her Trainer's mistake. As soon as Angel had gotten close to Lily, however, she had been grabbed by Lily in her sleep and hugged to her chest like a teddy bear. Deciding to make the most of it, Angel quickly pulled up the blanket for a good night sleep.

Chris, as usual, had been up later than just about everyone else. She hadn't even had Lily to keep her company for once. In the morning, Misha was greeted by her roommate asleep with her laptop atop her, and a bunch of pictures, notes, and strings taped to the wall competing with her designs. It was all the journalist had been able to find online about the warehouse, organised crime in the area, and homeless children. Unfortunately, she hadn't really found too much.

When Chris woke up, she went through her usual routine, happy to find the bathroom already warm and steamy, and then did so training with Artemis on her surveillance techniques.
Chris applies Xp, and (ironically) Focused Training to Artemis 2d6

Brandy was the last one to wake before Lily, finally having beaten her roommate to waking up in the morning. Once she’d hit the bathroom she headed up to the roof top conduct her morning training with Wichu. The two moved here and there, dodging one another’s strikes with nimble movements and flexibility. After being up and out for an exhausting while the two descended from the roof back into the house so the trainer could shower and the Pokémon could bathe. Brandy dressed herself and then stopped by her best friend’s bed, smiling softly.
She’d known the two of them were tired but the day was probably that much more tiring on Lily than on her. It made her extremely happy to see her snuggling with the ralts. Brandy approached both of them, calling their names to wake them up.
“Water Lily, Angel, it’s time to wake up...!”

Misha nods at Chris when the reporter enters the kitchen. She gestures to the coffeemaker as she takes a sip of her second cup of coffee of the day. "Made coffee," she says simply, before taking a bite from one of the leftover bagels from the day before. "Saw you'd been doing research. Find anything yet?"

Angel yawned and sat up...or well, she tried to. Turns out that Lily's grip on her was a bit too strong for the Ralts to wriggle out of. Speaking of the sleeping beauty, Lily didn't respond at all to Brandy's call, simply continuing to sleep as peacefully as before.

Brandy giggled at her friend's deep sleep, placing her hand on her shoulder and gently shaking her as she called her name again.

"...Five more days please..." Like muttered in her sleep, brushing Brandy's hand away.

Brandy rolled her eyes and tried again, this time using two hands and shaking her a bit rougher.
"Water Lily wake up!"

Lily tries to roll away from Brandy's assault but ends up rolling off the bed and on the floor, where she proceeds to wrap herself and Angel up in the blanket like a cocoon.

Brandy sighs, seeing she's going to have to really go there.
She leaves the room and goes to the bathroom, taking a container and filling it with cold water. Once she's done she comes back into the room and dumps the contents of the container onto her sleeping partner.

While Brandy is filling up the container with water, Lily yawns and opens her eyes. "Hmm...How did I...? Lily, confused upon first waking, finds herself unable to get out of the coccon she wrapped herself in. To make matters worse, just as she's starting to make some headway, someone comes along and dumps water on her, causing the wet blanket to stick to her.
"Oh what the heck?! Who the heck did that?! I was having a hard enough time getting out of here when my covers wasn't wet and clinging to my flesh!"

Brandy just stared at the girl, eyebrow raised.
"I've been trying to wake you up forthe last four minutes."

Misha doesn't really look up or act surprised at the shouting coming from Lily and Brandy's room, simply taking another sip. "Lily's up," she states blandly.

"Well congratulations, you've succeeded...Now if you wouldn't mind, I could use some help getting out of this wet blanket. My pajamas are probably soaked too..." Lily says with a sigh, not remembering or realizing that she never even got around to taking her pajamas out of her drawer last night.
