Once Lily had gotten off the phone and come back nearer to them, Gumnisa gestured toward the device on her friend's wrist. "Wanna fill me in on what that was about?"

Taylor's jaunt around the Second District wasn't entirely a waste of time - on his way back he asked some friends who regularly walked the streets in the area and some of the local authority figures if they'd heard anything about a gang of kids hanging around the docks. He'd gotten no concrete info yet, but a few folk promised to call him if they heard or remembered anything. And by the time he was back at the office, Taylor had been gifted two kinds of bread, a bag of fresh tomatoes, a wheel of cheese and an entire ham, enough for the whole Agency to make sandwiches for lunch. Fortunately the one thing the fridge never seemed to run empty on was condiments, somehow.

"I'm- or Artemis is watching Princess," Chris said of the Tranquill, who had perched on the roof of the building where the Skitty had been left. "The kids left her behind on the porch of a house. Do you think we should go get her?" That seemed like the right thing to do. Chris felt bad about separating her from the kids though.

Misha looks up surprised at that news, before nodding. "Probably best yeah. The kids probably meant for us to come pick her up, make sure we were being honest or something. 'sides, can't exactly leave her there, she'll just end up lost again. Where to?"

"This way, I think," Chris said, leading Misha to where Artemis kept watch.
On arriving, Chris stopped some distance from the Skitty, hoping not to scare her away. "Hey, Princess," she said sweetly. "Is everything alright? We're here to take you home." As she spoke, she also reached out with her mind, connecting with Princess to share her intentions.
10 for Mystic Senses, and assuming Princess isn't hostile, she is now Channeled.

"Let's just say that Christie and Misha stumbled across something much bigger than a missing cat. I'll fill you in on the rest of the details after we get back." Lily said, not wanting to talk about it in front of Selina.

"Let's just say that Christie and Misha found something much bigger than a lost cat. I'll fill you in on the rest after we take care of this, alright?" Lily said, not wanting to go into detail in front of Selina.

The cat mewls sadly, since the people who had just left had taken it in when the storm had gotten bad. And it doesn't understand what was wrong. Did Princess do bad?

Gumnisa raised an eyebrow at Lily's words, but she knew well enough not to press the issue. Whatever it was though, she was curious.
"Gotcha, let's head out, if you'll be so kind as to lead the way Miss Selina. Wichu, stay close please dear."
As luck would have it, Taylor got back just as they were about to leave. Seeing the bags he brought with him and Taylor's 'luck' finding food, she had a good idea of what was in them.
"Whatever you got there, lunch is on you Kumu," she said with a grin as she exited the building.

Lily nods, placing a hand on one of her great balls. "Shall we go...pick up our latest addition to the agency?"

Chris cautiously approached Princess, attempting not to scare the Skitty away. Her heart broke from the emotions she received from their link. "No, it's okay, Princess," she said, echoing the words with mental impressions. "They just left you here so we could come pick you up and take you home. Doesn't that sound nice?" Chris stretched a hand out for the cat to sniff, in case her words and feelings weren't enough to gain her trust.

"As you wish," Taylor said grandly, making a mock bow to Nisa and grinning as he let himself fall backward against the banister. "A feast fit for queens upon your return." Since it looked like everyone else was out for a bit, Tayloy stuck around and made himself busy prepping half a dozen sandwiches. Chowing down on two of them in rapid succession and letting Bandit make a mess of a spare tomato, he let himself relax for a bit. Despite the foul weather, the day was looking up so far. Taylor was in a nostalgic mood; honestly, he was going to miss hanging out at the office and bugging the girls, if it came down to it. He already missed the time he used to spend with Gramps here. But if the next couple days were like today, maybe the Agency had a chance at pulling off a miracle after all. He wasn't crossing his fingers yet, though.

The Skitty mewls jumps towards Christie, expecting to be cradled in her arms.
Silena is waiting by the door for you to finish up your call.

As Chris is doing her weird mindmeld thing with the Skitty, Misha is keeping her eye out on the surrounding area, looking out for anything out of the ordinary or suspicious.

She laughs at rolls her eyes at Taylor's words, turning back to the door. Just as she opens it, she remembers she's forgetting three very important things. Running upstairs and into her room, there is a bit of a commotion as she gathers herself before returning to the two women waiting on her.
Slung over her shoulder is now the strap what looks to be a collapsed rifle, which anyone knowledgable on the subject would identify as being used to propel Pokeballs at greater distance, velocity, and accuracy. It was literally her favorite possession. Under the rifle was a travel bag slung over her back. She reached into the pocket of her shorts, pulling out her weapons permit with a rueful smile.
"Don't wanna be caught without this again," she said with a laugh as she replaced it in her pocket.
Gumnisa was the picture of what one would assume to be a young, female, urban acrobat. She wore a plain red tank top and black leggings. Over her top was a red wrap that she'd taken for the day's cooler weather, and over her leggings were a pair of mid-thigh red shorts with a black Pokéball symbol on the left side. On her feet were brown leather ballet sneakers with straps up her calves, showing her similar-length black socks. Her entire forearm down to her hands were covered by a pair of gloves of material and colour similar to her shoes, which protected the palms and backs of her hands but left her fingers naked and free to move.
She unslung the rifle from her shoulder, assembling it into its active state before reaching into her bag and pulling free a Friend Ball. She loaded it into the rifle, and then held it up to her friend.
"Seems like you want this thing, I have no interest in it. But if we're gonna go after it we'll need our best chance at catching it quick and without too much incident. The Friend Ball should make it less aggressive towards you after capture as well."

Lily smiled and nodded. "What would I do without you, Nisa?" Lily took hold of the rifle.

Gumnisa grinned at her roommate. "Die." She then opened the door, walking out of it and holding it open for the two other women. "Let's go catch a Mightyena."

Lily nodded again. "Let's." She walked out the door and looked to Selina, waiting for her to take the lead.

Selina leads the two women to a street in the fifth district. The travel time is close to two hours, more than partly because the girl gets lost more than once. It isn't a back alley just waiting for an ambush, but it isn't a main street either. The neighborhood is closer to residential than completely urban, though the large warehouse buildings and truck yards are still visible in the distance.
"This is where it attacked me," she tells you seriously. "But I'm not completely sure if it's normally here or if it roams."

Lily walks over to the scrub and picks up the patch of fur. "Hmmmm...A Tracker would be great right about now..."
