It was just a little disheartening to find out that Trinity was just as prone to slipping up as anyone else... But Trista kept that thought to herself.
"I'd rather just not get caught... Personally..." she shared instead. And then Trista asked, "Ah. How should we dispose of them, though? We can't just hide them, or toss them into the lake."

“If only you could see me shrugging…” After a sigh, they continue. “That’s up to you. I think usually they burn these types of things, but I mean, you could definitely throw it in the lake. It doesn’t really matter what you do with it is what I’m saying.”

“Anyway, that’s about all the time I’ve got for questions so I hope you got ‘em all in.” The sound of beeping punctuates their statement. “That’s my cue! Tell me when you’re about done with your little task.” They abruptly hang up, leaving the group to talk and formulate a plan by themselves.

As the call hangs up, Vess has a stern expression on her face, staying silent until she's shoved her pokedex back in her pocket. "The ones in heavily trafficked areas are going to have to be our top priority. Those would probably be the pool and the Olmia statue. Moderate priority would be the alley behind the pokecenter and the alley in the residential district to a lesser extent. Lowest priority will be the lake. As urgent as this is, if we all skip class at once, we could risk serious attention from people, especially the teachers, and I'd prefer to prevent teachers from associating us together if possible, will be a problem with future missions if we're identified as a group of troublemakers."
A look of mild annoyance crosses her face as she figures out the best way to do this. "I'm going to skip classes for the rest of the day, fits the box people put me in, so no one will bat an eye. I think splitting into groups of two would be best, so for the sake of a good cover, Zo should probably skip class with me. I doubt people will connect the dots that we're skipping together considering my dislike for Zo. That means Zo and I could head into town and grab the Pokecenter and residential district bags, and," she looks to Trista and Greg, "you two could get the ones in the academy proper, the statue and the swimming pool. We can regroup here after, most likely get the lake one after we've all met up, but we can play that one by ear. That plan sound good to everyone?"

Vess had some really good reasons, so Trista wasn't about to complain about being stuck in class while she and Zo went on ahead... It felt like a bad idea to complain. So with a quick nod, Trista agreed, "No problems here. We'll get them with no trouble, right Greg?"
Although saying that, she turned back to Vess to confirm, "Oh, right. Just in case, if anyone asks us, we haven't seen you since you left class, yeah?"

Zo thinks for a moment on Vess's plan, considering their options. I'd rather not have to skip classes, but that's probably our best shot here, and Vess is right, the chances of anyone connecting us two together are slim.. Minds made up, he nods. "It's probably our best bet, yeah. No sense in all of us getting in trouble at the same time, this way we'll also still have some people free to move in case we're found out and are stuck in detention. It's probably not too likely that something new will popup form Trinity soon, but we can't really be certain on that, obviously..."

Vess nods at Trista's question. "If anyone asks about us, haven't seen us. If you're a bad liar and they see through you, admit that you saw one of us walking towards town, it's close enough to the truth. Just use common sense and let the least amount of info you can slip while avoiding drawing immediate attention. Some of us getting in trouble later is fine if it prevents getting caught with a bag now."
Vess walks towards the door. "Time's wasting, let's move if there's nothing else immediate."

Ultimately, the group decides to split up with Vess going to the PokeCenter, Zo going to the residential area, and Greg and Trista heading back to the school. Vess:After making her way back to the town, Vess is easily able to find her way to the PokeCenter. The building looks the same as it always does from the outside, or at least it does from the front, anyway. It doesn’t look that busy, which makes sense seeing as the majority of its clients are currently in classes. In fact, the streets are pretty barren as well, leaving Vess in relative solitude to complete her mission. From here, you can poke around the front more, go inside, or go to the back. If you stay outside, please roll Perception or Intuition. Zo:While getting to the residential district of Olmia is a bit harder than getting to the PokeCenter, it doesn’t take too long for Zo to get there. The residential area is mostly made up of older, historic houses. On the edges of the streets there are newer, more modern houses that mark where the district has expanded over the years. Olmia was a simple small town with only a few hundred residents for years, but Olmia Academy brought a lot more people to town. This has made the area a bit more packed together. The newer houses near the only apartment building are quite obviously missing the small yards and driveways the older buildings have. Instead, there are only little alleys between the buildings. Despite them all having the trappings of life, everything seems pretty lifeless at the moment, making it the perfect time for Zo to snoop around. There’s about six alleys in front of you that’ll lead you onto the road behind you, or you could walk behind yourself. There’s four streets in total, but the first one is the only one with the little alleys. If you go into any of the alleys, roll Perception or Intuition.

Greg somehow managed to pay attention when Vess was giving out the plan, stretching out his arms as he replied. "Sounds a-okay by me. Stature and pool after school, just got to play it cool, heh." Greg seemed surprisingly alright with the whole dead-drop thing, considering they were probably picking up items that were least than legal. The boy was just hoping whatever they were retrieving wasn't too weird/bad.
After confirming the plan, Greg headed off to class with Trista.

Zo observes the streets before him for a moment, before nodding decisively and walking over to the nearest alley. Once there, he releases Dorothy, kneeling down in front of the Patrat after he has done so. "Dorothy, I need your help. I'm trying to find something in this alley. Could you help me find something out of place here? Maybe something like a bag or case?"That said, he starts looking around himself.

Vess arrives at the pokecenter, attempting to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Liaison said the bag was around back, so that's where she went first, looping around the back of the pokecenter and looking for a mildly conspicuous black bag. Perception with AP: 8wz1fRJc3d6+13d6+1

"...heh, right." Trista agreed, not that she was sure what was right, exactly.
As they set off to class and cover, she asked, "Hey, think we should swing by the statue on the way? You know, to scope it out and stuff?"

Zo:
While Zo doesn’t see anything out of place except some trash, Dorothy seems to pick up on something he doesn’t. After being released, the rodent immediately starts pacing around, but after Zo’s instructions, it becomes a bit less random. A moment or two later, she starts making her way back towards the end of the alley. Before fully exiting, she turns back to Zo with an excited look in her eyes.
Vess:
The first thing that Vess sees around the back of the building is a gigantic black dumpster. Nothing about it looks odd or suspicious, it just happens to be one of the only things behind the building. A bunch of pallets and boxes are piled up towards the side of the dumpster as well, but them seem quite unremarkable. A small, shiny, silver trash can sits by the back door, and for some reason, it catches Vess’s eye. Perhaps its because it looks a bit out of place...

Zo smiles brightly, before following the Patrat. "Wonderful job, Dorothy!"

Vess sighs as she sees the alley full of waste disposal. The shinier can interested her though, why keep it out here if the dumpster was a little ways away? Still, it could also just be for something like medical waste, but...
She walks up to the shiny, small trash can, taking a look around to make sure no one is watching and also to make sure she isn't going to accidentally stick her hand into a bunch of used needles, before she opens up the lid and looks inside.

Zo:
Dorothy leads Zo to the fourth alley where she sits happily next to a dirty sleeping bag and pillow. Luckily, the makeshift bedding is currently unoccupied. Unluckily, it doesn’t look like there’s a black bag anywhere in the alley. The only bags are clear and plastic, but its hard to tell what’s inside of them from here.
Vess:
While its hard to see, Vess is pretty sure there isn’t any needles in the trash. She is quite positive that there is a black trashbag inside the trash. Strangely enough, the bag is tied up as if it was ready to be thrown in the dumpster.

Zo frowns slightly at the sight in front of him, looking around in confusion before sighing. "Of course it wasn't going to be that easy..." he mutters as he takes a quick look around to make sure no one is near, before rummaging around the sleeping spot, hoping to find the drop hidden somewhere under there.

Greg continued walking as he talked, shrugging in response to Trista's question. "Ayy, that's a good idea! Do a little re-con-nais-sance. I doubt a lil detour would make us late for class, anyhow." The boy said as he started heading off in the direction of the aforementioned statue, hoping not to get loss (or to just follow Trista there).

Zo:After a bit of rummaging, Zo eventually finds what he’s looking for. In this case, the black bag happens to be a small camera bag. It seems to be quite clean, unlike everything else in the small sleeping spot. Among the bottles filled with various fluids he’d rather not think about, he’s able to find an unopened can of Super Soda Pop! Greg & Trista:
The statue of Olmia looks about how it always does. The woman hasn’t been demolished and replaced with a black bag overnight. The two benches facing the statue are covered in snow, showing no-one has sat there for a long time. To be fair, almost everything is covered in snow, making it a bit hard to find much of anything. To look for a bag, roll Perception. You guys can still get to class after rolling. However, if you don’t find it and you want to keep looking, I’ll let you take 10 to find it, but you’ll miss class.

Pocketing the soda he'd found, not feeling particularly remorseful after having to dig around the dingy bedding, and stuffs the camera case in his bag, planning on seeing what's inside when he's alone. Petting Dorothy on the head, he smiles at her. "Wonderful job, Dorothy, you've saved me a lot of time here. Go rest for now." With that, he returns her to her ball, before standing back up.
Casually meandering away from the alleys, he takes out his Dex and sends the others a quick message.
Found it. Heading to forest now.
He then proceeds to do just that, casually heading over to the forest and the lake.
