[The minute they all get off, the first thing Smoker does is start looking for tracks. Of course with everyone from Discedo and Dissimulo running about, the tracks are pretty quickly distorted, so he heads a lot further, hunting for monster tracks or better signs of populous. If Tashigi is really kidnapped, she'll be at some sort of prison, which means figuring out what he'll have to fight and securing an exit route first.

Perhaps surprisingly to anyone who doesn't know him, he almost instantly finds his way to the police station. Little good that does him.

By nightfall his ears are going crazy though. He's always had sensitive hearing to begin with, his specifically hearing haki is not helping that and hearing little kids calling for his help and not being able to find them? Yeah, that's not going to take long to start driving him nuts.]

[By the time night fell, Washu was getting frustrated with the lack of results. So far everything she had managed to uncover had brought up more questions then answers!

Though she was certain of one thing by now, Tenchi and Sasami were not here. But, what happened here? Washu was hoping the police station might hold some answers.]

[justicereigns]

[Smoker came back to rummage for case files, clues, something, but barring that, he's borrowing paper and making his own. Looks like the zoo animals are going wild, but with all the people gone that's to be expected.

His ears twitch at Little Washu's approach, a hand going for the jitte before he sees the pink hair and grunts.]

Find anything?

[crabbygenius]

Other than a lack of human life signs or Tenchi and Sasami's energy signatures? Not a damned thing other than the graffiti.

[She sighed and moved to look at some of the case files he's discarded.]

Please tell me you've found something in here at least?

[justicereigns]

Tsk. Nothing useful. [He holds up a pair of red rimmed extremely thick glasses however.]

Tashigi has glasses like this. Damned woman's always forgetting to wear them too... [He shakes his head.] No other signs of her though, just the same chaos and jumping at shadows.

[crabbygenius]

At least you found something of your friends. We haven't seen any indication of ours.

[She goes back to glancing through papers to see if she can spot anything he might have missed.]

This is probably a giant trap you know.

[justicereigns]

I know.

But I've sprung traps before.

It's not a risk I'm willing to take either. That it's a trap with her as bait.

[crabbygenius]

I agree. The ones that set this trap will get the full brunt of my anger if its a trap with them as bait.

[She smiles pleasantly though there is definitely a hint of a threat in her voice. Pissing off a mad scientist of her calibrator is never a good idea~.]

But, unless they can dampen Juraian genetics, I think its safe to say they aren't here. So that leave the question of 'Why bring us here'?

[justicereigns]

Genetics?

[Ears flick. How does one dampen genetics? How does one even follow genetics outside of lineage?]

Hn. That's the real question. It seems a lot of work just to get us to the city to kill us. And if that's their plan; where are "they"?

[crabbygenius]

Yes, genetics. I've already scanned the entire city for both their power signatures and their genetic patters among the populace along with astro patterns and dimensional signals. You'd be surprise how much one person gives off as an identifying marker.

And either Tenchi or Sasami are here.

[She pauses for a moment before answering his next question.]

Not a clue but I don't think they want to kill us. They would have done it already.

[justicereigns]

Wow. That's better than haki.

[A grunt.] Agreed, but the question is why they haven't even shown themselves.

[crabbygenius]

Oh~? What's haki?

Either they fear whatever did this more than we know, or it got them. At least, those are my two current theories.

[justicereigns]

Spiritual pressure. More or less. Enough of it lets you hear the true heart of things.

Hn... Neither of those are good things.

[ Terezi only goes out at night, since that seems when most of the ghost activity begins. She's had no luck with searching the homes (only shattered 8 balls everywhere, which is too unsettling to be a coincidence), and while the graffiti shed some light on the location, Terezi's convinced her best bet are the ghosts.

The library is near the police station, so whenever Smoker walks by it, Terezi will pop her head out from one of the windows and call to him. ]

Hey, you got a minute?

[justicereigns]

[At first Smoker thinks he's just still hearing things, but it doesn't sound so desperate as the others. He stops and flicks his ears before looks over.]

Sure, did you find anything?

[legality]

Dunno yet. I think there's a ghost right behind me, though. If I turn around to get a better sniff, it's going to vanish. [ When she pauses, her tongue pops out of her mouth, tasting the air. Definitely some sort of barely there taste. She can hear it sobbing, too. ]

Think you can come in through the door and get a look for me?

[justicereigns]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I keep hearing things. It's driving my ears nuts.

All right, I'll come look, but I think we might be stuck even then.
