Leah blinks. "As in reminiscent of the senator Dracos, one of the first guys outside Hammurabi to actually write laws down. Really, really harsh laws, but LAWS, nonetheless. Unlike Dracos, though, they aren't clear on what the standards ARE."
She ponders. "Maybe I should ask to get in, claiming it's elitist. I mean, it IS. You can only get in if you have a family connection and approval. Maybe Greta could get someone in? I mean, she's gotta have a lot of connections, considering she's really, really old."

Xue rubs the back of her head. "Hn. Let's just contact Greta on the way. If she can get us in, great. If she can't, we'll at least have a heads up as to what we're going into." The collegiate cyber-ninja fishes in her pockets for a moment, getting her keys out. "So let's get going all the same. Are we carpooling or going separate?"

"Give me the address," Alexis says, pulling out her phone. "It's a long shot, but if this place is that exclusive, I might have connections to someone on their registry. And while I'm doing that, you could explain why we're after this Jennifer Summers." At the opportunity, she puts the address into an online map search, hoping to find a hotel name, website, and online registry.

Nikki raised an eyebrow "Do you mean that in terms of 'have to know someone in the family' or 'related to someone semi-important'? Dad is a colonel, after all. That's a step before you get to general rankings... and come to think of it. I'd probably be in trouble if I pulled it to insist on getting special privileges, but pulling it on snooty social status people just to say I'm from a good family might be cool."
She then looked towards Xue "Aren't you a heiress? If that's not enough to get us in, then you'd probably have to have a signed slip from the President or something."
Nikki grinned "Or alternatively, you know, I could probably just show up in a bikini, and they'd probably let me in because... you know." Nikki's tone was, of course, joking. There's no way Nikki would have suggested that seriously.

Xue however, seems to consider it. "Hm. We should probably at least bring swim wear. If it comes to the point of speaking with the individual in question, it may be wise to at least come prepared. As for my relations... I do not know if it would apply, though I would rather hope it does not come into play. Calls on the way?"

"You can't be serious," Alexis snorts. "What kind of Cold-War era spy movie are we in that 'swim wear' is going to play a major feature?"

"..." Now would be a bad time to tell them that most espionage movies were based on actual events...

Nikki facepalmed "At a pool? It'd honestly be a little wield to walk in full dressed in street clothes... which... might be a problem for me. I don't have a bathing suit for... reason. Yeah, I could pull that I'm related to a colonel if they need proof I'm from a 'good family' or something."

Leah, for her part...promptly hands Alexis the address. "Well, off the top of my head, for good reasons to get in with Jennifer? She's head of the swim team, does a good bit of extracurriculars, and her family has been in the town for GENERATIONS. So, yeah. either or. Anyway...I gotta go. I better get to the Meta Club's base, right?"
She heads off and wave. "See you at the meetings!"

Xue sighs and shakes her head. "Thanks Leah." She says absently. "The assignment was to get people. We get people, we succeed the assignment. Plus, we don't let the press start harboring elitest rumors or cheating stories. So faster we can bring in the stragglers or weak links, the better off we all are in the long run. So. We carpooling?"

Nikki nodded, "It's probably easiest and quickest."

"Fine with me," Alexis replies, not paying full attention as she goes through hotel information on her phone.
((At GM's discretion, gonna try to add Alexis' Gear Aspect bonus to the persuasion to get inside, if we don't find a more forward way in before then. Do I need to make a roll or check to find a relevant connection Alexis can use online?))

(PMing you the answer, Mercurius!)
Alexis is easily able to get the relevant directions, so all they have to do is get there.

Alexis pauses as she taps through the hotel website. "Ah," she comments, without elaboration. Then she quietly stows the phone inside her business jacket. "I may have an in." She is about to say more, then pauses, taking a quiet head count of Nikki, Destiny, and Casey. "...Where is Miss Fing?"
When Xue drives up in her Camaro, a hint of surprise briefly crosses Alexis' face. "Well... Let's move it then, ladies." The gorgon moves purposefully for the passenger side front seat to go.
