Kasa takes a deep sniff, and smiles. "Nah. You're cool, Delphi. I got a good enough nose to be able to detect the scent of different people. You don't smell like a fresh, growing Dryad tree. And it's not mixed with the cloying scent of decay that a Dryad being given funeral arrangements has."
Bruke nods. "Oh yeah. You were at Cynthia's funeral. Darn shame what happened to her. Told her she should have had a partner while mountain climbing..."

Summers blinks once, twice, and then pulls her sunglasses off they rest of the way. She takes a breath, switches out her glasses inside of her jacket for a smart phone, and unlocks it with a flick of her wrist.
"Explain on the way, doc, but I've got a few. How much prep time do we have? How heavy are we going in? Do I need to call in some..." The succubus' voice drifts off for a moment, putting her cigarette to her lips, and then picks her sentence back up, "old friends of mine, or are we able to handle this ourselves? ...Oh, and is my bike going to be too obvious to drive up on?"
She pulls out a plain lighter, flicking it open, before stopping herself and looking at the two people Dr. Burke is talking two, "...I'm also gonna need to know what your friends look like."

Chii touches her own cheek for a moment, as if wondering just why Millie might have touched there....then her face practically turns into a beet, her demonic markings barely visible on her skin for a moment.
"...M-millie?"
Then Millie goes back to pacing. Chii pauses for a moment and looks as if she might try to do something, but stops herself. She sighs, and listens to Dr. Burke as she addresses the group, turning towards Dr. Burke when she addresses Millie and herself. Chii ponders for a second, then moves to reply after Delphi.
"As I am a premedical student and not a warrior nor good at sneaking, I think it would be best for me to assist in gathering evidence of medical wrongdoings, to examine their 'test subjects' for signs of having eaten dryad fruit, or perhaps to provide first aid to the injured and ill, no?"
"As for the two who have infiltrated? One is Celia Stark; I would consider her a friend. The other, Seina, I don't know as well, we have only met a few times, yes? Here is what I know: Seina is disguised as one of their 'test subjects' and Celia was, I think, to pretend to be a doll. It would be best if we could contact them beforehand without giving it all away, no? But I do not know how to do so. I know Celia's telephone number but it may be detected and even butterfly paper may be noticed."

Latimer looks among the group, writing furiously. "Hobo's, dryads, death, danger... group field trip?" He stops for a moment to look around at everyone, then back into his writing. "Okay, my parents are never going to believe this."
Finished with his quick notes, he closes the book. "I am willing to help in anyway that I can. I'm not good at fighting or healing... But I do wanna help anyway I can."

Not being believed... Felix thinks to himself, after hearing what Latimer says about his parents. "Actually, that brings up a good question. Can we get some sort of recording device to show what we find? Because while what we're doing might be legal, having visual evidence could be important for shutting the entirety of this operation down quickly."

Burke, meanwhile, has pulled out a phone, and once she finishes checking it, nods. "Okay...our ride is here everyone. Summers...the bike is fine, but we definitely want to go in light, and LEGAL. Prep time is, well, we have to go now. Luckily, I'm pretty sure everyone here has a recording device for visual evidence. Heck..I have one. Namely, my cell phone. Can't do that with butterfly paper...Sorry for the delay, we have..."
And, outside, she gestures to...a van, with a rather large man sitting in the front. The man waves...and everyone can see, that on top of the van...is an Uber sign. "Uber!"

When she answered it, Celia was on the other end. A rather shaken and worried looking Celia... and this was Celia they were talking about, "Yeah, I've got evidence. I've got a Sealed Container full of it. And a picture."
She then sent a picture of what she found. It was a picture of someone who didn't survive the dryad transformation, with a nascent dryad fruit tree poking out of them.
"... I rescued a Leprechaun Shaper who was trapped who'd offered to craft something if I need it as thanks. I'm not sure what a Demon would use it for, but tell Chi that I'd be willing to pass on that 'favor' as payment if they can get someone from the Gehenna Complex to help treat any survivors there may be. And it... is beyond any scale we've imagined so far. Greta... they..."
Celia looked like she was about to cry, "They have a whole orchard."
(Celia passes the favor she's owed by the Leprechaun Shaper to Chii, granting them the [Favor Passed Along] aspect, which can be invoked to nullify the favor they'd normally incur for gaining the help of a member of the Gehenna Complex to help the survivors)

Greta, for her part, simply steps forwards...and plays the message for everyone. "...This is why Dryad Fruit research is outlawed." Her face is flat, completely without emotion. But her hands are shaking. And they're not stopping.

"..." Serena doesn't say anything after being shown the video. She simply pulls out her bike keys and walks past everyone, gets on the black chopper with a pink flame pattern parked outside, and starts the vehicle up, throwing the kickstand up and grabbing her helmet.
Just before she slams it on, she calls back to the others, "Are we going to stop this or what?!"

As soon as Burke says, "Our ride is here," Millie jumps. "Okay! Let's go!" She doesn't stop to listen to the phone call; Millie runs straight for the room exit.
WHAM!!
Millie groans as she rebounds. "Urrrghn, who keeps closing the door on me!?" Still a little dazed, Millie fumbles with the handle for a bit and makes for outside, as the phone call is still playing out.

Chii begins to follow Millie, but stops when she realizes that Celia is on the phone and watches as Greta shows it to them. She....recoils in horror at what Celia shows and tells them.
"Merda...it is even worse than I imagined. There is no possible....we must stop them. Now."
Chii pauses for a second, then continues on "If she's still on, tell Celia that I can turn the favor in when we get there...should not be too difficult, I know a few people at the Gehenna Complex to contact, yes..."
...She then facepalms as she realizes that Millie had just run into a door. She turns and follows Millie to the door, a bit more carefully but...well, Celia had proven Millie right.

"Welp, I'm getting in the car. Not sure why we're taking an Uber, but whatever." Delphi said, walking out.

Felix follows the others outside to the vehicle.

(Sorry for this taking so long...I got distracted by classes, and was a bit demoralized by the low posting rates. Gonna try to get back on, now. And do stuff! Gonna move it forwards a bit.)
Dr. Burke, silent and somber, is soon able to take the collected people to the location that was given. She doesn't say anything, instead being silent for the whole carr ride. A net effect, is that this leads to the ride being quite boring, and feeling like it takes forever. She soon arrives, shortly after Summers, and the group can see what's going on.
The building in question, is a large office building, one that fits into many others downtown. It is owned by Au Long outright, and filled with all the people who work there. In this case, however, large amounts of them are flooding the streets. Apparently, someone pulled a fire alarm or something. Amongst the people, the group can see Seina and Celia...with Celia being a surprising size. Looks like Chi's help still hasn't arrived yet, though...

(Hey, I posted two days ago and my main reasoning behind not posting was "I don't really have anything to say" and "laziness")
"That's worrying" Felix says, seeing the evacuation while getting out of the car, "It looks like they're evacuating for some reason. Something could very easily go missing or get destroyed with little to no evidence in a situation like this. It can easily make finding evidence about our Seer's Vision far harder to find."
