Destiny nods to Katelyn. "Well yes, though we were interrupted by the power outage and were planning on restoring the power... Possibly having words with whoever caused the power outage in the first place if we find them... Miss Casey is a huge fan of the show and would be greatly upset if she were to miss an episode of her favorite series."

The thug looks to Xue, and seems unsure. "Who do you work for? I really can't split it, not with the cut the Boss takes. I mean..." Then he sees Celia. "You're...WHO? JESUS CHRIST OW!"
As the energy blasts him, he staggers back, the thug's shirt tearing, his veins bulging where it hits. He clearly took a hefty, hefty bit of damage. That HURT...
2JCjjevr
One of the vessels in his chest swells, and as he puts a hand to it, it bursts, looking much like a blood blister. Blood oozes out slowly. The whole vein itself did not burst, leaving the effect much like if he popped a pimple. A very big pimple. He puts the thing down, and yells...rather loudly. "JESUS HAPLOID CHRIST WOMAN! I'M TRYING TO PAY FOR MY MEAL PLAN! YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND BLASTING PEOPLE WITH ENERGY BEAMS! I HAVE A BOSS! HE GETS ANGRY WHEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS! HE GOES TO PEOPLE'S HOUSES, AND HITS THEM WITH BASEBALL BATS!"
He looks down. "JEUSS CHRIST MY CHEST IS BLEEDING!"
(Thug takes 5 Chi stress, and takes a minor consequence to knock it down to 2 chi stress. He's VERY tough. His consequence? JESUS CHRIST MY CHEST IS BLEEDING! Celia gets a FP becaues this makes things much, much worse...)···

Yeah. That gets a blink. Then another blink. Then a shrug. "Well then. I'll compensate you. Lets refrain from beating up the help. You help me get what I want out of this place, I'll give you equal cash." Xue looks on over to Celia, "Come on. We got a lot of things to look over if we're going to clean this place out."
"I'm a private contractor. He's threatening a client. So I want everything I can to get the muscle I want on him. Cleaning him out - is a bonus. Think you can handle that?"

Celia watched, and said "Say, is this a defeat equals friendship thing?"
She did feel a bit worried about the yelling though, though she couldn't figure out why.

The thug, meanwhile, is...busy trying to let his heart calm down. "Okay, okay...befriending it is. Jesus Christ lady...You...do realize I'm just trying to EAT, right? I mean, the college mealplan is really expensive. So, yeah. His room is upstairs. Guy lives above his restaurant. So, um...what leads 'Batman' and a.." He looks over Xue. "A...Ninja, to be doing this sort of contract. I mean...kinda far from Okinawa, right?"

There is a decided pause before Xue responds, "Sore wa himitsu desu." The ninja begins examining the area more thoroughly, "As said. I'll pay you for what you find. You can take the finished reward to your boss." She looks on over to the thief again, "I think that'd cover your meal plan. But we have to hurry." Her gaze looks over towards the rest of the party, "We need to fan out and search everything. I fancy a gander upstairs."

Katelyn slowly comes to, having passed out at the violence, her face is still white as a sheet. She looks around..
"W-what happened...?"

"Justice. Oh, and we converted the villain to heroism! Just like in those magical girl animes!" Celia told Kate, sounding proud of herself, preparing to help Xue search the area.

The thug nods. "Okay. Yeah...so...I'm going to get on this, see if I can find anything incriminating...and, well...go from there." He sits down, and walks over to the floor. "Okay, so...safe first. Then I can help you guys." With that, he looks down at the floor safe, and pulls something out of his pocket. The long, snakelike mechanical thing appears to be some sort of tool, and he grasps the handle tightly, before wedging it into the side of the safe. The tool heats up, melting through the edge like hot butter. He carefully begins to work on the safe, making sure not to burn the treasure within.
(Okay, the rules are simple. This will be, like most things, a mix of roleplay and rollplay. The better you describe what you are looking for, the better chance you have of finding something. There are two areas. Upstairs, which is the apartment, and downstairs, which is the restaurant. What rolls you use to search is up to you, though generally mental skills are the key. Remember, 4d6, add stat to the pluses or minuses. The more successes you get, the better. The more people work together, the better. Total successes are most important here, though manuevers are always useful.)

Xue begins her... examination. Well then. Logically for a tech individual, his goodies would be upstairs. Then again, if she was to think something more nefarious would be going on, he'd need a lot of storage space. Probably with someone who was actually funding his problems. That would just be silly though. Still - why not check? After all, heavy duty electronics required a lot of cooling. A 'restaurant' like this would most definetly have a meat storage. Which is also the universal storage closet for nefarious deeds. So, Xue looks for the meat locker of the restaurant.
--- (forgot to add my roll ---
Once inside, Xue starts looking for particular oddities in the design of the room. Whether you were hiding bodies or a super computer, cold was your friend. Though if this place went any farther... it would leave a trail - and that would mean more than likely - power. Due to the threat they were facing, it would easy to reason it would be tech based. Xue started to search for oddities. Any extra power. Structural changes. Signs or creases in the design of the structure as she knows it, (well she did turn off the power to the building!) that would give way to a hidden generator or secret passage.
Rolling Craft - inspecting workmanship for oddities - seeing as this building has been worked on a very long time!

Celia knew that the bad guys usually had something incriminating. Sort of. At least she thought it was. Well, she figured there'd be one. Hopefully, it'd be hidden under something. Or between something. Really, as long as it was some place easily accessible to someone tiny, she'd do well.
Now she can search for justice! American Justice! Because barging into someone's apartment and searching their house without so much as a warrant is the most American thing ever!
Celia rolls her Perception 2 and invokes her Persistent Aspect: Naturally Tiny for a +2, and invokes her 'Truth, Justice, and the American Way' for a total base of 6

Katelyn decides to follow the rest of them (And totally not because Xue is up there), and begins to stroke her chin thoughtfully as she glances about, invoking the knowledge she's learned from her favorite Detective mangas to search the room!
"Hmmm...yes....here...and there...and this..."
+3 from Reasoning!

Xue is able to easily look around. Let's see...secret room, secret room. She feels around the wall, before looking at the stairs up. Something about them...aha! She feels around the floor, finding a piece of the floor that looks like it can pull up. Seems like there's a motor under it...but that's boring. she lifts it up quite easily. Inside, there appears to be a basement, with a chair, a spare laptop, and such. The laptop is hooked up, and WOULD be charging, if the power was on. Xue is easily able to pull it up...and it's password protected. Looks like she'd need a password.
Which is when Celia, pops in, able to slip under a couch, finding something thanks to her small size. After a heroic battle against a rat, who flees at the skill of Celia, she comes out with a cell phone! Looks like it's been there a while, but it was off, so the battery is still good.
Kate, looking at it, is able to quickly realize something. Someone of Adrian's age is BOUND to have terrible, terrible password security! I mean, even she has trouble remembering random numbers. When you're sixty, it's gotta be hard, right...AHA! The notes in Adrian's phone have a list of random numbers!
Xue is easily able to enter them, and find...JACKPOT. Adrian saved a ton of e-mails. Any reporter worth his salt, knows that you have to get all the info you can, on your informants.

Xue gives a nod as they plunder the situation. She looks over the others, going on to retrieve a napkin from the growing restaurant. She takes her time, folding a paper crane, and places it in the compartment she took the laptop from. "I think we are about done here." She says. Turning to the others, and their new friend, "It would be best if we all leave." However, as with complications, there is always clean up. She fetches some bleach, beginning to cover the areas thoroughly that have blood on them. "Ready to go?"

The Thug, AKA Chei, nods to the group, having finally finished with the safe. "You guys go, I can handle cleaning up after myself...nice move with the bleach, by the way...just keep "Batman" in line, okay Cyber-Supes?" He looks to Xue, Celia, and Kate, nodding.
That's when a set of butterflies land on everyone save Chei's head. Looks like a message from Greta, to come back to the club.
