"Oh... oh!" Millie gropes around blindly, until her hand connects with Chii's shoulder. "Yep, yep! Yep! That's the guy! But, uh--but he's got papers!" Millie leans in, her eyes blinking rapidly as she refocuses to look Chii in the face. "Can we fight papers?"

"Guys, the logo looks SUPER similar to the logo used by the movie based on Xue Fang's life... which I heard she hates! The movie, not her life." Celia told them, keeping her voice relatively down.
"Which means... we've got ourselves a genuine villain organizaton here! Probably! I think!"

Chii ponders the logo and name and realizes that she had seen the name before, when she'd last visited her parents. She'd seen a truck with the very logo and name before in Lichinga. They were heading off to a distant village to test an experimental....
She jumps, startled, from Millie's unexpected touch. She manages to land afterwards, but stumbles about a bit as she listens to Millie. "Papers? You mean, he has contr----AAAH!" Chii trips on a root and falls right on top of Millie...and ends up with her face planted right on Millie's chest.
...she's not really in any position to listen to what Celia is saying...

At which point, the scientist walks up, and blinks as he sees the three people there. Two in an awkward position, and one who..."Am...I interrupting what appears to be a pair of lovers...with a pet LEPRECHAUN? Oh my...that's quite rare. Tell me, Miss Leprechaun."
He bends down to see Celia, and adjusts his glasses. "Is it true that, if I capture you, you will have to give me your pot of gold?" He smiles brightly, trying to look non-threatening. The fact that his glasses, using transition lenses, have turned jet black does NOT help.

"Whoa!" Millie yelps as she stumbles over backwards. "Hnf!" From her spot on the ground, she looks "down" at Chii. "What happened? Why did--oh, he's coming HE'SCOMING!" The magus frantically tries to roll back onto her feet, groping for her staff. "I need lawyer spells!"

From her desk at Red Skies, Alexis looks over her shoulder with a start. After a moment, she turns back to her proposed amendments folder, mildly annoyed with herself.

"No, Stark family." Celia explained.
Celia was so used to this that it didn't even bother her any more.

"....mmph"....Chii carefully lifts herself off of Millie. "I am sorry, I tripped."
She then turns to face the scientist...obviously Millie saw him in her visions, something involving paperwork and lawyers. So, he was signing contracts with the homeless, perhaps illegitimate or abusive ones - though the company itself was either legitimate or had a legitimate front.
"....Incorrect on all three counts. The only nonhuman here is me, I am my own person, and neither of the others has ever asked me out as of yet."mChii carefully does NOT elaborate on the possibility of anyone here asking her out in the future, or vice versa. "Besides which, I think it is illegal to keep a Leprechaun as a pet in this country, something about a law forbidding slavery, yes?"
Chii shrugs at that. "...also, you been signing contracts with homeless people, yes?"

The scientistt ponders that. He doesn't seem off his game."I see...how disappointing. I would have ensured said Leprechaun was compensated for the time. Though...compensation for a pot of gold WOULD be quite difficult. I assumed it was some sort of cultural thing. I also apologize for using the term 'pet'...I am unfamiliar with the specifics of the correct term to use. Companion? Familiar? And...I have no idea what the Stark family is, unless they happen to create power armor."
He turns to Chi. "Why...we require help with our research. We're running a longitudinal study on the effects of a change in food supply on health, and the health benefits of our new dietary supplements. The longitudinal nature of the study, however, means they have to stay in the facility for a while. Fortunately, since they lack...attachments, it's quite easy. We offer free room and board, as well."

"Oh!" Millie replies. She gets up quickly as she can--but not so fast as to throw Chii off rudely. As she props herself up on her staff, Millie pauses. "Actually, would you mind saying that again while I rub my fingers on your head?"

The scientist just...looks at Millie. The face of someone who has just heard something COMPLETELY insane...
His tone is completely deadpan. Which matches his face.

He takes a breath.

The cacophony coming from one of the older hobos seems almost out of place. Between bouts of musical diarrhea as they mangle a mostly broken harmonica, the hobo complains of the current standards of the hobo profession from notes on the security practices on boxcars to highly processed food that's been throw away taking away from the experience of dumpster diving.

Chii snorts. "Classmate is a better term, yes? Perhaps even 'Friend'."
As Millie tries something rather strange, presumably to make sure the scientist is telling the truth, Chii herself simply observes the scientist's tone and body language to see if he's telling the truth or not.

jflQ_PrI +2 reasoning +2 from invoking Reasoning 'Overdeveloped Imagination'
Seina hands off the broken harmonica and gets up, heading over to the scientist and grabbing a contract from him. While, she wasn't a expert in law she atleast knew that contracts held a lot of weight, but then again, she was still in disguise as a hobo, someone who typically would not be missed if they disappeared out of a contract. So then that rose a question, why bother with the contract at all? For someone who lived off grid this was just a piece of paper. She continued reading through it, scratching at the fake beard she currently was wearing. She peeked over at the group who had also appeared here, pondering their affiliation and motives, still, they didn't seem bad, atleast compared to the scientist.
After, a moment of reading, she stops, hopefully having figured something out.···

"Okay..." Millie reaches out to the scientist with one hand. She licks the corner of her lip as she tries to connect with Yomi to bring her mind into closer contact with his. She tries to probe the scientist's thoughts for information about the contract, and to verify his statements.
