"I'm, literally, half tree. Walking into a burning building doesn't sound like adventure to me, it sounds more like suicide. Now, if it was a forest, or even a wooded area, we'd have something." Delphi replied to Seina.

Felix responds to Seina by saying "My sense of adventure is being vastly overwhelmed by my desire to for crimes, particularly for serious crimes, to result in a proper court sentencing. Oh, and my desire to not be shot. That's important too. Neither of those desires are supported by running into a building presumably set on fire in order to utilise various ways to hide evidence of criminal acts." Seina somewhat deflates at Felix's rant on the current situation. "Geez... okay. And those are fair points.... but this is one of those situations that rapidly spiraled out of control because of Au Long and not because of us... I mean, me and Celia tried to leave once we saw what they were doing, but then the ninja attacked." Seina shakes her head and perks back up, deciding she was initially right to begin with. "Regardless, you don't get to complain since nobody's trying to implicate you in this and If that's how you really feel then why are you even here? You're just being fussy!" Seina looks at Delphi and somehow turns a shade paler as if remembering something from just looking at them, but beyond that, doesn't say anything.

Celia looked indignant, "Look, this isn't JUST about getting convictions. People were DYING in there... in droves. THEY HAD A FUCKING ORCHARD! Maybe we'll find a couple of people who aren't dead yet, and, y'know, save them! We had nothing before, not even an excuse to send a search party."
She crossed her arms, "As far as I'm concerned, BOTH OF YOU need to learn the difference between lawful and good."
She then jumped up and thrust her tiny sealed container into Delphi's arms, "If all you want to do is complain 'Waaaah, Celia and Seina didn't have a warrant' then why don't you stand here, be pretty, and hand the bag to Psyche when they show up, and let the people who care more about people than having the right piece of paper do the right thing. I'm starting to think there might be survivors in there, and if the building's on fire, they can't take much as is."
Celia then started stomping back towards the building.

Before the door closes behind Celia, a wooden staff strikes out, blocking it open.
"Come on, come on! There are still more people inside!" Millie frantically shouts. "Let's go, we gotta save the hobos!"
She stops for a moment, taking a breath. "Hey Celia. Hey Seina. I'm glad you're safe!" Then she looks back at the other students, her eyes bugging out. "Let's gooo-o-o-o-o-oo!" She bounces on her feet, already halfway inside.

"..." Chii stares at Seina, saying nothing as the others speak. "I take it 'quiet and stealthy' has been thrown out the window, yes?"
She then looks over Seina and Celia, checking to see if they are hurt....just as Celia has stomps off, soon followed by Millie.
At this, she pauses, looking between the others, and gives a loud sigh of exasperation. "...I am not fond of this sort of thing, but there may be lives to save and....I trust Millie." A pause, perhaps a second too long. "And Celia, for that matter." Chii runs behind Celia and Millie.

Dr. Burke sighs, as she bites her lip. She watches the others leave...but doesn't even try to stop them. "And, Delphi, that's why. I knew that...well..." She looks away, embarrassed with herself. "The kind of people this club attracts, are the kind of people that want to be heroes. No matter what. And it's hard to try to stop someone when you know they won't listen to you. Heck, I'd help them but..."
She looks over the crowd. "I know there are people in there who have crucial information. Some of them may even be 'perps'. Which means, someone has to keep an eye on the crowd. And it has to be someone with authority, who can explain things clearly to the cops. I can't go, even if I wanted to. And, I don't know any way to stop them from going."
She sighs. "I'm the general. Not a point man. Plus...we need to handle the, um..."
She looks towards the computer Seina found, along with Celia's bag. "Evidence..." Her voice trails off, not sure 'evidence' is the proper word.
Kasa, for her part, is sniffing around, curiously. "Strange...Delphi? I smell dryad fruit. Preservatives. Water...other liquids. And glass." She points to the crowd, where a man is limping away slowly, a briefcase in one hand. Unlike the rest, he's moving with purpose, not merely milling around unsure of what to do. Plus, he's trying to get as close to leaving as possible.
Seina, for her part, recognizes him as Dr. Glotho.
Inside, there are no guards anymore, those likely outside now that everyone has evacuated, and there is a clear path to an elevator in the back, along with various sets of stairs. Looks like the way is clear. Strangely, there is no sign of the fire that should be in the building, not even the smell of smoke.

Seina blinks and points at Dr. Glotho rather casually. "Oh. That dude with the briefcase and limp was doing the experiments with the Dryad fruit so I kinda beat him up. Uh... I'm kinda naked and carrying something, but should I stop him or does somebody less naked want to?"

"Right, I'll just go bring that limping man over here then." Delphi says, while thinking to herself, Arming myself sounds like a good idea right now. Instant Bow And Arrow kit away!
As she walks towards the limping man, Dr. Glotho, Delphi grows from her back tree a strung wooden bow & a couple of arrows, hidden in the branches. (Hero Power: Body Tree Mold for a permanently strung Bow & some Arrows, using Chi).
ksQxf3z6 five, two, five, one
As she approaches the limping man (Dr Glotho), Delphi calls out to him, "Hey, mister! The one having difficulty walking. There's a couple of people over here who would like to talk to you. Can you come over here please?"
(Edited due to forgetting to put this one in. Persuasion roll to get him to come over towards Dr. Burke and Kasa)·······

Felix, meanwhile, rubs his head before chasing the others inside. Do I at least have a camera on me. A camera phone would do! Felix thinks to himself as he followed the group inside of the building, checking his pockets as he does so. Upon entering the building, he asks the more reckless members of the party, "Do you have any plans, or is this just a 'wing it and hope for the best operation'? Because the trees are probably what's on fire, and are unlikely to be anywhere near this low in the building." as he continues to search his pockets for a camera phone.
(OOC: Not sure if it's in character or not for Felix to have a camera phone on himself, or have it hidden away in one of his bottomless bags of production somewhere. So leaving it up to someone else to decide. Probably you, Mitch, but I'm willing to let anyone make the decision.)

Millie runs ahead heedlessly. She stops at the stairs, looking flustered for a moment, before she tries to race up them, two at a time.

Chii walks inside behind Millie, looking around carefully as she follows her to the stairs. She mutters something like "No sign of fire...suspicious, no?" She falls a little behind the faster-moving Millie, but manages to keep from being too far.

As Delphi approaches he strange scientist, he looks at her...and blinks. She easily creates her bow, an expert att doing such a simple task. The scientis looks at her..and seems surprised.
(Doing the roll secretly)
The scientist looks around nervously, and moves towards the Oread, focusing straight on her, not seeing Seina. Or Kasa. Or Dr. Burke. He's...well, he could not LOOK more guilty if he was trying.
"What...do you want? I have to leave. THere's a fire. It's...very important that I leave. I have important documents. Yes. Important documents. Need to go. Should get them to safety."
He's sweating, he's so nervous. Seriously.
Inside the building, Felix is able to easily pull out a Camera phone, while Millie moves to head up tthe stairs...before noticing that there apepars to be a sub-basement...with an airlock like door. That looks...suspicious.
Chii, meanwhile, is able to look around and see...oooh. The secretary's computer has a MAP up. And it includes areas that aren't normally shown. The secret areas, the main fortress...some sort of emergency thing in the top room, something called "Lab B"...Not to mention, that the blinking alarm is marked 'Intruder' alarm, not 'fire' alarm. There's even a procedure pamplet next to it. Useful.

"Dr. Burke." Alexis steps out from the space behind the good doctor. "I hope things are going well. I had to skip an appointment with my hairdresser to get here."
Amid all the chaos and noise outside the building, it is hard to tell whether she is being sarcastic. However, on seeing Seina's birthday dress, the flat stare of disappointment is thick enough to taste.
"Well, at least half the problem has resolved itself."
((Reasoning check (base 3) for Alexis to have thought to bring extra clothes with her. ROLL HIGH BONES!))

Millie is halfway up the steps when she sees the door below, and she stumbles forward in her surprise. "O-oh!" She gets up as she turns, heading back down the steps... but what if there was something else at the top?
"Ohh!" Millie pauses again, takes a few steps up the stairs, then looks back down at the door. "Mmph!" She turns around...
