EL CORAZON BUILDING - 103 / THE CONCERT HALL

[∆§Indea§∆]

Micah murmured some form of assent before hurrying into the concert hall. He didn't want to bump into anymore teens hooking up, one was embarrassing enough. These guys were certainly a lot more fucking frisky than 403. Was it something in the water or just luck? He smiled in relief and part annoyance at seeing Alex. This wasn't going to get better soon.

He was somewhat concerned with the lack of the others though.

Brian-
"Yoo-hoo!"

Micah-
"Hey, where've you been mate? Err have you seen the others?"

[DKender]

Alex was going to mutter something along the lines of: It's not too late, but it's about three years too early. Fortunately, Micah interrupted that snippy train of thought.

"Where have I been? Where have I been? I've been playing poker with a ray of sunshine named Dr. Ortiz because SOMEBODY ran off. And by somebody, I mean EVERYBODY."

He ambushed Micah with a gentle surprise hug. It passed quickly.

"What were you doing? Where'd you go? I was worriiiiied. Oh, hai Brian."

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Brian-
"Aww. You guys are adorbs."


Kyle-
"Olivia... Why are you... Where's Jordan?"


Olivia-
"Nowhere. Why?"


Kyle-
"Huh..."

[∆§Indea§∆]

"Me? I was just hanging out with Brian on the roof, I guess we lost track of time somewhere...
So what the fuck should we do now? Maybe if we find Jordan, he could help us find the others like you said before, Brian?"

Micah looked questioningly at the El Corazon residents trying to gauge the situation. Olivia looked sheisty, Brian looked coy, and Kyle looked like... he always looks.

Brian-
"I don't know..."

[DKender]

Aw, bummer. Alex loved rooftops. Micah had all the fun.

"Yup. Gotta find them. We're cutting it close - seriously, Itoji and Obido were no fun, so traveling at night is out of the question. I don't wanna overstay our welcome and have an El Corazon sleepover. Plus, it's getting risque in here. There were people you-know-whatting in the hallway. Awkward."

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Kyle-
"Hm... Hey Alex, are your guys normally this, uh... risque when they go on jobs like this?"

[DKender]

"My guys? What do you mean by that? Aw, man. Are they making out somewhere? Daaaangit."

No wonder he couldn't find the dream team. So unprofessional! Alex crossed his arms.

"They should know that missions are NOT the proper time for sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Just say no, you guys! Just say no! Hrgh. Okay, who is it? Judy? Richie? Kenny? Cathleen? Point me in the right direction, and I will kill the mood SO fast."

With his eyes averted, of course.

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Kyle-
"Huh. Maybe you shouldn't be mad at your guys, Alex. Maybe they were seduced."


Olivia & Brian-
"..."


Kyle-
"We gotta find Jordan."

Fools were actin' mad sheisty. Kyle ran his eyes over the ceiling as if hoping he could see through it.

Kyle-
"Maybe we should split up?"

[DKender]

What did Kyle mean? Who'd want to seduce Kenny? Why were so many people behaving strangely?

Oh no! Was this some twisted lust-based (totes not compassionate) Satanic ritual??? He'd been warned about these kinds of parties during bible camp. Alex clutched his flashlight worriedly.

"Olivia, if you were hitting on me for any reason that's NOT related to my dance skills, I will be very disappointed. This is awful! I'm so glad you went to the roof, Micah. Instead of ... you know. We have to stop whatever it is! Right, split up. Who goes where with who?"

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Olivia-
"Tsst. I'm not desperate. Whatever."


Brian-
"Oh yes. That sounds terrible. I'd better go with Micah."


Kyle-
"I'll go by myself, hit upstairs to see if he's in his room."

((Check in from Indea before proceeding?))

[∆§Indea§∆]

Micah looked kinda embarrassed at the conversation and said nothing, hoping the dim surroundings would hide any redness in his face from Alex. Haha, Seduced.

Heh.

It had been a little easy...

He looked incredulously at Kyle's suggestion, had this guy watched any horror movies at all? Or maybe he'd watched too many...

Were they all taking crazy pills?

" What's wrong with having a little fucking fun? Splitting up sounds like a shit idea but it's your call Alex. We should at least agree on a fucking meet up spot for later on."

[DKender]

Alex didn't want to lose Micah again, but he'd be safe with Brian, and El Corazon wasn't a labyrinth (hopefully). Anyway, he didn't want to seem like a clingy scardy-cat.

Don't leave me, Homeboy, I'm afraid of cooties ;-;

"Um, yeah, splitting up is fine. Let's meet here in thirty minutes. There were some doors in the hall - I'll check those out. Alone. It's cool."

Kyle-
"The service hall? Those mostly go to the alley or double back in here or the kitchen. Maybe you can poke around this area, Micah and Brian can check out Greg's Auto, the office space, and outside stuff. I dunno."

[∆§Indea§∆]

Micah looked somewhat defeated, what had been the point exactly of finding Alex only to split up again? So they were on a quest to bust on people getting heavy. Fun fun fun ...ugh. The hook up police.

He turned to Brian

" Right, where should we look then? Got a bucket of ice water?"

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Brian looked mad bashful.

Brian-
"Ice water? What would we need that for? ... Haha, well, we'll just go out the front way, poking the shadows, work our way around to the back, I guess."

((Indea, go back the way you came / The Small Bar, when you like.))


Kyle-
"See ya, Alex."

Kyle went out the closest door to the hall, and from there the stairs.

((DeeK- The room you're in is quite large and shadowy, with miscellaneous peeps here and there. Alex can poke around in here, or go check the hall for starters.))

[DKender]

Alex watched Kyle leave with a faint smile. To Olivia, he said, "There goes Satanist Batman. Mysterious. Well. See ya."

He bounded to the near-stage region. For all his talk, Alex did not wanna interrupt risque business on tabletops, so he planned to wait at least ten minutes before returning to the service hall. That should be enough time, right?

Until then, he shone his flashlight into dark corners. It was thrilling.

"Aha! Who goes there?!"
