ATT: Fallers - Video/Action

[bestmomever]

While repairs on the Warehouse and Museum has continued quite well, new information has come to light.

A theft has been made by a unknown person, presumably in cohorts with Team Rainbow Rocket of a Crystal capable of transferring a large vessel between worlds. The culprit has been described as a "young woman with violet hair" and was "capable of walking with them". There was also a "spherical mecha named Emily" with them.

Details on the theft may be forwarded to @ Nozomi Yumehara and @ Aether Foundation and @ JennyPolice. Please let us know if you sight this woman or the mecha named Emily anywhere on the islands or have any information.

Thank you.

Lusamine sighed and hung up, as she clicked a button. "Cancel my appointments. Of all the situations, why did I become the spokesperson for all of this?"

Wicke smiled calmly. "It's because you're the Commander, and you're a horrible completionist?"

"Wicke..." warned Lusamine, but there was a tiredness to her growl. "Come in!"

Anyone could be at the door to talk to her right now. Any person, at all.

"The crystal..." Wes starts. However, that's all he gets out before suddenly the woman is pouring over his bike.

Wes didn't feel many things but he did feel protectiveness still. He jumps off his bike and stomps over.

"Hey, do you think that's a good idea? Cause it's not."

Wes ignores his Rotom. He reaches to yank the woman off with his enhanced strength.

"No. This is mine."

[fallers_npcs]

"Aww, but it's so... so... shiny!" Exclaimed Entrapta, clinging to it, hair and all. She was a lot stronger than she appeared to be, or at least her hair was giving her a lot more foundation to hold onto without her hands which came loose first.

Pouting, she added, "You know, I just really wanted to eat Malasada in peace. What's this about thievery anyhow?"

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

It certainly was well-taken care of, considering it was a bike from Orre...

Wes grunts in frustration as the woman refuses to come off. He gives a hard tug again, now more focused on just getting her off it.

"You take... crystal. From some ship." He doesn't know the details. He just knows this is the person to retrieve.

[fallers_npcs]

"Oh yeah that!" Exclaimed Entrapta, standing up straight and tossing Wes off her with a literal ! over her head in hair. "I borrowed that for Science!"

"You know what they say! Science NEVER sleeps!"

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes yelps, having clearly not expected that. He spins in the air but somehow manages to land on his feet thanks to enhanced reflexes.

"You can't borrow something if you don't ask first. People get mad."

[fallers_npcs]

"Oh yeah! Asking permission..." Entrapta rubbed her chin with her hair. "I did that first I thought. I thought i had that in my to-do list somewhere..."

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes eyes the hair uneasily. Those were some... impressive... limbs? Weird hair limbs.

"If you didn't get permission, you're stealing..." Wes muttered.

He looks at the hair and cautiously reaches out to poke it. "Can everyone do that with their hair?"

[fallers_npcs]

"Well yeah, but science takes precedent! Can't stop when you're on the middle of an amazing discovery!"

"Oh? Naw, just me. It comes in handy when I need to get something off the top shelf."

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

"Yes you can. You've stopped now." Wes points to the malasada. Lunch is a break, isn't it?

"Did you always have hair like that?" He thinks it's pretty cool, not gonna lie.

[fallers_npcs]

"Oh no, I'm still coming up with designs in here!" Exclaimed Entrapta, tapping her head.

"Oh yeah. Some princesses are born with ice powers, some have plant powers, I have prehensile hair. Lots of uses for hair like this! Makes for a nice nest when I sleep in the vents." replied Entrapta.

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

"Then you can come up with designs as you wait for permission." He knows how Ein gets when Lovrina takes his shit. Wes knows that scientists really should not steal from other scientists. "Also, the bike is mine." Cool hair or not, get off.

"...Sleep in vents. Because it's warm?" God, Wes. You're like a damn child.

[fallers_npcs]

"But asking permission is so borrrrrring," whined Entrapta as she slid off bonelessly.

"Sometimes I get an idea and I have to go into the vents to solve it, and I get lost so I just sleep in the vents!"

Entrapta please.

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

"So is washing your hands but you still do it." Sometimes responding like a machine really did give you insight to... something.

Wes just stares blankly at that response. And then he looks around where Entrapta was before.

"... Where's the crystal?"

[fallers_npcs]

"Well see, that's the thing: it's better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. That's what everyone told me." replied Entrapta mirthfully.

"Oh that? I hooked it up to the Big Machine. It'll be done in about three weeks."

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes is... sure that she's got the saying wrong but he doesn't know much about minor things like 'ethics' that well. He's forced to ask permission from Team Cipher for literally anything but he understands he's a freak and an exception. Maybe that's how normal people or normal criminals did things? It'd seem about right.

"... what big machine? What does it do?"

[fallers_npcs]

Ethics? Entrapta? Entrapta would laugh, if she knew she was doing something morally wrong. Wes would come to know this term later, but 'Chaotic Neutral' would be a term he would come to know very well later on.

"Oh it's cool. It whirs and zooms and bleeps and even I don't know what it does! But it needs power. Lots of it."

Entrapta grinned as she stretched out like a cat. "So I'm studying it! For Science!"

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Clearly the scientists of Team Cipher agree with the sentiment of 'what's ethics?' The young man stares at Entrapta and frowns.

"Where's the machine?"

[fallers_npcs]

"Oh you can't get to it. It's far, far away from here." replied Entrapta airily. "I'm still figuring it out to be honest."

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

"... Where's the crystal then?" Wes doesn't understand if Entrapta doesn't honestly.
