INHUMAN Rebooted — Chapter 1: A Common Cause

[SWAT One]

Norum, looking increasingly irritated, searches for any high place and tries to elevate himself without drawing attention to his agility enough to look for the girl. "Where the forget iS SHE?!" he growls. Norum gets elbowed in the head by a man dancing and nearly snaps, but presses his lips together, keeping the flurry of profanities he had prepared shut away, not wanting to start a fight and ducking away. He squeezes through the crowd far enough away from the guy and spouts, "loving wanker."

Wanting to escape the thunderous bass, he decides to put the crow's nest on hold and tries to find a quiet corner of the club, should one exist.

Ryde scoffs at his watch, realizing the time that has passed. He then goes to the section Norum went off to, trying to find him.

You find relative peace in the wide stairwell that leads to the upper deck. On occasion you are passed by party goers, but they pay you no mind.

Ryde finds you shortly.

"Hows it going?" Elena asks, in a text to Norum.

[Agent Legit 22]

"I haven't found anything.", Ryde says to Norum. "You?"

[SWAT One]

"Nothing. We should search the quieter areas, maybe. Hey wait–Is that Daniel?"

Norum's gaze rests on the dance floor, "Hey, Ryde, go and get Daniel and continue the search. Elena's texting me.

Norum takes out his phone, making sure the bouncer from before wasn't in sight. He texts Elena back. "No luck. We got here 40 min ago."

He sends another text to Elena, "Where were you going? Another 'charitable fundraiser'?"

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde looks around at the dance-floor to follow Norum's gaze before nodding, taking the stairs down to the dance floor.

He pushes his way through the crowd, keeping his head on a swivel for the woman.

"Oh, stuff dude. Anyway, I'm out taking cards. Let me see if there's anything I can help with,"

Ryde looks around at the dance-floor to follow Norum's gaze before nodding, taking the stairs down to the dance floor.

He pushes his way through the crowd, keeping his head on a swivel for the woman.

The dance floor is beginning to be overrun. You cannot get a good look and keep track of Dan at the same time.

[SWAT One]

Norum glances over the crowd for some reason before returning to his phone, eyes glazing as Ryde nearly has to throw punches to get through.

He sighs and returns to his phone, texting Elena back, "Is there any way you can ping her phone's location over to me? Or better yet, perhaps all of these poor forgeters' locations."

Norum eyes the bar.

Ryde pats Daniel's shoulder, trying to get him to turn around.

[Mr. Hurricane]

New Music automata has a rave track now play the game

Norum eyes the bar.

"Not without putting malware on their phones first, unless I find some service they're using that is exploitable, but that like anything takes time.

A screenshot of a social media post is sent through, featuring the girl in question lamenting about a pounding headache without having drank anything. It appears she's in a booth.

"Found this, hope it helps, cheers!"

[SWAT One]

"Thank you, this is perfect."

Norum tucks the phone back in his pocket and looks down to see what Daniel and Ryde are up to, before he heads down to meet them through the throngs. I hate people.

[blazerblock2]

Ryde pats Daniel's shoulder, trying to get him to turn around.

     Dan turns around to face him.  "Huh!?" he says, leaning in toward Ryde, listening with his bionic ear to him.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde leans over to talk into Dan's ear. "We need to keep searching for her together. C'mon."

[blazerblock2]

     Dan looks confused.  "I thought you and Norum were handling it!?" he shouted in reply.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde pulls back from Daniel's ear and furrows his brow at him, looking rather confused. "You were down here the whole time?"

[SWAT One]

Norum pushes through just as Ryde questions Daniel. "Oi, c'mon Ryde. I just got a text from Elena. We have a good idea where she is.

And uh, Dan... Aagh nevermind, have fun."

Norum begins to exit in the direction of some of the nearest booth seating, with Ryde hopefully following.
