After toasting their drinks, Arms Slave started asking around for information regarding the Corpse Collector. By now everyone has an idea what her class was and a vague theme of her character: she was a gunslinger, looks sort of like a cowboy. Often doesn't go by her actual name, so everyone has a general idea that she may be a hacker. General, being that most of the people after her are law-abiding players, and don't want to get involved with a hacker. Arms Slave would have had similar feelings if he didn't work with the Sweepers. But because he did, he didn't fear some two-bit hacker like Corpse Collector. All he needed to do was find her, and record her death.

At the same time, Yuuno E-mailed him back. His face blushed when she called him cute. She seemed much more bold over the web. He was like that too, but at some point his online persona sort of became his real life persona. Strange how that stuff worked out. After sending out a E-mail to one of his informants Arms Slave messaged Yuuno back.

Heyo Yuuno.

A movie is fine with me. Let me treat you to popcorn and a drink. Also, I remembered you mentioning that I could bring a friend. I figured I'd bring one of my DG partners, let you in on the team too.

Anyways I'll see you later, don't be a stranger![/b]

After sending the E-mail Arms Slave got a few more messages from his informants. None of Arms Slave's leads got him the location of Corpse Collector, but it did tell him that she has cronies now. Outlaws that used to run the Black City before it opened up. Most still have a chip on their shoulder and want to remove Moon Rider from power. Arms Slave figured that the Corpse Collector must have rallied them up. But the four-armed berzerker knew that her gang wouldn't be enough to take on the Ebon Strykers, or the Sweepers for that matter. Killing her guys where just another day's work for people like Arms Slave. And he was about to get to work: his contacts told him that one of the outlaws had affiliations with Corpse Collector. What his relationship was, he didn't know, but Arms Slave was about to find out.

Arms Slave didn't have his truck, unfortunately, so he was going to have to hoof it on foot. With any luck though some Outlaws might try to think it'd be a good idea to run him over. Arms Slave equipped his two tower shields and wielded his bardiche, waiting for Cherry Lover to follow. [b]"We're heading towards the west, where the mountains are. Couple of outlaw goons over there, particularly a guy named 'Pale Rider'. We shouldn't kill him immediately though, we need to question him first. I got my ways to get an answer out of him, and with you there keeping him alive should be easy. Got anything you need to do before we head out?"[/b]

After patching herself up Retsu knew she needed to change her outfit. She thought she didn't get hurt too badly against Asahi, but upon closer inspection the smear of blood and dirt were notable, if faded, on her sweater and pants. Not the sort of thing she should wear going out. So Retsu went back to the closet and looked through for something else. Something a bit more... Dressy. She knew that when Asahi showed up for that outing with Yuuno and Yoshino, they couldn't go back to trading blows. Their battle would be done with wits and style. And Retsu intended to draw first blood by out-classing her brother.

It took her some time, but Retsu finally found a dress that'll work for her. She had to redo her make up and hair, and debated if she wanted to keep her glasses or trade them for contacts. After a coin flip, she chose contacts. Glasses made her look... Innocent. She wanted to look serious. Putting on the finishing touches and drinking another cup of coffee, Retsy headed out of her dorm to meet with Yoshino.

Much to her surprise, Yoshino arrived to the meeting place first, and she was all gussied up. She certainly looked like she was going to be somewhere fancy. Not that Retsu looked casual either. [color=black]"Tsugumi-san."[/color] [url=http://i.imgur.com/gYoqZta.jpg]Retsu[/url] walked over to the student president, the light from the street lamp illuminating her from behind. She seemed... More adult in this dress. Though perhaps it was the heels. Retsu certainly wanted to give the impression that she's more mature then she lets on. Or at least that she wasn't just a little girl trying to act like a woman. [color=black]"You look pretty."[/color]
