As she was led to the dance floor, Rina couldn't help but to make a few mental notes of people present. She had to keep her wits about her, and not let herself relax without looking like she was being too observant. She could pick out a few familiar faces in the crowd, but they weren't overly important. None she had to really worry about too much yet.

[color=chocolate]"...huh?"[/color] Rina's gaze briefly was drawn towards the fringe of the party while Mika was showing her the dance. No, that...Alicia wasn't that dumb. She quickly focused back on Mika.

[color=chocolate]"...pfft."[/color] Rina reached out, giving the other girl a friendly head rub. [color=chocolate]"I dunno why I expected anything different."[/color] She laughed as the girl in front of her 'danced'. It certainly wasn't your typical club friendly dance, but it fit Mika perfectly. Rina was perfectly fine with just doing something silly instead of trying to get too into whatever these other girls were doing. So Rina followed suit, placing her hands at the side of her head and proceeding to shake her hips.

Divina quietly observed Penny a moment.

[b]"I am unsure how much help I will be. I am not very fond of the...fighting thing."[/b] She replied with a soft sigh. [b]"I'd much rather solve things with as little bloodshed, but, there's not much we can do about it."[/b] Divina didn't blink once as she replied.

[color=violet]"Hmph, for what they're having me do I better get a raise, a personalized gift box and a goddamn vacation that doesn't involved being kidnapped by a dolphin."[/color] Chloe replied irritably. [color=violet]"Should be fine. I'll be back by the time you are. Stay safe, okay? I might be able to tell where you are, but...this job admittedly, is probably a bit dangerous and might take me a while."[/color]

[b]"Don't worry, Chloe. I'll make sure things are taken care of."[/b] Divina replied.

[color=violet]"Good, then. I'll be off then. Ugh, I am not looking forward to this."[/color] Chloe said with a wave, exiting the apartment, leaving Divina and the other girl alone to decide what they were going to be doing. Once outside, the first thing Chloe did was head to Covington tower. She had to at least make a show of cooperation in this regard, but whether or not this information was going to actually be useful, remained entirely unseen. There was a good chance Veronica wasn't being truthful.

Upon reaching it, she quickly wrote a reply for the raven.

[color=violet][i]"Veronica may be leaving Penrose for some time. Information is likely accurate."[/i][/color][/quote] That was the best she could do on that front. Now all she had to do was kill a pretty little bird.

Just as she finished, there was a...call? From...Reaver? Well, that was interesting. She answered, almost expecting him to just be creepily breathing on the other end, but she was pleasantly surprised once she figured out what she was hearing. What was he doing with Cindy of all people? But the thought quickly turned to idle amusement as she heard the scuffle over the phone.

So Cindy was now coming to murder Ishtar, huh. She doubted the assassin was legit, but it worked in their favor. The only worry she had was whether nor not the Mint would accept it as -her- doing it or find some bullshit excuse that she failed.

Hm.

Well, no matter.

Chloe quickly texted back to Reaver.

"Perhaps you deserve a reward, hm? I'm going to go ahead and say hi to the Cardinal. Don't be late."

With that, she left the tower and headed for the park.
