[color=F92a2a]"Looks like we all made it back,"[/color] Wonder Red noted as he joined his compatriots back at their meeting place. [color=F92a2a]"And it's a pleasure to meet you, Detective Lucia Morgan!"[/color] Even though he greeted her with his usual forward semi-friendly demeanor, he side-eyed Big Band, which was hard to tell from beneath his mask, though the detective's instincts might have picked up on it in the long-enough pause that followed. [color=F92a2a]"You can call me Wonder Red."[/color]

He wasn't keen on the idea of recruiting civilians into their cause, whether or not they wanted to. They couldn't divulge their true goals to those still under Galeem's influence. Wonder Red saw it as taking advantage of their state of mind, unable to truly consent to what they were getting into. Not to mention the method by which they were awakened. To put it simply, it rubbed him the wrong way, but for the time being he bit his tongue and trusted Big Band's judgment.

When time came to share information, Wonder Red cleared his throat. [color=F92a2a]"I've managed to glean some information from local bar patrons, though nothing conclusive. In terms of ways to leave the island that this city is built on, there are canals that lead out into the ocean, with scheduled ferry rides to the mainland. For a faster exit, there was less info. It seems not many people within the city leaves it to explore the surroundings, although there was talk of airships out in the forest we might be able to find.

"And I'm sure that you've found this out through Detective Lucia Morgan and other police members, but I've also heard stories of the dead coming to life at night. Regardless of if it's a usual occurrence for the city, I think we should look into it. It may lead to..."[/color] He looked at Lucia. [color=F92a2a]"...finding out more of our goals."[/color] Very inconspicuous behavior in front of a police officer.

[color=F92a2a]"Oh, and one other thing."[/color] Wonder Red scratched the back of his neck and looked to the side, avoiding eye contact. [color=F92a2a]"When we decide to leave, we might, uhm, have an extra traveling companion. The elderly turtle that offered me this information has been looking for a way to warmer climates, and, well, I possibly offered for him to come with us."[/color] He chuckled nervously. [color=F92a2a]"He shouldn't be much trouble. So long as you can listen to his stories..."[/color]

Naturally, deciding to stay meant needing something to [i]do[/i] with their time. Despite being fresh off a scuffle that got them separated entirely from the rest of their group, none of them were content to laze the daytime away, and took up Lucia's offer to hunt for a quick job. [color=F92a2a]"Oh, demolition. That would prove to be--"[/color] Wonder Red began before the excitement of the Spheal show overtook the group. [color=F92a2a]"R-right. Spheals. That's also doable."[/color]

Helping run an animal show didn't seem like the best use of their time, but they had plenty to kill, so Red didn't fight against the decision.

When they arrived at the place the board had indicated, Wonder Red lagged slightly behind Ace and Big Band approaching the group. He was never... [i]great[/i] with animals. Children could understand, learn, communicate, but animals he had a harder time connecting with. Luckily it seemed the self-proclaimed monster hunter was more than up for the task of handling the Spheals. As well, their choice of job had them meeting with another person freed from Galeem. What a funny coincidence.

[color=F92a2a]"Hello, Frisk, I'm Wonder Red. Seems you've been doing well for yourself out here."[/color] He took note of the [i]"sentient orb of pestilence"[/i] Frisk had with her. [color=F92a2a]"Is your, uh, friend there, missing a body? There might be something we can do to help."[/color]

It wasn't long after meeting each other that the Spheal show was starting. Big Band, Lucia, and himself spent the time before investigating around the fountain area in case any poacher lay in wait, but with the coast clear and the Spheal show beginning, it was time to take Big Band up on his offer. [color=F92a2a]"Yes, over here, Detective,"[/color] he said to Lucia, leading her a bit out of the way from the show. Hopefully she didn't get too suspicious when he lead her down a quieter, empty side road. When he was certain the coast was clear, he spun on his heel and leapt up, high enough to sock Lucia right in the face - an attack from both sides with Big Band![hr][center][color=f92a2a]766 Words
