A lot of nothing to go on so far, but that was alright. You learn real quick in law enforcement that a stake-out is 99% boredom, 1% useful information. So he'd wait longer and occasionally glance over in their direction to make sure they were in the same place. From the sound of it, they might be about to relocate. Wouldn't want to end up alone on the lake front.

Idly, he still wrote down what they had said in abbreviated form if for no reason but simply posterity and as fuel for a quick down and dirty psych profile:
  • I can handle Cloud Nine if you're with me. (sexual tension)
  • I could be the Wolf of Red Lake (joke)
  • Get a room (different speaker)
  • We should stick together.
All very interesting stuff that would no doubt be vital to his solving the case of where the hell Riley('s body) is. All he could do was hope that he could get something eventually before they ended up dispersing to go off and do whatever it is that high school teenagers did these days. Which was probably what they did back then: smoke weed and hook up behind their parents' backs.

Wayne's constant comparisons to divinity were really starting to make Mali uncomfortable. Once or twice she could brush off, near-constant use was like jabbing safety pins into her self-image. She liked attention as much as the next girl, and it would be crazy to say no to a compliment, but there was a certain point where it just got too far. Maybe his normal customers liked having their egos inflated such a ridiculous degree. Or maybe it was just in Wayne's nature to go overboard with everything, including compliments. Considering his everything else that might be the case. The source of his egregious nature aside, he seemed to have everything involving hair under control, so there was no need to worry there.

"I probably don't take good enough care of my hair. Getting rid of the split ends would be for the best," Mali admitted, as she leaned back into the wash station seat, as internally she pushed the awkward feeling from the compliments down with the earlier discomfort of having to treat employees as things rather than people. Hopefully she wouldn't run out of space to cram all those emotions by the end of the time it'd be important: the party later that night.

The first thing that registered was that the damned thing didn't die from the first stab, which was expected. When go hilt-deep in a body there's generally a 50/50 chance that they just drop immediately, otherwise they keep going. With undead that balance shifted even further towards not going down immediately. The next thing that registered was that it had grabbed his hair, what little there was to grab. Well no matter, they were going to the same place within the next instant. Nor yanked his knife from the body of the undead and with a heave moved the undead from upright but off-balance to lying face up on the ground.

Nor planted his palm squarely on the chest and raised the knife high up, switching the grip to the so-called ice pick style. These buggers had a habit of not staying down the first time, so he did his best to make sure that wouldn't be a viable option. The first stab went to the windpipe. Then one for each eye. Then behind the clavicle. Then a few under the chin for good measure. After the first stab he felt any remaining resistance disappear, but his goal was complete incapacitation.

Now sufficiently bloodied, the dwarf rose from his kneeling position, and looked around at the rest of the group twirling his blade idly between grips.

"No use waitin' around on me, aye? Let's get movin'." His word said, the barber trotted along to the base of the staircase.

Mali hadn't really thought about anything she would specifically want for this shopping spree despite having plenty of time to do so, and it was just now beginning to dawn on her that was a mistake on her part. Next time she had a free moment, she'd try giving some pre-thought (was that a word?) on this things so she wouldn't be caught off-guard by things she could have seen coming. Right now it might just be clothes and hairstyle, but if this behavior repeated, it could end up being something more serious down the line. Her mind conjured up some brief image of giving the wrong answer and being shot for her trouble. It took her a second of solid willpower to not shudder out of place in the middle of a spa. The serious stuff will come later. Right now just focus on relaxing and getting pretty.

"We're going to a high class party this evening, very political. So I was thinking of something elegant, but commanding. Like 'I'm not a brute, but I won't be taken advantage of.' I prefer to stay natural as far as color goes. Think you can work with that?" As the words came out of her mouth, she was smacking herself internally for how dumb and lame she sounded. You're supposed to be trying to come off like you belong, not like some air-headed valley girl who can't distinguish from there, they're and their. That aside, she wasn't sure how much he'd be able to do, her hair wasn't all that long. It went down the the bottom of her neck at its longest, which definitely limited his options. Maybe she could get some extensions put in if it became an issue.

At the lakefront he didn't really pay Abraham's car much mind; there were people at the lake constantly. He didn't know who the car belonged to, so the fact that there was more than one car didn't strike him as unusual. If he were to start snooping through every car he happened to come across, not only would he have no time, he'd probably end up being arrested by rightfully concerned car owners.

Now the group of teenagers he came across, that was a different story. He didn't know why they were here, or even if they knew Riley, but they seemed like a good target for something of a stake-out. He tried to position himself far enough away from them that they wouldn't pay attention, but still within earshot. He wouldn't look at them, but try to look him he was busy with a business call (phone held between his shoulder and his ear so his hands would remain free). And he would just listen. Listen and take notes. See what he could learn just from paying attention. He could ask them about Riley later.

Mali's face briefly contorted in disgust upon hearing that Zoie did indeed eat rattlesnakes. She thought that Wayne was just kidding when he said that line, and she'd asked as a way to start a conversation; she didn't think that it would be true. Being the semi-sheltered girl from New England that she was, her interactions with reptiles were very limited. The idea of eating them outside of some disastrous survival context didn't sit right with her.

She didn't bother trying to hide anything as she undressed as well. She'd spent enough time in locker rooms that stripping around other women, let alone a woman she was supposed to be in a fake relationship with didn't bother her. Clothes folded up as best as she could get them neatly tucked away, she was robed up and ready to roll.

"We just ate a couple hours ago, didn't we? Should probably save the food for last." In her head, Mali weighed the three other options. Really any of those options sounded pretty great after the stress of the past few weeks; it was difficult to pick which one. Eventually, so she wouldn't be spending too long just standing around in the locker room too long she had a mental game of eenie meenie miney moe dictat her choice.

"We'll go with hair first." Assuming they weren't in for anything too extensive, which was probably a poor assumption given the context, it would probably take the least amount of time out of the three options. As far as hair went, hers was never too unruly, especially compared to a lot of the curly and wavy haired girls she'd attended school with. It took comparatively little effort to make it look nice, which freed her up to focus on other things. She'd never had a facial treatment proper, but based on what she gathered from tv, movies and books, they were pretty time consuming. And last, there was the massage. She knew that there were probably knots of muscle all over given her profession, and that would no doubt be a long, fun-filled adventure once sorting those out began.

Well she had successfully killed an undead puppet cased in armor, and now she found herself without much else to do. She looked around and saw all but one of the monsters had been dealt with, that being the one on the opposite side of the room. The dwarf looked like he had things handled, so her ursal intervention wouldn't be necessary.

The black bear plopped down its rear end onto the floor as it waited for the battle to wrap up. Sure, the druid could throw off the mantle of the bear and return to her humanoid form, but why would she? That would mean using up her beast wild form, and she would prefer to remain as battle ready as possible while still in the lair of the necromancer. Who knew what else he might have lurking in the tower. And if by any chance the coming storm came to pass and they ended up out in it, she'd prefer to have the extra bulk of the bear form to keep warm.

For the past day or so, Mali had been privy to many conversations where she had been an outsider with everyone else being quite close in some way, shape or form. Eventually she was just going to start counting these things as "another one." Still, all things considered, the tone of this particular shop visit was far less awkward for her. No attempt at trying to rationalize treating people as tools to fetch things or perform errands. Just let the flamboyant... beautician? She wasn't sure what exactly Wayne did here yet. Perhaps after this Marco was finished giving them a facial. But that aside, she just had to let him lead the way and not say anything stupid that would ruin the entire atmosphere.

Now alone with Zoie in the changing room, Mali couldn't help but feel very slightly miffed at the fact that she would need to change again. Yes, she was in a spa and the fact that they would be stripped down to robes was a given, but at the same time, she had just gotten into these clothes, and now she had to take them off. Oh well, there were worse reasons to have to take off one's clothes.

"So," Mali said as she kicked off her sneakers. She wasn't going to sit down like Zoie had. She didn't need to, and it would only make removing certain items, namely the bodysuit more difficult. Briefly, she wondered where she was supposed to put her previously worn garments once removed, but figured Zoie would show her, or the staff would take care of it, were it truly an issue. "You eat rattlesnake?"
