The locks are cheap, cheap enough that the only thing that could stop Lilly from giving access to every room is that statistically some have to have the latch set. 255 is not one of them. In fact, the door opens almost as soon as the lock is commanded to open, and a deep, rumbling troll voice beckons Lapine to enter, by name. The inside is mostly sheets hung up enough to break line of sight but at the same time it's sheets. The outlines aren't that hidden and this technically wouldn't stop a magical assault... if they're expecting to look at the floor in the first place.<br/><br/>In which case they probably wouldn't see the troll coming, which is bad because even with the sheets Lapine can see a troll sized katana leaning on the chair that is definitely straining to hold what's probably seven foot something of muscled, lounging troll. A more familiar voice comes from deep inside the closet, probably deep enough to be in room 256. "Ay, Lapine! Come on in. Always good to meet up withafriend. Just don't know how long you're gonna stay."<br/><br/>Cards. A runner that Lapine had worked with a few times in the distant past (or so it felt). Minor mage, always used a card theme in her aliases, and last time Lapine had seen her, the mage had been burnt out after a run in with an unknown something. Cards didn't give out many details about that, and had mostly disappeared from the shadows, some said living a frugal but sad existence in an attempt to buy enough 'ware to get back into running, others saying that she'd given up to retire on favors and sugar never come back to what she'd lost.<br/><br/>Past the little sheet fortress, things really opened up, and not just because the troll had left to large horn gouges in the closet-doorway. Everything's been moved away from the central L of access between the rooms, and even in 255 the beds are moved to clear a charging path for the troll and serve as minor obstacles if some (animated) body tries to get in through the window. Speaking of, the troll lady's a changeling and her green lizardy scaling blends with her tanktop so well that for a short second she seems both topless and nipple-less to Lapine's eyes. She stood to get a drink from the fridge just as Lapine enters the curtain, showing off some very interesting abs and white-ish color to the lighter scales. Oh, and also the bottom of her tanktop and the pseudo-medieval armor lower half that she's wearing. That is probably important to placing her, just like the face that Lapine can't see.<br/><br/>256, it seems, is the group's little command room. A nice trid screen has been set up on the desk and it's getting feeds from all the cameras they have set up. It looks like the other set of rooms has been made up as a perfect anti-mage room with cheap trellises and sickly vines serving a similar purpose to the sheets hung on the backs. And from the title given to those three cameras, it seems that this room and it's small trap is where Pain's target actually is.<br/><br/>Cards looks mostly like Lapine remembers. There's a bit more toning, some chrome along her spine, and some new piercings in her nipples. Simple bars, but shiny and her style. It could be her showing off some kind of flexibility modifications, but most likely Lapine caught Cards relaxing and the twisting and stretching is to make it seem like she was just exercising or posing for a pic that would probably be title "Chocolate Buns," given that Cards is still a few bits of visible lingere and shiny, almost transparent densiplas latex away from total nudity.<br/><br/>Or it could be to relieve sympathetic back pains from being in the same room as the very... striking ninja flopped on one of the couches. Just barely over five feet tall, her stark white ninja outfit doesn't just have camel toe because of the woman's massive breasts, it's got a whole camel foot. This is lessened a bit when one of her silvery cyberarms extends and offers Lapine a botttled water. The exact make of the arms escapes Lapine, but she sorta remembers having seen those extensible, store in body arms on sale some time ago.<br/><br/>"So, what brings you here. I thought you had a place." Cards opens up with a simple question.
