What followed after they made their selection was a short montage of time passing as they made their way through the streets of the Shopping District, asking around about the Sky-Fire Protector.  Aika did manage to find a group of girls who had run into her after their mostly fruitless morning asking around the freed portion of the neighborhood.<br/><br/>"...you're sure it was her?"  One of the three ladies nodded her head vigorously.  "Yeah, my college club mate and I were headed home after a night out partying and we ran into some of those Fang Brotherhood guys.  My friend, he studied a little martial arts in middle school, but it was looking like they were going to take me somewhere and then BAM!  One of them gets nailed with lightning!"<br/><br/>"Can you describe her?"  Another nod.  "Yeah, it was kind of dark, so I didn't get a good look at her face, but I can tell you some stuff.  She has blue hair - lighter blue - tied up on both sides.  And she's about our age."  That tracked with what they knew about Sky-Fire.  "Anything else?"<br/><br/>"Mhm!  She was wearing this really short and tight suit, with long gloves.  It had a logo on it - a smiley face surrounded by fire."<br/><br/>"Hey, I know that!  That's the Goodsmile Racing logo," one of the other two girls chimed in.  A racing...gears were turning inside Aika's head.  Maybe, just maybe...  "What can you tell me about Goodsmile Racing?"<br/><br/>"They're a professional racing company; I've seen them compete before."  So...more gears turning.  "Would you be able to buy a suit with their logo?"  Second girl shook her head.  "No way.  I mean, there's plenty of merch out there with their brand on it, but a suit like that?  Definitely not!"  Aika turned back to the first girl.  "Anything else you can tell me about the clothes?"<br/><br/>"Yeah!  The gloves, they were white, except for the fingers.  Those were black."<br/><br/>"Okay, thanks," she let them go as Joy approached her, talking to her about the club.  "There's more.  Those girls, they said that Sky-Fire wears a suit with the Goodsmile Racing logo on it, and that it's not for sale on the open market.  I think our protector might be a race queen, too."<br/><br/>Choices, choices...they could check out the club, or maybe they could find her at a street race.  Either way...both Exalted found themselves looking at the map once more.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">AFTERNOON<br/><br/>KICK ASS<br/>TRAIN<br/>INVESTIGATE<br/>WORK</tt>
