<strong>Ada (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Ada's surprise caught the guy on the ground before he could as much as yell, looking up at her frightenedly and then stuttering. "We were asked to study the objects and reassemble them, I am not sure what it does when its completed, but the orb we just received seems to be core of it." He explained frightenedly. He might have tried to deny something but the vines were clear enough reason to stop such thoughts on the spot.<br/><br/>"We're supposed to get last part tomorrow..." He started, when Ada could see another guy in the room near the doorway, and pause in surprise on noticing the two, stunned silent at that sight.<br/><br/>At that time the sound of scooters leaving began to make loud noise, someone's idea of trying to be loud and rebellious, but lacking the machiery they would have needed to suit that style. The youth was leaving, heading off, and even if the guy had shouted it might have been buried under the racket for that moment.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>The Anima (LA)</strong><br/><br/>Floating in the air the Shaman smirked and nod, then turning to face the large ape. "Agreed with that Jack, lets blow this joint." She offered a hand out, starting to fly ahead again, the storm already well over the city by now, seeming to be reaching the other end soon. "Lets speed this up and get out of here then." She spoke and offered her hand, while her flight began to accelerate somewhat, but flying close enough to reach from the edge, at least if Jack chased her. Smirking, holding the amr out, seeming to expect to be able to carry him along wherever she was headed.<br/><br/>Then again, there was a good row of rooftops at roughly the same level ahead, and not much space between them either in case Jack prefered to keep feet on solid ground.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Paradox (LA)</strong><br/><br/>As J7 headed out there Carter gave a wave after him. "Name's in the book, among the three-hundred other Carters." His tone was joking again as he nod. Turning to go, he apparently 'happened' to lean on the director's doorway for a while, while Paradox transmitted to White while walking outwards. The hallways beyond the red tape revealed a rather well-funded, clean research hospital, looking like it was in a fine shape and with clients relaxed in their rooms.<br/><br/>"Good morning doctor." One of the passing nurses smiled at him, giving him a look of appraising the man very quickly in the passing but not trying anything more, carrying a few paper files in her arms as she headed on, the red hair bound to a loose rogue knot behind her, her brown eyes trailing him even as he passed.<br/><br/>The walk outside from the enclosed area led to space without guards blocking the way, and Paradox reached the front-desk of the place when he could notice an alarm issued upstairs, but it would take a while for it to get through while Paradox was in the system as well. Crossing the reception, Paradox reached the doors that slid open and the light wind greeted him.<br/><br/>New York was alive and practically swamped in people, and the skies were blue, what showed amidst light coating of clouds at that moment.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Dominic (Philadelphia)</strong><br/><br/>After Dominic had finished the preparations for the tomorrow and waited around in his bed, the news were covering the earlier day occurences, listing the events. Military fighter-planes had been called in action after the storm-chaser plane had photographed a metahuman in the middle of the storm, and on a nearby rooftop a pair of other people. One from behind, so it was hard to get any details other than an attractive female form but so covered in clothes in the rain that it didn't allow any identification from that distance, and the other a large ape that seemed to be talking with the woman flying in the air.<br/><br/>"The metahuman who did this is being sought after, and the government has raised its preparedness, announcing intention to respond to any hostile actions by metahumans by necessary force. The airforce showing its strength with a pair of air-superiority fighters has been so far considered a weak gesture given the metahuman woman made her escape before authorities could respond."<br/><br/>"In other news, Channel 56 would like to take 1 minute silence to remember our beloved On-Site anchor Johnny Mannix, who was killed when his news-chopper was struck by a lightning bolt in LA earlier today during the storm. Mannix left a wife and two children behind." The image showed a young, attractive man in a clean, nice suit, and shots of his family and him, plus an image of him at several local sites in LA and near it, interviewing people and looking like a Saint.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><em>@Marie's Office</em><br/><br/>"I think we should drop the bombs one at a time. I think you could change enough for the shoot to imitate every one of the women well but so that it looks to people like it might have been done by makeup and lot of work. I imagine you can do far better than that but leave them uncertain, hungering for more." She smiled at Val as she was planning, before the name made her blink.<br/><br/>"Ravencliff doesn't do small budget films, he makes bigger ones. If you get in with him, prepare to lose those forms you invest in that project, for several weeks at minimum, might be several months. Last 3 movies he's made have sold in Asian market and in Europe very well, though not as much in the U.S. He has some strange ideas but he is good, and the pay matches the work usually. Its upto you, it will tie 'you' up a bit but its work that would get your face known in Asian side at least, and in Europe." Marie seemed a bit excited but also wondering. "His timing couldn't be worse though, just as we are about to bring you out he has to appear -before- that. Its almost too well timed if you ask me. Are you sure your secret hasn't gotten out?"<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Several messages from Timothy to get in touch with him, and another male voice from someone sounding like they were his friend, saying that a guy they like had recommended her for adult features and that based on the picture they had gotten she would be invited to come up but they'd need one without clothes to know if they could hire her. Based on how the guy sounded, it was pretty clear he was waiting to see her as much as Timothy was.<br/><br/>Googling around for jobs found some small auditions all around the NYC area, and a broadway announcement of cancellation with a reason given the actress breaking her leg 2 weeks before the opening.<br/><br/>Googling the fellow that Val was speaking of at LA with Marie produced a list of 20 movies produced internationally, some in Arabia and some in Asia, and a few more in East Europe. Looked like the guy was involved in a number of different movie sorts, from romantic, tragic stories to mysteries and suspense. He was not A-List, barely B-List in U.S but internationally his movies sold very well. It seemed the latest pictures in China had elevated 2 actors to 'stardom' there.
