She's all smiles, fawning over the displays like any of the enthralled sheeple that wander the area, and sticks close to Skinny's side throughout.Her sunglasses tick merrily though, overlaying augmented reality across what she sees. With a few discrete control motions, she clicks past the many layers of promotional material; advertisements and cartoon characters and embedded captions that give inane descriptions of the long and noble history of the drink's conception and execution. A custom AR filter instead counts heads to get a crowd estimate, and creates a quick and dirty topography map of the public showroom area as she looks around. She zooms in on the goons guarding the entrance to the showroom and gets still shots and a little vid footage of some of the press staff going in. All that done, she marks entrances and exits, with some quick, furtive stills of the emergency exits taken as she walked around the building with Skinny. Then Casper turns her attention from getting back there, to staying unseen. The easiest way to do that, she knew, was to not be where people expected you to be. In most cases, that meant going vertical. With her glasses, a quick glance could become a photograph she could view without anyone noticing a thing. She started getting a series of shots of the ceiling and floor.A big event like this had a ton of electronics, wires, lights, all stashed out of sight. The prettiness was an elaborate facade pasted over the top of a big, churning machine of images. There should be little ways for the crew running the event to slip into those guts, to address problems or move quickly and quietly from one place to another without being seen by the audience. Nothing wrecked immersion like seeing someone rushing around. It made people wonder if something was wrong. And for her purposes, it was great, because what let crew move around unseen might let her and Skinny move around unseen.Her knife of course is hidden inside the hem of her jeans down at her ankle, and she has her taser on its slide rig up her jacket's sleeve. The crossbow and heavy pistol are back in the car for now.</blockquote>
