Freedom City PBP

[Insight]

Freedom Zoo, Feb 14, Afternoon

Century Girlstudies the empty display case for the Bolyeria Multocarinata wondering what exactly was suppoused to be in it and if it had anythingto do with the missing little girl. When the cellphone rings the supergirl looks to her ally and then shugs, wondering if he had friends or a familiy. While waiting for him to handle his call she made her way over to the Docent, Brent.

"Hi, I'm Century Girl, I was hoping that you could maybe help me with something Brent. Its about this exhibit. I was wondering if you could tell me whats suppoused to be in that display over there, its the only empty one, and the scientific name just sort of goes right over my head." she says pointing out the empty display. "Is it suppoused to be empty?"

Docent Brent smiles as Century Girl approaches. "Hey, are you a superhero or something... or, sorry, superheroine?". The early 20-something zoo employee is definitely checking out Century Girl.

"Oh, yeah, the Bolyeria Multocarinata," he continues. Brent walks over to the empty exhibit. "They've been planning to put one in here, I guess. I'm a zoology student at Freedom City University, actually I was thinking of going into heptology as a specialization. I like snakes. Anyway, the Bolyeria Multocarinata is also known as the Round Island Boa or also the Fossorial Boa. It's on the IUCN list of threatened species. I guess there's not that many of them in the world. It would be a major coup if we got one."

He turns to once again look at Century Girl. "But, this enclosure has been empty since the place was built almost a year ago. Dunno if maybe they are trying to get the boa, or maybe if they are going to replace it with a different species."

Glory grabs his non-aerial friend and takes off toward the Zoo.

During the flight, Mnemonic couldn't help to take in ALL the details from this new perspective. Maybe someday he could get himself a skycycle like he saw Bowman ride in news footage. The sensation was exhilarating!

Century Girl smiles at Brent encouragingly, "Yes, I'm a superhero. The exact word isn't really important, its what you do after all, not what you call yourself. Its sort of the family business I guess you could call it. You can probably guess who my father was, they just had the redidication of his statue in Memorial Park." the girl says, twirling around so that the docent could see all of her costume, also giving a good look at her shapely figure though that wasn't the point of it.

"The Entrapper and I are looking for clues about that little girl that went missing, the empty display just caught my eye was all. Have you seen anything wierd since you disappeared, or before it maybe? Anything even slightly out of the ordinary? It could be a really big help to me."

Entrapper gives Century Girl some space to see what she can pull out of the docent, going off to search around the exhibit and paying particular attention to the mini-mayan pyramid.
He'll stay within earshot of their conversation though.

"Just a minute" Bastion says as he rushes over to the flower shop and pays for a bouquet of frangapani and hibiscus to be delivered to Leilua with a note saying "E ku'u ipolani, aloha nui au ia 'oe, I may be late tonight"

He then rushes back and again makes a leap into the air letting himself feel the swirl and flow of energy as he rides up to follow the others...

"An interesting courting ritual, Valentine's Day...It has it's roots in Lupercalia; an ancient Roman festival held annually on Feb. 15. The ceremony of the festival was intended to secure fertility and keep out evil. Two male youths, clad in animal skin, ran around the city slapping passersby with strips of goat skin. Because the youths impersonated male goat, the ceremony was believed to be in honor of Faunus. The festival survived into Christian times and was not abolished until the end of the 5th century by Pope Gelasius I; who recast the pagan festival as a Christian feast day in circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine's Day. Of course it was not associated with love until the 14th century..." Mnemonic shrugged and cut himself off. "This is my first...That I can remember anyway. Should I be sending someone flowers?"

Nanite gives the memory man a wry smile as the fly their way to the zoo. He nods sagely at Mnemonic's summary of Valentine's Day as if he had any idea what the man was talking about.

"Welcome to the world we live in. I like to call it 'Singles Awareness Day'. It's that special day when all the people who have someone get together and make all of us who have nobody painfully aware of that fact. Buy yourself some chocolate tomorrow, friend. It'll be on sale."

OOC: I fixed Century Girl's quote. It was misleading as written

Brent paces. "Emily Diaz? Well, as I'm sure you've heard, the police were all over the zoo. I don't know if they found anything, but from what I hear, they didn't."

He stops at the empty display. "An uncle of mine is a detective on the Freedom City PD. I wonder if he could help."

"To answer your question, I haven't seen anything all that strange around the zoo," the docent continues. "I think they are doing some renovations around here though. We've been closing the snake exhibit an hour earlier for the past month with no real explanation. But... I haven't seen any construction workers or anything come in and do anything. Odd."

The Entrapper's head swivels back toward the docent and Century Girl for a minute. interesting...

Then he returns his attention to searching the exhibit, starting with the mini-mayan pyramid.
