(Ysadora) The Embassy in Eureka has obviously been disregarded for some time. It looks more like a converted emplacement, a miniature fortress, than it does a diplomatic facility. Still, there's a steady stream of mutants coming and going on business now. It seems like some event must have kicked things into motion here, and a few agents can be seen off to the side of the road unloading crates with Zephyr and RSX logos on them. Prometheans are in evidence as well, easily spotted in their little clusters within the perimeter by their fiery hats. A heavyset little beaver wanders by as you watch, a sash with a maple leaf emblazoned on it wrapped around his chest. Ysadora is waiting for you just outside the entrance. She waves, bouncing on her floating heels, as you approach. "Hey y'all! Thanks for coming. I've been suborned to work for the RSX Ambassador here for a bit, so it's my job to do things like escorting you inside." She looks over the party, eyes lingering a little on Booker with a sly smile. "Oh, and if you have any high explosives, leave 'em outside. Normal weapons and stuff is fine, but they draw the line at anything that could send the Embassy and everyone in it sky high. Does anyone have any questions before we go to meet the Ambassadors?"
(Yew) Yew shook their head. They carried with them naught but the suit on their skin, so they had no need to leave anything behind. They kept silent and waited patiently for more info to be revealed, wondering how much would be left a surprise.
(Junes) Junes nodded and waved to the ghost and poodle, the hoodied chimera getting closer before hearing this and decided to ask "should i leave my bag outside?" seeing booker and brushing a tail on is head "good to see you too!"
(Booker) Booker wandered on up, quietly looking at everyone "Hows everyone doin?" He laughed, returning the pat to Junes head." No explosives? Awww man, He laughed, looking over at Ysadora. "So what all are we doin here?"
(Syntax) Syntax enters the Embassy with a nervous glance around. She wasn't originally on planning on coming, but after thinking on it, why not? She needs to make some more connections among Eureka's political segments.
(Ysadora) There are a pair of serious-looking guards at the Embassy's door. One of them has enormous, hairy arms that would look more appropriate on a gorilla, while the other appears to be a towering humanoid shark. Both are carrying assault weapons, but they nod Ysadora through with only a passing glance as she leads the group through the entrance. "Well, I'm not sure about the exact job. It's all hush-hush, you know, and it's from Alvin. Uh, he's the Zephyr Ambassador, while I'm working for Eve, the RSX Ambassador. They don't exactly get along, so I'm surprised she let me help out on this one, actually." The interior of the building is obviously undergoing some renovations. A few offices off the main hallway are being gutted, with new desks and equipment crowding the corridor, ready to be put in. Eventually, the ghost leads you to a cramped working space near the back of the building. It's just barely got enough room for the two desks crammed in there, only one of which is occupied. A small man, only slightly taller than your guide, stands up and approaches. He's wearing a pair of round spectacles on the tip of his human nose, but below the waist his body flares out into a skunk's hindquarters, complete with a fluffy tail that bobs behind him as he walks.
(Ysadora) "Ah, thank you for coming," the man says in a reedy voice. "Alvin Bell, Zephyr Ambassador. A pleasure to make your acquaintance." He tucks a lock of white curls behind his ear, hiding it among the otherwise black hair on his head. "I presume you're the ones who signed up for our little task, hm?"
(Yew) Yew steps into the embassy, gawking at its interior and trying to avert their eyes from the tougher looking inhabitants. Yew nods to the skunk-man, continuing to stay silent for now. They didn't know quite what they had signed up for, but they didn't care much. They figured the job would be reletavely safe, and that it was a good excuse to learn more about the city.
(Junes) Junes nodded and handed the guards their rocket launcher, grenades and...a leaf in a bag "ill be back for those but take care of the leaf, it's sentimental alright?" before briskly walking back to the group and hearing the name of the zephyr ambassador they were thinking of a rodent before seeing the half-skunk and with a glance simply said "hey" to him
(Booker) Booker Also handed over a rocket launcher. He followed after Junes, giving a casual wave to the ambassador. "How's it goin?" He said in smalltalk, glancing at the group that had appeared. He looked to Ysadora afterwards. "So..." He trailed off.
(Syntax) Syntax smiles and nods to the half-skunk and inwardly hopes she isn't recognized. "Ah, pleasure to meet ye. Wasn't aware Zephyr had personnel here."
(Ysadora) Ysadora meets Booker's eyes and shrugs.
(Ysadora) The skunk satyr looks you all over carefully, although no signs of recognition are visible on his tight features. "Yes, well, I'm sure you're all curious about what the job is, exactly. It's quite simple, actually. You see-"
(Ysadora) He's interrupted by the door flying open as a towering, amazonian woman bursts through. As tall and powerful as she's built, she's dwarfed next to Umeko, who walks in shortly after. "I found another one, Al," she says shortly, before sitting down in the other desk. Kicking her feet up, she glares at the Zephy Ambassador, who is obviously put out by the interruption.
(Umeko) Umeko ended up running behind the others as she got held up in the security line while temporarily handing over her explosives, and her other explosives, and her gun-attached explosives, and her explosive knife, and so forth. She gave a little wave to the group and made her way into the room to quietly join them, acting like nothing had happened.
