The reports said that the antique shop was not to far from the Toy factory, in fact it was rather easy to spot. Considering it already had a few clockwork foxes standing guard around the place, armed with makeshift weapons they found around or just with their claws. A few Zeyphr employees were already near, milling around an alleyway justy outside the guards field of vision.
Intent on beating Zeyphr to the punch, Savi arrives at the site she pulled off her pirate com link, glad she just happened to be nearby. Surveying the location carefully, the masked and leather shrouded survivalist tries to size up the situation. With two of her arms crossd behind her back, and two through the only set of sleeves on her jacket, she casually pats down her pockets in a practices fashion, checking for the umpteenth time all her gear is in place. Satisfied (for the moment) she sighs hoping this doesn't come to violence, as she has always liked the clockwork things. Raising one hand above her head, and opening the fingers, then closing them in her traditional 'wave' Savi approaches the armed foxes speaking clearly despite the mask. "So... when do you open?" she asks calmly.
Macaci humms gently as she walks up to the scene, her visor pulled down over her eyes as she mumbles to herself, a little curious why Zephyr employees would need help greeting a group of foxes. She shrugs her shoulders gently though as she dismisses the thoughts, her right hand slipping under her guitar strap as she stops a good few feet from the stores entrance and looks up. "Antiques?" She tilts her head for a moment, trying to ponder if that meant there could be musical instruments inside... Though, when Savi speaks up, her gaze flicks to the plant. Offering a gentle wave and smile before looking at the guards to see if they were going to respond with hostility.
Dragonscales alights lightly on a rooftop across the street. Shi had heard about this little incursion from the guys in the lobby, and wanted to check it out. Shi traced hir hand over the pomel of hir sword and dropped into the street, landing lightly next to Macaci. "Hey Macaci. What brings you here. And what's the deal with these guys?" Shi asks, one hand on hir hip and the other having a thumb hooked thru the combat strap of hir Torque Bow, in case it came to violence.
Alkain flaps his wings to slow his descent before he lands near the entrance and takes a look around, before approaching the guards with a wave, "Er, hello there." he's heard of the mission and decided to join, despite not being a part of Zephyr
Winter had been close by when the call came in. She, too, had a keen interest in these clockwork machines. She knew next to nothing about technology but people kept telling her to keep an open mind. Besides, that friendly plant girl was here too. Well, friendly if you were on her side atleast. So, with that, the demoness steps forwards, armed and clothed as usual in nothing at all, to stand besides Savi, taking a moment to nod in greeting at the others persent. "Hey you. So.. what do you think this is all about?" she asks in a hushed voice.
Kori had been taking a walk, a very long walk. Radios were chattering about the activity but it wasn't hir concern and shi wasn't paying attention to it. Most things in the city were crazy anyway so why would shi bother unless it was a an invasion of giant praying mantises? Of course hir little world also made hir oblivious to things in front of hir since shi was too busy looking at the sky to notice the crowd in front of -OOF!- .... Hir. And down shi went onto hir fluffy butt with a thump. "Ow.. What the?"
Reports of another group of folks forming, this time mostly of clockwork foxes, while normally wouldn't peak Buzamu's interesting, but the fact that Zephyr was scrambling folks to get in on the front door had Buzamu slightly nervous. It wasn't as bad as say RSX, or as good as teh Prommies, but hell, who knew. As it was, Buzamu could tell it was fairly crowded already, and figured to do less about that crowding, by specifically not being part of it.
So, alighting upon a nearby building, Buzamu unslung her rifle, and rested it against the 'lip' of the roof, settled her armored form into a comfortable position to watch, and pulls out a pair of binos and started to observe. Sure, she'd have trouble hearing from this distance, but overly agressive or agitated motions would be enough for her to know something was going wrong.
Every clockwork head turned to those approaching, hands moving to weapons as they stand as still as statues. The front door of the building was reinforced with wood and scrap metal, but it was easy to see there was a slot at the top that could be opened to see outside, and at that moment the slot opens. "What do you want?" Came a harsh voice from the otherside of the door as the guards kept their gaze on the group, waiting to see if they were friend or foe.
Macaci blinks as the slot opens and a harsh voice speaks out. Macaci waves slightly as she carefully avoids the distracted Kori and walks forward, unarmed unless one considers a guitar a weapon in this day and age. "Hi there! I'm Macaci, and uh... well I suppose I'm dropping by to say hello and welcome you!" Her lips spreading into a genuine grin as she clasps her hands infront of her chest. "... Also I may be a little curious if you are selling anything like musical instruments, or old music sheets perhaps?" Can't miss this opportunity.
Dragonscales looks a little closer at the guards, and also at the newcomers, particularly the one on the roof. Shi could see the barrel of a gun peeking over the lip, just barely visible. As shi contemplated getting a closer look something bumped into hir leg from behind. Hand flying to the hilt of hir sword the equine whirled around, half-drawing the blade but stopping as shi saw that the intruder was a not a threat, but rather a small felinoid sitting on its ass after running into hir leg. "Are you ok, little one?" Scales says, offering hir hand and squatting down. Hir ears pricked back and shi turned hir head towards the voice from the building, but otherwise didn't answer them.
Alkain hmms? at the guardedness of the group and sighs as he looks over to the others, "Well, I'm here because I'm curious about you guys... And if you need anything..." he smiles and shrugs as he watches the clockwork foxes
Winter bends down to peek into the tiny doorslit. "Yes! We just wanted to say hi. We heard you set up shop here and figured we'd come visit. See what you're up to and such. I mean, not spying on you or anything like that. Who said anything about spying? We would never!" the succubus says helpfully.
Buzamu continues watching, watching as both groups seem to be a be confused or tense. But all in all, it was amusing to watch some of the motions and antics. God, it was odd. Buzamu almost felt like she was an insurgeant waiting for that 'prime' moment to hit a Coalition convoy back in the Middle East.
Kori huffs. Sure, call hir little. Shi was just a little light right now. Not exactly little. Hir mood seemed a bit soured by the crack about how shi seemed a bit small. Okay aybe shi was light and easily knocked around at the moment...ohdamnit...getting absorbed in hir own thoughts again. Don't be rude, take the hand and get up. "I will be. This is...what is this? I don't even... What are these things doing outside of the toy factory?" A good question. Very good.
