TEAM GATHERING

[desertprince04]

OOC: Have a team organized? Meet up with them and plot further here. Or... just grab them and go. Coordinate with other teams if you so wish.

Re: TEAM GATHERING: [PARK] Trowa -> Quatre -> Ed

"Ed, are you OK?" Trowa asked the girl, wondering if he was going too fast for her. He had long legs too, and was much taller than the hacker. But what he had over her on size, she more than made up for with her...liveliness. What she was doing beside him wasn't what Trowa would even call running exactly. But as long as they got to Quatre, and that she didn't break her neck, that was fine.

"Look, there he is," the brunet said, pointing at Quatre as if the Sandrock's pilot didn't stand out where he was waiting at the old stone bridge, his blonde hair contrasting sharply against the relatively drab surroundings. "Quatre!" Trowa shouted, slowing down to a jog.

[OOC: AU!Quatre, right?]

"Wooooo!" Ed just giggled and laughed as she ran along with Trowa, taking this whole running thing as more of a game than something majorly important. She wasn't really running, of course, as she had a tendancy to do something unusual when she moved. Currently, she was alternating between hops, skips, and cartwheels, yet somehow keeping up with the agile pilot. Granted, she wasn't right beside him, perhaps a bit behind, but, still... she was moving fairly fast for not outright running.

"Quat-Quat!!" Ed yelled after Trowa pointed out the blond Arabian.

The way Quatre kept rubbing his chest did not go unnoticed by him, but the taller pilot chose to not say anything about it. It was likely Quatre's empathy was picking something up, but he trusted the blonde would tell them if it was anything problem.

"She hasn't really--" He started to say that they'd been running all along and Ed couldn't have possibly been continuing her tracing all this time...could she? "Have you, Ed?" he asked the girl, though careful not to steal her attention from Quatre.

"Ed know where they came from," she informed the two pilots. "And Long Duo's post doesn't seem to fit how he normally makes things secret." She held up the PDA to Quatre. "See? One post is one he did before... one post is the one Ed hacked. The one Ed hacked doesn't match!" Letting Quatre take the PDA from her, she turned to Trowa.

"Ci-Ci's post was an accident," she then said. "Maybe... kinda hard to tell. The location tag was clinic basement, but there's two voices." Ed frowned a bit. "Ed would need to compare voices to find out who the other voice is... but there's program for that on tiny computers." She looked down for a minute.

"Tiny computers are turned off now... Ed can't trace them unless Keepers have ways to. Ed thinks Idgy can't help... isn't allowed to by Keepers."

"I think she means the communicators," Trowa told Quatre, having been talking for Ed for awhile now to understand Ed-speak a little. Very little. "Who's Idgy, Ed?" he asked her, having never heard of the name. Given, Trowa wasn't the most sociable resident of econtra, but he'd never seen or heard of an Idgy. He might have arrived during Trowa's disappearance. If there was the slightest chance that could help...

"Did you bring a light?" he asked Quatre, knowing the blonde pilot knew better than to come unprepared but needing to double-check anyway. He took two small flashlights from the back of his pants and and handed one to Ed. "Here, Ed," he said, then frowned.

"I've never met the Joker. Do you think we need guns, Quatre? Will they even work against him?" He knew some of the residents were invincible to firepower.

[r4d3d1337h4xx0r]

"Idgy Idgy!" Ed said, as if everyone knew who that was. She then pointed at one of the Keepers hovering over the Obex and grinned. "See?"

She took the offered flashlight and giggled, immediately turning it on and shining it around. She spun and flailed, singing to herself as she held the flashlight and the missing Duo's PDA that Quatre had handed her, having forgotten why Quatre gave it to her.

Their conversation about the Joker was lost to her as she used the flashlight to trace invisible lines on the ground.

"I...suppose I shouldn't have done that," Trowa said, looking uncharacteristically sheepish as he watched the girl bounce around with the light. As the winter mist begin to creep in, the tall pilot wondered if she was cold. She didn't seem to be, but she was wearing so little. He should have thought of grabbing something before they left the apartment. Trowa was used to the cold and usually wore a long-sleeved sweater so he hadn't really thought of it.

Quatre, at least, still had enough sense to bring a coat. The blond could be completely careless of himself during emergencies. He watched him try to get Ed's focus again, before turning on his own light and flashing it at the park before them. It cut brightly through the dim, but only made the darkness on either side of it even darker.

"Indigeo... Idgy..." Ed smiled a bit, turning to face the two of them and unintentionally flashing them both right in the eyes with her flashlight. She thought for a moment. "If Ci-Ci has tiny computer with her, then Ed can find her that way. But, Ed can't find Ci-Ci if she's not on the network." She looked mildly disappointed in that fact, pouting a bit. She wanted to be more help, but there was a limit to her abilities in that regard.

Trowa shielded his eyes as Ed shone the light right into them, definitely regretting his move. He watched Quatre give the girl her coat, and he frowned. Wouldn't the blond be cold? The glance towards him told Trowa that the other pilot was thinking the same thing however, and Trowa discreetly shook his head to tell him that he was fine.

He wasn't entirely sure they were going to get anywhere with this, but it was still a lot better than just sitting around or blindly groping in the dark.

[r4d3d1337h4xx0r]

"Ed can try, yup yup," she said, letting Quatre put the coat on her without too much complaint. "If it's on, Ed can find it. If they turned it off, though~..." Her sing-songy voice let the insinuation hang in the air. She was still a practical child at times, if a bit silly about it. She knew false hope when she saw it, using only to her benefit when absolutely needed, but not hiding from the truth. "Come come! Ed will find them!" She ran off to a nearby bench, sitting on it cross-legged in the snow.
