Avalynn frantically tosses her phone onto the couch, pacing back and forth.
if it's someone connected to the resort, then they probably have a physical address on file somewhere
smirks and starts searching online Alright, let's dig up some dirt on this resort. We need to find out who we're dealing with.
yup, and i'm gonna start calling the resort's business partners and asking if they've ever dealt with a PR firm or contractor recently
hunches over her laptop, typing furiously Alright, MysticalWaterfall, time to get our detective hats on. Let's start by searching for any recent contracts or partnerships the resort has had.
yeah, i found a potential lead. one of the largest PR firms in town just donated a bunch of money to the resort's charity branch
jumps up from her seat, excitement in her voice Holy shit, MysticalWaterfall! We've got a lead!
hm, looks like their office is in the city. so the PR firm is called "Ace Media", yeah?
grinning mischievously Ace Media, huh? Well, MysticalWaterfall, looks like we've got ourselves a target.
alright, so we're going to Ace Media's office tomorrow?
starts packing her bag with determination You bet your ass we're heading to Ace Media's office, MysticalWaterfall.
alright, so we're doing this tomorrow?
Damn straight, MysticalWaterfall! We're gonna expose their dirty tricks and bring them to the ground. Get ready for a wild ride!
alright, let's pack our bags for tomorrow then
squeals with excitement Hell yeah, MysticalWaterfall! Let's pack our bags and get ready to kick some ass tomorrow!
yup, we're definitely gonna have to take some self-defense gear since we don't know what kind of thugs this PR firm might be
throws a couple of black leather jackets and gloves into her bag Self-defense gear? Child's play, MysticalWaterfall.
rummages through her bag, pulling out a small pocket knife Never underestimate me, MysticalWaterfall. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
do you think we should alert the police about this too?
Nah, no need for the cops just yet, MysticalWaterfall. Let's handle this ourselves first.
k, so we're only taking the two bikes then?
throws a helmet towards MysticalWaterfall Two bikes? Hell no, let's take the whole damn garage! We're making a statement, baby!
oh, right. the garage. how many bikes do we have anyway?
laughs Oh, you think that tiny garage has just two bikes? Honey, we're talking about a whole damn bike collection here!
alright, so let's grab the four road bikes and put the mountain bikes and dirt bikes on the top shelf in the garage so they're out of the way
picks up a sleek sports bike Road bikes it is then, MysticalWaterfall! We'll show these losers what real power is!
yup, and we should also probably tell the neighbors that we're leaving just in case some weirdo tries to break in or something
waves her hand dismissively Nah, don't bother the neighbors with our drama, MysticalWaterfall. They know better than to stick their noses in our business.
alright, so i'm assuming we're probably gonna have to use fake names at the hotel? maybe "Heather" and "Ava"?
The next day, Avalynn and IllusiveLakes arrive at Ace Media's office, determined to uncover the truth behind the resort's shady dealings. However, they are met with unexpected resistance from the firm's security guards, leading to a tense standoff.
hm, they don't want us in. guess we'll have to use our secret agent skills to sneak in then. you ready to use your "feminine charm" on anyone who tries to stop us, Ava?
smirks Oh, you know it, MysticalWaterfall! I've got a whole bag of tricks just waiting to be unleashed.
i just hope the security guards aren't too strong. i feel like i might break a bone if i try to fight anyone
winks Strong? Pssh, please. Those security guards don't stand a chance against my charm, MysticalWaterfall. We're getting in there, no matter what.
k, here goes nothing then
struts up to the security guards, batting her eyelashes Hey there, handsome. Looking sharp today, don't you think? So, uh, my friend and I were just thinking about stopping by for a little chat with your boss. Mind if we come in? Security Guard 1: leans against the desk, crossing his arms I don't think so. Without an appointment, it's not possible to just barge in here. And even if you did have one, I highly doubt our boss would be willing to speak with...well, let's say 'unsolicited visitors'. Avalynn: smirks, leaning closer to the guards Unsolicited visitors, huh? Well, let me tell you, boys, we've got something that's gonna make you rethink your stance on visitors. How about I show you a little trick, just to change your minds? pulls out her pocket knife and flicks it open
gasp woahhh! where did you get that knife from? did you steal it from the kitchen drawer or something?
smirking Steal it from the kitchen drawer? Please, MysticalWaterfall, I've got more creative places for my pocket knives.
oh yeah? so where'd you get it from?
grins mischievously Let's just say I have my ways of acquiring things that catch my eye. Besides, a girl's gotta keep herself protected, right?
fair point. that's seriously the coolest pocket knife i've ever seen though. it's so... slim! do you have other slim objects that you hide in your jacket pockets?
Slim objects, huh? Well, MysticalWaterfall, you know what they say: 'A little bit of mystery goes a long way.' But I guess you'll just have to keep guessing what other slim objects I have stashed away. winks
you can't resist showing off your cool stuff, can you? i bet you have a whole collection of slim, handy knives hidden in your pockets. and i bet you even have some nifty gadgets that you like to show off too
laughs You guessed it, MysticalWaterfall! I've got a whole arsenal of slim, handy knives hidden in my pockets.
can i see them? please? i really wanna see what kind of knives you have hidden in your pockets
grins mischievously Well, I guess you'll just have to take a peek then. But don't get any ideas, MysticalWaterfall. These babies are not to be played with. takes out a small leather pouch from her pocket and opens it, revealing an assortment of sleek, high-end pocket knives Ta-da! Meet my baby collection. What do you think?
damn, that's pretty amazing. now i'm kinda jealous. i wish i could carry around a collection of neat knives without people thinking i'm crazy
smirks Well, if you really want a collection of neat knives, I could teach you a thing or two, MysticalWaterfall. After all, sharing is caring, right?
