It's a fine and temperate morning in Cantilados. The skies are overcast with clouds, but there is neither a chill nor warmth overpowering the air; just so-so all around, hardly perceptible. Curtains are still drawn, cars are still lined up on the curb, parking tickets lined up against their windshields like a vibrant uniform. And it's early enough for the streets to only start becoming lively with commuters. Soon enough, the buses will go from ghost-empty to jam-packed. The city has yet to wake up; but you already have. How do you get ready in the morning? -# Please tell me. [You may respond.] -# @💼 Bokutachi @🍜 Kimira

Zachary woke up at his usual 6:00, before sunrise. Showered, got dressed in the usual office collared shirt, tie, slacks, and coat. Ate breakfast oatmeal, with peeled tangerine slices for vitamin C, and a boiled egg on the side for protein. Before leaving his apartment, he took an umbrella, hung on a rusty hook by the door, with him. (edited)

It takes effort to look like yourself. When you finally pull yourself from bed, stop to re-tuck the covers around the person sleeping next to you. Whisper a good morning then kiss him goodbye. Wash the sleep off of your features with cold water and let out a yawn. Shave the away the parts of you that don't align with what's right, cover up any pesky identifiers. When all of this is done, don your favorite, most comfortable disguise and eat a quick breakfast. One final check in the mirror before stepping out the door. Adjust your glasses, smooth out your blazer, do nothing about your hair. When the door swings shut behind you, you're exactly who you need to be.

Her first big mission~ How wonderful, how exciting~ To be entrusted with such an important task~ She's awakes when the sun does. No line to the bathroom yet. She brushes her teeth and rinses her face. Brushes her hair. Moisturizes her cheeks. Her melodic humming echoes in the hallways. A little stretching session on the roof doesn't hurt, either. And then she is off. Perhaps she catches some familiar face(s) on her way out. She'll wave hello then follows beside you (all), her hand clasped together behind her as little crinkles form around her smiling eyes. Oh, she's so excited~

There's something about waking up before the city starts to breathe life into the streets that Hotaru finds nostalgic. Maybe it's the quiet, peaceful air that drifts about the apartment complex. Maybe it's the way the street lamps flicker off as the sun rises. Maybe, it's just the quiet itself that she finds comforting. Since coming to Cantilados, her morning routine has seen some changes. It's simple now. At 6:00, she slides out of bed, reaching blindly for her glasses and slippers. She takes a few steps around her small apartment, memorized by now: two steps to the left for a bag of toiletries and three to the right for her clothes. She heads to the communal bathroom, washing her face and going through the usual routine. And a quick shower and blow-dry later, she's ready for the day in her crisp blazer and typical accessories. A simple routine, in preparation for the chaos ahead.

He wakes up at 5:30. Rolls out of bed with a stretchy yawn. Sun's not entirely up yet, but he's used to that. Still half asleep and blinking crust out of his eyes, Frankie step-stumbles towards the corner of the room where he keeps his socks. One gets tugged on, then another. A yawnnnn. Shorts. A shirt gets loosely pulled on over his head. Mmg. He yawns again, then slides on slippers and heads towards the bathroom. Turns the tap on in the morning dark. Tssssssschhhhhh. He reaches out, pooling the water in his hands. Splashes it on his face, and feels a little more awake. Then, raising his head to look at himself in the bathroom mirror... Huh. That's some bed head. -# Credit to Xavi for the comm smiles

Somewhere along the way, on your separate ways to the meeting spot, your paths convene. One after the other. You end up being able to walk together for the last couple of minutes. Isn't that nice?

Frankie goes on a run, and by the time he comes back, the bedhead is better. He takes a shower, and with some steam and some combing, it's almost managable... A cowlick pops out. The corner of his mouth pulls to the side in a tch. Well, no time for more adjustments. Frankie throws on a suit - the green one he came to Cantilados in, now free of bloodstains - and heads on over to the meeting spot.

A man silently stands by the shed. He's wearing a typical white button-up and black tie ensemble with his black hair tied back in a short, prickly ponytail. Rimless glasses hang down his nose, framing dark eyes with even darker under-eye circles beneath them. He's not particularly tall for a man, but not short either - 5'7" and with a slight hunch, his head pointing down in front of him, as if it was too heavy to be kept up by his frail and slight-looking body. His wrists are thin. His pants are on the baggier side, bunching around his ankles, hanging over polished dark oxfords, creased over the heel. He carries a large black briefcase with him. No doubt an office worker. The only remarkable thing about him is the mole on his cheek. You've seen a thousand men like these before, and you likely would strain to pick him out from a crowd in a convention.

There are several kinds of targets of interest. Some are loud, boisterous, drawing attention. One's job would generally be to stave off the wrong kinds of that attention. Another common kind is overly nervous, unsure of how to respond around company. Afraid for their lives. And there are those that already don't stand out in a crowd.

At the very least, he doesn't seem suspicious. At worst, he seems... maybe unaware of the depth of the situation that he is in. That's just judging based on his outfit, his demeanor, the fact he works in a dinky little tech company. It's not clear at all how he's involved with the syndicates, or why his life is being threatened, or to what extent... if he's acting like this. But of course, appearances are just one thing.

You arrive at the office. It's a nondescript concrete building like any other, with a ginormous laser-cut sign stuck to the side to indicate the presiding business. KANAN TECHNOLOGIES. They have so many patents for things you wouldn't even realize are patented. Yet nobody knows or cares about this company. It's not a household name. Sometimes the backbones of are society are like that. Haha.

It's about what you'd expect from a normal pencil-pusher office. There are gigantic windows off to the farthest wall that overlook the business district. Cubicles are lined down row-by-row, with people in business clothes seated in front of their computer monitors. Some are taking calls - yes, please hold - while others are simply clacking away. Little differences separate each cubicle from the other; a little bit of sports magazine clippings here or there, or handmade arts-and-crafts presumably from a child family member-- so on and so forth. Towards the back-left-side of the compound of cubicles, Cade stops by the opening of one with absolutely no decoration, save for a single picture frame by the PC monitor.

A digital quiz opens - about what you'd expect to see in a test booklet or teen magazine or dmv demographics form. The questions are printed at the top, with a column of different answers being indicated with clickable bullet point bubbles, followed by a 'next' button. Seems like you can't go back. Cade starts answering the questions.

Cade opens up the spreadsheets program on his PC, and it automatically loads in the last dataset he was working on. Monthly Report.xls. Sounds about right. There's numbers populating each cell. Seems about right. He opens the solitaire program next. Wordlessly. For later. @Rey โœจHotaru

You're a Chinese Giant Salamander. The Chinese giant salamander is one of the largest salamanders and one of the largest amphibians in the world. Chinese giant salamanders are solitary and territorial. They are aggressive defenders of their dens, especially males guarding eggs, and will secrete a milky white mucus to ward off predators. During mating season, they exhibit specific courtship behaviors, but otherwise live a solitary, elusive existence. Like the Chinese Giant Salamander, you are the 'loner' type, often finding solace in yourself. You fiercely protect what is yours. When you come across people who you consider your own, you'll also stop at nothing to protect them. Chinese Giant Salamanders are the best friends you could have - loyal, intense, and independent.

... You arrive at a HK-style seafood restaurant. You'll find the typical assortment of Chinese food here, from candied fish to fried rice to soup dumplings. Meals are served on a round table with a rotating glass centerpiece, dim-sum style. It's a little bit on the dingier side, but it's as lively as ever. You'll soon learn why, as Cade stops by a banner posted up in front on the side of the entrance.

You return to the office with Cade. The rest of his work hours until 5:00 unfold in about the same manner as the morning did. You'll find that he does do his work, though, on the occassion; and when he does, he seems competent. Competent enough to not get fired - competent enough for his eccentricities to be excused.
6:45 PM
He really is an accountant, more or less...
6:45 PM
Once he clocks out, you all go back down to the first floor and make your way to the bus stop. You're back where you started.
6:45 PM
And then, instead of parting ways, he continues to walk under the presumption that you all will follow.
6:45 PM
You keep walking. You eventually make it to a high-rise apartment building. Cade pulls out a set of keys for the front doors.
6:45 PM
He lets you all in. The main lobby is illuminated by a warm yellow light. White-and-black marbled tiles line the floors. There are double elevators. The front-desk reception seat is empty. Cade says nothing much. He shuffles over and presses the 'up' button on the elevator. The light sticks. You hear it shunt down from behind the metal doors, and then the doors open. And he steps in, turning around to face you all.

Yukito Kinoshita lives on the 12th floor. The apartment is generally nicer than yours (by a lot,) but it's also not what one would consider a luxury apartment. The doors are black with little metal numbers on them. He stops at 124, pointing his keys into the doorknob.
6:46 PM
You enter Cade's apartment.
6:47 PM
It's a rather spacious apartment - in the sense that it had one of those modern open floorplans. The kitchen and living room spaces were merged together. To the left were two doors- one, presumably leading to Cade's bedroom. To the right, down a narrow hall, was another door attached to one side; flat against the wall was an ornate chest-drawer. On it is a little shrine in the form of a platter and a framed photograph, with offerings placed on the platter. Incense sits steeply pointed up in an ashy pot, unlit. His living room comprises of a long black couch, coffee table, TV table but no television set. Instead, a small radio sits propped on the TV table, next to a laser disc player and sound system. There are very little personal effects. The framed pictures on the wall are generic, and you get the sense they came with the apartment. There is a single framed photo on the TV table. Across from you are large windows looking out across Cantilados.

Hold on. They've been tasked in this guy's protection "until the threat has been neutralized." So how long is that going to be? They should have put him on the team hunting down the threat instead, Frankie thinks. That would have been a better fit. Frankie stretches an arm over his chest, his wrist pushing on his forearm as the muscle draws out. His eyes roll to the side. "Your ice cream offer still good?" That's all he gives in the way of responses. @li 🚭 five (kazik)

He tilts his head. "I see." He figured as much, so. "I have extra toiletries and loungewear. I apologize if it's not to your liking." @hina 🌼 almond @Rey โœจHotaru Not very long, Frankie. Don't worry. He blinks, turning his attention over. "...Of course." He pads over to get that taken care of. @Zai is BACK. | Frankie 🌭

DAY 1: COMPLETE

OVERTIME;

Cade's day is finished. He doesn't have any extra plans schedulled for the evening, so he will be staying home, mostly out of harm's way. You are given permission to leave under the assumption at least one person will be by him in case he needs them. ... You can also stick around, though.
-- The DM session for the day has concluded. What follows is optional asynchronous content. You are welcome to interact with Cade in a 1-1 thread. If you'd like to make a thread, please react below. โ— You have something to inquire about with Cade. ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Mr. Kinoshita approaches you. -# @💼 Bokutachi @🍜 Kimira
