Apartment Complex

[Mistress Guendolen]

Elise tapped her chin for a moment as she thought. "Okay, I think I have the best idea in mind. Do you have a map of this area? As detailed as possible, for preference. I... have something in mind I could do. Just give me a minute...." She hurried back into her room to dig out her dowsing pendulum. "I hope there's one available, I haven't had a chance to get one yet...." Crystal pendulum in hand, she made her way back into the main room.

[Xiao]

"If I do, it will be in my apartment, I will go and check," Daniel said before hobbeling out of the apartment and into his own. He began to scan through the books, Alchemy, Enchantments, I should really put the foe dust jackets on these things. he thought. As he reached the end of the shelf, he saw aforementioned dust jackets, and noticed a map of the city and surrounding area folded in a similar manner and sitting among them. He grabbed it and limped back into Elise's room, handing it out to her as he did.

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Thanks. I wouldn't have been able to do this without one of these...." She spread the map out on the table. "Now, just be quiet unless, say, the building's burning down or suddenly full of zombies or something equally urgent. I need to concentrate." She took the dowsing pendulum in hand, suspending the crystal over the map, and held it as still as possible, to allow it to stop swinging naturally. This might take a while, but she had practice....
Then she turned inward. That was the only way she knew how to describe it. The dart in hand, she focused on the energy emanating from it; it was always harder when search for someone you didn't know personally, but this has been in the sniper's possession recently enough that it should, at least to a degree, balance out.... She moved the crystal over the map, in tiny, slow movements, watching for anything out of the ordinary, the moment when the crsytal would start to swing in spinning circles, wildly, that would signal the place where her subject would be, at least at the time of the dowsing.... I just hope this map is detailed enough to give an accurate reading.

The crystal begins to swing wildly when it reaches the location of a nearby warehouse. It's aparently the same place Genno went to. It's a clear signal, and it's definitely there, but the crystal's rotating a lot more wildly, and a lot higher, than is normal. It's practically a helicopter!

Of course, the fact that the freaking dart shoots out backwards through the window, and lands on a nearby rooftop, is equally surprising. Looks like the dart itself wanted to go back to it's master, or home, or whatever. It's a clear path, and the dart seems to land on a nearby rooftop.

[Mistress Guendolen]

Elise started out of her near-trance state. She had never seen the energy source in a dowsing do anything remotely like that before. But either way.... "Okay, I've got a reading," she said. "If my divination is accurate, then the source of all this trouble is right here." She pointed to the spot on the map. "It's not too far from here, I think."

[Xiao]

"That's a very nice trick," Daniel said, intrigued by what had happened infront of him, "If you wish to go, I am afraid I must stay, I would only slow you down." he continued, leaning on his staff, "Unless there is something else that you need."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Trick? I guess you could call it that.... I grew up doing this sort of thing." She hunched a shoulder, then changed subjects before her history could be probed too far. She wasn't sure she was up for talking about her parentage and training right now, especially as while this boy seemed nice enough, she didn't feel the openness and bond she'd developed so quickly with Genno that had made her inclined to share with him. "I'm not sure what else I would need.... When it comes right down to it, I'm flying blind here except regarding location. I'm basically just hoping I'll figure out what to do once I get there."

[Xiao]

"Sorry, didn't mean to underacknowledge what ever it is you just did, but if there is nothing else you can think of needing, then I can't give you anything else, except to say good luck." Daniel said.

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Oh, don't worry!" She made a hasty gesture of reassurance. "I don't think you were putting me down or anything! You were just being nice, and I really do appreciate that. I just... don't know what I need to do, except go there and do the best I can. So wishing me luck sounds really good right about now...."

[Xiao]

Daniel nodded and said, "Alright then, just hope that you don't get shot by a tranquilizer again, there probably won't be a curious neighbor to help you out over there."

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Yes, you've got a very real point there.... Though I guess with that bad leg you wouldn't want to come along, huh?" Then an idea arrived; a little device she hadn't perfected yet, but just might help.... "But... I'll be okay. At least, I hope I will...."

[Xiao]

"Alright then, I will leave you to do what you must then." Daniel said as he began to limp towards the exit.

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Wait; here's your map back." She hurriedly folded it up and handed it back to him. "Thank you so much for all your help. I appreciate it more than I can say. Maybe you can come by again sometime, when Genno is here and all this mess is sorted out...."

[Xiao]

Daniel smiled as he accepted the map and said, "Sure, and again, I appologize for my intrusion, even if it did turn out well." He then turned and left, heading towards his own room. And that's one step towards the Advocate test. he thought as he walked down the hall.

(So, Guen, the location that the dart flew at is the nearby rooftop, the location on the map is S.U.C.K. headquarters. Post on whichever one you're going to arrive at, if you post on S.U.C.K. headquarters I'm going to stall Master of Shadows and zap him to an arena with the catgirl he's facing, Teacher's Pet.)
