[ He knocks on a random door after moving far away from Iris' room. Guess he doesn't want to see his friend. :/

The door opens! It's just some rando. But she looks him up and down... Cute maid outfit! I'm not bothering with an icon for her. ]

Woah, room service here is fast.

[outdistanced]

[ damn. ]

Y-Yeah, that's. Kind of our job.

[ help zhongli. ]

What can we help you with?

[dijun]

[ comes back from committing various war crimes on ants.

zhongli immediately pulls up a pleasant, mild smile from behind laurence. ]

If you are looking to place an order for food or drink, we are happy to fetch it for you. If there is any trash you would like us to remove, we would be glad to make sure it is taken care of, as well.

[holyspirits]

[ the girl looks CONFUSED. ]

Uh... I already ordered. With the app? So you don't have my food?

Are you just going door to door taking orders?

[outdistanced]

...It's part of our job, sure.

Delivery's still working on it, I think. There was something we were supposed to clean up? They must have sent us to the wrong place. Sorry.

[ what the hell is happening. ]

[dijun]

Hm... we can go back to the kitchen and see what we can find out about that food, miss.

[ thoughtful!

let's just leave these people and try the next door laurence. ]

[holyspirits]

[ look at your rolls.

OKAY SHE BELIEVES YOU!!!!!!!

She looks a little surprised because this seems like a silly way to do things, but she doesn't know any better. She gives you a polite nod and closes the door.

Well. Moving on! Your second roll was a natural 20 for luck in finding The Idol's room. But um. My 20 roll was. For The Idol to be gone before you get there.

So I think you are headed to the next door when you see, up ahead, someone exit their room. And Zhongli, you recognize their halo as The Idol's. They are headed to the elevators. ]

[outdistanced]

[ TARGET SPOTTED

looks at zhongli. now what. ]

[dijun]

[ MGS ! NOISE. ]

- quickly, Laurence, let's follow. At the very least we can let Mister Ali and Akihiko know which direction our intended is going if we miss the elevator.

[ go go go go hustle hustle. ]

[holyspirits]

[ The Idol continues to walk down the hall toward the elevators. They are oblivious. They press the button to go up. ]

[outdistanced]

Why didn't we come up with a better plan before running in like this?

[ this is his fault too. anyway he could run and easily catch them but that would be too obvious wouldn't it. hm.

speedwalks after them instead ]

[dijun]

Because we did not think very far ahead, and unfortunately had little information in regards to what we were walking into.

[ going any faster than a brisk speedwalk would draw too much attention, yeah. he just tries to look like a very busy maid on the way to go clean something so hopefully no one looks twice at them.

maybe if the idol gets into the elevator and they get close enough they can ask their mystery person to hold it... ]

[holyspirits]

[ The Idol reaches the elevators where there's already a small crowd of girls waiting. Ho hum. Just enjoying their cruise. ]

[outdistanced]

[ ZOOMIN TO CATCH UP we can't be that far we were just at these stinking elevators ]

[dijun]

[ don't say that did you already forget the gotdang casino???

he will not call out or attack or anything he just wants to catch up with the dang girl. ]

[holyspirits]

[ ....... The elevator comes, and The Idol steps inside. The other girls flood in after them.

One teenage girl looks at you speedwalking to the elevator. And then kind of raises her hand up to where the buttons are. and very obviously pretends to press the 'hold elevator' button for you without actually pressing it.

But Laurence manages to shove his hand in there, so the doors do that funny stilted re-opening thing. Alright, a few more passengers... Fine... ]

[outdistanced]

[ TAKE THAT, BIG TITTY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.

squeezes himself in with an annoyingly victorious grin. ]

Sorry! We just got word of a big upstairs. Very urgent, wouldn't want to ruin your experience here.

[ hehehe hohoho goodbye forever iris black ]

[dijun]

[ TAKE THAT BIG TITTY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FUCKING HELP ME RAY

be less of a smug weirdo about it, but zhongli will carefully step in after him, moving to try and take up as little room as possible with him and his broom. ]

Yes, apologies, everyone. We must make sure that everything is tidied up for you all.

[ presses... the close door button... ]

[holyspirits]

[ Great! You step into the elevator to make sure you catch the Big Upstairs.

As the door closes you see a bullet shoot by and hear girls screaming.

That's probably fine.

Going up! ]

[outdistanced]

[ also jumps at the bullet hello?!

but that's none of our business ]

[dijun]

Oh, dear. Another mess to clean up once we're done upstairs, it seems.

[ trying to be calm about this but jfc. anyways he's going to take a look at The Idol, surreptitiously scanning the elevator car like he's making sure everyone is alright. face? a face to the target? ]

[holyspirits]

[ Congratulations: It's a boy. The other girls in the elevator kind of politely giggle at the comment out of guilt for their crimes of not holding the lift for you.

The Idol, however, kind of screeches and tries to back into a corner. Of a crowded elevator. This goes as well as you would expect. He just gets shoved forward again. Don't be fucking rude. ]

C&C?!

[ So the thing is your maid uniforms are what you're known for back at Millennium... The school that The Idol also goes to... And is running from... ]

[outdistanced]

[







shit. ]

I-I don't know what you're talking about? We're the cleaning crew. Maybe we, uh, look like someone you know...?

[ bluff bluff bluff bluff ]

[dijun]

[ blinks down at this yelling fetus. ]

Pardon? What is C&C?

[ cola i'm gonna preemptively say that zhongli will full stop position the end of his broom to trip The Idol if he attempts to run from them the moment the elevator doors open. ]

[holyspirits]

I didn't do anything!

[ He has embezzled thousands of dollars.

The elevator dings and people start heading out. This is not even the deck he wanted but he does indeed try to bolt because he absolutely knows who you are. It doesn't take a very good roll for that you LIARS!!!!!!!

Except he only barely beat your roll so. He still trips and just kind of. Falls out of the elevator and onto the ground. ]
