"Well, not cool, but I get what you mean, yeah. Huh." It couldn't be the lava that came along with the Sigma Sync building, could it? Nah. Shrugging, Kiley goes to get changed with the other girls. Hot springs bathing doesn't sound so bad after the week she's had. Maybe she can even lord it over Sam later.

Sam's check of the news finds the usual weekend nonsense about various celebrities, though to his dismay, while the original version of the fic of horror has been taken offline, secondary works have sprouted up like mushrooms, particularly in the absence of noteworthy news, aside from Kong(in the form of a large two headed flying reptile) being shot down by Tinkerbell last night, and Verminlord having stole a truckload of cheese and dairy products for nefarious purposes.

You know. Usual stuff.
Aside from the monster that Conspiracy had unleashed.
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

Kiley, after some awkwardness getting changed in a poorly lit tunnel with only a cheap divider for privacy, finds the water to be more lukewarm than actually hot. The club members are already splashing and horsing around, though Jennifer seems up to something again, on the basis that she poking around on the far side of the cave with a glowstick instead of swimming.

Oh god. Sam toys with the idea of posting to quash the rumors, but it's not as though he has any way to verify his identity short of shouting from a building somewhere. Instead, he composes a quick message to Conspiracy, no longer caring about the early hour. She's ruined his morning, she can deal with a little less sleep than usual. need to talk with you. it's quite important.

Sam allows himself a tiny - okay, substantial amount of satisfaction at waking the Thinker brat, pecking out a response as he hunts for clothing. so why would i waste my saturday bothering you if it wasn't urgent?

no, it's about-- Sam pauses, trying to figure out how to phrase the matter delicately. --family matters.

After a moment, his phone rings, "Talk"
The girl sounds rather grumpy, though reasonably awake.

Sam grins humorlessly, pulling on a pair of jeans one-handed. "So Leaf Ronin and at least one other Special at Whitethorn are being jerked around by a Master. Some sort of written mind whammy that works when you read it, and guess who can sense stuff on paper? And in light of that, I think the stuff he was trying to hand off to your brother is a lot more dangerous than a handful of paper cuts. He's not very popular with Franco, you know."

Sam could hear Conspiracy mulling over it with a humming,"Proof? You have any evidence with you?"

"Of a sort. It's the stuff Ronin wanted handed off to Scattershot. At first we thought it was just a bad prank, but now I'm guessing there's a hypnobomb on the stuff. Or whatever it is." Sam pauses thoughtfully. "If you could tell something was nearby that connected the dots, that sort of confirms the theory. Maybe. I'd show you, but it's kind of dangerous to go poking around waiting for the Master's trigger to be set off.

...also, it's inside the wall. "
And a lot of trouble if anyone caught him with it, though that goes unsaid.

"I can't get it out easily. It'll take a little while." And Kiley's help, he fails to add. "In the meantime, what else would help narrow things down?"

"Confirmed victims and things with the 'hypnobomb'" She sighs, "The more the better, but I need at least three"

"Right. Ronin and Mariella Caito are victims we're either certain or nearly certain about - my friend sort of put her in the hospital, if that helps. There's a binder in the school's council room in one of the locked record cabinets that had one of the suggestions attached. And there's a Regina Poggio who signed out a key Mariella had, so it's pretty likely she's involved, if not also brainwashed. They're supposedly friends." Sam ticks the evidence off on his fingers.

There's long wait as Conspiracy does...whatever she does on the other end of the line, "Can't get anything out of toilet paper or Miss Looks-Too-Much-Like-Your-Friend. Binder's no good unless you can show it to me."

Sam sighs. "Alright. I guess I'll let you know when I've got the evidence, then. In the meantime, maybe steer him somewhere away from Ronin just to be on the safe side."

Sam shakes his head and tosses the phone aside. The message went through, anyway, it's her fault if she doesn't follow up on it.

After getting cleaned up, he sits down to put at least an hour or two of homework in. That's the problem with vigilante antics; they eat into your work time. Maybe after a little while he can take a break to go out and run around in costume.
