Ai
The best Ai manages is to attract some weird looks from the passerby troops looking through the hospital. Possibly one or two contemplating hitting on her, judging from the chatter she can pick up, followed by light slaps on the back of their head from their partner. However, she does pick up one interesting piece of chatter from what sounds like a pair of female soldiers.
"Those poor kids. Zoanthropes, right outside the building."
"Apparently, Kamen Rider Volt and her buddies showed up to stop 'em, you hear? Some guy got it on video."
"Really? I heard it was that guy with the insects!"
"We should probably concentrate on the job. Seriously, does the boss think there'll be some Zoanthrope here?"
"Well, the administrator guy, Matou, seemed pretty shady. The homeless guy we chased off earlier seems pretty suspicious, too. And then there's that kid who keeps coming here, every day. Showed up ever since the Zoanthrope attacks started a few days ago. He's just a kid, but the boss keeps telling us to keep an eye on anyone new."
"I mean, the rumour goes that Volt's a senior in high school. Not buying it. He's probably a really hot guy."
"And you're calling me on concentrating on work?"
Seems like you have three lines of inquiry, Administrator Matou, the homeless man or the regular visitor.
Ragnar
The girl looks down for a moment, slightly embarassed.
"I....well, that makes sense, I suppose. Wait, you want to know my name? Um, I'm...I'm Haru. Haru Arima.
Um, about weird things? .....well, t-there was last night, with the....Zoanthropes, and actually, um.....I think I saw something here, t-two nights ago. A g-giant.....snake? I'm not sure."
Ito
As you head outside, well, you see Sato and Amelie picking up a strange, glowing blue orb. That might be worth inquiring to in a bit. As for investigating nooks and crannies? You decide to go the other way from Maki, Haruko and Amelie, heading opposite. The one thing worth investigating, of course, is the small, concrete trapdoor in the greenery past the carpark, a rusted iron handle. It's more of a heavy slab than a door, probably some sort of service ladder leading to a maintenance area. But it's worth investigating, seeing as it seems as if it's been recently opened.
Maybe you might want to have a look.
Maki, Haruko and Amelie
"I.....well, her mom said she'd be fine, but.....she dropped out of our school about a couple of months ago. Maki and I don't know the specifics of it, but it's not good, no."
"Uh, a moment, Naomi."
Maki grabs Amelie and Haruko and turns aside, whispering to them.
"Not good. She's a friend of mine, I can't let her get caught in the crossfire! No time to check on her either, not now, but it'll look suspicious if I don't go with Naomi....are you two okay with handling this?"
Sato and Agatha
The orb feels slightly warm to the touch as Agatha picks it up and pockets it. It seems to reach out to her for a brief moment; she feels the briefest touches of warm tendrils in her psyche. Tendrils seems to be the only right word, the feeling being so foreign, so alien to human senation. But only a moment, and the orb seems to remain unchanged, being hoisted into her pocket with little further protest.
Agatha has acquired the Mystery Orb.
Lapis tilts their head at her pocket.
Huh. It feels like there's something.....inside that orb. I can't tell what it is, except that it's information of some kind. If you could figure out how to extract the information, maybe you could do more with it, but for the moment....
