<p>Oh geez, I bet you are so proud of yourselves for arresting such a dangerous criminal! Come on, give yourself a nice pat on the back for being awesome</p>
<p>That was sarcastic, if you didn&;t notice. Yeah, I got arrested. But not everything I did.</p>
<p>Yeah, there&;s still one bomb out there. I know where it is. Do you. Probably not. Am I going to tell you where it is? Probably not. ;)

oh you little devil...

why am I strangely attracted to you?!

Aww, come on, you know you want to tell. Really, you do. I can see it in your eyes.

Actually, what I really want to tell you is that I actually want social order to collapse and people realizing that we should rule ourselves and not let anyone think for us.</p>
<p>It was a nice guess, though. You tried.

Ha ha. Can't blame a girl for trying.

<p>Well, good job on that. That was nerve-wrecking, wasn&;t it? Anyway, I&;m sure you were looking for that update, right
While you were disabling the first bomb, we managed to localize the second bomb, and arrest the infiltrator.</p>
<p>So, that&;s one problem solved.</p>
<p>However, we&;re pretty sure the biggest one is in the main ballroom, but interrogation has been shown to be fruitless. Maybe we&;re not handling this the proper way.</p>
<p>Anyway, we have until the end of the ball to solve all of this, so just relax, take it easy. We&;ll be back soon! :D</p>
<p>Again, thanks so much for everything you&;ve done so far.

Yay! Well, that isn't exactly great news, but maybe we'll be able to make some progress... OR SO WE HOPE, haha. No problem! ^-^

OH look who we have here, if that isn't Miss Elodie Cole xP Hmm, the thing is, we're looking into it and might as well figure it out -- but while we don't, it's your chance to try and get something out of it. After all, we know you were into this for the money, not for ideals or anything. Y'know, you help us get this over quickly, and we might be able to lend you a hand c;

You lost me at the fish :(

<p>There is absolutely no achievement in locking a hippie starchild in a cupboard but yes, you expected me to duel someone like Karlsson who is probably an entire feet taller than me?</p>
<p>Of course I had to mimic whoever was closer to my height and weight, genius. Names are meaningless to me, anyway. Call me Elodie or whatever, I really don&;t care.</p>
<p>Please. I really do care about the destruction of social hierarchy, don&;t talk like I don&;t. But, I&;m not going to be young and able forever, so what&;s wrong with a golden safety net?

Ah, that would have been rather bizarre. Even more so since everyone would expect him to be very awkward in such a big social gathering like this, haha. But then again, what are social gatherings if not an opportunity for people to stalk each other... those little sausages on toothpicks, man. They betrayed you.

Yeah, yeah. As long as there's still someone around to pay. Actually, whoever was meant to get your notes... I'm going to guess they're the forgetful type, if you needed to remind them you were expecting payment. So, how was that going? Ours is a curious planet, I suppose. We have quite a few different currencies, however people can easily access them all -- proof is the amount of them we have around in the ball. Such a luxurious event.

<p>My belly got me caught. That&;s unfortunate but what else is there to do? Complain? Pleeeeeease</p>
<p>My boss has a lot of things on his mind, and let me tell you that my needs are not in the top 256. Of course I gotta remind him I don&;t work for free. Food and escorts are nice, but they don&;t pay themselves with kind words and compliments. You need solid gold to back that up! I&;m not a charity, nope!</p>
<p>Why do you have so many currencies anyway. That seems silly.

Besides dancing and eating... there's only gossip and stalking, I'm afraid. xD

I see. Yeah, from all the places in this planet, you seem to have hit the right one -- things in Ziara always seem to revolve around gold, generally valuable metals and crystals. Yunium Ore is a pretty unique commodity we have, I believe.

Ah, that. Well. We used to be ruled by a man, King Keith. He has never been very well liked, especially with his knack for reforms that never got finished. I wonder if he was afraid of ever finding a bomb into his office, haha. Eventually, he decided to try and save a bit of his reputation and gave all administrative powers to a Chancellor, who's better liked and all, but sits in his office all day. The other senators don't really do much to help, so in the end people just go for what fits their interests better -- some will sell their exclusive goodies for gold, like Ziaran people, while others may choose to work for something as simple as flowers. It's kind of interesting, but the bank manager isn't too happy...

See what happens when there isn't proper society management? xP Be careful what you wish for, haha.

Look, I know I&;m irresistibly good-looking but it&;s alright. You can talk to me. I&;m even going to try pretending I give half of a damn, I guess

snorts You do have a certain curb appeal, but trying to blow everyone up kinda puts a damper on your charms ;)

I mean, if we knew where that last bomb was....maybe things would be a hair different in that whole chatting you up department, but since you don't want to share the location...

That's it no more Mr. Nice Guy.

Someone fetch the comfy chair!

(Sorry I couldn't resist.)

[Quote] Pffft, no one would have died. The way these bombs work is not by exploding and propulsing shrapnel all around the ballroom, but with unpleasant chemical reactions that linger for weeks. I'm a revolutionary, but not a murderer. I leave the department of senseless violence to the ones who rule us

The last bomb...well, I did implies to some of your friends that it's in my superior's possession. And, so far, he hasn't be caught, so I do hope our operation will be successful, at least for that.

Where is he? I have no idea, frankly. We've been communicating online only, so I couldn't even tell you what kind of outfit he wears. Sucks to be you, I guess.[/quote]

Hey now, some chemical reactions can be quite dangerous! Surely such a smart and attractive fella like yourself has some ideas about who he's working with. I mean, you don't seem like you'd be daft enough to follow a stranger from the internet blindly. There must be some clues to your boss' identity that you've picked up on?

<p>I met him a couple other times beforehand, for other missions. It&;s not my first time working for Leto Mara.</p>
<p>See, I have no problem identifying him, because well, he&;s pretty well-known and targeted by the authorities, thanks to our activities.</p>
<p>A description...well, I don&;t know. Backstabbing&;s not really my game, especially since L. and I have common objectives. I&;ll drop a hint or two.</p>
<p>later

Hey now, nobody is asking you to stab your boss in the back or anything, but what can a little description and hinting hurt? I mean, everyone here is in a mask after all - it would take a lot more than a few clues to give up the goat ;)

previous part 2

Quote

Fiiiiiiiiiiine</p>
<p>If you&;re able to guess what kind of mask he has, or what kind of clothes he has, I guess you&;re pretty much in the clear. He&;s more into the glowy, techno stuff anyway, so don&;t expect to catch one dressed in tan and cogs. Well <em>I</em> prefer more traditional stuff.</p>
<p>First, the mask. Well, it&;s one of these masks you&;d associate with a trickster. In fact, I&;d tell you that if you&;d think trickster, you&;d think of this mask first. If you know your classics, anyway. But even if you don&;t, we heard a lot about the lore surrounding this mask in the past few months, and not just on Subeta. Otherwise, how would I know about it?</p>
<p>Clothing style. Hmm. Well, he likes his fancy duds. You won&;t catch him at the thrift shop with 20 dollars in his pockets.</p>
<p>I love to point out how much more ressourceful and skilled I am</p>
<p>Back to the point. Yeah, he liked fancy brand duds. I wouldn&;t be surprised to see him use something that again, could be associated to parties and troublemakers, even with just the brand name. I did mention he likes glowy stuff, right? And not being too serious. He&;d hate getting caught in a suit-and-tie.</p>
<p>Oh, and he is absolutely not as good looking as me, so get your eyes on and look at me for probably the last time. I know, it sucks, but we&;ll have to part ways. To all of the meddlers who wants my phone number, sux2sux, I guess.

Hmmm....maybe we need to line everyone up and have a go then, I think we're missing some important views.

Quote

Yeah, that would be convenient for you. Sadly, my boss&;s not into infiltration.</p>
<p>That&;s why you gotta figure out what kind of mask he got, and what kind of swag clothes he got as well. Remember, one mask name, and one subeautique designer. That&;s all they need.</p>
<p>But, like you can figure it out on time anyway. I DOUBT IT

Hmm, I've got a suspect in mind, I'm fairly certain of who it is, but then I hesitate because what if I'm wrong and the real suspect gets away? frets before pointing a finger at Julius Yorke Or maybe not. See, I'm just so indecisive. I have an idea on the mask itself, but I feel like I've missed a suspect along the way.

No no, you know what, rereading all of their profiles has only convinced me more that it must be Julius Yorke - it wouldn't be the first time that name had been taken over by an imposter. After all - your Mister Yorke isn't even the real Mister Yorke, so who would notice if he wasn't himself? I mean - the mask can fit - fits the best I think, the clothes are a bit more trouble for me, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

(Additionally, I won't be around between 4p and 10p tomorrow, or 7a to 10p on Tuesday, so this might all conclude without me :ccc Stupid work getting in the way of my internet :ccc)

Ah oh...I think I may be wrong in my guess then - I think I misinterpreted and thought I needed to guess who, but maybe we just need to guess what.

I definitely think The Court Jesters Raving Mad set would work out well. I also think any of the Ornamental Fox masks - as the fox is the original trickster, and there's been more about Kitsune's lately than anything else I can think of. The other trickster that comes to mind of course is the Raven, or possibly the Devil because you know, ultimate trickster there. But there are so many options.

Oh, yeah, the fox and the devil are good thoughts. We have some imp masks, too, imps are tricksters ...

Agreed - I think I overshot on my guess....and Julius thinks so too:

Well, you&;re working well! Good job!</p>
<p>So far, you&;re correct about the SBQ designer, it&;s indeed the Court Jester. Great catch on this one! As for the mask, we&;ve been indicated that it might be less a reference to traditional media and ye olde lore and more to...recent pop culture? If it is such a thing in your land!</p>
<p>Then again, you&;d expect people who worship anarchy to view great chaos-makers as their aesthetic.

Well see now, that has me thinking of The Avengers' Loki, who is fantastic at chaos, but now to find a mask that fits for him -hunts-

Quote

We&;re pretty sure we got our man now, thanks to you.</p>
<p>You can have this. Now, just relax. We&;ll have information for you later. Enjoy the rest of the ball!

Happy to help solve the mystery! I'm always here to lend a hand when needed ;) Thank you muchly for the adventure and intrigue ❤️ runs off to play with the new mask

Congrats on guessing the right mask and designer line!

WELL, IT'S GLUBBING THAT.

Going to write a nice conclusion message tomorrow with the rest of the rewards, HOPEFULLY THIS MANAGED TO BE GUD ENOUGH FOR THE LACK OF AN OFFICIAL PLOT.

Congrats to the BIG WINNERS and congrats to EVERYONE ELSE as well. Are you proud of yourself. Be proud of yourself, my big bunch of heroes!
