It's a sad song - It's a sad tale

[musacal]

[ WELL THAT... HAPPENED, HUH. YO WHAT THE FUCK DISCORD THAT'S BALLER.

Good thing the Wizard's probably going to be occupied with THAT for a while longer because it looks like this long ass, nogood day isn't quite over yet as there's still one more incoming curve ball. In contrast to the smell of smoke from the auditorium there seems to be a... sweet, banana-y baked good smell coming from the cafeteria? But who could have been baking while you were all at the trial--

If you go in there or even just pass by at all, you'll find on one of the tables there's a plate with several warm and fresh banana muffins. Underneath the plate, just sticking out enough so that you can see a corner peeking out, is a folded up note:


You are not alone. I'm here to help.
I'll be waiting for everyone in the
girl's washroom on the first floor.

Come and find me.
-a friend

At the bottom of the note is a small, hand drawn banana. The handwriting and muffins might look familiar to two of you.

...soooooooo you up for a meeting after all that shit? ]

[Angus stops by the kitchen for a quick drink of water after that stressful event, but he has to keep going, he can't be weak and prove Discord wrong--

Bananas.

The familiar scent of bananas.

He runs to his room, picks up a stack of papers from his previous investigation and his Hammer of Glory, and bolts for the girls' restroom. Is that reckless, considering the Wizard might be suspicious? Maybe, but he has a fire to pay attention to.]

Is it--?!

[musacal]

[ In the washroom the Gershwin Groundhog is sitting on the floor, tapping its paws as it waits. When Angus enters it looks up. ]

...Angus-san?!

[ It hasn't removed its head yet but the voice is definitely Nana's. ]

[mcfife]

Nana Daiba...

[He knows her. He remembers her.]

The Takarazuka actress in training. You...like baking with bananas.

[What else? He has to remember more about her.] Maya Tendo's and Claudine Saijo's competitor.

[musacal]

[ She takes the mascot head off and... even without the girly pigtails that's still Nana all right. ]

Yes, that's me!

I... I can't believe it! It really is you! Balladeer-san told me you were here too but...

[ She wanted to believe that maybe he just meant like. Another Angus. ]

[mcfife]

The Balladeer? Was he with us, too?

[He doesn't remember seeing him. B mentioned a Leading Player, and Angus does recognize the name either.]

Or are they the ones that got us out of here?

[whatyouwant]

[Elle's waiting for Angus back in his room when he comes crashing in. Seeing him frantically grab things has her more worried than usual, given what just happened.]

What happened? Is everyone okay?

[mcfife]

We-

[Can he say it out loud? He can't risk the Wizard getting a hint. He glances at the corner of the room, wondering if a camera is watching them.]

Well... [He rests a hand on Elle's hip and pulls her him for a kiss. No one in their right mind would keep on watching this recording, plus it's an excuse to whisper in her ear.]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle really hopes the Wizard isn't the voyeuristic type, but honestly they burned that bridge with the roof shenanigans.

She's a little confused, but returns the kiss. At least this probably means nothing's wrong, right?]

[mcfife]

[This really was supposed to be a quick cover, but Angus is letting Elle enjoy this for a but longer. Alas, they must be careful not to get too far ahead when they have no privacy and have little time.

As he kisses the side of her neck, he works his lips to her near and whispers:] Emergency meeting in the bathroom. I think we have a lead. Just follow me and pretend nothing is afoot.

[whatyouwant]

[Elle smiles and pulls back.]

Come on, we need to go check on the others.

[She gives a quick peck on the nose before taking his hand to go out of the door.]
