JT shuffled forward when the crowd moved a bit, followed by Maxxie and Tom. "I usually only have to wait in line for half and hour before I get in, so it won't be much longer. We can get your glasses at the door. I hope you guys like it," he says, directing the last comment mostly at Maxxie.

The one good thing about the crush and noise was that no one paid a bit of attention to one small woman suddenly being next to them. As long as she smiled and looked like she was dancing, or threading through the crowd to the bar, they ignored her.

They needed earpieces, she decided abruptly as she finally broke through the edge of the dance floor and flopped into a seat at the bar. Something to communicate in places like this since she wasn't exactly telepathic. The bartender was with her quickly, perhaps more solicitous than normal after the strange whiteout (she couldn't call it a blackout in her mind, being as the lights had come on rather than going </i>out</i>) and she smiled brilliantly and ordered a water. He brought it to her, watching her for a moment with a faint frown before he turned away to check on someone else.

Maxxie frowned to herself as soon as he looked away, recognizing that look as the I think I know your face but can't figure it out sort of look that she saw often enough. It would get worse she thought, this summer, when the Olympics started up. But instead of dwelling on it, she simply cracked open the water and closed her eyes, trying to listen to the chatter around her and getting irritable when she realized that these things don't work nearly as well in real life as in the vids, because most of what she could hear was the thundering music that was loud enough to echo inside her chest.

	JT grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him off the floor, "I'm not feeling it any more, drink?" He was actually more worrier about Maxxie, but Tom seemed unconcerned. Truth be told he was on edge these days, from the riots to the weird events that introduced him to these two. Scanning the floor as they left it brought him nothing though. No Maxxie nor "weird stuff." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As they headed towards the bar, Tom spotted Maxxie and tugged on JT to follow him. "There you are," he said. "You shouldn't do that. We could lose you in the crowd, shortie." He grinned, trying to make a joke of it, because that's what he did when he was stressed. "Find anything out?" Because Maxxie's curiosity was as strong as his sometimes.

Maxxie wrinkled her nose, making a face. "Not really. The guy behind the bar said something about officials, which I'm assuming was the guys in suits. But it's so noisy here. How do they make spying look so easy? Because I'm not even worried about talking here since I can't hear anyone else, I'm figuring no one's going to listen in on us. Oh," she grinned, "and we obviously need some sort of communication method so that when I blink away I can still talk to you guys. Think we can requisition that?"

	"Hey, I bet we do get to requisition things, that's pretty cool," JT squeed. "Did you see where they went? Were they escorting anyone out? I wasn't able to see very well." He leans onto the bar and tries to wave down the bar tender, this place used actual people, instead of bots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There were some guys in suits going out with an escort, but they didn't look like they were in trouble," Maxxie explained. "I couldn't see much, either, since I was trying to stay out of sight myself." She fell silent as the bartender approached, waving her water to show she was still all set, and gesturing to JT and Tom instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom asked the bartender for a water, handing over his card to be scanned. He took the water and the card back and unscrewed the top to take a sip. "If it was just a routine check, I doubt they would have showed up in the middle of the one of the busiest nights of the week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	JT shakes his head at the 'safe' drinks the other two have, but doesn't say anything, not really his place. He always found it was easier to relax and dance after a drink or two. "But they didn't have anyone with them? So either they missed their target or he got away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They didn't have anyone with them that I saw," Maxxie said. "But yeah, I don't think it was routine. They wouldn't have been this obvious if it were something planned. What they did is something people are going to talk about, just because it was weird. I could pop up towards the offices, but chances are I'd be noticed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So the question is, what would they want to be talked about?" Tom asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"General fear?" JT suggests, "The fact that they can be everywhere?" After a slight pause he adds, "I guess 'they' is the government. Who we kinda work for, this is too confusing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We don't," Tom said. "I'm pretty sure our employer is going to great pains to make sure that the government doesn't know that we are employed by one of its own." He was conscious of not knowing who might be listening, and tried to keep anything that might give them away out of it. "I'll keep an eye on the feeds and stuff. Maybe something will pop up. Until then, we might as well enjoy ourselves." He grinned. "Who wants to dance?"

	Maxxie gulped down the rest of her water and left the bottle on the countertop before she slid off the stool on which she perched. She hesitated a moment, then held out a hand to Tom and a hand to JT. "I do." (Reply to this) (Parent)
