WHO: Jason (leastdramatic), Loki (abit_ofboth), Chrollo (bookofpowers), Tim (mostdangerousbird), and Gorgug (tinflower) -- and also the NPC Tatianna
WHEN: Early January
WHERE: Etraya streets, and then ~and mysterious building~ (a room inside the Daily Planet).
WHAT: Trying to get information out of that tricky Tatianna!!
NOTES\WARNINGS: Mind reading, abduction. Idk what else, will edit as necessary!

That Tatianna knows something.

Whether she does or not is up for debate, and that's a debate that's actually vital to be had. Real information is scarce in Etraya, and all it takes is the possibility of finding something concrete--and enough agreeable individuals to do so through question methods--to make a small team. To help track Tatianna's movements, and then to discuss how they'll get the information they want from her.

Tracking her isn't much of an issue, surprisingly. Tatianna's a resident of Etraya, and she acts as most do inside it, not being particularly mindful of the people around them or her comings and goings. And while they had back-up plans to their snatching attempts, it goes off without a hitch in the most...simplest, bizarre of manners.

And that's by Chrollo scooping her up. Somewhat literally, when, with a test that Chrollo's ability to make his aural presence unremarkable and undetectable even to people in front of him, all it takes is for him to knock her out and wrap her in a summoned cloth, and to downsize her to a size far easier to carry.

Which makes their job much easier, safe to say. Tatianna will find her awareness coming back to her within a small room, with a chair to sit on and at least one person already in there with her.

Comments

Using his ability to conceal his physical whereabouts, Loki leans against the only door but completely out of sight until Tatianna is almost directly in front of him.

“I am sorry my dear, but I’m afraid we have some questions for you before we can allow that to happen.”

[tatianna_npc]

Tatianna yelps and jumps back, pulling out her sole weapon, a kubaton.

“You’ll never take me alive!” She brandishes her keychain-based weapon at Loki.

It seems Tatianna is not listening well.

“You- You bunch of freaks!”

[bookofpowers]

One has to appreciate the fight, although it doesn't do much to Chrollo's expression, not does he move much when there is another already in front of her. She is not wrong in her approach to them, after all. His voice is low, nearly monotone.

"We have already taken you alive."

Let's start there, ma'am.

"And I wish you to remain so, so I suggest you sit. Listen to our questions, answer them, and hopefully, you will be free to go unharmed."

[abit_ofboth]

Loki’s honestly impressed with the sudden outburst. He isn’t sure what he’d been expecting, but the woman suddenly brandishing a weapon didn’t make the list. Really he should’ve known better. Not that he’s at all worried about her being able to hurt him, but he supposes she may be able to hurt one of the others.

He smirks at Chrollo as he speaks before there’s a small flash of green as Loki uses his telekinesis to remove the small weapon from her hand. He makes a tsking noise as he straightens and moves towards her. “Now now, we wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt, would we? Now why don’t you listen to my friend here and take a seat? We really only have some questions for you and, as mentioned, then we will be more than happy to let you go.”

Provided she actually answers their questions, of course.

[tatianna_npc]

She watches the weapon being taken from her hand and curses as she backs up fast.

“Alright, so I found the little villain group. That’s fucking cute,” she pulls out her cracked iPhone and starts a video, swiveling it around at everyone present.

“Don’t make me call the cops! I’ll call Aurora! I’ll piss! I’ll piss straight on the floor! Straight on your shoes! Try me!”

She is not about to calm down.

“You want something for nothing, and Momma doesn’t take that kind of shit!”

[abit_ofboth]

Needless to say, after the ease with which they managed to grab her, Loki is a little surprised by her outburst. But only a little. Another wave of green magic and her phone is in his hand as well. Otherwise, Loki hardly moves, simply staying where he is and watching her, waiting to see if will calm down at any point.

He wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t. He knows all too well what it’s like to be taken against your will, everyone here did. Though he thinks the threat of urinating is an odd one.

“Are you quite done with your tantrum?” He says once she’s stopped yelling. He’ll happily explain what they want, but only once he’s sure she’s actually listening.

[bookofpowers]

Videos or public appearances do not bother him. After all, it is part of the deal with the Phantom Troupe - wreak havoc, be seen, be heard. So, he shrugs, watching the tantrum she throws, and he can confidently say that these threats are... News, very creative. Usually people threaten a family that they can't really say exists, or their own lives, but to piss on the floor? Revolutionary, and wholly ineffective.

"If we give you answers you are looking for, would you return the favor? Preferrably not pissing on yourself, if you are able to help it."

[tatianna_npc]

“I don’t collaborate with terrorists. Kidnappers, perverts, whatever you are.”

She looks between Chrollo and Loki. “Definitely perverts. And I have a really full bladder. I’ll fucking do it.”

Tatianna does not seem interested in calming down. “‘Cause I can see what you’re doing. You want something for nothing. You want to get ahead and try to flip the script on me. I told you how it was gonna be, but instead, you’re like. Hmm, instead of having conversations, we’re gonna do a crime! No! Fuck you all, let me go!”

[abit_ofboth]

As far as Loki can tell, she didn’t want to collaborate with them before she thought these things of them, but he doubts telling her that will help anything.

“You know, considering how badly you seem to want to participate in public urination, it’s starting to seem like you are the pervert here.” Okay, so that probably didn’t help either, but Loki isn’t exactly known for holding his tongue.

“The idea that you have information we want alone seems to prove that you are already ahead of us. That hardly seems fair. Why do you get to hoard all the information? How did you even get it in the first place?”

Maybe if they can find out how she got it, they can get it that way themselves, and then it won’t matter what she does.

[bookofpowers]

No, no. Loki's right and he should say it, to which Chrollo just points to the other man to say he agrees with what was said.

But this is going nowhere, he can tell. There's a moment there he sighs, the book disappearing so he can stick his hands into his pockets.

"You want gossip, correct? Information about others. I will tell you everything you ask about me without reservations, all we want are some answers of our own."
