Gabe and I were visiting with Krenshar at the Fook Me Hookah Lounge when AuroraBlue dropped in. Not a metaphor, she dropped in.
Much different than her usual talkitive confrontational ornery cub self. And a new look, hope that's body paint.
She stared at us and held onto Krenshar's leg. We played follow-the-leader or tag, it was hard to tell.
We chased her all the wasy to the church at the spaceport. AuroraBlue had a fascination for the same statue that LilyBell did, the one with the sheep. At least she purred a bit, even rubbed against Gabe's foot for a bit. AuroraBlue went back to the statue, look at it, look at Gabe, look at the statue, back and forth. Aurora's eyes flashed like raprapid firing gun as they focus on the Fruity Oaty Bar picture on Gabe's shirt.
Then follow the leader/tag to the courtyard and watched AuroraBlue put her head under the water like LilyBell did during her baptism. Maybe word gets around.
The chase continues to the Blue Sun Corporation Building, WHO DO NOT LOCK THEIR DOORS. We found AuroraBlue on the top floor, she left a bottle of gecko milk by the couches. AuroraBlue LittleBoots clawed at the dragon pictures on the side, shredding it a bit. Then somehow she got onto the roof and began to chop at the roof with one of the little axes.
Finally the chase leads to the Mayor's Office on horseback (taken from x0x0's stable). AuroraBlue LittleBoots stood and looked at the computer without saying a word, perfectly still. When prompted, she repeated, "xyz xyz xyz xyz" and blinked several times.
I asked her if she knew about LilyBell's abduction, which she merely responded, "Home" and "safe," followed by the cryptic, "Danger like a dagger." Lily said the same thing to Gabe a week earlier.
She sniffed the pink bear in Seana's office, whispered something about "almost time" and hid under the desk. I don't know what could spook the usually fearless AuroraBlue.
Then she ditched us.
Later, I am following up with x0x0 Zhangsun about a reference I gave Emma Ditko for the executive position she had. I informed her about LilyBell's disappearance. She seemed mostly incredulous that LilyBell was taken against her will. Her biggest concern was to find a replacement electrician.
x0x0 was looking for Amon, but he had been absent of late.
Emma had her interview with x0x0. When I spoke with her about it later, Emma commented that x0x0 mainly asked her questions that she already knew the answers to. I suspected that x0x0 wanted to see if Emma would withhold info or maybe just to observe for reactions. That is Emma7 wearing her uniform for when she works with us for the Consolidated Associate Traders of Zenobia.
I consider these events to be related somehow. LilyBell's abduction, AuroraBlue's strange visit and x0x0's reaction. Will bear further observation.
I hope Seana finds LilyBell soon.
