A Cardcaptor, a Paper User and an Explorer walk into a bar..

[Bean Bandit]

Hideki sat up, gingerly keeping Kotoko from falling off his chest. "A woman came to my apartment, and asked to borrow Sumomo and Kotoko here." he told Bolt a bit nervously. "She asked me to come here at this time, and ask the woman with square glasses where the 'Order' team was, and give them to them."

Hideki stumbled through the explanation, then rubbed at the back of his head sheepishly. "Sorry, I got the feeling it was important, so I agreed, and they did, too." he finished, holding Kotoko out to Bolt.

[CyMage]

Sai carefully picked up Kotoko.  "Well, I guess you know what you're getting into."  He turned to Hideki.  "Thanks, but we need to get going.  Our friends are waiting."

Slipping Kotoko into one of his larger pockets in a way that she can see out of it, he eyed the car.  "I think I can fit in it... Somehow."

[Bean Bandit]

Tomoyo stepped forward from the group of children, tugging on Bolt's coat as Hideki excused himself quickly.

"We have a car that might fit more." she suggested, smiling.

[Music-chan]

Yomiko looked down at Tomoyo, still holding Sumomo cupped in her hands. The passing thought of being able to shove the pink little persocon into Bean's face when they met up made her smile but she concentrated on the task at hand.

"Tomoyo-chan, do you think your parents will let us borrow it?"

She was assuming a number of things, but hey....it was better than nothing.

[Bean Bandit]

Tomoyo smiled. "I don't know about borrowing it, but we could give you a ride." she pointed out. "My body guards would probably be happier that they could keep an eye on you, anyway. They're sort of nervous when I'm around new people."

[CyMage]

"Sure, that works.  And I still want to talk them out of some equipment."  He looked around.  "Ok, folks.  Time to move.  I'd love to talk, really, but we got people to meet up with."

He made another small bow to Tomoyo.  "M'lady, shall you summon thine carriage and guards then?"

[Bean Bandit]

Tomoyo giggled at Bolt, and turned and waved to a seemingly empty area of the park. Instantly, armed women dressed in black suits and sunglasses began emerging from the bushes and made their way over.

Kotone looked impressed...so impressed that she quickly ducked behind Bolt.

Nenene, from her vantage point inside the car, frowned. "This doesn't look good..."

[CyMage]

Sai's only real expression of surprise was a raised eyebrow at the fact that all the guards are female.  Scanning around the area he counted five newcomers.

"I must say, I'm impressed with the skill you ladies display.  Though I would like to talk to whoever is in charge here.  I and the others are somewhat ill prepared for our assigment and I want to remedy at least some of the equipment problems."

[Bean Bandit]

A tall woman with sandy brown hair tied in a loose ponytail draped over one shoulder stepped forward, and removed her sunglasses.

She glanced once at Tomoyo, who nodded brightly, then looked back to bolt.

"Very well. We'll hear you out, at least."

[CyMage]

"Well, I am pretty sure you can't provide us with guns, grenades or flashbangs, so I was thinking more along the lines of communication devices.  Hands free, encrypted and durable.  Maybe some body armor, though that would take longer to fit everyone with."  

Sai rubbed his chin.  "Some medical supplies or access to a surgeon would be nice.  Perhaps a we could borrow a van?  We will need transportation." He rattled off a few more ideas.  "Climbing gear.  Acetylene torch.  Tazers or stun guns.  Binoculars.  IR or Nightvision gear.  Handcuffs.  Duct tape."

With an innocent smile he finished.  "A short list, I know but the others might have some ideas too."

[Bean Bandit]

The woman blinked, and glanced again at Tomoyo, who nodded serenely. She shrugged. "How long do you have?"

[Bean Bandit]

As she spoke, the loud booming thrum of an almost too-powerful engine caught their ears, and they looked up to see a distinctively peculiar aircraft.

Flying VERY low over the houses, a red jetfighter with an almost insectlike cockpit and tail assembly, and lean, angular and wicked looking wings and fuselage zoomed overhead before circling around to come back at the park, displaying some wicked-looking weaponry...

[Music-chan]

Ra-chan stayed quiet through most of the exchange, not entirely sure what to make of the whole ordeal.

Okay, frankly, she had NO idea what was going on.  Sakura wasn't really an anime she had watched.

But the plane that flew overhead was something she was pretty sure she recognized.

"Hey, sweetie, isn't that the Swordfighter II?"

[CyMage]

"I thought it was Swordfish..."  

He looked at the visible weapons on the thing and decided not to take too many chances.  "Everyone scatter but don't attack it unless it fires first!"  Grabbing Yomiko as he let out the warning, he went for cover by the car.  He remembered the last time non-native tech showed up.  Sure, he liked Bubblegum Crisis, but he wasn't fond of the boomers.
