It started with a simple text that evening. Well, no, that was wrong. It started with a knock on the door that morning.

Garnet had wanted to check on Nariko, on all of her bandmates. All that responded to her was silence. She kicked open the door, and was met with nothing. As if the bedsheets had never been used, or the bed even slept in at all.

Nariko - the girl she saw as a daughter, their lead singer - gone. For hours she sat on that bed, her hands over her face. Once the tears dried, however, she balled her fists and stormed out of the penthouse. She wound up here, at this club, typing on her cell phone, a grim expression set on her face.

Pinkie, Koumei and Greg. If others were at the club, and wanted to join in, fine. She didn't think there would be others, though.

P3nn Station. 8pm. I'll pay.

Its a sophisticated little place, a jazz club with a good clientele, a good waitstaff - and a good chance they will be left alone for the most part. She might be asked to perform. Otherwise, though, the guards could have their own drinks, and she would be able to talk freely with those who came.

If they came. As time ticked away, she knew her idea was contingent upon people arriving, much less be amenable to it. If this didn't work out, well - this was a nice club. She could come here again in the future.

If fire was the solution to their problems, then Koumei was sure that Xanxus would have committed arson by now. They were going to need a subtle approach to this particular problem, but this was the point where he found himself faltering.

"What's the plan, then? You know I'm with you."

It was shameful to even ask but, without the resources he knew he should have, he didn't quite know how this 'invasion' would turn out.

Perhaps it could be, but there were more factors that Koumei needed to know about first.

"Who else have you contacted about this?"

"And Pinkie from....System Crash?" He made a soft, humming sound. "This is quite a rag tag bunch you've assembled."

Her anxiety wasn't without reason-- they all had seen what Santiago was capable of.

"We'll need to find a way to monitor her schedule first-- as that would be the easiest way if you want to do a break in. Otherwise, we may need to get a little....theatrical."

"Too low-key-- she won't care about them."

Flaring out his fan, Koumei waved off the suggestions in a gesture that was almost dismissive. "Our answer might be far simpler:" he added, and drew his fan close to his face-- as if to hide.

"We start a fire."
dishevelment: (deadpan)

"...I hope you're not thinking literally."

As if he would ever do legitimate damage to the building the lived in. Looking up at her from behind the fan, his eyes glinted with a steel that was unexpected for the quiet, self-effacing pianist.

"We just need them to think that there's a fire. That's all."

Her grin was a little too overeager for Koumei's comfort...

"Remember, we can't let our emotions run away with us. Mistakes happen that way, and it's no good for anyone."
dishevelment: (war counsel)

A solemn nod came in reply-- and Koumei once again found himself wondering where he had gotten this level of calm from. He was a person who preferred being in the background, so why did organizing plans like this come so naturally?

"That sounds about right. It's not perfect, but we don't really have the resources to do much better. And, like you said, getting too many people involved will just put everyone at risk; we don't want to make life more complicated than it already is."
dishevelment: (so tired of this shit)

"And I can't easily get in touch with my friends over there to check on him right now..."

It was worrisome, that there was a similar operation happening on Virgo's side, with even less support.

"I hope we all will," he intoned darkly, shifting uncomfortably as he pondered over the arrangements. As much as he didn't like getting children involved in something like this, somehow it felt like it was a necessary evil that they would have to contend with anyway. If all of their lives were at risk, they may as well get it out into the open and be done with it instead of worrying to the point where they couldn't sleep.
