stakeouts by yourself are boring.

there was a time in maisie's past life where she enjoyed them. just shooting the shit with her partner-- her work partner, not her life partner, (though what was the difference, really?)-- and chowing down on some gas station snacks while they waited for something of note to happen. now she has no partner, and no car, so it's just her on her own two feet, hitting the pavement as usual.

the target this time is a supposed black market dealer who works with smugglers bringing in paldean pokemon. the goal isn't to arrest them, but to get information from them so she can follow the path down to the smugglers themselves. first, though, she has to find the right location.

and that's when she bumps into a face she recognizes, though it's not someone she's ever spoken to.

maisie lowers her hand, cigarette still pinched between two fingers. "oh, hell," she grumbles. "you're with the HBIC, aren't you? didn't know they were workin' this case too." she sticks her tongue out, light glinting off the stud in it. she keeps an eye on most of the detectives in the area. they're technically competition, after all.

Typically, smuggling cases were of no interest to him. It was not a crime he particularly cared about. Nor were the methods hard to determine. But this particular criminal employed interesting methodology. There were also signs of Rocket involvement.

Nikita turns to face Maisie. The face she sees looks like a horror movie reboot of the once famous detective. His cheeks are sunken and sallow. The pianist fingers are stained the sickening color of nicotine. In many ways, the Houndstone typically at the man’s side looks more alive. But his gray eyes are still sharp as knives.

The severity of that gaze falls upon her like a guillotine. Smoke furls from his mouth like the exasperation that coats his words. Though part of it is her lack of discretion, he also detests the girl’s way of speaking. He wonders what enunciation had done to her. “Perhaps we shouldn’t announce that to an entire city block.” He is dressed to fit in. His normal posture is different. A fake scar through his lip draws attention.

Beside him, a burly Nidoking stands. The lack of Winters at his side is enough to throw many off his scent. “They are doing nothing.” This investigation—like so many—is his own.

maisie looks thoughtful, nodding along. "i see, i see..." then he's like her, for now. she wonders if he has a client, or if he's here on his own prerogative. in her case, she was asked to gather some information by a client who'd been ripped off. it's not glamorous, but it puts food on the table.

"there's nobody else around here right now," she says. "i had my mate dante check things out." at the sound of his name, a small dreepy pokes his head out from where he was hiding in her hair. he regards nikita with solemn eyes and then retreats again, only the tip of his nose showing.

maisie sticks a hand out. "nice to meet ya, sir sokolov. th' name's maisie maudlin, owner and proprietor of the mausoleum in lilycove. if we pool our resources we might get this done a bit faster." then she can be home in time for the horror movie marathon that's running until 6 in the morning... "howzit? two heads is better'n one."

The detective wonders where people get all this air to waste. Why did they have to parrot themselves like that? Did some subset of the population find it charming? “I am sure.” Nikita murmurs in response. Those golden orbs seem unlikely to miss much. They remind him of an alley cat’s eyes in the darkness. “Perhaps say it one more time to make certain.”

A salt-and-pepper brow jerked upward. This place was one of shadows and second-guessing. People could hide themselves quite well. Nikita settles for a incredulous,. “Is that so?” The man seemed unimpressed by the investigator’s ‘mate.’ Its shy nature does not raise its status in his regards. He doubted they were aware of Winters’s presence. Then again, Damian was difficult to ignore, especially with his impractical pince-nez. “Surely nothing escapes his notice.”

One skeletal hand reaches out to return the greeting, His movement is slightly hesitant, mostly because he has no idea where this woman’s been. His grip is light. Again, he finds his face shifting in confusion. “Sir Sokolov?” The last he checked, no one had knighted him. Though, if they had, he would not have actually attended the event. Empty grandstanding was not worth his time.

When his hand came back, it briefly swiped across his pants. They were jeans, something he had not willingly worn in over a decade. “The mausoleum?” What a macabre name. He was not familiar with it.

“That depends on the heads.” There’s a brief pause as he looks her up and down. His Nidoking does the same before turning back to the alley. “I am curious what resources you are referring to.”

maisie grins at him, amber eyes narrowed. "elementary, my dear watson!" she pulls something out of her satchel-- a tablet, its case adorned with various stickers of pokemon, skulls, and flowers. it's exactly the sort of thing you might expect someone like her to have. she certainly doesn't act her age, but it's all part of getting people to lower their guard around her. besides, it's fun to play to someone's expectations like this.[break][break]

she presses a button and the screen on the tablet comes to life. "dante wasn't just checking for people," she explains as she navigates through a menu. within moments, there's video on the device. it looks remarkably like security footage, with four views being offered of what seems to be the same general area. "i had 'im place several cameras connected to this live feed 'ere. nobody's gettin' in or out without me knowin' about it."[break][break]

she brings up one specific view, enlarging it, claw-like nails tapping on the screen impatiently. "they cover all entrances and exits. and if i connect my bluetooth to 'em, i can hear what's bein' said."[break][break]

maisie looks back up at nikita. "thinkin' that counts as 'resources', eh?"
