Youkai hunting team
Wells Fargo Building rooftop
Los Angeles, CA, USA
-----
The three youkai stood on the roof of one of the skyscrapers in the city, as it rained hard through the night. But they coudn?t think about the weather, they had to focus. They were looking at another skyscraper across the street. A helicopter flies overhead and lands on the helipad, the side door opening up. Coming out were two humans.
?Just aim at the face of one of the humans getting out of that object, and press the button, Crossbone,? the lead youkai told one of her companions, a
youkai with a white skull-shaped cap, respecting that she didn?t know what a helicopter was.
Crossbone shuddered and blushed in frustration at that nickname, but got to work on the scanner, which looked like a pair of advanced binoculars.
Since the lead youkai knew that Crossbone doesn?t know how to handle it properly, she had it connected to a wrist-mounted screen, which she could use to guide Crossbone. The crosshairs were aimed at one of the humans, and the facial scan was underway. Midway, though, the man ducked his head under his arms, running from the rain, obscuring his face and disrupting the scan.
?Don?t stop. Keep it steady,? the lead youkai told Crossbone.
Rain?s doing no one favors.Eventually, despite complications, the scan completely, turning up a negative.
?Nope, try the other one.?
The youkai could see that the crosshairs moved to the man beside, who had an umbrella. The scan completed without problem, but it also came up a negative.
?Dangit. Well, we?re going to have to get back to Gensokyo before disbelief catches up to us, and try again another day.?
Well, for me, disbelief doesn?t matter, but it does for them. We?ll try again...----------
I think it's best not to disrupt Oscars going on there now...
