EPISODE 4: Duels in Duet? Unlocking the Secret Stage!
June 23 - June 30
TIMELINE
6/23-6/30 Aquarium Cleanup & Midnight Diner
6/23 Investigate: Shelley Lustre
6/25 Investigate: Track & Trace
6/27 Investigate: Duet 77
6/30 Showdown: Amplitudina

It's another eventful month for the Nova Knights, but at least all eight of them come home at the end of it. The Aquarium is looking a lot better, but there are still some repairs that will need to be made before they can fill it with fish. The Midnight Diner has hosted most of the Nova Knights this week — perhaps some of them will even become regulars. Master's little hole in the wall is never less than anything welcoming.

On the 23rd, Maya and Mutsumi try and fail to learn more about Prince Shellustria's alter ego, while the Harbingers in turn learn more about the Nova Knights' Magic. After Shellustria realizes his identity has been compromised, he becomes a good deal more careful in concealing his movements.

On the 25th, Dirk and Natalia find the solution to Nautis's security concerns at Random Access Lock & Key — the owner, York, is a hacker for hire with an implanted (and highly experimental) AI named Delta. It seems that one of the Harbingers hired her to look into the security around Lucky Stars in the hopes that she might stumble upon the source of the signal that broke into the Abyss. But once the Nova Knights make contact, it seems to tip off the enemy, and they're soon attacked by techno shrimp from the Abyss, who were apparently conjured with Dream domain magic — that is, by someone other than Prince Shellustria.

Having just learned that not only is magic real, there are also magical alien bad guys trying to dominate their planet, York is more than happy to help the Nova Knights defend Earth. What can a hacker-locksmith and her trusty AI do to help them? That remains to be seen, but York is now a friend of the Nova Knights and can be called on whenever the Nova Knights need her help. She doesn't know anyone's secret identities and she's not prying, either — if anything, she seems kind of tickled to now be in the know about the city's (largely) teenage evil-fighting magic superheroes, and she'll keep their secret as long as they keep hers.

Nautis is none too pleased with the discovery even if it does have a relatively happy ending. If anything, the knowledge that she'd been discovered by a perfectly mundane, non-magical human being and Earth-created artificial intelligence, puts her in a spectacularly foul mood for the rest of the week. Delta and Nautis do not seem to get along. What a shocker.

On the 27th, Maya, Mutsumi, and Natalia conduct their investigation at Duet 77...by renting out a room and doing some karaoke together! On top of having a great time, they discover both the energy harvesting plot and the Secret Stage where the Abyssal monster Amplitudina guards the stolen energy. On the 30th, Hope and Dirk venture to Duet 77 to confront her once and for all, and with great success — not only do they win the fight, they manage to avoid any serious harm to themselves or the establishment, and thus another Harbinger plot is foiled!

And so, the three of them entered Duet 77! The latest, most powerful karaoke bar.

The sound of stone boots filled the air, punctuated by the occasional scraping of metal on linoleum.

Unfortunately, the counter girl was confronted first with all six feet plus of Nova Neos, imprinted with stone, crowned with a gold tiara, a little awkward with her slightly chunky vambraces, looking down at her, expression blank, and a quiet, but clear tone. "One room for three, please."

avemortis: (the message spelled out by a feeling)

WHAT THE HECKY I THOUGHT I TAGGED THIS ALREADY

The previously very bored-looking employee at the counter glances up from her phone up at Neos and her eyes go wide as she takes in what looks like a very imposing cosplayer and...two other gaudily dressed cosplayers behind her. You see some wild stuff living in Chalra City sometimes, and yet it doesn't always leave you prepared for the next thing.

"Uh...sure," she says, looking past Neos at the other two girls. One of them, clad in black and scarlet and wearing an almost full-face mask, almost looks like she's trying to hide behind the other two. "What name should I put down?"
theriflespiral: (gay panic)

Quick, think fast, think fast, nothing that tells them you're superheroes-- "Baba Yagashenka."

.... that

is the opposite of helpful, natasha
avemortis: (to make you notice)

"Uhhh...right," says the girl at the counter, furrowing her brow as she types in the name. Well, Chalra City has always had its fair share of weirdos. "Room six, down the hall on the left."

Nova Mortis nods at Neos and Glimmer and leads the way, apparently pretty confident in her ability to navigate a place like this even though this particular place is new.
