(This'll probably be my last post in this RP since the story's pretty much settled for now, so please try to wrap up your ends as well ~ thanks again for being a part of this!)

The young Huntresses stood inside the front of the police precinct as they waited for a taxi to take them back to the airship station. The ordeal had ended with the trio leaving with Oliver to get the latest on the diplomatic part of the situation, but it looked like they would no longer be involved in the conflict. Automne was completely fine with this, and even Platinum had to admit that there was little they could contribute at this point.

Fen glanced back behind them, and saw that the activity within hadn't ceased one bit even with the night already upon them. Although the police didn't have a great reputation for doing much in general, it was reassuring to see that they still worked hard despite their lack of publicity in comparison to Huntsmen and Huntresses.

Automne began speaking, interruptiing Fen's thoughts.

"So the gangster was a spy all along, huh? That wasn't something I was expecting, for sure." Automne was subtly taken aback by the realization that Lavender had been working for the police. Lav's street accent had been so genuine, her movements and swagger so genuine during their fight that she'd seemed no different from any of the other thugs. Since it had all been an elaborate ruse, Automne was wondering how the other Fox Faunus had developed such an authentic "criminal" air. ''Maybe she wasn't actually faking it... ''Automne knew herself that it wasn't uncommon nowadays for former street urchins to turn hero by receiving a good education if they weren't bad people inside. ''But maybe I'm jumping to conclusions... who knows? ''Even so, seeing competent individuals like Lav and Oliver in the police force meant that the role of "Hero" in society was taking a gradual shift outwards. A reassuring reality.

Fen laid a hand on her chest, feeling pain blossom up from several bruised points underneath. "Would've been nice if she didn't hit so hard."

"It was impressive, though, I have to admit, if she was able to fool everyone so thoroughly in order to gain valuable information on some of Vale's highest criminal heads." Platinum had pretty much figured out what had happened. Her friends had had a combative encounter with the spy, and in order to maintain her secrecy a brief fight had been unavoidable.

Fen shrugged. 'It's not a role I'd ever play. Anyway, our part's over now."

______________

For days after the incident at the mall all the major news stations covered the story in-depth, with eyewitness footage and professional analysis. Citizens were warned to avoid any suspicious masked individuals and to stay indoors at night until the crisis within Black Order Battalion had been resolved. News anchors sought interviews with the directly involved individuals, but received no reply back from their consistent requests for an in-person meeting. The story was still being covered when a  certain other meeting convened a few days later, completely unrelated to the one at the mall.

(I noticed that GL had a callback to this RP, so I felt the need to reciprocate it here)

''That's pretty much all I could think of saying. In case any of you were curious, I practically lifted the hijacking scenario straight from the first chapter of a manga called Kagerou Daze which I am personally very fond of. I didn't expect the RP to end up this exciting, but I'm looking forward to the prospect of a sequel.''
