Sable kisses Lilian's cheek.

Gosh, is everyone in this group this... carefree?

She smiles and ducks her head. "I feel shy, but also... kind of comfy? It's a lot. But I feel safe?"

She smiles. "Oh good. There's only so much we can do about all of this being A Lot, but making it cozy-safe is probably the most important thing. Means we're managing to share any of what we get out of it."

"I have a feeling I'm going to like this place. Just a hunch."

Lilian smiles and nuzzles into Sable a little.

"I'm glad."

She strokes Lilian's hair some more.

And then Maya steps back out, wearing pyjama pants and a spaghetti-strap camisole. She eyes Neo's claim on Sable's lap, then leans down and kisses Sable, before sitting down next to Jade and starting to preen her wings.

"Good to see you, Lilian."

Neo grins and taps a few things on her scroll, and the big screen lights up in response. A library of movies scrolls down the display, and she picks out one called "Resemblance". The poster depicts two similar-looking actresses whose photos are cut down the middle with identically posed shots where they're made up to look like each other.

Ooh, looks interesting!

Oh hey, Violet.

Nice going, Lils. Can't believe you beat me to the punch.

Oh, shut up. 

There's no heat to it though. A good thing happened.

Violet grins and snuggles into Sable a bit more. 

"Hey," she says. 

Jade relaxes into Maya's gentle touch.

Sable grins and squeezes Violet. "Welcome back."

"You know I couldn't miss this." She grins.

Sable grins and kisses Violet softly.

She kisses back, soft and sweet. 

She so wants to rummage through Lilian's memories a little, but it would just be spoilers. Better to stick with the present for now. 

Neo reaches up and boops Violet on the nose.

She giggles and boops Neo's nose back. 

Neo snickers voicelessly, then taps her scroll to start the movie.

And Violet settles in to watch.

The movie opens with an establishing shot of a blonde woman in a business suit entering a bank, then slowly zooms out, pans around to face the other direction, and zooms into a hastily-rented office across the street where a similar-looking blonde can be seen watching the bank with a group of men and women.

"Gods, Sola," a man with rust-red hair says, "you really do look similar. This might just work."

The blonde — apparently Sola — nods.

Interesting setup. So it's an impersonation plot.

Sola starts explaining some basics of the planned heist and everyone's roles, complete with flashbacks of how she recruited each person. Meadow Parker, the team's acrobat, was Sola's friend and protégé, and helped her pick everyone out. Virica Sinter, the hacker, was recruited after getting away with hacking the Atlas military but getting caught for breaking and entering the next day, because she forgot to consider the physical angle. Ferric Carter, the safecracker, was found drunk and bored in a bar, because he didn't have any good target ideas. Venta Chantrelle, the getaway pilot, was poached from her job as a stunt pilot in movies. Ceramos Wallman, the hitter, was found in a fight club in Vacuo. Lastly, Sola Reverie herself is the team's fixer.

Violet settles in a little more against Sable.
