"I won't do it in the middle of the street, then."

"Probably best not to transform back in public anyways."

"Well. Yeah."

"Can I stay here? For the night?"

Tigery bounce! "Yeah!!!"

"Thanks."

Here goes...

Ohhh, she's tired now.

Pop! She, very offensively, is not tired at all. She does however use her energy to pull back the covers for Ellie, if she wants to go ahead and lay down. 

Mrrr. Yeah, she does.

(Ellie's cute when she's grumpy.)

"Wanna cuddle?"

"Sleep," she mutters.

No cuddling while sleeping? 

Mrrrrrr.

She'll leave Ellie be, then. "Do you want the room to yourself?"

"'S your room."

"Still. I can keep myself busy if you'd rather. See the city nightlife and all." Or find a quiet spot to do some scrying for another bounty raid...

Nnnnn no thinking only sleep.

"H've fun."

"See you in a bit!" She'll turn the lights down and set a spare key card on the desk plus some cash and the number for room service, with a note of 'If you wake up before I'm back feel free to put stuff on my account or whatever.' 

And then she heads out into the city. It's actually not that far from dawn, Ellie did a really good job staying up... But it's close enough that she can still get a good feel for the city's night rhythms.

She probably doesn't have time to hit more than one or two places before they all start shutting down. Unless she more interested in what happens out on the streets.

Hmmm... Honestly, she wants to start scoping out the organized crime - and nightclubs can be a good place to find whoever's selling the good stuff. 

Sounds like a plan!

It's not too difficult for her to find an appropriate venue given her skills, nor to find therein the corner table where deals are made.

Getting into those deals requires a somewhat different skillset, though - which includes both 'charisma' and 'prettiness.' It's borderline easy mode to find whoever looks likely (a combination of 'actually knows relevant things' and 'will do stupid things to impress a pretty girl,' which is in her experience much more common than most organizations would prefer) and wind him around her little finger. The bar closing at two in the morning is, after all, such a drag - she isn't from the area, you know, and where she's from the party goes all night long. (She pretends to be from a tourist town she's familiar with, one known for its nightlife.) Surely refined gentlemen like themselves know where she can find the real entertainment - ?

Well... (Smirk). Not to brag, but they do have connections. For a pretty thing like her, they might be able to make some introductions.

Oh, she'd like that very much. (Suckers.)

Then they will happily escort her to a private venue, chock full of mafia types. Seems to be mostly crew leaders passing over the bosses' share of the take, and celebrating a week's worth of "hard" "work".

(Score.)

She won't do anything suspicious tonight - but she'll get a feel for the people around her (enough to scry them later) and string along her new toy enough to get invited to future get togethers.
