I'll hop over with you guys as well, if that's okay.

No problem! We can be patient.
"Okay, just to be sure, that means Venice like here, not, like, real Venice, right?"
"Yeah, I'll pretty much just let you guys figure out what we should be doing."
"I mean, I was just assuming it was a phone, because you can see something got ripped out of the phone jack in the wall. So, if it turns out those were two different things, my bad."
After a short while, Pixie comes back out and passes Janice back her phone. "So, yeah. Looked like somebody ripped the phone out of the wall."
As instructed, she snaps a picture of it and keeps looking around.
"Got it." Pixie grabs the phone and flies back towards her entrance point. It's a bit tricky to grip so much surface area, but she's more than strong enough. It's a bit like carrying a large empty box. With the information gleamed from the conversation with the bums, Pixie once again searches the area.
Oh, sorry! No worries, I don't mind at all.
I can't really do any face stuff as Pixie. When she's full-sized, she's not Pixie, she's Faye. It's right there on her character sheet; the transformation to make her small includes the costume change to secret identity and back. So she has to stay small while on the job, which would make dealing with civilians awkward...
Pixie, not being very good with social encounters, just hides in Janice's pocket for this part.
I've been checking about once a day, but no one had posted until today, so...
Pixie carefully scoops out as much of the metal dust as she can. She doesn't have gloves, so she makes sure her fingertips don't touch anything as she's taking it. Unfortunately, that's very awkward, so the sample she takes is less than she might have wanted. "Do you have anything to put it in, or should I just..?"
"I was joking. And, uh... maybe? It's in this little cut thingy... maybe it's from a knife."
"Ow! I cut myself... anybody have a tiny band-aid?" She thinks for a moment, then calls out again. "Hey, do we need any of this, like, metal residue?"
"I don't think we're getting anywhere with this..."
Hey, I'm sorry! You haven't lost me, I just was busy with the holiday season and all, and it can be tricky to get back into habits.
"I can look around and see if I can find a light switch, sure... careful not to move too much in the dark, you might bump into something important."
She decides to open the window instead, deciding it would be easier than finding the key.
Once she's inside, Pixie looks for the entrance, and, if she can find it, attempts to unlock it from the inside.
I'm just glad to hear from you, GM, I was worried you'd vanished.
Pixie, after arriving, slips out to look for a way in.
Pixie rode most of the way there in Snapdragon's pocket. It was a bumpy ride, but far easier than keeping up her invisibility the whole time... that whole thing was a lot more taxing than you'd think.
"If you can stay out of sight, I guess. I know I won't get caught, but you're a bit more... noticeable."
"Okay, then who'd be coming with me? Drider?"
Maybe we should split up based on our individual strengths?
Mostly just the "walk around town hoping to find one specific person" one. That seems like a bad idea.
I don't really know what would be the best course of action. I mean, some of the possibilities seem obviously wrong, but you know.
"I guess? I mean, honestly, if all we have to do is spy on people, I don't really need help."
Pixie offered early on to help paint some of the hard-to-reach spots, but most of the time, she just finds places people aren't going to see immediately and writes naughty words on the wall.
I don't really know how experience works in this game. Is the "Total Earned" counting the points we used to build our characters in the first place?
"Jesus, you guys make Louisiana sound like hell."
"Rodents of unusual size? I... wait, hold up, you skipped Gamma."
"Whoa... this place is huge..." Pixie starts looking around, excitedly. "...wait, what was that about cockroaches?"
Yeah, I think it's fine if we move on from here. Not much more I can add to this scene.
"So... we're just gonna be tracking down cold cases and hoping they're from supervillains?"
Pixie grimaces from the pain. "Did anyone... get the number... on that truck?"
Would a secret organization like this just let Jack leave? Or would we just be retconning him away? ...it might be interesting if he came back as a villain. It would be thematically appropriate for a Star Wars-themed character, right?
Pixie will probably have to try harder to prevent people throwing things at her. Ironically, she'll probably be a lot safer if she stays in melee.
Okay, cool. I'm at -25. Did I take any body damage?
What exactly happens when you go below zero stun?
Ohhhh, okay. Gotcha.
The blasting seems to be working; if anything, it's getting Gridlock distracted. She figures she'll keep doing that.
My Pixie Powder has No Range Modifier. Does that not mean what it sounds like?
"Not from up here, you won't!"
Clearly, just being invisible isn't enough to stop . Luckily for Pixie, she happens to know one place Bolt won't be able to follow her... straight up! She zips up, then, confident that she's safe, fires at Gridlock again.
