[soon they were in front of the towering dept]
Peepers: (signs) There it is.
Sylvia: [just finished finalizing everything] ...OK, thanks, Computer [hangs up] OK, all done [looks up] Woah, this place is pretty big
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Alright, let's get this show started [stretched her knuckles]
Peepers: (signs) Let's.
[the couple made their way into the building]
Sylvia: [approached the reception counter] Hi, I'd like to peruse some records in here
Peepers: (signs) About my mother, Orb the Watchdog.
Receptionist: [searched the computer database] Tht would be under the slums area category, in the basement area. Here's ur access card [hands it to Sylvia n Peepers]
Sylvia: Woah, basement? Seriously? Thanks tho... [takes the card]
Peepers: (nod)
[the duo took the elevator n made their way dwn the basement]
Peepers: (looks around)
Sylvia: Seriously? Basement? Discrimination much?
Peepers: (signs) Maybe there's a reason?
Sylvia: Yeah sure, wat other reason than to put records abt the SLUMS in the basement where no one will come to look at it
Peepers: (shrugs)
Sylvia: Alright, let's see wat can we do here [sees a search engine podium] That should help us narrow down the search
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [went to the podium, flipped on the search engine n typed the date n address from the piece of paper Vision had]
Peepers: (waits)
[a mechanical sound was heard as a robotic arm came out n sifted through the shelves before finally finding the records n plopped them onto the table before them]
Peepers: :O (signs) Think that's...?
Sylvia: Maybe [closes the podium] We'll hv to sift thru those files to find wat we need
Peepers: (nod)
[the duo got comfortable n sat dwn to sift thru the files]
Peepers: (looks through a few files)
Sylvia: [looked thru some files as well, keeping an eye on the twins in the baby pram]
Peepers: ... (signs) Got something.
Sylvia: [looked up] Wat did u get, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (shows her)
Sylvia: [leaned in to look] Oh, it's the report abt the incident that happened to u guys
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Hmm... I think u might hv something here... [scanned thru the report] Hmm... Vision got sent to Hellsgate Galactic Prison... Orb n Peepers got sent to Grooves Hospital... Ah, here it is. Ur mom had no other living relatives so she's become property of the state, n thus is buried at a community cemetery nearby
Peepers: (think)
Sylvia: [scanned some more] There, the address of the community cemetery is right here. U better write that dwn
Peepers: (nod) (signs) Will do.
Sylvia: [passes him a note n paper frm her fanny pack]
Peepers: (takes it and writes down the address)
Sylvia: Guess that's that. Let's go chk out this community cemetery plc
Peepers: (like)
[the duo got out of the basement, returned the access card n left the building]
Sylvia: [hailed a cab]
Peepers: (was giving attention to the twins) ^^ ~ (heart)
Twins: (giggle)
Sylvia: [finally got a cab] Let's go, guys
Peepers: :) (helps get the baby pram in cab)
Sylvia: [passed the address to the cab driver] Take us to this address, pls
Driver: (nod) Yes, ma'am. (drives)
Sylvia: [sat bk to enjoy the ride] Nervous, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (looking out the window in thought) (signs) I guess so...
Sylvia: [held his hand] Don't worry, I'm here for u. I'll be by ur side all the way
Peepers: :) (squeezes back)
