Tuesday

"You want me to what?"

Walt looked up from petting Zwei and asked, "Not possible, Bulma?"

Bulma sighed. "I mean... sure, technically I can make a scouter mk32 for a canine... but why?"

Walt and Zwei both tilted their heads looking at her.

"Because he's a good boy." "Bark."

She sighed. "You ask for the strangest things sometimes, Boss... alright. Let's get a model of his structure and sizing to work off of!"

Walt grinned and so did Zwei. "He's remarkably intelligent and perceptive. I doubt he'd be able to give Friday "requests" verbally exactly but we know similar Data dogs with intelligence who can use VR systems so there's a chance. Want me to get Ed and Eins to work on it with you?"

Bulma nodded. "Yeah, that'd be a help," she said as she scanned Zwei into the system throughly.

Walt nodded."Friday can you have Edward and Eins come down here to assist the Bulmas, Please? Thank you."

(("Understood, Boss"))

Walt noted her tone was slightly annoyed at the prospect. "Ed only wants to play with you, Friday. Play chess or a game with her?"

(("She still keeps trying to "Hack" the deeper levels."))

Walt sighed. "She can't help herself between projects. Is it a problem?"

(("Not at all. Just annoying. It would be like if you had a stalker, Boss."))

Walt nodded. "I'll try to have a chat with her again about it. She'll back off and behave for a bit with this project... probably."

(("I would bet the opposite, Boss."))

Walt sighed and nodded. "You might be right. Tell them it's from me and if they're good and behave themselves I'll set up a game between them and Data. That should keep them both happy or maybe Zwei can play Eins?"

Zwei looked up. "A girl and her dog. A Corgi like you but also smart. Play nice for awhile and we'll go out "hunting" as soon as I take care of work, ok?"

"Arf!" Zwei agreed.

Walt nodded. "Done deal!" He looked up at two of the Bulmas. "And ladies... nice work on the cleaning. Keep it up!" He gave them all a thumbs-up and slapped down some credits. "Next Hetap™️ is on me. Make sure you drink it in a designated area this time!"

They grinned. "Yes, Boss!"

Most of the morning passed quickly enough. A bunch of things to take care of but they were the minor boring things mostly. He was trying to work ahead though so he could keep his appointment for tomorrow. It was also important.

He authorized the construction of another base apreading the 3S network, verified a personal request for a special project, denied someone who wanted 3S to do their wedding (3S doesn't do weddings. Period. Call us if Armageddon happens though and you've left the event), signed, initialed, stamped, the documents and everything else that came with a job this big. It sounded harder than it was though. Friday did most of the heavy lifting as usual.

Eins and Zwei had played nice. Data had agreed to play with Edward. StarTrek Tridimensional Chess was proposed and they both sounded happy about it. Balalaika had escorted Zwei back.

He looked at Walt and Walt nodded. "Friday?"

(("You should be all set. Do you want one or two of the others to join you?"))

Walt thought about that. Some of them had serious skills... but he had no idea what they were going to find or what they'd be walking into.

Aela, Lydia and Serana were watching over home with Roberta and Sayoko. It was unlikely that anything would happen but it was a comfort knowing that they were there. Demona with her effective immortality and Anastasia would be great choices but he didn't trust them that far yet. Mystique was a no go.

Penny, Neo, Pyrrha and the others too. Neo would be ideal for this but he didn't want to interrupt her and the others sign language classes.

He needed either someone who was capable or wouldn't need protection, that could look non threatening if needed and wouldn't mind missing out on a class and wouldn't suffer for it... he could only think of two candidates and one wasn't a fighter. Besides he'd promised to spend time with the other one.

"Come on, Zwei. Let's go pick up a dragon."

"Bark!"

"Thanks for lunch, Walt!" Ilulu said. "That was really good!"

"Arf!" Zwei agreed wiggling his butt.

Walt grinned. "I'm glad you both enjoyed that... Ilulu, hold still." He started to wipe her face clean for her. "There you go. Much better. Clean and pretty!"

She blushed but grinned. "Thank you. Can I clean up your face in return?"

Walt blushed too. He must be wearing his food again. "Sure. I don't see why not-whoa!"

She pulled him down and Walt worried for a second. Then she started licking his face. "Haha! Ilulu! That's not how humans usually do it. Haha! Zwei!"

Zwei wanted in on it too and started licking the both of them. "Bark!"

"Right! Tastey! Hahaha!" Ilulu agreed.

"Ok! Enough you two," Walt chuckled and wiped his face. "We should get back to hunting around. I'll dispose of our trash and you two see what you can sense."

"Okay!" "Arf!"

Walt took care of their trash for them. Ilulu looked at Zwei. "I've never smelled them before so this unfortunately this will mostly be up to you."

"Arf!" Zwei told her.

Ilulu smiled. "Once for "Yes", right? You're telling me you got this? Alright then! I'll do my best to back you up!"

They have a lot of luck tracking down RWBY characters but sadly not the ones they were looking for.

A Weiss working in a maid cafe. Apparently it was for maids with attitude. She was a big hit.

A Ruby who had been trained to work in a daycare. She was good with the children and kept them safe. They looked happy.

A stray Nora living outside of a Goth IHOP. She didn't want to leave and the staff oddly enough didn't want her to either. Apparently she did odd jobs in exchange for pancakes. Management begged Walt to turn a blind eye, and she did seem relatively good, so he did, but only after buying her and Ilulu a "Pancake stack of the Endless". Their **** server thought that was very sweet of him. He explained he liked to watch her character eating and happy.

The "Cat's Meow" cat girl Cafe they found with a Blake, Kali, Sienna and other feline characters was interesting and surprisingly not a sketchy place at all! Just a place to hang out with cute catgirls. Extra stuff was up to the individual cat girl and most didn't. It wasn't that kind of place primarily.

They stayed for a little while to apologize for Zwei's disruption of their business after they calmed him down. Walt talked with the owners while patting a Katt from a Breath of Fire instance while Ilulu played with some cute catgirl from something he didn't recognize. Apparently they were just fans of cat girls and while business wasn't great, it was steady. They wished they could open other similar themed places but they just didn't have the capital and trouble finding investors. They had a long talk and Walt handed him his card, explaining he liked what he'd seen so far, asking for them to make an appointment with him so he could hear their proposals. They were shocked and excitedly agreed to meet with him on Thursday!

Still they hadn't had any luck In finding ladies from the instance that they were looking for. The neighborhood they were heading towards was a little sketchier too. Still it shouldn't be awful at this time of day.

"You smell something boy?" He asked.

Zwei barked wiggling his butt. That was a definite yes.

"Walt?" Ilulu asked pointing at some of the risqué attired folks and establishments. "What is this place?"

Walt sighed. "A red-light district. It's focus is on "adult" entertainments, Ilulu. Bars, nightclubs, underground fighting dens and concerts, gambling and host clubs..."

"Howdy there, Cowboy!" Cat called a provocatively dressed Ashe from Overwatch. "Care to saddle up for a ride and unload your iron?"

Walt shook his head and the others looked at Ilulu who even moderately dressed had curves to rival some of the heavily modded ladies. "Hope you're not planning on selling?" D. va said. "This spots spoken for, so ya know."

"Just passing through. Thanks, ladies," he said noticing their pimp watching.

Ilulu looked at Walt. "And what entertainment industry are they working? If your iron is heavy I can help you with it!"

Walt blushed and said, "they are soliciting customers for... well, for sexual relief I suppose is how best to describe it."

"Oh," said Ilulu nodding. "Naughty stuff! You can make money doing that?"

Walt nodded. "Sure can. Some claim that it's the oldest profession."

"Huh," said Ilulu thinking about that. "I guess I learned something today after all."

Walt nodded following Zwei as he led them underground. "Sures seems like it."

Ilulu looked at Walt. He seemed bothered by it a bit. It was odd because no one else did. She took his hand. "You don't like it?"

Walt sighed but squeezed her hand and gave her smile. "Not particularly but I don't want you to have to see something bad or upsetting. Also the fact Zwei is leading us here makes me worry about how who ever we'll find has been treated. It's not so apparent now in the daylight but..." he drew Ilulu's eyes to the shadows where a lot of sketchy activities were going on. "It gets worse later and underground."

She nodded as they passed a "shop" bringing in merchandise. "Hey Mister!" Said a hawker "Your dragon girl or her mods for sale? Maybe you want some new mods for her? Or a new "used" model? You like tits? We just got a Nami in with a "big" cow girl mod and a "double breasted" Jessica Rabbit if you know what I mean!"

"Not today. Thanks," he said walking past the "salvage" operation.

Ilulu peaked into the shop as they walked past. "Oh, I see. They've been altered like Raven but even more so?"

Walt nodded as they passed a few more shops and establishments. "They have. There's a big "aftermarket" on mods and characters... and not all of it is done safely or legally. Ilulu, if things get funny you have my permission to defend yourself and get home. That's a number one priority."

"Ok!" She said.

"What? Now?"

Roman Torchwick speaks into his phone looking at the pictures someone sent him. "No. Definitely stay away. Infact pull out of the area and suspend all operations until further notice. Immediately! Beowolf in a fucking basket! He got his hands on one of those damn mutts!"

Roman sighs. "That's just great. It's probably another of Kelly's fuck ups. He died too easy."

He pauses for a moment. "That girl with him... can anyone confirm if she's talking?"

He listened as he played with Melodic Cudgel. "I see... no, that's all for now. Deploy the scent counter measures. Everyone close up shop and disappear."

He puts his phone away. "We'll settle our score some other time, Cowboy." He muttered.

"Interesting," said the mustachioed man in the corner drinking. "And you always on Cinder about not mixing personal and professional business but... you have a bone to pick with that man."

Roman fingered his hat. "Unlike her I won't let it interfere with business. We could have a good thing going here and it's bigger than our personal grievances. That said, if we have to take him down... I'm going to enjoy it. He'll pay for taking my Neo."

Arthur Watts leaned forward smiling. "Like Kelly did for losing her?"

Torchwick laughed ruefully shaking his head. "No. He deserved much worse. He got off far too lightly... but what's done is done. You think I'm in the wrong?"

"Quite the contrary," Watts said. "Nothing is better than well executed ****. I can respect for you that, Roman. James and Pietro aren't here but I'll enjoy making do and playing with their "doll" before and after we take the maiden power from it."

Roman laughed. "You know Watts, I had a feeling you might! This could be the start of a beautiful working relationship!" He frowned though and shook his head. "Just like "Red" this guys got an annoying habit of complicating my business and getting in the way. We should get out of here too. That damn canine is uncanny."

It suddenly seems like Zwei and Ilulu's sense of scent is thrown off. It leads them around and around the area.

Zwei whines while Ilulu nods. "Weird it's like their scent is everywhere now. Either someone's had a busy day or there's a ton of them here but we can't find them."

Walt nodded. *Or someone did something to through us off... we got scent bombed somehow. But that also means something is here, it's my turn!*

"Well there's no use crying about it." He said. "Let's just try walking around for a bit."
