A plume of smoke rushed from the opening door as Amanda stepped out, pulling a pair of gloves from her hands. She was dressed in a little black dress, and her sleek ponytail was as high as her heels. She slipped a black face mask off as she reached the street and disappeared into the crowd, raising a phone to her ear. She could hear emergency services arriving somewhere behind her. Mission Accomplished, she reported, and she wouldn't even need a potion. She could head back to Shin-Ra and start writing her report. But... she was in Mako-Electric. Paperwork would be at HQ tomorrow.
And that dress was wasted on disarming a bunch of possible AVALANCHE sympathizers before electrocuting them until their eyes melted and their clothing burst into flame. It was a loud and gruesome affair. Good. It was why Shin-Ra sent a SOLDIER and a Turk. This was the penalty for assassinating Shin-Ra Executives. People who were seen speaking to confirmed members of AVALANCHE died bloody. Or burned.
Amanda reached the high street and looked between the buildings. Just looking at the thumping club and the people going into it made her exhausted. And as a man ogled her as he stumbled out of the bar in her direction made her think a stiff drink wasn't the best idea either. Instead, she avoided him and walked into the restaurant a few doors down.
It was as loudly decorated as any of the establishments on the street, and the menu was just as colorful. It was a casual eatery called "Bertha's Big Mouth Burgers." Amanda couldn't remember the last time she had a burger. She looked at an advertisement for the apparently vegan Crispy Cactuar Sandwich.
She looked around the establishment and took a seat, with her back to a wall. She couldn't find one facing the door. Ah well. She perused the menu anyway and tried to relax. Even AVALANCHE wouldn't be stupid enough to attack her there.
Maybe.

The former Turk didn’t look up as several people went running by the large sash windows with their cafe style shutters. A moment passed before a young man in a button up and tie stepped inside and glanced around. He caught sight of Amanda and waved cordially before making his way over to her table and sliding into the seat across from her.
