"I can't think of anything else... this place is giving me a weird vibe, like we missed something super important... but let's head out."

Ellen carefully rearranges everything back on the desk, and throughout the rest of the theater. You head back out of the theater the same way you came in. Alethea stays behind to put the rope and sandbag back where she found them. After a few minutes, she lowers herself half out the window and drops the rest of the way.
"Alright, then. Mission successful, eh?" Alethea says.
"I don't feel like we really accomplished much..." Ellen says again.
"Don't worry about that," Alethea assures her. "Now let's get outta here 'fore any flatfoots show up."
"Right. I'll, uh... I'll see you Friday night, I guess?" Ellen asks.
Alethea grins. "Yeah, sure thing."
Ellen nods, heads out the alley, then stops and turns back to wave before disappearing into the night.
Alethea stretches, then seems to remember you're there. "Ah, right, you. Eh. Look, I gotta go get this review written real quick-like, so keep your questions short, capiche?"

"What exactly are you after in this place?"

"Up to... here? Just doin' a favor for Elle. She's an ol' friend. It'd be a shame if she up 'n' disappeared. I love the Cl- that place we ate tonight, it wouldn't be th' same without her, yeah? 'sides, there may be a good scoop here, maybe somethin' good enough to land me my big break..."
You feel like she's being sincere.
A police car rolls slowly past the alley. Alethea grabs you and forcefully shoves you behind a trash can as a flashlight sweeps past. She holds a finger to her mouth until they pass.
"C'mon, we need t' get outta here," Alethea whispers. "Y'know how to get in contact with me, we can talk later if there's more. And... don't barge into the office like you did today. Just walk in an' calmly ask to see me, got it?"
You split up and head to your new home. Your sleep is fitful, full of disturbing dreams of half-demon babies...

Time: Day 2, Thursday
Location: Alley/Roy's HQ
You wake up in a cold sweat after a particularly bad dream. You find a black cat sitting on a trash can, staring at you.

"Mr. Midnight?" Roy asks the cat curiously.

The cat flicks its tail and observes you silently. It feels like it's judging you.

"Okay, seriously, what do you want?" Roy asks the cat, beginning to fell a bit irate.

Roy's Animal Handling check: 1/100 - Critical success
The cat takes what you realize is a defensive posture. You cautiously investigate the area, making sure to give the creature a wide berth. You find a few signs that it's been using this alley as a home. Huh.
It continues to glare at you.

"What the hell?!? When did I learn all this shit about cats.... uuuhhhhh... okay kitty, calms down... I'm leaving..."
Roy begins it move out of the ally carefully not doing anything that could alarm the cat.

The cat continues to stare as you leave, tail flicking from side to side. It doesn't make any moves.
That was dangerous. With that life-or-death battle with an 8lb ball of fur over with, Roy's free to get on with his day.

"Damnit, I could have gotten rabies... or AIDS!" Roy grumbles as he goes on his next adventure... well, it seems Alethea didn't say anything about any jobs today, and he's doesn't have any particular leads besides the Owner of the theater, so leads head to the theater and see if we can't find anything out.

You head to the theater. You notice the ticket kiosk is open, but it looks like the theater proper is locked up.

You walk up to the kiosk. There's a young man waiting for customers. He smiles as you walk up and asks how he can help you.
