You lay out good paths too.
SMEXAGON's choice.
As much as I'm a male, it's rude to ask a stranger her bra size.
Not to mention most women IRL would just stare at you with a wtf look and either call sexual harassment.
They don't seem to understand men have been harassing them since time immemorial. Not that it's a good thing either.
So yeah, the one about how she get her clothes on.

I get called for sexual harassment for holding doors open. If it's going to happen eventually, might as well do it by our own volition. [/flawlesslogic] |

Of course I'm joking. Except for the door bit, but nothing really came of it, so why bother to complain? |

Mike didn't exactly know how to react to the scene in front of him. These two sure became fast friends.
"CC, you said your entry fee was the use of your arms?"
"Yep," she replied, "Can't move. Shoulders down. They just kind of hang there. I can still feel them though, which is nice unless I get an itch!"
Spencer commented, "Kind of unfair don't you think? Throwing someone into this game with a handicap like that while everyone else seems fine."
Hm...does Zachi seem fine to him? I wonder what Spencer's entry fee was...wait, hold on.
"Uh...CC, how did change clothes without your arms? ...Spencer...?"
They both chuckled.
"We're a bit more resourceful than that." Spencer said with a smile.
"My pins," CC tilted her head towards the pins on her skirt, "Let me move my Psychs with my mind, thank god. It wasn't easy but it got the important bits done. Spency helped with the details."
Mike scratched his head, "My Psychs don't work when we're not fighting Noise."
Spencer nodded, "So we found some tadpoles and I just kept them off of her for a while. It also helps that we're, you know, invisible. You could take your pants off right now and nobody would care."
...something tells me he's right.
CC just looked around, not bothered at all. "You know, I really miss shrugging..."
At that moment Zachi came back with two hot dogs and bags of fries. The hot dogs were topped with yakisoba noodles and picked radish. The fries were seasoned with butter and shoyu.
"Yours." Zachi said, handing the food to Mike. He took it, wondering if this is the reason they say eating makes you braver.
Spencer got up from leaning on the wall and waved, "We should probably get going but uh, hey Mike, would you mind letting me take a look at your bike? I think I could get some ideas off the gears."
Heh? Is this mission related...?
Mike looked from CC, who didn't seem to notice a thing, to Zachi, who shrugged and sat down on the ground.
"I'm eating." she said plainly.
"Uh...sure why not." Mike replied to Spencer.
Spencer led the way. "Less crowded in the alley. I'll just be a sec."
When they were around the corner, Spencer knelt down to examine the gear switching mechanism in Mike's bike. He only took a few seconds, then he got up and grabbed Mike by both shoulders.
"Look, she's mine ok? You've got lab coat girl, leave CC alone."
Mike knocked Spencer's hands off his shoulders and backed up a bit. "Woah, dude, calm down. I...you...what? I'm just trying to be friendly! I'm not...whatever you're thinking."
Spencer sighed and shook his head, turning away looking ashamed of himself. "...sorry...yeah I'm...I'm being silly..." But then he looked Mike in the eye again.
"We're dead, Mike. And guess what? We have super powers. We can fight for as much money as we please. We can read minds and do whatever the hell we want to the living. I don't think I want to go back to being alive."
He started walking back to where the girls were, but then he called back, "So please don't ruin my chance with the only girl I could possibly ever touch."
Meanwhile, Zachi ate her Japadog. CC watched. And asked questions.
"...Your name's Zachi right?"
"Mhm."
"What's with the labcoat?"
Shrug.
"...you ever get bored being boring?"
"Mm-mm" Head shakes no.
A bit of silence.
"But you're still dressed to impress someone. I can tell. You could totally pull off my look if you wanted to."
Zachi was chewing. She stopped for a bit. Looked at CC as if she insulted her grandmother. Then resumed chewing. CC sighed and gave a small smile.
"Of course...you don't have to. Just saying."
Spencer and Mike came back into view. Spencer smiled and said "Hey man, thanks again."
He looked at CC, "We should get going. Noise to kill, things to buy. Let's go have fun."
CC giggled and made her way to Spencer's side. Mike sat down next to Zachi and opened his food, giving them both a wave.
"See ya I guess," Mike said, "We gotta do that mission at some point right?"
Spencer shrugged. "Sure. Yeah, see ya."
They left. Mike and Zachi ate.
...
"What'd he really want?" Zachi asked.
"For me to back off his girl." Mike replied.
"Figures."
...
"...you girls talk about anything?" Mike asked
"She wanted me to dress like her." Zachi replied
"Seriously?"
...
"I can tell you're trying to stare at me again."
Mike averted his gaze.
"She's something A. I'm two sizes larger. It wouldn't work."
Zachi got up, finished with her food. Mike was a fast eater so he was just about done too. He got up and quickly changed the subject.
"So mission."
"Yeah. Mission."
"King of the Colosseum..."
Zachi peered around and pointed down the street. "How about we start there?"

The Vancouver Central Library is a full scale modern day replica of the Colosseum in Rome. Mike wanted to kick himself for not thinking of this place earlier. He was thinking of like...one of the sports arenas...
Anyways, as they approached they definitely noticed something was off. Firstly, there were multiple Reapers in Red and Black all around it. Secondly, Pink Streak and Psychology were loitering around outside. Mike and Zachi made their way over to the familiar faces. Pink Streak was looking at a pin in her hand, while Psychology was watching the Reaper barricade.
"Hey!" Mike called.
They looked up, Psychology calling back "Ehya!" while Pink Streak just waved. Mike walked right up to them.
"I'm Mike, and..." he looked at Zachi, who was looking at her phone, "and this is Zachi."
Pink Streak looked up at him. "Good for you" she said. She checked her watch (gold, or at least plated). Psychology made a deflating action and got up, bringing his psychology textbook over to Mike.
"Taco locomo-" he shook his head and raised his free hand, then spoke again, but slowly and painstakingly. "...Sword...Riddle...Place."
Mike gave him a look, but he looked sincere. He read what was hand written on the page, probably by the girl considering the neatness of the writing.
Guy is Jesus (speak Hey-zoos). Entry fee was coherent language. Girl is ???. Entry fee was her name and memory. Call her Sparkles.
Mike looked up at Jesus and nodded. He moved to show Zachi the page, who spared a glance.
Dude...well, CC got it worse probably but still...damn.
"Jesus. Sparkles," Mike addressed both of them, "Nice to meet you. Good choice of name." He said the last bit to the girl.
She shrugged and pointed at Jesus, "His idea. I can't argue. And don't play at that, you don't like me, I can tell."
Well you aren't making it easy girl!
Mike sighed. "Mission. Fill us in. What's going on?"
Sparkles pointed towards the Library. "The Colosseum bit was obvious. The security is tight, but not to keep us out. They're probably there to keep whatever's inside in. We've seen six players enter and none leave so far."
She held out the pin in her hands, "Chris and So-yeon, you know, the lion and the mouse on the bus with us, went inside 30 minutes ago. He gave me of his pins and said that if he dies it'd fizzle out with him. It's still here but...well, 30 minutes is a long time. We thought we'd stay here to warn anyone else that comes along."
Mike looked at the Colosseum again. So Chris is in there huh?
"That's generous of you," Zachi said monotone, "Do you know anything else?"
"No," Sparkles replied, waving her hand, "I tried asking the Hoods but they aren't talking. And while Jesus is a nice guy...it's hard to strategize with him."
Jesus shrugged sheepishly.
"We were waiting for someone else to come along," Sparkles continued, "Any ideas?"
A) Chat with Sparkles some more.
B) Interrogate the Reapers.
C) Look for clues elsewhere.
D) Head inside.
E) Other.

C, it's unlikely they'd be making it this obvious. It's either a timesink in there, or it legitimately takes so long it'd be annoying.

E. Ask Sparkles for her bra size.
Kinda wish we did ask CC if only to spite Spencer.

Mike checked his hand. 2:00. Plenty of time in the day still.
"Zachi, what do you think?"
The girl looked up from her phone. "Whatever you want to do," she said, and her gaze dropped again.
Great...
"Well, why don't we look elsewhere? If the mission's in there, it's not going anywhere."
Sparkles nodded.
"I think we'll stay here for a bit longer," she said, "Give me your number. Something might happen."
She put Mike and Zachi's numbers down. Mike turned to Jesus but he just reached into his pocket in response. He pulled out a rather old looking flip phone, and then pointed to Sparkles as if to say "just text her."
As Mike and Zachi walked away, Zachi tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hm?"
"Where are we going?"
"Uh...well...I think Spencer and CC were headed to the mall. There might be some clues there. Maybe go shopping."
Zachi just looked at him.
"That was a joke." Mike added.
"Mhm."
...Mike continued. "Or we could check the stadiums. That's what I originally thought of."
"Ok."
"...you know I can't read your mind right?"
Zachi pointed up. Mike followed her gaze to the tall office buildings nearby.
"We could probably see down into the Library from the top of one of those things."
Huh, good catch.
"How would we even get up there?"
Zachi shrugged. "Invisible, remember?"
A) Climb a building
B) Try the stadiums
C) Head to the mall
