Pippi has posed:
    "C'mon Pex, this way!" Pippi whispers as she moves along the rooftop. She's carrying something with some weight in her bag, and Alopex had caught her sneaking out to do a patrol, aloe, without even Leonardo knowing about it... but Pippi was just as excited to have Alopex along. She skids along a rooftop, coming to an old warehouse that's been renovated into 'gig space' and 'practice rooms' for bands, rentable by the hour, the week, or the month. She had sent Gwen a message earlier that day: "meat ad where house ware em jay meat Mai." -- voice recognition was a little spotty with sewer echoes, but Pippi seemed absolutely, positively GIDDY about something she's stashed in her bag.

Alopex has posed:
    Caught was a word for it. Coming along was another. Either way, the fox had been planning to run out one way or another tonight and doing so with Pippi and her new gear made plenty of sense. She had decided to let Pippi take the lead which is the reason for the excitement, or so Pex believes, anyway. She wasn't really aware of what was being carried, nor the meet up with Gwen. She's fairly quiet as she moves along, watching the streets go by under them. "Quiet night so far."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen was a little skeptical. I mean translating the text definitely was not immediate but considering that Pippi was a dog not too long ago that is some very impressive texting.

Anyhow she hadn't seen or caught up with the pupstar in way too long so this sounds like a great plan for Gwen.

She did stop and pick up some brugers, fresh, hot, and from five guys with some hot dogs too boot.

She is practicing her drums whie she waits as well having swung over, but in her civvies... well once she confirmed if Pippy meant right now or later first of course.

Anyhow they definitely hear the drumming as they approach.

Pippi has posed:
    Pippi's texting was agumented with speech-to-text. And text-to-Speech. Doggo still hadn't caught up with reading.

    Pippi hears the drumming, and she pokes her head into the window, pressing her nose up against the glass first before she swings it open.

    "HI GWEN IT'S BEEN A WHILE I BROUGHT ALPEX AND DO I SMELL HOTDOGS AND BURGERS I BROUGHT FOOD TOO--" she states all at once, opening the window, leaning in, and then tumbling, grabbing the window frame and giving a suprised and very un-ninja like yelp a sshe crashes into a highly convienient pile of carboard boxes.

    "M'Okay!"

Alopex has posed:
    The sound of percussive insturments, at a distance, catches the fox's attention. When Pippi moves right for the converted warehouse, peers in, and then tumbles into the rented area, she actually laughs. Patrol is nice, friends are great, mix in food? Amazing night.

    After Pippi makes her entrance, Alopex's head appears in the window a moment later, looking down to make sure pup is alright. When she confirms this, Gwen is given a nod of greeting. "Hello, Gwen," she offers before showing herself in, landing aside the pile, offering Pippi a hand if it is needed.

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen's spidersense doesn't really go off, because well there isn't really danger here.

She does look up from her drumming when Pupstar says all that stuff reall loudly. Then falls into the warehouse into the pile of cardboard. "owch." Gwen notes with a wince. Twirling her sticks and tucking them away as she moves to stand.

Then the foxes head appears in the window and she lands, much more gracefully like a Ninja. "Oh hey..." trying to remember for a minute if she revealed herself to the Pex or Pippy or ... turtles.. damn secret identities are hard. Eh what the hell they are mutant animal ninjas, not like they will tweet about it right.

"So yes I got some five guys burgers and hot dogs.... I figured you might like food.... Hey Alopex."

Pippi has posed:
    To Pippi, yes. Pippi had inadvertantly outted Gwen, but the turtles had no idea, aside from Donatello and his crush on butts.

    Pippi knew though. She hops up out of th eboxes, none the worse for wear as she brushes herself off.

    "I brought bacon sandwiches with cheese and peanutbutter bacon cookies. I promise, no dumpster diving this time. Donnie got me in trouble the last time." she admits, just excited as anything to be around her first really good friends.

    "OH! And I was... ah... I was curious if you'd help me out with something... I kiiinda got permission for it."

Alopex has posed:
    "The food is much appreciated, so yes, thank you," Alopex offers before watching Pippi pop out of the box pile. Huh. Pippi brought food too? The fox is surprised she didn't notice it. A moment later, a question. "Hmm? Help with what..?" did she forget something?

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen's scent is. .very familiar but not recently so.

"Oh.. well those do sound good but they probably will keep well cold and the cookies sound like dessert. We can start with the warm food perhaps?"

Optimistic right.

"And yeah sure... happy t help with stuff Pupstar... what are you needing... someone beat up?"

Pippi has posed:
    pippi takes a breath as she sits down to the side, and she goes into her bag, and excitedly pulls out -- a box of hair dye.

    Bright. Magenta. Hair Dye. That rambuncious purple-red assorted with poison pokemon and guest-star puppers from children's shows staring a guy name Steve and appropriately named animated inanimate objects.

    "I don't have much experience with this stuff." she admits, "... aaaaand I can't read the instructions."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen walks over to snag the bags of food and then heads to see what treasure Pip is emerging with there from that bag. "Ooh..." it isnt a bad oh though. Not at all.

"Okay yeah I definitely know my way around hair dye..." she promises and then reaches for the box, swapping it for the food bags. "Okay.. few questions... one.. where did you want the dye... two.. how are the Turtles and everyone else... Three I haven't seen much Foot activity they still a problem in town?"

Pippi has posed:
    "On.. .my heeead?" Pippi states, and she pulls down her hood. Between her ears there is a shaggy, poodle-curl pile of mixed red and white 'hair', sitting down with a hotdog and a hamburger, one in each hand.

    And at the question of Foot activity, Pippi's ears pin back a moment, and then she takes a deep breath.

    "Ah, I think we kinda sorta accidentallied into some weird alliance with the Bigpen and the Nightwatcher and I think this guy with a mask and a sword called Sorro and anyway there's been some Foot activity and a little while back I was on patrol with Leo and Donnie and Pex and there was some foot stuff in Queens but for more indepth information I should probably ask Leonardo." she states, and looks up at Gwen.

    "You're my friend, and I don't want to involve you in more trouble than I have to."

    Nomf. Burger.

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen notes dryly "I'm a crime fighting spider enhanced hero in New York City ... I doubt you could up my trouble levels really Pupstar. Also I promised to help you all with these problems remember." she turns the box over still reading the instructions.

"Is the FBI agent turned lion still okay or did things not work out there?" okay yeah she feels most bad about that part really.

"Also.. hair dye question.. jus the white patches or like red too?" studying Pipi's poodle curl.

Pippi has posed:
    Alopex is probably playing silent watcher, nomfing burger and letting Pippi call shots.

    "Yeah, but I'm still like, super new to the heroing thing, and I don't want to do anything that would make Leo cross withme. He and Alopex have been working the hardest on getting me cought up with all my skills." she admits, ".. sometimes I lose track though."

    "Co... Nemean is... working through some stuff. I don't see him much. I run a lot of patrols so that Splinter and Leo can help. I think it's helping." Pippi states quietly, and then she blinks.

    "What do you mean white patches or red too? ... won't it turn everything that color?" she asks, pointing at the bright pink on the top of the box. "Did I get the wrong stuff?"

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen gets the impression that Alopex is often the ilent watcher making sure things are good but not talking a lot. Based on all the encounters so far. So really this jives.

"Well true don't piss Leo off but to tell Donnie he should text me." yeah she knows what motivates some of the turtles.

"So you've been training hard and Nemean.. huh.. cute.. greek.. is also training and working through stuff. That is all good."

She turns the box to point. "Well yes you can do that.. or you can dye just some spots and not others.. or even dye it multiple colors of shades... if you know what you are doing you can be very precise with hair dye." she considers "We may need to bleach then dye the red patches if you want all of it pink?"

Pippi has posed:
    "... you mean like the laundry stuff? I don't think I have any of that." Pippi replies, rubbing the back of her head a moment as she looks to Gwen with a wince. "Is... that going to mess everything up?" she asks, and she glances down. "Alopex is the only one with any sort of fur that she dyes, and I could ask Donnie, but he'll probably give me three hours of talk about moles and planks and stuff. I don't even know what a *mole* has to DO with a *plank*, don't they live underground?"

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen gestures to the food and then seems amused. "I do my hair dying in the industrial bathroom here... it doesn't really matter if I get pink on the walls so I should have the supplies to take care of this and help you Pupstar."

"After food though..." she reaches in to get a hot dog out and unwraps the end eating it carefully now. "I also have no idea what that means but I am sure Donnie would have some sort of lecture... I bet he might build a fur dying machine too first."

Pippi has posed:
    "I once asked about what moles had to do with tin. and he gave a two hour long lecture. I fell asleep." Pippi sticks her tongue out slightly. "Gimmie food network or physical training and I'm good! For /hours/! Leo is even upping the speed of the strikes during our spars. I even took on the Nightwatcher by myseeellf don't tell Leo about that part. He worries."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen plops down on a crate and works on her hot dog as she listens to Pippi. Honestly she isn't even sure yet what moles and tin have to ... "Wait. .Molocules?" making a guess. Hell she aint sure.

"Also who is the Nightwatcher.. is he a good or bad guy... he sounds like a bad guy...?"

Pippi has posed:
    "To be honest? Half the time when Donnie starts on things, I listen 'cause it's polite. He's way smarter than me." she admits as she spluts in her natural W instead of sitting cross-legged

    "I think he's a good guy. But not a good good guy? Like he's trying hard and he's tough. He looks like kinda an armored big short guy. He has these chains that come outta his gauntlets like 'pew pew!' and he's really good at fighting. He was there when this Fisk guy wanted us to kinda help him out against the Foot Clan, and his guys brought me to the meeting because I had a dumb moment and spoke out."

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Wilson Fisk... the rich guy?" yeah Gwen hasn't ever had a run in with the Kingpin of Crime. "Why would he want all of your help with the Foot.. why is the Foot even interested in him?" she is quite puzzled about that really.

"Wait some guy is copping my style but with chains out of gauntlets... okay that is way lamer than spiderwebs."

Gwen gestures to the food. "You done eating and want to see if we can dye fur amazing colors Pip?"

Pippi has posed:
    Pippi gives a shrug, "He was just this freakishly huge guy and he was scary enough to get Nightwatcher to take off his mask. Guy must be hella ugly, because Fisk almost laughed." she states, then glances back at the food -- quickly finishing her burger, and her hotdog, and she wipes her hands on some napkins as she chews and gives a thumbs up. Unmistakeable. Let's do this!

Ghost Spider has posed:
"Huh that sounds really complicated actually.... I should definitely ask Spider-man about it all and see what he has to say later."

She slides off the crate to her feet and tosses her wrapper in the bag.

"Great... baathroom is this way... it is probably going to smell pretty chemical extreme to your nose but I swear I do know what I am doing." heading to the bathroom with the dye box.

Pippi has posed:
    "Wait, wait, there's a Spider-man? Is he like, a giant spider? I knew one of those once!" Pippi replies as she goes out to follow Gwen towards the bathroom -- and getting close there the pooch does, in fact, halt, taking a deep breaht and the fur on her neck standing at rapt attention as she gives a 'ngggggg....' and wincing, she actually covers her nose with her palm and progresses.

    "Gwen, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be here."

Ghost Spider has posed:
Gwen mock shudders "Okay..and no.. he is like me bitten by a mutagenic spider and having spiders... there is a Kid Spider and a Silk as well actually... all same deal from bites and started out normal humans..."

"Yeah.... I trust you too with who I am Pupstar.. bleach and chemical dyes are just potent is all so I thought I should warn you being with good nose and all... come on though you want to do this right?"

Pippi has posed:
    "Oh." Pippi replies, seemingly sorrowful that Spider-man is *not* a giant spider. "How come there's so many spider-bites? Was there a bunch of spiders? Did they all escape?" Pippi questions, letting her nose get used to the smell of *just* the industrial bathroom, and she gives a breath out.

    "I'm comin'!" she states and walks in boldly. Must Magenta Mutt Fur!

Ghost Spider has posed:
"I... that is a very good question. Honestly it seems like a batch of mutated spiders got out.. lab accident years ago..." she thinks

"Then I was recreating the research a year ago from that other companies work and .... we had an escape too... it ... yeah it is super against the odds and strange but it totally happened."

"Ok... forward..." following Pippi into the breach... ur... bathroom to dye her hair Magenta. This should be something else.
