The Spirited of St Louis
A package arrives for one Cynthia Lord, wrapped in bright blue and gold wrappings. A small attached card reads "Are you ready for an educational field trip?"

	Dinah put herself on crowd control, firing a flash of light from her BB-Gun to disorient the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Music Meister starts singing again, diverting more people from moving the organ to fighting off the heroes. What gives? His chronological benefactor said this heist would be free of interference!

"You think your little guns and fists have put me to the wall,
It's all just a game you see, and now you're going to fall!
This organ will be mine and enrich my legacy,
This Music Meister's on the stage of splendid villainy!"

He pulls out a microphone and gets ready to belt out a supersonic showstopper, a warm-up note alone rattling the beams in the nearest pavilions.

Riley, fighting not to be mentally disabled by the flash of leg when Dinah retrieves her gun, uses an oncoming charge to vault over the shoulders of the mook, landing near the pavilion and rushing Music Meister.

He may have pipes like an angel, but that glass jaw does him no good. He goes down like a sack of fried potatoes.

He slaps emergency chronal recall cuffs onto Music Meister, which send him to Rip's lab. Let the Time Master deal with it.

He makes his way back to Cindy and Dinah. "Miss Lord, you mind, uh, telling these people to go back to business as usual?" He then mumbles quietly to himself. "Rip you jerk.. you knew we'd need her skill-set to smooth things over, didn't you?"

	"Please never mind all this nonsense!" Cindy announces. "If you would be so kind as to excuse it and not worry about it further, I would be much obliged!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah holstered her weapon. "I really hope that's the end of it," Dinah said. "But who the heck would have sent that schmuck back?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Skeets secures himself under Riley's hat again.

"Beats the hell out of me. Maybe he just had enough money to pay someone with the resources. He seemed more interested in the organ as a trophy than anything else. I'll let Rip sort him out." Riley shrugs.

"Man I'm hungry now..." He checks his notes, then grumbles. "Great... can't get a hot dog for two hours. Oh well." He shows Cindy the notes. "Your call, still your day."

	Riley leads the girls on a roundabout path until the smell of faintly burning sugar tinges the air. A man in brightly colored, for the era, clothing is drawing a crowd near, taking tufts from one larger piece and brandishing them at children as he spiels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley gives Cindy a nudge and a smile. "Glad you're having a good time. Rumors had reached my ears that, for some shocking reason, you're not always so fond of me and Dinah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Truly mystifying." Riley grins, steering the girls on another path and towards the hot dog area. Skeets' voice comes from under Riley's hat. "Miss Lord, I've just conducted a telescopic scan of our destination. Do your own studies into the history of the Fair indicate any prevalence of hats shaped like pickles?"

	Cindy's glare at Dinah is interrupted when she turns to Skeets, perplexed. "No, not at all. ...Oh gosh, Don't tell me there's another one..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Riley hurries them, carefully, along the path until they can see what Skeets is on about. Expecting to find a fight in progress, Riley is rather surprised to find one of the worst-dressed villain(?)s he's ever seen, giving out... free wasabi for hot dogs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I find it very hard to acknowledge someone with a pickle for a helmet as a 'terrorist'." Riley shakes his head. "There's nothing in my research notes about the dangers of wasabi hitting the American market early, but still.." He turns to Dinah, holding up a fist. "Three-count, then shoot." He shakes his fist up and down. "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Remind me to have a frank discussion with Rip about not telling us things ahead of time," Dinah muttered. She shook her own fist up and down, putting out paper. Riley would probably chose rock. He almost always chose good, predictable rock. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Curses! Foiled by the paper of Dinah's silky smooth palm once more! "Okay, go have fun. Holler if you need backup." He hands over the temporal cuffs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
