A young man in a gray hoody walks through the halls of the mansion looking around. "Well guess I've gathered all the information i can from observing and hearing people talk with each other. Guess that means I only have experiencing it first hand left." He turned and headed to the nearest door. "Better check in with someone so they don't think I'm breaking and entering, or a thief. Thats the last thing i need, with all the trouble boss has had lately, is to start some conflict." He knocks on the door before opening it. "Hello, anyone here?"

The door creaks open and there stands a young girl dressed as a maid.
"Hello. Looking for someone?" she asked sweetly.

"No, just thought i would let Lord Hugo or one of his staff know i was wandering around. I've heard that thieves, and anyone trying to sneak in and cause trouble end up in trouble themselves." he said shyly.
"My friends and I gather information from many different places, and I happen to get this mansion as one of my places to go to. Normally we try to do it without being noticed, but we are also to make sure we don't cause any trouble. So I figured it best to notify someone I was here rather than possibly cause problems." he explained.
"By the way what is your name, if I may ask?" he said, doing his best to be polite.

"Susanne." she said. "But everybody calls me Suzie. What's yours?"

"Well the few people that have come to know me as anything other than an observer call me Bob." he replied. As he stands there he looks around the room with his eyes slowly. "It's nice to meet you Suzie." he said politely as he observed his surroundings.

Hmm, doesn't look like there may be any in here, but then again the ones in the hallways weren't easy to spot either. he thought to himself, as he continued to look around the room. I could always use 'that' to check, but that would require showing my hand. And there's no telling how they will react to me finding that bit of info out, even if it never sees the light of day after storing it away.
He returned his gaze to Suzie. There is also that nagging feeling that I've heard her name while getting around unnoticed here. The only question is where and was it good or bad?

"What brings you to the Mansion? Most people have some reason for being here...so what's yours?" she said with a friendly smile.

"Exploration and information mostly. We don't come across magic all that often in our travels. We had some old files that happen to point to this place, but with all the information we gather it got lost in the mix. Found the files some time back and decided to add it to my list of places." He walks into the room feeling it would be impolite to just stand in the door way.
"My friends think it would be best if I was a little more outgoing and less solitude. Then again we say the same about the youngest in our group."
Now that he is in the room he takes another look around, turning his head this way and that to get a look from his new angle.
"Probably the one thing that I wanted to come was to see the security system this place would have to protect the guests." He stated suddenly, choosing to be open about his reason for coming.

"Security system?" she said curiously.

"Based on the little bit of information we already had, the facts that the mansion itself is magical and Lord Hugo saying that he wasn't all that tech savvy, the obvious answer would be that there wouldn't be any kind of security system. But there was something Boss once told someone, 'Don't focus on what you can't do with what you don't have, Focus on making yourself better with what you do have.' That's when it occurred to me that magic could be used to set up a security system." He explained.
"We already had two files on such people that had setup two different security systems that way. But they made sure to keep things vague when telling us about it. So I figured Lord Hugo may have done something similar." He said as he looked around the area of the rooms window.

He pulled a pen with two different laser points on one end. Turning on the blue one he shines it over the dresser by the window to see nothing but the dresser side. Dang i was certain it would have been hidden there. He swung the pen down about to turn away when something under the dresser caught his eye.
He got down to get a better look turning the blue light on and off a few times. No doubt that's the same as the ones in the halls. Only thing is if that's not Lord Hugo's, then someone else is putting these around the mansion. But who and why?

"We don't have any real security. Things seem to take care of themselves here at the mansion." She grinned.

"Guess that will be one less bit of information to gather than. But there is still the problem of someone else setting up some kind of sensor around the mansion. But why?" He wondered out loud as he got back up. "Guess I'll find out when i find them. At least I know it isn't any of the staff or Hugo. Thinking about it now, there would have been some in the foyer when I slipped in. Instead of being down all of the halls leading to the rest of the mansion."
"Of course I should probably change since i doubt i avoided all the sensors. Walking around shining a blue light every where usually causes people to stop and ask questions." He said turning to face Suzie. "Got anything i can change into?"

As he was standing there his mind started racing with thoughts of who might be responsible for these unknown sensors.
Maybe some prankster put these up. No, they would have been caught or tried to work with Lord Hugo on doing anything like that. Besides all of the sensors are blank. No marking, then no type of transformation. Provided that info we got out of that deal was correct.
A thief would only try to get in and out with loot fast, making sure not to leave anything behind. I doubt there is anyone else here just to gather info like me. Not even i would be crazy enough to use any kind of hidden tech here. Even the few magic users I know have heard of Lord Hugo wouldn't be crazy enough to go behind his back like this.
If only that one group had shown us what their magical sensors looked like. Maybe then i would know whether this has to do with that missing apprentice they asked us to look for. Plus by the dust on that sensor they have been setup for some time. But why stick around so long? As big as this place is, if they were looking for something they would have found it. Or is it they are looking for 'Someone'?
There has to be some reason to setup like this, some piece of the puzzle I'm missing. But what?

"Oh, you need new clothes?" She asked. "Come on in here, I think we can find you something."
