WHAT || The Knights assist the FBI in investigating some mysterious creatures
WHERE ||Tennessee
WHEN || April 2nd [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

While scams about genetically modified corn wouldn't normally fall under the purview of the Knights, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has called in assistance from Wynn because of reports of the two agents investigating the matter running into some sort of Shadowkind that attacked them at the silos containing the corn in question.

The Knights fly out to Tennessee to check out the situation, and Christos drives them directly towards the silos in question, which are three lonely, old looking structures set in the middle of a field far away from any other civilization.

Well, this has certainly been an extravagant waste of our time. [ christos airily dismisses them both, drawing out the keys ] But I think we've seen enough. Whatever you encountered here seems more the product of a pair of overactive imaginations than a cause for concern.

We're leaving.

[keptbiting]

Ummm. [ UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ] Her scratches aren't imaginary. There's loads of explanations. It could be swamp gas causing mass hysteria and hallucinations. Should we really leave without investigating further? It'd be terrible if someone else got hurt because we weren't thorough.

[believethelie]

We've still got a case here, regarding the modifications to this crop. In case whatever creatures were here have migrated -- [ she shoots christos a look that makes it clear how little she gives a crap about him thinking they made those creatures up ] -- we'd appreciate it if you could remain on call in town. It shouldn't be more than a day or two.

[opprobrium]

They got a point. [ Sebastian spoke again finally.] Even if nothing is here right now doesn't meant there hasn't or will not be if its got a pattern.

[bowtimeandspace]

Nothing or not, it doesn't mean they want us poking into their business.

[ Shut up, Pond, don't laugh. Even if he's laughing, that's a bit too ridiculous even for him. ]

[agentspooky]

Sorry to waste your time. [ mulder sounds more amused than actually guilty about it, and there's something in his voice that indicates he doesn't think this is the end of things whatsoever. agent fowley catches that implication, glancing over at him like muLDER WHAT IS UP YER SLEEVE but he just pulls out his pack of sunflower seeds and sticks one between his teeth. ]

[keptbiting]

Oh you're never a waste. [ gonna get it. she rifles through her pockets for a pen, luckily finding one. (luckily because the next step would be rifling through the doctor's pockets and that would look strange.) pen in hand, she marches over to mulder and holds out her hand like she's going to shake goodbye.

and maybe scribble her number on his hand. maybe. who knows. it is a mystery. ]

[believethelie]

[ diana catches that little brazen act, and while mulder might be smirking between her and amy as if this is adorably hilarious to him, and sneaking glances at the doctor behind her, as if still deliberating over why that man would be joking about being an alien, agent fowley stands aside, folding her arms and arching one eyebrow. she taps her foot, before saying with sudden coolness: ] If that's all, I think Agent Mulder and I have some more footwork to do today.

[keptbiting]

Pleasure meeting you, Agents. [ she'd give you both a driver's licence... with a promising smile, she turns from mulder and moves to loop her arm around the doctor's arm, reaching up to adjust his bow tie fondly and looking at the other two members of the team. ] Come on then boys.

[everyredcent]

[ without a word of farewell, christos heads for the car, getting in and turning it on like comE ON KIDS ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ Turning his head to Amy, the Doctor grins. To the hotel. They have a hotel, right? ]

Oh yes. Maybe there'll be a mini bar. Very small bottles for very high prices. That and some artisan nuts.

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian follows silently standing by the car. One last chance, he looks from where he stands, just in case. (Spot 18) If he saw nothing of intrest he would just silently slip into the car.]

[keptbiting]

Oh, mini bar! We can have coke with ice!

[ and hot dogs! and apple pie! and american things! and away they go! ]

[everyredcent]

[ back at the hotel, christos holes himself up in his own room. each of their private room adjoins to a central living room where they can rest and relax or whatnot ]

[keptbiting]

[ amy is going to stay in the common room, draped over the couch drinking her cold glass of mini bar coke with a straw and ice and picking at a packet of crisps while she flicks through the channels of the tv like a grown up. ]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian draped sideways over one of the chairs, looking at tourusim guides for the state.]

Do you think it's called 'Ruby Falls' because it's a river of blood?

[keptbiting]

[ craning her neck, she leans over to catch a glance of one of the photos on the guide. ] Is the water red?

[opprobrium]

It doesn't look like it, seems a dumb name if its not blood.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ The Doctor heads out of the room that he's been given, mini bottles of shampoo and conditioner in his hands. ]

Oi Pond, look at these! They're tiny!

[ Sometimes it's the little things. Literally. ]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ it's at that point that

amy's phone rings ]

[keptbiting]

Oh they're darling, have you got-- [ oh her phone. ] Gimme a mo'

[ answering the phone. ] 'ello, alright?

[agentspooky]

Hi, uh, Amy? Amy Pond? This is Agent Mulder.

[keptbiting]

Oh. [ she unfolds from the couch, stepping away from the menfolk as her voice drops to something flirty and inviting. she can't even help it ok, it just happens like a reflex. ] Hello Agent. Didn't expect to hear from you so soon.

[agentspooky]

Yeah, well, you might not sound so excited once I tell you why.

Agent Fowley and I were attacked again. This time in our own hotel room.

[keptbiting]

[ um, amy is a trashcan, of course she's excited. sorry, mulder. she's concerned, but still... (unsure) she covers the speaker to look over her shoulder at sebastian and the doctor and tell them: ] It's Mulder, they were attacked again. Oi! It's the Feds! [ that last bit is hollered for chistos' benefit.

uncovering the speaker, she actually just puts the phone on speaker so they can hear the rest. ]

So what happened?
