WHO ||Deryn, Alice, Sara, Frankie [closed]
WHAT ||The Knights investigate a mysterious transmission...
WHERE || New York
WHEN || Late March 2016
HOW || Actionspam

[A garbled, static-filled transmission, encoded in a Shadow language, has made its way to the Knights attention, seemingly linked to a series of similar transmissions last year.  Equipped with a decoding program by the Dragon's Hoard, the Knights head to a set of railroad tracks that were mentioned, to try to see what this is all about... ]

You guys should just come with us back to headquarters.

[ He's new, he doesn't know any better.]

Australia. [For Deryn. Yep her bias is showing in her accent.] We prefer creative problem solving, rather than making our own but it's, basically the same thing, yeah. [Grinning wryly.]

Sometimes you gotta bend a few rules here and there to get the job done. [Ya know. Like firing a weapon in a public space and taking off before the cops show up.

If anyone thinks that Frankie is going to contradict Deryn though?] Can't make any promises but... hey at worst? Free trip to London, right?

[lowvi]

[Dipper looks over at Mabel.]

...is this an actual job offer? Cause London's really far away and I'd love a free trip there but again, bills to pay, and I don't know how much time off I can get with short notice. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to quit, but they might not rehire me and then I'd have to job hunt again....

[Mabel PUNCHES HIM IN THE ARM.] He's joking! My brother... such a comedian.

I want to go there then, I want to try the snacks.

It could be, I took a shot in the dark and got a job. I'm sure if were wrong Wynn would at least make sure you both got home. I don't know though, it's always worth a shot.

[ He gave a shrug and offered the rest of the bag over to Mabel. ] I dont like these. To much cheese dust, want them?

[thetokenaussie]

[Barely hiding her amusement as Mabel punches Dipper. She has brothers okay. Watching them makes her a little homesick.]

What he said. [Shrugging.] Wynn's the boss so, he's the only one who can make it official but... [She takes a quiet moment to consider them both.

Leaning in.] Did I mention we have a private jet?
