The Hunted - Snow Ghosts

WHO || Wynn, Willow, Paige, Aurelius, Nathan, Cora, Allison [Closed]
WHAT || Casablanca Mission Briefing
WHERE || Round Table Room
WHEN || Late Summer, 2016
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's keycard to open the glass case beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artwork depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already somehow.

I've never heard either way here... But it can't really hurt to try, which is probably why you're here. [BUT SHE'S A BABY.]

1/2

[pickyourbattles]

I believe they're at least immune to the vampire's bite, which seems... fortuitous. Not that I think anyone is going to get bitten but, er, better safe than sorry.

[wynn]

[ interrupting aurelius' awkward muttering over there ] These sightings have come with some victims already, we believe. There are at least a string of disappearances in the area, that I can't imagine to be a coincidence. It is likely too much to hope to find them alive, but perhaps the creature is draining them slowly.

[impetere]

Do we know how many victims have gone missing? And over how long?

[She can't imagine that a vampire would take people needlessly - if he were just going to kill them, he would have left the bodies there to be found. The frequency of his kidnappings might tell them how long it takes for them to get bored with his food.]

[nathan replies, finally, like he's been taking the whole time he's been silent to think about it (you really can't trust nathan young while he's silent, it's like the calm before the storm of stupidity)] You're a werewolf? Y'know, my — the bloke my mum was dating was a werewolf. Do you really turn into a wolf or are you more of a dog or something?

[impetere]

[Her eyebrows rise for a moment, before he turns to face Nathan and just stares at him because really? is now really the time?]

[autorevive]

Oh ... right ... [/situational awareness] Never mind. But I am curious! People want to know.

[impetere]

Later.

[And she will turn back to Wynn for the answer to her original question.]

[wynn]

There are at least six disappearances on record, across the last several months.

[somepagesturn]

Oh dear. [Paige clutches at her nonexistent pearls like the good little southern girl she is.] Well, there's no time to waste, then. Who'll be leading us?

[impetere]

[Cora simply nods her agreement, processing the time in her mind. If they're evenly spaced across the last few months, then it stands to reason the vampire needs to feed every few weeks. So she'll just stay silent and wait for the rest of the information from Wynn so they can leave.]

[risked]

[Allison listens and takes notes in her phone's notepad. She knows that others will remember, but she likes to make sure she's not going to forget something important.]

[wynn]

Sir Lyons will be taking over leadership of this team, if that is amenable to her.

[somepagesturn]

[paige looks up slowly and mouths "Me?" before straightening up in her seat. SHE WON'T LET YOU DOWN, SEMPAI.]

Of course it is. I'm very honored, and I won't you or my team down, Sir.

[olreliable]

Of course you won't. [Willow turns to those who weren't with them last time.]

Paige is the best. And she can do ... nifty healing spells. Definitely mission leader material.

[wynn]

Then if that is all, you are dismissed.

[impetere]

[Cora nods and she will get up to head out and get ready.

Yay for taking on vampires.]
