WHO || Failboat [closed]
WHAT || After the announcement, Jack calls a meeting
WHERE || Thomas Bancroft's room, the Castle
WHEN || 8am, the day after LA
HOW || Actionspam or prose

Solace's announcement makes the situation unfortunately plain - those who have worked to stop Blade and company for the last five years have been side-lined, and will be until this ends, one way or another.  Jack has sent out a secret communication to all members of the team, asking them to gather in Thomas Bancroft's old room, which has stood empty since his death, and is usually locked.

When they make their way there before 8am, however, they will find the door unlatched.  Jack is already inside, with Gar seated near him, one hand on his arm.  Kat leans against the wall behind Fred, who is seated in a chair.  Her arms are folded, and she's grinding her teeth back and forth.

[She gives Mark a grateful look, then a quick kiss on the cheek.] Thanks for the vote of confidence, love.

[littledhampir]

She's not going to die, period. [So. Exasperated.

Can we please stop talking about people dying?!]

I trust Alainn with my life, I think we can trust her with The Impala.

[likedillinger]

[ RARRRRGH how can he argue with that without looking like a terrible boyfriend ] Fine. But if Baby gets one scratch on her, so help me...

[familybusiness]

[Sam's finished shoveling food into his mouth. The habit of devouring things in no time flat has stuck around, apparently.

He smiles at Alainn.]

What he means is we appreciate it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[attollores]

[She smiles back at Sam, understanding at least somewhat the reason behind Dean's protectiveness over his car. She know's that not everyone trusts or understands magic, and doesn't blame him for his hesitance.

She still didn't know how Sam fit into all of this, but her first instinct was to like him. There would be plenty enough time later to figure out who he was.]

Well, if we're all ready then? We should really get going, first of all to the garage to get the Impala, then on to meet the others.

[littledhampir]

[Rose offers the rest of the food a longing look as if she'd be just as content to have seconds before they have to embark on this trip of theirs but ya know. The sooner they do this, the better and all that.]

If anyone asks, just tell them it's a bet or something. [A story seems like a wise life choice because she somehow doubts they can do this without being noticed... (Wis 18)]

[attollores]

[With no further objections, she closes her eyes in concentration, saying over her shoulder-] Be ready, everyone.

[Suddenly a doorway appears before her, and they can see the cars of the garage through it. She stands aside to usher everyone past before stepping through herself, the doorway closing behind them.

She looks at Dean expectantly.] Where'd you park her?

[familybusiness]

[Sam makes sure he grabs all his things before he makes his way through the magical doorway, emerging into the parking garage and having a quick look around to see if he can find Dean's Baby.]

[likedillinger]

She's right over there. [ he says, after tentatively stepping through the portal, which seems to make him uneasy enough. he nods towards the impala, which is parked in a corner, where fewer people can potentially ding it with opening doors. ]

[attollores]

[She heads that way quickly, finding a spot to call down her vault. It lands with a loud thud in front of the Impala, opening it and pulling out various things that are inside, including a big mirror, books, clothes, and smaller spell components along with a trenchcoat that she dons quickly. She quickly casts another spell on the pockets, shoving everything but the mirror and the clothes inside, then nodding at Dean.]

Right, so we're going to have to idle the car inside.

[likedillinger]

[ dean only starts a little at the sound of the vault landing, really. he watches her yanking things out, trying to glance inside the vault to no avail. ]

I'm not sure my insurance policy covers this. [ but still, he'll go get in the damn car ]

[littledhampir]

[Meanwhile Rose is gonna keep sweeping the garage and keep an ear out for anyone coming cause ya know. As much as she knows Dean's worried about the car, she's more worried about them.

(Listen Nat 20 / Spot 35)]

[likedillinger]

[ the coast is well and truly clear, and Dean starts up Baby, driving her in with one giant surge of the accelerator, as if he's trying to peel off a band-aid (drive 15, which is pretty awful for dean lmfao). ]

[attollores]

[She just kind of stares as he pulls the Impala into the vault, quite sloppily, cringing as he narrowly misses the sides. He is... just barely going to have enough room to slide out of the side door and shuffle out of the vault. Once he is out, she closes the vault, whispers softly to herself, and it disappears into thin air.]

Well, if there's nothing else? [She gives them all a once-over, allowing them time to remember if they've forgotten anything.] Then we should be heading out.

[familybusiness]

I think we're good.

[He looks to Rose and Dean for confirmation.]

[littledhampir]

Yeah... [She should perhaps feel more sadness about this than she does but with all that's happened, with Wynn gone...]

Let's get out of here.

[likedillinger]

[ with one last sentimental glance in the direction of the castle, even though they can't see it within the garage, dean nods. goodbye temporary home :( he knew you were too good to last.
