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.

do you actually blame them? two of our lot turned out to be working for HELL. that's not doing much for our track record.

[bigbad]

It's not about blaming them. Trust go both ways and I don't trust those vultures any more than they trust me. I listened to Wynn cause I respected him. These wankers don't.

[postergirl]

trust is for children. that's what contingencies are for.

[bigbad]

I wish I could be the one to show you that putting faith in people is worth it. If I live through this, I'll have to try.

[ her answer is long in coming ]

there's no way to talk you out of this?

[bigbad]

Sorry love.

Not sure I'll be sticking with the group but there's no way I'm staying here. Not til I know what's really going on.

[postergirl]

well. when you die and i'm not there to see it, consider this a preliminary 'i told you so', for the record.

[bigbad]

I'll be sure to spend my last moments thinking of you, then.

[postergirl]

not a wonderful consolation prize, that.

[bigbad]

best I can offer

hope to see you on the other side

[postergirl]

i'll take care of myself, don't worry
