Know what's even worse than Kansas? Kansas after a long winter that just won't die. Everything is creepy and flat and the grass is struggle-bussing its way back to life, and the trees are still skeletal, which just lends an eerie semblance to everything as they drive by. Drive by with a U-Haul attached to the back of her their rented vehicle, because they're bringing a fucking bear along. Luckily Gus was able to coax her into this arrangement, but man, I would not to be the one to draw the short straw opening the doors to that trailer when they arrive.

It only took a single stop at a crappy diner for Zatanna to get someone to spill the whereabouts of the survivor of the night they're looking into: she's being kept at a hospital in the nearest actual city. Zee drops off Adam, Dimitri, and Gus near the crime scene, and takes Dawn with her to go see what they can learn from the girl (after telling Gus to behave).

[ you're the new favorite, adam. he casts cure light wounds on himself, sharing it with mellie for +13 hp. which is enough at least to stem the bleeding from his head and make mellie good to go. he should have brought potions. :( ]

Aside from the blood loss, you both okay?

[Wow Adam, there's mommy coddling and then there's not being a dick. Learn the difference.

He gives Gus a nod.]

We were fortunate. That could have ended much more poorly.

[Somehow Adam reasons that getting your family slaughtered trumps being insensitive about someone dumb enough to get their family slaughtered. Go figure.]

Weren't there supposed to be like six of those things?

[likeagod]

There were several, but I don't believe there were six. Perhaps you were confused since they each had six legs instead of four.

I miscounted. [ he ain't afraid to say he fucked up. oh well. but clearly zee and constantine are taking too long, so... gus is gonna go speed shit up a bit. ]

Stay here. [ he can boss you around because he is the boss. and he doesn't say it bossily, just sort of to indicate that he is going up. which he does. brb. ]
