kansas ♔ you have too much fun breaking all the rules

[cigam]

WHO || Gus, Zatanna, Adam, Dawn, Dimitri [closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a multiple homicide that seems linked to ritualistic magic use, in backwater Kansas
WHERE || Black Bottom Ridge, Kansas
WHEN || April 8th [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam or prose

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).

Do I even want to ask why you were buying a book on summoning demons in the first place?

[rituals]

Think you know the answer to that one, love. [ his expression darkens a bit, but he steps forward, extending a hand for the book. ] Because despite my best personal interests being on the opposite end of the spectrum from all this, I've got unfinished business that needs finishing.

[druidisms]

[ gus looks at his hand like bitch this is sparky's call. he kind of wants to bring it home to peruse at will, but he doesn't know this fuck from adam, the biblical one, so he looks at zatanna questioningly. to trust or not to trust the skeevy ex, that is the question. ]

[watcherjunior]

[ Dawn looks at the guy like you have GOT to be joking. Part of her wants to study the book. And part of her wants to burn the stupid thing so no one else ever ends up like this. If she was a telepath, Zatanna would hear her constant inner chant of no no no no no. ]

[cigam]

[ zatanna stares at him for a long moment, and there's a hesitancy there that doesn't seem to have anything to do with distrust, so much as... concern for him. but finally she hands it over with a sigh. ] Don't make me regret this, John. [ she pauses, lowering her voice a bit as she flicks her gaze up to his ] I suppose 'be careful' would be too much to ask.

You know... [ constantine pockets the tome, and pulls out the stash he stole from the kid upstairs, shaking the baggie as he looks at it with amusement ] Kind of a shame just throwin' this away. [ he raises an eyebrow at them, which he turns on zee with a little grin. ] Plenty to go round.

[druidisms]

[ mellie is like omnomnom pop tarts r my fave.ur the bestest adam.

gus looks at constantine with new appreciation. yes, good. but he is on team adam. ]

Let's get out of here, first.

[watcherjunior]

[ Are we really considering this? Whatever. Dawn's for whatever gets them out of creepy corpse-ville. ]

Yes, out of here. And no one speaks Latin in front of the books.

[ ...why does that sound so familiar. ]

[cigam]

[ zee stares at constantine like REALLY for a moment, but then she relaxes into a smile in spite of herself, shaking her head. ] You never change, do you, John?

[ she turns to the others and nods towards the doors, casting one last look back at the grim scene in the kitchen. ] Come on. We can drive him back towards the city before we take our flight out.

[likeagod]

[Dimitri gives the woman a nod.]

Let's not waste any time, then.
