WHO || Rafael, Des, Buffy, their best pal in the world
WHAT || An unexpected incident
WHERE || Rome
WHEN || June 7th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

Who knows how long unconsciousness has them all swallowed in its grip. But when it finally allows them to resurface, they'd notice the smooth motion of a car indicating they're... still riding in a vehicle. A wis check of 14+ might recognize it's a different limo, however, and it doesn't take a wisdom check to recognize that they are all crammed together on the same side of the seat now. With... hands cuffed to the seat between their legs.

Across from them, a large figure sits grinning manically... wearing a familiar gray cassock. Oh hi. :)

A single glance out the window at the bustling city outside is enough to recognize that is sure as shit ain't London. And Anderson will be quick to clear that up for y'all, waving one hand at the view.

"Well, now. I hope you all enjoyed your rest. Let me be the first t'bid ye welcome... to Rome."

[There is something wrong with Des.

It's very clear from the way he goes as rigid as he possibly can in the position he's in, pulling the chain taut. Given the way they're crammed in, it's even clear to see he's actually shaking. There's absolutely no denying it. Des is absolutely 100% terrified.

And he absolutely cannot say a single word. He just runs his tongue along the bottom of his teeth, swallows hard, and stares right at Anderson like he's the devil, himself.]

[ the clerics of st. cuthbert are quiet, stern people who are only happy to provide them assistance, and let them get cleaned up. they heal everyone to full hit points, and when finished, tell them that their 'friend' waits for them in the small enclosed courtyard garden.

the stranger has forsaken his friar costume for all black when des and buffy emerge out into the garden, and he turns to face them, allowing them their first real view of him. he's a handsome, fair-eyed man with shoulder length brown hair and a strong chin. there's a gentleness to his eyes, despite what they saw him do earlier, and a calmness to his demeanor as he surveys them. he does not appear to be armed anymore. ]

THE ROAD TO VENICE }

[Des rolled a fucking 30 for his drive check, so it's another sexy as balls escape to freedom for the intrepid threesome who still hasn't had sex with each other yet. Tensions are still high, given they're not truly safe until they're free of Rome, but Des keeps true to his promise to Vittorio and doesn't stop for anything.

Even though he's starving.

Unfortunately, there's only so much Italian pop music on the radio and quiet contemplation (and idk if you can play the license plate game with the way Des is driving, but that's also an option) one can take. Eventually, someone is bound to break the silence.

But not Des. Quelle surprise.]

cassa di risparmio di venezia;

[ the bank is about to open by the time they finish the six hour drive to venice and stop for italian pancakes. look at that timing. it's a quite large bank that vittorio has directed them to, and rafael stares out at it with a dark expression on his face. this is gonna be fun for the whole family, i'm sure. ]

This is it.
