Glinda and Shelly separate as well and Shelly looks over at you as Glinda goes back to looking out the window.  Corbin asks, "So what do we do now?"

[Ennui]

Well I to do a thing with Jess, and I really need to get some surveillance on this Alvin Corse guy.  I could use your help on that Shelly, if you've got the time?

speaking of Alvin, I assume it is dusk by now.  My spirit should have returned and communicated what it saw with me during the day.

Shelly looks a bit relieved at the thought of doing something and nods.  "You got it.  What do you need me to do?"

I am sorry.  Too many things going on.  What did you ask it to do?

[Ennui]

I had it on remote service to watch Alvin's house and follow him when he returned and report back before dusk.

I need to set up surveillance on a guy, we are going to use your drones to do so.

@Jess:  You want to do that thing tonight?  You want to meet up for the practice run?

Sorry.  The man had not returned to his house by dusk.  In fact, there seemed little going on at the house at all.


Shelly rubs her hands together. "Good.  what is the address and who am I looking for?"

>>Lizzie [Jess]:  Sure for the dry run, but he is away for the evening and I am not sure when he is supposed to return.  Are you available now or when /where do you want to meet?<<

[Ennui]

I swipe the file on Alvin to Shelly.

You think he'll be back tonight?  The spirit goes away at dawn so it would need to choreograph again.  If that's the case we should just wait till tomorrow .

>>Lizzie [Jess]:  Might be best, then.  I do not know for sure when he will return.  Sorry.  Cannot plan for everything.<<

Shelly looks at the data and her eyes light up. "I can totally do this unless there is something you aren't telling me.  When do you want this done?"

[Ennui]

Right now looks good.  Anyone else want to come?  Stake outs can be boring.

I summon a water spirit and will have it watch the other house while we are on site as well. 
summon force 4 resist drain: 10d6t5 5 4d6t5 3 10d6t5 3 The previous one I accidentally used d5 so I just did it over.

Corbin gets a look on his face and offers to come along, but Glinda hesitates for a moment before declining.  "Thank you for the invitation, but I think I will take a pass on this one.  I might go out for a bit later and will let you know where so maybe we can all meet up."

Shelly gives her an odd look but quickly turns to you.  "Let me get some of the boys and I will be right back."  She moves off quickly to her room.

[Ennui]

If you want to join us later Glinda let us know and we'll send the location and we can meet you later if not.

We wait for Shelly to grab her spy drones and head out.  Once there I send the spirit to the other house and we ride around until we find a stuffer shack or some place to chill for a bit while we watch the goings on on our AR displays.

Since Glinda isn't here you guys have any questions about all this you want to ask that you didn't want to ask in front of her?  I know things may be a bit weird for a while and that's okay, but feel free to talk to me.

Corbin gives a smile. "I think that is why she did not come along.  To give us time to talk.  Personally, I do not know what to think.  First of all, are they just really crazy women or do you thing they are telling the truth about being older than dirt and being, well, you know?"

Shelly shivers a bit although the 'Shack is warm enough. "Frag, Lizzie, what have we got involved with?  I....I.....liked Glinda and thought that she would be a ton of fun to have around.  But that Sian scares the piss out of me and maybe Glinda does, too, now."

[Ennui]

I put my arm around Shelly to warm and comfort her.  Yeah they are what they say and yeah, Sian has hellhounds as pets and I don't think she quite understands people that well, but look at what they are trying to accomplish.  You should come to Chinatown and see what Sian's already accomplished.  The people there are scared shitless of her but she remains devoted to their wellbeing.  Glinda hasn't changed, she's the same person we've known this whole time and has grown on us.  They told us a secret that makes them vulnerable yet Glinda's main concern is that WE feel comfortable with her.

Don't get me wrong guys, your feelings are valid and they are dangerous people, but really look into your heart and I think you'll see they are kindred spirits as well and they want to be our friends.  Besides, we are pretty dangerous ourselves.

I'm not sure about their age, seems strange what with the virus being awakened but then again there are dragons and elves "supposedly" from before.  I don't see any reason not to believe them but I don't know that I'd put a significant amount of money on it.  Until I find otherwise I'm going to assume what Glinda showed me was true.  I give Shelly a squeeze.

Keep talking, if you have questions or just want to say something.  I want to hear what you guys think for real don't hold back on me.

Thursday 13 June 2075 0002 Stuffer Shack Seattle


Shelly smiles but her heart is not completely in it. "So, fangs and stakes and drinking blood?  All of that stuff?  But we have been with her in the daylight, right?  So how come she didn't explode or catch on fire or crumble into dust like in the trids?"

[Ennui]

I glance around casually, to make sure we aren't drawing any attention.  Haven't seen the fangs, have seen the blood drinking though just a small amount.  Apparently sunlight isn't a big deal, but holy symbols do have some power.  Don't know about garlic but she can swim.  Anything else about that you will probably have to ask her.  I don't think she will have a problem answering your questions about that.  She probably hopes you will be comfortable enough to do so.

Shelly nods but does not look entirely convinced.  Corbin has apparently been watching the screen on his 'link and speaks up.  "Say, sorry to interrupt the chatter but just what sort of care does this guy drive?  Someone just pulled up to the house."

Indeed, a sedan is stopping in the driveway of the house and a man is getting out.  Shelly gives some commands and the shot zooms in on Corse's face as he shuts the car door and walks to the house.  Corbin looks up at you. "Is that the guy?"
