The House On the Hill

The scarecrow stood there, watching the trio as they looked over the list. "Well, the sooner you can get the items, the better," he said to them, giving a slight nod of his head. "If you end up having trouble finding some of the items, perhaps you can try a local market." With that, the Manikin gave a little shrug, for he assumed that the local Lost would know more about such things than he. "I shall be awaiting your return," he added, obviously implying that he wanted them to get moving. After all, time was of the essence...

Jezebel's eyes ran down the list. The first four were easy enough - they could just buy the salt, candles, and banana, and while the idea of vandalising a church door made her a little uncomfortable, it wouldn't be particularly hard to do and was vastly preferable to letting the gateway hang open.

"Snake venom..." She muttered to herself. "Do we even get poisonous snakes around here? Toad liver's easy enough, if someone fancies squatting by a pond for a few hours..."

The orchid, they could probably just buy as well. It all seemed distressingly easy - a rather odd collection of items for a magical ritual, yes, but easy enough to obtain. Of course it couldn't last, and the list rapidly started getting weird. The Briarwolf heart would be easy enough, if they could find a Briarwolf first, but that meant at least one trip into the Hedge. The hag's tooth?

Well, we could always find that Betony woman and punch her in the mouth.

The Blightbent forced down a snigger at the idea. Amusing as the mental image was, there were probably easier ways to commit suicide.

When she came to the last line, Jezebel absent-mindedly ran her fingers over her battered crucifix. It was one option. She also had a few old photos - momentos she had scavenged from old mortal life, or happier moments with her old Motley. One of those would have to do.

"The Fleshmarket. Yea." Jezebel grunted in response to the scarecrow. "We could get the screwier stuff there, easy enough. God only knows what it'll cost though." She shook her head and turned towards the stairs, motioning for the other two to follow. Part of her wondered whether they should check in with the Freehold before setting off on their scavenger hunt, to see if they could get a second opinion on the ritual. She still didn't entirely trust the other Changeling, and the nagging, paranoid part of her mind wouldn't quite let go of the idea he might be playing some sort of trick on them.

Yellow eyes look up to the Scarecrow when he mentions local markets, staying there until Jezebel names one. Whereby Locke promptly shifts his gaze to her.

"Fleshmarket."

It is not quite posed as a question. A clarification, as though he is making sure he heard right.

"I assume that the name is more or less self-explanatory?"

The list is slipped into an inside pocket, right before a large, green hand silently requests his notepad back. They can copy the list if they need to, but it is essential that the begin procuring items immediately. Specifically the more difficult ones first. A quick trip to a large convenience store will net them much of what they need.

"Lets get going then," Green added.
