A Meeting with Outsiders

**Terri Nutkins** · Jan 13th, 2013 02:06 PM

Terri arrived in Bryte Park wearing a pair of skinny black jeans, her pink flat shoes and red jacket done up tight to keep the cold out. Inside the pocket was her faithful slingshot and in the other pocket, a few 'bullets', just in case.

She trusted Hana, sure, but she hadn't heard from the woman for a while, and this was dangerous territory. Who knew how far Fairweather's influence could reach?

Her red, raiment gloves were covering her hands, which were laced together as she stood by a tree and watched the world drift by, the mortals who knew nothing about the dangers that hid just out of view, and wondered; Given a chance, would she give up any of this?

Spartan arrived at bryte park shortly after Terri. He was not sure why they were going for a jog. He didn't really think that this was the right time, but he guessed that was something he would discuss with Terri when given the opportunity.

Spartan stepped out of his truck and grabbed the case out of the bed. In it was his standard equipment, sword, knife, hedge-spun spear in sleep mode, and his armor.

Spartan noticed the Red Head from a ways away, cause she is hard to miss, and gave her a wave. "Terri." Spartan said by way of greeting.

Rook didn't carry anything with him. His pockets contained only a few dollars of his tips from work, the old faded police badge, and his lighter and battered cell phone. But then, him carrying a weapon seemed rather petty and superficial, like taping a knife to a bomb and stabbing someone with it.

A siege weapon didn't need weapons.

"Terri. Caster. Nice to see you," the Red Victor said, a slight, amiable smile flicking at the corner of his mouth.

Was there tension? Certainly. But he wanted to make sure they were prepared, warmed up. Ready for whatever might come. He had never met Hana, and he wasn't ready to trust her yet. But the saying 'the enemy of my enemy' worked all too well with the mentality of a chesspiece, where there were only ever two sides.

If Fairweather was the opposition, then it was hard for him to focus enough to see Hana as a potential enemy, should she align with them.

Black and White.

"Hey Caster," Terri grinned as the Summer King approached her, swiftly making use of his other name while in mortal company. She gave him a quick hug, her friendly manner always apparent.

Turning at the second voice, Terri broke away from the embrace and grinned as she spotted Rook. "Likewise, Rook."

She paused and looked between the two Summer Courtiers. "So, you both ready for this?"

"I am still confused as to why we are going jogging before this." Spartan stated, "But Yes I am ready." He wasn't actually ready for a jog, he was in his normal street cloths, but that is neither here nor there. If the lady asked him to jog, he would jog.

Rook looked mildly perplexed when Spartan commented about the jog, turning his head slightly to regard the King of Summer. His mirrored sunglasses flashed in the blazing white light of his mantle, and the Metalflesh concentrated, trying to empathise, trying to see this from the perspective of...

...Oh.

Spartan had never heard Rook mask the truth before. He wasn't capable of it in speech.

"I can lie when I write it down," the Red Victor said. "I... meant for us to meet beforehand so we could prepare. Ah... if you want to jog, we can."

Terri looked from Rook to Spartan and then back again. She quickly rose her hand to cover het mouth as she stiffled the snicker that threatened to escape.

"I'm really alright with missing the jog right now," she joked, trying to make Spartan feel better about the confusion. "But we should at least get a move on. I'm not too sure how long Hana will hang around."

"Yes, indeed." Spartan was still not entirely following, but that should surprise no one, he does get hit in the head alot. "Lead the way please Terri." Spartan said with a not to the redhead.

Rook nodded to Terri, his mirrored sunglasses flashing in the winter sun. Yes, it wouldn't do to keep a potential ~~allied piece~~ source of help waiting. If the woman was inclined towards helping them at all, she would probably respond better if they gave a trustworthy impression.

The Metalflesh didn't share that he felt rather pleased with himself over this line of reasoning, which seemed perfectly rational and entirely human to him.

"Of course we should. Let's go."

As Terri lead the group to the meeting location, they found themselves in what appeared to be an industrial neighborhood in Western Sacramento. There were a lot of warehouses, auto shops and other privately owned businesses around the area. Walking down the street towards the warehouse that had been selected as the meeting location, the trio passed a few other warehouses on the way. By the looks of it, they were mostly storage buildings, both public and private.
