    Coco

    Mask: A slim, young woman with dyed hair, a mischievous smile, and laughing brown eyes.

    Mien: Coco's eyes are split into four facets that give a kaleidoscope appearance to her irises and two delicate antenna are perched on her forehead. Her nails are also like pieces of black carapace.

    Additional Identifying Features:
    A tattoo of a jeweled wasp sits perched atop a thick and gnarled white "branch" that stretches several inches upwards from her left wrist, though the branch is clearly a scar.

    A tattoo of a frayed, torn, and dirty golden banner trails around her right wrist, with another long scar forming the "mounting" for the banner.

    "I...No!" Coco barked, the strangeness of the situation, the silence of her companions, the ones she trusted, eroding the crutch of florid eloquence which she usually relied upon. "Those...those are something else. They don't exist in five places at once. Not that I know of." Faceted eyes flicked left and right as she racked her brains for knowledge that she did not possess.

    "Look, we need to find your friend. To find the man and the woman who took him. He's not in this hangar, but in another one. Do we need to worry about these gates? If so, then lead the way, for I know nothing that might help. If not, then forget them and let us focus upon finding who we need to! And...and let's just throw him in the bathroom and wipe up the blood." She said, nodding at the corpse. "There's no cameras, they can't trace it back to us."

    Mal glowered at the Less crazy red-head.

    Yeah. Helping. And if we buy that, you've probably got a bridge to sell as well.

    The way Coco had been jabbing away at his ribs, there was every chance the poor kid had just died of internal bleeding. But short of performing a professional autopsy, how the fuck would they know?

    The chanting and the handwaving was part of 'what they do'? And what did they do? Was this some sort of Contracts-of-Jazzhands-And-Babbling-Like-A-Crazy-Person? Was that a thing? If it wasn't the middle of the night, she'd consider calling Ava and asking...

    Maybe they were like... Wizards or something? She was a freakish half-wolf-half-hobbithuman hybrid with infuriating body hair issues and disgusting feet, escort to a prancing wasp, and a golden statue with flowers in her hair, all because once-upon-a-time they had been kidnapped by Faeries. Who the hell was she to start drawing plausibility lines?

    Right. One crazy thing is true. Therefore All crazy things are true. Logic, bitch.

    Then again, if you could just wave your magic wand and heal a dude... why was he dead? And why had Blondie-Mc-Dumbass just sat there, faffing like some EMT instead of breaking out the magical mojo?

    This Paranoid Mexican standoff was getting them Nowhere and was just giving Coco time to braid herself a nice, neat little rope to hang herself by.

    Time to Adjutantise the shit out of this shower. Maximum overprofessional. Alpha-bitch levels to maximum. Get. Shit. Done. Hopefully without accidentally murdering any more innocent bystanders.

    "You." Mal barked, pointing at Coco. "Pull yourself together and stop babbling like a crazy person." She would pay for that later, she was sure. But dealing with a panicking Coco required conditions that did not involve two Jazz-wizards breathing down her neck.

    "We will deal with the body. You." She pointed to the... Wizards. "If you have a theory about this five-places-at-once thing. Look into it." It sounded like a Hollow, with a Lot of gates. But she didn't fancy the chances that the Hedge was truly that elastic. Continents? She'd never heard of anything like that. Wouldn't Freeholds network much more if that sort of thing where possible? And by the Malory Grey Theorem Of Universal Craziness, if the hand-wavy-mumbo-jumbo crowd were familiar with the idea... there was every chance it had nothing to do with the world of fae.

    Which was a terrifying thought.

    Who was that idiot famous for making some speech about the dangers of things you don't know you don't know...?

    "We will catch u..." She poured glamour into her contract of not-being-a-stupid-half-blind-human. With her razor-sharp canine senses, she could follow their trail for miles, once she had their scent, but it didn't respond. She sunk yet more, trying to brute force the fickle fae magics into co-operation. But they had deserted her. She sighed, admitting defeat. "We will meet you three hangers down in... fifteen minutes." she said, checking her watch.

    "I'm not babbling," Coco muttered, shooting a spiteful look at the wolf. "But, fine, we'll deal with the body. I guess it is our fault, anyways." Unbidden, all four facets of her eyes fell to the motionless body, that still shell which had once been a man who'd only longed for home. A man who'd been trapped in banality. A man who'd been forced to labor for hopelessly dull hours and who'd only fallen victim to their plot because of the sudden spark of beauty they'd brought to his life. A spark they'd extinguished with violence moments later. That and all else which had once existed behind now unseeing eyes.

    Mouth falling into a grim line, the Claviger walked over to the body and bent down to grab one of its wrists. A ragged breath gently shook her shoulders and she tried to swallow the sudden spike of emotion away.

    "Where are we taking it?" she asked the wolf quietly quietly, lips barely moving.

    Looking away from his failure - and the dead man that went with it - Miach creased his eyes, and started shivering. Whether from fright, tiredness, or guilt... it was hard to say. But he felt cold, tired, and lonely, longing only for Esmeralda's sweet embrace. Except Leo was probably thinking exactly the same thing, and the Acanthus had been there before. Sharing those very feelings amplified a hundred-fold.

    Listening to Coco and then Mal, he ignored the silent Aaren Eloi , and instead was glad that they'd take care of the body. He had no idea how, but they had come so far, and they wouldn't leave without the Obrimos. Instead he then turned toward Ariadne , too unsure to take the lead in their case. "Sounds... right, right ?"

    "Agreed." Good less worry of them seeing any more willworking.

    "Lets head to the next hanger and see if there's anything off there." Ariadne says to Miach with a nod towards the next hanger. Hopefully Space Sight will work. If not this is going to be bad.

    Miach felt like throwing up, no matter how strong his denial of responsability, and followed Ariadne toward the next hanger through sheer stubborness and dedication. "Find Leo... Find Leo... Fin Leo..." he could be heard muttering as he looked up up down down left right left right...

    Mal looked Coco square in the eye. Solid, dependable, if infuriating Malmal. If the Fairest's abiding dislike for her was the anchor that allowed the great Cosima Tascioni to ride out the shattering of whatever quixotic delusions of heroic fantasy had driven into this debacle, instead of sending her running off to Lala-land, so be it.

    The Summer Court had need of Allies who could kill a man armed with nothing but a walking stick. Even crazy ones.

    At the very least, she couldn't beat the hell out of Coco herself if she was locked up in jail, or a loony bin...

    "Nearest Doorway." she said, breaking the unofficial staring contest as the others cleared out. "'CSI: The Hedge' is not a thing, to my knowledge."

    Mutely, the Wasp followed the lead of the Wolf. Coco had refused to meet her gaze. Only a nod had come in response to Malory's words.
