Bishop was early. As in four hours beforehand. He had been there even earlier, but banal eventualities such as maintaining and keeping a job intervened. Maybe the point had come to think about letting Andrew Preacher die and becoming someone else. But that required ressources and other things, which were not available yet. So, yes. He had a job. He needed the job. And that's why he was only four hours early. He had parked Betsy a good five minutes away from the park and had used the enginge noise to mask a spell, which allowed him to keep overwatch over the whole area. He walked through the park, carrying a sports-bag full of electronic equipment as well as a set of lock-picking tools. And if all else failed, there was still a bolt cutter.
His sole intention was to be here before anybody else could snoop around in order to find a vantage point. Someplace high with good coverage of the area in order to listen in and have overwatch. For that intention he was dressed casual, looking like someone who would either go to or come from a set of physical exercises. Additionally, he had a pair of gloves against the cold and a scarf, should the need arise after sunset.

And the dreadful day had come.

Much as he had wished to avoid it, Miach was now to face again a very real risk to himself, and those other Awakened he was working with. It was to be. They had had no other options, and they just couldn't let GLO run free on the street, not when each dose could mean the death of an Awakened, nascent Banishers, the widening of the Abyss, or God knows what else.

Parked carefully close to a line of trees so as to hide his doings, the doctor had slid his pane open, and prepared for his watch. Hopefully, it would be just that. Watch, and back. Not that he actually expected it to be that simple, but who knows. It would be nice to be wrong, tonight.

First, he willed his Aura to become unnoticeable, a mere bird's aura, nothing to worry about. And then... then, the Acanthus checked noone could see him, quickly took off his clothes, and let his Will run over his body, denying this Fallen World's Lies. His shape was not to be dictated by fallacies. His Will only mattered, and he Willed to look like an owl, to have wings and feathers, a beak, and razor-sharp talons, and a nigtsight like few others.

His Will was strong, his shape like clay, and soon an owl flew out of the car and in the park, looking around for Nous, whom he was to watch over.

[Idun]

  1 potency for Transform Self and Paradox fails

Date		Action		Roll		Result
2014-12-09 13:14:09		Idun rolls 1 to Paradox (10 Again)		4		failure
2014-12-09 13:12:24		Idun rolls 7 to Life + Gnosis + HS (10 Again)		10, 7, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 6		1 success

As Idun sits in her car, she begins weaving a spell using High Speech in hopes of completing it successfully as she wishes to alter her eyes so that she may see with the vision of a Bird of Prey. Her eyes are closed as she does this. As she feels something take hold, she opens her eyes and finds that it was successful as her vision has been altered.

Grabbing the keys, Idun gets out of her car. She's sure to lock it before pocketing the keys into her jacket pocket. Her purse is slung over her left shoulder as she begins to move to find a spot where she can watch the meeting between the supplier and Nous.

- 1 Mana for Transform Self

Purse holds

cell phone, gun, small First Aid kit, wallet, pen knife, and private items.

[Jhet]

Elle 'Drug Lord' Jones is from the suburbs. She hoped to have been able to trick Star into being her side-kick/muscle for this, and he's really the perfect fit for the muscle of a thirty-something suburban drug queen. Queen might be pushing it, but if she's going in that she dropped the dime on her competition, she's going to be a little over confident.

Pantsuit? Check. Scarf--purple of course? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Baller peep-toe heels? Check.

She pulls up to the park in a ZipCar. Why? Because renting cars all the time is stupid, and ZipCar is a cheap enough alternative. Getting out, she struts her stuff. She's used to being the Hen in the yard with the biggest Cock (back home, taking care of her Chicks).

Being a few minutes early, she checks her surroundings and heads slowly to the meeting spot. Meeting in the open is good and bad for her. She's a sitting duck if her backup is slow in reacting, and she's going in supernally naked. Hell, she looks like a sleeper to the sight. She can at least count on Star's weave to keep her somewhat hidden.

She's still a little nervous, but it's time to put her money where her mouth is. She's part of the Lie today. Let's talk drugs.

She takes a seat on the park bench and pulls out her smartphone and starts checking facebook.

Yep! Fail!

2014-12-13 11:23:34		Bishop rolls 4 to Unseen Senses (Wits 3+ Comp3 -2 Situational) (10 Again)		3, 2, 3, 8		1 success

Bishop had found a gardening shack for the park authorities, which gave him enough distance to observe and listen in to the whole meeting. As long as they did not decide to move, he should be fine. When the man arrived, he tried adjusting the microphone in order to get a good voice feed, but the supplier was the quiet type it seemed.
Missing out on the conversation, Bishop noted something else though.
There were supernal workings active around the man. That was dangerous. Bishop was uncertain, where (or if) the others of the team were presently.
<We need this guy. Alive. And contained.> he thought. All the time and work, which they had invested into getting to the heart of matters had finally yielded them someone of value. Bishop could not see any backup. His view was very limited by trees and other items. The car had registered on his spatial map, but he was unsure, if there was anyone inside. He would need to wait and see, how Nous could handle the whole affair.

From his vantage in the tree, Miach had an excellent view of the scene. The man's feature left little doubt, in the Acanthus's memory. If birds could shiver...
