    It is the height of summer. The full days are long and warm and bright. The darkness is banished to the furthest corners of the day and the afternoons and evenings linger, blending into one long and timeless moment. Moments such as this, long after closing time but with plenty of light in a brazen sky.

    Funderland was surrounded by trees. Mature trees with wide canopies that rustled in the breeze and provided a tempting shade. Lost in the William Land Regional Park, the theme park's grounds were picaresque and wonderfully pleasant. The whole area was green and manicured wildness, suitable for the human herd who wanted to imagine an echo of the rural ideal without actually having to venture there.

    Under the burnished summer sun, not too hot, the place held a sense of safety. Which was precisely why it now formed the heart of the Sacramento Freehold.

    But wait! Whose is that unfamiliar car still parked across the way. Its burgundy red and a hatchback. Totally forgettable if it didn't sport a dark blue panel over its left wing. There are no other vehicles on this stretch of road, just opposite the theme park. The local Lost use the car park reserved for Funderland staff when they turn up after hours...

    New Story for Changeling.

    To make things a little easier, lets set the scene just after Season of Renewal. That way new and existing characters can join

    Saber Sloth Echo has first dibs.

    Sacramento's Summer heat had nothing on that of the Desert. Impossibly hot, impossibly endless. Torn jeans, ratty tee. Leather jacket and mirror shades. Sacramento in the Summer might not have anything on the Desert, but the sun still burned. A party girl would have a hangover, shades were expected, but for a Darkling they were a necessity.

    Finger combing her hair, and braiding it she eyes the stupid car that had been parked across the street. Hopping from her perch, she pads over to it.

    Curious was the Cat.

    Without shame she poke and prod the car. Trying to discover why it had drawn her blade sharp eye so.

    Its a car. A Burgundy red hatchback. A rental car. A car whose rear shocks probably need some work. Scuffed cream interior. Someone has left their handbag (beige leather satchel) on the passenger seat. Back seat is a mess: boxes and cables and wires; a pair of crisp new combat boots; a camp jacket.

    The car is locked.

    "Huh." Echo murmurs. Chicking her tongue when she realizes the car is locked. Stupid responsible people.

    First checking to see if there's anything to indicate a car alarm, if she dose not find anything, she'll (try) break the glass with a trusty leather clad elbow.

    All in the name of Freehold security of course.

    Fortunately, Echo has the presence of mind to check the car one last time before she begins her work.

    The car does have an alarm.

    CLARIFICATION: So we are clear - Echo discovers that the car has an active alarm system. So she does not attempt to break the window.

    "Mer." she pouts at the sight of the alarm. Rounding the back of the car, the Darkling jots down the licences plate.

    Grabs a rock as she passes back round and tries to find a good spot to hide. Finding something that should would, she scurries all up in there. Or whatever. She's pretty sure her butt was a'wiggling. And she's totally and completely hidden.

    Then with all the skill of a star athlete she lobs the rock straight for the car giddily awaiting the alarm going off and to see who owned the damn thing. Couch potato she lobs the rock. It hits the ground near her. Rolls a little bit. "Fuck."

    The Lioness crawls back out of her Totally Hidden Spot and looks for another rock.

    Echo easily remembers the vehicle's license plate - a customised plate acting as advertisement for the rental hire service.

    As for the rest, Echo's plan goes off without a hitch. She finds a good, solid, bush to hide behind (ho ho) and ineffectually lobs the rock (which glares at her with immobile obstinacy from the road).

    Nothing else appears to happen.

    Lucifer's alien beauty is almost cruel, the eye moving uncomfortably from one monstrously perfect feature to the next.

    Mien
    Lurking beneath the alien beauty of the mask is the echo of the grotesque. Cruel teeth hide behind plush lips, goat eyes glitter beneath long lashes, ears are twisted into points, with skin the color of curdled milk.

    There is a brief moment of silence. Echo's phone sitting there...

    Failing...

    Mocking her with its cheerfully lit screen...

    Then:

    Do not blow up mine phone

    Or I will blow up thine phone

    The number you are looking for is (number)

    Here is the address of the rental agency (address)

    I am at Edna's. I have no time to find you.

    I have better things to do than chase kitty cats

    I demand dinner as payment.

    8 sounds nice.

    For Lucifer nothing appears to happen.

    Echo's patience (or perhaps persistence) pays off.

    Two figures emerge from the trees near where Funderland is situated. A lean man in urban camouflage gear and a hoodie; a woman in jeans and a light shirt.

    He is adjusting the strap on a cheap looking backpack. She is cleaning away leafy debris from her clothing. They both see right through Echo's flimsy disguise.

    "What the...?" The woman exclaims, tensing.

    "Riiight!" The man says with a certain droll coolness. He finishes adjusting his backpack.
