(Memory Lane) Fresh Start

[Rhodes]

Rhodes looks amused by Circe's responses. "I think it's the best plan we have. I can provide the funds if you provide the contacts to get them," he offers.

"It sounds like the kind of thing hob magic could pull out of their dishevelled old hat," The Flowering muses. "But I think we need a more immediate solution, and I have little might to go chasing Hobs across the Hedge."

The Celestial lady's reaction draws a chuckle from Rhodes. "Would that it were that simple, my dear Titania. If he is investigating Funderland we cannot risk that he has information on us that we need to recover. Pico is as much a threat to himself as us - if he stumbles through an actual gate to the Hedge, I am sure it will not be one of the Sacramento Freehold that finds him."

"So. Redraw the markings to redirect Pico away. Titania points him in that direction through a hire. Lady Summer ransacks the office - possibly tying the two of you together, but nothing to be done there. Then it depends how Pico reacts, and we need to be ready to lure him away from Funderland." The Fairest steeples his fingers. "Sounds easy enough. My apologies, Titania, but I think you may have to be Puck for this adventure." He chuckles to himself.

[Circe]

"Uh, like ski shops fer the masks and everywhere fer gloves dude. Oh, ya mean lock picks? Right right," Circe shakes her head, "I think they're legal in Cali. Just the funds I had set aside fer them I had ta use fer a different emergency," she shrugs. If Rhodes thought he could fit the bill she was fine with that, "I can give ya some pointers if yer lookin' ta keep 'em. I'm the crooked kinda pretty."

She then looks at Titania, "Hey girlfriend, we should figure out what the markings are gonna be fer a lure. If the," Circe makes air quotes, "Mysterious masked intruders," she lowers her hands, "Happen to be sportin' the mark somewhere it could reinforce the lure. Great idea, right?"

ooc: Lockpicks RAW cost Resources 3 though a set of tools could fake it to maybe prevent a penalty. Circe already has a workshop full of tools.

[Rhodes]

"We don't want to hand Pico everything. He's a PI, I'm sure he can put being sent one direction and his office getting looted together. But if you really wish to hammer is home..." The Dread Lord shrugs. "I suppose there is no limit to stupidity."

He looks to Blink sharply. "No. That will definately bring about mortal involvement, and should they find his current clients, it could lead an investigation right to our door. As for intimidation...." he thinks. "It could work, I suppose. The kind of mind that pursues his vocation is not easily dissuaded. Add into the fact that he is heavily involved with internet conspiricies set on proving "fairies exist".... we don't want a whole community sniffing around. One is bad enough. Better to redirect him off to the ether, I think."

[Circe]

Circe looks to Rhodes with her hands held up in defense. Being Italian, those hands start moving as she talks, "I ain't sayin' we like, leave shit there. But if he's got security and sees a couple of masked weirdos that got the same mark as the trail his followin'," she nods, "It'd be a lil' extra. Oh and I'd suggest the three hole ski masks. Classic fashion," she gives a thumbs up.

Circe looked to Blink, "Ya know, that sounds better and cheaper. Yer a smart one Blink," blue lips parted in a smile at the end. "Fer intimidation I'd defer," she looks to Rhodes and he said his piece so the elf just pointed at the black flower, "Ta the scariest dude here that just said no."

Circe then rests her elbows on the table, fingers interlaced beneath her chin as she leans forth. "Ya know, if he is a conspiracy nut and all else fails we could play on somethin' else we know about Pico. He's a wannabe hero." She looks to the others, "He is helpin' this gal. We could play on that whole wo is us victims, please help Obi Wan and that shit." Circe leaned back as she grabbed another piece of garlic bread. "And I mean THAT as a absolute last option. It'd be a dolore nel culo ta try ta convince him ta be a savior and then hafta treat him like one fer all of us."

[Titania]

"L-let's not murder anybody, ok... please?", she pleaded with a trembling voice, "This Obi One person you mention, I say we should follow his advice and aim for a pacific solution. I-I will hire Mr. Detective and try to mislead him", welp, at this time they really didn't have to know that she couldn't spin a lie to save her life.

[Yumyumcrow]

Only a few days to go on this scene now. Would someone summarise what your plan is and then I can wrap this thread and move onto the next scene. Cheers

[Circe]

"Well I didn't get this famous barb thing he mentioned," Circe points with a thumb at Rhodes, "So pointin' out ya not gettin' Star Wars would be hypocrisy at its finest. And fanculo that," was the Summer's response to Titania not getting the quote. "I can just use it as an excuse ta have a movie night or somethin'. Maybe tequila shots whenever somebody says the Force."


It couldn't be as dangerous as playing the Stephen King movie cliche drinking game.

[Rhodes]

"Go gentle on her, Circe," Rhodes smiles. "I doubt the films were even formed Ideas when Titania here wandered into the Hedge. Still. We have a plan, I think. We should prepare."

So, the plan is more or less this - Titania lures Pico to some new diagrams we set up ahead of time, that lead Pico away from Funderland. While he chases shadows, Circe and Blink break into his office and steall his Faery research.

That's more or less it, I think!
