    Missing posters are stuck to sign posts. Fallen pages litter gutters. People go missing all the time, the Lost know this more then most. Sometimes no one ever knows they've gone missing, other times no one cares. The night is dark, and shadows long.

    Sometimes, someone cares.

    Within one of Funderland's staff rooms, the Lost will gather to wait for one of those souls who care. Days before, a brittle voice was heard over the phone, asking for a meeting between those few who might help her find someone who might have been Lost.

    Abraham Norton

    Abraham answered the call for help, as the code of his knightly profession demanded. He was taking interest in the piling hills of missing person posters, so the appearance of this mysterious voice was divine providence - something to give his investigation focus, direction.

    He is the first to arrive in the back room where the meeting is to take place, taking a seat in the far corner, with perfect view of the door. A sword in his lap, a knife under his sleeve and a dagger on his belt, he felt armed to the teeth. A tactical backpack on the ground, filled with all sorts of gear to get him out of a bind. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

    It was quiet. The knight-errant detested silence, so to add himself some moxie he whistles a melody.

    Waiting.

    Mien

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    A fairly tall woman, roughly 5'11 with long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes are an intense, deep bright blue, reminding one of sapphires. Her lips are full and her skin is flawless. With that perfection comes a body that men fawn and drool over, and women envy.

    Treasured Nix

    The chance to help someone? That was something she couldn’t turn down. Missing person posters were one thing. But to actually have someone who cared enough to actively search for their loved one? That wasn’t as common to her.

    Walking into the room, she was casual, jeans and a white tank top. Her hair flowed around her shoulders, brushing the back of her calves. Sneakers on her feet as well as her Hedgespun jacket and necklace. Because you never know.

    Seeing her fellow Spring, she smiles, “Hi Abraham.” Greets the Nix, putting her messenger bag down.

    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    The blueberry Fairest was next to arrive, looking for all the world like a lawyer walking around the back office thanks to her suit. It is one of her usual black suits save for the black athletic shoes.

    "Ciao Abe, Sera," she nods in greetings she was just as armed as Abraham though less prepared for the Hedge. At least she wasn't in heels. Circe took a seat between the two already present as she dug out her laptop, "Ya two know the wifi password already right? It ain't a long one if ya don't."

    Instead of preparing for the Thorns she'd prepared to do research on the spot if needed.

    Flowering

    The door opens, and the low, chilling breeze of the King of the Autumn Court blusters in heralding the arrival of Rhodes. He is wearing his customary suit and hedgespun coat, despite the climate. The Flowering smiles broadly at he gathers Changelings. "Well hello, everyone! I assume we are all here for similar business?" He holds one of the posters in his hand

    He slips around to Seraphina and plants a quick kiss on her cheek. "Hello, darling," he greets her specially.

    Equipment - Hedgespun coat, fine suit, a fine hip-flask with an 18 year-old scotch, a single large kitchen knife and leather sheath, cellphone, a notebook and pen, wallet containing $127, assorted trinkets for hedge trading (some bracelets, shells, an empty fountain pen, a shard of quartz, a candle and lighter, all in a small bag).

    The one benefit to having a set meeting time is that the Lost do not have to wait long. Precisely at the set time, there is a knock, hesitant and soft.

    After a moment, the doorknob turns and the door is pushed open. On the other side is a women. Emaciated, more grey panelled then skinned, eyes wide and seemingly unblinking. Hairless, with heavy lines of black seen peaking out from under the lines of her cloths. Well worn, and practical. Around her, lingers the chemical scent of lemon cleaner.

    An abortive sound, "I-I assume I'm in the right place." unblinking eyes moving from Lost to Lost. "I...called. I need help." moving into the room, closing the door behind her, the hand that opened then closed the door returns to the battered stack of paper, clawing over it possessively.

    Sera arrives. Then Circe. Then Rhodes. All seemingly prepared for anything. It was good, having the best of the best in the Freehold for this most grave of matters!

    Finally, the one they were waiting for shows up, and it's obvious the distress does no favors to the already unflattering mien. Despite that, Abraham puts on a kind face, attemptiung to make their guest more at ease. He points to one of the free chairs, or if there isn't one ready, he fixes it "Please, sit"

    "You won't find a finer team anywhere else" Facts. Not opinions. With their diverse skills, what obstacle was too great? "I assume it's about these?" the knight-errant makes a gesture towards the poster held by Rhodes.

    He tries to call on the magic of Arcadia, but the fickle beast refuses to stick.

    Treasured Nix

    Smiling with a wave, “Hey Circe!” she watches her take out her laptop, which was a bit of a surprise. A side of the Summer she hadn’t seen. Fun! Nodding, “Yup.” Was programmed into her cell.

    Seeing Rhodes come in was a pleasant surprise. It would be fun to work with him! The smile she gave him was warm and loving, and if giving the chance, plants a kiss on his cheek, “Why hello yourself.” Had she known he was coming, she would have waited and arrived with him. Then a nod, “We are, come join the party.” Sera wondered if anyone else would be joining them.

    Sapphires turn to look at the door when she heard the knock. The woman who entered was observed, but not in a rude way. But the way the Wyrd affected each Lost was fascinating to her. And it wasn’t kind to this woman.

    But, that wasn’t her fault, and Sera remained friendly, “You are. And we are all her to help you.” Greets the Nix, “I’m Seraphina.”

    There was a nod as Abraham did his thing.

    Circe sniff's at Rhodes arrival, refusing to squee at the cutesy couple antics. She still gave them a thumbs up of support. Then the main event arrives.


    She eyes the probable Wizened. Could also be a Elemental of some sort and just meek. Circe wasn't sure about the whole Kith varieties available but some certainly overlapped. "You flatter us my friend, but certainly no exaggeration," Circe's tone is much more composed then usual. She could drop out of the Italian thug at any time she pleased. Usually for a straight up Jersey accent but sometimes refined Italian worked too.


    "I am Circe miss, welcome. Do you require anything miss? Coffee perhaps?" There was a Keurig around these back offices, that much she knew. Bloodhounds had nothing on Circe's ability to find coffee.

    "Just So." Rhodes inclines his head to Abraham with a small smile, waving the poster to the group.

    "Sorry I dashed out early. I had to collect a few things," he explains to Sera, before taking up a position against the wall behind the door so he is obscured to people entering. In all things, a touch of Fear.

    Circe's professional demeanour is infrequent to the Freehold, but Rhodes has seen it before. He knew just how serious the elf could be.

    The changeling that enters is a curious one. Still, civilities should be observed.

    "Coffee sounds excellent," he said quietly but clearly, cutting through the quiet from behind the arrival. An icy breeze and spinning leaves ripple out from the corner where the Dread Lord lurks."Please, my dear. Sit. There is no need to Fear us, unless you wish us ill." It wasn't quite a threat? Just enough to sound uneasy. "If you would like some... reassurances? To prove our honorable intentions, and yours, I'm sure we would all be willing to provide." He looks around the room for understanding and confirmation. Simple pledges might seem like using a hammer to kill a cockroach, but as far as two wary unknowns facing one another? There really was nothing better to lay some trusting foundations.
