    Once more the Lost go to the streets, this time the warmth is cooled. Rain bountiful, a torrential torrent, of Wyrd blessed rain, had washed away the stagnate terror that had clogged the street previous, now was the blushing of new life.

    More of the damages had been healed. The glass replace, the street swept. Sonnie Wu noticed more people on the streets. More like they had been in the year before during late March and early April. New trees where planted where the old ones had been ripped up by the roots, and even merry flowers were in bloom.

    Bees and ants, and all manner of insect were about doing what they do. Birds call and over head a siren rings. Typical city sounds in the full bloom of Spring.

    The Monkey Girl knows where the Graffiti is however, and she knows that not a single soul is looking it the direction of the Keeper's Calling Card.

    Steepscrambler

    Winter was over. Thank Kong! The streets of this neighborhood being active again put the Steepscrambler somewhat more at ease. She led the small procession towards that alleyway.

    Dressed in well-worn blue jeans, a red hoodie over a black tee shirt with a picture of Donkey Kong Jr. on it, and her Hedgespun boots, Sonnie Wu kept the hood up to ward against further spring showers. Quarterstaff in hand as a walking stick, she kept an eye out for danger signs: hunting hounds, people with stitches, and anyone who looked like they might be hiding antlers under a hat.

    "Here," she said to her companions as she pointed at an upcoming gap between buildings. Her lips quirked up slightly, "Thank you for taking part in Monkey Girl Tours, our next exhibit is in the alleyway on the left. Tips are appreciated. Please exit through the gift shop."

    Hey, humor was her defense mechanism.

    Equipment: Quarterstaff, 2 throwing knives (concealed), smartphone, messenger bag, Hedgespun boots (+2 Speed), Hedgespun Coin (+1 Def), 3 goblinfruit (two ertwen pods, one coupnettle tea), a box of dog treats.

    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.

    Treasured Nix

    Not wanting to head out to hunt for graffiti and an asshole Fae in yoga pants, she has them stop by her house. Jeans were needed, a new black tank top, and sneakers, in case they had to run. Long hair was tossed in a quick and messy ponytail.

    Now as to a weapon? She had nothing. Weapons had never been her thing, and she was just going to have to wing it so to speak.

    Of course, it would be raining. And her Hedgespun jacket didn’t have a hood, so the Treasured was doing the wet look it seemed. Though it actually looked great on her! Like there was a doubt.

    Following closely to Sonnie, she kept checking her phone, hoping for a call or text from Rhodes. She was worried. That had been the first time she had seen him that angry, and she had to know he was ok.

    Hope. One thing that kept her going.

    Stopping, she looks. Then smirks to Sonnie, “Does an ice cream cake count as a tip? Cause I got one with your name on it my freezer.” She says. But really, it was in there.

    "So, this is it huh?"
    wiping some rain off her sleeves.

    Spring. It filled people with an optimism and love of light that made the garnering of Fear increasingly difficult.

    Well. Outside of the current situation. The Huntsman could be here at any time.

    Rhodes stood beneath a black umbrella, waiting. Catching sight of Sonnie and Sera across the street, he offers a wave and began to cross over. The dark coat still covered the Dread Lord, but it looked like he had....dressed down? Loose pants, trainers and regular sweater, black leather gloves, matching the coat. Different from usual, there was no flowers, no elongated ears, no pale skin or overly large eyes. His mask was hardened - something he did only rarely.

    "Hello, darling," he says, with a small smile, slipping the umbrella to cover Seraphina and him, and leaning in for a kiss. His eyes glance from one to the other. "Hello Sonja." He offers the Beast a small smile on an otherwise neutral face.

    Sonnie leading Sera, find the tag easily, how the Mortals give the alley a wide berth another marker of where exactly it is. The Lost see what Sonnie has seen before. First seeing the Mask of the picture the Monkey girl had shown them.

    Placed high, higher then can be reached without scaffolding. The Mask, first. Paint, abstract things that yes, look like flowers and antlers. In a vibrantly, violent pink. It's so pink in fact that the paint could still be wet. Like it hasn't been touched by time, or weather.

    Seeing beyond the Mask, lays the Mien. Bleeding read, there is a stag's head. It's antlers pointing up, high, oh so high, protruding from the building and making Sera and Rhodes remember the antlers of the Huntsman, and how they scraped the sky.

    The stag is wreathed in marigolds, acorns, thornless roses, and petunias. In jonquil, larkspur and every single lily. Just like the carpet of flowers underfoot, of that final dream...


    Int+Academics to discern what the flowers mean, or you cna make an Int + Occult roll for the tag

    "Hey, Rhodes. We were right, Sera! He did come here. I'll take that ice cream cake as a trophy." She smiled to the Nix. After a quick glance around, she led them into the alley and to the base of the wall that held the Arcadian artwork.

    "Ta-da!" She gestured to the graffiti with a flourish.

    She only looked at it briefly, having seen it before and never made much sense of it then, either. Let the more learned Autumn King have a go at it.

    Instead, she kept watch. She recalled how Crazy Man caught her and Titania by surprise here. She hadn't been paying attention to their surroundings. Now, it was much more important to do so. So, the Beast watched for hounds and Huntsman and whatever else while the Fairest performed their art studies.

    As a Steepscrambler, she knew to watch the roofline. Always look up.

    Treasured Nix

    Ah, so she wasn’t the only one who had changed. And…a Mask? Was he really that worried?

    Her face seems to light up as he came over, meeting his lips half way, her eyes sparkling. “And thank you.” Gesturing to the umbrella. Though truth be told, she was pretty much soaked, but she liked the gesture.

    Sapphires return to the reason they were here. The graffiti.

    “That looks like it’s fresh.” Pointing to the pink. Looking to Sonnie, “Was it always like that?” or a trick of the eyes.

    “As a trophy? It’ll melt, but it’s still yours.”

    Still, she tries to figure something…anything out about the tag.

    Looking up at the Tag, seeing Mask, and then passed toward the Mien, Sera cannot make heads or tails of what's displayed.

    For the Watchful Monkey, she notices that as the Lost stay in place, lingering in the alley, there are figures poorly hidden, watching them.


    For the Dread Lord, he's stymied at gathering a paint sample, the tag is simply to high. Though he wonders if there would be any paint to actually gather, looking passed the violently pink Mask to the Mien, to the meat beneath.

    Everything in the tag reminds him of the Huntsman, quickly he gathers that this is a calling card of the Keeper. A blatant, blaring announcement of His hunting grounds. The Stag His symbol and the flowers wreathed around the head are those from the carpet, made cape from that terrifying dream in which they met Him. He knows the flowers themselves have meaning, but it does not seem to be mystical.

    The Graffiti is to high for Rhodes to get a paint sample. He would need to be on the roof of the building the graffiti's on and lower himself, or find some way to scale the wall.
    For the meaning of the flowers, it would require the Int+Academics

    Sonnie didn't mind the rain, usually. Even this strange torrential downpour that soaked her hoodie to the point of clinging to her form. It rained constantly in the Screaming Jungle, and the wet made it harder for predators to pick up her scent.

    However, it also made it harder for her to see right now. For instance, these observant shadows put her on edge, as she had trouble making out details.

    "We're being watched. Probably just the locals, but it's hard to tell in all this rain," the Beast related this to the Fairest couple of them all. She took no threatening stance. Not yet. She simply leaned on her staff, flipped a lock of wet hair out of her face, and watched the figures right back.

    To get a clearer view of the spies, she called upon a contract clause. Putting a hand to her chest, over the damp t-shirt bearing the image of Donkey Kong Jr., she connected to her inner monkey. Glamour surged through her form, filling her senses. The Fairest could, for a moment, sense the contract activation. To Sonnie's now enhanced senses, she could hear the chittering laughter of monkeys all around her - echoes of the Wyrd itself - though the sound faded after a few seconds.
