    Skin pulled back tight against his frame and a ghostly white, eyes and mouth sucking and empty pits that appear to be without end. His shadow a deep black that seems to be driving the body instead of the other way around.

    “I’m, uh, more of a people person but sure I’ll help out.” He looked between Ram and Circe as they slid easily into a parlance that was foreign to him. Channel 7? He looked down at the radio and clicked the dial over, ok that was a good question. Uniforms to avoid questions, that was more language as he moved to slip the vest on. “Efficiently we should all take a different section of the park and let others know if we see it. We have any of those foldable park maps, if someone tells me it’s leaving the haunted house I know where that’s at but if it’s scurries east past the merry-go-round I’m not going to have much idea where it’s at.” Adding on to the Summers thoughts mostly because while he had the park memorized, he didn’t think everyone did and wasn’t about to put them out because of it. Also, the map had the little compass rose on it so that would help him orientate at least. "So where was it seen last, the petting zoo?"

    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    So it looked like they had two purposes. 1) Find the thing 2) Keep people from poking around near Hedge Gates 3) Avoid media attention. So, three purposes.

    “I know the park pretty well from my patrols,”
    Ram said idly as he picked up two containers of the green stuff and two bags. Looking around he walked over to a park bench as he continued talking “But if need one you can find them at customer service kiosks. A lot of the rides have them too for when people lose them.”

    He knelt down and opened a container, dumping the container into the sack before setting it up under the bench so that the bag formed a little ‘cave’ entrance. Not the best trap in the world, Not even really a trap. More of an offered hiding place and meal to tempt it to stay in one place. Still, this was a pretty central location. Maybe they’d get lucky when they checked back here.

    “Splitting up sounds like a good idea. Then if anyone sees it we can all work to converge and cut off escape. We can each take a vulnerable place. I’ll take the area in and around Enda’s,” he volunteered. He expected as Winter King John would want to take the Mirror House. Circe probably knew the Striker better than him. And the same applied to Titania and the Wishing Well area. That left only “And the tunnels.” Not a lot of places to hide down there but if the qua-something somehow got through the Hedge Gate or worse a search party, then Ram didn’t want to think about what this hunt for a smiling pokemon could turn into.


    Ram came back to the pile again, grabbing another set of greens and bag. He could set up multiple traps then check back here to grab more supplies to set up again. Then it would just be a matter of patrolling until someone found the thing.

    He looked to Circe for confirmation on the plan, ready to execute on her command.

    "Right," she nods, "Both of ya are. Petting zoo was and righto Ram," Circe uses her radio's antenna to point at the carousel's brochure stand, "Maps. Thank you Ram. The deeper tunnels it'll hafta chew threw metal fences but," Circe's ears droops, "They're old tunnels. Could be holes."

    Circe jogs over to the carousel to retrieve a map for everyone. She starts handing them out, "High Striker is being checked out by the mundy staff, so that one is covered," she scowls, "Swear I heard an idiot say pew pew."

    Circe observes what Ram does with the bait and the bag. Circe will remember.

    "And the entrances of course are watched. And it ain't here. I'll try the sort of food court. Maybe it's hungry,"
    she shrugs. They had a plan now. "That fails I'll go, uh, search around the area, outwards towards the East. Get ta the fence then turn back, lather rinse repeat."

    Ram doesn't find the quokka. It may be too far away, not have passed here, or the asphalt is bad for tracks. Primary rolls for finding this thing are either Survival with a lower target or Perception. Let us find a quokka!

    She loathes hunts. She loathes overgrown rats. She loathes ruined skirts even more so.
    The group has split, effectively leaving her alone in her vain search. If only she had a piece of cheese.
    And so, she looks around the Wishing Well, hearing some noise coming from the area.

    Circe finds the signs of passage. Humans have been here. Or maybe Changelings? Other things that wear shoes? Well somebody has been here but no quokka. Unless it was wearing shoes to throw them off.

    Unlikely so the elf is out of luck. She uses the radio, "It ain't been ta the food court yet, so that's a bust."

    For Titania:

    With her roll Titania will notice something. Scratch marks on the Wishing Well's closed front door, at it's base down very low. The outside seating has a spattering of what at first glance looks like blood, but is actually a smashed glass ketchup bottle.

    With tiny little ketchup prints heading East. Titania has found a trail of something for certain.

    OOC: Titania rolled well enough in the right area to spot a trail. You may pursue if you wish

    "Thanks, I'll grab one on the way to the House of Mirrors then." Made sense to split up by Court with the extra Summer taking up the Autumn slot. The park was wide, lot of little nooks and crannies for a small rodent, marsupial, he wasn't really sure, to hide in. John wasn't much of a hunter, never really killed anything before. First fight in his life had only been a few months ago. Though tracking a rodent couldn't be much different than keeping an eye out for hedge dangers.


    failure



    Unfortunately for James a house of mirrors was made to get lost in, rely on tricks of reflection and light. If there'd been tracks he wasn't a skilled enough tracker to even begin to spot them. His time within Winters quarters was wasted but he'd just push on. Clicking the Radio on he pushed the button to broadcast to those with them. "Mirrors was a bust, too much inside to see. Going to check the greenery nearby and push on from there, uh, over."

    Ram went to the tunnels first to make sure that any mortal search parties weren't there as well in addition to searching for the rodent. Even though the entrance through the administrative building was supposed to be secret. He closed the hidden door behind him and started walking along the rough passage. His footsteps echoed as he descended into the harsh light of the Edison bulbs. The sound and the buzz of electricity forced him to stop every couple paces so he could listen more carefully for the pitter patter of little feet or the gnawing of teeth. Until he came to the archway.

    The Ogre stood looking at the door. The gateway to the Hedge. It felt... hungry. Like it was waiting. Hoping. It wanted someone to knock. To scurry under it. To ask to be let in. And then it would open it's hungry maw all too welcomingly and...

    "Tunnels look clear," he radioed to the group and turned and left to check out the haunted house. Someplace less scary than that damn door.

    She drops a resigned sigh. As the capricious Wyrd would have it, she was destined to be the one to find this little monster.
    She pushes the button on the radio. "East of the Wishing well. Likely injured since I see blood", is it blood thought? She's not going to touch or smell it, so... whatever.
    And the hunt continues.

    ---Ram
    In the dark of the tunnels, it looks clear of Australian rodents.
    ---James
    In the reflections of the mirror maze, there seems to be no rodent of usual Australian size.
    ---
    Circe responds on the radio, "Okay, East of the Wishing Well?" walking, talking, and reading a map. Circe does some numbers, "I'll go fast that way."

    1 Suxx


    Circe is a little south of Titania and fails to pick up the trail.
    ---Titania
    Heading east, Titania finds the trail ends at a flower patch. Or more precisely, at a puddle next to the flower patch. Titania knows it is likely the quokka drank the water before continuing on. Titania's tracking skills are good enough to show which direction it went away from the puddle.

    It seemed to have started heading North from the puddle.
    ---The Target
    Fluffy snout twitches, black eyes sparkle at all the lights. So many shiny things, and so many smells. Such things to have his interest. Where would he crawl to next?

    And a little preview of the enemy, ready to move.

    East of the Wishing Well, Circe was coming in from one side he might as well come in from the other. Maybe if everyone converged, they’d close around it like a net it couldn’t escape. That was the hope at least, he shifted and moved to do his part, keeping his eyes open for a happy furry critter. Injured and there was blood, or did the jovial rodent find berries around somewhere. James was by no means an expert tracker, it’d been something he picked up to avoid pitfalls in the hedge and he was an amateur at best.

    failure


    He had keen eyes and a sharp instinct for observation but being able to pick out the creatures tracks when most of what was around was hard paths and not loose dirt made it harder for the Winter Sovereign to see anything of meaning. Seemed everyone was counting on Titania right now.
