    The strange thing about sufficient preparation is that if you do it, a plan goes very smoothly.

    As Circe made her way back to the others from her own brand of crazy distraction, she took a moment to admire her handiwork. The chaos and fire roars away, burning oil bringing panic and disorder and, naturally, the fire brigade. The location specifically chosen so that one specific station will be forced to respond to the call.

    Gerrit, Ram and Titania lie in wait, ready to make their move, all according to plan.

    The fire truck pulled out of the station, sirens screaming, mere seconds before Circe drops in with them.

    Thanks to Titania, they knew he would be there, with a only a fine skeleton presence remaining.

    It was time.

    Welcome to the Big Event.

    This is a more involved scene - please list your current levels of Glamour, Willpower and equipment in your opening post. Try to keep it in there going forwards (but don't stress if you forget, I know I do all the time). I recommend using the Notepad from the character name drop-down (so useful).

    If you want to have done anything reasonable in preparation before getting to this point, you have a few days. Anything you're unsure or want to check, just ping me a message or use the OOC.

    Making your way over to the station unseen (if you choose to do so) will, you may be unsurprised to hear, be Dex+Stealth.

    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human.

Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    Ram dressed purposefully. His first layer, while larger than most peoples clothes, he’d bought to be as boring as boring as possible. Blue jeans, grey shirt that could be mistaken for black or blue in the dark. The shoes were athletic, meant for running. If this turned into a foot race, he couldn’t be worried about bad footing. The climbing kit he left behind. There wouldn’t be time to change in the heat of the moment. However, he set rope aside to sling over his shoulder. They would need to strip the fetch to check for scars before they killed it, and he would be much more comfortable if it was tied up. He slipped his smart phone and a roll of quarters into each pocket. One to take pictures of said scars, one to add a couple bruises to the mix.

    Next he got out his lifting belt, it wasn’t something he’d want to be wearing nonstop on something like a patrol and he considered leaving it behind here but ended up snitching up in case he had to push through a barricade. Then he strapped on his riot gear. It would slow him down a little but, he grinned wickedly, not as much as many might think. He’d practiced in it enough that it felt almost like a second skin.

    On his way out the door, grabbed three last things his war ax, four white t-shirts left over from the coronation, and a kit aid kit.

    When he arrived near the station he hunkered down and pulled one of the t-shirts over his head and horns, tieing it tightly and using some of the kit’s gauze to make sure it was secure. The fabric wasn’t too shear, so he tore holes for his eyes, his kith blessing making it like tearing a tortilla mask.

    He offered the rest of the shirts to his companions if they wanted. The first aid kit was for Titania if she was willing. He wasn’t sure if it would help her contracts but it might be good to keep her powers in reserve or have a mundane option if she ran out of juice.

    Ram did his best to control his excited heartrate with careful breathing as the engine pulled out and away. They were on the clock.

    "Alright, stay frosty. Let's go."

    Ram chose to focus on speed. The faster they were off the streets and into the building, the sooner they wouldn't need to worry about stealth at all.

    Mien:
    Leathery scars, bruises and scaly scabs cover the whole hairless body. There is a certain symmetry to the disfigurements, the color of the visible skin ranging from pale pink to purple and dark red. Lately patches of dark blue and black - frostbite - have appeared on his skin and some of the scabs have frozen over and crystalized.
    His right hand shows a copper-coloured, wilted and flaky scar, engulfing most of his palm and the inside of his wrist. Next to frostbite and bruised scars it adds a third layer of wounds bore by the Ogre.

    Mantle:
    Contrast seem to grow slightly more stark around Gerrit, the crisp clearness of a winter morning. Sometimes the sound of ice forming or breaking can be heard in a short, brisk snap. When using Contracts a subtle, biting cold can be felt around Gerrit - pins and needles prick both the Onyx and those close to him.

    Crown:
    Solid, thick panes of clear ice symmetrically arranged around his head with fern frost at the base.

    This was it. Between preparing for this evening and keeping up with his own life Gerrit didn't have much rest the last few nights. The wear and tear definitely began to feel tangible, but he was dead-set on pushing through this. For all they knew Ram only had this one opportunity to get his life back, so they had to push through this and make it count.

    He chose to war a dark pair of jeans and a dark pullover - something to easily disappear from view if necessary. He brought his backpack filled with a rope and a first aid kit. Frankly, he just wanted to be prepared for anything, since he didn't know what they could expect from the Fetch. Having a semblance of routine to follow also helped to ease the anxiety about facing off a Fetch for the first time. Gerrit had been telling himself to detach his own issues from tonight - although the similarities are striking, this was not about him.

    He took one of the shirts Ram offered and copied the Render, creating a makeshift mask. He felt his blood seeping through the fabric and if he looked anything like Ram the two Ogres surely were a terrifying sight to behold. He offered Ram an encouraging smile and a thumbs up before Summer kicked this operation into gear.

    Gerrit stayed behind for a moment, asking Smoke yet again for a favour.

    2 successes


    Feeling his Glamour run this low felt like scraping the inside of his intestines for every bit of Magic left within him, but this is what it took. Once the Contract was struck and Gerrit felt the shadows around him deepen he kept pushing some more Glamour through his beaten body to harden his mask. Maybe he should have taken some time to rest, to refuel.

    Maybe it was too late for second thoughts like that.

    He followed behind Ram, making sure to stay hidden even though it might take a beat longer to get there. You never knew if they needed to spring an additional surprise or needed eyes on the outs while things got wild.
    They could do this.

    She doesn't agree with the plan, honestly murder is an ill advised solution. But again, his Fetch, his rules.
    As promised, Thursday night the staff is at its lowest. She's volunteering tonight, handing calls, making sure the coffee is always warm and ready, and occasionally chat with the guys before they get dispatched.
    She looks at the two Ogres stationed outside.
    "My shift starts in a couple of minutes", she says, "You better wait a couple minutes that they are all dispatched"

    Circe had to forgo stealth for several reasons. The delay in arrival being a big one. The time to do the truck in a total disguise, really a full cover gimp suit with goggles, was compounded by how hard it was to remove the thing. It'd be bad if the suspect in the fire appeared on cameras near the station where Ram had his "accident."


    So she changed attire, thoroughly before arriving, and was pretty much running tech support for things. Bullet holes would be even more suspect though she was ready for that if the Fetch proved a problem for the other three.

    That and diving out of the truck had been painful too. The bruises were better now but damn did that hurt.


    "It is me," she says in her usual accent. Needed given her becoming a brunette and wearing contact lenses, "Apologies fer the, ow," Circe's left shoulder twitches, "Delay. I'm ready ta make sure the tech side goes fine. I'll work faster alone fer that. Can set up anywhere really," she pats the laptop case before she pats something under her brown tweed jacket, "And got yer backup if things go ploink shaped. Best ta avoid bullets though."

    She'd stay as close as she could, just in case.

    The changelings make their way into the station, finding Titania sat at the desk as planned. The area below that would normally hold fire trucks is deserted, it's force dispatched. The traditional pole is in the corner.

    Anyone who has observed the station will know that there are always at least 2 firefighters that have to stay and hold the fort. From her unique perspective, Titania knows that this is the day when there are exactly 2, including their target. The other, Trip Edwards, is somewhere above.

    When not on field duty, she also knows Michael is usually in his office on the second floor. The first floor is all standby - break room, lockers, showers.

    The stairway upwards lies beyond the desk.

    The fire station looked empty but looing as they entered. For a brief second Ram imagined hundred of duplicates pouring down the pole and stairs ambushing the ambushers. It was like he could feel the fetch's menace. And it thrilled him. It felt so close.

    The bottom floor looked clear. They were zeroing in.

    "Check your corners and make sure he doesn't escape down the pole or stairs once we get up there."

    He set the first aid kit down on Titania's desk before bull rushing up the stairs. They needed to get this done fast. As he got to the top, he reached into his pocket and wrapped his fist around the roll of quarters. To weapons in hand he stepped onto the landing and did a visual sweep, trusting his companions to be behind him.

    Gerrit tried to be as quick as possible while staying stealthy just to keep up with Ram. The Render apparently wanted to strike before the Fetch had any opportunity to react. Titania manned the desk and Circe wanted to set up somewhere unseen, so it was probably best to follow Ram upstairs.

    He answered Ram's orders with a nod and an affirmative grunt and made sure to keep his eyes everywhere, preferably on those corners and directions where Ram wasn't looking right now. He still didn't know if he would actually fight the thing once they found it, but he fully intended to have Ram's back all the way through.

    Circe is delayed prior to entering the building. She had stopped to work her computer magic. Namely, using her back doors from earlier to turn off the server for the security cameras. Then sending a trigger to her telephone. That would cut the power to the lights with an app.


    Then put things away. She got the idea from a videogame.


    Oh, and she needed to screw the suppressor onto the pistol. The bullets and barrel were custom but they'd still be noisy if she needed to use it. And her mask going on over the own facial coverings. Ninja time it seems!


    failure



    Too bad the Larcenist was distracted by not scratching her face, she was doing terrible with the quiet. The contact lenses were bad enough but the beard was just so itchy. She should have gotten a voice changer to deepen her tone. Sure she could fake it on her own. But it'll be hard to keep up with adrenaline flowing.


    Cross dressing Circe will be slightly behind the boys due to the time getting the cameras offline. Which is good because she is bordering on distraction right now. I realized I didn't describe her disguise earlier, oops, she is dressed as a guy. Padded shoulders, bound chest, fake beard, groin cup.
