(Grey Hoods) Unionized

[Circe]

Circe raises her right eyebrow and ear, to those that can see the latter, as she kneels down to see the thing under the tarp. "Nope," she remarks in answer, especially as the thing didn't seem to have a Mask for the guy's eyes to be blocked by. Which was a problem.


"No bits are familiar on this Frankenstein knock off," which maybe was what it was? Circe wasn't sure but she could guess. It certainly sounded like something They could pull off, but at this rough quality? Probably not Their work, but maybe a Lost or hobs doing was possible. Given that arm only mount at Ambrosial Delights, Circe didn't doubt someone could do just that. But was this hob, ling, or Frankenstein?

Though one thing she knew, "Ya want help with this? Also, maybe don't flash this around too much in public though. Halloween decorations may be out, but bullshitting it would be hard with the smell."


If nobody stops her, Circe will try to pull the tarp back over it.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie was more curious than anything else about the weird corpse. She'd never seen anything like that before.

Briarwolves didn't have that number of eyes and ears, as far as she knew, anyway. So she ruled that out. The stitches suggested somebody got... creative. When the possibility struck her it might be some Gentry's creation, she finally started getting apprehensive.

The chips disappeared into a pocket, and the Beast took a more protective stance by Sera's side. The Claviger was on alert.

[Saber Sloth]

Circe pulls the tarp back down, and the Gre Hood, steps back out of car, slamming the door.

"Sure. Halloween props." an eye roll, "But see why I don't wanna do public. Got a warehouse? Or want me to park in the back?" a surprising verbal turn, considering the man's previous stance.

Circe thinks on what she could see before she pulled the tarp back, considering the myriad ways the Lost could appear it's not out of the realm of possibility that this is some poor dead Changeling, but there's a niggling thought about Frankenstein....well she can't rule that out.

Sonnie quick to play and quicker to protect the Queen, as any good Claviger takes another sweep of the area. She sees what she saw before. Nothing out of the ordinary. No ghouls or Hunters out for the Lost's blood, but now with the knowledge of what under the tarp and having the blue plastic moved, the Monkey can smell the decay, and rot.

So! Wanna move from out front of Funderland to somewhere else? I'll be opening a new Scene with a different location if we do move. Tell me if you want to find a warehouse, or if Circe has one available through her Status/Allies, or if you want to wait for closing and have the next scene in one of Funderland's meeting rooms.

[Gerrit]

Gerrit clenched his jaw when Sonnie pocketed the chips and appeared to get serious. From what he's seen from the Beast, that meant something. Moving was a good idea. But he didn't want to lead the guy to any of their Hollows or anywhere where they could be jumped easily. For all Gerrit knew the grey hood was still trying to trick them somehow.

Bloodshot eyes regarded Circe. "You know a secure place?"

I'm good to move - Gerrit's got no suitable location to offer.

[Seraphina]

The Nix was certainly not about to stop Circe from covering the thing back up.

If he didn’t want help with it, would he have brought it? Or did they force his hand? “I would be willing to take a closer look at it,” pausing, “in a more secure setting of course.” She wasn’t sure if her medical knowledge would help or not. But it couldn’t hurt…right?

How to know Sonnie was on alert? The food gets put away. There was a sense of safety with the Claviger close. There were few she trusted as much as she did the Beast. But Sera would also fight to the death to protect her friend.

This guy was just not a pleasant person, she thinks. Warehouse? Nope, she didn’t have that. And she knew her coffee shop wouldn’t work, not secure enough. Bringing him into the Tavern didn’t feel like a safe move either. Sapphires look to Circe, thinking if anyone had a warehouse, it would be her.

“I don’t have any warehouses at my disposal.” though maybe the Freehold should have one for things like this? Would a meeting room work? This was a huge security thing, and she wanted to go with what the Summer, head of security, would recommend.

Sounded like Gerrit was deferring to Circe as well. It made sense.

Good to move as well, and Sera has no real location to offer, except a meeting room

[Sonnie Wu]

The lack of immediate threats was both relaxing and scary. A common reaction when potential Fae mischief was afoot. It reminded her of the jungle she'd spent her Durance in. Just because she couldn't see the threat didn't mean it wasn't there.

On the other hand, maybe Sonnie was just working herself up over a corpse that was not an actual problem.

It was a problem for her nose, though. YUCK.

In any case, the Beast did her best to be quiet and patient as the other decided on a destination. She'd already made her suggestion.

Good to move, too. Unless it's a Hooters, Sonnie's got no ideas.

[Circe]

Letting him know that Funderland was a place they had access to, and thus the other hoodies know, wasn't a good thing for Circe. Not until they thought of the Freehold as too useful to betray at any rate. But clandestine meeting spots weren't that hard to come buy, it just depended on how clandestine. Nobody spots the rocket launcher sale in a neighborhood near a kiddie park? Big no, have to go a few blocks away for anything that wasn't along the lines of counterfeit jeans.


"Some," Circe says to Gerrit's question of if she knew of places, many of which were not available for being active closed warehouses. That said, she knew of some that were available. And it even would solve the problem of the smell for the reason that one was available. "In this part of town, there are a few grey spots. I know some nearby places that are open, probably, fer a meeting right now. One fer sure, cleaners are scheduled fer next week so nobody gonna even want ta be in that one."


Circe looks to Seraphina, "If a storage place will do, I can make some calls and find one that is nearby so we can get a closer look see," she turns to to the bat man with a questioning look, "Will that be fine?"

ooc:Circe can find an unused space from her various contacts, either as a supplier or a buyer. Status/she is known in her field of work. I am good with moving on to there if convenient or making rolls if need be.

[Saber Sloth]

Unless you want to use Circe 's normal place to do clandestine meetings, then I'd want you to roll Origins Manipulation + Persuasion + Allies you can post your rolls right here

[Circe]

Circe gets out her phone, goes to the back of the car, and starts texting very quickly. She could use the old speak easy, but there'd be problems for Circe. Monetary problems. Cleaning out the smell probably more so than golden silence, if for no other reason than folks knew Circe was a gun lunatic. But best not to let Bat Man know of it if she could help it.
