Hedge Patrol VII

Traveling past Funderland's administrative building where a secret path can be opened. A stairwell, narrow and steep leads the Lost far below the surface. The myriad of cobwebs had been cleared, but ever industrious the spider rebuilds. Single Edison bulbs have been strung up along the wall leading down into the Prohibition era tunnels that criss-crossed the subterranean map of the Freehold.

As the steep stairs come to an end, the passage abruptly shifts, taking a very sharp turn, running west-east. Rough hewn stone, dried mud, and grey brick run a curve overhead, cables run the length of it, tracking electricity to the glowing bulbs. On the ground is a rusted, unstable tack.

Placed against the far wall heavy grey stones have been carefully placed, creating an archway, a Hedge Gate, which is closed, for now.

Beyond the 'Gate the Hedge, ever shifting, always dangerous and it's always, always right there, just in their backyard...

The Last Patrol had to be cut short before it got going, the Strays breaking, scattering to the wind leaving only Jasper left within Sacramento.

But who knows what has moved in while the Patrol failed it's duty, and what's needed to rout it out...

Please include your Equipment, Health and WP with every post!

If you want to get going right away I'm going to need someone to spend 1 Glamour to open the Hedge Gate!

[Circe]

Overkill, the moto of the Gunbunny Smurfette of Summer. Which was why she'd a full backpack with plenty of supplies and some things for trade. Reading up on barter system give her ideas for what might be useful to barter in the Hedge, surprise! Reading can be useful.


And for more hostile threats? Well, that was why she was again decked out in her riot gear and toting an arsenal. But no gasoline, Molotovs, or dynamite. Well, currently. Honestly, she was starting to think starting these patrols at HER hollow would be the best option. That way, she could supply people to make a proper firing line.


As it was, she was putting off plenty of light to make the stairs safe.

[Jasper]

It didn't take long to find the secret path that lead past the Funderland buildings. It's kinda 'ard to forget where it happened, where they left me... He shakes his head, trying to clear the thought like a cobweb before he ducks down into the stairway and the tunnels beyond. He crouches slightly so that his ears and the end of the bow that's over his shoulder doesn't scrape the brick as he makes his way towards the gate, perking up as he sees someone's already there and waiting. It takes a moment for him to realize it's the Iron Queen. "Hey... I could say I wasn't really expecting to see you here but then why wouldn't you be.." he says with a bark of a laugh.

The Lost wait knowing there's supposed to be more than two on a Patrol, but even if the numbers remain small with the Freehold's Groundskeeper, and Summer Queen anything happening due to the newness, or inexperience can and will be compensated for.

When they're ready to go the Archway HedgeGate rests, closed still just in front of them.

We're still waiting for people, but I know ragnarokxg Vincent Black is dealing with IRL stuff, so will be able to catch up when we get going. Cress Molly Knight on the other hand, I haven't seen anything posted about an Interruptions (if I"m wrong someone tell me!) if you don't post into the plot within 7 days the door closes for Molly

[Vincent Black]

Vincent Black walked in surprised to see Circe here. "Hello queen, nice to see you here doing border patrol." Vincent then looked at Jasper , "I believe we have not met yet, the name is Vincent Black."

After the introductions, Vincent asked, "Is it just us three on hedge patrol, seems kind of small?"

Jasper was the next to arrive, bow and jacket like some wolf headed ranger out of a fantasy movie. She resists the urge to reach up for the cute lil' ears. Barely. "Nobody expects the riotously dressed Summer, dear Jasper. My weapons include armor, weapons, and I don't know the rest of that Monty Python skit," she shrugs. And then another dog eared Lost arrives in Vincent black. She twitches a little, too many cute ears!


There was some concern at how little the two had for this trip. Then again, Circe tended to fight like a mundy. "Vince," she greets him, "I've patrolled solo a few times. I do NOT recommend walking the piers near the river. Rotten, ya fall through, giant crabs try ta eat ya. But ya get good crab steaks outta it," she strives to reassure him.


"And I was hoping fer more," Circe decides to comment on the size, "I got more guns ta lend if we head ta my Hollow. Even a breastplate too," she sizes the boys up and down humming in though, "Hmmmm, straps limits? Hmmm," she taps the side of her helmet, "Eh, probably good fer ya pups."

[Jasper]

With him stooping over like he is, it's a good bit easier to reach the ears of that giant Beast. He seems friendly enough that he might not even complain. Either way, those cute ears flick forward as Circe speaks and he smirks slightly. He turns towards Vincent as the other Beast shows up, his eyes widening for a brief moment until he feels that feeling of safety and trust that those bound to the Wyrdstone have.

He stands up a bit taller, but not much as his ears brush the stone above him and they flick back, the dog-headed man giving a bit of a nod to Vincent. "Hey, I'm Jasper.. I think I saw you a bit at the changeover, but I was a bit distracted."

The giant turns back to the Fairest and nods to her. "More would be better, of course..." he pauses for a moment. "Don't really know how to use a gun..." he says, glancing at the bow over his shoulder. "Still learning this.. More of an up-close sorta guy but trying to learn new things too, so some extra armor wouldn't be turned away, in case we get into a scrap.. When we get into a scrap." he comments, flexing his large hands into fists as he glances towards the hedge gate.

"Oh!" he says, more to himself, glancing between the two of them. "Either of you got any food I can have?"

[Vincent Black]

Vincent was taken aback when Circe mentioned having more guns. Not because he didn't expect her to have weapons but that it felt a bit insinuated that he was under armed. "If you truly think that having more firepower is needed, I guess I could grab another gun or two. But I am usually a hands-on guy when it comes to hunting in the hedge if you get what I mean."

Vincent looked at his fellow beast, "I was thinking we could hunt for some food once we get in the hedge, but otherwise I have nothing right now."

"Well, my place is an option fer a pit stop if ya boys want ta kit up more half way. Only loaner I got now is a machete. But if yer fine with melee, I got range and skill ta do the kill helping," she assures Jasper and Vincent as she taps her assault rifle. The Summer Queen was confident she'd enough to solo this on her own without risk. She'd had a lot of risk with the stag statue, but not now.


And the puppier puppy was hungry? Circe clicks off the rifle light, lower the rifle and pulling down her back pack. She draws out a 8" long sausage, wrapped in plastic. Circe had done the foraging thing before in the Thorns and it was no fun. Circe tosses the ready to eat meat to Jasper, "Here ya go pup." She wasn't sure why he came without eating, but best a Beast not get distracted by his stomach.


They didn't have a gold Metal Flesh to make it work out with the Hedge Ewoks.


Circe is then distracted as she re-secures her backpack. She knew enough to not leave things loose in the Hedge.
