Talking Points

[Kray]

Shoulders more hunched, face set in a surly snarl as continues to try and find his way through the winter jungle of the hedge. "Bah. Sure enough." Stubborn to it would seem, committing to his course as he replies to Sonnie.

Circe's shared advise to accepted with a grunt and short comment. "Huh. That's handy." The advise, or something else there? He is not forthcoming.

[Svelte Sven]

Such odd, intriguing little patterns... Sven hadn't imagined that he'd be able to enjoy what was essentially a pleasant stroll in the Hedge. He wasn't daft, he was still keeping an eye out for all manner of nasty Hobs or other such monsters, but so far, they seemed to be safe. The small crystals of ice that played upon the ground captured his attention every now and again, bringing a half-smile to his face.

Unfortunately, for as sharp-eyed as the Darkling was managing to be, he still had no earthly idea where they were meant to be heading. He simply trusted that Circe and Kray had the lay of the land because he certainly didn't.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie was quiet.

Which was weird. The Beast usually enjoyed forays into the Hedge. She liked adventures! But this time...

She was still unsettled by... whatever was going on with the local Hedge. The silence and the strange changes. Old memories, some long forgotten until unearthed by her increasingly more powerful Fae nature, kept fighting to surface. Bad memories. Memories of that place. The place were silence was Death's calling card.

Too quiet. Too quiet. Tooquiettooquiettooquiet!

It made her grumpy.

Grumpy Monkey just kept eyeing their surroundings, and listening for danger.

[Saber Sloth]

Kray leads them forward. Circe pointing out familiar landmarks, even with the changed hedge. Sven has no earthly clue as to his location, but trusts in the others to not lead him wrongly, while Sonnie's fear eases with the joyful laughter of hobs in the distance, an ear twitches and she's sure she can hear the sounds of a distant snowball fight.

They keep the Path.

I'll need another Wits + Investigation! (Teamwork can still apply) and Perception (Remember Clarity) if you want!

[Circe]

"Wisdom comes from [tip=fucking up]cacchiando tutto[t/ip], learn from idiots willing to share. Like me," she doesn't notice the undertones, if any, from Kray.

The snow and cold means her armor has a double benefit to the protection: insulation! She will claim it s planned if ever asked. Circe is mostly just wary of threats, for tis the Hedge after all. Hence the helmet, even if it needs adjusting a little.

[Kray]

The giant's posture hunched against the cold, stepping heavily through the snow. ""Uh. Everyone still with us back there?" Not having heard from a few of them for a few minutes and well his attention was as focused as it could be on getting to their destination.

Circe gets another grunt. "Ah. I still don't speak Italian." So the source of wisdom is rather lost on him. "Bah. But I do listen to you." Did not always agree but he gave the queen of summer swords more weight then he would to most.

The Winter King remained aloof as he followed after the other Seasonal Sovereigns, stopping only occasionally to examine the frosty crystals that intermittently surrounded them.

Though he didn't show it, he was starting to grow frustrated with the lack of progress. Wherever this little farm in the Hedge was, it was eluding them. I rather don't appreciate being on the other end of being hard to find.

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie didn't answer Kray at first. Like an animal, her attention was focused on the distance noises she was perceiving. Was that..?

"Snowball fight?" Was she asking if anyone wanted to have one? No, wait, she was looking off in some direction. She blinked her eyes and turned towards the others, keeping her voice low. "I hear laughing. Playing. Hobs, maybe?"

The Beast started creeping in that direction as she carefully listened for more information.

[Saber Sloth]

Things continue to go slowly.

The Path narrows, twisting. The sun flashing along the snow, blinding some of the lost momentarily, but it isn't Sonnie's eyes that lead them now, towards the joyful sounds.

With the group as it is, they keep each other upon the Path, until eventually they come upon a hill. A familiar hill. Kray (and Circe) know this hill. Just over this hill is the farm.

The hob sounds of snowball fighting can be heard just beyond this hill, as well as the faint voice of the grouchy Wizened. "If any of you fuckers break a branch I will come for your livers!!"

Didn't want to narrate y'all going over the hill yet, since I didn't know if you wanted Sonnie to hang back still and do some scouting here, or if you wanted to risk her coming face to face with Sam Crow

[Circe]

"Thought it was nevermore Svelte," she doubted it was the case so tried to make light of it. Ah, and there is familiar territory. "Over yonder hill we shall find a salt of the earth type of agricultural specialist. Grouchy farmer," she bluntly declares.


Then looks at the group. "So, is it going to be boys only whilst he girls look for tracks on the trails?" That had been the plan. "Also, what is the signal for its copacetic for us to come, stay the fuck away, and having a bad time, start the violence? I do NOT want to mix those up. Or divvy up the bribes."


Signals for we found trouble and are there is now danger from Sonja and Circe would be obvious: automatic rifle fire. Miscommunication there in if the ladies are in danger or ARE the danger. And the spices could make for a good barter item, though that also works for bribing lookie loos the Spring and Summer locate.
