West looks up from his leftover meat pie. He just hadn't been hungry the night before. "Let me guess. Go pick a fight with those Banishers we saw at Armadia's place?" _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Not quite. Believe it or not, they are second on my list...that thing that i saw at avalon...it bugs me. I can't put my finger on it."
He thinks for a second
"Actually I can. See, she was going to kill the man she had her eyes on. A man who was nothing unusual, just unaware. I've never seen anything like her. She...she's wrong." _________________ ________________________

West finishes his breakfast. "Man, I don't know about that. We just had a Magister tell us that our priority was the Banishers. We've got a laundry list of victims, which will get longer. I'll cover you if you want to pursue that, but..." _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"sure it was the first step, but we still haven't had contact with either of the people who are supposed to download the information they have. I'll stick with the cabal vote. I'm just saying this thing is feeding on people, and I have no idea what it is"
"However, if we do vote to go against the banishers, i think the college is a good start for investigation." _________________ ________________________

((The meeting will occur Wednesday or Thursday. Whenever we get to it. I am being unspecific OOC to try and be a little better about keeping game threads chronologically synchronized with real life. So you can potentially get a lot done before then if we're fairly active, or we may not get much done before then if we're all fairly busy.
If we're brutally honest, we've only really gone a few short days in game, so we're far behind on time line.))

West wasn't sure what to say. They were Arrows. They had their marching orders. It wasn't as if Vex had given them, they came from a Magister. He spoke quietly, "I'm not voting. I'm doing what Undrichmann told me to do. If this was some bullshit jerk-off order from a Ladder or Guardian, it'd be different."
West pauses, unsure of what to say next. They had their differences of opinion before on how a job should be done, but not on what job they were doing. _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Fair enough. He did say the Banishers were our first step, but he also indirectly said we are to take care of monsters as well. Neither step is out of line, just Banishers have been given priority, so I'm good with pursuing that. I'll just have to chase the monster another time then."
Kai was obviously not consciously comfortable with leaving the monster, but he wasn't going to argue anymore.
"So we start with the students at the college?" _________________ ________________________

A knock on the front door.
Dex is waiting there. He is a little uncomfortable being on the front doorstep, but they need the Neidan's help in this one.

West opened the door. He was unsure of what to say to Dex, all things considered, so he kept it simple. "Hey. Come on in." He opened the door wide so that the man could enter, and scanned the street and outside area. "Coffee?" _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Yes. That would be great, thank you."
Dex looks worn out.
"So. I uh, don't suppose you've heard but we're getting someone new. It'll be a few weeks before she comes in, so we're just coasting until then. Guardians are technically in charge of us until then, but our orders from the top are to keep up patrols, so there's not much they can tell us to do different."
"How's the news on your end?" Dex asks, just as uncomfortable as everyone else.

West was glad that he had the excuse of getting coffee so that he could avoid the initial awkwardness of Dex's words.
He returned, handing Dex the cup and motioned to Ankh, "Dex... Ankh... Ankh... Dex." West decided to address the latter portion of Dex's statement as he drank his own coffee. He just didn't know what comment, if any, would be appropriate about their change in leadership.
"We met with Magister Undrichmann, and he requested that we take more, ah, active action against the Banishers. I'm, uh, sure that's a lot easier now with two cabals," he added, not wanting Dex to feel as if the Kruegans were being marginalized. _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Yes. The main reason that the schools get hit most is because that's where most of the Apostates are. The schools just draw in younger mages, especially the ones who haven't cut their ties with old lives yet."
"And since these kids keep themselves at arms length from us it's even harder to keep them safe. Even Calligan and the Libertines have trouble keeping them close. I mean, they don't know any better, they're kids going wild because they've got magick and no one taught them how to use it responsibly."
-SIGH-
"You're the new recruit, right?" Dex asks Ankh directly. "Undrichmann had good things to say about you. Man I wish all these kids had the same level head that you seem to."

Guess we are going to have to investigate everything ourselves.
"Do you have any leads on the Banishers who were standing outside during our last meeting? Possesions they have, or items they may have touched? At this point there's no reason not to just kill them. Unprovoked attacks on the youth is not deserving of mercy or fireside chit-chats. I figure if we strike at them with a vengeance, maybe the rest will fade away, go away, or see the light and work with the rest of us."
Kai stared intensely at Dex, waiting for a response. _________________ ________________________

"Yea. Well I'm with you one hundred percent on that. The problem is that they don't have any intention to stand still for a fight. We've been trying to figure out a way to ambush them, but I don't believe that we can pull it off with just our resources. I mean without you guys."
"So. There are two things I can do for you. Couple of things that we've gathered that might help. Here's the bullet we pulled from one of ours, I've got some scraps of burnt crap from the arson in November, uh there's a cell phone photo one of the kids took but it's blurry as hell." Dex fishes a few more plastic baggies out of his pockets.
"But, this is how we hit them hard the first time and took down number six. They've wised up since then, do everything they can not to leave things that connect to them."
"So," Dex clears his throat. "We've got a plan B."

~~Ankh~~
Ankh smiled at Dex's compliment. She forwned in thought when he mentioned the college kids and their uses of magick.
"You know, I met a girl like that yesterdfay at the mall. She had very loose and sloppy magick about her and she seemed to be using it more to get high then for any kind of protection. If most of these college kids are doing what she does, it's no wonder they are easy targets. They're like beacons just screaming come and eat me, for christ's sake."
Ankh shook her head in dismay. "Her name was Gwenivelle, don't know if you've heard it or not. But anyway, if these kids are all doing the same thing, then they are serious loose cannons. Especially if they don't have any sense of structure or know any rules they need to be following." _________________ "I might like you better if we slept together."

"Yes. A lot of them are that bad. Not all, but enough. I guess they're just trying to live their old lives, do the College thing like TV and movies tell them is normal. Just doesn't click that everything's changed for them, and it's never going back the way it was before."
"And... it's going to be worse soon. Sacramento University has some kind of party celebration this time of year. The whole place is crawling with idiot kids. You better believe our lost little sheep are going to be out along with everyone else acting like fools."
"We all feel, and this is not just me but 9 Chain, Wellmer, and the Nihils, that this is when the Cult will hit next. There'll be chaos, it'll be damn near impossible to track all of the kids, and they'll be in no state to defend themselves."
"But it may just be our best chance to nail a few of these suckers. I don't know if you have your own plan, but this is the best I can come up with at the moment."

West listened, drinking his coffee. He had been curious to see Dex's reaction to Kai's suggestion of 'extreme prejudice' as well as how Ankh handled herself. So far he was pleased.
He wasn't wild about Dex's plan, but didn't really want to cast aspersions on the man's tactical proficiency. He also knew that Dex was probably concerned about the Kruegan's autonomy just as he was concerned for the Neidan's... and didn't want to get that concern mis-directed at them and ruin their ability to work together.
He nodded at the appropriate times, and started cataloging their abilities for deployment. _________________ Dog: Protean 1
