Okay, hopefully I'm doing this right. Just learning how talking to this thing works. Which sounds really stupid, I'm sure, but that's how it is.

[A pause. She feels awkward. And it's annoying to know she sounds so awkward.]

This is Gretel.

I was thinking about your offer. I don't want to push this deadline they gave us. Not a fan of magic, but I also don't want to test it. So. If you're still... okay with it... I'd like to take you up on it. Just to get it out of the way.

[After an hour or so, she gets a message in return.]

Hello, Ms. Gretel. Your message was fine, don't worry.

I would be glad to help you. How would you like to do this? I can tell you I'm in the Earth District, but I have no qualms meeting you somewhere if you prefer.


((OOC: Log time yay? 8D? Also, do you wanna do the sort of Service play thing for Gretel? Because I'm very interested in playing that out if you are cool with it.)

[likesevidence]

I can come to the Earth District. [There's no middle ground here, no neutral area where they could meet for this.]

I guess we'll talk details in person. [It feels beyond strange to discuss this over these things.] Where should we meet?


(ooc: Definitely log time! And I'd be cool with the Service play, but I can tell you now Gretel will need some coaching! Simply because she is new to it, is awkward with it, and... well. She's great at calling the shots... when she's hunting. This? She's going to fail at for a little while!)

[freeholding]

As you like. There's a small cafe near my apartment. [ta-da, Gretel will receive a GPS node on her device pointing out where] I'll go out and have a drink. Feel free to come by. If you haven't by nightfall, then I'll assume you've made other arrangements. No hard feelings.

[Professionalism: John has it.]


(ooc: Cool cool. I can definitely work with that. If you want to set up a log, then go ahead. If Not, I will have time to do so tonight. 8D )

[likesevidence]

[It all seems too much like magic, how these things work. If Gretel felt she could, she'd throw this "phone" into a fire and let it burn.]

I'll see you there.

[Calm, in control. Like she wasn't nervous as hell about this.]

[LOG~!]

[ It's with some serious thought that Sam finally decides to add John to his forwarding list. But he leaves the message blank. What John will get is a file. ]

[Oh, Sam's timing could not be more apt. John grins as he pours through the attachment.]

Thank you, Mr. Winchester. I appreciate it.

[monsterbait]

No problem.

[ Except he's still dubious. But it'd be a waste not to get some expert opinion. Or at least as much as one can potentially be in this situation. ]

Anything jump out at you?

[freeholding]

Your timing is interesting. Do you think they are related to the mysterious video on the network today?


((OOC: John is hedging because A) he's one of the possessed folk this month and B) I cannot find much info on the Rasalhauge, tbh, even going through the event info. 8\ ))

[monsterbait]

I don't know. Someone said this kind of thing has happened before previous attacks.

[ But he won't name names. ]


(( OOC; AHAHA OH GOD. This is the second possessed person Sam has sent this to. His life, all these mistakes. ))

The last thing I remember before passing out for three weeks is the city getting occupied, and now it looks back to normal. I'm checking back through the network, but did I miss anything else important? [By which she means personal, specific to him oh no Chloe you have no idea.]

[freeholding]

Many things. I'm not sure I am the best to give an objective synopsis though.

((OOC: Just got back from a weekend trip! Will tag log tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for tardiness!))

[mostlyprofessional]

Then give me a subjective one.

(OOC: All good! Sorry about mine on the log.)

There was a group that meant to overthrow the Twelve. They claimed they would return us to our homes if they succeeded. Some fought them. Some let them take control, seeing them as the lesser evil. Some were enthralled by them to do their bidding.

[mostlyprofessional]

Which of these do u fall under, and r u hurt?

[freeholding]

The last, and not grievously.

[mostlyprofessional]

Alright now?

[It's indirect, but it's about both answers, inquiring as to his state of mind control as well as his physical state.]

[freeholding]

I'm not lining anyone up in my crosshairs anymore, if that is what you're asking.

[mostlyprofessional]

Not that I'd judge you if you were, but I'm glad you've got your self-control back.

[freeholding]

[John sighs and gingerly touches his side, where his injury's still healing. This whole situation is-- He's glad it's over.]

As am I.

[mostlyprofessional]

I was also asking about your non-grievous injury, tho. If you want some healing, I'm free.

[freeholding]

No. No more magic. I'm done with it.

I appreciate the offer, but must decline.

[mostlyprofessional]

Fair enough. Well, if you need help with anything more mundane, feel free to drop me a line. I know how much of a pain the simple stuff can be with an injury.
