The Guardians

Aces

Blur chats to the scarlet man, and asks him about the meet. €œI€™m not going,€ he says. When asks why not, he replies that the last time he went to one, he almost got flattened by a flying steel door. The incident is well known among the Gifted, so Blur sees no reason to talk about it any more.

Guardian H.Q

The other five have gathered, and decide to look through the file and just brief Blur when they find him again.

It contains a report on strange happenings in Dryad Woods, a forest some ten miles East of Southside. It€™s a popular day-trip destination where the plants are overseen by a Gifted known as the Dryad. Just lately, there€™s been a strange aura around the place. People going anywhere near it have had their emotions boosted a hundredfold. Anyone remotely nervous going in has left screaming at high speed.

Possible locations:

Police station
Southside central bank
Dryad woods

Aces

While Mephistopheles, Funky Junky, Stomper and Marathon head to Dryad Woods, Psy heads to Aces on a fact finding mission. Seeing Blur there, she fills him in on the events in Dryad Woods, then gets talking to someone about the events there.
€œI hadn€™t heard about that,€ a random guy at the bar says. €œI wouldn€™t go there anyway. The Dryad gets majorly pissed if anyone threatens or harms his plants in any way. I don€™t know if he still lives in those woods, but I don€™t want him breathing down my neck if I drop a cigarette butt. He€™s more chilled about people than he used to be, but no one harms his trees.€

Possible locations:

Dryad Woods
Police station.

Dryad Woods

It€™s quite far to Dryad Woods, but thankfully the police have provided transport, a modified police van in which all six Guardians can sit comfortably. No cars or vehicles except push bikes are allowed anywhere near the woods, and they make the rest of the journey on foot. All four are a little nervous of what€™s to come and what they may find as they enter the woods, and find those feelings growing into outright terror as they progress. At this rate, they don€™t feel they€™ll be able to get into the heart of the woods without breaking and running from unknown fears.

Using my psycic-ness i will try and contact someone in Dryad woods, if i cant i will make my way to the guardian h.q

[alex_holt]

The Guardians

Ill shout into the woods for whoevers in there to come out, whatever they are, and Ill focus on how angry I am for making me like this, Ill think of Hewlitt and cards.

The Guardians

See if we can all cover each others backs. Might make us less scared and overcome fear. I get the feeling this arua is Shockwave, so Edge might be around. Thats also something we should be on guard for, surprise attacks are nasty. Just move slowy and cacously together and hopefully there wont be much to be afraid of.

The Guardians

Im gonna try not to drop anything on the flowers, though dropping something near the flowers might get the wee mad guys attention! Then we could chat and stuff. I think we should be on high alert, just in case there are some nasty people there. I would kinda like to climb a tree to see if we can find a house or something anywhere, but that might get me lynched, so Im not sure. Any sign of trouble, hide! Then go all Batman and shizzle, mofo!

The Guardians

Aces

Blur decides to leave for the central bank, but on his way out, he sees Psy concentrating and asks what she€™s doing. Psy replies that she wants to warn the others about the Dryad. Blur then replies that that€™s the reason the police kitted them out with standard police equipment, such as radios. Psy looks at her radio for a while, turns to Blur and tells him to shut up. Blur protests that he didn€™t say anything, but Psy answers that she can hear what he didn€™t say.

Dryad Woods

The four have decided on a strategic retreat to the edges of the forest where they can think more clearly. Mephistopheles gets a plan almost immediately, and sets his thoughts on cards and a certain wheelchair bound Gifted to get his anger up, then heads off into the woods. Funky Junkie is about to start threatening the flowers a little when his radio buzzes. It€™s Psy, and she tells him all about the Dryad. With this new information, Funky Junkie decides to leave the flowers alone. Stomper and Marathon elect to stay with Funky Junkie as there is safety in numbers.

Southside central bank

Blur enters the bank, and shows his I. D card to the security people. They tell you that about from the manager, all the staff who were present during the robbery have been given a weeks paid leave so they€™re not around to interview. They do, however, give him the CCTV tapes of the time in question which they had been planning to give to the police.

For initiative, public opinion up by 3 points.

Deep in Dryad woods

Mephistopheles€™ plan is working. Instead of fear, he€™s growing more and more furious with each step he takes into the woods. He shouts for whoever€™s there to come out, but either they don€™t hear him or they don€™t want to come out. His radio buzzes, but he angrily turns it off and continues inwards. As the shouting makes his throat hoarse, he gets steadily more frustrated, and gets the urge to start burning things if whoever€™s there won€™t come out. As he progresses inwards, the urges become harder and harder to ignore.
