Strange things are afoot

[captainpillows]

Somebody needs to tell me what's going on. Now.Odd, I've installed some bolts in the main doors, and I'm working on locks for the windows. I cleaned out the old hardware store, so we'll need to find a new place to look

At the risk of asking obviously stupid questions, is everything all right?

[captainpillows]

No...

I can't say for sure but- unfortunately we may be in trouble.

Rion is missing.

[clevermedic]

How long has he been missing, James?

[captainpillows]

A couple days. But he's blind. He needs help.

[m0therlove]

What is going on? That Rion kid's missing?

[captainpillows]

I couldn't tell you, but Rion is missing. He's blind and missing.

That and... well. I have a bad feeling. I'm not usually the 'feeling' type of guy, but I just can't ignore it. It's kind of eerie.

[m0therlove]

Well shit.

Don't got to explain it to me... I know exactly what that feels like. If I wasn't still laid up I'd go look with you. Anything we can do?

[captainpillows]

Not at the moment. You're injured, so just sit back. Though I do suggest you stay far away from the Cathedral for a while.

Don't worry. I've gathered some last minute supplies from a store across town earlier today. Had to get the wheelbarrow to carry all of it. The place should be fortified much as possible, so I'd recommend boarding as many windows as we can. I'll do that while you're out. Watch your back.

Lilia will be safe with me. At least, at the risk of having her father go poltergeist on me again, she better be. Too bad we don't have a panic room or something.

[ ooc: Strikes are also private. ]

[captainpillows]

Good.

I've stockpiled some bullets. They're in my room in the drawer.

I could only wish we did.

[loopmein]

Found a couple extra clips for you guys as well. You and Harry will make more use of them than me.

The basement's probably the closest thing we've got to one.

[captainpillows]

Thanks. Just leave them in the room then.

Maybe we should move everyone down there until this blows over?

[hesaphantom]

I shoulda stopped him.

...What's going on? That seems like a heck of a lot of precaution for a missing person.

[captainpillows]

Stay inside, Danny.

[hesaphantom]

Hey, I'm not just some useless kid, you know!

You can at least tell me what's going on!

[captainpillows]

Danny, now isn't the time to be nasty to me.

Rion is missing and something is coming for us. All of us. Stay inside and I swear to god if I find out you ran off I'll tell Harry and he's worse than I am, I promise you that.

James.

You can barely convince yourself that you can look after your own sorry self.
How in the hell are you going to protect us something you don't even know?

Re: [private and unhackable]

[captainpillows]

Would you rather I do nothing, Maria?

Should I sit back and watch everyone die? Sorry I can't be the big hero, but I'm the best you've got.

Re: [private and unhackable]

[revedepapillon]

I'd like to know who put the drunk with the death wish in charge.
I'm not worried about whether or not you will, James. More whether you actually can.

Re: [private and unhackable]

[captainpillows]

So you came around just to discourage me then? Isn't that just such a surprise.

Good to know we can count on you to doubt me in hard times.
