Now we’ve got a big, big mess on our hands tonight [W6, Thursday, Pre-Curfew]

[hydrokinetics]

[Another day, another meeting. This one's more tense than usual especially with the lack of a small bat-child. Percy's right hand is sloppily bandaged up and his jaw is tight as his eyes burn with anger.]

Dr. Lecter knows we know. He's known since Saturday. Hal confirmed with me he's the Deputy, just like Hal confirmed to Dr. Lecter that we were onto him.

[A shaky sigh.] What the fuck do we do now?

That could be a whole other problem, too. Look there's enough of us that we can split up and make sure we let nothing go unnoticed.

[he nods.]

Ash is definitely a threat if we're not careful. And he'll probably start suspecting something's up with me if I don't come back to the room like normal.

[but.] I'd do it if we needed to, though. Going out there alone isn't safe either.

[hydrokinetics]

That's what I'm worried about. My roommates are two of the people in this room. It'll be safer for me to go out there. I know how to fight.

[elemancy]

I know.

[but noct worries—leaving percy out there to handle it on his own sits so poorly with him in a lot of ways that it's hard to back down completely, even if the logic is sound.]
