Derek heaves a deep sigh,
Quote:
I will talk to Mom about watching the kids for a few days and go with you. School starts next week, and Ava has daycare, so it shouldn't be a problem. So I will go too.
Stevie starts to disagree, and he interrupts her,
Quote:
You cannot seriously think I would let you handle this alone? We have all seen how this spreads and how quickly. Perhaps it is best to be further away from the kids right now, if this is what we think it is. The further this corruption is from them, them better. And it invited all of us, do you think we have a choice?

Henry, your phone (or whatever you have) beeps indicating an email.
There is no From. The subject line says "A Song Before Travel".
In the body of the text a simple link:
A Song Before Travel

Reg is nodding along, even though they can't see him.
Quote:
Ok, so are we all arriving separately? Do I need to pick anyone up? I can call ahead and make hotel arrangements for us.

Reg has paced his way back outside, holding the invitation and examining it while he talks.

In the light, he can see the little dots over the letters.
Quote:
Hey guys - this thing says "Help Me".

Yeah, get the hotel, I was checking flights and we will be there late tomorrow morning. That gives us time to get the kids up in the morning and...
He tapers off and you hear a rustling sounds and Stevie comes on in a very firm voice,
Quote:
We will give them kisses and hugs and tell them we will see them soon.

Henry shares the link to the group.

Guys, I am sending you a link that was just sent to me. Note that this is already on Youtube and a out there for other people to see. We appear to be behind the curve on stopping Huck.

Reg is very quiet on his end, except for the sound of waterfalls. This is just too much to handle on so little sleep.

Damn it Reg, mine has the dots too!

Reg peels the invitation apart and reads the hidden note.
Quote:
Oh. Great. Fun. This is awesome. A secret cabal, and we are just now getting info on it after, like, 20 years of nothing?
Reg sighs heavily, and lets his Southerner out.
Quote:
Y'all.

And because it has been so very long and this is so very bad, how's about a Stability test for everyone!

OOC:
When Reg mentions the seal, his very high tech fire alarm in his out goes off.
Apr 23, 2024 4:09 pm
Quote:
Ahhh shit, what the fuck?
They hear a string of colorful language as Reg jogs towards the house to see if there is a fire, or to shut off the alarm if there is not. There's too much rustling to make out what he says, but he's obviously both pissed off and shook.

5 on the Die so wither I am sane or just lost a lot?

What's happening? Is everything okay?
Apr 23, 2024 4:27 pm
The blaring alarm finally turns off, but there is a beep on the line, and Reg has to click over to the alarm company to let them know everything is alright.

He comes back on the line a minute later.
Quote:
I don't know. The fire alarm... wait. That was THE FUCKING HORNS. MOTHERFUCKER!

They can hear Reg moving quickly through the house.
Quote:
The horns! Like the car horns. FUCK ME.

There is a beep as someone buzzes the gate, and you hear Reg jogging again to the nearest intercom.
Quote:
Yes?
Quote:
Mr. Taylor? Everything ok?
Quote:
Oh hey, yeah Matt. We're good.
Quote:
Would you mind if we come in and confirm?
Quote:
I - yeah, ok. Hang on.
Reg buzzes them through the gate, then tells everyone to hang on. He spends several minutes speaking with the BHPD officers who drive up. After they leave, he's back.
Quote:
Goddamn.
