Dunno if anyone's looking into this fog shit, but I've followed a few people who have been taken. They take them to the water and drag them under. I tried to follow further but the fog's too thick and I'm not stupid enough to challenge that many of them in their own territory. [ She pauses and when she speaks again there's a hint of tired amusement in her voice. ] I am stupid enough to follow them on land though. There were footprints that lead off into one of the thickest areas of the fog. Followed those for a bit. Fog gets worse the further north you go but there's something new there.
There's undead everywhere and... one of them looked exactly like someone that got caught a few days ago. [ That'd caught her off guard to see someone that looked like the person she'd tried to help. It also really hammered in the idea that they probably needed to do something about whatever this shit was. ] I made it pretty far without them noticing, seems like they're stereotypical undead, just more bloated and wet. Further you get, more there are and then there's the crab men. [ She'd run into more problems with those, but she's not going to actually admit that. ] There's a lighthouse and something there. Those crab things are protecting it and there's, I don't know. There was a sound? It almost sounded like something singing up on the cliffs. Maybe from the lighthouse. Couldn't really go any further alone. If anyone has anything else to ask, I can tell you what I know. Or you can find me at the Tavern.
[ And that's all she's got to say really. She's not good at ending things like this so she just ends. ]

Bad decisions and Shalimar went together like peanut butter and jelly. It wasn't like she tried to make the worst choice possible, it was just that she didn't think things through. Instincts lead most of the decisions she made and not the potential consequences of those decisions. That'd been the case with her choices over the last week. It'd all started with her stumbling onto one of those crab things taking someone towards the sea. She hadn't been stupid enough to go after it directly, but she couldn't help trying to help. A mistake that resulted in nothing but frustration and obsession.
That's what it'd become. An obsession. The whispering kept her from getting too close but that didn't stop her from trying to track where they were going. Eventually she'd been able to figure a few things out. Unfortunately, she'd run into a few problems when she'd found the undead and the Lighthouse. Somehow she'd managed to keep quiet and avoid being spotted for a while. All good things come to an end though and she'd made a misstep that caught the attention of a few of them. She'd gotten out, but not without a few regrets and more than a few scrapes and bruises to show for it.
And that's how she'd ended up in the Tavern on her second drink. She'd cleaned up some by the time she'd made her Network post but it was still obvious she'd been in some sort of fight. She'd counted herself lucky that there weren't many people in the tavern. Couldn't blame them there with how many people were going missing.
She ran a hand through her hair and then waved someone over to order a third drink. "One more when you get the chance," she said with a tone that betrayed her exhaustion. Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned she'd be here.

"It's just a few cuts and bruises. Won't take long to heal up, and I've fought with worse."
no subject
He cared because she was a friend, and he wasn't going to let people get hurt on his watch anymore. Also, a friend was what she would stay. He or she couldn't afford anything closer.
no subject
She looked over at him and her tone shifted to take on a slightly flirtatious tilt. "Telling me what to do now, huh?" But she did drink up and then waived the bar tender over for another refill.
no subject
and dangerous, and it kept her mind away from the people they weren't yet equipped to save."So, since we're drinking in a bar in another dimension, why don't you tell me what you do for fun back home?"
no subject
She tilted her head at his change of subject. Well, maybe a distraction was a good thing right now.
"Fun back home..." she trailed off and chuckled. "Haven't had much time for that lately if I'm being honest. Used to enjoy going to bars and seeing just how many drinks I could get unsuspecting men to get me though." The smile on her lips widened and she took a sip from the newly refilled cup. "Spent a lot of time in the training dojo too." Which, as strange as most people would probably find it, was definitely fun for her. "Had a friend that really liked going to the movies, he was especially fixated on the previews though." Which made her laugh to herself, sometimes Brennan really was just a kid. "And some nights I went hunting. What about you?"
no subject
"It depends on my mood. I enjoy clubs, but I also like quiet evenings at home, reading or watching Netflix. Then sometimes, I'm a supreme nerd and game sometimes. Uh...table-top." After everything else he'd already shared with her, it seemed stupid to hide trivial things like hobbies. "I used to go for runs with my brother. I miss that guy." He shook his head. They'd been through some tough things together, and he'd always looked out for his little brother, even when Harry hadn't been aware of it. "So your friend liked the movies but you didn't?"
no subject
"Table top gaming," she burst into laughter at that. Picturing him sitting around a table pretending to be some wizard or something was actually hilarious. "Sounds like something Jesse would have been into as a kid." And maybe now, though his tastes in games had shifted more towards the action type that could kill a person. Her laughter faded as he mentioned his brother and she thought about her team back home. "Would you really want him here thought?" Maybe she'd be okay with Adam or Brennan showing up, but this not Jesse. She always hated knowing Jesse was in potential danger, even though she knew he could more than take care of himself at this point.
She shrugged her shoulders at the question. "Nah, I loved them. Just aren't as obsessed with the previews as he is. He throws a temper tantrum when he thinks we may miss them." There's fondness in her tone though.
