Agrippa tapped a finger on their bottom lip, eyes wandering idly as they mentally thumbed through everything being presented
"Can't give you much going on that alone, but I can back the notion that Eurydice was likely a target, and a target of someone in Spring. She doesn't rely on any fellow courtiers for income and she isn't inclined to share... Unsurprisingly that makes for some harsh judgement by her fellows."
A hint of a frown crept onto their face as they found themselves otherwise helpless to contribute to the brainstorming. Desperate to still sound useful, the beast hopped onto the train of thought that Archie had presented and ran with it.
"If you want infiltration or scouting of a location, you know I can help with that."

He brought up his hands in front of Finn. "Who there, big guy. Slow your roll. I did my homework and you can trust the info I bring."
He turned to the whole group. "Look, this isn't an investigation. If y'all want to take over after we take the drug off the street, be my guests."
"It boils down to this: drugs and Glamour are being circulated freely by a Ling. Which makes it a Ling problem, that Lings have to deal with. Otherwise, Hunters. I'm more than happy for the police to claim credit to make it look legit, but don't treat this like your Normy Work."
"The plan is to find the lab, find ties to Spring and make sure they can't make more of those drugs. If it means we have to break everything, fine. I'm also open to suggestions."

He pinched the bridge of his nose. This was a case of do-gooder meets good cop and GOOD GRIEF, Charlie Brown were things looking like they would go tits up sooner rather than later. It was all in the presentation, and beyond reproach and needy were not becoming options. “Finn, was it?”
Clear his throat. “He has a really good point here, and I think what we need to negotiate here is that this affords us the opportunity to handle Lost business, as well as mitigate and control the mundane side of things, making sure everyone gets there Miranda Rights when we aren’t as concerned about what the Freehold has at stake. You can help make this happen, make it clean, minimize damage. Take it by the balls you could say.”
He waited to see if his encouragement and offer to let the big man have a say in making the whole thing clean and tidy was worth his glamour. “Oh and,”
He turned to the room and opened his arms as if presenting. “Wakeman’s Storage Facility.”
Pause “Off Industrial.”
Pause “Source is their own con man who wasn’t as resistant against the Wyrd as they may have hoped. So to me - good as Gold, but I would love for you to help us make sure that its appropriate, Finn.”
He played to the sense of duty - both sides.

Finn quirks an amused eyebrow at Rowan. "So it's muscle then? Alright. I trust you've got your heart in the right place, Rowan. And I know you know your shit. We can play it your way, for now."
He listens to what Archie has to say and nods. "Basically what your saying is this is a jurisdictional issue. Lost on Lost action here, so we keep it in the Courts. I can handle that. Obviously this is bad stuff. Mortals are getting hurt, and dragged into supernatural shit they aren't prepared for. Not only is that bad for them, but could come back and bite us in the ass. We're going to shut down a major threat to the Freehold, and we suspect some of our own members might have a hand. Look for evidence while we're there. I'm on board with that."
He pauses for a moment before letting the other shoe drop. "I only have two questions then. First, what does the Freehold Law have to say about this action we plan on taking? In other words, are we green lit and legal on that front? And second for Rowan in particular here, have you alerted the appropriate authorities? I'm a cop for the mundies, but if this is a jurisdiction issue, I'm only a foot soldier in Summer. I'm not authorized to make arrests or issue warrants."

“Need help getting in?” Angel asked the group, a strange gleam entering his eye, “Can provide...assistance.” Angel’s skills thus far only extended to cooking to their knowledge, but it was so much more.

Agrippa nodded enthusiastically at Angel
"Good! Two infiltrators. Possibly a third, depending on how we're getting in?"
They shot Archie an expectant look, then turned back to Rowan
"I expect the idea is to scout out the place first, and decide what to do from there?"

"That's... a very good point, actually. Maybe we just start with infiltration and then you hand over the evidence to whom it may concern." He chuckles nervously, like ice creaking on a lake.
He nodded to Archie and gave him a thumbs up - they had a location now. All that was left was the person. He took the vial and offered it Glamour, as well as secrets of what he remembered of Arcadia. Eyes in the sky, fangs at his heels and the dreadful sound of hunting horns. With that, the Contract was invoked.
"That's right. Plans rarely survive the actual implementation. I say we head on over there and then figure it out."

A series of symbols, events and feelings trickle through the small vial, whispering its hurried secrets to Rowan. Ambrosia was the chemist that meticulously checked her equipment with the sharp eye of an intelligent scientist, making sure everything was well taken care of.
She turned down her nose at the whole situation of 'criminals' and profiting off the suffering of others. Discoveries didn't always have to be about Autumn, this was about bridging the worlds that separated Lost kind from their former Mundane experiences.
She worked with others looking to get their families out of dangerous places, and making sure their connections actually got something out of their shared trauma with the Hedge. It seemed like a just trade.
Who pulled her strings, anyway? What was she getting out of this? Ambrosia sighed, putting down the pliers that snipped the rose that sprouted from her wrist, asking if the answer even mattered when she was given everything she asked for. What sort of miracle cures could this lead to; in mental health and physical well being? |

Rowan shares his vision with the rest of the group, along with his thoughts on Ambrosia's kith - she was likely a Flowering, and was using her kith blessing to grow Goblin Fruits to use in the drug. The flower from the wrist, the name of the drugs and its effects tipped him off.

“Oh Geeze...Well this isn’t my normal wheelhouse but…”
The Fairest mused for a moment as he crossed his arms over his chest and used the thumb and forefinger of one hand to smooth out his moustache as he mused, looking towards the other Emerald in the room as if to broach them about it. “I am catching a blank on this one.”

Agrippa's eyes lit up with recognition at the chemist's name. They dug through their memories to pull out what details they could that seemed relevant.

Finn listens to Rowan's insight. This was the second time the odd man had provided information seemingly out of thin air. Finn has a hard time denying how useful a skill it is, but finds it a little unsettling. His own knowledge of the Freehold and the political situation is still in it's infancy, however, and he has little more to add to the group's brainstorming.
