Welcome to Hemlock Falls

[Diana Senis]

Diana is nearby pondering as she listens to the conversation typing on a data pad to make sure she has all the information she needs. She had arrived early enough to get the briefing but has said very little since she arrived, instead has been documenting quietly. She mutters in a very clear French accent "Hmm.. if this is an investigation.. Will do to gather as much as possible.. Maybe get some scans of the area and what is there.. Then again they said they had images.. hmm wonder if I'll need to gather composition data once we get there.."

 

[Craft]

Craft Ramsay sits in the back of the meeting room, listening to Araci discuss the the situation in the appalachians, and the others in attendance fire off questions. Good questions. He, however, remains silent.

Craft had to smile as one mentions the duty to protect the secret as well as those not privy to the world as the supernatural.

But he remains silent, plugging in the numbers mentioned in the recording to his phone. Getting bible passages, lottery numbers, census ata, tire measurements and co-ordinates in Cameroon back he frowns. It's rarely that easy, but you have to check the obvious first.

"Never that easy, is it?"

Craft shrugs and realizes most of the discussion is over, and departure has been mentioned for the next morning.

Standing and taking a drink of his coffee, he looks around at the other 'volunteers': "Well, let's all hope for an uneventful camping trip, right?"

 

[The Dullahan]

Samuel "The Dullahan" O'Rourke was in the back of the room, sitting in one of the conference room chairs, slouching a bit as he regarded the woman giving their brief. He had forgone the name tag, but it was clear he was a man who could handle himself, a dangerous aura clinging to his lean well built frame. He was wearing dark blue jeans with a pair of beat up looking dark brown boots. His button down shirt was light blue and it was partially covered by the brown jacket he wore. His clothes didn’t really give away much about him, nothing that he didn’t already want people to know at any rate. He scratch at the shadow of a beard starting to grow on his face before taking a sip of his coffee as he listened.

Oracles? Idols? He sighed, all this shit was like something out of bad syfy movie. Sharknado’s rival at the shit-tastic box offices.

At the mention of having a choice, Sam tried not to laugh, his new employers were very clear. Make them look good, while getting all the information you can. Theres no choice here. Well, at least thats consistent between his old world and in this so called secret world. He nodded at the woman as she passed out the pamphlets. This was his first mission since he was newly awakened as a bee, and he was going to the middle of nowhere to play tourist.

The life of exciting adventure, indeed.

Sam watched as people raddled off their questions, he also watched the ones that didn’t and wrote in their notebooks, or looked thoughtful. No intervention, this was starting to remind him of his team days. He was about to ask about engagement protocols when another spoke up about it, and he stayed silent. He preferred to observe anyway, no reason to draw attention to himself.

Then group morality started kicking in, good ole boy scouts types. He sighed quietly, he had a feeling this was not going to well. There was always someone that wanted to save the world. Sam took another sip of his coffee, poor bastards haven't realized yet that there was no saving it.

Sam looked over at the man who just spoke, non-eventful camping trip, huh? He hid his smirk with his coffee cup, taking another sip.

Famous last words, he was sure.

 

[Molly Dufrene]

Molly gathers up her notebbok, the pamphlet, and her energy drink in her arms as it seemed that the meeting was mostly over, but she waits around to make sure, and to avoid being the first person out the door.

In response to Craft hoping for an uneventful camping trip she says quietly "Yah." and nods but thinks That seems unlikely with my luck.

 

[Craft]

Craft offers a quick grin following his uneventful camping trip and heads to the front of the room, snagging another croissant on the way.

"Looks like it drops to near freezing this time of year... At least of my Farenheit to Celcius conversion isn't horrible. I hope the Cee-Oh-Vee is supplying longjohns with it's camping gear."

Craft looks back to those still present. "I'm Craft, by the way.... Craft Ramsay. Looking forward to roasting marshmallows and solving mysteries with you folks."

 

[Araci]

Araci nodded at the group. "As the saying goes, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I will leave you to prepare for the trip and peruse the information we have collected."

The satellite imagery and topographical maps would show a town sprawled along a mountain road, with a big cluster of houses and several other smaller settlements, and everything surrounded by forest. A creek cut through the big settlement on the east side. Nothing else seems to stand out in particular.

With a bit of luck you can find basic camping equipment in the CoV Warehouse that doesn't come in white, blue, and a the lion and sword logo. Anything else you need, you'll have to get from a store.

((if your character wants to research anything in particular or collect any special piece of equipment, please DM Atrus here or on Twitter and we can check it out. Otherwise feel free to head on to action thread RP:1 - Welcome to Hemlock Falls.))
