008 | Anna Milton | [VIDEO]

[afallenstar]

[ She's distracted, sure, but Anna manages to pull together something resembling calm and composed for her addressing of the network. ]

In light of everything that has happened lately, I wonder if it would be a good idea to set up some sort of system to check in with one another. Two or three people you let know you're still- [ don't say alive, don't say alive, don't say alive ] in town and safe. Relatively speaking. It might help us recognise when people are going missing, figure out patterns. It's just an idea.


[PRIVATE - Jesse, Kenzi, Galen]

I think now is as good a time as any to set up defences against my dear older brother. One less thing for you to worry about.

[PRIVATE - Gabriel, Castiel]
This 'Crowley'. Something tells me he's not as friendly as the other black eye we have here. [ Which, okay a little rude but look - Meg hasn't exactly given her much cause for anything nicer. ] Should we be worried?

[PRIVATE - Ghoul]

I have a favour to ask you.

[Worst case scenario, he's familiar as fuck with that.] What kinda symbol? Also, there ain't no way I'm sendin' you away. This is strictly for the other ones and that's it.

[afallenstar]

Okay, there's not a lot you can do to beat an a- well, us. You can't fight them, so please don't try. This symbol though, it'll send them out of the area. Annoying, but it'll give you time to call me. I'll handle it.

[ She's not even sure if Ghoul - hell if any of her friends have made it onto Lucifer's radar, but there's no way she's taking that risk. ]

Do you have paper, a pencil something to write with?

[tooghoulforschool]

[A what? Beat a what?! He doesn't much like her telling him not to fight these things, hell he doesn't even know what he's supposed to be looking out for yet-- but the thought of her having to handle it? Simultaneous feelings of 'yeah, we'll see' and 'daaaaaayuuummmmm' going on.

He maybe moves a little too quickly when she asks for writing utensils and paper, moving through the living room and clearing clothes off the couch so she can sit as he heads to his room to dump the laundry.]

Yeah, just a sec. Sit down, get comfy. I'll be right back.

[He grabs a few sheets of paper from Jet's stash and swipes various pens and pencils on his way back for good measure. He sets everything down on the coffee table in front of Laura, straightening with a small smile like a kid waiting for his gold star. Eventually he sits. Just kind of flops down next to her.]

[afallenstar]

[ It's so not the time or the place, but the way he rushes off with a handful of clothes prompts a slight smile as Anna settles herself on the couch. It's kind of cute, but there's matters to attend to. She's got to stay focused, she's here for a reason after all. He's not making it easy though, with that little smile that he gets when he returns. ]

Okay, so this is basically it.

[ She grabs one of the pencils off of the table and carefully sketches out the Enochian sigil. All business here. If she maybe winds up a little closer than before when she sits back with the drawing in hand, then that's obviously just a coincidence. ]

Here's the thing though - I told you it'd be grim. It's uh, got to be done in blood.

[ She cringes a little even as she says it, but he's believed her so far. That's got to count for something at least. ]

[tooghoulforschool]

Who's blood? [And damn, this kinda looks complicated. He traces the outline with a fingertip, trying to memorize this thing.] Any blood'll do?

[Seriously, grim doesn't bother him. It's doable.]

[afallenstar]

Your blood. [ He's taking it better than expected and she smiles a little, tapping lightly at the center of the drawing. ] When it's done, you place your hand in the middle and it sends us out of the area. Disorientating, but it won't kill anyone. Then just call for me, I'll hear it.

[ She sighs a little, pauses for a moment and very nearly just tells him everything. It'd be a significant amount easier, that's for sure. Instead though, she shakes her head and leans in, pointing to different symbols around the main circle. ] It's not too hard if you break it up into sections. These three here, they're all the same. These two as well. This one is basically a three, and then you've got the big gun here in the middle.
