[quote=Britney][color=C67C12]"We don't teleport out of it... We open a hole, we have someone keep it safe, do what we have to do, and then leave through the door we came through. The Temple would offer its services if that meant extending an olive branch to us, and I'd be happy to coordinate it. Especially if... One of the Blessed Pale Adepts says they saw me in a vision... I'm compelled to answer that call."[/color][/quote]

Britney cringed at the thought of allowing the Temple to help them. What made her cringe harder was Leon's thought that he could open a hole into the Pit. Or the fact that it was a good idea [i]at all[/i]. All the horrors that were down there—Abyssal Hunters, Autoknights, the other multiversal threats, and Sunshine fucking Jones-that they could easily let out. Britney sighed at Leon before counting off with her fingers.

[color=f4eb93]”... The Deathpile, The Great Maw, The [b][i]Rampage,[/i][/b]”[/color] Britney named three beings. [color=f4eb93]”Maybe you all don't know what they are, but those three are up there with Stiggy that are [i][b]currently[/b][/i] being contained in the Pit. I don't know about you all, but I'd rather not[i] replace[/i] Stiggy."[/color]

However, the whole conversation about the Pit was interrupted when something charged into the room... Britney clenched the Noble Vow tightly, not recognizing it as everyone assumed defensive positions. However, she recognized scraps of the creature's face - it was Ashley's [i]cousin[/i]. This was all the confirmation that Britney needed that "Clancy" was not what he said he was. Hell, she was somewhat suspicious that he was Father Wolf himself! [i][color=f4eb93]Not so tough, are you?[/color][/i] Britney cracked a wry grin.

Though there was a crystal in his chest, a few different things could come to mind, but due to the whole 'infinite possibilities' schtick magic had, Britney couldn't pin it down without further examination. Britney took a few steps forward to get a look at it like Layla said... then Luca grabbed the fucking thing. She couldn't help but tilt her head at Luca's sheer[i] stupidity[/i]. He had no clue what the crystal was, and he wanted to touch it - it could have been a magical bomb, for God's sake! Though, if Luca couldn't rot it away, they could be in some deep shit...

The crystal decayed, and Sully healed Clancy... Britney sighed in relief and took a seat by Greyson - who had his gun drawn. Britney stuck her hand out and gently lowered it, gesturing for him to take it easy. If Britney hadn't thought any better, their timing would have been a bit suspicious, but Britney would have given them the benefit of the doubt nonetheless. However, Britney let everyone else do the talking and just placed the Noble Vow on her lap as she listened, waiting for her turn to introduce herself - which she had already done yesterday. Britney mentally noted various things that were said... and cringed her fucking eyes out at Ruby's mention of the Temple. 

Britney facepalmed.

[i][color=f4eb93]They are everywhere I fucking go.[/color][/i]

However, things were peaceful until Layla opened her mouth... and divebombed the meeting. Layla threw out some bold accusations, blaming the Greenwood member [i]Naomi[/i] for Alizee's death. Luna pulled out her phone, and they played two (wildly out of context) recordings to prove Naomi was to blame. Jack, Stormy, and Linqian immediately shot that down by defending Greenwood, and Layla was acting [i]surprised[/i] when she didn't get the reaction she wanted. Britney facepalmed. What was she expecting to happen? Did she think the Coven, some of whom [i]really[/i] wanted this alliance, would throw it all away because she [i]said so?[/i] Was Layla [b][i][u]SERIOUSLY[/u][/i][/b] that delusional? Did she honestly think the Void Heart was the [i]victim[/i] here? Neither Greenwood nor the [i]Wolfpack[/i] was responsible for Alizee's death; it was the testicle and her own combined stupidity.

Adora led Layla out of the room before she could make a bigger ass of herself, but the damage was already done. The meeting was tossed around despite their best efforts. Though, Britney couldn't help but turn to Luna and (cattily) say,

[color=f4eb93]”... [i]You know, this [b]really[/b] raises the question of what [b]else[/b] you got on that phone of yours.[/i]"[/color] Britney chuckled and left it at that.

However, Linqian began flipping out on Anya, and Britney facepalmed. [i][color=f4eb93]Jesus Christ, can we[b] not[/b] look like a band of incompetent, dysfunctional jackasses?[/color][/i] Britney facepalmed. Well, it was up to Britney to try and fix things. She hopped up, ran over to Linqian, threw her arm around Linqian's shoulder, and smiled at her. 

[color=f4eb93]”... Linqian, [b][i]chill.[/i][/b]”[/color] Britney began. [color=f4eb93]”Now is not the time.”[/color]

However, Britney raised her hands and did the timeout gesture as she said to the group - both Sycamore and Greenwood,

[color=f4eb93]”Heeeeeey, everyone...”[/color] Britney started, [color=f4eb93]"... How about we all take five to chill? Grab some pizza. Hell, take a drink.”[/color]

[sup]Some time before Greenwood came in.[/sup][/center][right][b]Interactions:[/b] None.[/right][right][b][code]Outside the House on the Hill.[/code][/b][/right][hr][hr]


[i]Damn it, damn it, damn it...[/i]

Shaquita was right on Clancy's trail as he fled. She got sloppy and let those cops get close, ruining the whole thing. However, she was quick to chase after Clancy, being able to hear his frantic movements yet some distance behind him. Yet, Shaquita came to a stop when he charged into the House on the Hill. She mouthed a silent "fuck" as she shook her head. Shaquita knew that room was probably full of Paranormals, and going in there, armed to the teeth or not, was practically a suicide mission - even for her. Shaquita sighed before returning to her SUV parked down the street. 

She would have to report this to Luis later, and see what he says on what to do next.
