The Guardians

Ill chat to the scarlet coloured man and see if he knows anything about the gifted meet (I havent missed it have I?)

No, you havent.

Well this is going well. No update tonight.

Wait for others at base, then read the super important documents!

Well once I have got some clothes on Ill go take a look at these documents

Aces

Blur chats to the scarlet man, and asks him about the meet. €œI€™m not going,€ he says. When asks why not, he replies that the last time he went to one, he almost got flattened by a flying steel door. The incident is well known among the Gifted, so Blur sees no reason to talk about it any more.

Guardian H.Q

The other five have gathered, and decide to look through the file and just brief Blur when they find him again.

It contains a report on strange happenings in Dryad Woods, a forest some ten miles East of Southside. It€™s a popular day-trip destination where the plants are overseen by a Gifted known as the Dryad. Just lately, there€™s been a strange aura around the place. People going anywhere near it have had their emotions boosted a hundredfold. Anyone remotely nervous going in has left screaming at high speed.

Possible locations:

Police station
Southside central bank
Dryad woods
Aces

Im going top these woods. Dosent sound like somehwere id want to go alone, though, so hopefully people will go with me.

Ill go to these woods, Ill end up the most cynical and sarcastic being in the universe, but thats a risk Im willing to take

I would go to the woods but instead i am going to go to Aces for a drink and to see if anyone will tell me anything

Aces

While Mephistopheles, Funky Junky, Stomper and Marathon head to Dryad Woods, Psy heads to Aces on a fact finding mission. Seeing Blur there, she fills him in on the events in Dryad Woods, then gets talking to someone about the events there.
€œI hadn€™t heard about that,€ a random guy at the bar says. €œI wouldn€™t go there anyway. The Dryad gets majorly pissed if anyone threatens or harms his plants in any way. I don€™t know if he still lives in those woods, but I don€™t want him breathing down my neck if I drop a cigarette butt. He€™s more chilled about people than he used to be, but no one harms his trees.€

Possible locations:

Guardian H.Q
Southside central bank
Dryad Woods
Police station.

Dryad Woods

It€™s quite far to Dryad Woods, but thankfully the police have provided transport, a modified police van in which all six Guardians can sit comfortably. No cars or vehicles except push bikes are allowed anywhere near the woods, and they make the rest of the journey on foot. All four are a little nervous of what€™s to come and what they may find as they enter the woods, and find those feelings growing into outright terror as they progress. At this rate, they don€™t feel they€™ll be able to get into the heart of the woods without breaking and running from unknown fears.
