Well, this day got off to a fine start. Trying to play Medieval 2 TW, and the computer kept pulling armies out of it's ass. Seriously. Reached right up there and yanked. The planning session kicked off while I was dealing with that. Everybody had their ideas. Lexi just wanted us to stock up on silver weapons(which would never work. Can't hold an edge, and a bullet would just warp after it got fired.). I didn't have anything, since I figured MIST wouldn't approve of us putting a torch to the entire forest just to smoke out some werewolves. Asses. I told them in Alaska to nuke the site from orbit, and they didn't listen. Figured they'd listen here, but noooo. It kind of sidetracked into talk about the old Norse wolf lore, too. But Hal, much as I hate to say it, had a point. Even if the werewolf things attacking the area were tied to titanspawn, it'd be pretty hard for them to reach some of the areas in the city where attacks have been.
And Andrew brought up an absolutely great gem. It seems our...side objective for being in the area is dealing with the attackers as well. Which means life got alot more complicated, which just further proves we ought to colony-drop the whole area. The group opted to split up(Not much choice, regardless of what horror movies have taught us. Someone had to go spy on the meeting, and someone had to go check out the attack at a farmhouse near the town.). Kennedy volunteered to go play spy. Me, Lexi, and Cindy chose to go with her too. Then...ugh. Hal's entire squad are members of the Chivalry Brigade. It might be fine when we're not on mission, but when we're out doing actual work, we don't have time for that nonsense. Grrr. I'm still steamed that they all seemed to think that us ladies couldn't handle this on our own. I told Hal we'd figure it out. And I did. It took me all of five seconds of wandering through town to learn German, and that doucheclown still thought we needed one of the goonsquad. OI.
Lexi is way too damn peppy and needs to burst into flames before she gives us all diabetes.
For my part, anyway, I opted to go with Kenny to the castle in case the meeting had computer systems set up that I needed to...deal with. Lexi managed to freak out some University student working as a waitress after asking a whole mess of questions about the wolf and horse rider motif. The little sprite got alot of info(See: Audio/Video recording, Village Talk.), though...at least until she asked about what families might have a 'werewolf' reputation. Waitress just buggered off then. Like I said, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
After talking our way into the castle(Reminder: send bill to Kenny for Rufus' admittance fee), we took a quick look around. Wartburg(Aside from sounding like it belongs in Harry Potter) is a nice lookin' place. I could do things with a castle like this(Note: Draw plans for hidden lair.). That's the point when some guy named Kreiger showed up to talk to us. And that's also the point where I make whichever chump is reading this wait until the next episode. Same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel.
