Date: 23rd~28th of September
Plot: Missing Hunter
Areas: Westminster, Bromley, Various in between



A hunter has gone missing. They were last seen almost a month ago, travelling to the outskirts of London to hunt down a werewolf. With the Blood Moon approaching he hoped to track down his prey and take it out easily at the peak when it had no powers. However, things went a little awry. The werewolf he was tracking cut through Bromley, now Fae territory, and ended up in deeper water than anticipated. A Fae summoned during the ebbing rebalance of power has caused a little trouble, and it may take a while to untangle.

Missing for a month. That wasn't good.

"I'm familiar. Something about hunting, right?" He tried his best to make it sound normal, every day. Even though it wasn't the kind of hunting that one would usually think of it.

"I might be able to help."

[knightscode]

Close enough. He nods confirmation, frowns and shifts his weight as he thinks.

"He followed his quarry down here into fae territory, so much as I understand. I've been asking around but haven't been able to get a clear on either him or what he was hunting. East End Pack member fleeing."

He lofts an eyebrow, lets out a slow breath as he looks around. Fae don't hold an particular love for werewolves, so it's interesting that they decided to cut through fae territory. Then again, maybe the pack member was desperate to avoid every other faction.

[constantprisoner]

"Was this as far as he got then?"

It was odd scenario, although he's not surprised about the lack of information. If it was a singular mission, there wasn't really much of a point in sharing a lot of detail.

"And...I don't suppose you have anything of his, do you?"

[knightscode]

"Last known location. If he moved on from here we aren't aware of it, but we can't real it out. As for anything of his --"

Lancelot winces and shrugs expansively.

"Forgive me, I hadn't come expecting help tracking. If you asking Hillingdon I don't doubt they could turn something up for that. Do you have a dog, then? Or..."

He tilts his head slightly, the rest of the suggestion unspoken. Is he a werewolf, or a shifter?

[constantprisoner]

"Well, it sounds like you might need it," Sirius says wryly, before nodding. "I've...got ways of tracking stuff down."

Even with quiet voices, it's hard to admit to the fact that his sense of smell is heightened, even as a human. If he's going to shift, however, that's going to take a little more coordination.

[knightscode]

"We need all the help we can get," he agrees. Two people asking questions can only get so far so quickly, and Lancelot isn't sure what state Matt is in or how much time he has. "I can give you my number, in case you run into trouble or if you find anything."

He digs for his phone a moment, swipes it unlocked and looks up at Sirius questioningly.

[constantprisoner]

"Unfortunately, I haven't got a phone," Sirius replies, looking at little sheepish. It's probably something he should get, but hasn't really gotten around to. Especially since that would mean potentially revealing himself.

"I can go looking and meeting you somewhere in a bit though. If that works."

[knightscode]

Ah. That does make it a little more tricky. Lancelot winces apologetically, hesitates a moment. Sirius could use a payphone if he really needed to, but he might not be able to find one quickly and easily-- may not have change or find one that accepts cards.

"Well," he says after a moment's thought, "there's a Starbucks on the high street we could meet outside at the end of the day. Easy enough landmark, opening until about 8. We could meet for coffee half an hour before closing? Lancelot, by the way." He quirks a smile,a little rueful. "It would probably help if we both knew who we were asking after."

[constantprisoner]

"Sirius. I can probably manage that," he replies. If he switches to his dog form, that should give him plenty of time to sweep the area, and possibly get into a few places that might be a bit more difficult to access.

"Again, do you have anything that might have belonged to him. I could try sniffing a few things out." Pun intended.
