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.

Lancelot seems to take the wind out of Alice's sails, calming her, if only temporarily. She looks at him, chewing the inside of her mouth in thought. As if Alice wasn't hesitant before to raise her voice and confront him, and nearly accuse him for pushing Circle Daybreaks agenda. Her anger polluted her thoughts and her inner struggle made it worse. She didn't know Robin that well, but her pain and grief resonated so deeply with Alice.

She found herself deeply sympathizing with her. In a split second, where Alice had her right foot pulled back, debating whether or not to just outright kick Lancelot hard in the shin and take off, she cups her hands together, with a pleading look, "Then let me come with you."

Had she really just said that? Was she really saying that? Would a night council member really hear her out? "Please. Let me talk to her. She isn't the only one who lost someone she loved horribly. Please let me find her. Please."

He blinks at the question, frowns at her.

"Of course, please do. She will more likely listen to you than she will me, Alice. I mean what I said. I only want to help, I have no intention of tormenting her. Do you... know where she might be?"

After all, it sounds as if they might be friends. If anyone would know her well enough to guess where she might be, surely it would be a friend?

please ping me if this doesn't work ;;

By now, the anger in Alice has settled. She runs it through her mind again, hoping that her memory issues hadn't erased it completely. Robin was so shaken, so upset, that her behavior before she left was growing odder and odder, asking questions-

"One moment." Alice dissolves back into her skittish self he'd seen before, rubbing her face, trying to remember. Remember harder! She strains herself, realizing that she could barely remember the day before.

Tears beaming in the corner of her eye, she remembered Robin was asking about the forests and Alice remarked why would anyone want to poke around that particular forest, because of fae.

"I- I remember!" She actually remembered something, in the midst of her stress, possibly because it seemed so odd and she nearly didn't think much of it, "She was asking about the forests, where the fae are. Oh, how I wish I remembered sooner! But she asked about those forests and it was so strange, she was not herself when she asked. I was wondering why she was asking about fae territory. Oh, I'm so sorry, I couldn't remember, but I remember now. I can lead you!"
