CHINESE WHISPERS (CATCH-ALL PLOT)
Lillian needs to suppress a scream as she steps out of the portal and into Croydon. She snaps the portal shut behind her with more force than needed, the only thing she could do in the wake of the appointment she had with Quercus, the Oak King, and Merilineth, the Queen of the Green Wood. It was none of their concern their own subjects were being captured and enslaved? It wasn't interesting enough to intervene?
Don't they get how dangerous this is? How this could reach out beyond London if the ambitions were left unchecked? The idea of more witches being encouraged by what's happening here in London and trying to replicate it for themselves in their own lands made her stomach churn in discomfort and anger for the fae. The idea others trying to do this against their enemies in general, trying to justify this under a disguise of 'progress' and 'advancement', almost made her breathless in disgust.
For individuals who insists their goals were to keep things in balance, they-
She stays her thoughts since it wasn't right to doubt her Royals and she reminds herself that it could been much worse. They hadn't said no outright. Merely ordered her to watch over this and maybe they were right in that aspect. She couldn't sit out for too long. Not after what happened to her and the others at that centre. If she could show them London was worth looking after maybe they'll be willing to do something.
How? She isn't sure yet but she's willing to start small. Make allies, stop troubles, gather resources. There's a good place to start too-
Before Gregory left, he warned her of a string of incidents happening over at Redbridge and Waltham Forest. Some people disappearing, some people being assualted or killed in supposed muggings gone wrong. Not enough to gain attention from everyone but enough to have people whispering their concerns to their closest friends and their friends whispering it to their closest friends.
Sounds like something that could be useful. Or not. Either way she had to check it out.

[ backdated during scandal week 2017. the catch-all post for the plot regarding the string of vampire assaults! information about this post can be found here and top-levels for the mentioned events/steps to this plot can be found in here. if you'd like to have a closed thread related to this, let me know! ]

And what task is that?

she explains that she's been investing a series of assaults and disappearances that's been occurring over redbridge and waltham forest. so she doesn't outright say it, she does heavily imply it's the work of a rogue vampire. it'll explain why it's happening at east end territories and why individuals like tandra hahn were targeted. vampires and werewolves never did get along.
the recent tensions hasn't been helping matters. ] -and I wish to get rid of it quietly as possible. I was hoping to do it by tomorrow evening, before the media catches wind of this, but I'm short on some… special supplies.
It's why I came to you. I was hoping you could please point me to the right direction. [ she knows better than to drag him into this should anything unfortunate happen. ] I wouldn't bother you if I could since I know you're so busy with what's been happening but time is of the essence.
no subject
I know a few decent suppliers. [He pulls out his phone to scroll through his contacts.] You'll be wanting wooden ammunition, right?
no subject
R-Really? You'll help me? [ just like that? no need to haggle or negotiate terms or reach an agreement?
this is new for her. she's become so used to paying tribute or debt to higher ranked fae that she already drawn out the plans to make him a special article of clothing. how strange this week has been for her. ] -Thank you. Thank you so much.
no subject
[Plus? He's kinda curious to see what it is she's capable of.]
I might call on you to repay the favour later, but it's in both of our interests to see this done well, isn't it?
[He smiles, looking up at her from his phone with a raised eyebrow.] Besides, I didn't get you away from those witches just to see you get eaten by a vampire a few weeks later.
