Town Hall, Thursday Morning

[fjordicswagger]

"Can anybody tell me anything more about what's going on here?"

Tamsin didn't just call town hall meetings twice in a row for fun, you know. ... Okay, maybe a little. Just to watch the anti-social ones scramble. Whatever. She crossed her arms, surveying the crowd.

"Anyone from the recon team? Anyone who's been sticking their faces in books for the past few days? What are these things, what's happening with the bitey, and who do we need to punch to get out of this mess?" Beat. "Chop chop."

... It was bound to be another informative meeting.

"And, hey," Summer offered encouragingly, "if it works for you, it works for you. It sounds like you were able to hold your own pretty well out there, and that's what counts."

She, meanwhile, just felt like it wasn't really vampire hunting without the stakes.

"It was so cool!" Mae said. "I was all 'Yaaauughhh, die!' and they were all 'OMGWTF' and they were totally too chicken to jump off the roof after me."

Mae was a terrible storyteller.

And Summer was super convinced that that was totally exactly how it happened. Although, really, the radio notes that morning didn't refute that it could have, so there was that.

"I'll have to keep that in mind," she said, "if I'm having trouble. Just jump off the roof, maybe find a bat."

Yeah, no, she had a blaster. And she knew what she could do with a blaster, too.

As far as the vampires could tell, Mae was a walking bad omen. Who went running at them screaming.

Honestly, anyone would probably have been at least a little put off by it.

"And aim for the kneecaps."

Kneecapping both incapacitated most things and didn't usually result in bloody drama that could potentially trigger latent traumas! Win-win!
