[20:25] <Harlequin_J_Goat> When last we gathered – a terrible secret was discovered: that the King's trusted adviser might be the killer of a beloved member of the Summer Court. Now, as we join “The Maddening Gyre” – Kya, the youngest member of the clique is handed a serious and important assignment… [20:25] <Harlequin_J_Goat> “I'll be right there.” Azuma stands up and leaves after throwing down a couple of bills. [20:25] * Harlequin_J_Goat is now known as MdGy_St [20:27] * afan21 is now known as Julius [20:27] <MdGy_St> Brianne comes out, scratching the back of her neck and heads into the ktchen. “Jimmy, you said you got something for me.” [20:28] * @Kya waits at the car. [20:28] <MdGy_St> Britney comes charging in. “I'm sorry I'm –” [20:28] <MdGy_St> Gary waves the late watress down, putting a finger to his lips. [20:29] <MdGy_St> Britney nods and sneaks around to the counter. [20:30] <MdGy_St> “Oh, hey Brit – I didn't see you punch in.” [20:31] <MdGy_St> (Are you in Akuma's car?) [20:32] <@Kya> (Outside of it) [20:32] <MdGy_St> “Yeah – that thing's busted.” [20:33] <MdGy_St> Agent Akuma gets into his car. “I've got to take care of something not related to the case. I'm going to call Fiona and have her come here. Follow her home and check on her place. If you see anything weird, make a note of it and come back.” [20:34] <@Kya> “Um” [20:34] <MdGy_St> He turns the engine over and drives off, bringing his cell phone to his ear. [20:34] * @Kya looks confused and stands befuddled outside of the car. [20:34] <@Kya> “I wonder where he's going?” [20:34] * @Kya shrugs. [20:36] * Tolman (Tol@2f549ae7.dyn.f88a4073.net.hmsk) has joined #grovewood [20:36] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Tolman [20:36] <MdGy_St> Behind you, you head the padding of sneakers and the rattle of paper. [20:36] <MdGy_St> (You being Kya) [20:36] * @Kya turns to look. [20:37] <MdGy_St> The Sherrif of Grovewood is dumping the contents of a bright yellow packet into a can of brighter green energy drink. [20:38] <MdGy_St> “Ijustwannaknowwhatsgoingonwiththecaseandifyouneedanyhelpwithanythingsince you'vebeenoutofcontactwiththeothers.” [20:38] * @Kya looks at the man like he's some sort of freak. [20:39] <MdGy_St> (For those of you needing a picture – think of Grant Guston (Barry Allen from the show “The Flash”) [20:40] <MdGy_St> The Sherrif takes a drink and swirls around the contents of the can. [20:40] <MdGy_St> “Y'knowthisstuffisreallyblandwithoutsomesugar.Youwantasip?Shouldn'tgiveyouasipbecauseyou'reheartmightexplodeoutofyourchestlike*BLAM*.” [20:41] * @Kya looks at the can.

[20:46] <@Kya> “Um… I think thanks Mister?” [20:48] <MdGy_St> If he heard you, or waved – you can't tell. [20:51] <MdGy_St> Those of you in the tea shop see the Sherrif of Grovewood come in, looking around like a robin in a panic, and alighting in an empty chair next to you. [20:51] * @Kya sits outside for a bit, watching the shop from afar… remaining very still in case Fiona shows up. [20:52] <MdGy_St> “Hey,haveyoufoundanythingyet?

[20:56] <Julius> “I need you to speak slower.” [20:57] <MdGy_St> Jack takes a deep breath and frowns a little. “We…need…to…know…what…is…going…on.” [20:58] <Julius> “Well,it looks like Fiona is the culprit…also,what the news reported is troubling.” [20:58] <MdGy_St> You can see the effort for him to not speak at a pace that is not reserved for cokeheads or excited five year-olds.

Anything else, just yell for me. OK?” [21:18] <Julius> “Thanks.” [21:18] * Julius sips his tea [21:19] <@MdGy_St> As Jack Robin pecks at his salad…Kya sees a small car pull in behind the tea shop and out comes Fiona, looking tense as always as she drags on a cigarette. [21:20] <@MdGy_St> She takes a couple more drags on the cigarette, stomps it out and puts it in the trash. [21:22] <@MdGy_St> She sees the group sitting in the chairs “There you all are.

They're not reporting because there has been nothing so far to report other than the Brazen Head. The King is too overcome with grief – which you'd see if you attended court every once and a while – to have me pesteringly remind him of Crystal's death.” [21:27] <@MdGy_St> Jack Robin stabs his salad into his mouth like a bird fishing for worms. [21:28] * @Kya sneaks across the lot to Fiona's car. [21:29] <@MdGy_St> Fiona turns to Julius. “Speaking of which…did you find the maker of the Brazen Head?” [21:29] <Julius> [i dont remember,did we?] [21:29] <@Kya> (no) [21:29] <Julius> “No.” [21:31] <@MdGy_St> “All right – a step back, but we can work with that.

[21:36] <@MdGy_St> A fire seems to light behind Fiona's eyes. Her hair takes on a shimmer to it like asphalt on a July day. Her Mein is starting to show. [21:37] <@MdGy_St> “What. Did. You. Say?” [21:37] <@Ryu> (So my blantly ignoring her all this time seems to be working… *grins*) [21:37] <Julius> “The police,they have the head.” [21:37] <@Kya> (You're not there) [21:37] <@Ryu> (I'm aware.. :P) [21:38] <@MdGy_St> Her skin is turning red. She closes her eyes and takes a couple of deep breaths. [21:39] <@MdGy_St> Jack reaches into his jacket pocket and takes out a can of soda. “Need something cold?” [21:39] <@MdGy_St> “Shut. Fucking. Up.” [21:40] <@MdGy_St> Another deep breath in and out. Her skin is starting to come back to a regular pale flesh tone. [21:40] <@MdGy_St> Another deep breath in and out. Her skin is starting to come back to a regular pale flesh tone. [21:41] <@MdGy_St> “This is my fault in asking that it be kept in house.

Look, there is something going on here, and I need all of you to help. Find Crystal's fetch and either convince her to leave town or just get rid of her.” [21:44] <@MdGy_St> Like an opening blossom, the car trunk opens up for Kya. [21:44] * @Kya slips in and closes the trunk behind her. [21:44] <@Kya> (unless there are bodies or other icky things inside) [21:45] <Julius> [you find 70 bodies] [21:46] <@MdGy_St> She stands up, smoothing out her skirt. She looks down at The Sherrif – both in manner and mein – and tells him to tell the King to expect a report from her before sundown. [21:46] <@MdGy_St> [funny, I had her murdering sisty-nine people…] [21:46] <@MdGy_St> The Sherrif nods and waits for her to leave before flipping her off. [21:47] <@MdGy_St> “ifyouneedanythingfromme,justwhistlearobin'stuneandI'llhearyou.” He chugs the coffee down and lays a couple of bills on the table. [21:49] <@MdGy_St> Kya, you feel the door open and close. Before the engine revs up, you hear Fiona yell several harsh words and thumping something *hard*. [21:49] <Julius> [i seem to have upset her] [21:50] <@Ryu> (I blantly ignored her from the start and never even tried to keep it in house) [21:50] <@MdGy_St> The Sherrif – Jack Robin – takes off like a hummingbird launched by an aircraft carrier's catapult. [21:50] <@MdGy_St> (We know) [21:51] <@MdGy_St> The engine revs once and you start moving forward. Music comes on, loud enough for you to hear. [21:53] <@MdGy_St> She gets on the Interstate while talking to someone about a deal coming up on some land. [21:53] * @Kya remains very quiet in the trunk [21:53] * @Kya also texts Julius on her location. [21:54] <@MdGy_St> (Julius – your phone buzzes) [21:54] * Julius looks at his phone [21:55] <@MdGy_St> “In trunk of Fiona's car – Kya” [21:55] * Julius sighs [21:55] * Julius replies “Let me know if you need assistance.” [21:56] <@Kya> Text: “OK” [21:59] * @Kya waits, and listens. [21:59] <@MdGy_St> (I just seel Julius sipping his tea as the phone goes off. We see Kya's message with some cutesy emoji attached to it.

Two floors with windows that line up vertically on four places. the interior is carpeted in a brown-green short shag that's seen more weather than should be allowed.

[23:05] <@MdGy_St> By hte way she's going on one way to another, you can tell that she's speeding and driving like a maniac. [23:05] <@MdGy_St> (in other words – she's blending in with other Floridians) [23:05] * @Kya feels like she's getting beaten by her abusive father. [23:06] <@Kya> Text: “She's mad.” [23:06] <@MdGy_St> The car comes to a coasting slowdown and a gentle turn. [23:07] <@MdGy_St> “Keep looking the other way…that's it…don't turn–Fuck!” [23:08] <@MdGy_St> The car keeps on it's civil speed. [23:08] <@Kya> Text: “What does fa-uck mean?” [23:09] <@MdGy_St> “Get off my ass…get off my ass…get off my ass…” [23:09] <Julius> “That's a bad word and you shouldn't say it.” [23:09] <@Kya> “She said it.” [23:09] <@MdGy_St> (There is a list of bad words that Fiona is using like a check list) [23:10] <@Kya> “She is also saying ass” [23:10] <@Kya> “She likes ass” [23:10] <@MdGy_St> “Get off my ass…get off my ass…getof my – Thank you, Jesus.” [23:11] <@Kya> “I think jesus was on her ass” [23:11] * Julius laughs in the coffee shop [23:11] <@MdGy_St> She immedately speeds up back to qualifying at Darlington. [23:11] <Julius> “That's another bad word.” [23:11] <@Kya> “Oh” [23:11] <@MdGy_St> “That's what I like to hear.” Brianne stops by with a refill of tea. “Where's Kya?” [23:13] <@MdGy_St> The car comes to a screeching halt. the engine comes off and half a second later you hear the door open but not close. [23:13] <Julius> “Still busy.” [23:13] <@Kya> (You need to learn how to lie better. I'll give you a lesson later.) [23:15] <@MdGy_St> “OK – if you happen to see her, tell I'd like to talk to her in my office. She's not in danger of losin' her muffins and cocoa priveliges, I just want to make sure she's OK.” [23:15] <@Kya> (Uh oh!) [23:16] <Shaddow> (night all) [23:16] <@MdGy_St> (night!) [23:16] * Shaddow (me@a55580.14055af4.206.128.imsk) Quit (Quit: “To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.” L.V.B.) [23:16] * TolBot waves goodbye to Shaddow [23:16] <@Kya> (Night Shaddow. Make up that character) [23:16] <@MdGy_St> (Actually – this is a good place to stop for the evening.) [23:17] <Julius> “Oh, she's fine, just doing something for Akuma.” [23:19] <@MdGy_St> as Kya gets a front row seat to a woman loosing her final tether of sanity and Julius develops a taste for chammoile, this epsiode of “The Maddening Gyre” comes to a close. Be here in two weeks when we can hear this phrase: “I know there's a twelve year-old in my trunk, but there is a perfectly good, non-offender's list reason.”
