 ==== Violence & Ghost-Raccoons ====
-On the roof of the asylum [[wod:hunter:pcs:william|William]], [[wod:characters:abby|Abby]], [[wod:hunter:pcs:anita|Anita]], [[wod:characters:black]], [[wod:characters:hawk]], and the unknown man survey the scene below them. Most of the inhabitants are manning the defensive walls, and the [[wod:characters:breckenridge|Queen of Ice and Blood]] is lumbering across the open central square to join them. They spot the Latino [[wod:characters:icecaptain|captain of the guard]] who looks up and sees them; the expression on his face clearly telegraphs, //"Oh these assholes again."// [[wod:characters:jordan|Jordan Mendez]] also spots them up there and waves happily to Anita. He then looks confused as he realizes she's not supposed to be here! Anita looks out at the army of the dead gathered before them but also spots some movement behind a large pile of rubble. She idly wonders, "Was that a ghost-raccoon?"

 William sees Leta hiding behind the rubble, as does Silas Black. The hunters realize that Silas's eyes are now glowing blue while Sadie's eyes are glowing red as she examines the army below. The unknown man has eyes that are solid black as he also looks around to examine the scene; he then notices William's scrutiny and gives him a mocking salute. Sadie Hawk growls, "What the fuck are we doing here?" Anita, Abby, and William remain silent but the unknown man replies, "We're here to help, and I'm betting we're not going to be able to rescue Mr. Troy the Younger without violence, and violence is what you're good at." William and Anita nod in agreement, noting his faint Spanish accent and flawless enunciation. The unknown man continues, "Look around you. What do you see? What do you smell? More importantly what do you //not// see? What do you not smell or hear?"

 ==== Extraction via Inspector Gadget ====
-Silas Black turns to Sadie Hawk and says, "This is your area of expertise. What do we do?" Sadie looks out again, clearly assessing the situation. She murmurs to herself and moves her hands as she mentally catalogs the situation; William has a flash of //déjà vu// as he recalls a sergeant from the Korean war that did the same thing. Sadie turns back and asks William, "Your friend Leta and the rat?" William nods so she then turns to the unknown man and says, "[[wod:characters:bubba|Benjamin]], find out if she wants an extraction." Benjamin nods and then whispers, "Miss Mackenzie, do you want an extraction?" Down by the rubble, Leta hears an unknown, accented voice ask, //"Miss Mackenzie, do you want an extraction?"// She cries out, "What the fuck?"

The voice asks again, //"Do you want an extraction?"// Leta retorts, "No, I just came down here and I'm comfortable." Clearly ignoring the sarcasm, the voice continues, //"Do you get airsick?"// Leta replies slowly, "No?" The same voice replies, //"Very well, I will send Mr. Black to your location."//  Leta replies, "Wait, what?"

 ==== "Get Josh, go home, and make julienne fries." ====
-Leta looks up to see Silas Black soaring through the air towards her, and she mutters, "What the fuck //is// he?" She watches as Black soars over the army of the dead, clearly angling to catch her. Realizing this is her best shot, she scrambles forward and leaps into the air, allowing Black to catch her! As they soar up into the sky, Silas Black growls to her, "If you throw up on me, I will drop you!" Leta replies, "Don't worry, I'm in awe of this new ability of yours!" Silas Black does not reply, but flies to the to the roof and lands with surprising gentleness. Leta looks up at him and says, "Silas Black, you're my hero!" Black growls but Sadie Hawk laughs uproariously. Leta adds, "Just think, a week ago you wanted to kill me!" Silas Black snaps, "I still do!" Leta reaches up and pats him on the shoulder while William explains, "She's hard to get rid of." Anita stares at Silas Black and demands, "Wings? Were they issued when you became a businessman?" Black retorts, "That depends on the business school one attends."

 Leta tells Silas Black, "There are so many questions swirling. Can you make julienne fries with that sword? Slicing and dicing?" Silas Black looks annoyed, but replies, "Yes, I can make julienne fries." Leta says brightly, "Great! So, we go get Josh, get out of here, and you can make us fries!" Silas Black demands, "And how do we do that?" William asks, "Can you get Josh the same way you got Leta?" Silas Black shakes his head and says, "Not easily. I'd be alone against who knows what down there." William reluctantly concedes the point.

 Leta charges forward to attack the fallen ghost but Silas Black whips around and catches her fist before she can connect. Leta kicks at the fallen ghost ineffectually while Veltis hesitates, but both do recognize the ghost's face. Peter Troy looks confused and calls out, "Serena! Where is Serena? She was just here! Wait, where am I?" Leta explodes and screams at him, "You just nailed your son to a fucking cross! You tried to invade your wife's city! What the fuck do you think you were doing?" Peter looks over and sees not only his son Josh, but his father William. He then starts to scream as his actions register.
-All around them the ghosts suddenly start pulling the masks free of their heads now that the outside control is gone. Silas Black releases Leta at her insistence, while Abby limps over. She announces, "He was a Reaper! Ghosts who put on death masks become Reapers and they don't remember what they were doing while they were masked." As the masks fall free and the living start crying out, Leta makes the connection. She realizes this is the unit of Alabama National Guard that was guarding Shelburne Falls, the unit that they heard but never saw. The soldiers and their support staff stagger about desperately trying to get their bearings, but most have descended into insanity. Anita eyes them warily but then recognizes several other figures in the army, ghosts from the hallway! She spots [[wod:characters:madam|the Madame]] and a few other familiar faces and tells the others.

 Leta hisses, "They're from the hallway that Sethic cleared out?" Anita nods and Leta continues, "This was Sethic's doing and we need to find cover. We're exposed out here and we just broke a True Fae's toys." Anita swears in rapid-fire Spanish but growls, "Should we try to get back into the River City?" The hunters look up to the walls and they see the Queen of Ice and Blood finally stagger to the top of the defensive wall. She calls out slowly, "What is happening?" Leta chirps, "The war's over, can we come in?" She feels the Queen's icy stare but then the Queen gestures and the gates start to grind open. The hunters limp down from the outcropping, and Anita starts rounding up the hallway ghosts. Sadie Hawk carries Peter Troy, while Silas Black helps Abby. They then stagger towards the opening gate, all the while trying to rally and gather the unwilling soldiers, living and dead.
