(Remy’s Hell No, Legion’s Gotta Go Protest Hunt)
[Mon Sep 22 2025]
In the Witch‘s Hut book nook/span
The moment you step through the squat arched wooden door, flanked by two fogged-glass windows trimmed in moss, the air shifts, warmer, spiced, and thick with the soft perfume of honeyed mushrooms and old paper. The hardwood floor, stained a deep walnut bark brown and creaking just enough to feel alive, is scattered with handwoven rugs in moody black. A small collection of velvet armchairs and mushroom-stem stools gather in cozy clusters around low tables carved from twisted tree roots.
From a shelf near the window, a tinny gramophone hums quietly with a loop of lofi music- slow piano and the occasional rustling wind- its horn painted in soft pink, gleaming subtly in the light of a single flickering lantern. Vines trail from the beams overhead, dotted with minty green bioluminescent fungi that glow just bright enough to read by.
A stack of well-loved books rests on the windowsill, spines cracked, pages leafed. In the corner, nestled in a tangle of dried chamomile and moss, is the rooms sole attendant: a long-eared barn owl. Their feathers are speckled like fallen ash, and they blink slowly as customers pass, as if judging them silently before going back to staring into the fireless hearth.
It is after dusk/span, about 65F(18C) degrees, and there are clear skies. The mist is heaviest At Panama and Sidney/span
There is a waxing crescent moon.
Jakem smirks “That’s not a bad thing. It’s something we can throw in the Order’s face if we’re feeling feisty.”
Jakem says “If it’s just us here, we can say whatever we want about what happened.“
Esme says “Big groups in tha mist is also generally fuckin’ awful“
Jakem says, with a galnce at his phone, “Oh, Teagan’s on her way.“
Esme looks down at her phone and then checks something and then nods to Jakem, “That ain’t too bad.”
Jakem says “Oh yeah, I guess I don’t know where we’re at. Though at least it’s in the vicinity.“
Jakem says “I’m still injured from yesterday, so I probably will be staying here.“
Jakem says “But Teagan’s coming armed.“
Esme says “Looks like he’s right around stop 7 maybe“
Esme says “Which…if we just head south I think we’ll find him“
Remy slips her hand into the outside slit of her harem pants toward her inside thigh. Then she draws out a wicked little karambit knife. “Who’s leadin’ our efforts then?” she asks, with her finger hooked through the loop of her knife to twirl it back and forth.
Jakem says “Esme and Eva are the most experienced I wager.“
Evalina cocks her head at Remy, “I was presuming you would.” She remarks with a blink. “I can if needed, but I am just as happy to follow.”
“Me too.” Esme muses to Evalina and then tches. “I can leads us there and Eva lead us back or somethin’?”
Jakem says “Good idea, keep it as confusing as possible.“
Esme snappoints to Jakem
Jakem says “Actually, don’t forget to have Remy lead you half way through, but only every other block.“
Evalina chuckles, “Works for me.” She tells Esme, “If we’re lucky someone will follow the wrong person and we all die.”
“We are doomed if I lead us. I’m directionally challenged,” Remy says, lifting her hands in a surrendering gesture with her knife hanging off her pinky.
Esme shakes her head, “If anyone dies it ain’t my fault.” She declares with a wry grin and then a laugh, moving toward the door. “Alright, let’s get this show on the road an’ just uh. If i say run, run I guess?”
Esme says “Oh wait we’ll wait for Teagan“
Jakem nods to Esme “I’ll be the guy in the chair.”
Esme says “Teagan what’s your eta?“
Jakem says “It’s detouring you around the mist.“
Jakem tosses a slimfit vest to Teagan.
Remy says “And now the dominos start…“
Esme smiles to Teagan, “Follow me when you’re ready. Jeremiah and…apparently Mercy.”
Teagan barely catches the vest in time with an “oof” but starts getting her way into it.
Jakem says “Oh, bring Mercy back here if you can! She knows who’s haunting the area. I need to get her statement.“
Esme nods to Jakem, “You got it.”
Jakem says “Yeah, no pressure. She’s probably got her own friends.“
Esme says “Okay -now- we’re off. “
Esme says “Okay. Eyes up. Ears open.“
Teagan considers, chewing on the inside of her cheek a bit. “I’ve got my laptop with me. If need be, I could trace Mercy on the go probably. But it’s expensive. Someone would owe me.”
Esme says “We won’t worry ’bout it just yet. We’ll see if we see ‘er first“
Jakem says “I already got a trace on her, I’ll get it to you when I hear back.“
Teagan bobs her head in a nod. “Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to let y’all know just in case it was needed. That’s something I can-” she looks back over her shoulder. “So Jak’s just… fucking off?”
Remy steps outside and looks around. “Should we ride somewhere closer?” she asks curiously.
Evalina nods towards Teagan, “He’s still hurt.”
Esme says “Hm…Eva was that Andalusian yours?“
Evalina shakes her head at Esme, “No. I drive the BMW i8. Ver ysafe car, should we end up needing one.”
“Oh, right.” Teagan wrinkles her nose. “I always think if someone’s not in the hospital, they’re fine. Uh, I have a car-” she points thataway.
“Every day I am not in the hospital is a good one,” Remy says as she walks along with the other ladies toward the mists.
Evalina says “I am fairly sure that the Andalusian is Remy’s actually..“
Remy says “Oh, yeah. That’s mine. Sorry. Why?“
Esme nods, “Okay I think this mist is pretty close in general but we’ll walk a little farther and if it’s not, we’ll arrange to bring the horses and Eva’s car closer I think. Just in case.”
Remy twirls her knife around like a fidget toy. One that has a razor’s edge and could probably cut her decently well if she mis-twirls it. “So weird living near a volcano like this,” she comments as the group continues.
“It’s always been a little weird,” Teagan agrees with Remy, trying to avoid even looking that way!
“People on Sicily think it’s normal, probably.” Evalina remarks casually. “Or in Indonesia. A lot of people live near volcanoes because they leave the ground very fertile.”
Esme nods to herself. “Yeah, at least it’s bright light all the time, hm?” She glances volcano ward and then looks toward Remy and Evalina. “Okay. Would you two mind doubling back and Remy come here to 11, Evan drive again to 10 and see if there’s mist there?”
Esme clears her throat. “Eva that is.”
“The world tree in the northern part of town too,” Remy points out to Teagan. “I could spend weeks going around seeing the sights here and not really take them all in,” she says in something resembling awe. She nods to Esme regarding the double back and says, “I can lead this one.”
Evalina says “I am being sex changed… and I can double back, not sure why Remy is needed though? I think my car can fit 1 rescue at least“
Evalina says “Be back“
Esme says “How’s it lookin’? “
Remy says “Eva’s south of here apparently.“
Esme says “Oh! Sorry, I don’t have my phone out “
Jakem says “Relic? Must be some kinda spices on that.“
Jakem hmms to Remy “I think we proved our point. Lookit the monster cowering in fear out there from our protest?” he says, pointing to the window.
Jakem nods to Jeremiah “I mean I didn’t do half as much as anyone else, but you’re welcome.”
Remy says “Heading off to the hospital with Jeremiah.“
Jeremiah touches a bluetooth earpiece.
Jeremiah says “Thanks for the assist. Sorry it was necessary.“
