we are convenient to major metropolises

[cross_and_bow]

This vampire nest was supposed to have six vampires in it. This trip to L.A. was supposed to involve this nest as the first stop of several. This time Sherlock's information is imperfect.

[Fuck,] says Bella, after having burst through the door, masked and armed with her stake, [they're having all their friends over today - help -]

Comments

"I can, if you prefer, although I can only tell her the part I saw."

[eversomuchfun]

"I would appreciate it."

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan turns the corner. "Hallo, Your Majesty and extradimensional friend of the template," he says. "You realize just because Shell Bell can door to Downside now doesn't mean I can?"

[luminous_regnant]

"I realize. Please make the attempt regardless. Shell Bell is not present."

[temporal_affairs]

"You got it." He ushers them out of his way and tries three times, getting Aurum each time, before on his fourth try he makes the door reveal Shell Bell's cluttered apartment. "Here we are. Downside."

[luminous_regnant]

"Thank you. Hold the door until further notice." Golden looks at Sherlock. "Do you want to accompany me?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Yes."

[luminous_regnant]

Golden turns them both invisible, leads him through, and attempts to teleport the pair to Juliet, should there be a Juliet.

[cross_and_bow]

There is a Juliet.

[luminous_regnant]

Since there's no one awake around, Golden simply wishes her awake and out of the catacomb.

[cross_and_bow]

"- wh - where -"

[eversomuchfun]

Sherlock hugs Juliet.

"Turns out there's an afterlife," he says succinctly. "Shall we leave it?"

[cross_and_bow]

"...An afterlife? But didn't you turn me? Did it not work? Did someone stake me before I could rise?" She blinks at Golden. "...Golden, what are you doing here?"

[luminous_regnant]

"I'm your escort. We should go back to Milliways, by the way. There aren't enough of us collected in one spot yet to launch an assault on this place."

[eversomuchfun]

"Yes, do let's get out of here."

[cross_and_bow]

"...Wait, but didn't you turn me, if I'm here too or instead mightn't there be one of you, Sherlock?"

[eversomuchfun]

"...ah," he says. "Point. And if it's as bad as has been implied, I do feel compelled to rescue him."

[luminous_regnant]

"Well, I don't know whether to expect him to be awake or still in pre-processing like Juliet, but Shell Bell's tale of woe was an utter disaster," says Golden. "Do let's."

Port, wish.

[bitofafiction]

The first words out of his mouth are, "Where's Tony?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Also dead," says Sherlock, "come to think of it. We are accumulating quite the entourage."

[luminous_regnant]

"Well, let's collect him, too, then," shrugs Golden. And she teleports them all again and wishes again.

[toblameforit]

He immediately clings to the nearest Sherlock.

[eversomuchfun]

"And now," says the nearest Sherlock, patting him on the back, "we can leave."

[bitofafiction]

"Tony's parents," says the other Sherlock. "And I do honestly believe we can stop there."

[luminous_regnant]

"Can we really, or do they also have an assortment of dead friends and relatives? We can check that they have not yet been woken, but really, if they haven't, this is getting absurd. We are going to take care of this entire place, we just need more of us to do it, and before we are ready we had best not attract attention from the nebulously defined 'management'."
