"I can, but I think I might lurk around the city for a little while," Kara said, shrugging. "I mean, this place looks like a total mess. Who knows what I could find."
"Probably not the craziest thing we've done," Mallory pointed out. "Be glad you weren't around for everything closer to the city. That... was intense."

"Buy me a soda," comments Tanner, shutting his eyes and grimacing a bit.
"I'm beginning to think this isn't a group I should be associating myself with." It was unclear whether this was a joke or not, but Yaoh was smiling. "It probably isn't," adds Guy softly.

"Pretty sure that's a joke, but honestly, I'm broke, and stealing shit would be such a hassle," Kara replied. "I mean, I feel like half the people in town are just itching for a fight, y'know? It's a vibe I get."
"Things have been pretty morally ambiguous," Mallory allowed. "Plus, like, three or four people have died." "Not like we killed them," Hazel said quietly. "We got them killed, though. It could, if you looked at it a certain way... be our fault."

"Not a joke. Buy me a soda," repeats Tanner. He tried to add something else, but just made a hissing sound. As the sun went down, his sharp teeth grew visible longer, and he turned his gaze back towards Kara, tugging the handcuffs against the tree.
"As a doctor, I feel that way about lots of things." Guy was sitting nearby, arms wrapped around his knees. He smiles and shrugs a bit. "It's best to remind yourself that it usually isn't your fault. You shouldn't look at it in that certain way. Most of the time it isn't your fault." His words seemed hollow - he himself barely believed what he was saying.

"Aaaaalrighty," Kara replied, laughing nervously. "I didn't know vampires could drink soda. But I can try to steal some. You, ah, partial to any brands?" What the hell was she doing, exactly?
"Usually isn't," Mallory repeated. "I don't think we straight-up murdered anyone. Everything's just... kind of a mess." King nodded. "The term 'a mess' sums up all of this quite nicely. I do think, though, if it helps, we can just blame everything on Talos. He'd be a rather justified scapegoat." "But he's dead, which makes it less satisfying to blame him," Clovis grumbled. "Dead, or dying in the middle of that stupid desert." "Unless he rebuilt the door and got out," Topaz said quietly. "Then he'd be alive." It didn't seem likely, especially considering the sorry state he'd been in, but it was still a possibility.

Tanner pulls against the chains again, gently but insistently. Suddenly and in contract, Declan jerks violently against his own handcuffs, grunting. Seems it was too late to carry on a conversation with either of them.
"If he's alive I'm gonna kill him," Jess comments. "I miss my goddamn jacket. It was nicer than this one and I'm pissed. I support making him our scapegoat." "Apparently I underestimated the scale of how much you guys have been doing recently," muses Yaoh.

"I'm totally getting you a shitty soda brand," Kara muttered. How had her life come to this? She headed off, presumably to commit petty theft.
"Well, I wouldn't say we've been doing a lot," Hazel said. "We've been... wrapped up in a lot. Yeah. Wrapped up in a big ol' mess caused by Talos."

"Someday I wanna go back there and dig his corpse out of that worm and kick his ass. The worm didn't kick it enough," Jess says. "It's not at the top of my butts-to-kick to-do list but it's definitely up there."

"I just hope it's only a corpse," Topaz mumbled. "The kid was mostly talk," Clovis assured her. "He definitely wouldn't last out there, not for a second. He probably died before we were gone, honestly. Besides, we're already waiting on one ass to kick, let's not get ahead of ourselves."

"Top off the ass-kicking to-do list," confirms Jess. "I think it might take a while. Everyone should go to sleep, or at least pretend to be asleep. Don't want to scare them off before they even come in. Hence, the door is locked."

"This'll be interesting," Topaz said, curling up in one of the beds. "So, d'we just take them by surprise once they realize the door's locked?" "Not much else to do, I guess," Mallory replied. "Not like they're going to have a way out."

"Trapping them inside is what the magic by the door is for. We keep the door locked so it doesn't seem suspicious, and because keeping the door locked in generally a pretty good idea," clarifies Jess. "Just... you'll see, okay? Don't get in the way. I'll handle this." "We," corrects Yaoh. "You can go fuck yourself. You know what I mean."

"What if you end up..." Mallory trailed off. Jess didn't really die, did she? "Incapitated? We can step in if something like that happens, right?" She just wanted to get this over with. "If things go wrong, I think all of us ganging up on them would be the rational thing to do," Clovis said. "But, y'know, not unless things really go to shit. For now, let's just see what happens, y'know?" "This is totaly gonna go to shit," Augustus muttered.

"Yeah, 'course," shrugs Jess. "Now everyone settle down. Nothing to do now but rest and wait." Guy fidgets a bit and nods in quiet agreement.

And so, they waited. Some people dozed off with no trouble, others were kept awake by their own nerves, or maybe the absurdity of the situation. They were just waiting and hoping for their tailer to show up, now. And of course, some were actually a bit more excited than they probably should have been. "Maybe all their powers are for sneaking around, and they can't actually fight that well," Topaz said quietly, trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
