And eventually the posse is rounded…?

Hey, Dirk watches his weight!

But yeah he meets them when tthey're ready

Symon gives Dirk an upnod. “Brought Dags.” He says as though the troll isn't obvious.

"Noticed" Dirk looks up "Uhm..Dags he fill you in?"

"Evil bug. Brought Flyswatter."

"Yeah.. thanks, Dags. Me ? I thought it was a ravager.. might still be, indirrect like.. Symon's got some theories"

“I think it's either an independent chimera or a servant bringing someone glamour. If it's just a bug though, it’s a smart one. It goes back to the same dreamers over and over…”

"Like the bug is taking it to someone? Yeah..."

A nod to Dagmar.

“It’s not a bad concept, at the base. If you can't get out and about, or need to access dreamers you can't visit. If you had a critter that could glean glamour naturally. A butterfly, or a bee or hummingbird. Something that can drink without damaging, like they taste nectar….” He looks thoughtful.

“But this is clearly not that.” He quickly adds lest it seem he is sympathizing.

"Right. I just wannt to bite who ever is doing shit to Drake"

“I’ll try to get you a chance.” He looks around- were they able to sneak into the mall?

the signn says 'Employees only'

Written in SOLID print

so naturally they ignore it. Easy to bypass. Hecll, Symonn could open it with a credit card

He looks for a secure place once they get in, before letting Quetz slide down from his shoulders.

Quetz flickers itts tongue, then goes into hunter mode, almost invisible

"Okay.. I may nneve have said this, but I like the snake" Dirk admits

"He's pretty cool."

"Courrse, Scrrot would tear that bug in half" Dirk boasts

A snicker.

"Cats are pretty awesome hunters."

“I’d pay to watch that. Scrot vs. Lovecraft, more fair though.” He brings out the carefully packaged necklace.

“Quetz, can you get a sniff off this of the bug? Then lead us to where it hides?”

A flicker of a tongue then.. a hiss that sounds like yes

He strokes a finger down the scaled head fondly. “Get ‘em.”

And off it goes...

“I think Quetz can climb the walls if it's brick or not too smooth. I can follow him, or go up on any surface I can cling to. Watch for Paul Blart…”

He slinks after the snake.

Dirk looks at Dagmar "I wonnder which Loki he is? Classic Loki? He's not cool ennough to be the Alligator"

Symon shakes his head not responding…

"I think Prime. Maybe Ragnarok-era."

"He'd cut his fingers off on knives like that"

Snerk.

Symon meanwhile follows dat snake... and the snake has slithered into a shop, a book store

A glance at the wares, then he slips after him.

Symon should be proud of dagmar, because while she's outside the poritculous like barrier, she notices the glow coming from one of the books as soon as he does. Quetz curls about sniffing the air. The bug has flown around here a LOT

"Hey, that book." She points with her chin.

He raises a brow, but gives her an approving nod a they both look to the book at the same time. Symon checks the title before touching it.

'How To DO' it says...and, along the spine is a mosquito like emboss

And Quetz focuses on that and hisses

He listens for a long moment, trying to hear if there's any buzzing from or around the book.

It does buzz a bit, but more like the rustling of paper

He gets an idea and GRINS over to Dagmar.

Unzipping his backpack, he quickly knocks the book inside, then closes it! And gives it a SHAKE.

Brow

Backpack held out from the body, ready to drop it where it could be thumped if needed.

ANGRY buzzing, FURIOUS

And a needle like thing jabs through...

"Shit!"

Dirk says "Want me to eat it?"
