"Thank you." dryly.

"Well. Arrangements to Alabama then. We'll need to buy information."

"Contacts, and use that gossip chain you boggans have..." She says "Also, the proper way to suck an egg..."

Clearly the farm folk of the DeBukes have corrupted her city gal

"I do not plan on sucking anything on this trip."

"Oh darn it, that was pithy and humorous of me" More seirously "She'll be fine, honey. We'll see to that"

He pats her hand and kisses her, then stands. "I should take care of things. The poor girl has probably already lost her enchantment."

"If she hasn't, she will soon" A nod

Then she kisses him back

So off he goes to lay some lines in the water, put his ear to the rails, and otherwise work the boggan network. Also, figure out travel arrangements, lodging, so on.

the boggan net work does its thing "Great Sausages there... but a lot of poverty. It's one of the poorest areas in Alabama, which means in Concordia. "

Another sources more on the nature of the fae side "Yes, Eiluned lord, a wilder. Rose to power recently. HE was former chancellior, but his former liege was lost in the trods when things snapped awhile back and so he filled the vaccuum"

Anything on the other names? K-Kray? Collin Larkman? Or the prison, Conecuh County?

K-Kray is a redcap. Worked with Alex(Sp?) on some missions.

Larkman is overowrked, merely mortal, not likely to put up a fight

OOC Alexis is....?

OOC: I believe your redcap 🙂

OOC I may have gotten the name wrong

OOC Just wanted to be sure we were thinking of the same person.

The prison is , like most prisons, a bit on the banal side but not deadly. No reports of guards abusing the women's side, but it is known for putting its detainees to work. Sometimes farm labor on the cheap

That gives him some ideas about where to look for the redcap. He can find some help for Larkman. But leverage on the elf to force him to release May?

Now that is a problem, he may not have the time to get personal dirt on the baron by boggan gossip chain.

And really, he has no ground-work laid.

Not the first time he's had this come up. mmm godfather quotes come to mind

There are sluagh in the area. But they can charge deep.

Still, something to be kept in reserve. He thinks.

A quick search gives him some news about methbusts in the area, pharmacies and more. Given his own chemical skills, that means potential supplies

A good hardware store does too.

Going undercover in the court? Possible, certainly....

Mmm now that gives him a hook. Apparently there's a hardware store that's not a franchise. Signs indicate it might be kithain owned.

Tricky. They might be loyalists.

Aye. Too many people are

Still, it's something to remember.

A day and a half drive.... four hour flights....

Mmm a train? Less sensible but an option

No direct runs, though; it would take longer to get there by a long shot.

And the bus is right out; they call it GREYhound for a reason.

He's rather PARACHUTE In than that

Very much so.

"Callidora?" he gathers his notes and seeks her out.

"Hello, darling." SHe says

He shares what he's learned and asks "How do you wish to travel?"

"First, good option nixing greyhound. " She approves "I had to take those when I was younger. " She shivers "i suggest a flight, then a switch to a rental car for the last part? Possibly under different identities. It maybe overly cautious, but better over than under?"

"Excellent. I'll make the arrangements. Do you have any thoughts about the rest?"

'not so much" She confesses "But I did contact that Eshu. SHe's been to the area. "

"Will you share with me?"

"oh, of course. Turns out this fellow is new, I suspect you heard that.. the thing is, he's been pretending to be a force of reform before, and now that he's in charge, all traditionalist."
