Sylvi turns to her. "I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, Eden, but...I think this isn't just about you. I think this is bigger. I'm betting they're hurting more mortals and fae than just you. But you've led us to them, and that means you're helping fix things."

She smiles a bit at that, "I guess you know..when you're a minor villain at best heroes are... like, intimidating"

Gerd and Dagmar reappear

"She didn't zork on teh return trip, or even Korz" Eden notices

"Whoa!" Sylvi yelps as the car bounces with added weight of troll in armor.

"My poor car"

Siv says "oh wait, it's reinforced for trolls. Darn dad's smart" A wink "Welcome aboard, Dagmar"

"Hey, Dagmar. We've got a situation."

She explains the basics of the situation.

"So.... conversion therapy slash troubled teens camps?"

"Those places are bad news."

"Yeah. Like I said to Siv...major gray. I was thinking, maybe we enlist Adam as a wingman to somebody to go in and look around? But he's your project, so I didn't want to just assume...."

"Sorry, Dagmar. I guess you don't need the armor on this" Gerd blushes

"Oh, you never know...the armor might help."

"Well, if I wyrd..."

"So, what? We go get Adam?"

"We shoulds scout out the edges maybe" Gerd says

Sylvi thinks about it, then nods. "Let's. Siv stays in the car. I'll go to the north. Eden, you do south. Dagmar, east. Gerd, west. Make sense?"

"...Your parents sending you here, Eden? Shit. This place feels awful, and I've known some survivors... they don't keep kids whose parents won't pay, most times..."

"Yeah, sure."

Eden hisses, for she has already turned into a snake...

Siv nods "Wheelman... okay. Important job"

Sylvi turns around to look at Eden. "Good thinking. Okay. Don't go direct. Scatter to neighboring properties if you can. Siv, keep the car here so Gerd knows where to pop to if she needs to get out quick. Ready?"

Gerd says "Ready"//A positive snake headbob

Siv "mmph stayinplace. "

"East." A solid nod, serious business.

"Sorry," she says to Siv, then nods to the others. "Go."

And she's out of the car, heading to the property north of the compound.

And they split up..each going to their destination... the cameras aren't hard to spot, but slipping past them might be tricky

Gerd may be the Wayfare queen, but Sylvi can Hopscotch pretty well to evade the cameras. Of course...that might be tricky this close to so much banality.

Sylvi dips , dives, and dodges

Dagmar draws on her experience as Sam.... evading the cameras, foiling fosters... not so different. These things are clunky

Sylvi goes north... close to the chapel area...

She pauses now and then to listen carefully, and to make sure she's not making too steady a walking pattern that others might notice.

"I don't want to drink it, it makes me..goofy" A boy's voice

"Now now, it's the body and blood of Christ..." an insisting older voice

She stops. She looks to see if there's a camera or a gap in the wall she can peer through.

She's got to time the camera right... but yeah... closer. the fence is got links.

But to peer through? She's got to climb the fence.

If only she were like a strong cheerleader type?

Oh wait.

A strong cheerleader type who also just happens to know Veiled Eyes. If she Wyrds it...it might help. She crouches down, presses her fingers into the dirt of the ground, then dots them above and below her eyes, like dark sequins on an invisible veil. She feeds the cantrip a bit more oomph for Wyrd...and then she starts to climb.

And ignored she is..

able to watch as a 9 year old boy has a cup pressed again his lips

She's careful not to get too high over the edge of the fence.

And she wishes she had Legerdemain to knock the cup away. Who is giving it to him?

A conservatively dressed man.

Frowning, she battles with herself....but chooses not to intervene this time. If she tried to Hopscotch the cup, the man would blame the boy and punish him.

He is not alone, there's a bruiser fellow in a T shirt , clean crew cut, the logo of the plance on it
