"Double whammy Chrysalis down on 5th and Vine. Shit's popping up all over. Could use a hand."

"CHIEF! We got a twofer!!" And the cap races after the Chief to tell her "5th and Vine. Shit everywhere. I bet it's Symon's fuck up"

"Come with me," she leads him to the Jeep, and off they go.

"Well I know, and I still don't care, you're always getting into trouble. You really worry mom, you know that right? You greesy bag of dicks. Don't get hurt until we're there to rescue them and you"

And she does not focus on Dirk's language.

*****'

"Holy shit this place is awesome..." Audrey looks about

"Nice" Lies can come in the form of understatement, and Nolan uses that

Symon staggers into the kitchen, not his usual to go place, but maybe he can find help.. or better yet a new baby sitter

Kerri is there, pulling some loaves out of the oven, freshly baked.

Symon taps her on the shoulder and might whisper soemthing like 'New fledges, two of them. We got them to safety but they stole the chief's vehicle to get here.. I had to come along. Tag. You're it. I quit" and he keeps walking past and out he kitchen door

She turns, startling slightly at the tap. "Oh! Symon..." And then she blinks as he departs. "Well, then..." She heads out into the main hall to see these two new arrivals.

"Do not panic" A female voice can be heard.. "Nolan.. do not panic..."

"Hello! Welcome to Rivervale. I am Kerri." She smiles, and she can't help but enjoy the wash of fresh glamour.

There's a porcupine with a drape caught in his quills... and he's tugging wildly , about to panic. PRobably his first change

"Hey, sorry, Nolan turned into a porcupine!" The girl says this as if stunned it happened

Clurichaun and pooka, clearly, the latter of which about to destroy a curtain

The glamour off them is strong, and speaks of release at least, like a good stretch of the body after having to bend over .. that kind of thing. And.. coffee? They smell a bit like coffee

"Oh! Ah, well... Nolan, take a deep breath, you'll be able to change back in a moment." then to the Clurichaun she says, "You and I must turn away and not look at him. He won't be able to, otherwise."

She demonstrates.

"Are you serious?" But..well, Kerri IS persuasive, so the girl does, "Hope this works. If anything happens to Nolan after tonight I..."

A RIP Sound.. and "those were out of style anyway"

"I'm Audrey, " Says the girl voile bit punk, a bit biker, and a lot leprechaun... well, Clurichaun. She has a green hat with a skull design

Nolan rolls this is feet. Perhapsh e had 'spikey hair' before

because it really is now

Kerri sighs, but she knows they can be mended. She turns to look at him. "Don't worry about those, Nolan. And hello, Audrey." A kind smile.

"Where's the ungrateful dead guy?" Nolan asks looking about for Symon

"Hey" Audrey says on her guard

"Oh, Symon left. He seemed a bit worn out. Come...do you want something to eat or drink?"

"My usual scotch on the rocks" THe teenage boy nods "Thanks"

"Will coffee do? Or soda? Also have some lemonade."

"Coffee's great, " Audrey says "I Keep expecting to wake up. But I'm gonna bep issed if I do"

Kerri will see these two are prickly in one way or naother about authority, but respond well to kindness towards the other. Be nice to Nolon, Audrey relaxes. Be nice to Audrey, Nolan behaves better. But Audrey's ready for a fight.. and it's hard to tell against who. SOmething scared her tohnight

but she's relaxing now

Kerri grins at what Audrey says. "I remember that feeling, though it was long ago for me. Here...." and she introduces them to the Lodge's coffee station. "Now, this is Rivervale Lodge, and that is our balefire. There are some things you'll need to know about it, and about why it's important to us and to you...."

And herein begins the first lesson.
