While nothing seems to shake the ganger in her boots, the mention of the Beast House is something else all together. [20:14] <@BradGM> Loxx was genuinely scared of the organisation, admitting her suspicions that the kidnapped persons Muty hired her were for the Houseâ€™s purposes. She preferred to get in the ranks than to bring the wrath of the Beast House on her head and her gang. [20:15] <@BradGM> In fact, she was more scared than the pict of the Gloom Haunt, thinking it was just some guy in a funny-looking rubber suit; she nonetheless agreed to act as bait to capture the vigilante, the trap location being a Firechild-controlled area, not too deep in thier territory to be without support, but far enough to be unsuspicious. [20:15] <@BradGM> While Jon and Lyra geared up, Grendel and Mira gathered a miniature tracking device the Tech-Priest injected into Loxx, while Mira got a Vox-Caster, preferring to remains behind and overseer the operation without risking being yet again taken out of combat a third time within the period of 24 hours. .+++ [20:15] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:15]  ((Slacker)) [20:15]  (( Psh )) [20:16] <@BradGM> **Loxx is wathcing the lot of you, especially Jon who now emanates an aura visibly not to the ganger'S liking.** [20:16] <@BradGM> Loxx "So, you bugged me, then what?"
