[20:14] <@BradGM> +++1232Hours- Sibellus Time++
[20:14] <@BradGM> +++ After a decent rest interrupted by a starting Demon, Mockingbird went right to work onto interrogating Loxx concerning Muty, the Gloom Haunt, the massacred people at the Hotel Hellstrom and finally, the Beast House. 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 House’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. .+++
