[Counter to her last post, Mary is calm, composed, put-together, an iron look of determination in her eyes.]

If you've called someone and gotten their voicemail in the past three days, you need to comment here and tell me who it was.

I don't care if you think they got sent home, if they have an alibi, if they're supposed to be on a week-long vision quest, I don't care. If there's someone, anyone who you can't get ahold of and isn't absolutely definitely accounted for-

[Mary stops, folds, unfolds her hands. When her sleeve pulls back slightly, you can see a pair of handcuffs around one wrist.]

There might be another Hunt going on. We have to figure out now how many people are missing. Rationalizing where they might be, telling yourself it's not a big deal- forget that. We don't have time to second-guess.

I'm starting the list with Yosuke, Bigby Wolf, and Jesse Turner.

[Her hands are shaking a little. She grits her teeth slightly.]

Michael, everyone from last time- if you know where the grounds are, please. We need to stop this.

They will all be judged and punished. As I said, I plan on making an example of them so no one will ever think of doing it again.

What about Spencer? This is the third time.

I could tie him up with a pretty ribbon and deliver him to all of the victims to do as they please or I could deal with him myself. Possibly both if we do it in that order.

[The words actually seem to calm her a little. She takes a deep breath, eyes closed, then looks at him. There's a familiar moment of wavering, as she's not used to seeing him look like John anymore, but she stows it.]

I have a plan.

[servingfather]

[All part of his strategy. As for the looking like John bit, well he just didn't think to change before talking to her.]

Should I continue with my search or would you like me to come by to hear this plan?

[Mary only minds a little. She won't bring it up. It's not important.]

It won't take very long.

[Aka come by.]

[servingfather]

[Not as important as finding those missing people. He nods before shutting off the NV and appearing near Mary.]

What is it?

[momchester]

[She turns her own NV off in turn and gives him a surprisingly earnest look.]

It's pretty drastic.

[servingfather]

[He crosses his arms over his chest.]

Mary, I killed all of the SERO employees, destroyed their research in all forms, destroyed their creations and then burned the place to the ground. Drastic is something I can do.

[momchester]

[...Give her a second to take that one in, because what?

Okay, moment over. Mary nods and takes a breath.]

In the morning, they'll let them all go. As in they'll open the gates to the hunting grounds to let everyone out. It's the only chance to get in.

[servingfather]

[They still haven't talked about what happened the day of Raining Fire.]

It's not exactly an ideal plan. We'll be at a big disadvantage going into their territory.

[momchester]

It's hard to destroy the territory without going into it.

[servingfather]

Much easier if we don't have to be worried about being tagged and Voided while in their territory. This has the high possibility of turning on us and biting us in the ass.

[momchester]

From what I heard, they got the collars off around nightfall and most of the hunters vamoosed.

[servingfather]

Let's hope they do it again this time as well, then.

If her brilliant plan involves you filling the role of her big gun, don't.

angel radio

[servingfather]

Seems like she's got quite a few people interested in storming the gates.

angel radio

[thelightbringer]

That's what they call 'cannon fodder'.

Think of how fondly they'll remember the Hunters if you end up hurt in her suicide mission. [Because Lucifer would waste no time in exacting revenge on every person on the Island.]

angel radio

[servingfather]

Which makes me the perfect big gun for her plan. Who else has someone like you waiting for them to come home? [He knows what Lucifer would do, because he'd do the same in return. Michael wouldn't even try to stop his brother.]

[thelightbringer]

Let her bring Gabriel and Castiel, they could use a field trip. Besides, she's getting very familiar with us, volunteering our skills.

[And mostly Michael might get hurt. It's not okay. 8( ]

Her advice to us was to stay away. Let's do that. She's already planned half this out on a public network; it's clear she's getting you involved. So don't.

angel radio

[servingfather]

Yes she is, but I only do what I want to. As if Gabriel would really get involved in this. [They both know he wouldn't.

It won't be permanent injuries. :<]

The only reason I stayed away was because she was dead and there wasn't any point to going. I've made my choice.

angel radio

[thelightbringer]

Then I don't want to hear any whining when I make her pay for every nick and cut.

angel radio

[servingfather]

Fine. [Michael probably shouldn't be agreeing to this but human weapons are always so beneath him that he doesn't even think twice about them. W h o o p s. Sorry Mary.]

angel radio

[thelightbringer]

Come home tonight.

[He's still pissed. But he's learned not to waste time where Michael's concerned; he just has to snatch it up as greedily as possible.]

angel radio

[servingfather]

I will.

[It's softer than his determination, as if in attempt to soothe his brother.]
