"Great, an long-lived being with a grudge. Cause that's never a problem." She munches thoughtfully for a moment, "We all saw the note, but how do we know this has anything to do with Viv and her mum?"

"They're the ones who ordered her to do it based on what she said," Tereza says with a nod. "But could this guy be an opportunist who happens to know she is? He could be using it to settle old scores and make it look like it's them."

"Maybe, just maybe this is a me thing and only a me thing. Certainly enough of those out there."

Gemma blinks for a second. "Oh, right, you wouldn't know." She moves into the room and leans up against one of the wall, "Bodb Derg is... or was... the son of the Dagda and the Morrigan. There were rumors among..." She pauses and rubs her throat for a second. "... among my... people that there were mortal heroes who were opposing him, but no one across the veil has heard from the man himself in ages. At least not that I'm aware. To take that name for your own would invite all manner of evil. I wouldn't want to be whoever this is."

Tereza munches her jerky. "No one expects you to, love. Besides, from what Gemma said, it's probably not even the same guy. Just some person who decided to use the name. I mean, they made a board game based on Jumanji, so someone taking on some old boogeyman's name isn't that unheard of. Certainly wouldn't be the first time."

Vivienne thought quietly. "I believe so. Mother told me he was the guardian of the Isle, to give him respect should I ever encounter him while I was here. She knew of him, it would be a reasonable conclusion that he would be at least aware of her."

"You're talking about driving to three different locations in Wales. Remote locations, according to Viv. We could be gone for a while and we'll be missed. It's your mission, but the Blackbird would make checking them out faster. If you want, I can talk to Laura and see if we can use it 'unofficially', but Ashlie's going to notice either way."
