Fetch Quest

[Isolde Schwarz]

Walking down the hallway with some urgency, Isolde stops at Wanda and Nailah's door and raps her knuckles on it.

[Nailah Weaver]

"Come on in!" Nailah shouts with bit of a strain in her voice.

Upon opening the door Isolde would see Nailah doing a handstand in the middle of the room, tail swiveling back and forth to help keep her balance.

[Wanda Johansson]

Wanda is at her desk, headphones on and obviously trying to ignore the display in the middle of the room.

[Isolde Schwarz]

Isolde steps in, and blinks at the spectacle on the floor.

"...was the gym crowded?"

[Nailah Weaver]

"Yeah. It's been really going to the dogs lately." she says once she recognizes Isolde.

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I had Tosh pull the woman's medical records," she says to Wanda.

"It's looking like trouble."

[Nailah Weaver]

"She's got her headphones in..."

"Hey Wanda!" she shouts. "There's someone tall, dark and shaggy here for you!"

[Wanda Johansson]

Wanda pulls off the headphones, "I'm aware she's here. Was just trying to finish a thought." She turns to the pair, "What was that about the woman?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"She's not healing faster than she ought to, but they're not sure why she's still alive. It's possible she's infected, but they're not giving her enough by IV to allow her to heal."

"And there's been a symbol roughly carved into her."

[Nailah Weaver]

"There's a what carved in the who?" Nailah asks, flipping herself right side up again.

[Wanda Johansson]

"A symbol? What symbol?" Wanda says, pulling her journal off the shelf on her desk.

[Isolde Schwarz]

Isolde pulls out her phone and brings up the picture, holding it out so they can see.

"Could be Celtic. Could be Norse. I've a bad feeling if it's Norse."

[Nailah Weaver]

"Yikes! That's messed up... Who'd do something like that?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"It's possible it's... my son." She sighs.

[Wanda Johansson]

Wanda, currently focusing on the symbol, initially misses that statement. Then Isolde can almost here the click as her eyes snap to Isolde's face. "What was that?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"Not my biological son. That's something denied to me."

"But the closest I can have to one. One of the survivors of an earlier pack."

[Wanda Johansson]

"And you think it's him all based on the symbol?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"He's... contacted me. Tried to talk me into a job. He's in the UK right now."

"I declined, of course."

[Wanda Johansson]

Wanda frowns in a 'we're not done with this yet' fashion, going back to peering at the symbol. "It... might be a triquetra, though it's a little... It could also be the valknut. It's hard to say."

[Nailah Weaver]

"It's messed up is what it is. You hang out with some terrible people..." she says to nobody in particular.

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I cut ties with him long before I came here. He's delusional. Thinks he's Úlfhéðnar, one of the gallows god's holy warriors."

[Nailah Weaver]

"And I bet getting turned into a horrible wolf-beast had nothing to do with that."

[Wanda Johansson]

"If it is him, it could be the valknut. The thought is that it has something to do with Odin, but that's mostly modern conjecture. No one really knows what it used to mean." Her frown deepens, "So what are you going to do about it?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I've already asked Tosh if he's willing to go with me to Scotland. He's suggested a few others."

[Nailah Weaver]

"Werewolf hunting in Scotland?"

[Wanda Johansson]

"I looked up Knoydart. It's super remote relatively speaking. Who are you thinking about taking?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I don't know many here. Tosh had suggested Tereza, who I'd already talked to about Eric. Otherwise he mentioned Shari, Natalie, and one of the Wills."

[Wanda Johansson]

"You probably won't be able to pry Tereza away from Vivienne and Sam. I heard there was some sort of altercation."

[Nailah Weaver]

"I'll come! You could teach me how to take down a werewolf."

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, eh?"

[Nailah Weaver]

"Right... But could you give me some tips, just in case?"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"I... suppose so?" She replies with a quirked brow.

[Wanda Johansson]

Wanda's eyes light up with a 'please take her away' expression.

[Nailah Weaver]

"Heck yeah! Let's go!"

[Isolde Schwarz]

"...I'll rent a car," she sighs.
