The scrapes and bruises might have healed over, even the worst of his bruised ego smoothed over with time, but that didn't mean that Theo had put the night out of mind altogether. Quite the contrary, after the terrifying scare they'd gotten ( ... )

Betty Jo was not much of a night person. But some sense of duty to Theo -- after all, he was a classmate -- drove the girl towards the attic as the note had asked. She hadn't ever exactly been up to this particular area of the school before. The excitement of exploring a new area was just about the only thing keeping her on her feet at this point. (Concern over the car? Why would she be concerned about the car? Obviously her chimera partner could hold it off, if it could chew fenders like that.)

Yawning, eyes teary with the sheer amount of sleepiness bogging her down, the subdued-for-once Betty Jo plodded into the attic room, looking around blearily. Some subconscious quirk of hers had her absently toying with the end of one of her braids as she approached the two already present.

She squashed down a yawn and gave them both the most cheerful smile she could summon on low energy. "Hey there."

Truth be told, Jimmy had been rather tempted to skip the whole ordeal altogether. Meetings with all of them - especially some of the other boys like Will and Theo - always just meant a whole lot of talking and not a whole lot of doing, which, he supposed, was a good idea, but just not quite Jimmy's style. It was obvious, then, as the boy made his appearance through the attic door, that he had almost taken himself up on that temptation, because he was sleepy-eyed and still rubbing a lazy hand through his pillow-mussed hair. At the very least, Jimmy had gotten a few hours in before forcing himself up. (For a gentleman always made good on his appointments, and always on time ( ... )

“I’m not late, am I?” Eleanor inquired, as if on cue. She was still busy tying her hair as she approached the motley selection of chairs, her face freshly powdered. She’d overslept - a common consequence of falling asleep before she could set her alarm clock. As soon as she’d realized the time she had thrown herself together in a meager twenty minutes (a fraction of the time she usually spent), and came rushing down into the meeting room.

Spotting her brother, she took a seat down beside him, hands folding neatly in her lap. Her glance skimmed over the others that have arrived prior to her, giving them an apologetic smile. To her relief, she didn’t appear to be the last one there.

They could plan about how, exactly, to best take care of this car problem all they wanted, but it wasn't going to help anyone if they didn't actually go through with it. A perfect explanation for why they were in the rougher neighborhoods near the bridge the next night, waiting for that telltale roar of backfire. Far past curfew.

And completely incapable of coming to consensus about who would be bait for their favorite car. After an entire day.

"We're taking a chance if it recognizes us from last time. It could get angry enough to charge in, it could still be spooked from last time and just run," Theo grumbled and crossed his arms, eyes shifting from one teammate to the next in the secluded alley.

William, who had been completely nonplussed when it came to the idea of the car being an actual sentient being that could apparently recognize previous foes, stood a bit off to the side. His arms were crossed over his chest as well, though he was watching the other end of the alley.

"If we're planning on trapping it in the alley, then we'll also need to split up and send one group down to the other end to follow it if it decides to take the bait," William added. This is crazy, he thought. I'm talking about a car as if it was a wild animal.

Rashnu gave a non-committal grunt in his mind.

Locrine fiddled with his monocle nervously at the discussion. "Are you sure this is alright though?" He assumed everyone was already aware of the danger after their last discussion, but it was hard to get the idea of something bad happening to one of them out of his head. This was something that needed to be done, he knew that. That didn't mean it was any more safe.

"Do you think we could lure it in with a persona? That would be a bit better than anyone risking physical harm until we trap it..." It was sort of better anyway. Sort of. It still might require someone to head out a little further.

Jimmy looked considerably less antsy and hesitant than the rest. He was shuffling right where he stood, and a person could practically feel the excited energy bouncing off of him. "We should just take it!" he encouraged, though he hadn't been receiving much positive response regardless, "With this many people, there's no way we can't take them down!"
