The acting council may still be just an idea, but it's an idea that's gaining support and movement - they can work with that.

Fred arrives early, and thankfully without incident. She's carrying what looks like a small plastic bazooka and wearing a pack with a crossbow strapped to her back- all in case she ran across Angelus.

She's still observant to the point of paranoia, looking in all angles as she approaches the gates, but...well, she thinks she might have gotten through okay.

The Extras may not be particularly clever or independent, but they can be given enough instruction to cover basic duties around the castle. Such as those manning the gates of the high stone walls surrounding the grounds and castle itself-

"Oh, hi!" she says, smiling to cover up the little start she had at the sound of the voice. "I'm Fred Burkle, and I'm here to help Lady Petrana with some organizational things? I think she was expecting me, but I can contact her through the tablet if you want, anything you want is fine with me!"

Being high strung unfortunately makes Fred babble, even to the people who aren't really people.

Luckily the Extras don't really mind; they've got what they need from her and the smaller gate opens to allow her through. From there she'll be escorted into the castle (...and probably relieved of her weapons long before she reaches the Countess); the Extra staff here have already been given instructions to show Fred through to where Petra is working in the library.
