He had visited Texas only once before, he and Daisy had taken time off to go to a convention in Austin, she was a huge nerd. He had enjoyed it, good food, cheap beer, not a bad place at all. Yet this was not Austin, this was Blue. All he knew about it was that it was small and it was the site of a horrendous killing spree. Still, that was not his cross to bare today, today that was Isadora and her teams job. He’s fate lay elsewhere, somewhere a little warmer and with a very different vibe. Somehow, Emory had become a leader amongst the Regulators, not that he wanted to be. He guessed that it just came with the fact that he is one of the longest surviving members. Making his way to the meeting room where the teams were now gathered, the usually stoic Emory said his final piece. [color=silver]”We’re working on very little information here, for both cases. Stay vigilant, trust each other. Muggles aren’t always forthcoming, especially in small towns like this. Say your goodbyes and when you step out of that door, you’ll be in Blue. Die well guys”[/color] The Caretaker entered the room with a box of coins, offering one to each Regulator. [b]”Enchanted as per the usual instructions. These port keys will bring you back here if things get…unpleasant”[/b] Leaning against a wall, the Charms master watched as the team of Isadora, Felix, Athos, Tariq, Kieran, Natalia, Arthur and Sebastian left the Mysterium Domum and walked into the unknown. Would this be the last time that he saw them? He didn’t know but it was highly possible and very probable. In any other job, Emory probably would’ve given them all a different and significant goodbye…but not here, not as a Regulator. As best he could, he tried to keep all of them on equal footing. Even the likes of Felix and Tariq whom he has known since his school days, they were no different to Sebastian and Athos whom he’d only known a few months. In spite of they sexual relationship, Isa was nothing special. If she died on this case, he would mourn and then he would move on, that’s just how it had to be. Survival of the fittest. With the Texas team gone, the Domum began to move again. It would be only minutes before it reached its destination of California. [color=silver]”Right, our plan starts at the house. We’ll go in as tourists and go from there. Zara, you’re with me on this one. You’re better with people than I am and we might need your legilimency talents to get into places people don’t want us to”[/color] Emory liked Zara, she was someone whose company he enjoyed in more ways than one. In a lot of ways she reminded him of Daisy and that stung a lot. She was beautiful, no doubt and with a kind soul. Some days he did sit and ponder how so many good folk wound up in a job like this. In another bump, the Domum hit the California coast and the old oak door swung open to the San Jose sunshine. The Welshman placed a hand on the Caretakers shoulder and lead his team, consisting of Zara, Bunny, Florian, Richard and Nickie out of the house. [color=silver]”Right then Bunny”[/color] Emory turned to the inventor and smiled. [color=silver]”I know you’ve already researched the shit out of this place, so give me some details to work with”[/color][/center]
