EST - 1 Day Since Hel Returned[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr]	Congratulations - you have made it to the next day. As the world wakes up, no one else quite realizes how many horrors are connected. Reports are flooding in about the decimation of the circus in Coventry. O.M.E.N. must have covered it up, as reporters are claiming that Boris Valeska opened fire on his fellow performers and some innocent bystanders, causing their deaths. As for the attack on O.M.E.N. headquarters - the White House released a statement saying that O.M.E.N. headquarters had gone into lockdown. There's no mention of the fatalities or the bloodshed. But can you blame them? Why announce that an entire government organization had been decimated by a being that came from myth and legend?

	Fortunately, no other organizations took a hit like O.M.E.N. did. S.H.I.E.L.D. lended some emergency response personal, sending in teams of specialists to help analyze the damage and treat the survivors. Most of the survivors haven't said a single word, too traumatized by the events that they had seen. The ones that do talk only beg to be killed, rather than survive with the memories they still have. Well, all except for Ricky Goldsworth and Alex Jakobsen. They're currently being recommended to be put on a 72 hour psych hold, just to make sure they aren't a danger to themselves or others. 

	As for Jessica, Chikashi had managed to get her on a plane to Boston. He's taking her in personally, in hopes to keep her safe during the upcoming crisis. He doesn't trust that any of his safe houses will be up to standard with the attack on O.M.E.N. HQ in Washington D.C. He practices law in Boston, living in the Brookline neighborhood with his two kids - Naegi and Kysarin - as well as his wife. She's on the board of directors of Pym Tech. When Jessica's plane got in, they put her up in Naegi's room and he bunked with his sister. The kumakatok, Mallory, traveled with her. Turns out, Mallory wasn't there to kill Jessica. She was looking for someone to hide with from Hel. 

	Alec and the other O.M.E.N. agents managed to make contact with Jade, breaking the news to the MI13 agent. She took it all surprisingly well, given that her uncle had been murdered. They all managed to meet in Boston, staying at the Cromwell House with plans to discuss their options in the morning. Jade had shared news about the physicist as well more troubling facts in Coventry. Before she took the train to Boston, she went to check out Murphy's last known location. She found at least a dozen corpses in a circus tent, along with the carcass of a gigantic dog - a dog the size of several semi trucks. The physicist they were looking for was among the bodies. The agents had made plans to meet at sunrise and talk next moves. O.M.E.N. HQ wasn't replying to any calls that they made. 

	Folly, Lilith, and Thalia spent the night at the Coventry Horrors Hotel. It helped that the management had died - almost all of the rooms were available at no cost. Folly hardly slept during the night, and when she did, she'd wake up screaming. Thalia's sleep was hardly peaceful either. Her wings did manage to fold slightly, and with practice, Thalia was able to make it so that way no one could see them - that they became invisible. But her entire body ached and groaned. Lilith was comparatively well off. Yet as the sun rises, one question still remains...What are they going to do?

	Lastly, the hunters had spent most of the evening working on a plan to trick Hel. One of Mariana's contacts came through and managed to give them some actual Norse warding to use. The warding could be used to bind Hel to an object as small as a pebble and as large as a building. The other bit of warding they received was more useful - this warding could be used to kill Hel. Her source was fairly confident that it would work, yet it required the saliva of a person of Norwegian ancestry. Hel doesn't expect them at her base of commands until noon, so they have a few hours. 

	Good luck, my lovelies. You've survived one day. Let's see if you can survive another...
