Spot Off The Causeway on the Mainland Side, Friday Evening

He'd left Mina a message, but he had no idea whether she'd show up, or if she'd bring anyone. Still, staying off the island seemed like a more and more appealing prospect-- that is, if they didn't manage to the bottom of this and quickly.

Mitchell hadn't signed on to be the prime game in a witch hunt.

So now he was out there, waiting. (Maybe even dithering) He'd been trying to place a phone call all day, but he kept going back and forth on the decision. Finally, he hit call.

Waited.

Waited some more.

Wait-- "Seth," Mitchell said, rubbing his forehead, "Get me Herrick on the phone-- Seth. I mean it--" Pause. "Don't even start about Lauren. He's here, isn't he? Is this your work-- he's nipped out for a kebab. Brilliant. I don't care. Seth, has anyone ever told you you're a complete idiot? ... Yeah, there's a reason no one tells you anything-- you're staying out of that hospital. Seth. Just tell Herrick to phone me back. Think you can manage that?"

[[ nfb, but open to anyone who knows where he is. or phone calls ]]

"What, you want to stand by and let the humans burn one of us at the stake in the open?" Mitchell asked, raising his eyebrows. "That's just fuel to condemn us for good."

Mitchell's own world might have had some impact on the way he saw things, yes.

"Then perhaps we should concentrate on other efforts," Mina said. "Stressing the need for justice in the more mature fashion, of trials and evidence. The crime is one of an individual, not the kind."

Now it was Mitchell's turn to snort. "Yeah," he said, "That'll be the day."

"So your solution is skulduggery," Mina replied. "I do not see how secret manuevering to cover up the problem allows us to gain any trust at all. If we must do anything, it cannot be just vampires tracking down one of... I hardly wish to use the phrase, but... 'our own'."

"We're killers, Mina," Mitchell said, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Do you really think we could get them to trust us in any way in the end?"

"...no," Mina admitted. "I just... do not like the idea. But I shall acquiesce to your plan."

Mitchell nodded, and glanced over his shoulder, back at Fandom. "We need to keep watch," he said, "Whenever new people arrive. There's three of us now, there might be one more, who knows who'll show up in the future."

"We should speak with the dhampirs," Mina said. "They will wish to keep informed, of course."

She paused. "Are you aware of the dhampirs?"

[chosehumanity]

"...The what?"

Well, that answered that question.

"Dimitri and his charge," Mina said. "They are half vampire. Very intriguing... but now is not the time for scientific curiosities."
