WHO: The Black Order allies
WHERE: God, literally fucking everywhere.
WHEN: Whenever they get the call.
WHAT: A bunch of morons on their way to Kaisou.
WARNINGS: TBA

[A contingent of Black Order members see writing on the wall. And for their own respective reasons want to add to it. Just fill in the block letters spelling out "Rebellion" with their own names and their own contributions.

The Paranormal world will change, hopefully for the better.

They just, you know, have to get to the place it's all going down first!

((Make your own threads as planned, text other people who you know are in contact with one another even the ones also traveling, maybe even the ones in Kaisou if you wanna say who you're bringing around! This is entirely optional to chime into, it won't reflect the plot in any significant way. Call it a de-rust-er even.)) ]]

[This is not Vancouver.

Acheron's not too worried, usually, about her terrible sense of direction. She always gets there in time, and sometimes with help. However, she promised her girlfriend she'd come back with souvenirs, so she's a bit perturbed to find herself still in America, in entirely the wrong direction.

She spots the empty van while buying herself some peach candies at a rest stop. Huh, she knows that van, she's seen it recently enough that the demon hasn't started nibbling away at it yet. That's one of the Florida team's vans.]

What's this...?

[She's just gonna climb inside, open her bag, and start munching peacefully. Don't mind her.]

[guardianreaper]

[Listen, a man's gotta snack.]

[Randy's smart enough to not buy a twelve-pack on the way to overthrow their bosses. He's still a man, though, and a man has needs. A man has the munchies.]

[He comes back to the van with several bags of snacks in tow, extremely surprised at the new visitor.]

Weren't you in Canada?

[selfannihilator]

[munch munch.]

I was on my way there. I might have gotten a bit turned around in Boston. [She is remarkably calm about being so lost she ended up in the exact opposite direction from the Canadian border. Really, she's just peeved she might not be able to get Black Swan the souvenirs she asked for.]

What are you all doing out here?

[guardianreaper]

[You know what? He's gonna start snacking, too.]

[They are in Tennessee ma'am.]

"A bit turned around," huh?

[munch munch]

[Maybe he can work this to his advantage.]

We're takin' a trip down to Kaisou for an impromptu vacation. You want in?

[selfannihilator]

[At least she’s in the same country.]

Mm. I figured I’d gotten a little further than I should have when I ended up at Elvis Presley’s house.

[How do you aim for Vancouver and end up in Memphis. She keeps munching, putting some thought into it. On the one hand, Kaisou’s still in America, not exactly close to Vancouver. On the other hand—she’s been hearing rumors about what the team there has been doing. What they’ve managed to do.

She pops a candy into her mouth, chews thoughtfully.]

Sure. Black Swan’ll like an extra souvenir.

[guardianreaper]

[At the very least, they're snacking buds.]

[And Randy's not the type to say 'no' to traveling with a beautiful girl.]

Hell yeah, that's what I like to hear.

[He's gonna offer her some cheetos.]

Who knows, you might be able to get somethin' extra special for her there.

[The heads of her enemies.]

[qilinzuo]

[ Not too worried, eh?

Count him as one other, for one reason or another. He's already hanging around in the van himself when she plops on here. ]

Well, well, look who showed up? Decided to suddenly hitch a ride with us for the fun of it?

[selfannihilator]

Something like that. I was headed to Vancouver, but…

[She shrugs. You can see how well that turned out for her.]

If you’re going to Kaisou, I’m coming along as well. I want to see how the team’s doing.

[qilinzuo]

[ Very well indeedy.

But, that's more than fine with him. ]

Maybe we'll see something exciting.

Speaking of which, if you're feeling like you're getting rusty, we can always have a round before we go.

[ lmao ]

[selfannihilator]

From what I hear, there’s always some excitement going on there. So it’s almost guaranteed we’ll see something.

[munch.]

No.

[munch munch.]

[nohrianrose]

[Camilla, responsible adult that she is, is actually coming back with water bottles for everyone for the trip. She has snacks, of course, but the water's the important thing!

Imagine her surprise when she spots Acheron in the van.]

... Oh! Acheron, dear, it's been a while! Hello!

[selfannihilator]

[It’s been long enough that Acheron has to hold her sheathed sword tighter as she tilts her head, trying to recall. Then a corner of her mouth quirks slightly upward.]

Hello, Camilla. It’s good to see you.

[nohrianrose]

It's lovely to see you, too.

[She smiles as she slides into another seat in the van, putting down the water bottles and snacks before offering one of the water bottles to Acheron.]

I thought you were in Vancouver!

[selfannihilator]

[She takes the water bottle and easily pops it open, taking a long sip.]

I was on my way to Vancouver. Got a little turned around in Boston. Then I ended up in Graceland, Memphis—it’s a nice place, and I bought this.

[Fishing a kitschy little Elvis Presley key charm out from her pocket.]

And now I’m here.

[gotbadblood]

[Velvet doesn't immediately notice that Acheron has climbed inside the van. Oh no, she's too preoccupied. Instead, she's bolting out of the rest area like she just did some crime, and charging straight at the van - yelling all the while]

GET INSIDE THE VAN!!! GO GO GO GO!!!

[She'll reach the driver's door and DIVE in, slamming the door behind her. She just barely manages to put on her seatbelt before she's shoving her keys in the ignition and starting the engine]

Headcount! Do we have five?!

[selfannihilator]

[She is just munching on her snackies and texting Black Swan. The shouting barely even registers, she’s that absorbed in texting.]

[qilinzuo]

[ Meanwhile, Childe has his legs propped up and is leaning into some seat or whatnot. ]

Go? What's with all of the excitement all of a sudden?

[ He moves into a proper seating position and takes a peek out the windows. Is someone going to try to kill them maybe?! He doesn't actually bother to take a headcount. ]

Something happening?

[gotbadblood]

[She hears Childe, and she knows Childe well enough to know that if he thinks theres something to fight, he'll immediately want to get out of the car and fight it.

So-]

It's nothing you should be concerned with!

Now stay in the car and buckle your seatbelt!

[qilinzuo]

[ Hdu Velvet for knowing him too well.

Childe's eyes are twinkling in interest, though. Velvet is easily excitable, but it is also sudden so it can still mean there's trouble. ]

When you phrase it like that, I suddenly want to know the details.

[nohrianrose]

[Camilla does start to do a headcount, almost without even thinking about it, though she pauses and glances back to Velvet.]

Velvet, dear, what's the rush? Did something happen?

[gotbadblood]

Oh, something happened alright!

No one mentioned we crossed into Central Time! We're less than an hour away from getting caught in rush hour traffic if we don't move our asses!!

[nohrianrose]

Oh, shit--

[Let it be known Camilla rarely swears, but this is very much an occasion that calls for it.]

[guardianreaper]

[Imagine this.]

[You are Randy Orlando. Stopped at a gas station, eating your munchies, when Velvet rushes into the fan and slams the door shut.]

[Your cheetos are now on the floor. What do you do?]

What the hell, Vel!? Did you eat someone?

[He looks back. They do have five.]

[gotbadblood]

[This is the price you pay for getting shotgun Randy. You get the extra legroom and control of the music, but now you're this much closer to the cannibal you agree to let drive this vehicle]

Don't tempt me, Orlando!

[Turning on the car engine]

We moved into another timezone without noticing! We gotta move if we don't wanna get stuck in rush hour!

[guardianreaper]

[At least if he dies here, he can die happy.]

[Randy glances back. It's then he realizes that the five that are in the van are not the five they came here with.]

[He weighs his options here. Velvet already seems ready to strike, and he doesn't want to get in the way of that. Also, it's Acheron.]

[Sorry, Eizen. He'll buy you a cold one when he gets back.]

Alright, guess it's time to put the pedal to the metal!
