We are about a half hour from town.

[And he'll give her the address for the cafe where he and Damon are sitting.]

My phone was dead and Damon lost his, but we're okay.

( Buffy says it back as Beck, the other modern man, types it into his maps. )

We have Damon's phone. I'm with Scarlett, Melanie, and Beck. Is that it, you went on a bender and ended up a half hour outside town?

( She'll be calmer, just confirm this wasn't brotherly negligence and alcohol. )

In theory? Yes. But for some reason we wound up in a cow pasture, but we have no idea where Lindsay and Rhett are.

[Which is unfortunate and indicates they still have some detective work to do.]

And the fact that we were able to get that drunk? Means there was probably something else at play.

[Speaking of, perception check, Damon.]

[attainathons]

( (6) for perception check as he's zeroed in on his brother's conversation with Buffy. )

Do you think they were after Lindsay or Rhett? ( She looks to the group. ) Do you remember Lorden Wallis?

( "Real sinister with Stevie Nicks levels of witchery," Beck says on the other end of the line, having found her on Facebook. )

[Stefan's brow furrows because the name rings a bell, but he's having a hard time putting a name to the face.]

Do you have a picture?

[attainathons]

One sec.

( She brings the phone down, takes a picture, sends it, brings the phone back up. )

It's sent. Beck's right. It's like Carly Simon meets Stevie Nicks.

[The image comes up and Stefan blinks, before showing it to his brother.]

Isn't that the woman who bought the last round?

[The door the cafe jingles, and when Damon looks up, he'll happen to see that exact woman stalking towards them, hands already rising with a spell prepared.

Will saves, please.]

[attainathons]

I doubt she only bought you the last round.

( Your choice what Damon's (1) means, but yeah, natural, fucking 1 at the very worst time to have a natural 1. )

[Before Damon can even respond, the witch hisses an incantation and he passes out at the table. Stefan stays awake a second longer just to panic (3), but soon follows his brother into unconsciousness leaving Buffy listening to open air on the other end of the line.

This time, Stefan will not be taking his phone. Sorry, Buff.]
