Shit.

[That's a big target. The fact that someone was able to get close enough to get it done is huge.]

What do you need?

[Because clearly the party is over and it's time to get back to work.]

[lengthened]

Check in with yours. If anybody feels unsafe, we need to move people. Or, they need to go to ground. This is the beginning of the Gauntlet and a hell of an opening play.

( And now witches everywhere are in the crossfire. )

Stay careful and stay vigilant.

[cosmiccon]

[Dolls nods as he steps back from the door.]

If you need boots on the ground anywhere, let me know.

[lengthened]

I will.

( Let him know. And will probably need boots on the ground.

"Me too," Wynonna says, throwing her hat in the ring. "I'm a girl with a gun, with no one to point a gun at. I'll help." )

[cosmiccon]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, and it's all transportation.

[That being said, he has another thought as they pull away from Aalis's office and head back to the tables.]

We need to loop in your sister.

Soon as you fill me in on what a Gauntlet is. Only Gauntlet I know, was better the second time around.

( the MTV show, Dolls. )

[cosmiccon]

[He takes a deep breath, trying to figure out how to break down the little he knows in the most basic terms.]

The Gauntlet is a witch battle royale. There's this coven called the Colony, and they're throwing one to pick their new heirs. It's basically a free-for-all in terms of witches taking each other out in a big grab for power.

[dollywood]

Literal Witch Wars.

( Fuck. )

That is not cool and it's going to get a lot of innocents killed in their magical crossfire. Really, Dolls. Anything I can do.

[cosmiccon]

I know.

[And then because he pays attention when Wynonna talks.]

Isn't Alice's roommate a witch?

[dollywood]

Yeah. Apparently, a legacy. Something about a big curse she skipped over. I didn't pry. Now I want to pry.

( Why didn't she pry? )

Rebekah's also a witch. Doc's wife. And her sister, Freya. We got witches coming out of her ears. Shit, I need to also make some calls.

[cosmiccon]

[Dolls nods, because yeah. There's very few people in their world who doesn't touch a witch.]

I'll go fill Waverly in. You make the calls you have to make.
