law enforcement chat

[Audrey doesn’t know how to talk about any of this but given her awareness of the problems at hand, she probably shouldn’t skimp on the details.]

I have two more. They landed in Boston, and they’re mine, for lack of better phrasing. Duke Crocker and Nathan Wuornos, both human.

[Let’s not explain the Troubles right now, they’re human in all the ways that count.]

They’re also more akin to the Salvatores than the resurrected folks. They’re from another universe.

[Is it too much to ask that you all not dig too much into how she knows that? Because she’s trying to get herself to Boston as quickly as possible and does not have time to explain the past thirty years she’s been pretending to be other people just yet.]

[sobrietytest]

They're yours?

[opencases]

I wouldn't have had a lock on more than one pair of children from another universe, not that anything surprises me, anymore.

[redeems]

It's more common than you think. Wait until the children you have here end up in another universe and come back.

[dfa]

They always come in three's, so keep a lookout.

[woodenbullets]

Former sheriff here, Matt Donovan. One of the returned. We're still waiting on DNA results for the Gilberts. But, it's likely they are who they are.

So far, they're laying low and getting drunk upstairs.

[opencases]

Matt.

[woodenbullets]

They don't know we know. They're in a safe environment.

Sorry Sheriff Forbes.

[opencases]

Not a sheriff anymore, Matt, and I would also be getting drunk if I ended up in an alternate universe with parents who hadn't had me.

Try not oversharing the information. Stick to what's relevant. You're waiting on the DNA test.

8/9

[phonetically]

Yeah. Muting this. Please mention me if you need me.

Also, I will update my chart tomorrow when half us aren't at a CHRISTMAS PARTY.

DONE surprise. less so, because I commented wrong lmao

[blingod]

Who knew I'd be longing for the days of killer mascots and fat spa murders. Hope your alternate children aren't all gooey.

At least they're not turning zombie on us. Been there, done that.

[patrols]

Also bonus points for being corporeal, because that sure was a thing in Sunnydale that caused a whole lot of problems.

[pastlives]

[Oh ... oh no. Audrey doesn't look at her phone again until she's in her uber and oops.]

Sorry. I was typing fast trying to get to the airport and didn't fully think it through.

They're not children. And they're not MY children. They're full grown adult men. I was just using it as a point of comparison because they're definitely from another timeline.

I'll hopefully have more information once I get to Boston in an hour or so, right now I'm just trying to make my plane.

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your party.

the cool kids (quentin, william, connor, zoe, mia)

[overprivileged]

[Added to the chat is the group photo taken at Christmas dinner.

It's followed by a hastily photoshopped "Missing" poster that he probably made before the party with William's face on it. Reward: $50,000, last seen with a back of a head, with a shot of the back of Cooper's head from OK! magazine.]

[slavophile]

( not that his plans would have changed, but there is a slight melancholy to the Christmas proceedings. people have returned, but, from the dead. and william has someone he loves and for the first time, way too many places to be at once. )

Mia, you didn't tell me you were having the cool kids over.

1/2

[blackstarred]

Mia didn't know the cool kids were coming over.

Besides, you still would have ditched us for Coop anyway.

baby hunter law enforcement chat (sam, dickerson, jody, donna)

[imnot_likeyou]

Hey, guys. This is Dickerson. He works out of Battlecreek and he's just getting started in terms of hunting.

Thought you guys would be good contacts to have.

1/?

[blingod]

Sheriff Donna Hanscum. Hibbing, MN. Welcome to the life, it'll bitecha if you're not careful, but my advice is bite back.

Dickerson, like Eric Dickerson?

[camber]

( that was fast. he doesn't know about the big law enforcement chat. )

Dad's a diehard Colts fan.

[camber]

And hi Donna. I'm a detective with the Battlecreek, PD.

[blingod]

You're in good company, then. And, Merry Christmas. Sometimes it feels a lump of coal in your stocking, but it has its rewarding days. You stumble in or take up shop?

DONE

[camber]

Little of both.
