[Video] The Rescue Group can plot here if they'd like

[The video clicks on to show Fenton, tapping his hand nervously on his kitchen table. He's locked the feed, but it's only a general lock. He just made sure this new guy wasn't on it. He's clearly struggling with what to say, not wanting to say too much over the open network, even locked as it was. He felt a little paranoid, but it was a similar feeling as when the witches had taken over Main Street, and you never knew if they were spying on you through mirrors - any mirror. It was that same sense of unease.]

So. Okay. I'm sure we've all heard this guy and his ransom demands. I can help give some munny to the 'cause'. The guy said he'd tell us where to drop it, later. [He frowned, narrowing his eyes faintly, glancing to the side.] ....Anyone want to join me in "pooling" our munny? Discussing who should make the "drop", perhaps? We can all meet up in one spot, if that's easier on everyone. Anyone have a place in mind?

[He was speaking in code as much as he dared. Clearly a rescue mission needed to be held, but he didn't dare announce so over the network, even locked as it was... just in case. Like with the witches. It was probably better to meet in person, to discuss plans on rescing the others. Hopefully others would understand that's what he was getting at, here.]

[And if not, well... at least they'd be gathering up the ransom munny they needed, anyway.]

Beetlejuice pouted a little, both because he knew Lydia would have been interested in his eyewitness history stories, and, because, planning gruesome revenge kept him from worrying as much.

His hair was slowly turning a mix of blue and purple, and he returned to pacing, agitatedly.

Connie shifted her eyes toward Beetlejuice, waiting for him to speak up. When he didn't, she sighed inwardly.

"And I think Beetlejuice should be on the team, too. I can't imagine he'd think anyone but him is qualified to rescue Lydia anyway."

[creepyoldguy]

He’d been planning on going it alone, and being included in an official group surprised him enough to make him pause in his pacing.

“Of course! I’m her best pal.”

That was his way of both covering his surprise at being invited, and, a thank-you.

Fenton just grinned widely. Okay! Now they were getting somewhere! "Sounds just fine to me, Connie! You and Beetlejuice, and..."

He looked over at Scorpia. As much as he was worried about Lydia, he knew Beetlejuice would absolutely make sure she was safe, and he really didn't know the other two. Plus, he had to admit, this task might need some brute strength, and Scorpia certainly fit that bill. As much as he wanted to help... perhaps it would be best if he stayed here, and let others do the rescuing.

"You want to take the third spot, Scorpia? I'm sure you'd be a great help!"

Scorpia nodded. "I'll be glad to," she said. "Lydia's my friend too, and I like both of the others, so I'd want to go anyway." Plus she kinda wanted to punch this guy, so if she got the chance to do that, so much the better.
