-Ches Griffin is in the kitchen, looking over his cane for a bit-
-he's considering something-
-he has a cup of tea, but it looks like he'll be going outside soon-
-he's wearing a stab-vest too-
-Rayko is down in the basement, typing away on his PDA, back to the wall-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post... Paranormal usually isn't my category.
What- with my lack of superpowers, other than a chemical condition of invisibility that I gave myself.
Kitt doesn't do paranormal either usually.
I know Su Li does sometimes. But she isn't around here. If anything, I'd prefer her not to come here.
-he opens his jacket, to casually check his gun's ammo-
I could do a referral to VIGILANT, but I don't know how long they'd take to send someone over.
Especially as this wouldn't technically be considered a crisis on VIGILANT's scale, so it'd take low priority compared to other crisis's.
Same with me.

Heh. Maybe they'd even send that idiot that removed one of his eyes and his hand, in order to use a magical artifact.
He's basically the best guy we have for magic and paranormal situations...
Dr.Sanguine I think he goes by? Scarlet Doctor... Not sure.
I never met the guy.
But sadly I've got other things on my plate.
-he puts the pistol away- Like finally sorting out the problematic individual out in the forest. I've got a plan now.
Besides, we have contracts being made all the time back home. And not one occasion has it resulted in world domination.
Unless you're a conspiracy theorist that believed Hitler and the Nazis became a thing because Hitler made a deal with a demon, in which case you got a close call.
At least- if you only consider the world to be Europe.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post-stops preparing for a moment, as if to think-
... That could help things.
He probably wouldn't be expecting you.
He probably doesn't even know you.
-takes his pistol out and hands it to Audrey- We're hunting Jack The Ripper.
He's an Oracle, we can't let him escape.
If he escapes, he will look into the future again and prepare.
This is why I'm going for the tactics he won't expect from me.
Like wearing a stab vest- it's an extra thing that hinders my ability to use my invisibility.
And not taking Kitt with me. It'd be idiotic to not take Kitt with me. Which is why I'm doing it.
He's probably planned for all occasions where I take Kitt with me, because of how versatile and powerful a psychic can be.
... Unless he cut out the possibility of me ever taking Kitt with me to begin with...
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postFrom what information I've heard- yes.
He can go into a ritual to see all possible futures.
But- that raises the possibility.
That because he can see it. He may be able to manipulate things.
Maybe if we imagined time as a web. He could take a knife- cut some of the strands.
Specifically the ones where he loses.
However. -straightens his jacket-
He's still only human. Even if he's drunken from a Fountain of Eternal Youth or something.
He'll make oversights due to the unlikeliness of a strand.

Exactly.
Abuse the unlikely probabilities.
... Though I imagine...
-stops for a moment- ... Audrey- if you see too many coincidences that happen to fall in his favor.
We should probably leave.
Because that'll probably mean he's already prepared.
This is a man who avoided the combined effort of All three Holmes Brothers. One of whom was a Paranormal investigator- and a psychic.
That can't be coincidence considering they were the best detectives to exist in The Rippers' original time.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postHe probably won't expect you, though.
... I do give you permission to use it in this case.
If there's anything he would've seen, there are some things he would figure so unlikely to consider improbable.
Such as a man like me, taking someone young like you, into a dangerous situation, and then that someone young like you turning out to be a telepath.
