## The Flake

> *"Everything's connected. But not everyone can see the patterns, and most people don't even look that hard. But me, I can never stop seeing the truth. I spot the patterns. That's how I found the monsters, and that's how I help kill them."*

## Introduction (Original Timeline)

Delia is a shy and paranoid middle-aged woman travelling the country in an RV with her three cats: Holmes, Watson, and Moriarity. Delia grew up in a seculded and restrictive cult, and it has caused her to view the world in a different way than most people. Once she was able to break free, she decided to see the world for herself.

Delia met Nana Hazard and Hugo Paxton at a time when they were working on the most important assignment of their career, trying to rescue a childhood friend that had been abducted by a Collector. After working so hard, they found themselves in despair at yet another dead end. In an amazing coincidence, Delia just happened to have the information they were looking for- lots and lots of it, in fact.

With the mission finally a success, Nana returned home and, after taking some time to recover, she contacted Delia and invited her to join P.I.E., offering her a position on Hazard Squad.

## Retrocausal Paradox

As a result of the team's intervention during the events of the Mysteries of the Inverse Spring Part II mystery, **Delia Lovejoy**'s parents left the cult before they had been completely indoctrinated. They never died "mysteriously". They did, however, just end up joining a different cult instead, which Delia learned from a voicemail message she received shortly after returning to the current timeline.

* Vampire Clans
* The Red Council
* Werewolves

## Conversations

### With Hector Paxton

* Hector has been secretly working towards becoming a private investigator. He hasn’t told anyone, because he’s too shy to talk about it, and he’s not confident that he’s actually going to pass the test. The only person that knows besides you is the cop Erin Diskin, who suggested it to him one night when she was really drunk and sad at the Drafthouse and needed someone to talk to. He mentioned to her that when he was a kid he really wanted to be a detective. She made it her mission to help him study for the test, and even helped to fudge the paperwork to ensure he met all the requirements.

* Tom says he doesn’t believe in ghosts, but when he has to go down into the basement at night to change the kegs, he apologizes to the “ghosts” for the interruption. There’s actually just a family of squirrels living down there. Hector considered calling an exterminator, but one time he saw one share a peanut with Nathaniel and decided they were probably pretty decent guys, so it’s alright if Tom continues to think his bar is haunted.

### With Henry Elkwind

* Henry has an extensive collection of research on cryptids and monsters going back to the middle ages. He has a “book club” where they translate, compare and compile this info. The other members are Selena Hunt, Stash Horowitz, Tandy Banachack and Sylvester Tagrid. You are totally welcome to attend one of their meetings.

* This happened not long after Henry moved to town. When she was still a teenager, Nana was attacked in the woods by a woman named Stormy. In the end, she succeeded in fighting her off and the woman fled, but Nana nearly died from her injuries. Henry tried to learn more, but even now people are unusually tight-lipped out the whole affair. Sylvester confirmed that Stormy was also a werewolf, but has sternly warned him about bringing up the incident in public, as several kids at the time, including his son Simon, had unwittingly stumbled across the scene as it played out. Them being there probably saved Nana’s life, but they were all highly traumatized by what they witnessed. Henry has asked you to be very careful about mentioning this to anyone.

## Fire and Rain (Current Timeline)

While still at Peles Castle, Delia had been enjoying her newfound youth and is determined to make up for all the things she missed when she was actually 21-years-old. This physical change seems indicative of a bigger shift in Delia's personality as she begins to decide who she is outside the confines of the cult. Those around her have definitely noticed her coming out of her shell.

This was the Hazard Squad's first mission after returning to town, and their first assignment with Mary-Anne McGravie. Delia was hot on the trail of one of the Witch Lizards, but was forced to leave early because Moriarity swallowed something weird.
