Now the Devil had long favoured the "lone wolf"
monster approach.
The vampiric Count sitting in a crumbling castle,the man pure of heart
bitten by a werewolf and then charging about with no backup
However that had all changed when Van Helsing and his team of
professional monster killers had offed Count Dracula in
1879.
All the Devil had given to Count Dracula was some crazy whackjob named Renfrew
whilst cold calculating Van Helsing had a team of 20 monster hunters and specialists to take
out the Count.
The Devil had learned his lesson,and after retiring his inventory of monsters for a few years,he'd sent them
back out into the field with "D Teams"
consisting of
five to ten folk whose job was to keep
their monster
doing monster things.
A sort of Houstons Mission Control keeping
an eye on the astronauts and their capsule.
Ashgrove's last monster had died from old age a few years back and
its D Team had been bumming around for the last while
by purchasing a van,dressing up as clowns and scaring little
old ladies walking their poodles at night.
But now that Juliet had become Ashgrove's
"new monster girl in town"
it was time to end the clownish pranks and get her the backup
she'd need for a productive monstrous life
And so the Devil also sent thoughts to the seven clowns cruising around in their 1995 Ford Econoline van
to meet up with
Juliet and Kayla.
