good call James comes back from the bar and shakes his head briefly to the doctor. Approaching the front desk, he gestures for the other clerk to come to the far end of the counter, and leans in. Before he speaks, he looks back as if to make sure none of the other guests can hear them. "Sir, w...

"I'll be right back, doc," James says, and heads to the bar. He'll give the bar a quick scan looking for someone of middle eastern descent.

I guess I'm a little out of sorts. I had my character know Cantonese, not Mandarin, in case the group came across folks from around Hong Kong. And his job down there is mostly a convenient, under-the-radar cover. I'm not sure why he'd be up in the Beijing area and going to the university there as he...

mummy,I know but James is easily confused James is quickly apologetic. He grabs the Captain's other hand if it is not holding an oyster shucking knife. "Harry, I am very sorry. I meant no rebuke to you. If I've given offense, then for that I apologize. "I merely meant, since the hour is g...

James screws up his face in thought for a moment, then with a slight grimace, he says "I know this might come as a bit distasteful to we military men used to chains of command, but we are no longer all together members of His Majesty's Armed Forces. I say we put it to a vote. "Option A: w...

"Well, um, doc, thanks for the... tonic. Cheers." James eyes the drink suspiciously, then shrugs and knocks it back. He downs most of it, but gags toward the end and sputters a few drops, which turns into a brief fit of coughing and nose-blowing. He uses his handkerchief back to mop up an...

James raises his glass towards the Doctor and Sgt Maj . "Hear hear! Undead ghouls or no, we are all glad you made it through that kafuffle intact and upright. I, ATCHOOOO!" A few drops of the whiskey splash out of his glass and land on the remaining half of his steak. "Ugh, pardon my...

Disbelievingly, and maybe because he just doesn't want to believe it, James asks the doctor, "Are you sure he was already dead? I'd rather think that the strain of fresh combat might have put you off your mark."

James sits in the restaurant, huddled in his jacket trying to stay warm, alternating between taking bites of steak and sneezing into a handkerchief. "I daren't say quite yet. I haven't met either of them. It doesn't sound like the colonel is very hospitable, but, ugh, ATCHOO! Ugh, pardon me, w...

ooc,oh dear

As Paice locks up, James walks over to Harry . "I left my service pistol back in my quarters. This.." he says in a hushed tone as he opens his coat part way, revealing the Colt, "is my own little number. I certainly don't want to be caught unawares should the bugger show up." Jam...

"I'm not too keen on splitting up. Our little cadre is already at less than full strength, and I'm only just now back in the fold after that kafuffle back at HQ.... seriously, Winton doesn't even have a mustache, and I've never even ridden a bicycle....." he trails off again. A second lat...

Hearing the steel in Paice's voice, James throws back the rest of his drink. "THAT'S the uncle from my boyhood! Alright, since we have a few hours, why not check a few of the hotels near the Museum to see if they have an Egyptian fellow named Faez staying there?" James gets up, and begins ...

"Uncle, at least come with us to the Army Navy to meet up with our mates, whether or not you intend to stay the night. The six of us can put our heads together and mount a defense to make Rorke's Drift look like an upturned coffee table in a food fight. Here, there, wherever, but at least we'l...

James pours a double for each of them as he starts speaking, then hands out the glasses. "Uncle, we don't need to tell you of all people that there is safety in numbers. This rogue, strong as he seems to be, has been picking off your fellow Buffs when alone (or in a crowd of mindless civilians...

"What a mess. Egyptian cults. Secret raids. I just don't know. Uncle," James asks, "you know these men, any lines of inquiry that might loosen tongues or open doors?"
