IC: Scene 3 - The meeting

[Gaffer]

Karl looks at the coins Dan leaves for a tip and adds another quarter. Then he rises and offers his arm to Pearl, "Shall we go, Miss Wealstone?"

[Cearlan]

Pearl links in with Karl and giggles.

"Why certainly Mr. Werner, I believe it is not too far." She leans in towards Karl a little and says quietly;

"Which with my head the way it's ponding may be a good thing!"

[Gaffer]

"Don't be shy about leaning on me, Miss Wealstone. As always, I feel in tip-top condition this morning. I think the courthouse is right across the square."

Calum looked rather doubtfully at Karl and Pearl. 'Grief,' he thought, 'Not just a potential Bosch but an "actress" as well, my ma warned me about women like her.'

Looking at the marginally more reassuring Dan, Calum thought provisioning thoughts.

"Can I suggest the sort of thing we might need if this were a Dig? Torches, a shovel or two, some rope, a pick-axe perhaps?" He suggested to Dan.

[ImpInTraining]

Dan nodded to Calum, "I plan on covering every aspect so yes, shovels and the like are a great idea. With Karl's provisions from home, as well as some of my own, we have almost everything we need... but I still want to make sure we are fully prepared with enough supplies to last us a week. If it stretches beyond that, we'll send someone out shopping... but I'm sure we'll have our conclusion by then."

[andyw666]

Responding to Dan, Calum says: "I have to tell you that I don't believe in ghosts. That is not to say that there isn't something unexplained going on, but I am confidant that modern scientific principles will determine whatever it is."

OOC: Calum will suggest the following items be bought for the party, being an archeologist at heart:
2 shovels
1 pick-axe
1 good rope
4 torches
2 hunting knives
Notebooks, pens and rulers etc for making plans of the house
A good map of the city

OOC: Please start your posts with your character's name in Bold. It's easier to remember who's who that way. Thank you.

It may also be beneficial to establish a meeting place and time if you ever want to find yourselves again The party will continue in separate threads after these messages...

<ooc - I take it you mean what Americans refer to as flashlights? How about a lantern as well, carbide or kerosene.>

[Gaffer]

Karl Werner

At the door to the restaurant, Karl pauses and calls back to Dan and Calum, "Shall we meet back here at 1:00 for lunch?"

[zielonobrody]

ooc: I've seen people call them electric torches on here from time to time. perhaps it was called the flashlight later? who knows...

[andyw666]

OOC: Yeah, sorry, my mistake. I meant the electric, battery operated type. In Australia, it's a torch, in the US it's a flashlight. translational error.

On a more serious note, I think the destinations of the two groups are back to front. Weren't Dan and Calum off to provision while Pearl and Karl did the nerd-work at the library?
