IC: Scene 3 - The meeting

An old house is shrouded in dark rumours and fearful whispers. Its past residents have all had grisly experiences in there, and the few which are able to speak of it will not. Now, pulled in by the promise of money, several investigators try to find the house's dark secret.

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?"

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!"

"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.

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."

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.>

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?"

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

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?
