IC: Ch 4e: Back to the museum round 2

[Papa Gateau]

Ben,I didn't click the button for Richard - I think your comment should be directed at one of the other players. No offense taken :)

[DetectiveSocks]

OOC,To be frank Ben, sometimes you'll have a spoiler up exclusively for somebody, then the next post would have no clear reference to their respective player; unless, you'd read that player's spoiler to understand the context. You just did that a few posts ago with [b]Dr.Vendetta[/b].[quote="BenTheRat"]You see a couple come in a few minutes after you and find a seat on the opposite side of the restaraunt. Soon after a man by himself comes in with a bag slung over his shoulder, he grabs a table 2 over from yours. . Richard,make a spot hidden check[/quote] [quote="BenTheRat"]Everything looks completely normal.[/quote] Please, if you really want something exclusive, left relevant for a player, leave them in spoiler buttons. Though, it hasn't really stopped me from reading them :roll:. I'll go stand in the corner now.

[BenTheRat]

OOC POST,Papa, you are correct, that should not have been targeted at you, typo from going to fast. And Yes I should have put that post in a button for Richard. So I'll take full responsibilities for these. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Jordie felt what she knew wouldn't amount to much with the investigation. After all, it was a housecleaning job so some poor fools will have to call it home someday. However, Jordie was no French maid, she's the kind who leaves messes behind and take admired antiques into better hands. The house had a history thicker than a phonebook, and Jordie felt more comfortable knowing less then she needs to know. Though, some mysteries had her craving for more, "Seems our albino friend Mr.Law has been a pretty busy fellow in town lately. Something tells me he's part of this cute cult from The Chapel of Contemplation something or another. Warren and I might've saw him at the grounds there with, or even one of his friends. Nobody goes to an empty lot for no reason, and I think our albino fellow was there for something important. After it's explosive makeover, the structures fell but I think the foundation of the basement are still there. If we're going to the house tonight, I'd like to go to the Chapel grounds first. Would rather play with a full deck."

[DrVendetta]

Richard chimes in to Jordies comment about the Chapel lot "You saw the albino with someone else today? I would like to hear more on that but I like that idea of going to the old Chapel lot for a close look as I have not been to that site yet."

Richard waits a moment to see if anyone else is going to give any input, when no one speaks up he continues "I am still very interested in where Corbitt was buried at since I could not find any record of where this ended up taking place at. I mean are we going to find a grave in the basement of the house? Just because the court said it couldn't be done doesn't mean it wasn't done, and why was it so important to him to be buried there in the first place? Then again if the police were keeping a close eye on the house maybe they, being the Chapel cultist, buried him in the basement of the Chapel. Remember the original charge against the Chapel was for kidnapping maybe they were trying to resurecte our friend Mr Corbitt and needed some bodies as part of there vodu cult ritual. I am convinced that Corbitt was a part of the Chapel, I just don't have a feel for what his connection was, was he a follower or a leader? "

Charleswaves over a waiter. "Let's order some food, shall we?"

Once everyone has ordered, Charles says, keeping his voice as low as possible, "Well, I think there's no help for it: we will have to check out both the house and the Chapel. I continue to think, however, that doing so at night sounds exceedingly unwise."

[DetectiveSocks]

"Haste makes waste," Jordie draws out an exhaustive breath, "There sure is a lot of spooky monkey talk surrounding this house." Leaning on the table, Jordie rests her forehead on the palm of her hand and slowly closes her eyes. Some black coffee would be perfect to wake her out of her spell.

[Papa Gateau]

"Well, I'm happy to investigate both the house and what's left of the chapel - as it appears our friendly albino is interested in both."

"Also, does any one know what a 'pognus' is? I sure as hell don't

OOC,Occult[45]: 90 fail http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4233528/

I still think the best place to research some of this stuff - the yellow king, the chapel of whatever, the pognus...all this stuff is at the museum. The professor is bound to have tons of reference books and stuff on all this.

You know, didn't he say that first night something like 'I feel strange about this one, it's like an old ghost returning'? Like he has already dealt with this or something like it? I bet he must have something in his library that can help us find out what's going on

Sonny stops talking as the waitress brings food to the table "Man that smells good! Man I's so hungry my belly thinks my mouth is on strike!

[Occigon]

"Talking to the professor might be a good idea - if we can find him. Alas, both he and Mrs. Patton seem to have gone to ground," muses Charles. Casting a concerned look at Jordie, he calls over a waiter. "Can we get some coffee over here for the lady?"

[BenTheRat]

The waiter comes over and says, "Yea just one second." and scurries away. A few minutes later returns with a cup of black coffee sets it down and runs off. The Restaraunt is filling up and almost every booth or table is occupied. It seems the Cow Tongue is particularly popular.

[DrVendetta]

Richard speaks up "Yes I believe that the Proffesor could help Sonny, but his library does us no good if we do not have a list of what he has, where it is stored, or how to find it. I am ok with using the information there but we will need Ms Patton at a minimum to make checking there useful"

[DetectiveSocks]

Jordie looks up from her daze, "'Pognus of the one who cannot be named, is what that knife is called. Rubbing her eyes in, Jordie sits herself up and says, "I believe the Professor said he was out of town, so we'll have to ask Ms.Patton for an extra hand on this."

[DrVendetta]

Richard sits back in his chair reveiwing the diner again and all its new patrons wondering why it is so crowded right now.

Ben,here is another spot hidden roll for the diner and the new patrons spot hidden chance = 45% roll = 83 so another failure [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4234302/[/url]. [b]Richard[/b] is also reading his memoirs for any reference to Pognus of the one who cannot be named occult chance = 10% roll = 28 so a failure on this roll as well [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4234304/[/url]

Richard ask "So did Ms Patton give any indication of when she would return Joride?"

[DetectiveSocks]

If there was a game Richard would be good at, Jordie imagine it'd be the 20-question game. Jordie felt she was being cross-examined by a defense attorney. Of what Jordie could recall from Richard's first impression, his vocab was dry and formal like cheap scotch, and his words rolled off like it came from the Phenomenological ontology textbook. A dry book filled with questions after question, that she had read to impress the cute boy in her philosophy program. It's hardly a pickup line that would impress anyone. He had that air around him, like he held a candle in the dark where everything under the sun would show it's real colour. Richard seemed to be that kind of man to leave no stone unturned, and follow through it's logic. To Jordie, she had to admit it was somewhat admirable.

She shrugged her shoulder and shakes her head; feigning a polite smile to Richard, as she let her eyes wander off into the rush hour of the evening.

[BenTheRat]

OOC Pognus,Everyone can make a roll to see if they recognize the word. I'm not going to say what its against to give you ideas. So just roll and I'll tell you if it works or not. If someone wants to roll for Harrison and Michael they can.

[DetectiveSocks]

OOC,Idea Roll? Latin? Or occult? Can somebody roll for me if everybody has rolled already? Thanks

[BenTheRat]

OOC,I'm not telling you what to roll under because if I did, I'd give it away. I know what everyone needs, just roll and who that roll is for and I'll let you know if you pass or not.

[DrVendetta]

Ben,Roll = 2 of course I roll well on something that is probably fairly meaningless lol [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4236619/[/url]

[BenTheRat]

Richard,You are pretty sure Pognus is a foreign word. Possibly Latin.

[DrVendetta]

Richard looks around at the crowded restraunt again mulling over in his mind what the groups next move should be. "So shoul we go check the Chapel grounds after we finish eating?" Richard ask of the group
