[IC - SCENE 2] The Tea Room

September, 1915. On the western front, battle rages less than 100 km from Paris. Paris, the beautiful. Paris, the proud. Paris, a city on her knees. The government has fled the capital, seeking a safe haven in Bourdeaux. General Joseph Gallieni is now military governor of the city, and he faces a terrible task. There is not enough food for everyone. The city is dark at night, for fear of bombardments. Explosives and ammunitions are manufactured inside the city, sometimes resulting in terrible incidents that costs tens of lives. And this is just on the surface. Dark tales tell of monstrous, yet horribly human-like creatures, prowling through the battlefields and the graveyards, eating human flesh. Even darker tales revolve around a mysterious and incredibly powerful tome of ancient, dark magic; a tome that could destroy the balance of power between the Germans and the Franco-British coalition.
And yet, even among all this despair, human nature finds his hope. Hundreds of people arrive in the city every day: soldiers, journalists, thrill-seekers. Each one injects fresh energy into the agonizing city. Entertainment is the only thing that is not rationed - music halls, theaters and the Moulin Rouge are shining beacons of light, metaphorically if not physically. New forms of art cry out as newborn children.

Semptermber, 1915. Paris, the city of tears. A mysterious murder sets in motion a chain of events that, unknowingly to the rest of the world, will decide the outcome of the war. Millions of lives are at stake. There will be no glory for the unsung heroes, no recognition for the martyrs. A terrible power awaits those willing to use it - or seal it. What will you do? How far are you willing to go for your friends, your loved ones, your country?

"if we split the list between us we can probably eliminate a lot of these men" says Francois
OOC:   We can divest the list of anyone with a title other than Msr eg Dr etc and anyone whose address lies to far from the Latin Quarter

"Yes, good idea," says Jacques. "He will most likely be living in or near the Latin Quarter so he can be near his usual haunts, so we should start with the addresses there and work our way outwards."

You leave the cafè and head out to the Gendarmerie headquarters. There you discover that Madeleine Morvan's whereabouts are still unknown. She was seen leaving Dupont's house before the discovery of the body, after that she disappeared. They searched for her at her house, but she wasn't there. The gendarmerie has not yet issued an official search warrant, but it will probably happen before the end of the day.

Jacques requests for the address list, that is provided about an hour later. There are seven Edoard Savatier in Paris right now. One is a child of 7 years, and you can easily rule him out. Similarly, a 68-years old is not likely to be an avant-garde artist. Two others live too far away, and that leaves you with three address, one inside the Latin quartier, two more in nearby arrondissements.

Mr. Handy,They are regularly registered and haven't so far been involved in any criminal or shadowy activity - at least as far as the Gendarmerie knows.

"We can't check all three addresses at once unless two of us go by themselves," says Jacques, "so let's all go to the first address, the one in the Latin Quarter. If that doesn't pan out, we can split up into pairs to check the other two."

Silently Jean-Luc nods in agreement.
