"Nik must have had the book, which means it's probably with Alzis now. I hope so, anyway-- the Macalistar must be crawling with first responders and media by now, and it might be difficult to get back into it. I hope we don't have to deal with that on top of all this!"
OOC: If Vanessa does want to go alone Jose will protest but ultimately agree to it. But he's made it clear he'd prefer to go,a psychology roll or just good sense tells vaenssa he likely feels some responsibility for Nik getting killed. |
Club Apocalypse is busy, but Vanessa (And Jose if he accompanies her) are waved right in when they show up. Inside the foyer waits Megan Brennan, the woman who had first greeted the agents last time they were here. She's wearing a red cocktail dress and looks smug and self assured, as if the universe has righted itself.
"Good evening, agents. Mr. Alzis has been expecting you. Follow me, please."
She leads them across the dance floor and up the stairs to the second floor, right to Alzis' office. Opening the door, she guides them both in.
Nik Siilasvuo's dead body lays out on the carpet. It's a grizzly scene; part of his head is missing, and blood and brain matter have pooled next to him on the ground. His firearm is discarded a few feet away.
"Good evening," Stephen Alzis says, offering a polite, empty smile. "We have much to discuss, so why don't you have a seat. Please excuse the mess, but I felt it best to illustrate the unique situation we now find ourselves in. Can I have Ms. Brennan bring you a drink?"
OOC: Seeing Nik's body requires a san roll, 1/1d6. It's Helplessness, which Vanessa is hardened to, so she would normally take minimal. But given Vanessa worked with Nik on this from the start if you'd prefer to roll for san loss here that's fine as well. |
