"I don't need any help, I'll tell 'em.." she stumbled and looked a bit confused for a second. "I mean, I have to go."

The bus was pulling up.

Tobias checked the schedule and casually made a note of the route the bus was taking. He nodded politely at the woman and said. "Well, what a coincidence, I happened to be going this way as well."

Eddie digs in his pocket and takes out enough for bus fare.

The city bus pulls up and the young lady gets on showing a bus pass. You throw in the few cents and follow her on.
OOC:   Who is getting on the bus? Who is not?

Maria digs into her purse and pulls out a handful of coins. She follows the girl onto the bus, wondering how they can get her to open up about what she knows. Does she need money? She hates to hassle a stranger like this, but she wants to get answers.

"Looks like we're all heading in the same direction." Bret hops aboard and pays the driver. Taking a seat in view of the girl he pulls out his notebook and begins making notes about what he experienced in the swamp today.

Tobias quickly paid the driver and took a seat.

As everyone gets on the bus, the young woman sits in a seat so she is blocking off the seat next to her.

The bus starts up and begins driving.

Eddie also boards the bus and pays his fare. He takes a seat at the back, which allows him to see everyone on the bus.

Tobias looks out the window, trying to memorise the route the bus takes so that he could navigate to the woman’s house at a later point in time should it prove inconvenient or if he couldn’t think of a convincing lie for him to tail the woman off the bus.
OOC:   Can Tobias do a INT roll so that he knows the route the bus will take and the specific location of the woman’s house? Because I’m pretty sure he’ll fail a base-chance navigate roll, can a INT roll beforehand substitute future navigate rolls?

Everyone takes a seat, so they can keep an eye on the girl and keep track of where you are going. The young lady has opened a small book from a bag she was carrying. She occasionally glances as you and anyone can tell she is nervous.

It's not that large a town and the bus soon pulls into Haynes State College, and up to a stop near one of the dorms. She gathers her things and gets up to leave the bus.

So she's a student here, Eddie thinks. That makes sense, given her age.

Tobias followed her off the bus.

Maria

"Maybe we should hang back" she tells the remaining companions. "Let Tobias follow her and we'll follow him. We'll scare her to death if we all go together."

Bret murmurs agreement with Miss Adams. He tries to recall if anything has come up in his local newspaper work concerning the college or student activities recently.

She gets off the bus, looking behind her at who is following her and heads towards the large dorm building. She looks nervous and is walking quickly.
You see a couple other cars driving around campus, otherwise it is fairly empty at this time of night.
OOC:   Who is getting off the bus her besides Tobias?
Brett doesn't recall anything special other than a new semester started a couple weeks back.

Tobias held his knife securely in his left hand in the unlikely event that he gets attacked. As he follows the girl, he ponders on his next move and slung his backpack over his shoulder just in case he needs to use it as some sort improvised shield or if he needs to get something out of it really quickly.

Maria gets off the bus to follow Tobias.
OOC:   Perhaps we'll all disembark? I hope so.

Eddie, at the rear of the bus, is the last one off. He takes his time if necessary to make sure the girl has already entered the building before he steps outside.

You all come out of the bus and begin to follow the girl, she looks back as the bus pulls away.

She heads into the dorm building. As Tobias approaches, he sees a sign on the door. "Walden Hall - Women only beyond this point."
