Chapter 0: Introduction (Cleveland)

"Hell in Texas" finds our team of Global News Service investigative reporters recovering from the catastrophic results of their previous adventure in their homebase of Cleveland. Despite the addition of a few new members to their "Scoopy Gang," there doesn't seem to be many stories developing. Things have literally died down in Cleveland.

The group gets wind of a possible story out of east Texas. A lurid suicide, a provocative Halloween haunted house, and hints of police corruption? Sounds like an easy bonus for the taking.

Taking Geraldine's hand again, Sweet, sweet Geraldine. Leaving you behind will be the most difficult task of all...Noble heads out leaving the melodic tune of Air Supply's "Goodbye" echoing in her ears as he leaves the room.

"My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me..."
OOC:   Sing-30: 1d100 56. That's a palpable miss.

"Buttercup, I'm glad you still have your day job."
OOC:   Noble's Library Use roll is what would be used to find the info. Computer Use is more programming or accessing backdoor networks. Since he failed the Library Use, you'll have to use more flight time to check again. This might interfere with some of the plans you've made with co-workers, flight attendants, or Polynesian grandmothers.

Of course, other people could attempt rolls. :roll:

Now I get the mile high club reference from the other day. Stuart doesn't have anything unusual. His suit is slightly less rumpled, he generally travels well anyway.

OOC:   I just had Noble roll both, because I was unsure which you might want. That way, I wouldn't have to wait for a response...roll the other...wait for a response...etc.

Of course, "other people could attempt rolls" hint, hint.

After boarding the plane, Hannah gets comfortable in her seat.

With Noble sitting directly behind her, and some of the others in rows further behind, she notices that the neighboring seat is empty.

Along comes a person to sit in the seat. It appears to be a middle aged priest.
OOC:   Don't get alarmed, Jeff. I'm sure he's not into your phrenology... ...because that would be weird.  
You think he's a priest because of his black suit and white collar. His hair is salt and pepper, but the salt definitely has the advantage.

He has a case of carry on luggage that he stows in the overhead bin, and what appears to be a bible in his hands.

As he sits next to you, you feel like there is something familiar about him, but he also kind of creeps you out.
OOC:   Orion, have Hannah attempt a Spot Hidden roll. She'll need to make a hard success, so you'll need to roll equal to or less than half her skill.  
He looks you up and down, and back up again.

He whispers to you, "Hey little lady, have you heard the Word of God?"

Jacob is in his seat looking around, sees the man talking to Hannah and says "Oh God, not another priest, the last one that I encountered didn't fair to well."
OOC:   Neither did the one before that, but that was Barney not Jacob

It does appear that Feltch has missed the Scoopy Team's flight. He probably was too busy watching Austin Powers; The Spy Who Shagged Me.
For Noble's Eyes Only,Yes - you confirm that he was watching an Austin Powers marathon
Hopefully he'll make the next flight.

Spoiler:
The FIRST thing you notice is that the priest is carrying a bible with him. Upon further inspection, it is The Book of the Passover Angel.

Hannah
Hannah looks over at the priest realizing that it is Feltch and says in a very confused and annoyed voice, "Feltch, what are you doing? Can we please just get this over with." She looks around at the others on the plane for an explanation.
OOC:   Todd is always playing dressup :roll:

"I see you have been touched by sin little lady. It is not too late! You can still be saved. Everything you need to know is right here in this big little book." He holds up the Church of the Passover Angel bible.

"It is not unusual for a pretty young innocent such as yourself to suffer from sins of the flesh.... Silver-tongued charlatans selling temporary pleasures; greasy, sweaty old men promising riches beyond your wildest dreams.... There are so many temptations. You ARE still pure in mind, body, and spirit, right?"
OOC:   Hah! As if!!!!!  
"No worries! I can help you rediscover and follow the true path to salvation! Hallelujah!"

Felch plays up his role as a traveling priest visiting Angelina County for a first hand account on how to put the fear of God back into the flock.

The priest shakes his head sadly...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk....Lucifer must be deep inside you...."

The priest appears to quietly spend the rest of his flight in contemplation....
