I need to inquire into a persons name published in the paper. You ran a story on the Carlyle expedition, I was wondering if I could get you to give name and address of the sister of the late Roger Carlyle.Raiko wrote: *** Hello New York Times. How can I help? ***

Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
Sanchez hears the receptionist pause for a moment and think.
*** I'm really sorry sir, but we're really not supposed to give out peoples' addresses. ***
*** Roger Carlyle's sister is Erica Carlyle though. She shouldn't be difficult to locate, she's very wealthy now and often appears in our society columns. Although she is a bit of a recluse, or so they say, ***
*** Have a nice day, goodbye. ***

"I doubt I'd be much help looking things up at the library, but I like to think I'm a pretty good P.I. If there's anything you all think I should look into before Jackson returns, seems I'll have the time to." Here he nods at the good Doctor Sanchez.
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
"I'll go to the library with you, Cynthia," says Amy. "I'm right at home there." She also owns a pistol, having been taught well how to use one by Cynthia. While she's a much better shot than she had been four years ago, she is still a far cry from Annie Oakley. She has a small knife, too. Ever since Peru, she has understood the value of being able to defend herself, though thankfully she has never needed to do so.

"Peachy. Let's get our stuff and then see what we can find. Maybe we can take a look at Carlyle's papers too - he must've learned something that led him to Kenya."

Dr.Sánchez winks to Marcus "of course you're our best man for exactly this kind of work. the lady's name is Erica Carlyle, high society and so forth.Silver Priest wrote: Here he nods at the good Doctor Sanchez.
Marcus do you mind tracking her down and arrange a meeting? We might even talk to her before Jackson is back, just be sure not to tell her anything about Jackson's supposed findings. Tell her we are interested in her story as we might travel to Kenya ourselves on a Archeological expedition.
And one last thing, be polite as you can, high society you know"

Marcus nods. "Sure thing, Doc. I'm not the most high class guy, but I like to think my time guarding John gave me some idea of how to talk to them. I'll see what I can do."
Unless anyone stops him, he heads to the phone as well and dials one of his friends with the police. He's worked long enough in this town to make a few contacts on both sides of the law, and is hoping to call in a few favors.

OOC: I leave the history and importance of any hypothetical contacts up to you, Raiko. Stopping my post here because I don't want to overstep. |
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
Marcus is put through to one of his NYPD contacts, Detective Michael McGrath, a buddy from the Great War. McGrath has heard of Erica Carlyle and thinks she lives outside the city. He'll call back with the address.
While Marcus is on the phone, a telegraph courier arrives with a telegram for Dr. Sánchez - he appears to know what it's about before he even reads it.

OOC: If you like, once Anatomist has posted about his telegram I can skip ahead to your dinner meetup in a few hours. Detective McGrath will have called back by then, and Cynthia and Amy will have been to the library (please make library check rolls). |
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
Amy has no difficulty digging through the periodicals, looking for what she can find out about the Carlyle Expedition and Erica Carlyle's efforts to learn its fate.

Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
Dr.Sánchez excuses himself and sits down on a nearby desk to write a letter. He show the letter before he sends it to Clark Weissler. This Eugene is quite a good man, but a little bit insisting. I hope Mr.Weissler can convince him to not send so many telegrams.Raiko wrote:While Marcus is on the phone, a telegraph courier arrives with a telegram for Dr. Sánchez - he appears to know what it's about before he even reads it.

Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
At the university library Amy and Cynthia find a number of articles about the disappearance of the Carlyle Expedition, and Erica Carlyle's journey to search for her brother.
Meanwhile Detective McGrath calls back Marcus while Dr Sánchez is writing his letter.
*** I've got the address for you Marcus. So Erica Carlyle lives at Carlyle House in Westchester Country, just outside Scarborough. It's about thirty miles upstate. ***
OOC: I counted the rolls as a team effort. |

OOC: Would you like me to move onto the evening meal, so that you're all back together? |

Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
"Thanks Mikey. I owe you a drink next time we get together. Off the record, of course." He hangs up and intends to tell the group what he found.
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
OOC: Yep, happy to move on. |
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
The group meet up at 6:30pm at a small restaurant a block south of the university.
When Amy and Cynthia enter the restaurant, the others are already inside.

Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
Atauchi had been silently puffing upon his pipe when he noticed the two young women entering the restaurant. He immediately caught the eye of Doctor Sánchez and gestured toward the entrance with a slight movement of his head. He then returned his focus upon his own thoughts and the scent of the tobacco.
Re: [IC]Chapter 1 - A Message from a Dear Friend.
"Hi! We found out a lot about the Carlyle Expedition and Erica Carlyle's search for it," says Amy, excited. She summarizes what they've discovered.
