Ch. 11. Paper and Ink

[Philulhu]

Professor Jackson listened to William and said, ”I’m intrigued. Come to my office at two ‘o’ clock and we’ll see what I can tell you about your symbol. Now, you must excuse me as I need to eat lunch before my next lecture.” Without waiting for an answer, she rang off, leaving William listening to the dial tone.

OOC,A couple of things... 1. Timecheck - It is 12.15pm (approximately). Is there anything you want to do before going to meet Prof. Jackson? 2. You don’t actually have a copy of the symbol, as it faded away. Would someone like to attempt a drawing of the symbol, in order to show the Prof? (I’ve temporarily hidden the image, so try to do it from memory, please ;) )

OOC,Ivy's already tried and my memory is rubbish, so I'll let someone else try.

[Philulhu]

OOC,This isn’t a in-game skill check, per se. Break out MS Paint and give it a go! ;)

[Bullfrog]

OOC,I can't draw to save my life, but I'll do it if nobody else does.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,I don't have a good enough memory. I only saw it briefly almost two weeks ago.

[Silver Priest]

ooc,Nor me, I'm afraid. All I remember is it's green. Interesting challenge Philulhu. Sadly my own art skills never progressed to coloring in the lines-- thanks Dyspraxia. :P So I doubt I'd be of much help anyway.

[Philulhu]

OOC,Thanks. It occurred to me that if we were playing around a table, it would be the sort of thing that we could do, so I was interested to see how it works virtually. Bullfrog - over to you :)

[Philulhu]

OOC,While we await Bullfrog’s creative output, is there anything you wish to do prior to meeting Prof. Jackson?

[jp1885]

“While we wait, we should find out if there have been other suspicions deaths in the area recently,” Ivy states.“Anything in the press, or police reports.”

[Philulhu]

Alex,a successful Know roll will tell you whether you have heard of anything like that locally.

[Bullfrog]

OOC,Behold the symbol, as half-remembered and poorly drawn by yours truly. Or maybe not, as I don't know how to post images here. Edit: image may be finally working. [img]https://imgur.com/a/xurR1vj[/img]

[Philulhu]

OOC - Bullfrog,Thanks! :) I think the reason your image isn’t showing is because it doesn’t have a format e.g. .jpg. Can you try posting it again or posting the link and I’ll edit for you.

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes, that's a good idea," says William.

Alex,Alex cannot recall any recent cases of a similar nature.

[Silver Priest]

"No cases like that that I recall hearing about," Alex reports. "It would seem this professor is our best option at the moment. Seeing as Mr. Preston here knows her indirectly, it may be best if we speak to her together to learn more.

[Bullfrog]

OOC,I couldn't get the image to display, but it works if you open it in a new tab.

Lawrence searches for a piece of paper to copy down the symbol on, taking a pencil out from his pocket to write with.

OOC:   Here’s Bullfrog’s design.

R.C. Memorial Hall, Arkham University, Arkham, Mass.

A porter showed them through to Professor Jackson’s office, where the Professor waited for them. A small, dark-haired woman, she greeted them as they entered and invited them to take a seat.

After a round of introductions, she smiled and, looking at them over her half-moon glasses, said, ”Well, how can I help you? A symbol you want me to identify, is that right?”

[Mr. Handy]

"That's right," says William. "The original drawing faded, but one of my friends has reproduced it."
