IC-Ep 2-Breaking and Entering?(Everyone else)

[jaysun81]

Story whispers back to Elizabeth, "I imagine quite well actually as I've heard no gun shots or commotion."

[Shelfunit]

Charles looks around, and asks "I'm going to head upstairs, and take a look around, anyone else coming?", before climbing the stairs, doing so a quietly as he can, remembering from some old issue of 'weird tales' he had read in his younger days that there were never good things behind doors at the top of a staircase...

Elizabeth nods in response to Story's comment, and goes back to her hiding place.

OOC,sorry for delay.

Charles headed upstairs. The upstairs hallway went straight ahead for a short distance, where it ended in a closed door. It also went just a few feet to the right, where there was another closed door. From there the hallway turned right again, running back toward the front of the house before ending in a third shut door. A wooden railing separated that stretch of the corridor from the stairs.

Phyllis and Maggie joined Doris in the kitchen. "Fresh out of crows, I'm afraid," said Doris with a grin. "I've eaten crow before, when I've made a mistake. Well, let's see what we've got to work with. Not much, I'm afraid. Rationing, you know. I can bake a pretty good Woolton pie. Still have enough veggies."

Benjamin went outside and sat on a nearby bench, watching the sun begin to set.

Elizabeth Young,From her hiding place, [b]Elizabeth[/b] could see an air raid warden, bespectacled and in his fifties, start to patrol down the alley. He glanced up at the window in which [b]Seamus[/b] had appeared and frowned. "Oh, bloody hell!" he muttered, turning around and walking briskly back the way he had come.

Story,[b]Story[/b], please roll Listen.

"Story, I've got to warn them - there's an air raid warden about. I'm going into the house ..." Elizabeth whispers to her friend, and moves towards the house, aiming to go in to warn the others, following the route that she'd seen the others take to enter the building. She'd like to wave to Seamus, but he's probably not going to come back to the window, or see her. This may be the best bet.

[Mr. Handy]

Elizabeth slipped in through the back door and found herself in the study, where she had been before with Story and Brook searching for Lucius and Grit. The doors down here were closed, and she heard nothing behind them, so the others had presumably gone upstairs. She went up and found herself in the dining room, where she saw Anna waiting. Seamus was rummaging around in the kitchen, and Charles was nowhere to be seen.

Benjamin Klein,As [b]Benjamin[/b] sat on the bench, he saw an air raid warden, bespectacled and in his fifties, round the corner and start to walk purposefully down the street.

[yockenthwaite]

"There's an air raid warden nearby, who looked interested in the house," says Elizabeth, out of breath after her dash into the house. "I think you all need to get out of here as quickly as possible."

Phyllis walks back to the parlour to tell Benjamin his supper is ready, when she finds he is not there and the front door is open she joins him on the front step,
"Mr Klein, your supper is almost ready! Aren't you cold sitting here?"

[Pastiche]

Benjamin saw the air raid warden coming down the street. He was not really sure about his intentions, but he thought it safe to try and ask him for more information.

"Greetings, officer! Everything is alright I assume? I hope that these air raids stop soon..."

[DrkRoxas]

"What do we have here?!" Seamus said as he saw Elizabeth entering the dining room.

"Any luck on your side? We're swamped here" he said with a crooked grin on his face.

[Mr. Handy]

Phyllis Cruckshank/Benjamin Klein,"You and me both, mate," said the warden, tipping his tin hat to [b]Benjamin[/b]. "Just some fool breaking blackout regulations. You'd think people would know better after yesterday. Well, I'd better straighten them out before the Jerries decide to pay us a return visit." He turned away from [b]Benjamin[/b], apparently completely oblivious that he was in a sense a Jerry himself, and turned up the walk to the [b]Steadmans[/b]' house.

[Pastiche]

"Well, at least it's not yet fully dark, otherwise it would have been much worse!". Realising what's going on, Benjamin tries to delay the warden as much as possible.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,[b]Benjamin[/b], please roll Fast Talk.

[aine]

"Oh! What did happen yesterday? Mr Er...?" Phyllis stands as close as she can to the Steadman's wall so that it would be very rude for the warden to pass her by. "I'm Mrs Cruikshank. Phyllis." She smiles encouragingly.

[Mr. Handy]

Phyllis Cruckshank/Benjamin Klein,"[b]Bernard Talmadge[/b], ma'am," said the warden, tipping his hat to her as well. "Why, the air raids, of course. I'm rather surprised you hadn't noticed. If you'll excuse me, I've work to do." [spoiler][b]Phyllis[/b], you may also roll Fast Talk if you wish to try to delay him.[/spoiler]

"Oh Mr Talmadge, Bernard, I meant anything particular to last night; you must have heard about the strange beast that's roaming the streets, or so they say, and that poor girl that got attacked too. I know you must see some awful sights on your rounds but that just about beats them all." Phyllis smiles encouragingly at the warden.

Elizabeth grins as Seamus speaks but then looks more serious. "You need to leave the house now. There's an air raid warden nearby who looks interested in it, and as though he may be coming here. Right now!"
