[HoneyDog]

Melody & Harry,Two hours pass but there is no sign of the men from Malbray. Things continues as usual in the pub. There is nothing out of the ordinary.

[Mephistophilis]

Harry nudges Melody, 'Nice as it is avin' a drink with you in the afternoon, I think we should either call it a day and come back another time, or start asking some questions.'

[Raiko]

"You're right," replies Melody, "Should we risk just askin' the barman if he knows them?"

OOC,Sorry, can't always post at weekend.

[Mephistophilis]

Harry strolls over to the bar, 'Alright mate. I'm looking for a couple of friends of mine, rough looking fellas, work at the asylum. I was hoping to meet them here later. Have you see them about?'

Harry Fast Talk 55%,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC:   How annoying is that, hard success and I was all celebratory then I saw I'd posted it in the wrong game! Re-rolled and now I've failed

[Raiko]

ooc,[ooc]Kind of sums up our dice rolling luck in this game though.[/ooc]

Melody accompanies Harry to the bar, she waits to hear what the barman says.

[HoneyDog]

The barman shrugs, looking uninterested.

“Dunno who yer talkin’ ‘bout mate”.

He nods his head towards the room.

“This place is full o’ rough lookin’ fellas. Every day and night.”

He turns away to serve another customer.

OOC,What plans do the parties have for the rest of the day? Or would you like to move on to the next day?

[Snapper]

OOC,What Crozier would like to do is meet up with the Seekers not currently at the dodgy pub. Then with their assistance, plot murder locations on the London map, along with the weird symbol for each such location's victim. In a perfect Victorian world, this will all take place at Simpson's over tea and cakes.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,That sounds good to me.

[HoneyDog]

Crozier & ALexander & Isolde & Vic,Crozier manages to find the other companions at the Guildhall library as they are finishing their research, and suggests some high tea to refresh themselves. Retiring to the genteel surroundings of Simpson's-on-the-Strand, they begin to discuss their findings so far.

[Snapper]

Crozier:

Using tea cakes on saucers to anchor it down, Crozier unfolds his map and pulls out a pencil.

"Now, where do we know murders occurred and where is this asylum?"

"First murder, an alley off Upper East Smithfield Street, near the St. Katherine Docks..."

"Second,  narrow alley off Exmouth Street."

"Third, rail yards by Aldgate Station."

"Did anyone hear anymore about another murder today?"

[Philulhu]

Vic unfolds her morning newspaper. ”I’ve not had chance to read it yet,” she said, starting to scan the headlines.

[HoneyDog]

OOC,The murder would not have made the headlines by that point.

[Mr. Handy]

"Maybe it'll be in the evening papers," says Alexander. "We'll have to plot that murder on the map too when we get the details."

[Snapper]

Crozier:

The Captain continues his noting. "First murder had an 'X' within a circle. Second a square within a circle. The third, a 'V' within a circle."

[Mephistophilis]

Harry watches the barman's back as he walks away and shares a look with Melody. 'It's getting a bit later so we might catch them at the end of a shift if we're lucky. Another hour or two and p'raps we should call it a day?'

[Philulhu]

Vic studied the marks that Crozier had made on the map. ”These two weren’t so far apart,” she said, pointing at Upper East Smithfield Street and the Aldgate Rail Yard. ”But the second one was all the way up near Clerkenwell. Quite a hike,” she said.

[Raiko]

Melody agrees, "Yeah, if this is ther' regular pub, they'll likely turn up sooner or later."

[HoneyDog]

Harry & Melody,Roll Luck.
