IC-Ep 3-Trail of Madness(Everyone)

'I'm sure I could arrange for an ambulance from the sanatorium' says Anna.

OOC,Just going to wait to see what everyone thinks before doing any injecting - it is risky

"You know best, I'm sure." Phyllis says to Archie. "I'd feel better staying above ground with Mrs Exeter though, just to be sure. You do what you need to do dear." She says to Anna, "I'm just going to have a quick look round downstairs.

Phyllis returns to the basement room for a quick rummage. She's had plenty of experience going through old things for charity and often spots a hidden gem.

Phyllis looked around the basement. Almost everything but the mattress looked like it belonged here and had probably been here before Catherine Exeter had used it to hide. There was a brown paper bag containing biscuits next to the mattress, some of which had already been eaten judging from the crumbs, and there was a hooded electric torch beside it similar to those some of her friends had. Underneath the mattress, she found a book tucked away. It had a few hundred pages, and the writing on the cover and inside was in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In spite of the ancient language, the book itself probably wasn't more than a decade or two old.

[Snapper]

Archie considers Anna's suggestions. "I think your plan of medicating Mrs Exeter seems reasonable in the circumstances. And then get her back to the sanatorium and Eugene to hospital."

[Mephistophilis]

Anna draws up some sodium amytal to administer to Catherine Exeter. 'I will give her a hypnotic dose, enough to put her out for up to eight hours. When I've administered it I'll need someone to stay here with her while I go to the church to request an ambulance from the sanatorium. She might be a little...disinhibited for a few seconds so you may need to help me restrain her.'
Looking at Benjamin she adds 'while I'm away please make sure she's breathing, I expect her to still be alive when the ambulance arrives. I will also call for an ambulance for Eugene from the church'.

OOC:   Uh oh!

[Mr. Handy]

Anna injected Catherine with the sedative. She struggled briefly, but Anna was strong enough to restrain her with Benjamin's help. After a little while, he eyelids drooped shut and her breathing slowed, though not dangerously so.

[Pastiche]

"Sure, I'll keep an eye on her. She's allowed to breathe, but if she starts causing trouble again, I won't hesitate to use my trusted scissors!"

[Mephistophilis]

'I'm off to the church' says Anna, visibly buoyed by the apparent success of the injection. 'I'd appreciate if someone could come with me. I'm still a little apprehensive about wandering the streets on my own, even with Mrs Exeter in custody. We can pick up my car on the way back.'

Phyllis stomps back up the stairs.
"That should make things a bit easier." She says as she sees Catherine Exeter. " Look, I found this book; it looks quite new but it's got this funny writing in it, looks like that exhibition at the museum; Egyptian is it?" She holds it up for anyone who might be more knowledgeable than herself.

[Snapper]

Archie peers at the writing with interest.

Benjamin, also being fascinated by old books, peeks over Archie's shoulder.

Shaken by seeing Catherine again, Elizabeth nevertheless pulls herself together, relieved by Anna’s actions. “Let me have a look too,” she says, as she comes back up the stairs. “I studied a little archaeology as part of my history study.” She peers intently at the curious volume.

OOC:   Sorry

[Mr. Handy]

When Elizabeth grabbed the book, the binding came out, and all of the pages scattered all over the ground. Then a wind picked up and blew them away at high speed.

Elizabeth Young,[b]Elizabeth[/b] is able to read the Egyptian hieroglyphics thanks to the gift of languages she got from traveling in the TARDIS, but making sense out of them would have been another matter.

[yockenthwaite]

“Oh no!” cried Elizabeth. She tries to see if she can grab any of the pages before it’s too late.

[aine]

"Butterfingers!" Phyllis quickly tries to spear some pages with her umbrella before they blow away.

[Mr. Handy]

The pieces of paper blew away before Elizabeth could chase after them to grab them, but Phyllis did manage to stab one of them through with her umbrella's tip before it could escape.

[yockenthwaite]

"Oh I'm sorry!" says Elizabeth. "Well done on getting one of the pages though." She shakes her head, frustrated with her clumsiness.

[Snapper]

Archie nods to Anna. "I would be honoured to accompany you."

[aine]

Phyllis carefully pulls the page off her brolly. "Now, who wants to look after this? It's no good to me; I'm not the historical type."
