Re: January 08 - Poissy
After all of the weird bollocks that Archie has seen since the ride on the bizarre train, Archie is genuinely stunned that there doesn't appear to be any immediate and catastrophic injury to himself or his arm. He lifts it closer to his eyes so he can see the design covering the surface.
"It's awfully light," he said as he gently lifted in the air, like a butcher or postal clerk might as they attempted to guess something's weight. "And there is a design that you can't see until you're right up on it."
"Take a look," he said, holding it out so the others can see.

Re: January 08 - Poissy
Andrew peers carefully at the arm, making sure he doesn't touch it. 'I see, it is rather hard to make out...'
Re: January 08 - Poissy
Felicity also inspects the arm while taking care not to touch it.

Re: January 08 - Poissy
“It’s fascinating.” Although apprehensive, Clarence can’t help but be absorbed by the antiquity and uniqueness emanating from the arm.
Re: January 08 - Poissy
Seen up close, the material of the piece is made of rock. The surface of the arm is slightly uneven. The stone has been finely decorated with tiny repeating forms of a human body. They cover the entire surface and can only be identified by observing the piece very close under the flashlight beam. It changes color according to the strength of the light bathing it, from opalescent pastels to rich blues to inky blacks in full light. There are lugs and corresponding slots for the piece to fit with something else, most likely, the torso piece.
After a while, Christian Lorien appears. He is shocked by what he sees here underground. He is determined to inform the authorities to give a proper burial to all these bodies. He affirms that his english guests shouldn't feel obligated to take care of that unless they want to. Archie will continue to feel piece as extremely light . However, when the stone arm is placed inside a bag and one of the other investigators picks up that bag, he will feel the weight of a very heavy block of stone inside the bag.

"How was this even made?" asks Felicity. "Nobody has the ability to handcraft it with such precision. Even with modern machine tools, it would be impossible. And yet this thing is centuries old!"

“We can examine it on the train. Where do we go for the next piece?” Clarence is eager to find the pieces before their mysterious enemy does.
Re: January 08 - Poissy
"There's also the scrolls," says Felicity. "At least one of them is supposed to be in Lausanne, Switzerland."

'This form doesn't resemble anything I've seen before,' says Andrew. 'Although it does have vague echoes of pre-Islamic art. Whatever this is, it is something very alien.'
OOC: Isn't Lausanne the next stop? |

Clarence nods,
“Let’s collect our dunnage and get going.” As they leave He turns to M. Lorien,
“I have hopes you’ll be able to turn this horrible find into something more positive for your family. At the very least, I think Madame Lorien might improve her health.”

Re: January 08 - Poissy
'Thank you for your hospitality Monsieur Lorien, and I apologise deeply for the inconvenience we have caused you,' Andrew gestures to the bodies. 'We have rather urgent business in Verona and the authorities will be able to send word to us there if they need any further information about this grisly find.'
He shakes the man's hand firmly. 'And do not worry, we have not forgotten our promise to call on Mr Wellington in Lausanne. We will have plenty of time on our return journey.'
OOC: Obviously Andrew is trying to leave a false trail should anyone try to follow them. He will check the mail at the station in Verona though. He doesn't want to evade the authorities. |

"I have a feeling you and your daughter will also feel better," says Felicity. "Thank you for all your help."
