CH3-04 Down by the shore

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
After hearing the greetings he perked up a bit and when Liz asked about what he had been doing his eyes lit up. "Let me show you, come in here." Greg leads the others into his main work room. Papers are strewn around the room and hung on the walls. "Don't touch anything, its all in a specific order."
Greg will go through everything he's done.

"This is impressive," says Liz. "I don't think Maria got this far. I hope you're not as obsessed as she became. You don't have the urge to go potholing, do you?"

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
Greg was jumping from sentence to sentence with an irregular cadence, "Don't be silly, I'm just excited, this could be one of the greatest discoveries in centuries.", he picks up a picture of the statue, "This is the key, its a Rosetta stone. It has Latin, Greek, and the Verboti language all on it. Sure, I'm still guessing on some of the words and phrases. Also, I'm no linguist, we really need to get a professional in ancient languages involved."

"I can't help it if I'm silly," says Liz with a goofy grin. "Asking me not to be silly is like asking me not to breathe. We should go talk to Westerlund and let him know what you've discovered. He may know linguists who could help."

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
Even as he's speaking, Greg amends a piece of his work as he realises a better meaning to his translation
Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
"Um..." says Liz, "maybe you should take a break from this. Would you like to go out for something to eat?"

"Now who's talking crazy, I'm really not hungry. There is just too ..." He leaves the sentence off as he graps a piece of paper and furiously writes something down.

"It doesn't have to be food," says Liz. "We could go to the cinema, or get some drinks down the pub. Do you remember how when we first met you were flirting with me and I turned you down? Well, I'm starting to reconsider. Would you really rather work on this than go on a date with me? It'll still be here when you get back."

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
Greg doesn't even look back at Liz, "no thanks, I don't care for..." as he trails off he rips another piece of paper out of his notebook and began to write again.

"There's definitely something wrong with him," Liz tells Andy and Jacob. "Who wouldn't want to go out with me? I'm adorkable! Hmm...I wonder if it would snap him out of it if I snogged him?"

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
"Are you looking after yourself properly Greg?" says Jacob "We do not want you going the same way as Maria, you are getting enough to eat and at least getting some regular sleep?"

"Greg, mate... when did you eat last?" Andy asks.. "Tell you what.. why don't you explain to Liz and JAcob what you've discovered and I'll go get something to eat and drink. What do you say guys... burgers... coffee?"

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
OOC: Just a reminder there was a pile of plates outside Greg's room some of which looked relatively fresh and this is a reasonably good hotel so those plates aren't going to sit there for days - so he has at least eaten relatively recently - whether his diet is regular balanced and healthy is an entirely different matter. |
Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
"I'd prefer pizza and tea myself," says Liz.

"Tell you what, why don't we all go.. the fresh air will do you good.." he says addressing the last remark to Greg "and you can 'catch us up' with your research over coffee.. or tea."

Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
Greg ignores most of your inquiries, but when Andy mentions coffee, he perks up a bit. "A pot of coffee sounds great. Can you order some from room service?" and he goes back to his work.

"I think we should all go out," says Liz. "When's the last time you went outside, Greg?"

"That's right Greg we're all going out to get coffee, you need a break from this.." he waves his hand at the papers scattered about, "and you can bring us all up to date.. " he says smiling.

OOC: We can go on like this forever... or we can decide on a way to resolve this... I suggest an opposed roll .. an interpersonal skill vs Gregs POW (x5) - success for Greg means he's resistant to efforts to get him out of the room, otherwise he'll come (no doubt grumbling and anxious) with us. Of course it may well boil down to us trying to manhandle him out of the room ... |
Re: CH3-04 Down by the shore
OOC: Sorry, I've been rather distracted of late otherwise I would have taken a bit more control over matters when it was just batting backwards and forwards. Also, I know BenTR is rather enjoying himself at the moment so I'll eave it to him to put this into IC words. Basically, Greg is under the effects of "Feverish Research" he is so into what he's doing that the research times are halved (but he pretty much spends every waking hour researching. There is definitely a risk to this he may become so distracted that he neglects himself (eventual slow HP loss) but Greg is very strong willed so the chances of this are significantly less than most. If he was well monitored then that risk could be mitigated - remove him from the hotel and he will not be able to feverishly study. Oh and obviously it goes without saying he is translating and studying a Mythos tome with the possible hiccups this involves. |

"Come on mate, it looks like you've been cooped up in here since we got back from .." Andy starts, he doesn't name the place where Albert died and they abandoned Clay, if he doesn't say the name.. he doesn't have to think about what happened there... he shakes himself "Anyway.. you need to fill us in on what you've discovered it's obviously very important.. maybe the key to the whole damn thing. And it's also obvious that you need a break... you're a Doctor.. you know you do. Besides talking it over with us will help you get things straight in your head." Andy says in his best conciliatory tone, trying to persuade his friend to take a break.
