Re: Percy Marmont
Luke nods over to the old man at the table, "What's he having?"
Bruno approaches the couple, thinking that they don't match the description of the rest. He offers a hand. "Bon jour," He says, "My name is Bruno Kirby. I was told that I would meet a lovely woman and an escort, who would have questions for an old, if irratic man. I was further told that they would be seeking the company of a certain antiquarian and have need of some.... ahh... lubrication to help the man speak? "
(OCC- shall Bruno post in the other thread?)

Re: Percy Marmont
OCC- I think Kubuki was referring to Bruno.
IC- Luke puts the coins on the table and asks the manager. "Where can a guy get a bottle and a girl around here."

Re: Percy Marmont
OOC: yes, i was talking about Bruno, the others stay here.
The manager looks annoyed to you.
-Outside you will see plenty of girls. There’s is a small place at the end of the streets that serves liquor, "the old sailor".

Re: Percy Marmont
getting edgy and impatient Percy approaches the old man.

"Hello" he says. "We're with Miss Valentine the journalist. I believe you're expecting us?"

Re: Percy Marmont

-I don't know what youre talking about! I ain't done nothing! Just leave me alone!
-I don't know what youre talking about! I ain't done nothing! Just leave me alone!
Re: Percy Marmont
"Miss Valentine the journalist" says Percy again, a bit louder. "you know, about the robberies"
"oh dear" he says, turning to the others. "perhaps we've got the wrong person"

"Percy, let the Lord handle Miss Valatine and wait with patience for His will to be done."

Re: Percy Marmont
At that exact moment, Alyssa enters as one of the two men who accompanies her holds the door open for her. She smiles and waves at Percy, then walks over to him. "Hello, Mr. Marmont," she says. "It seems you've gotten here a little early."

Re: Percy Marmont
Bruno sees Luke at the desk. Luke, seeing them enter, gets up, takes the key from the manager and says, "Thanks for the tip." Then he leaves he waits for the girl to enter and then passes Bruno without comment.
Outside, Luke moves to a position out of view but near the door. He wants to stay close. If there is a scream or a shot, he can go in. Besides, he knows Bruno is a better people person.
Bruno smiles at Alyssa as she enters. "You know, it might be better if I join you. This way I might be able to ask the questions I need to."
Bruno's eyes pass over the joint taking it in and tries to get a read on the old man.

Re: Percy Marmont
"Please do," says Alyssa. She also casts her eyes around the room alertly and sizes up the old man, but learns nothing new. "Hello, I'm Miss Alyssa Valentine. Are you Jack by any chance?"
[OOC: I'd already rolled Psychology about Jack when I spoke to him on the phone and got a special success then, but I figured I'd roll again to see if I learn anything new. The roll failed, so I guess I don't.]

Re: Percy Marmont
"Ah, Miss Valentine, how nice to see you again. I thought this might be the chap we're looking for, but he seems to be a bit cagey. perhaps i've got the wrong fella.."Mr. Handy wrote:"Hello, Mr. Marmont," she says. "It seems you've gotten here a little early."
he wiats to see what response Alyssa gets from the old man.

Re: Percy Marmont
-What is this? You were suppose to came alone, not with all the town with you!-says the old man
-Do not worry, Miss Valentine was just a little preoccupied that someone in this place may misunderstood her presence. Do you know a more private place where we may talk?-says the detective
-And bringing all those people should help? Well, we can go to my room. I share it with another guy, but he has already leaved. Did you bring the payment?- he says with a sudden smile

Re: Percy Marmont
"I'm sorry," says Alyssa. "You never said you wanted me to come alone, and I thought there was no harm in bringing a colleague. Mr. Marmont and his friends are here because they have the money - and a little something extra I think you'll like." She speaks to Detective Stuckey. "Shall we go to his room, then?"

Re: Percy Marmont
The old man takes the stairs. You all hear the noise of the old wood. He enters then a corridor and the smell is even worst. He opens in a room (whose door is already half broken), full of garbage, old bottles, and a couple of blankets in the floor and says:
-Came, what are you waiting?
-Came, what are you waiting?

Re: Percy Marmont
Bruno offers a smile to Alyssa. He also casts his eye about the place but sees nothing although his nose clenches at the noisome odors that seem to ooze from the accumulated garbage. Tries to read it for what it says about the man's personality, what kind of a man he is, what kind of lies he tells.
No doubt a drunk and a wretch, hoping to squeeze a few dollars from this young lady and her friends. Ah.. but perhaps not. Such people tend to move around with those likely to engage in crime. Perhaps he overhead something. Or perhaps he knows them.
Bruno is comfortable to be quiet while Alyssa speaks. He will no doubt feel more at peace talking with a woman than with him, will be more willing to offer information easy to a pretty, good natured girl who seems all earnest and well intentioned. Such women are hard to deny.
And besides, the contact is not going anywhere.
Bruno is tempted to ask him some simple questions- who he is, how long he's been here, how does he know these people. He also knows that alcohol may loosen up his tongue a bit, but too much alcohol can slur the voice. The man may be an alcoholic and would be desperate for a sip. And that is leverage. Offer the reward, but deny it until one gets paid in full. Do not let him drink so much that he forgets or lies.
But Bruno says nothing. If the girl does not ask the right questions, there will be time for more of that later.
Better that she ask her questions first. Better to see if the information comes easy.
And if the girl doesn't get her information... well..
The contact is not going anywhere, except perhaps with the cop. But in the end, the contact will return will probably return here.
Bruno knows that there is no rush. Such business sometimes requires time. Sometimes, the truth also requires a bit more... persuasion.
Bruno smiles at the girl, friendly and calm. He nods, suggesting she begin.

Re: Percy Marmont
Alyssa smiles back, concealing her distaste for the state of the room. I suppose this hotel doesn't have housekeeping, she thinks wryly. She then turns the smile on Jack. "You said on the telephone that you had information about the robbers," she begins. "Please, tell me what you know."
