Spending Luck to find something out would be contrary to Des’ rather aloof approach…

Re: Statement 2: New Row
Those of you who failed your Sense Vestigia roll only sense the standard background vestigium of central London (pain, joy, sweat, tears, and something that sounds very much like a sheep bleating forlornly).
Down the stairs lies the basement. Its main section runs beneath part of the upstairs’ central section. On the far wall, a security door leads out to a staff area. Two spurs mirror those on the ground floor; both have fire exit doors leading into a stairwell that emerges on the ground floor opposite the main stairwell. At the bottom of the stairs, to the right, is a till point - this must be the one Warwick Anderson used to call the emergency services.
Just beyond the till, between it and the door to the staff area, lies the cookery section, where Anderson was attacked. The art section is located in the right-hand spur (as you look at the drawing). The photography section is behind this in the left-hand spur.
Saffron points to a large, disorganised pile of books in the middle of the cookery section. The mess appears to have originated from five shelves in the art section.
"There. That's where Warwick was standing."
She turns to, looking somewhat concerned.
"Are you alright? You've gone very pale."

OOC: Everyone please make an observation check. |

Observation (60%): |
"I'm... fine. Just thought I smelled something... odd." Izzy looks at her fellow investigators to see if they sensed anything as well, studying their faces to see if any of them register the same kind of reaction as she did. She then looks up at the camera behind the till.
"Have you checked the CCTV from that thing?" she asks Saffron, pointing up. "Or have you passed on the footage to the officers who were on scene?"

Re: Statement 2: New Row
Saffron frowns at Izzy’s question.
“The CCTV footage should still be on the computer, but it’s company property. Plus there are privacy issues. I’m not sure I can let you look at it.”
At Skipper‘s question, her frown deepens.
“I don’t know much about the building’s history, except it’s a couple of shops knocked through. I suppose there’s something on the internet maybe.”

OOC: Okay, you have a number of options: to persuade Saffron to let you check the CCTV, I need a Social roll. To look up the building’s history on your smartphone, it’s a Research roll. Additionally, those of you with magical training would do well to recall what you’ve learned about ghosts/poltergeists, and how they are attracted to magic… |

Hard success! |
She speaks in an apologetic tone, trying to find a rapport with Saffron to gently persuade her to come around to the same point of view.

OOC: Oops, I should’ve said you could have a bonus die if you show your warrant card. Not that you need to this time! |

Re: Statement 2: New Row
"By the way, ghosts...real ghosts, anyway...are actually attracted to magic. I heard Abigail talking about how they set up a werelight as a sort of ghost trap in the subway. It doesn't really trap them like in Ghostbusters. It was more of a bug being attracted to a bug zapper. Without the zap, of course."

Re: Statement 2: New Row
At the mention of ghosts, Des’ ears pricked up, not that that affected her outward demeanour of bored indifference.
She wandered deeper into the store, looking around the shelves.

Leo caught up with Izzy and nodded. "Yes, I believe that would satisfy that requirement, if you can find it," he said reassuringly to Saffron.

OOC: Are you talking about magic out loud and in front of Saffron? |

OOC: OOPS. Yes, it appears that I did. Probably won't go over well with the governor, will it? If possible, I will attempt to downplay that, depending on how she reacts. |
