[IC - MEXICO] Local Connection

A decade ago, a band of occult investigators battled against the summoning of an ancient and monstrous evil. They failed. Now you must piece together the puzzle and finish what they could not. The stakes are high, and so is the price to pay. Can you do it?

"It's enough of a problem that people may remember seeing you," says Holly. "It will have to be you, though, as you're the only one of us who speaks Spanish. But yes, let Cam make sure it's clear first."

Huang Yan nodded amicably. "I see your reasoning. However, my Spanish isn't...how do you say it, excepcionalmente bueno. Senõra, I barely get by when it comes to the more complex stuff. I've only been in Mexico for three years."

Ian Morin

Ian lights a cigarette and looks around, searching for any suspicious movements around the car and the post office. He's been quite lately, probably due to his "episodes", but he's trying to catch up. "Well, Mr. Yan, it surely sounds excepcionalmente bueno to me." He says with a smile.

As Cameron enters the post office, he scans the room, trying to look like a tourist who is deciding where he needs to go. He pays careful attention to the occupants.

Cam doesn't notice anything strange. Just a normal post office on a busy working day.

Cameron returns to the car.

"It looks clear. Huang Yan, I'll come back in shortly after you enter and watch your back. Remember the box details and try not to take too long. Grease a few paws if you need to, but you already know how it works don't you? Let's go."

Huang Yan nodded with confidence, and went towards the post office.
OOC:   Do I also need to make a sense trouble check?

Instinctively, Huang Yan had scanned his surroundings in case there's anything suspicious within the Post Office that he would need to watch out for. He walked in with a confident swagger and a sunny smile.
Sense Trouble,[dice]0[/dice] I'll add 1 point from the points pool to the result.

Cameron waits a couple of minutes and then returns inside the post office. Keeping a surreptitious eye on Huang Yan, he picks a postcard from a rack and locates a spot where he can watch the location of the boxes. He begins to feign writing a message.

"¡hola! I'm here to enquire after a P.O. Box under serial code PO1629. I don't suppose any of you mind giving some more information to your paying customer, eh?" Huang Yan said, wriggling his eyebrows with an astounding dexterity as he approached an employee.

The man looks with a bit of surprise at the strange chinese man in front of him as he answers: "Well senõr, we can't really disclose information to just anyone, but of course, paying customers are a different matter", he says with a particular emphasis on the word paying.

Huang Yan gently slid over a stack of banknotes valuing at around $8. He looked at the man with a small smile and said, "Say, would this be enough to compensate your time?"

The man widens his eyes as he sees the money, then quickly makes it disappear inside a pocket. "Box 1629,
you said? Let me check... Yes, it is rented by Mr. Jonathan Brooks of Luz Recording Company. We have a forwarding address here: 33 Morelos Avenue, Coyoacán".

Spoiler:
The address is that of the abandoned Luz Records offices.

Huang Yan quickly scribbled down the notes, made a tiny nod, and left through the front door.
