IC-Ep 1-Ghostwriter(Story/Elizabeth/Lucius/Brook/Val/Elliot)

[Mr. Handy]

Brook was oblivious, lost in her own world, but Elliot noticed something.

Spoiler:

Elliot and Valerie both noticed the Land Rover in the car park outside the Ship Inn.

Spoiler:

Story and Elizabeth almost didn't notice anything, but something at the backs of their minds alerted them that there was something off. It took them a moment to realize that it was what they weren't seeing. Glancing to the right, towards the deserted stretch of beach where the TARDIS had materialized, they noticed that they couldn't see it at all.

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth gasps, then looks to her companions to see if they have noticed it too.

[Thorn]

Brook looks to Elisabeth when she gasps. "What is it?"

[Mskatonic]

"Looks like there are quite a few travelers at the inn judging by all those cars, I hope we can get a room!" Valerie says.

[yockenthwaite]

"The TARDIS!", says Elizabeth, quietly to Brook. "It's not there!"

[Thorn]

Brook gasps and looks towards the beach where they'd parked. "What?! But....How are we gonna.....?" She shuts up and looks towards the two strangers in the car, then to Story. "You can find her, right?"

[jaysun81]

Looking at the beach Story remains silent, until Brook speaks and then he responds, "Of course..." Smiles and attempts to look unconcerned. "I always have haven't I? I'm sure it's removal was merely because of some violation of city code or some such none sense." Story glances at Valerie. "Thank you for the ride. We truly appreciate it. Good luck in obtaining a room for the night." Story looks at Elizabeth and Brook and just barely shakes his head and casually puts his index finger to his lip.

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth nods discreetly, and recomposes herself, attempting, like Story, to look unconcerned.

[Mskatonic]

"It was no problem at all, dearies. I hope you all find what you are looking for here in town and have a pleasant stay!" Valerie gave a relaxed smile, not appearing to have taken much notice of the odd conversation she heard. "But do me a favor, if you see my friend Valerie Kirby around, do let her know that I am looking for her." Valerie gives a description of the woman; "She is in her early 40's with long blond hair and blue eyes. She's a scholarly type with an athletic build. I was planning on taking a tour of the local gardens with her while we were in town. I do hope nothing has happened to her." Valerie purses her lips and looks across to the shoreline, scanning the horizon.

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

Valerie Kirby is actually in her mid-twenties. It's very young for her position, but she is a prodigy. The woman in the picture I displayed is older than that, but it was the closest one I could find to how I envisioned her.

[yockenthwaite]

"Yes we will," says Elizabeth to Valerie. "I, too, hope that she is ok."

[Mskatonic]

"Are you all going to spending some time in Dunwich or are you planning on moving on? I do hope to visit the museum while we are here. Have you been there yet?" Valerie asked.

[jaysun81]

"We went by there earlier though it was open. However, we're hoping to hop in for a bit." Story smiles.

Spoiler:

Is the car still driving or has it parked?

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

At this point, Valerie can have parked outside the inn if that's where she wants to stop.

[Mskatonic]

Spoiler:

yes I'll park the car by the inn

[Thorn]

Brook slides out of the car, and stands waiting for the others to come out. She looks concerned towards the beach, letting her fingers grip the TARDIS key in her pocket tightly.

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth follows Brook, grateful to have the chance to stretch her legs after the squeeze in the car.

[jaysun81]

Story climbs out of the car and glances at Brook, then Elizabeth. After a moment he turns and looks in the direction from which they came hoping to see see how far off Lucius was.

[Mr. Handy]

Lucius was not far away. In the time they had taken to park and get out of the car, he had started catching up to them and would reach them shortly.

Spoiler:

Feel free to rejoin the others, Lucius.

[Mskatonic]

Valerie sits in the drivers seat of the parked car. She reaches for her handbag and places it on her lap and then takes the key out of the ignition. "I suppose we should try and check into the Inn, ey, Elliot?"
