IC-Ep 2-Stranded(Story/Elizabeth/Lucius/Brook)

[ImpInTraining]

"Mr. Baker, you seem to spend a lot of time on and around the sea. Have you ever noticed anything strange? Particualrly in the area surrounding the sunken city bits?" Lucius asked the man.

[Mr. Handy]

Zeke raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said.

Spoiler:

Everyone may roll Psychology (or Insight for Lucius).

[Mr. Handy]

Lucius was attentive when Zeke spoke.

Spoiler:

The way Zeke reacted, it seemed clear that he did know something about sea creatures - and just as clear that he didn't want to talk about them. He seemed a bit afraid.

The way Zeke reacted, it seemed clear that he did know something about sea creatures - and just as clear that he didn't want to talk about them. He seemed a bit afraid. Perhaps he didn't want to say anything where others could hear him, or simply that he didn't want to discuss the subject at all. However, his mouth did water and his eyes lit up when he mentioned having something to drink. That could perhaps loosen his tongue.

Story realizes that in order to get the information they seek he will have to dig. "I would love the chance to hit the water with you and don't worry, I'll bring a little drink along." Story smiles at Zeke then looks at his companion and says, "Perhaps when me and Zeke go fishing you all can check out the museum? Only because Mr. Baker said the boat is quite small." Turning back to Zeke he says, "You don't by chance know what happened to the blue Police box that was out there on the beach do you?"

[Mr. Handy]

Zeke shrugged. "It was there when I left the beach on my way here," he said, squinting down the beach. "You said 'was,' so I s'pose that means it ain't there any more. Odd that it would just show up on the beach out of nowhere. Odder still if it's gone. Maybe whoever put it there took it away." He shrugged again. "The pub at the Ship Inn sells some good drinks. I should be done my lunch by the time you get back."

[yockenthwaite]

"Yes we could check the museum," says Elizabeth to Story. "The boat's certainly not big enough for all of us, and doing that would be an effective use of our time, while you try fishing."

[Thorn]

"I'd rather go on the boat than to the museum, but if there's no room, I'll come along." Brook shrugs. "I can't buy any booze, though."

[ImpInTraining]

"No doubt the museum would be a bit safer," Lucius muttered to Brook. He smiled to Zeke and Story, "I suppose we should be off then."

[jaysun81]

Story leans over to Brook and says, "Did you say you have some money? Perhaps with a little something to drink Mr. Baker will open up some."

[Thorn]

Brook nods. "I have a little. Not sure what liqueur costs in 1985, but you're welcome to it." She hands him the coins she has.

[jaysun81]

Story smiles and Brook. "Thank you." Looks at his three companions and say, "I'll be sure to catch up with you all as soon as we make land fall."

[yockenthwaite]

"Ok," says Elizabeth to Story. "Good luck with the fishing!" She grins.

[ImpInTraining]

Lucius nodded with a smile to Story, but his eyes were full of concern. He wasn't sure how much they could trust this local man, or any of them for that matter. He turned to the other man and nodded, "Mr. Baker, pleasure speaking with you again. Take good care of my friend here."

That said, the Roman began to head out of the cafe.

[Mr. Handy]

Story and his companions walked back to the intersection, where he entered the inn and the rest of them continued to the museum.
