ding0 is now known as Storyteller

<Victoria> BTW, Hikari was on the phone, he told me he might want to lurk a little

D1ng0 has joined #agww

D1ng0 is now known as Mycroft_Holmes

Victoria just restated T-Online, now I should have 24 hours ^_^

<Victoria> Hm... Willow is missing and Phonix...

Victoria hopes they'll think of the campaign

<Storyteller> (both mentioned they might be a little bit later..but thats okay.. I can start out with both you and Asmo

Victoria nods

<Victoria> So, how is it - do I have such an infernal SteamCar? :-)

<Storyteller> If you want...but it isn't too usefull :)

<Victoria> I want to arrive in style!!

<Victoria> I don't mind the usefulness, it's just for the looks :-)

<Storyteller> Sir Matthew are you ready ?

<Laurence> i think Sir Matthew is a little preoccupied at the moment

Storyteller grrs

<Victoria> BTW, I carry a somewhat largish handbag with me that countains an assortment of practical tools like screwdrivers, pincers, some rustical meters and stuf

Storyteller thinks that 20:00 CET is a pretty clear starting time....this really upsets my Time Tables

Asm0dai has just finished eating... he needs 3 more minutes to finish the C homework he got in college for tomorrow...

<Victoria> Well, it's the usual problem with RDs, you know. They never keep with Time Tables

Asm0dai is now known as Matthew_Deckard

Laurence is now known as Laurence_McCart

Laurence_McCart is now known as Laurence

<Laurence> (never mind last names ... it doesn't like mine that long it seems)

<Victoria> BTW, I also have a tube with SuperGlue :-)

Mycroft_Holmes has called both Sir Matthew and Lady Victory to the King George III section of the Brittish Museum.

Victoria arrives in her ultramodern SteamCars, a shingingly polished car that emits cute white clouds of smoke ...

<Mycroft_Holmes> A few hours before midnight.

<Victoria> The car give of some pooffing noises, as it dies down in front of the Museum.

Victoria looks in to mirror to check her impeccably styles hairdo and make-up, before she grabs her bag and gets out of the car.

<Victoria> Looking reproachfully at the ground where obviously some dogs let their offal, she steps into the Museum.

<Storyteller> The Brittish Museum is bustling with Police and Museum personel.

<Storyteller> Outside the press is dying to get inside, everyone is blocked.

<Storyteller> (okay, to Lawrence)

Victoria adjusts her hat and smiles regally at the policemen, while she strides towards Mr.Holmes' office

<Storyteller> (btw..I thought you were English *g*)

<Storyteller> (Mr. Holmes doesn't have his office here)

<Laurence> (hmmm ... kinda used to this spelling ... i guess you're right on it having the wrong spelling in this case)

<Victoria> (Okay, then wherever they want to meet)

Laurence is now known as Lawrence

<Storyteller> A bobby leads you to the King George's library. The first thing that you notice is that it smells like an abattoir.

<Matthew_Deckard> (i'm ready)

Mycroft_Holmes has called you at a few hours before midnight to the King George III Library section of the Brittish Museum.

<Mycroft_Holmes> (read back and you see what happens when you arrive..a few minutes after Lady Victoria)

<Lawrence> (ok)

<Storyteller> (not you.. Sir Mathew..you don't have much to do with the League yet..)

<Lawrence> (Doh)

<Storyteller> (Patience, you start splitted..)

<Storyteller> (Okay)

<Storyteller> Lady Victoria..it smells like an abattoir in the library..

Victoria is utterly disgusted

Matthew_Deckard is standing next to the Human giant skelton exhibit... he is in a immaculate suit, wearing a long flowing black overcoat. His face is haded by the cillinder on his head, and he is looking at his golden watch, and nervosuly tapping hi walking cane on the floor...

Mycroft_Holmes spots you and sends on of his bobbies to send you back again.

Victoria takes out a perfumed handkerchief and hold it before her nose

London_Bobby has joined #agww

<London_Bobby> Mam, it's better if you stay outside, it's not fit for a lady to see what has happened here.

Victoria wears a long, very new looking deep blue dress with a collar up her neck and the usual blousy sleeved and wasp waist

Victoria looks at the Bobby.

<Victoria> I have been called, dear sir. Would you please let me pass?

<Victoria> (In a commanding tone)

London_Bobby looks back at Mycroft

<London_Bobby> Sorry Mam, strict orders.

<London_Bobby> You really don't want to see what has happened there..

Victoria looks to Mycroft and strides towards him

<London_Bobby> Mam'

<Victoria> Mr.Holmes why did you call me here if I'm now supposed to investigate the scene myself?

<Storyteller> When you walk towards Mycroft the first thing you notice is that there is blood all over the place.

<Storyteller> There's also 4 bodies covered with a nice white linnen sheet

Victoria sees to it that she doesn't step into any poodles

<Storyteller> (Sir Matthew, you may also enter if you please)

Victoria looks at the blood in some disgust and does indeed feel a little squeezy, but forces herself not to show any weakness at thwe sight

Victoria reaches Mcroft and looks a little pale.

<Mycroft_Holmes> Lady Victoria.

Mycroft_Holmes nods in your direction.

<Victoria> Mr.Holmes

Matthew_Deckard joins them, his white scarf flowing...

Victoria nods regally towards him

<Matthew_Deckard> milady... Mr Holmes...

Victoria nods towards Matt, too.

<Victoria> Sir Matthew.

Matthew_Deckard bows...

<Mycroft_Holmes> Sir Matthew.

Victoria smiles faintly.

<Matthew_Deckard> What seems to be the problem, Mr. Homes... except for the stench of blood and death on the floors of the museum?

<Mycroft_Holmes> The problem is that these people were murdered in a pretty ghastly manner.

<Victoria> Indeed, I would like to know this as qwell, Mr.Holmes

<Victoria> Well, I came to see that it wasn't in any agreeable fashion...

Mycroft_Holmes walks over to one of the bodies..

<Victoria> At least when I consider the amont of blood that was spilled

<Mycroft_Holmes> Sir Mathew, if you can stomach this

<Victoria> Is there any hint as to who might have been responsible?

<Matthew_Deckard> no problem... but i'd like to see the odies... though i'd prefer Lady Victoria not to be here while i am looking...

<Matthew_Deckard> it is a grisly matter...

Victoria looks to Matthew and waits for his reaction before she decides whether she really wants to see this

<Mycroft_Holmes> Only that the person who did this must have been of incredible strength..

Victoria looks towards Mycroft.

<Victoria> Incredsible strength?

Matthew_Deckard smirks in Mycroft's direction...

Mycroft_Holmes lifts one of the linnen sheets covering a body..

<Matthew_Deckard> ... so we have narrowed it down to about 15% of London's populace

Victoria looks at Matt tosee how he reacts

<Matthew_Deckard> plus an unindetified number of people around...

<Victoria> So, Sir Matthew, what is there to see?

<Matthew_Deckard> May i see the bodies, Mycroft?

Victoria still ponders whether she should indeed risk a look

<Storyteller> One arm has been ripped off just below the shoulder, the bone peers out still. The chest and the skull were both crushed with considerable force.

<Victoria> (Oh you haven't looked yet...)

<Matthew_Deckard> I recommend not, milady... this is not a sight for gentle eyes like yours...

<Matthew_Deckard> (does it look like blunt trauma or weapons... or claws ?)

Victoria sets her jaw and energetically strides towards the body nonetheless

<Storyteller> Blunt trauma.

<Victoria> Well, Sir Matthew, if I'm to help, I fear I cannot simply ignore this.

Victoria joint Matthew and looks to

<Storyteller> The body looks really gross

Victoria pales even more

<Matthew_Deckard> Well it seems to me that this one was worked over quite fine... last time i saw one like this it was in Bombay... the beggars assaulted a british officer... not a pleasant site...

<Victoria> I guess you areright, this is indeed a highly ghastly sight...

Mycroft_Holmes places the sheet back.

Matthew_Deckard covers the first, and crouches to the next one...

Victoria first looks away, but then forces herself to take another look, being almost as white as the linnen..

<Matthew_Deckard> I can guess that an angry mob can be ruled out...

Matthew_Deckard smiles weakly...

<Storyteller> The next one isn't much better off. This one has a hole in his chest, and froma quick observation you notice it's heart is missing.

Matthew_Deckard turns towards Victoria nad heads to her blocking her view...

<Matthew_Deckard> milady...

<Victoria> Sir?

<Matthew_Deckard> this is not for your eyes...

Victoria is really not looking to well, and only sheer willpower keeps her from fainting

<Matthew_Deckard> please leave the room... according to what i can see fro mthe form the others will be worse...

Victoria squints her eyes

<Mycroft_Holmes> And the others are even worse.

Mycroft_Holmes looks a bit pale too.

<Victoria> SIr Matthew, I have been called here just as you, and I will not run away from this responsibility.

<Matthew_Deckard> I gueesed as much... now i am going to uncover all of them... and you don't want o see them...

<Matthew_Deckard> please leave... both of you...

Matthew_Deckard turns to mycroft...

<Matthew_Deckard> Iis this the location of their Death ?

Victoria keeps stubbornly standing there, mustering all her Willpower not to retch or faint

<Mycroft_Holmes> Yes.

<Matthew_Deckard> Mycroft... i'd liek to use some of my more special... talents.. and i could use some peace with it... please escort lady victoria from here...

Mycroft_Holmes nods

<Mycroft_Holmes> If you please follow me, Lady Victoria.

Victoria still ponders whether she should stay, but then decided that one body was probably enough

Victoria thus follows Mycroft.

_Willow_ has joined #agww

_Moira_ has joined #agww

<Victoria> (Hi MC)

Matthew_Deckard takes of his overcoat and his cillinder and leaves them on a chair... there he leaves his cane...

_Willow_ waves in greeting

<_Willow_> (Merry Meet)

Matthew_Deckard turns his watch and looks into its reflective polished surface...

<Matthew_Deckard> !dice 5

<agww-dice> Matthew_Deckard rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 6 3 10 5

<Lawrence> (Hi MC)

<Matthew_Deckard> (i have stepped sideways ?)

<Storyteller> Yes

Matthew_Deckard looks around the penumbra...

Victoria stands outside the room and rummages through her bag, producing one fancyful meter.

<Storyteller> It seems more empty then it should have been.

<Matthew_Deckard> There should be backlashes from the slaughter in it...

<Storyteller> Those are there.

<Matthew_Deckard> Okay are there any traces or residue?

<Matthew_Deckard> and are there any spirits in close vicinty...

<Storyteller> There's some traces of the slaughter, but there aren't any spirits in the vincinity.

Victoria directs the meter at thedoor (Forces/Prime/Mind scan, level 1)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 4 6 8

<Victoria> (4 sux)

<Storyteller> (what do you want to do ?)

<Matthew_Deckard> (what sort of spirits are usaually in a museum like this ?)

<Matthew_Deckard> (there should be some ancestor spirits, pattern spiders, information gemoids... what else?)

<Victoria> (Seeing whether I get residues of magick (prime), some Forces or even some hidden beings (mind))

<Storyteller> There's some blood that strongely resonates with patter prime, but thats about it ..

<Victoria> (ok)

<Matthew_Deckard> (dingo wht other spirits ?)

<Storyteller> Mat: There should be spirits, but they are not here now.

<Matthew_Deckard> (no... i am asking what other tpyes can be here... i am gonan summon one of them)

<Storyteller> (aahh..a patter spider or information gemoid should be the most obvious to ask..this is a library after all.

Matthew_Deckard summons a resident infomration gemoid

<Matthew_Deckard> !dice 6

<agww-dice> Matthew_Deckard rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 10 9 9 1 8

<Matthew_Deckard> (this should do... even if he is scared)

London_Bobby is now known as Gemoid

Gemoid comes crawling out the bookcase

Gemoid looks around

<Gemoid> Is it gone ?

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes, little one...

<Matthew_Deckard> you are safe now...

<Matthew_Deckard> what has scared you?

<Gemoid> Unknown.

<Matthew_Deckard> ... you area weaver child... you are not scared by unknown...

<Matthew_Deckard> what did you sense? -> *Victoria* do you want to do the log editing please ?

<Matthew_Deckard> and what did the people here see?

<Matthew_Deckard> and can you give me what they were doing here... that is surely in your domain...

<Gemoid> I don't know what it was, but the people here saw a human. I saw a human too, but this one was strange. Never seen one like this before. He was really strongly patterned.

<Matthew_Deckard> Did your weaver borthers come to constrain it or was it only a shadow in the umbra?

<Gemoid> It had a real strong shadow. And it took one of my books.

<Matthew_Deckard> What book?

<Gemoid> Life of Caesar (48-49) by the Greek author Plutarch of Chaeronea.

<Gemoid> It was a real precious book. Only 2 other copies of this specific one exist in the world.

<Matthew_Deckard> YOu know its contents?

<Gemoid> Yes. It is about Caesars stay in Alexandria.

<Matthew_Deckard> Tell me a synopsis...

<Gemoid> Caesar was in Alexandria. Pothinus and Achillas conspired to kill Caesar. Fight. Caesar accidentally burns down the Great Library, but manages to escape. Takes bloody revenge afterwards. Pretty heroic story about Caesar.

<Matthew_Deckard> Is there anythign about the Library specificaly?

<Gemoid> Caesar swims away wile being attacked by archers. Trying to desperately keep a few papers safe. Must have been very valuable to him, because he could have gotten away by diving.

<Gemoid> No mention what these papers where, nor are they mentioned again in any other book about Caesar.

<Matthew_Deckard> This book is the same as the other 2?

<Gemoid> Yes

<Matthew_Deckard> Gemid i have an offering for you...

<Matthew_Deckard> i will give you 3 books on mechanics if you make me a exact copy of the stolen book in a book that i will give you...

Gemoid thinks for a while

<Gemoid> Good.

<Matthew_Deckard> Ok... i will step back to the real world... give ma bit of time...

<Gemoid> okay

Matthew_Deckard steps back, and exits towards Victoria & Mycroft...

Matthew_Deckard is only in his suit a bit sweaty...

<Matthew_Deckard> milady Victoria... do you have any manuals on applied mechanics with you?

<Mycroft_Holmes> Anything ?

<Victoria> Applied mechanics?

<Matthew_Deckard> or anythign on mechanis...

<Victoria> Well, I have some in the car...

<Matthew_Deckard> i need them soon...

<Matthew_Deckard> bring me 3... and i will refund you...

<Victoria> I rarely go anywhere without some useful lecture

<Matthew_Deckard> Mycroft do you have any book that you don't particulary need?

<Victoria> May I inquire what you need them for?

<Mycroft_Holmes> On me ?

<Matthew_Deckard> liek a novel or any other work that is easily replacable...

<Victoria> Sir Matthew?

<Matthew_Deckard> for a copy of the stolen book... amongst all those shelves we would not notice it at least for soem days...

Victoria looks very puzzled at Sir Matt

<Matthew_Deckard> Lady Victoria... action is needed now... anwsers later...

<Victoria> But I would like to know what you need them for *now*

Mycroft_Holmes fetches you a catalogue, some thing that the library has for visitors.

<Victoria> Then I know better what to select

<Matthew_Deckard> I need books that you care for, but can coutn as expendable... i will refund your expenses of retreival...

Victoria 's gaze seems pretty hard right now...

Matthew_Deckard checks how many pages the ctalogue has...

<Storyteller> (okay...work on this..making a copy of the book will take a bit of time...)

<Storyteller> enough.

<Victoria> Well, so tell me please, dear Sir.

Storyteller will focus on the other two now...

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay the spirit will reshape them into different form... they onl need to look good)

<Storyteller> (and doesn't like that Phonix isn't here)

<Matthew_Deckard> (i told you... look up)

<Victoria> (Vicky will definitely first want to know why he needs them, and if she has to evoke Manip+Leadership to make him tell her)

Matthew_Deckard takes the catalogue... and takes it into the room

Matthew_Deckard steps back...

<Victoria> (Look up and you don't specify what books, just they should be expendable? She is not stupid - and has the Flaw Curiousity)

<Matthew_Deckard> I need those books now, milady...

<Matthew_Deckard> i will explain afterwards...

<Mycroft_Holmes> Lady Victoria...hand him the books.

<Victoria> You still haven't told me what for exactly.

<Matthew_Deckard> there is limited time... the important thing is that you value the books...

Victoria looks to Mycroft

<Victoria> Well...

Victoria walks away in somewhat of a huff

Matthew_Deckard turns to Mycroft...

<Matthew_Deckard> thank you...

<Storyteller> Lawrence, you have been placed on a job to investigate a possible rogue vampire in the darker parts of town.

<Matthew_Deckard> i need to do this fast...

<Storyteller> Several people have gone missing lately.

<Matthew_Deckard> someone has attakced them only asa side venture...

<Matthew_Deckard> the more important thing is that they stole a book... a residign spirit will make me a copy of the book...

<Victoria> About 3 min later she returns with "Advance steam engine design and energy conversion", "Advanced steam card design" and "Zeppelin technology "

Lawrence will be patrolling the designated area

<Matthew_Deckard> Thank you milady...

<Lawrence> Any information regarding the persons missing ... social backgrounds, possible motivations ?

<Victoria> Here you are. But do not ...forget to explain this to me *in detail* afterwards.

<Storyteller> Widow O'Day some of your poorer clients have not shown up in a while. The didn't show up on "scheduled" visits and neither can they be found at home.

_Willow_ thinks that is most odd

<Storyteller> Lawrence: The people are of the lowest class possible, and most of them have disappeared in the Whitechappel area (London's (in)famous den of filth and corruption)

Matthew_Deckard takes the books and enters the room... soon he starts the ritual in which he gives the books to the gemoid and offers him the ctalogue to turn into the stolen book... The process of giving th books requires burtning them... but they dissapear in a fast fire during which i step sideways to commune with the spirit and give proper thanks for the service...

<Matthew_Deckard> (this will take some time...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (and the player will be back in 5 minutes)

<Storyteller> Lawrence, while patrolling the area, questioning the "special" resisdents, you notice a figure with a huge black cloak passing by. His presence makes you feel ... sick ...

_Willow_ ponders where to start looking for missing persons

Lawrence decides to arrange a more appropriate outfit .. and will be "patrolling" the Whitechappel area for a couple of nights

...

<Storyteller> Willow: The persons were Whitechapel residents.

<Lawrence> I will try to shadow the person and see where he's going using "Sight of the Unseen" to avoid detection

_Willow_ decides to styart with the missing persons homes to see if there are any clues

<Lawrence> "Unseen Presence" ... (mixing up names here)

<Storyteller> Inside one of the houses you find a purse with 10 guinneas in it (thats a lot of money, it's gold)

<Storyteller> The purse is made of black silk.

<Lawrence> If the shadowing is too strenuous i try to read the cloaked figure's aura ...

<Lawrence> isn't

<Storyteller> You can do that..he isn't really paying attention to being stalked or something.

_Willow_ ponders -- what would this person be doing with a lot of money?

<Lawrence> !dice 6

<agww-dice> Lawrence rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 9 6 1 5 8

<Lawrence> (2 suxx)

<Storyteller> (1)

<Lawrence> (sorry ... misread difficulty)

<Storyteller> His aura is very strong and you feal a sudden wave of nausea.

_Willow_ chants to herself and asks the spirits about this bag

<Victoria> (Diff 8 on Aura is fun - our Toris always scored tons of botches, LOL)

<_Willow_> (doing a prime1/spirit1/lifw scan of the bag, and the area)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 10 10 3 1

<_Willow_> 3 sux

<Lawrence> i'll keep my Auspex down for now ... i can't afford to "loose my lunch" at the moment

<Storyteller> The bag is resonating very strongly with Static Prime. The area itself has some residue of Static Prime.

<Storyteller> It comes over as very Weaverish, but not exactly right..

_Willow_ draws her athame and begins to 'cut' a window into the penumbra

<_Willow_> (spirit2 peek into the umbra)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 4 2 4 10

<Storyteller> !dice 8

<agww-dice> Storyteller rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 1 4 8 6 8 4 5

<Storyteller> The knife suddenly turns very hot.

_Willow_ studies the amthame

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 4 6 1 5

<_Willow_> 3 sux

<Storyteller> It has been severely damaged..

<Lawrence> if the cloaked figure seems to take a few moments of rest ... i will try another aura-scan ... but for now i'll just focus my attention on not letting him slip out of sight

<Lawrence> (never mind ... won't do any good .... just checked Auspex 2 a bit more closely)

<_Willow_> *sighs*

_Willow_ goes home

<Lawrence> (i think this is actually my first character ever to have Auspex ... so it's kinda new to me)

<Victoria> (Auspex 2 can give you the Mode & type of a Super)

<Victoria> (Mood)

<Victoria> (My chars all had high Auspex...And botched a lot of Aurascans, LOL)

<Storyteller> Okay..the figure enters a whorehouse.

<Storyteller> Willow: What do you do after your knife has been damaged ?

_Willow_ went home already

<_Willow_> can't wqork anymore

<Storyteller> When you left the house, you notice that the knife you were so worried is still in perfect shape.

<Lawrence> (From V:tM: A character may view a particular subject's aura only once with any degree of clarity. Any subsequent attempts that result in failure should be considdered botches. ..... After a full month, the character may try again at no penalty)

<Victoria> (That's new in VtM Rev. VtM 2nd didn't hae such rule)

<Storyteller> (well, you can still try again...the risk is only botching)

<Lawrence> (ok ... then i will try again as stated earlier)

<Storyteller> Willow: There is nothing wrong with the knife.

<Victoria> (Lawrence, you can Spend Willpower for 1 autosux)

<Victoria> (And Aurobotching isn't that bad ^_^)

<Victoria> (Aura reading botching)

<Lawrence> (and i will indeed spend a willpower as the nauseating effect is kind of distracting me)

<Lawrence> (but like i stated before ... i'll only do the scan when the person seems to be holding his pace for a few moments)

<Storyteller> (scan)

<Lawrence> !dice 6

<agww-dice> Lawrence rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 5 2 4 3 8

<Lawrence> (2 suxx: 1 + 1 wp)

<Storyteller> Besides the aura being totally overwhelming, you also see that it features the same dark linings you see in a diablerist.

<Lawrence> i will try to keep tailing him but i'll keep my distance ... this is not some ordinary rogue vampire

<_Willow_> !dice 6

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 5 6 2 4 9

<Storyteller> It isn't a vampire, you are sure about that..

<Storyteller> Back to the people in the Museum

Gemoid has made a perfect replica of the original book.

Victoria waits impatiently at Sir Matt's explanation

Gemoid is now known as London_Bobby

Matthew_Deckard thanks the gemoid and tells him that he can count on my help whenever necessary...

<London_Bobby> Sir, we've found a witness.

Matthew_Deckard exits the room with a brand new book in his hands... behind him there isa pile of ashes and a whiff of burning paper...

<Mycroft_Holmes> Oh ?

Victoria looks to the Bobby

<Victoria> Where?

Matthew_Deckard looks interested...

<Victoria> Please lead me there, sir

<London_Bobby> Some beggar outside the door saw someone in a big black cape leave in a carriage.

<Victoria> A big black cape? Hm...

<London_Bobby> The carriage left to Whitechapel.

<Victoria> Could you please lead me to the witness.

<Storyteller> Willow, one of your customers comes to pay you for your kindness. He pays you with 2 gold sovereigns he takes from his purse.

Victoria puts away her meter and looks for a some small currency...

Mycroft_Holmes is now known as Beggar

Beggar is a older looking man, who smells like he hasn't bathed once in his life.

Victoria takes out her handkerchief again

Beggar wears an eyepatch and has long scraggy looking hair.

<_Willow_> !dice 4

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 3 3 6

<Victoria> The perfume does a little to alleviate the stench of the beggar.

<Matthew_Deckard> Whitechapel?

<Matthew_Deckard> Black cape?

<Matthew_Deckard> Mycroft?

Victoria looks somewhat more greenish than she sdid when she checked the carnage in the library

London_Bobby is now known as Mycroft

<Mycroft> Yes ?

<Matthew_Deckard> My dear Victoria i must use this opportunity to thank you for your gift...

<Matthew_Deckard> Mrxcroft... doesn't that remind you of something?

<Victoria> Dir sir, could you please tell me exactly what you saw in the time of these ghastly happenstances?

Victoria looks to Matt.

Matthew_Deckard simply nods i nthe beggars direction...

<Victoria> Yes, don't mention it... But you still have to tell me what exactly you needed the books for. In detail.

Matthew_Deckard stands near Mycroft and Victoria, and checks his watch...

Victoria hands the beggar some small currency to jog his memory

Matthew_Deckard seems to be abit tired and he has left his coat, jacket, cillinder nad cane in the other room...

Victoria concentrates (Mind) if she can get a feeling whether he say the truth, as she always had some knack for reading people...

<Victoria> (Mind ^_^ But very basic stuff,)

<_Willow_> !dice 4

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 7 2 10

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 1 6 10

<Victoria> 1 sux

<Beggar> I saw a young man wearing a huge black cape enter the building about 10 minutes before the whole business here began..

<Beggar> He left about 5 minutes later with a book in his hand.

<Beggar> He took a carriage and I heard him call to the driver that he should go to Whitechapel.

<Victoria> A young man? How old? was hair and eyes?

<Beggar> He also left me a pretty goold alm.

<Victoria> Hm...

<Beggar> One gold sovereign....

<Victoria> That's most curious, dear man.

Beggar grins hugely

Victoria thinks this was something of an invistation

Victoria sighs and takes out a souvereign, too, maybe she can get some further info then

Victoria gives the beggar the money and thanks her late father for the Estate he left her

Matthew_Deckard looks with inherit malice at the beggar...

<Beggar> Thank you Mam'

<Matthew_Deckard> I hink you are milking us for more then you know...

<Victoria> So, is there anything more you might want to tell me?

<Beggar> The guy was barely more than a lad. He also didn't look much like a gentleman to me...more like a commoner.

_Willow_ asks are you alright? I "feel" something odd about you.

<Victoria> A commoner? In what way?

<Victoria> (Willow - whom do you ask?)

<_Willow_> the customer

<Storyteller> Her customer..

<Victoria> (Ah... Sorry, got a bit confused)

_Willow_ wonders if something out of the ordinary might have happened to you

<Storyteller> Yes, I feel fine... I finally got a job...do you know how hard it is to get a job in this town..and it also pays very very good... ..

<Storyteller> (Sovereign, about $200)

<_Willow_> indeed...

<_Willow_> for whom are you working?

<Storyteller> Commoner, yes... He didn't look like he was born in the clothes he was wearin'

<Storyteller> For some fellow in Whitechapel..

<_Willow_> thats curious

<Storyteller> I help him carry around stuff, buy stuff and things..

<_Willow_> I see... you think he might need anything we sell?

<Storyteller> Thats why I'm here..

<Storyteller> He needs an Athame.

<Storyteller> Whatever that may be.

<Storyteller> He said it was a knife thingy..

<_Willow_> yes, quite .... a kind of "spiritual knife"

<Storyteller> I don't know about such things... do you have one, Widow O'Day ?

<_Willow_> of course, points at the case with the various athames and bolins (sp?)

<Beggar> And I'm not milkin' anyone..

<Beggar> I'm just tellin' you what I know...

<Victoria> Well, then please tell me more about hair colour, did he have a beard etc?

<Storyteller> Customer: Pick one, I have no idea..

Phonix357 has joined #agww

<Victoria> (Hi Phonix. WE are already running ...)

<Beggar> He was a lad about 15 years old, he had scraggy looking blond hair....and he gave me a really good alm.

<Victoria> Obviously so. May I take a look at that alm?

Phonix357 is now known as Blackname_TheGh

Blackname_TheGh has quit IRC

<Victoria> I will give you the same worth in exchange, but this may be a lead in a truly ghastly crime

Beggar grabs in his pocket..and takes out a smallish looking, shiny gold coin..

Sir_Blackname has joined #agww

Beggar looks at you..

_Willow_ picks out a decent peice and hands it to the customer

Victoria digs in her purse and takes out an equivalent worth

Storyteller buys all the athames. Leaving you with a full black silk purse with coins.

<Victoria> May I please take that?

<Beggar> Yes, Ma'm

Victoria hold the handherchief out to let the beggar to the coin onto it

Victoria gives the beggar the other cois she produced out of her purse

Victoria studies the coin intently

<Storyteller> Customer: I was instructed to pay you with this purse.

<Storyteller> Victoria: It looks like an ordinary gold sovereign.

_Willow_ looks at purse

Victoria takes out her meter with the other hand and tries to get a readng

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 10 8 4

<Victoria> (5 sux :-)

Sir_Blackname has left #agww

<Victoria> (Prime, Matter, Forces)

<Storyteller> The coin resonates very strongly with Static Prime....but the Matter says it's a piece of stone.

<Victoria> Intriguing... TRuly intriguing.... (mutters)

<_Willow_> !dice 4

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 8 6 8

<Mycroft> Well I suggest you go to Whitechapel and find this fellow.

Victoria puts on a deep frown and stares that the coin, at the meter and again at the coin.

<Victoria> That I will most certainly do!

<Matthew_Deckard> I will acompany you milady...

<Matthew_Deckard> i fear that you may not be safe if you went alone...

<Matthew_Deckard> I just need to pick up my stuff...

<Victoria> Yes, that would be very kind, dear Sir. I still await your explanation about the books.

Matthew_Deckard puts on his jacket, coat, grabs his cane and pockets his watch... he is carrying the book under his armpit...

<Storyteller> Blackname: Somehow robberies and all other crimes have increased by a manyfold in Whitechapel over the last few days. It's almost a full time job to play a vigilante there now.

<Storyteller> Unusual ammounts of gold sovereigns have appeared in the place.

_Willow_ carefully places the entire purse in a silk bag along with the other non-mundane coins

Victoria looks at Matt and the heavy book he carries.

<Lawrence> (Phonix seems to be having network problems)

<Storyteller> The book isn't heavy..

<Victoria> Did you exchange my books for this volume you carry there?

<Storyteller> It's actually about 40 pages or so.

<Victoria> (ok)

<Matthew_Deckard> ...in a manner of speaking yes...

_Willow_ goes to her library and tries to do research on transformation

<_Willow_> of matter

<Matthew_Deckard> this is the volume that the attacker has taken...

<_Willow_> !dice 6

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 4 9 1 3 2

<Victoria> It is? So there were more volumes of it in the library?

<Matthew_Deckard> ... no this is a copy...

<Matthew_Deckard> Shall we take a coach?

<_Willow_> !dice 6

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 3 8 3 8 6

<Victoria> A copy? How did you get one in such shore a time?

<Victoria> A coach? I have my steamcar here

Victoria points at the shiny car in front of the museum

<Matthew_Deckard> i found a keeper of the books that knew all the books perfectly... he gave me a copy in exchange for your manuals...

<Victoria> I just have to re-heat the engine...

Matthew_Deckard smiles...

<Matthew_Deckard> Ahhh i have seen only one of these... a fascinating device!

<Victoria> A keeper of the books? You mean the librarian?

<Matthew_Deckard> ...no... a keeeper...

<Victoria> I didn't know they do such exchanges

<Victoria> A Keeper?

Victoria leads Matt to her car while they talk

<Storyteller> Lawrence, the figure has stayed inside the Whorehouse for a while now

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes.. not all "librarians" are of this world, milady...

Victoria goes to the trunk and restasrts the steam engine

<Victoria> Not of this world? Pardon me, dear sir, but I somehow fail to understand

<Matthew_Deckard> Ah i told you before of the netherworld... and its help to my line... have i not?

Victoria looks at the meters and displays that show how the steam pressure rises to the appropriate levels.

<Lawrence> (I guess i will need to head inside if i want to keep him within sight range ?)

<Victoria> (Matt did you? Do our chars know each other then?)

Matthew_Deckard takes carefull notice of the working... thinking how the Stourbridge Lion would be prouf of such a device being used my common man...

<Storyteller> Lawrence: Yes

_Willow_ asks ... have you a name and/or way to contact the gentleman?

<Matthew_Deckard> (we met each other before...)

<Victoria> (Ok.)

<Matthew_Deckard> (though am keeping my nature for me...)

<Victoria> Ah yes, SDr Matthew. The Netherworld... Aleit I have to admit that this is a somewhat foreign concept for me...

<Storyteller> Customer: He currently resides in the Merry Maid....but I think it's not a decent place for you to go there Widow O

<Storyteller> Day

<Lawrence> at the first opportunity that arrises i will sneak inside

<Storyteller> It's a whorehouse..how so, sneaking inside..

<Victoria> As the steam pressure is ok, she closes the door of the trunk and gets into the car, carefully wiping her hands on a handkerchief

<_Willow_> hmm such places do have need of a healer now and then

Matthew_Deckard sits next to her, opens the book and starts paging...

Victoria takes a look at the book, befor ethey roll on

<Victoria> (Which language is that?)

<_Willow_> have you a name (to ask for)?

<Storyteller> It's in Latin.

<Lawrence> well i don't really have business in the whorehouse except for mister nausea being there ... i like to keep myself low profile

<Victoria> Me looks at it. What is this book about?

<Matthew_Deckard> (i know some latin... i can also go and use my books at home to do a full transcription...)

<Matthew_Deckard> Wait here lady Victoria i forgot something...

<Storyteller> Customer: He goes by the name of John.

Victoria starts the car and it gives of some poofing noises, as it slowly gets into motion

Matthew_Deckard leaves the books on his seat andruns back into the museum looking for Mr. Holmes...

Victoria brakes hard

<Victoria> Oops, sorry

Victoria takes the book curiously and starts to read the first pages

<_Willow_> I'd adk the madam for "john"? could you describe him, so I can explain what he looks like, (as thats a rather common name)

<Storyteller> It's about the life of Caesar by Plutarch of Chaeronea

<Storyteller> Customer: He owns the place now.

Victoria leaves through the book and commits every page to memory (Eidetic Memory,and/or Mind Effect)

<Victoria> (leafs)

<_Willow_> Oh then I only need to ask for the owner... thats good, thank you

<_Willow_> do take care of yourself

<Storyteller> Yes, Ma'm..

Matthew_Deckard is searching for mycroft...

Lawrence takes a pencil and his little nootbook and scribles down some notes regarding the prime suspect

Mycroft didn't go with you..

<Mycroft> He told you to go find the fellow who did this..

Victoria takes the time to go through the books to see whether it contains anything of interest.

<Storyteller> Well, since you have no idea about what makes this book different from the not so rare copies. It's just a description about the Life of Caesar.

<Victoria> (40 pages shouldn't take too long to scan with Mind 1)

<Storyteller> More specifically..his exploits in and around Egypt.

Matthew_Deckard heads back to the room where the corpses were...

Victoria thinks she might have taken a little time to read about history, but this subject wasn't really her main interest

Mycroft Yes, Sir Mathew ?

Matthew_Deckard looks for anything that the attacker might have left... hair, piecs of clothing, anything...

<Matthew_Deckard> I need your help...

<Matthew_Deckard> did you find anything of the attacker?

<Mycroft> Nothing, whatsoever.

<Matthew_Deckard> I will tkae another look... do not disturb me mycroft it ids of the utmost essence....

Matthew_Deckard enters the room... closes the door...

Victoria continues reading ...

Matthew_Deckard shapeshifts into a Wolf and starts sniffing around tryig to find any minor thing a humancould have missed

<Storyteller> (Victoria: The piece I'm using: http://www.livius.org/caa-can/caesar/caesar_t13.html)

<Victoria> (Thx)

<Storyteller> Matt: You find some dirt on the floor that smells like blood and something other..

<Storyteller> Matt: And by dirt, I mean not dust that has caught some blood..

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 2 8 7 6

<_Willow_> how far is it?

<Storyteller> It's at the most a kilometer walk..

Matthew_Deckard needs a part of him or his clothing... or belongings...

<Matthew_Deckard> (what is the dustr mished with blood... eart ?)

<Storyteller> Matt: It's earth mixed with blood and some other strange smell you can't really place.

Lawrence will basically do a stake out at the whorehouse ... to see if the cloaked figure remains there for any significant amount of time

...

<Storyteller> Willow: As you walk towards whitechappel you notice the usual sights of London, with one exception..the Merry Maid. It seems "Solid" it shimmers faintly with Prime energy.

<Storyteller> Matt: Make a Science + Int check

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 8 8 6 9

<Matthew_Deckard> !dice 7

<agww-dice> Matthew_Deckard rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 4 3 1 10 3 3

<Matthew_Deckard> (ROTFL)

<Matthew_Deckard> (is 10 2 suxx or not ?)

<Storyteller> (not)

<Victoria> 10 is canceled by 1

<Storyteller> Matt: You can't make out the smell

<Storyteller> But the blood isn't from one of the people here.

Matthew_Deckard makes another round to see if maybe the killer scraped on somethign while walking...

<Storyteller> You would recognize the smell though..

<Storyteller> It's fairly distinct.

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 4 4 8 1

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay... anything for the pieces?)

<Storyteller> You would also recognize the smell as a human.

<Matthew_Deckard> (nothing ?)

<Storyteller> No pieces of the attacker.

<Matthew_Deckard> (nothing ?)

Matthew_Deckard shifts back int o homid, straighten's his suit, and puts the dust mixed with blood in one of the oucehs in his ccoat he usually uses for herbs..

Matthew_Deckard leaves waving to mycroft and meets with Victoria...

Victoria has meanwhile read through the book

<Matthew_Deckard> I aplogize for the delay, my dear lady... but i have something that we have missed....

<Victoria> Oh, I don't mind. I read through this book in the meantime.

<Victoria> I discovered my knowledge in history severely lacking, I'm afraid...

<Victoria> So what did we overlook?

Lawrence in the mean while tries making a couple of sketches portraying the cloaked figure.

<Victoria> I'm afraid, I'm unfortunately not so adept in investigating crime; my strengths lie elsewhwere.

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 9 6 5 5

<Matthew_Deckard> i heard that you have apptitude in the field of chemistry...

<Matthew_Deckard> could you make me an analysys of this?

Matthew_Deckard takes a small leather pouch from his coat, and shows victoria the patch of dirt mixed with blood

<Victoria> Hm... it istrue, one of my passions in science lies with chemistry. Please show me the substance you need to have anylized.

_Willow_ notes the umbral location of the house (for the purpose of targeting a bridge there)

<Storyteller> okay

_Willow_ continues to walk in the penumbra looking for the same signature

Mycroft is now known as Plague_Spirit

Victoria rummages through her bag and finds a meter that has a little slothere where a microscop slide can go

<Plague_Spirit> Are you looking for the thing ?

<_Willow_> (is that to me?)

Plague_Spirit looks like a disease ridden cat

<Plague_Spirit> (yes)

<_Willow_> thing?

<Plague_Spirit> Yes thing..

<Plague_Spirit> It's in the real world...but it's soo scary it shows here too.

Victoria put some of the substance carefully on the slide and pushes it into the slot of the meter, adjusting some buttons and levers

<_Willow_> what can you tell of it?

<Victoria> (Matter 1 scan)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 9 4 2

<Victoria> (Can do Int+Science, too, if need be)

<Storyteller> The substance is blood, earth and a chemical compound mostly used in the coloring of hair..

<Storyteller> A cheap hair colorant.

<Victoria> (Hydrogen peroxide?)

<Storyteller> (Cheaper)

Sir_Blackname has joined #agww

<Victoria> (ok.)

<Sir_Blackname> Here now)

Victoria looks from the meter to Matt -> *Sir_Blackname* before you go linkdead on me again

<Victoria> This is an assortment of silicates, humus - earth, I mean - plus some blood and a cheap hair dye

<_Willow_> what can you tell of it?

<Matthew_Deckard> Hmmm there is also something else...

<Victoria> What else?

<Plague_Spirit> It's scary..it hurts..

<Matthew_Deckard> ... is this then a hair from somone's head?

<_Willow_> it take power from you?

<Matthew_Deckard> wh would it otherwise be mixed with the dye?

<Storyteller> No just the colorant, mixed in the dirt, combined with blood.

<Victoria> (ST, is there hairs there, or just the chemicals?)

<Lawrence> (welcome Phonix)

<Victoria> (ok)

<Storyteller> Just the chemicals

<Sir_Blackname> 'Ello)

<Plague_Spirit> No, it just hurts

<Victoria> Well, I didn't find any keratine, I'm afraid. Just the dye chemical

<Plague_Spirit> He's old..he changes the world around him...without changing it.

<_Willow_> ok is it still in that building (pointing at the glowing building)?

<Plague_Spirit> Yes

_Willow_ conjures a mouse

<Plague_Spirit> Don't go there.

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 6 6 7 3

<Plague_Spirit> He's dangerous

Matthew_Deckard thinks where are such chemicals common?

_Willow_ take a mouse from her medicine pouch and give it to the spirit

<Victoria> WEll, this is such cheap material, I don't think any barber of note would use that.

<_Willow_> I agree... thank you for your help

<Storyteller> It's used by "elderly" whores to appear younger for less money.

_Willow_ scans again looking for the signatuire (not the building)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 4 2 6 6

<Victoria> (Hm. Does a lady of immaculate pedigree know that?)

<Matthew_Deckard> (no, but i do...)

<Storyteller> Sir Blackname, when you investigate the Merry Maid you notice that there's someone standing a bit in the shadows investigating it too.

<Storyteller> No, but Sir Matt will probably know that..

<Matthew_Deckard> (i was trying to hunt Jack in whitchapel... i know too many smells after that :))

<Victoria> (Ok, I tell you my finding, you do the conclusion...)

Sir_Blackname Sir Blackname decideds its time to chehck the Merry Maid and goes into Whitechaple via a Driven Carrige. He egts off and moves to a c/me Moves around there , using his Stealth so he is not seen

_Willow_ peeks across the gaunlet to see if there is anyplace I can cross

<Matthew_Deckard> Well it is obvious that this also originates from whitechapel...

<Victoria> Well, then we shall tarry no longer Sir Matthew

<Storyteller> There's some places you could cross unseen Willow

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 9 6 4 3

Sir_Blackname Moves around the area and keep wacth on the Investrigators

<Victoria> (St: Yup^_^)

<Storyteller> (Investigator)

<Storyteller> Lawrence: You notice that you are being watched..

<Storyteller> (Me tries to get the group together)

_Willow_ searchs for anyone in the area

<Storyteller> Willow: Alertness + Perception.

Lawrence scans the aura of the person watching him

<_Willow_> !dice 9

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 8 10 8 3 1 6 1 1

Victoria steers the steam car through the dirty streets, startling one or the other horse with the constant poofs from the steam engine in the rear

<Lawrence> (no additional successes for Perception specialty)

<Storyteller> Blackname: Describe your mood

Sir_Blackname He wears a black cape with a black shirt and toFocused on finding what is goin on and alarmend)

<Sir_Blackname> ............))

<Victoria> (Matt, you may run faster, but I drive more stylish!)

<Matthew_Deckard> Is there anthing inside like the location of the Alexandria library, or somethign similar?

<Sir_Blackname> Will start to give actions with the asterick *

)

<Storyteller> No, but the thing that should strike you is Caesar risking his life for a few papers..

<Sir_Blackname> *He wears a black cape with a black shirt and black pants , his eyes are covered by Ebony shades and his mouth is covered by a black handkerchief*

<Victoria> (me read that, too, and wasn't too much amazed - she values knowledge too highly not to take care of books)

<Storyteller> Willow: See description of Blackname, and description of Lawrence.

<Matthew_Deckard> Why would Cezar go to such lengths to protect papers*

<Matthew_Deckard> He was not a scientist... or a scholar...

<Victoria> (Do you say that aloud?)

<Matthew_Deckard> he was a warrior...

<Matthew_Deckard> (yes)

<Victoria> Well, everybody should protect knowledge!

<Matthew_Deckard> .. but they don't....

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 8 7 6 6

<Matthew_Deckard> and wariors would not go to protect knowledge they do not need...

<Victoria> I have been shocked to learn that he did indeed cause the fire that destroyed the library...

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 4 8 3 1

Victoria shakes her head in disgust.

<Storyteller> Lawrence ?

<Victoria> So much knowledge that got lost...

<Sir_Blackname> * He looks at those them all ...Wondering what they are doing here*\

<Matthew_Deckard> meaning that it is somethign that would have quite some influence on the state of the world affairs at the time...

<Lawrence> (sorry ... )

<Lawrence> (i am wondering if i did or did not change into more "suitable local" atire)

_Willow_ walk toward the mage

Victoria looks at Matt

<Storyteller> Blackname you see a woman walking towards you.

<Sir_Blackname> * He places his hand on his cane and jumps up*

<Victoria> Matt: And what, dear sir, could that have been? And why should it be of interest to anyone today?

Lawrence appears to be a male in his upper 30s

_Willow_ stands and speaks

<_Willow_> hello

<Lawrence> (is kinda lost at the moment as to what exactly is happening at the moment ... and what is currently expected of me)

<Matthew_Deckard> I an more worried by the fact that somone wanted this boook enough to kill four people, ina manner most grisly...

<Sir_Blackname> Who are you...And are you doing here?

<Storyteller> You were spotted by Blackname..

<Storyteller> A woman walks up to the other fellow.

<Storyteller> Thats the situation.

<_Willow_> I'm Willow, a medium and healer

<Victoria> Yes, this is what keeps me puzzled, too, Sir Matthew.

Victoria shudders at the thought of the sight of the body she saw

<Matthew_Deckard> ... this book in itself is not important...

<_Willow_> I was puzzled by what the spirits said and what I've found

<Victoria> Well, it let me exercise my Latin again.

<Sir_Blackname> * He looks at her , trying to inspect her very throughly*

<_Willow_> and was trying to investigate to make sense of it

<Matthew_Deckard> but i will need to make some inquairies.. it is possible that the University copy had some sort of Addenda, or notes writen by readers...

<Sir_Blackname> What have they said?

<Matthew_Deckard> i bleive my contact would leave something liek that out...

<Victoria> Yes, this might be beneficial indeed. So this...keeper isn't able to copy such, too?

Lawrence decides to approach the duo a short distance away from him

<Matthew_Deckard> he is...

<_Willow_> A plauge spirit said "it hurts, it chnages things without chnaging them

<Victoria> Matt: And why should he have left it out then?

<Matthew_Deckard> ...but he finds imperfaction as unneccessary... adenda to a work is unnecesary... and while he might now if anything was added...

<_Willow_> I asked if it took power from them, and it siad no but is scares them and it hurts

<Storyteller> Lawrence: Any reaction ?

<Sir_Blackname> * The man nods *

<Matthew_Deckard> ...he wouldn't think of it as important enough to put into this copy...

<_Willow_> and you, sir ?

<Victoria> Hm... So maybe you could ask him once more in detail, when we return?

<Matthew_Deckard> yes... but first we need to go to Whitechapel...

<Lawrence> Good evening ... i see we all seem to be sharing an interest in the happenings of the Merry Maid this evening ?

<Matthew_Deckard> ... aybe we can find something out...

<Victoria> Well, we are right on our way...

<Sir_Blackname> I do not converse with spirits....I mearly keep the living and Innocent safe

<_Willow_> honestly, I'm puzzled

Victoria sinals to get another horse move out of the way

<Victoria> signals

<Lawrence> (there are too many "discussions" going at the same time in channel ... i can barely keep up trying to figure out what is and what is not intended for me)

<Storyteller> The owner of the horse curses you loudly..

<Matthew_Deckard> You remember that the beggar said that it was a blond lad?

<Sir_Blackname> Nods)

Victoria ignores his vulgar expletives, although they make her blush somewhat

<_Willow_> one of my customers paid me with goin coins that appears to be "created" and have a strong sense of both stasis and wrongness

<Victoria> Yes.

<_Willow_> qerr gold

<Victoria> (ST: The hairdye, was it blone? I asked about the H2=2 that for)

<Victoria> Yes, Sir Matt

<_Willow_> he also appeared to have been somehow drained of spirit energy

<Storyteller> This particular color blackens the hair.

<Matthew_Deckard> ... that was a disguise... this dye proves it... i think that might have been a woman that had dyed her hair...

<Victoria> (Ok.)

<Storyteller> You arrive at the Whitechapel proper.

<Sir_Blackname> People have been looting houses and such....Lots of Gold coins like the ones you speak of

<Victoria> Well, Sir Matt, the colour I found blackens the hair

<_Willow_> All in all a very bizzarre happenings

<Matthew_Deckard> ... hmmm interesting...

<Storyteller> Blackname + Willow: The other person came to you and asked you something.

<Sir_Blackname> * The man rests his cane near his waist and brims down his top hat*

<_Willow_> the spirit also said the Thing is still in the house over there (points at the Merry maid)

<Matthew_Deckard> park this vehicle and put some safety on it... i am afraid it may b a bit nasty neighborhood to be in at this time...

<Sir_Blackname> * Nods and starts walking towards the Merry Maid*

<_Willow_> it appearently bought the place with it "funny money"

<Victoria> Indeed it is...

Victoria parks the car at the side of the road.

Matthew_Deckard exits the car, and looks carefully around him...

<Storyteller> OKAY. STOP LAWRENCE, WILLOW AND BLACKNAME, TO VICTORIA AND MATTHEW

ZenCadet has joined #agww

<Storyteller> (CAPS, was intended)

<Sir_Blackname> Ok)

<Matthew_Deckard> (hey Ivader Nim ;)) -> *ZenCadet* Well be done right away..

<ZenCadet> (What am I invading tonight then?)

<Storyteller> (LXG)

<Matthew_Deckard> (WOD: League of extraordinary gentlemen)

<Victoria> After she left it, she puts on a Forces effect with prime, that causes anyone to tougch it to get an electrical shock. (Just some static charge, easily produced by the steam engine left on under low power)

<Storyteller> Victoria and Matthew you have arrived at the Whitechapel proper.

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 10 2 10

<_Willow_> nice

Matthew_Deckard puts his coat closer...

<Victoria> Ok. 5 suxx for a Forces 2/Prime 2 static charge on the vehicle

Matthew_Deckard offers his hand to lady Victoria (hmm not han, the interlocked joint thingy ;))

Victoria smles and puts her hand on his arm

<Victoria> (Matt I know :-)

<Victoria> (Matt like on the pic of AC and Grey :-))

Matthew_Deckard smirks...

<Storyteller> Matt: THe hair in the back of your neck is rising..something feels really wrong closeby

<Matthew_Deckard> (is their fog ?)

<Storyteller> (Of course there is)

Matthew_Deckard tenses up

_Willow_ backs up into the shadows watching for others to come here

Matthew_Deckard shifts to GLabro...

Victoria shudders somewhat as is feels uncomfortably damp and cold

Matthew_Deckard grows some 10 centimetirs and suddenly feels more muscly.. his hair has lenghtend a bit... nut his clothes are the right size...

<Victoria> (Do I notice something with Matt?)

<Matthew_Deckard> The netherworld warns us...

<Storyteller> Yep, you notice the increase in bulk of his arms.

<Matthew_Deckard> there is something here...

Victoria wonders why the position of her arm is now different.

Victoria looks more closely at Matt

<Victoria> What did you do?

<Matthew_Deckard> Lady Victoria don't be fightend by my increase in size... the Netherworld is trying to protect me from this... thing...

<Storyteller> The people standing outside the house also notice something is amiss.

Victoria puzzles about this , but his remark prompts her to dig for her meter

<Matthew_Deckard> there is something here... that is not good...

Victoria lets his arm go and adjusts the meter

<Storyteller> Matt: You know the direction the sensation comes from

<Victoria> (Forces/Mind/Prime scan, 1)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 10 10 6

<Matthew_Deckard> This way!

<_Willow_> good roll

<Victoria> (6 sux... Makes for lack of Corr ^_^)

<Matthew_Deckard> Are you sure you wish to go with me?

_Willow_ continues to detect for others

<Victoria> Yes, I am most sure!

<Matthew_Deckard> the steam vehicle can protect you from any danger...

<Storyteller> Victoria: You notices that there is a really strong influx of Ether around this place.

Lawrence thoroughly looks around him .. trying to find the source of the disturbed feeling

<_Willow_> (life/prime/spirit)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 10 9 8 2

<Victoria> Now this is peculiar...

<_Willow_> 6 sux

<Storyteller> It's really tainted entropy.

<Matthew_Deckard> yes?

<Victoria> The Ether around here is charged with primal energy

<Storyteller> You notice a sudden influx of tained entropy around the place, willow

<_Willow_> maybe it on the move

<Victoria> Can I homwe in on a direction?)

<Storyteller> Yes

Matthew_Deckard still keeps Victoria in the same position and sloely treds towards the source..

Victoria points in the direction where she got the most intense reading

<Matthew_Deckard> (you notice that we are already headign that way=

Victoria follows Matt, her eyes closely on the scales of her meter

<Storyteller> Lawrence: You feel really sick right now

<Storyteller> Make a Stamina check diff 6

<Victoria> Sir Matt - you go into the right direction? Do you ...feel something from there?

<Lawrence> (pure stamina ?)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 4 4 1 2

<Storyteller> (yes)

<Lawrence> !dice 2

<agww-dice> Lawrence rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 8

<Matthew_Deckard> I feel... somethign wrong... bad...

<Matthew_Deckard> ..rotten...

<Storyteller> Your blood is churning..

<Matthew_Deckard> i am not sure what it is...

<Storyteller> (for the vamp)

Lawrence tries to back off ... away from the whorehouse

_Willow_ looks for the undead

<Matthew_Deckard> ...but it may be what we are looking for...

<Victoria> Well, I'm somewhat disturbed about this etheric emanations, too, I have to admit

<Storyteller> The vampire is obviously in a lot of pain at the moment.

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 5 7 1 4

Lawrence shuts down any possible heightened senses

<Storyteller> Victoria, Matt..you arive at a place..2 people are standing in shock looking at another person who is wincing in pain..

Victoria looks at the scene

<Storyteller> The source of the tainted entropy is very closeby.

Victoria frowns and looks at Matt

Matthew_Deckard tenses up, but leaves hifs changed features hidden from everyoen else by his wide cillinder...

_Willow_ looks up at the newcomers

<Victoria> Sir Matthew, are you adept in medicine?

<Matthew_Deckard> ... you do the talking...

<Victoria> I have to admit this is not my field

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 1 3 4 9

Victoria nods

<Victoria> I will do.

<Matthew_Deckard> not quite...

_Willow_ kneeals at the wincing person and tries to help

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 1 7 7 1

Victoria walks towards the three persons

<Victoria> PLease, could you tell me what happened here?

Matthew_Deckard is still holding Victoria and walkign as an escort...

<_Willow_> 1 sux (life3 heal)

<Matthew_Deckard> (won't work... Vamps need matter :))

<Storyteller> The effect you sensed before hurted much.

Victoria looks to the two standing

<Storyteller> Lawrence, but it ebs away..

<Matthew_Deckard> (this might actualy hurt him ;))

<_Willow_> I don't know a whole lot about them

<Storyteller> Halfed it..no problems there..

<_Willow_> I look at at the others

<Victoria> (I have matter and no life. No luck for our Vampy)

<Lawrence> (Reminds ST about Lawrence's "Magic Resistance")

<Matthew_Deckard> (ah well...)

<Victoria> So, may I inqzuire as to what happened here?

<Storyteller> And me reminds the mages about needing both matter and life to affect a vampire

Victoria has a calm and commanding voice

<Victoria> (ST I know *g*)

<_Willow_> look at the Lady, then at the fellow, (who all is hwere now)?

<Matthew_Deckard> (thanks to the fog nad my clothes it won't b obvious that i am different unless somone comes to 3 cm from me...)

<Storyteller> The enrtopic effect is gone.

Lawrence tries to get his wits together again and gets up again

<Victoria> (ST: Forces works, too, on Vampires, though :-)

<Victoria> So would anybody please be so kind as to enlighten me?

<Victoria> The command in her voice grows more audible

<Storyteller> Everyone is now standing outside the Merry Maid.

_Willow_ stands and addresses all

<_Willow_> I'm Willow, medium and healer

Matthew_Deckard whispers... she seems to open... we should watch ourselves...

<_Willow_> I was here trying to make sense out of what I've seen and sensed

<Victoria> Well, I am Lady Victoria Annabelle Montgomery, Countess of Whitfielshir, and I am here to investigate some peculiar happenstances

<_Willow_> aye, as am I

Victoria stands regally and appears pretty imposing, as she is somewhat tall for a lady

<_Willow_> would your situation have anything to do with coins that appear to have been "manufactured"?

ZenMook has joined #agww

<Matthew_Deckard> (poor Nim...)

<Victoria> Mistresss Willow, what knowledge do you have of mysterious coins?

<Lawrence> Lawrence Michael McCarthy ... law-enforcement-officer and novelist ... -> *ZenMook* hehe, no more ST needed :)

<_Willow_> or with a very strange ":feeling:" regading that place and its new owner

Victoria nods towards Willow and Lawrence.

_Willow_ take her silk pouch out and show the officer the "coins"

<Victoria> Well, do you happen to have one or more of those "coins" in your possession?

<_Willow_> do br carefull with them, I'm not sure what effects they may have

<Storyteller> Matt: Primal Urge + Perception diff 9

Lawrence takes a close look at the coins presented

<Victoria> If so, may I ask you politely to give them over to me for investigation, as they are connected to a ghasdtly deed of crime

<Lawrence> (i wonder if i would notice anything peculiar)

<Matthew_Deckard> !dice 5

<agww-dice> Matthew_Deckard rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 10 8 8 9

<Matthew_Deckard> (ok i know)

ZenMook is now known as ZenCadet

<Lawrence> (ST: Perception+Awareness ?)

Victoria takes out her metter for the Matter/Prime/Forces Procedure.

<Storyteller> Lawrence: The look like normal coins.

Sir_Blackname has joined #agww

<_Willow_> I was following the trail of the "wrongness" when I ran into a plague-spirit

Victoria looks into the group.

<_Willow_> who told me some very strange things

<Storyteller> Victoria: Same coins as before.

Matthew_Deckard tightens his grip on Victoria and whispers somethign about Lawrence being the undead...

<Sir_Blackname> Is back..What have I missed)

<Victoria> You have the impression she knows what she is doing, and she has a commanding presence

<Lawrence> May i ask what's special about these coins ... they appear like normal gold sovereigns to me

<Storyteller> A huge wave of entropy..someone almost colapsing..and the rest of the party meeting.

<Victoria> (Natural Leader Meris, Manip/Char 4 + Leadership 3 ^_^)

<Sir_Blackname> Ok..)

<Sir_Blackname> Ok)

Victoria looks at the officer.

<Victoria> May I take a look, please, dear sir?

<_Willow_> as i was saying it warned me about "the thing" in the house over thewre

<Lawrence> Sure ...

<Victoria> (Matt: Ok,)

Lawrence hands over the coins

<Victoria> Thank you very much, sir.

<_Willow_> *sigh*

Victoria scans them with Matter/Prime/Forces

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 3 9 1

<Victoria> 1 sux

<Storyteller> The same coins as before

<Victoria> Indeed. They are the same.

Matthew_Deckard is looking suspicusly at the undead thing... he constrains fro mattackign... but flowingly takes one of his Guns and loads it with Dragonbreath underneath his huge coat...

<Storyteller> Exactly the same too

<Lawrence> I assume we're all here because of Something that's going on at the Merry Maid over there ....

<Victoria> Well. It is obvious that there are peculiar things going on here.

<_Willow_> one of my customers came to me with these coins

<_Willow_> and explained he's been hired by somone named "john"

Victoria whispers to Matt...

<_Willow_> to carry, buy and oitherwise act for this ""john"

<Victoria> (whisper) Those coins are in fact stones that are cleverly disguised.)

Matthew_Deckard constrains a laugh at the mention of the name John...

<Matthew_Deckard> (whisper)Yes... you told me..

<_Willow_> thats the name the customer gave me

<Storyteller> (Yes, someone noticed the name trick)

<Victoria> Well, John is not a very uncommon name, I fear, Mistress willow

<_Willow_> he also said that his patron had bought the house over there

<_Willow_> (agsain with the "funny money")

<Sir_Blackname> * Stands and listens to this goins

<Sir_Blackname> *

<Victoria> Matt: well... This seems to be farther spreading that we could like

<_Willow_> the customer felt like he had been drain of spirit entergy

Victoria frowns deeply.

<Victoria> "Spirit Energy"?

<_Willow_> the spirit here said it ewas afriad of the Thing

<Victoria> WEll, you are a medoum, of course, but this tells me not much.

<_Willow_> and that it hurt to be around it

Victoria exchanges a glance with Spir Matt.

<_Willow_> and that the Thing changed things but did not change them

<Victoria> Sir

<Sir_Blackname> * Takes out a small silver case and takes out a cigarette *

Lawrence wonders what kind of company he got himself into this time ... he can barely make sense of about 40% of what is being spoken right now

<Sir_Blackname> * Lights it and looks around*

<Victoria> What "Thing"?

Lawrence flinches slightly as Sir_Blackname lights his cigarette

<_Willow_> the Thing that was in the house over there (which I think is now on the move)

<_Willow_> I think that wave of sickness was the Thing moving

<Victoria> Well, my meters gave me some peculiar reading from there.

<Victoria> The Ether around us is highly charged, so this is obviously connected

<_Willow_> it is very odd that there are NO spirits around the house

Victoria doesn't find that excatly odd.

<_Willow_> there is a very trong sense of magick about

Victoria would have found it more odd if there *were* spirits at all

<_Willow_> err strong

<Victoria> Well, I dig get a reading of Primal Energy, I take it this is what you refer to as "Magick"

Caelian has joined #agww

<Victoria> But it is nothing really superstitionalist - it is all scientifically quantifyable.

<_Willow_> probably

<Caelian> (back)

Victoria looks at the group.

<Storyteller> Someone runs out of the house. He's wearing a huge black cape...

<_Willow_> as I said, the spirit said that it hurt to be near the Thing

<Victoria> So... Would you please enlighten my as what is you ijnvolvement in this?

Matthew_Deckard twitches ...

<Victoria> Mistress Willow?

<Matthew_Deckard> THERE!

<Sir_Blackname> * He moves towards teh amn*

<Caelian> (waits for his ghost to drop)

<_Willow_> and that the Thing changed things without chnaging them

Victoria whirls around, directs her meter on the figure

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 6 1 6

<Victoria> 1 sux on Forces/Mind/Prime

_Willow_ looks where Matt points

Matthew_Deckard flips twin pistols from his coat...

_Willow_ does a spirit/life/prime scan

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 10 2 9 3

Caelian is now known as Lawrence

<_Willow_> 3 sux

<Storyteller> For those that scanned it: It has a faint reading of Primal Energy of the Static sort. For those that also used spirit. It has a very dimmed spirit.

<_Willow_> hmms very odd

<Victoria> Static Primal Energy again...

<Victoria> The same I read from the "coins"

<Sir_Blackname> * Draws a blade from his cain*

<Matthew_Deckard> IS it strong?

<Sir_Blackname> cane*

<Storyteller> And the personisrunning really fast (hmm spacebar is stucka bit)

Matthew_Deckard watches blackname very carefully....

<_Willow_> the spirit of the thing is "dimmed"

<Storyteller> ++++++++++++

<Matthew_Deckard> IT is a illsusion...

<Victoria> No the reading is very faint, especially when compared to the general bqckground disturbance here

<Storyteller> No, it's real

Lawrence runs after the cloaked figure ... activating "Unseen Presence" (and Celerity if needed to keep up with his speed)

<Storyteller> It's not too fast

Victoria sees that Lawrence runs and suddenly gets blurred...

<Storyteller> But it knows where to run..

<Storyteller> (he doesn't need celerity)

Matthew_Deckard stand his position listenign carefulyl around him?

Victoria remembers what matt told her

<Sir_Blackname> * Sheaths his blade*

<Victoria> Most intriguing. Indee, most intriguing...

<_Willow_> might I ask who is whom here

Matthew_Deckard mutters somwthing like... Wurm...

<Storyteller> Matt: You a carriage riding away.

<Storyteller> hear that is

<Matthew_Deckard> from where?

<Sir_Blackname> * Looks at Victoria*

<Storyteller> THe other side of the building

<Sir_Blackname> What is goingn on?

<Matthew_Deckard> This is a trick...!

Victoria stands on the street

Matthew_Deckard runs towards the allies around the whorehouse!

Lawrence tries to keep up with the cloaked figure

<Storyteller> Lawrence, when you catch the figure in the normal cloak, you notice it's just a normal kid, who looks frightened at you.

Victoria is 1.70m tall, pretty imposing for a lady, and her bearing is commanding and self-assured

<Storyteller> Matt: The carriage is a bit faster than you are normally..it rides away like it's being chased by the devil itself.

_Willow_ was introduced to Lady V and Blackname

<Victoria> Well, dear Sir, we are currently investigating some leads that are to a ghastly crime

<_Willow_> who are the others?

Matthew_Deckard checks if anyone can see him...

<Sir_Blackname> *Nods*

<_Willow_> yes I see you

<Storyteller> Just some "mugles"

<Matthew_Deckard> (i am running past you towards an alley)

Lawrence looks at the little boy ... "You shouldn't be out this late ... especially not in this neighbourhood" ...

<Victoria> (ST, is the League a pure secret society, or is it known?)

<Storyteller> (It's known)

<Matthew_Deckard> I'll use Leap of the kangaroo to jump to the building...

<Matthew_Deckard> (but not as the mi5 part)

<Victoria> (So, I could intruduce me as a member of it ?)

<Matthew_Deckard> (it is officialy a club for gentlemen)

<Storyteller> (You have leap of the kangaroo ?)

<Victoria> (*g* Well...)

Lawrence turns around and tries to head back towards his "companions"

Matthew_Deckard checks...

<_Willow_> (me think Lady V doesn't look like gentleMAN)

<Matthew_Deckard> (argh... i grabbed Resist Txin as the 4th gift)

<Victoria> (Not really...)

Matthew_Deckard runs like hell using a point of rage to catch up...

<Storyteller> okay...you manage to catch up to the carriage and jump on the back of it.

<Sir_Blackname> * Loosk at Miss Victoria*

Matthew_Deckard gets on top of the carriage...

Victoria finds Sir Matthess athletic prowess impressive ^_^

Plague_Spirit is now known as Driver

<Driver> hey, what are you doing tehre ?

Matthew_Deckard yells STOP!

<Driver> Why

Matthew_Deckard is toting a gun in his hand...

<Victoria> Well, I guess it is time to follow proper Etiquette and go a bout a reall introdution.

Driver stops as fast as he can manage

Matthew_Deckard is also taller then the man...

_Willow_ listens

<Matthew_Deckard> Thank you...

<Victoria> Well, I'm Lady Victoria Pembroke.

Matthew_Deckard orders the driver to step off...

Victoria looks at Lawrence

<Driver> Some of the ladies walk outside the establishment, they are laughing and giggling.

<Lawrence> (wasn't entirely aware if i reached you all again)

<Victoria> (Well, I try to figure out who is where...)

Driver steps off

<Victoria> (Where to the ladies walk to?

<Driver> Only Matt is on the back of the escaping carriage..Lawrence has just returned

Matthew_Deckard opens the carrieg doors carefulyl with his arm still on the gun...

<Matthew_Deckard> (what do i see)

<Storyteller> The carriage is empty

Matthew_Deckard smells the carriege

<Matthew_Deckard> any smells i recognize?

<Storyteller> Nope

<Matthew_Deckard> like the one in the library?

<Storyteller> Nope

Matthew_Deckard turns to the driver...

<Matthew_Deckard> who paid you to run this fast?

<Storyteller> The ladies are walking in the streets. They are going to work.

<Victoria> (Where do the ladies walk to? Towards us? How far are they away?)

<Driver> Some guy at the Merry Maid.

<Storyteller> Toward you..

Matthew_Deckard seems to be talking with the driver of the coach...

<Matthew_Deckard> how did he look?

Victoria looks some what disgusted at the prostitutes.

<Driver> In his fourties..

<Sir_Blackname> Looks at Victoria*

<Sir_Blackname> Call me Ghost

<Driver> Greying hair, looked like he had a rough day.

<Sir_Blackname> * He move stowards the ladies coming out*

<Victoria> Sir Ghost...

Victoria nods

Lawrence arrives back outside the Merry Maid ... noticing most of the "investigation crowd" is still present

<Matthew_Deckard> I need to warn you... i am from scotland Yard's special division... we are looking for a suspect that is handing fake soverigns...

<Matthew_Deckard> HE has probably tricked you...

<Driver> I don't know anything about it.

<Sir_Blackname> * Stops one of teh ladies*

Matthew_Deckard tries to see if the smell of the man...

<Sir_Blackname> Excuse me , Miss

<Victoria> (SCotland Yard - is that our official cover?)

_Willow_ is Willow

<Matthew_Deckard> (no... but it works...)

<Victoria> (LOL)

Whore has joined #agww

_Moira_ is Moira, Willow's ward

<Driver> The man is afraid

Victoria nods to Willow and Moira.

<Matthew_Deckard> (is he human ?)

<Driver> Yes

<Matthew_Deckard> Okay you may leave...

ZenCadet thinks it's incredible that the nick "Whore" isn't already used somewhere out there in IRC Land... :)

Matthew_Deckard flips him a silver coin...

Victoria scans the whores, just in case

<Whore> Yes Hon' How may I be of serive ?

<Victoria> (Mind/Prime/Forces/Matter)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 10 6 2

<Victoria> (3 sux)

<Sir_Blackname> I am wondering..Have you seen any odd men lately....I work with the Police and we are looking for a odd man who just escaped our Custody

Matthew_Deckard heads back towards his companions seeing that they are sourrounded by ladies of the street...

<Whore> Odd man ? How many odd mans do you think we see each day ?

Whore giggles

Matthew_Deckard is looking carefully around him... trying to find that smell...

<Whore> (the others giggle too)

<Victoria> (Ghost, addressing me?)

<Sir_Blackname> Let me be more extact....Speaking of things taht seemed , foolish

Lawrence approaches his companions .... "the cloaked figure was a distraction ... just a kid wearing a large black cape

<Sir_Blackname> With any scars or tattos...Or a foriegn look

Victoria looks at Lawrence and nods.

Whore is very attractive for a whore..as are all the other girls.

<Sir_Blackname> I am new with the Department

<Victoria> This was somehow to be expected

<Sir_Blackname> They forgot to give me a discriptio

Matthew_Deckard looks at the roofs...

<Sir_Blackname> All they said is that he might be in merry maid

<_Willow_> pardon

Lawrence looks at Victoria ... where did Your companion run of too if I may ask Milady ?

<_Willow_> the person they are asking about is the new owner

<Whore> Ah, John Dickens

<_Willow_> yes thats it

<Whore> Yes, what's wrong with him ?

Matthew_Deckard is coming from close to the whorehosue looking at the rooftops carefully...

_Willow_ scans her life / spirit

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 8 8 7 4

<Storyteller> For those of you paying attention. All these girls have appearance 5 and look very healthy.

<_Willow_> 2 sux

<Victoria> Welhe followed abother lead, it seems. We belong both to a special division of Scotland yard and we have been send to investigate a murder that took place in the British museum. A most ghastly murder, I may add

<Matthew_Deckard> (too healthy for Whitechapel whores... right?)

<Storyteller> (yep)

<_Willow_> right

Matthew_Deckard slows down his coming closer and keeps his guns handy...

Lawrence takes out his notebook ... and scribbles some notes "suspect uses name: John Dickens ... apparently new owner of Merry Maid establishment"

<_Willow_> (I'm looking to see if there was life pttern "adjustments"_

<Sir_Blackname> *Looks arounds and leaves form the Whore *

<Victoria> (Willow how do you go about your rote?)

Matthew_Deckard shows a hand singal to Victoria showin the whores and a waving in a no-no fashin...

<Lawrence> (that would be me ... Perception 4 (Attentive))

<_Willow_> (I'm guessing its used better body type chnages... which should show up a pattern leakage)

Victoria nods at Matt.

<Victoria> (Willow do you make gestures or stuff?)

Victoria looks at what Willow does & directs her meter on her. (Mind/Forces/Prime Scan)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 6 4 9

<Storyteller> I'll allow her to use Life 1 without much tricks.

<Victoria> Ok. Primal Energy at work...

Victoria nods

<Storyteller> Willow, these girls have the same muted spirit you saw earlier in the customer....but they seem to have no pattern leakage.

<Sir_Blackname> Keeps an eye with towards his sourrdins*

Matthew_Deckard concentrates on the sounds around him... there must be something other then people talking...

_Willow_ looks at the subject -- attempting to use her knowledge of medicine and skill withj dignosis

<Storyteller> People making merry, people talking, music, footsteps of people (plural) trying to move unnoticed...all the usual stuff.

Victoria thinks it is peeculiar that these people have gathered here for no reason, so she directs her meter at the two men, too

<Lawrence> i was asked to investigate a series of missing persons ... i got a strong feeling about this hooded figure which i followed here to the Merry Maid ... that's why i suddenly ran off after the little kid

<_Willow_> ok -- there life pattern was no meessed with, but they have the muted spirit of 'customer

<Victoria> (Prime/Forec/Matter/Mind at Lawrence)

<_Willow_> yes?

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 4 2 7

<Victoria> (and Ghost)

<Victoria> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Victoria rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 8 7 2

<Victoria> (Ok, I guess I should get a prime reading from Ghost when he doesn't cloak actively)

<Storyteller> One seems to be enlightened, the other one is a big resevoir of Static and Entropic Prime energy.

<Victoria> (But what do I read from the Vampire?)

<Sir_Blackname> * I have Arcane on

<Victoria> (Ag. Thx.)

Victoria nods sagely.

<Victoria> (Ghost: Arcane doesn't work against an active scan with Prime)

<Matthew_Deckard> (arcane doesn't work now... it helps people not to find you and to stop rmembering you..)

<_Willow_> ok where were we with intro?

Matthew_Deckard looks at the Maid's windows...

Victoria leans to Matt and whispers her finding to him - two Mages and a leech, obviously. Very peculiar)

<Storyteller> There's light burning there, and people making merry.

<Sir_Blackname> '* Looks at Matt*

_Willow_ looks at matt

<Sir_Blackname> * KLoosk at where he is looking*

<Whore> Anything else, we can do for you hon' ?

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 7 3 2 10

<Storyteller> Lawrence: yes, you hear her whisper, but not what.

<Sir_Blackname> * Leans to a wall and starts to think on what to do*

<Victoria> (ST: BTW, did Mycroft *want me to recruit more people?)

<_Willow_> (ponders why the "ladies" are so healthy)

Victoria looks at Ghost and Willow with great interest

<_Willow_> yes, M'am?

<Sir_Blackname> * Keep thinking *

<Victoria> Oh, Mistress Willow, I was just thinking...

<Whore> Okay girls, lets get going..

<Storyteller> And here I am intending to end this session.

<Victoria> (ST: How far does my authority reach - can I simply recruit people? Or is it even expected of me?)

<Sir_Blackname> * Lights up another smoke *

<Matthew_Deckard> ok we are done?

Lawrence flinches again ...

Matthew_Deckard is now known as Asm0dai

<Asm0dai> great...

<Victoria> 00:30...

Sir_Blackname is now known as Phonix357

<Victoria> HM... I guess I need to igure out how much I may tell others about the league and if I'm allowed to recruit people at will

<Victoria> figure

<Storyteller> Yes, you are allowed to recruit new people.

Lawrence is now known as Caelian

<Victoria> (ST: Ok. Good that I know now :-)

Victoria is now known as AC_Newton

<Storyteller> You can offer money, or pardons for past and future crimes

AC_Newton has to figure out a way how to use Forces 3 in this setting. Raygun might be a bit too modern...

<Storyteller> Willow, you fight it out with Asmo.

_Willow_ grins

Storyteller doesn't want to get in between :)

<Asm0dai> okay i still need a reason not to kill that bloodsucker as soon as he looks at me or victoria in a wrong way.. :)

AC_Newton might find uses for him

<Storyteller> grr...need a screwdriver to open my keyboard...AGAIN...

<AC_Newton> We can use him as cannon fodder

<Asm0dai> heh...

<Storyteller> Tobacco in my keyboard

<Asm0dai> hmmm vampirees are a cool bullet shield...

<Phonix357> Lol
