Matthew_Deckard sits the little children around him and starts a nice fire... So hear a story about a knight... uhhhrm wrong story... In England in the age of the reign of the great Honorable queen Victoria, the agents of the League - Lady Victoria and Sir Matthew were caleld by Mycroft Holmes to the national museum for an extraordinary

_Willow_ wonders about luggage

sneeuwbal has joined #agww

<sneeuwbal> (hey, party people)

<Lawrence> (hoi)

<Storyteller> (stop interupting Matthew's recap... (hoi sneeuwbal))

Matthew_Deckard continues ...revalation... sombody has entred the archives and killing the librarians in the process stole a book about Ceaser's encounters with the Library of Alexandria... with help of Sir matthew's... unique perspective... they went to Whitechapel and searched for a certain man ina public house of doubtable morality for he was the suspect...

<Victoria> (re)

Matthew_Deckard continues ...in front of the building our interpid adventurers met a mild mannered occult shopkeeper tht was tricked into accepting magicaly enhanced gold, and a dead corpse that was skulking around... again Sir MAtthew's uncanny perception revealed the nature of the interloper... after being tricked by a number of fake "escapees" from the brothel the characters entered the brothel...

Matthew_Deckard goes on... there we found out that the owner, the man we have been searching for, has just left... after bribing our way into his ofice we carefully explored the location, only to discover a Pentagram mareked in dead blood that was obvisuly used for some dastardly demonic ritual...

Matthew_Deckard continues flaring up... There the interpid Sir Deckard confronted the dead man about his nature for he was obvisuly aligned with the dad blood here... alas he wa wrong... and the corpse ran into the night... Afterwards the group met in the Oxford club for gentlemen (provison of Sir Matthew's status) to asee what they know... unexpectedly a latter came from the Leech informg the interpid group that the man they were looking for had left En

Matthew_Deckard concludes The agents sent the adequate telagrams to prpare for their trip, and the beautifull yet intelligent Lady Victoria offered the services of her Skyship... all the members of the group went to their homes to preapre for their leave... they are to meet in 8 days near s amall village outsie of London and head for Egypt... now our interpid heroes have started to goa on a juerny that will surely be rmembered in the secret annals of his

<Matthew_Deckard> (adequate? :) i think the Style is quite proper as well :))

<Matthew_Deckard> (oh and i do hope you logged this :))

<Victoria> :-)

Storyteller nods

<Storyteller> good recap

<Matthew_Deckard> (me starts to clean his mouse...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (why thank you, honorable sir...)

Lawrence makes mental note ... "corpse" will not get within 20m distance of "furrball"

<Storyteller> Lets start okay :)

<Matthew_Deckard> (you don't know i am a furball :))

<Storyteller> The next morning, Sir Matthew and Widow O'Day have an appointment somewhere in the beautiful but smelly town of London.

<Matthew_Deckard> (besides there was ven a comment on sir Deckard's conslusion being wrong... )

<bystander> (hey! It is NOT smelly)

Victoria is already en route to her Estate

<Lawrence> (I Do ... I saw it with my Auspex)

<Matthew_Deckard> (this is Steampunk victorian england... besides i've been to London.. .the stench is dependant of the part you are in :))

<Matthew_Deckard> (hardly...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (you had 3 or 4 suxx? you had 2...)

<_Willow_> (we offers life magick to adjust the sensing of the smell ;))

<Matthew_Deckard> (heh :)

<Lawrence> (i just leave it to the ST ... as far as my recollection goes ... i know)

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay and i realyl wnated not to kill him... now he knows too much.. to bad for him ;))

<Storyteller> To Widow O'Day and Sir Matthew somewhere in London.

<Storyteller> (You had an appointment today..)

<_Willow_> Willow and Moira have packed up trunks for the journey and some additional stuff, (dr bag and pack for "adventuring"

Matthew_Deckard is in his villa on the London outskirts after reporting to hies elders in London's sept that he will require leave... he packs his equipment and prepares the house for his extneded leave... the servants are getttign their orders and the rooms that won't be used arre covered in sheets...

<bystander> (later, people. thanks for letting me lurk around. :))

<Victoria> (By Tariq)

<Matthew_Deckard> (no problem :))

<_Willow_> and various "occult" paraphenalia in case a ritual needs to be run))

bystander has left #agww

<Matthew_Deckard> (come back :))

Mycroft has joined #agww

_Willow_ 's daughter (Erin) and Sean will look after the store

<Storyteller> Lady Victoria, your travel up north is not that comfortable as you'd wish. You have a (stereo-)typical English day. In the morning dense fog, around noon it pours and the rest of the day it rains too.

Victoria is on the (hopefully) uneventful (and very boring) journey to her estate which will taker at about 5 days

Victoria is not amused at all

Matthew_Deckard gives his butler the ordrs and head to the attic... soon he prepares the choice of his armoury that may best fit this African venture... after choosing the proper weaponry, he soon packds them neatly in his special travellign case with guns loading them with the diffrent kids of ammo he uses... after doing that he opens the case and lights few candles... in the fire of the candles he puts some tobacco, and getign rid of his suit, stayign

Matthew_Deckard prepares to ask the spirits for a short help from them in the from of the temporary gifts from them - talens...

<Victoria> As the night sets in, I decide to find a little inn or B&B to stay for the night

<Storyteller> Mr. Lawrence, the ship you are on is quite speedy and the owner has provided a few "snacks".

<Lawrence> that's most attentive :)

<Storyteller> (I'm going to speed this up)

<Victoria> (Good idea)

<Storyteller> Miss Victoria, after a travel of 5 days (and 3 days of downpour) you arrive at your mansion.

_Willow_ and Moira arrange transportation to the "pickup pplace" with their "stuff"

<Storyteller> You have your servants prepare your luggage and do the little work in your labratory you still had (wanted) to do.

<Storyteller> Sir Matthew asks the spirits for their assistance (and gets his talens)

<Matthew_Deckard> (how many ? and what type ?)

<Storyteller> (10 of each type you requested)

<Storyteller> (So stun bullets, poisoned bullets and (fire bullets??)

<Matthew_Deckard> (yep i also wanted to make some of those travel and healing charms...)

<Storyteller> (tell me later about them, I think it's okay)

<Matthew_Deckard> (great :))

<Matthew_Deckard> (they are from the books nayway... unliek the bullets)

<Victoria> (So I hope I arrived home?)

<Victoria> (If yes, I will ask my maid to draw me a hot bath)

<Storyteller> She will give you the bath.. (I already passed that one._

<Victoria> (Ok. Then I will see to it that my Zeppelin is fully outfitted etc)

<Storyteller> It will be as well as your luggage that will be packed, all 10 trunks.

<Storyteller> After a short flight of slightly less than a day you arrive on time at rendez-vous point.

Matthew_Deckard is waiting ina a completely white suit, next to him is a large trunk and on it a smaller travel trunk... he is looking to the air, twirling his cane... -> *Matthew_Deckard* tell me which travel and healing talens you want to have (only have base book, so just tell me what they do)

Victoria parks her airship at a fitting place (a large lawn ^_^)

_Willow_ and Moira arrive at the travel departure location

Victoria throws down the holding ropes and anchor ^_^

<_Willow_> We each have 2 trunks, Willow has a small black leather bag with handles and her staff.

<_Willow_> both of them are dressed in proper clothes for a journey

Victoria wears a pilot outfit - cream coloured leather pantnt, leather jacket and cap, a white scarf around her neck

<Victoria> pants

/msg: insufficient parameters

<Matthew_Deckard> Good Day, milady

Matthew_Deckard bows -> *Lawrence* for your mission you have also been borrowed a very rare artifact made by an albino Tremere back in the days he still was a Mage...

Victoria climbs down the ropeladder that leads to the cabin

Matthew_Deckard hands a small package wrapped in golden paper with a red decorating bow...

<Victoria> The Anchor is at the grounds and fixed the airship

<Victoria> Hello Sir Matthew!

Victoria smiles

<Victoria> Good Day Mrs.O'Day, Moira

_Moira_ waves

Matthew_Deckard hands a small package wrapped in golden paper with a red decorating bow...

Matthew_Deckard smiles...

<Victoria> Oh, thank you, Sir Matthew

<_Willow_> Good Day

<Matthew_Deckard> ... this is my due to you...

Victoria takes the parcel and unwraps it curiously

<Victoria> Ah! The books!!

Victoria smiles brightly at Matt

<Victoria> Thanks you

Matthew_Deckard smiles as Victoria goes through the top books and notices that under them is the brand new book of Dr. Neumann on Electricity... to come out of print in next year...

<Victoria> Wow!

<Matthew_Deckard> Why no need to thank me, milady... i am simly repaying your courtesy...

Victoria studies it in utter fascination

<Victoria> Thank you *very*much!

<Victoria> So you know Dr.Neumann?

<Victoria> That's splendid!

<Matthew_Deckard> I met him once... in Germany... but i am quite familiar with his work... some colleagues of mine got this unabriged edition... the general edition has some changes and simplifications...

<Matthew_Deckard>I beleive you will find the book to your liking...

<Victoria> I am very sure of this!

<Victoria> Electricity is such a fascinating subject!

<Matthew_Deckard> ... so this is your skyhip?

<Victoria> Yes

Matthew_Deckard seems interested...

Victoria looks up

<Victoria> This is the 'Queen Victoria VII'

<Matthew_Deckard> WEll i thought we were only having the First

<Victoria> I built her mostly myself. Well, the engines, I mean

<Victoria> The hgull was manufactures according to my plans at an airship yard

<Matthew_Deckard> What are you using as the gas? and what sort of propulsion are you using?

<Victoria> Ah well, I have to admit, the first six airships were not fully thought out...

<Victoria> Well, the QV7 flies on helium.

<Victoria> My first attempts with hydrogen taught me that this was not the best solution

<Victoria> The propulsion system is a very new principle for airships.

<Matthew_Deckard> ... yes i heard i have discovered personnaly it was quite flamable...

Mycroft comes to take a look too

<Victoria> Have you ever heard of rocket propulsion?

Matthew_Deckard remebers his fight on the "Shadow" in Unites States last year... that maniac Zorbo almost killed them with his device that thre flame...

_Willow_ looks at this other person and wonder whom they are?

<Victoria> I added an engine that compresses the air and emit a jet of air to propell the ship forwards

<Matthew_Deckard> i have heard of postulatution.. but i thought it was not working yet...

Mycroft walks around the airship

<Victoria> Well, my first ships were using petrol fueled rotors, but they were pretty slow

_Willow_ walks over to him and says "hello?"

Mycroft is a big man (all dimensions) and is wearing a nicely tailored suit and is walking with a cane.

<Matthew_Deckard> Fascinating... you will have to show me how exactly you did that... i am quite used to mechanical propulsion.. but this is something new...

<Victoria> Yes.

<Matthew_Deckard> (did i notice mycroft ?)

Victoria smiles.

_Willow_ is wearing a taveling dress and walks with a staff

<Mycroft> (nah, too busy talking with Victoria)

<Victoria> It uses two turbines

<Mycroft> Hello

<Matthew_Deckard> turbines?

<Victoria> Oh, hello Mr.Mycroft

<Matthew_Deckard> what is that?

<_Willow_> I'm Widow O'Day.

<Victoria> I'm sorry, I didn't see you approaching

<_Willow_> and you are?

<Mycroft> Nice to meet you Miss O'Day, Mycroft, Mycroft Holmes.

_Willow_ curteys

<_Willow_> I take it you know folks?

<Matthew_Deckard> (willow you heard of Sherlock... but probably never ofa "Mycroft")

<Mycroft> Lady Victoria, Sir Matthew *me nods in their direction*

_Moira_ waves to all present

<Matthew_Deckard> ... oh Sir...

<Matthew_Deckard> i have not seen you coming...

<Mycroft> Yes, Sir Matthew ?

<Matthew_Deckard> This is Willow o' Day... our hired assitant...

<Matthew_Deckard> YOu approved the funding for her retainer?

LadyVicky has joined #agww

<_Willow_> I'm a healer and medium

<LadyVicky> (re)

<Matthew_Deckard> She also seems to have extraordinary talents...

Mycroft nods

<LadyVicky> (Damn!! My whole explanation got eaten up)

LadyVicky is now known as Victoria

<Matthew_Deckard> ... maybe we should put her on the consultant list if she is provenb capable?

<Mycroft> perhaps..

_Moira_ is Moira -- traveling companion, nurse and helper

<Victoria> (Well, imagine that Vicky explained how the stuff works)

Mycroft looks at Willow and Moira for a long time.

Victoria stands next to Mycroft, too

<Victoria> Yes, I think they might prove a valuable asset

<Matthew_Deckard> Sir... any additional information...

<Matthew_Deckard> or orders?

Mycroft seems a little bit distracted...

<Matthew_Deckard> the means of contact remain the same? Telegrams at the address?

<Matthew_Deckard> Sir?

<_Willow_> (/me looks back -- mumbling in Iwapo'... life/spirit/prime scan (is she being scanned?)

<Mycroft> (no)

_Willow_ asks how do we board?

<Mycroft> Widow O'Day, Wife of Conner O'Day.. runs a shop for occult matters, daughter Erin, owns a wolf named Sean...

<Mycroft> (Widdow, should be Willow)

<_Willow_> (both work

<_Willow_> quite so... Erin and Sean are watching the shop

<Matthew_Deckard> sir... you have already checkd her history?

<Mycroft> Sir Matthew, you will probably have some problem contacting us. There is not a real way of telegraphing me from Egypt.

<Matthew_Deckard> The office in Cairo?

<Mycroft> We have an agent in Cairo..

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes?

<Matthew_Deckard> We are to find him upon landfall?

<Mycroft> But thats about our presence there at the moment. Our Egypt office is in the middle of a reorganisation, they ran in some problems lately.

<Mycroft> Yes, thats the plan.

<Matthew_Deckard> And the telegraph in Cairo?

<Mycroft> Not available at the moment.

<Matthew_Deckard> I can use standard encryption if we use standad means...

<Matthew_Deckard> Aaah...

<Matthew_Deckard> That is a shame...

<Matthew_Deckard> Sir... maybe i should use the.. netherworld... to send you messages?

<Matthew_Deckard> (he knows what i refer to as the netherworld in front of others...)

Matthew_Deckard sets mode: +o Storyteller

Matthew_Deckard sets mode: +o Victoria

<Mycroft> If it's really necessary, but please just keep contact to a minimum as usual.

<Matthew_Deckard> As usual...

<Matthew_Deckard> We will take care of this sir... what are the parameters?

<Victoria> (Sorry, I have a horrible connection today :-( )

<Matthew_Deckard> Are we jsut to restrain the escapee or pursue him and his search?

<Mycroft> You are to find out what it is he is searching, stop him if he's a threat to the Empire, and kill him if capturing him alive seems a too big a risk.

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes, sir...

<Matthew_Deckard> do we have any indication what he really is after?

<Mycroft> The only thing I know is that he seems quite interested in the lost Library of Alexandria...

<Matthew_Deckard> the library of Alexandria was supposed to be destroyed almost 2 millenia ago...

<Mycroft> Actually, your history knowledge is flawed. It was first destroyed during Caesars war in Egypt, but Caesar rebuild it and it flourished again.

<Victoria> Well, I read the book this horrible monster seems to have stolen

<Matthew_Deckard> YEs.. but it was destroyed and burned to the ground later...

<Victoria> It did indeed deal with Cesar and the library

<Mycroft> It sank in the Sea somewhere in the 14th century.

<_Willow_> /me agrees the Thing is a monster

<Matthew_Deckard> We have no eveidence of monstorsity... those girls were claiming he looked like a man..

<Matthew_Deckard> and there was no prrof of his allegiance or goals... all we saw was the corpses...

<_Willow_> yes, well the spirit I talked to outside that House said it hurt to be near it

<Matthew_Deckard> ... and we are still not sure if he was the one thatexecued the librarians...

<Matthew_Deckard> ...the ladies mentioned that he had a visitor...

<_Willow_> my clients who dealt with it seemed to be drained of spirit

<Mycroft> The Egyptian, yes.. I know... you told me already..

<Mycroft> He's a french agent of dubious repute.

<Matthew_Deckard> Do we have any information about him?

<Matthew_Deckard> is he another extraordinary?

<Matthew_Deckard> or is he just a dubios spy of a sagging nation?

<Mycroft> Well, he only recently appeared in our sights, but we have seen him talk with several known French agents, who all treat him with a certain respect, the kind of respect you have for someone who is your superior or just creeps you out.

<Mycroft> Either way, thats about all the intel we have on him.

<Mycroft> Miss O'Day ?

<Matthew_Deckard> We are to be carefull around him then...

<_Willow_> I was saying the Spirit I talked to told me it "hurt to be near" it

<Mycroft> Yes, I heard that, but I wanted to tell you something different.

<Mycroft> It would be wiser if you did not talk to anyone outside this circle about what you just heard. It may get you in danger.

<_Willow_> and my clients that had dealt with it (the maker of the fake coins)

<_Willow_> seems drained of spirit energy

<Mycroft> I know

<_Willow_> (as did the Ladies, altho they seemed to be unsuually healthy as well)

<Mycroft> Sir Matthew and Victoria already mentioned your observations to me.

<_Willow_> ok

<Mycroft> There was only one other occurance of symptons like you described in the Empire before.

Matthew_Deckard seems to embarrasses by WIllow talkign to Sir Holmes the things she should already know he was infomred on...

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes?

<_Willow_> umm my Gifts don't include telepath

<_Willow_> I'm sorry, I cut you off, you were saying about previous similar incidents

<Mycroft> It was in India, some strange cult that gave us quite some problems. The cultists were faster, stronger, healthier and more beautifull than any normal person. But they were...we'll....empty husks worshipping some demon-god of theirs.

Matthew_Deckard grits his teeth at Willow not being respectfulll... he wil need to talk to her...

<Matthew_Deckard> i heard of that... i myself haven't met any of those.. but India is flled with strnage things...

<Matthew_Deckard> COuld it be the cult has moved to Britain?

<Victoria> (Ok, I need to restart my network on this machine)

Victoria has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

<Mycroft> It didn't... some of our agents there sealed the demon-god in his temple....there is no way he could have left there.

<Storyteller> (break for a while)

<Storyteller> (till Stayka returns)

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay i need it as well)

Victoria has joined #agww

<Victoria> (re)

<Victoria> (What did I miss?)

<Storyteller> (nothing, I've taken a small break)

<sneeuwbal> (off for laserquest, tarra all)

<Storyteller> (Matt, Willow still there ?)

<Matthew_Deckard> (back)

<Victoria> (thx)

<Mycroft> It didn't... some of our agents there sealed the demon-god in his temple....there is no way he could have left there.

Victoria is now known as mm

mm is now known as Victoria

<Mycroft> (?)

<Victoria> (I'm setting the aliases new)

<Matthew_Deckard> Fascinating...

<Mycroft> But it was something I needed to tell, just so you know that you may be up to something similar.

<Victoria> A demoin god?

<Matthew_Deckard> What if somebody had stopped the binding?

Victoria looks alarmed

<Victoria> THis doesn't sound well

<Mycroft> Then we would know about it.

<Mycroft> I've had an agent check the seal the moment your report came back. It's still in place and the demon-god is still there.

<Matthew_Deckard> That is well...

<Matthew_Deckard> Sir we should be heading towards Egypt...

<Mycroft> Yes, you should.

<Matthew_Deckard> i have the file yo ugave me on our contact in Cairo...

<Matthew_Deckard> any other mission parmateres?

<Matthew_Deckard> Or priorities?

<Mycroft> Just be carefull, all of you.

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes sir...

<Victoria> Well, I can't say I feel comfortable at the thought maybe to confront a Demon God!

<Matthew_Deckard> what will we do with the... leech...

<Mycroft> He's working towards the same goal as you are...as far as I know... so give him the benefit of the doubt.

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes, sir...

<Mycroft> Miss O'Day, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Matthew_Deckard seems to look down...

<Victoria> Well, I think we should try to get all the information from him we can get - and stay careful

<Victoria> If he gets to cheeky, I'm sure I'll find ways to keep him at bay

<Mycroft> (/me waves his hand in front of Willow and Moira..they seem to be quite absent-minded *g*)

<Matthew_Deckard> We will hurry back sir... i will take care we at least contact you once in two weeks on the situation

Mycroft nods

Mycroft hands you a folder with the contact information about the agent going to assist you.

<Victoria> Well, fortunately our journey won't take tpoo long

<Victoria> If need be, I could try to tune the engines of my airship a bit. Although this might be somewhat risky...

_Willow_ is back sorry

<Mycroft> Miss O'Day, Moira... it was a pleasure to meet you.

_Willow_ nods -- liokewise

Mycroft walks to his carriage

Matthew_Deckard puts his hands on the back of his back...

<Victoria> Good bye, Sir...

Matthew_Deckard heads to Willow...

<Matthew_Deckard> Miss O' Day may i take your bags to the ship?

Mycroft has left #agww

<Victoria> I can use the hoisting winch

<Matthew_Deckard> I would also like to warn you... you are not to act this impertinent in front of Mr. Holmes... you are an outisde asociate, and yo uare to act like that... Mr. Holmes is an extrmely important person, and he has quite some respect due...

Matthew_Deckard takes one of the trunks and takes it to the winch...

Victoria climbs up the ropeladder

Victoria activated the motor as the trunk is safely fixed

<Matthew_Deckard> Ahhh... Lady Victoria... i would like to aks you to be very carefull with the large trunk i have brought,,,

<Victoria> Slowly, the trunk gets hoised up into the cabin of the airship

<Victoria> Of course, Sir Matthew

Matthew_Deckard takes all the trunks near the winch and quickly heads up the ladder to help unloading so Lady Victoria needs not to worry...

Victoria smiles at Sir Matthew

<Victoria> THank you.

<Victoria> You are definitely far stronger than me

Matthew_Deckard smiles and takes care of the luggage...

<Matthew_Deckard> lady victoria... you don't have any crew on this ship but you?

<_Willow_>

<Storyteller> (can I speed things up again ?)

Matthew_Deckard helps Willow climb up...

<Victoria> Well, I suffice, normally

<Victoria> (Sure, ST)

<Matthew_Deckard> (ok if you ask me... but we describe the ride.. and the sights... and the time... less then 3 days probably it took the Orient Express 3 days Paris - Istanbul)

<Matthew_Deckard> (not we... you)

<Matthew_Deckard> (oh and Stayka should describe the ship... the rooms and the crew...)

<Storyteller> (This is slower...but it's still comfortable)

<Victoria> (*g* Hm. Dunno how long it took the real zeppelins to get over the ocean...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (we are not going over any ocean :))

<Storyteller> (I guess it's about 3 weeks travel)

<Matthew_Deckard> (i'd guess the route is The Canal -> France ->Switzerland -> Italy -> Greece -> Turkey -> Egypt if it is so long... but i still think it should be faster...)

<Storyteller> (Too may mountains)

<Storyteller> (Many even)

<Matthew_Deckard> (umkay boss.. and we do need to take breaks and fuel the ship...)

<Storyteller> (Yep. And the ship is more influenced by weather than a train)

<Victoria> (Yup. But we have engines, that's we are faster than a balloon

<Storyteller> (And I think that the Canal -> France -> Marseille ->Italy -> Malta -> North-Africa ->Egypt might be a better trip for an airship.

<Victoria> (I think ST is right)

<Victoria> (We don't want to risk the Alps)

<Matthew_Deckard> (actualy i think France -> Spain -> Gibraltar -> Algiers -> Egypt would be faster)

<Storyteller> (Mountains again)

<Matthew_Deckard> (you cna go by the coastline... and there is less open see to go over...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (sea)

_Willow_ has joined #agww

<Victoria> (Re Willow)

<Storyteller> (My line has only Italy-Africa as Sea to cross..

<Matthew_Deckard> (hey :))

<Storyteller> (and no high mountains)

<Storyteller> Anyhow, it's up to Victoria :)

<Victoria> (I like the Marseille - Malta route)

<Matthew_Deckard> (well i am up for going near Malta...)

<Matthew_Deckard> (I love Corto Maltese... btw... maybe we could meet his mother the gypsy seer :))

<Storyteller> Well the trip from London to France is pretty uneventfull, from the Airship you see the Canal under you and the weather isn't as good as it could be, but it's manageable...

<Storyteller> Then you cross the hilly green lands side of France, dotted with small villages and farms and come to the center.

<Storyteller> Here there is a slight problem with travel times, if you want to keep up a decent speed you will have to stop from around 2pm to 7pm because of the strong northern wind the center of France is known for.

Matthew_Deckard uses a chance in a calm night when thenight is clear to climb on top of the baloon and watch the stars...

<Storyteller> Quite a few from up there.

<Storyteller> (view, I meant to say View)

Matthew_Deckard enjoys himself while the ship slowly goes over the ground...

<Storyteller> When you are about a day removed from Marseille there is a huge black mass of clouds at the horizon, nearing you pretty fast.

<_Willow_> oh dear -- storm clouds?

<Storyteller> yep

Matthew_Deckard has a wish to howl... but that would make questions... and he has now wish for them... so he simpyl enjoys the breeze and returns to the cabin...

Matthew_Deckard looks at them...

<Matthew_Deckard> (do they look natural ?)

<Storyteller> (yep, just a big storm brewing)

<Matthew_Deckard> Miss Victoria... should we be throwing th anchor?

<Matthew_Deckard> There seems quite a storm brewing...

<Victoria> Well, I think this would be wise

<Victoria> (Sorry, was lagging again, it seems)

<Victoria> We can't ouitrun the storm, and I don't think we can fly over it.

<Victoria> So we best weather it near the ground

<Storyteller> (too dangerous)

<_Willow_> ok

<Victoria> (What is too dangerous?))

<Storyteller> (flying over it)

<Victoria> (Yeah. That's what I meant :-)

<Storyteller> The storm comes close quite fast, and you can already feel the wind tugging at teh Airship.

Victoria steers the zeppelin down and throws the anchor

<Victoria> (It is Forces-enhanced, BTW. )

<Storyteller> roll Piloting+Wits.

<Victoria> (Need I roll Arete ?)

<Storyteller> (nah)

<Victoria> !dice 4

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

<Storyteller> You steer the zeppelin down as fast as you dare, when you reach the ground your estimate is that you only have a few minutes before the storm hits you. The wind is tugging quite hard at the Airship.

<Matthew_Deckard> Lady Victoria do you need any help?

<Storyteller> The best course of action is to very strongly anchor the ship.....

Matthew_Deckard takes of his overcoat and his shoulder holsters can be seen again... he seems eager to help with the landing...

LadyVicky has joined #agww

<LadyVicky> (Damn. This is no fun anymore)

Victoria has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

<LadyVicky> (I lost a neat long description again)

<LadyVicky> (Okay... Once more)

LadyVicky is now known as Victoria

Victoria would have uttered a couple of very un-ladylike curses, if this wouldn't have been unbecoming

<Victoria> So she just steers the ship down and anchors it as safely as possible.

<Victoria> THe anchor is enhanced with a cohesion-enhancer (Forces 3)

<Victoria> and it should keep the airship safely in place

<Victoria> !dice 4

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

<Victoria> (1 sux for the enhancement of the anchoring)

Storyteller nods

<_Willow_> hmms - we need housing overnight?

<Storyteller> Are you going to stay inside, or get a wet suit outside /

<Storyteller> It's better to stay close..if something happens it can be fixed fast..

<Victoria> Well, the zeppelin has a neat cabin, and we could stay inside, but it's lacking real comforts

<Victoria> Inside there is the pilot's control room that has some extra seat, and behind that is a kind of lounge

<Matthew_Deckard> (and we all have cabins... no?)

<Storyteller> **FLASH** **BOOM** Thunder very close and a grey curtain runs up to the ship..

Matthew_Deckard checks the maps to see where they are...

<Storyteller> About a day removed from Marseille..

<Matthew_Deckard> Lady Victoria... don't you have a stormward on this ship?

<Victoria> There are restrooms, but they are somewhat crampy, and there are only chemical toilets which are not really comfortable either

<Matthew_Deckard> (HEY ! i hoped ofa plush big ship with all the comforts! this isn't fair!)

<Victoria> Well, the outer hull is lined with a kibd of wiring that leads thunderbolts safely away from the interior

<Matthew_Deckard> Well we will manage... we should drop a groundind wire to avoid any ligtning blasts...

<Matthew_Deckard> and Helium ignitin?

<Storyteller> The wind is tugging at the ship and it's movements are unsettling..the ropes are being rippped at (from movement)

<Victoria> (Hey, the QV7 is the first of my zeppelins that worked *g* I think when I use this as template for tthe next one, the QV8 will have all the comforts)

<Storyteller> Stamina rolls please

<Victoria> (Helium doesn't ignitze. It's an inert gas)

<Victoria> !dice 2

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

<_Willow_> !dice 2

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

_Willow_ goes to restroom

<Storyteller> Matt ?

_Willow_ chants quietly

<_Willow_> !dice 4

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

<Matthew_Deckard> !dice 3

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

<Storyteller> Matt: You feel very sickened by the movement...

<Matthew_Deckard> ( ia hve resist Toxin btw... )

<Matthew_Deckard> (nope... Resist Toxin... i am immune to an imbalncing of my system )

<Storyteller> Yep, but this is a special case of "sea-sickness"

<Storyteller> Resist Toxin, sea-sickness is no toxin, this is caused by movement..

<Victoria> (This is an inner ear problem, no toxin)

<Matthew_Deckard> (If it is supernatural i am still immune... no...

<Storyteller> Okay.. it's still quite unsettling...

Matthew_Deckard feels a bit queazy...

<Matthew_Deckard> Hmmm cannot we anchor a bit better, lady Victoria?

<Storyteller> Willow, there are the usual spirits of Wind, Thunder and Rain that accompany any storm, but this one was not caused supernaturally.

<Victoria> Well, If we fix the ship to much, it might break under the stress

<Victoria> It is better when we ride the gusts of air

<Storyteller> After two hours in which the ship makes some abrubt movements that can cause quite a problem with balance and shifts everything that isn't bolted down.. the storm settles again...

<Storyteller> Only once did lightning strike the ship.

<_Willow_> I wonder if we could get the wind spirit to blow the ship out of the storm area?

<Victoria> (Well, the storeroom is outfitted with nets and ropes to fix the luggage. I know a bit about shifting winds ^_^)

<Storyteller> The sun comes to peek from the edges of the storm.

_Moira_ has joined #agww

_Willow_ returns to main cabin

Matthew_Deckard brightens up...

<Matthew_Deckard> it seems to be ending...

<Victoria> Yes, finally

Victoria doesn't like tuch heavy weather too much

<Victoria> Even though she is somewhat accustomed to it and rarely gets airsick, this doesn't mean she likes it

Matthew_Deckard has quit IRC (Quit: ... I Will save your soul even if you die in the process...)

<Storyteller> huh

<_Willow_> looks like matt got disconnected

<Storyteller> he quit

Matthew_Deckard has joined #agww

L sets mode: +o Matthew_Deckard

<Victoria> (Re Matt)

<Storyteller> (re)

<Matthew_Deckard> (Grr stupid X button)

<Storyteller> (hehehehe)

<Victoria> (LOL)

<Matthew_Deckard> (did i miss anything ?)

<Storyteller> Nope

<Storyteller> (fast forward again)

<_Willow_> (oh the storm ended)

<Storyteller> (yes)

Victoria pulls up the anchor angain

<_Willow_> (we're off to see the wizard .... ;))

<Storyteller> The flight continues and after a quick pitstop in Marseille (the last city here where you'll find any "modern" luxuries..) you'll continue to Itally Genoa, then south along the coast. A small stop over Rome. The Coliseum looks wonderfull from up here..

<Storyteller> Further down the coast, dotted villages in the hills of the mountains....and then across the ocean for Malta.

<Storyteller> (Sea, I know)

<Victoria> (*g*)

<Storyteller> Malta, with it's nice fortress, and city and beaches...all on top of a mountain. It's hell to land there, but Vicky manages.

<Storyteller> From Malta the last hop to Tunis..

Victoria wipes the sweat from her brow and smiles proudly

<Storyteller> And along the Tunesian coast with it's white sand beaches and dade trees, the desert on your right, small white cities below you towards Alexandria...

<Storyteller> After a trip of almost 3 weeks the city comes in view.

<Victoria> Heureka!

<Storyteller> Lawrence, after a dull three week trip, Alexandria comes into view...

<Victoria> I think we finally made it!

<Matthew_Deckard> Hmmm... you are not quie Archimedes Lady VIctoria...

Victoria smiles

<Victoria> Well,. I'm still happy that we finally arrives

<Victoria> d

_Willow_ smiles and is glad we'arrived. thanks Lady Vicky

<Victoria> Well, QV7 did the most work :-)

_Moira_ thanks Lady Vicky

Victoria smiles at Moira too, again pointing out that the zeppelin did the work

<Matthew_Deckard> I believe we should somehow secure the skysjhip, get boarding and find the local agent of the league...

<Victoria> Yes.

<Victoria> Fortunately I have a neat security system in here - just like my car.

_Willow_ observes that one hears news stories about pilot errors causing problems, and that Lady Vicky did a good job dealing with the rough weather

<Victoria> An electric field that secure the cabin and shocks everyone who tries to get in

<Storyteller> You can just park it at the gardens of teh Brittish Embassy..

<Victoria> (I guess that's where we landed then)

AlihaHadin has joined #agww

<_Willow_> do we need to deal with customs -- or is that handled thru tghe embassy?

<Storyteller> Ignore customs :)

<Matthew_Deckard> (this is the 19th century..)

<Victoria> Well, I think there is someone greeting us...

<Victoria> We should best ask him

<_Willow_> 'k

AlihaHadin waits till you have landed

_Willow_ looks and listens

Matthew_Deckard makes his suit a bit beter and cleans a bit up...

<Victoria> Well, I think we shall get down and introduce ourselves

Matthew_Deckard goes down as soon as they have landed and greets the man in Arabic...

_Moira_ nods

Victoria goes to the door, opens it and throws down the ropeladder

_Moira_ climbs down

_Willow_ climbs down

Victoria joind Sir Matthew and also greets the man in Arabic

AlihaHadin is of Arab descent, has neatly combed black hair, green eyes. He's wearing a nice white suit, with a blue shirt.

<AlihaHadin> Salaam Aleikum (forget the spelling)

<Victoria> Salam aleikum

<AlihaHadin> How was your trip (in English)

<Victoria> It was fairly uneventful, dear Sir

<Matthew_Deckard> It was quite fast and proper...

<Matthew_Deckard> are you Aliha Hadin?

AlihaHadin looks at Lady Victoria for a while..

Victoria smiles at him

<AlihaHadin> You are much prettier than the photograph in your file suggests..

AlihaHadin smiles

Matthew_Deckard winces...

<Victoria> Thank you dear sir.

<AlihaHadin> Yes, Sir Deckard, I am Ali'ha Hadin..

Victoria blushes slightly

_Willow_ introduces herself and Moira

<AlihaHadin> But you may call me Aladin

AlihaHadin is now known as Aladin

<Matthew_Deckard> I believe you are our contact in Egypt... undoubtably you know the passcode tht will verify you...

<Aladin> Nice to meet you Miss O'Day, Moira.. you two are also more pretty than the photographs in your files suggested.

<_Willow_> .Oo (( OH LIKE THE STORY ))

_Willow_ blushes

<_Willow_> thank you, sir

Aladin smiles

_Moira_ curtsyes

<Aladin> The passcode, you mean the passcode Mr. Mycroft Holmes did not provide.

Matthew_Deckard looks at Alaldin very intuiged... for Victoria ok... but the Leauge could not have photographed Willow since they knew nothign abouut her...

Victoria frowns slightly

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes...

Matthew_Deckard smiles...

<Matthew_Deckard> i beleivbe you are to provide us with room and board as well as local info... i haven't been to Egypt in years...

<Victoria> Well, they properly obtained photographs from the archives and wired them here

<Aladin> I've read all of your adventures.. I really liked the one about Zorbo and you on board of the shadow.

<Aladin> You are pretty amazing, if only half of the stories are true.

<Aladin> Well I've arranged for room at the Hotel Alexendria

Victoria smiles

<Victoria> Well, it was all just fullfilling ouir duty

<Aladin> And I have arranged for personel to assist in carrying your luggage..

<Matthew_Deckard> (Khmmm Victoria... wiring photogrpahs in the 19th century ?)

<Victoria> This is very kind of your

Victoria blushes somewhat

<Victoria> I think I might have packed a little much...

<Aladin> Mr. Holmes also mentioned that there was a fourth person on board..

<Matthew_Deckard> Mr. Alli... i think that we may be needing soem privacy as wel as enough space...

<Matthew_Deckard> actualy not on board as such...

<Aladin> I've booked the top floor of the Hotel.

<Victoria> Splendid!

<Matthew_Deckard> we are to expect a man coming from England in about two weeks

<Matthew_Deckard> he will be coming on a private steamboat...

Aladin seems to think for a while.

<Matthew_Deckard> His name is Lawrence (?)

<Aladin> Oh yes, I forgot, Mr. Holmes mentioned he was on board of the Dreams of the Past.

<Aladin> That ship is due to arrive any minute now. Perhaps you would like to meet your friend yourself.

<Matthew_Deckard> (it is day ?)

Aladin talks to some of the people here waiting..

<Victoria> So soon? Well, this spares us a longer wait

<Storyteller> Yes

<Matthew_Deckard> I believe he may have problemw with moving while there is still light...

<Aladin> These people will take care of your luggage..

<Matthew_Deckard> We should first dump our stuff and then head to meet our wayward compatriot...

Matthew_Deckard seems to git his teeth on the comment of compatriot...

<Aladin> They can be trusted..

<Aladin> If you'd follow me, then we can go to the harbor.

<Aladin> We'll just pick up Mr. McCarthy's coffin..

Aladin smirks

<Matthew_Deckard> Coffin...

<Victoria> Hm.

<Matthew_Deckard> how passe...

Victoria frowns a bit more visibly

<Matthew_Deckard> i heard they never did that...

<Aladin> Oh, I'm sure that a smart vampire will not travel in a coffin...way to conspicious.

<Matthew_Deckard> Well we could stake him and get rid of him in the harbour...

Aladin leads you to a carriage.

<Matthew_Deckard> ... i'd guess there is a large package waitign for us to pick up.. correct ?

<Victoria> I think we should work together with him?

<Victoria> Mr.Mycroft did insist, Sir Matthew

Aladin helps Lady Victoria in the carriage, as well as Miss O'Day and Moira.

<Matthew_Deckard> I am not sure... but he helped us... and Mycroft said that we should give him a chance...

_Willow_ takes along her dr's bag and staff

Victoria thanks Aladin

<Aladin> Your welcome Lady Victoria.

Victoria has a bag with her with a couple of her tools

Aladin takes a seat at the front of the carriage.

<Victoria> (and some vials with chemicals etc)

_Moira_ take a medium backpack with her

_Moira_ thanks Aladin

Aladin smiles

<Aladin> Sir Matthew, was that Zorbo really so insane as to use a flamethrower on board of a Zeppelin ?

<Matthew_Deckard> Yes... and strnagely it was his own Zeppelin...

<Aladin> How stupid...

<Matthew_Deckard> I jumped off... thankfully the fall broke only a few bones...

<Victoria> Well, some people act first and think later - if ever

<Matthew_Deckard> Though the fireworls were nice...

<Aladin> Oh yes, I can imagine..

<Matthew_Deckard> Dr. Zorbo was quite the intelligent one... he was .. quite mad though...

Aladin steers teh carriage through the full streets, while paying more attention to his passengers than the road... somehow he manages to get you to the harbor in record speed without any accidents.

Matthew_Deckard exits first and offers his hand to Lady Victoria...

Victoria smiles, takes the hand and gets out

Aladin jumps of the front and helps down Miss O'Day and Moira.

<Victoria> Albeit in her leather pilot outfit she doesn't look as ladylike as in her long dresses

Matthew_Deckard heads toward the ship Aladin described...

<Matthew_Deckard> Aladin... what are we to pick up?

<Aladin> There she is..

<_Moira_> thnasks you

<_Willow_> thank you, sir

Aladin points to a ship in coming in the harbor..

<Aladin> Your welcome Miss O'Day, Moira..

Aladin smiles

<Matthew_Deckard> Aladin... what are we to pick up?

<Storyteller> The Dreams of the Past comes into the harbor...on deck there's several people busy doing whatever needed to be done to anchor the ship.

<Aladin> I have no clue, Sir Matthew.

Matthew_Deckard straightens his wide brimmed wide hat...

<Matthew_Deckard> (white)

<Aladin> I only know I was supposed to pick up Mr. McCarthy when he arrived in Alexandria..

Victoria looks down at her leather combination and thinks she should have changed in a proper dress

<Storyteller> The Dreams of the past docks and lowers the gangway..

<Storyteller> Several people walk down the gangway and pick up their luggage.

Matthew_Deckard is watching carefulyl around them... there may be others interested in their arrival...

<Matthew_Deckard> Aladin when canwe expect the ship that mr John departed on from England?

<Matthew_Deckard> in a week or so?

<Lawrence> My my ... i didn't expect a welcoming committee

Lawrence looks a tad surprised as he walks down the gangway

<Aladin> In a week or so..yes..

<Storyteller> (For those that didn't hear me yet... it's around the middle of the day)

<Matthew_Deckard> (the sun is shining ?)

<Storyteller> Yes

<_Willow_> (thats odd)

Matthew_Deckard seems to smirk...

<Lawrence> Hello Mr Deckard, Ladies ....

<Matthew_Deckard> (does he feel the same ?)

<Storyteller> Yes

<Lawrence> I see You got my letter and have also found Your way to Alexandria ?

<Matthew_Deckard> I was expecting something of a sunscreen around you Mr Lawrence...

<Matthew_Deckard> Actualyl we got here through ourown devices...

<Matthew_Deckard> though your telegram was an unxpected surprise...

<Victoria> Well, we decided it might be beneficial if we work together

_Willow_ nods

<Lawrence> Oh ... i couldn't do without sunscreen ... they all come in different forms though :-)

Victoria thinks this is somewhat strange

<Matthew_Deckard> ...and mr Holmes has extended his personal greetings and thanks to you...

<Aladin> Mr. McCarthy.. I'm Ala'ha Hadin, but please feel free to call me Aladin. I'm your contact from your friends here in Cairo.

Victoria rummages in her bag and takes out one of her famous meters, wildly adjusting the buttons and scales...

<Lawrence> Ahh .. thank You ...

<Victoria> May I, Mr.Lawrence?

Victoria piiunts the device at him

<Aladin> I had arranged suitable accomondations...but it seems they've become superfluous.

Lawrence looks at Lady Victoria ... be my guest

<Victoria> (Forces, Mind, Prime scan)

<Victoria> !dice 4

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

<Victoria> THanks you

Victoria looks at the scales and needle dancing around

<Matthew_Deckard> Miss Moira... is he Alive?

<Storyteller> Well..he's still the same, but he's wearing an amulet that has of the scale readings of Prime energy.

Lawrence directs his attention to Aladin for a moment ... I assume i am to report my arrival to the Prince within the next 24 hours ?

<Victoria> Intriguing...

_Willow_ chants quietly

Matthew_Deckard coughs COUGHANGELCOUGH

<Victoria> (Reminds me of the Sun Talisman in one of my stories :-)

<Storyteller> (HEHEHE)

<_Willow_> !dice 5

<agww-dice> _Willow_ rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 1 6 8 10

<Matthew_Deckard> (i saw that.. i hoped it was thaumturgy ort somethign similar... i am a bit dissapointed :))

<_Willow_> (life/spirit/prime)

<Storyteller> He's still dead

<Victoria> (Matt in my campaign a Toreador stumbled of the sun talisman, a bracelet inlaid with turquoise stones that fused with her arm...)

<_Willow_> (aura looks pale and all the usual telltales?)

<Matthew_Deckard> So... mr Lawrence... you will walking with us in the sun... i thought you were cursed from ever feeling the rays of thsi woundrous thing...

<Victoria> (Matt: Her comment: Oh dear, now I can only waer clothes that mathe these turquoise stones!)

<Storyteller> Willow: Yes.

<Matthew_Deckard> what would happen if i wanted to take a closer look at that amulet you see mto be wearing?

Matthew_Deckard grins

Aladin seems to choke at Mr. McCarthy's last comment

<Matthew_Deckard> (LOL ! :))

<Lawrence> Well ... it's more of a necessity ... I definately won't be making this a "common occurance"

<Matthew_Deckard> Ahh... i thought as much... i heard you may have some problems adaptign here... your cousins here don't liek Europeans...

<Victoria> Well, this will at least facilitate our working together

<Matthew_Deckard> So Mr. Lawrence... will you be needing any special accomodations due to your state?

<Lawrence> I can only make the best of the situation ... my duty has brought be here ... and if that means some struggles with the local population ... than so be it

<Victoria> I wouldn't want to forgo my nightly beauty sleep too often

Matthew_Deckard sems to be takign an effort to be polite... Homses opinion may really mean much to him...

<Lawrence> I was under the impression Aladin had arranged for proper quarters ?

<Matthew_Deckard> he wasn't infomed on your condition i am afriad...

<Aladin> I arranged for proper quarters, but I was misinformed about your condition it seems.

<Victoria> Well, Mr.Lawrence, I assume we will work under a sort of truce?

<Victoria> I wouldn't want to have to guard my neck all the time you are near, you know

<Matthew_Deckard> Th etruce being, Lawrence here vaoiding to hurt anyoen that did nothign wrong...

<Victoria> (Me will do that anyway, of course ^_^)

<Aladin> How did you lay your hands on the Amulet of Osiris...

<Lawrence> Though the hostility was in my opinion mostly one-sided .... i assume a truce would probably be a suitable designation for our cooperation

<Matthew_Deckard> (there isa bizzare pleasure in being able to rip people's hands in the joints... )

<_Willow_> (/me wonders if maybe this dicussion could be held in less public place than a sreet by the docks?)

<Aladin> But it's not too wise to talk about these things in public..

<Aladin> The hotel is just a short walk from here, perhaps it's nicer if we just take a walk..

_Willow_ agrees

<Victoria> I wouldn't mind

Aladin offers his arm to Lady Victoria.

<Aladin> If you please follow me then, Ladies, Sirs.

Matthew_Deckard "accidentaly" pokes Aladin with his walking cane in the feet

Matthew_Deckard offers his elbow to lady victoria

<Lawrence> I was borrowed the Amulet

<Aladin> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Aladin rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 1 4 7

<Matthew_Deckard> (i had this one in the buffer since we started)

<Matthew_Deckard> Borrowed, or "Borrowed"?

Victoria takes Sir Matt's arm

_Willow_ walks with Aladin

Aladin smirks

<Lawrence> I can feel Your sarcasm Mr Deckard ... but please there is no need for it

<Aladin> He's so jealous

Matthew_Deckard smiles to Lady Victoria and holds her in the elbow lock...

<_Moira_> so it seems

Victoria blushes slightly

Aladin guides you to the hotel.

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay for a comment like this can i get some rage back? :))

<Aladin> (sure)

<Matthew_Deckard> (okay i have full rage)

<_Willow_> (/me *giggles*)

Matthew_Deckard seems to twitch a bit but he acts as if he has not heard Aladin's comment...

<_Willow_> ok -- whatare the arrangements?

Aladin brings you to the Hotel Alexandria, it's a nice and very luxurious hotel. It even has an elevator.

Victoria nods in approval

Aladin brings you to the top floor (10)

<Lawrence> That is one of the reasons i will try not to get myself used to "daylight activity" ... the amulet is to be returned to its rightful owner upon my return to London

<Aladin> This floor is all yours for the moment. I've arranged it to have 5 bedrooms, a living room, a conference room and a study.

<Matthew_Deckard> Fascinating... i wouldn't have expected that from oen like you...

<Victoria> I'm sure this has to be quite an adventure for you, Mr.Lawrence

<Victoria> How long have you not seen the sun?

<Aladin> It seems there is a bit of stress around here....

<Victoria> (What kind od stress?)

<Aladin> Perhaps I could interest Sir Deckard in a small adventure in town .. and I know just the place for Mr. McCarthy..

<Lawrence> I haven't exactly been keeping track on that account ... let's just say ... it's been a while

<Aladin> and of course I don't forget about the ladies.. I can arrange for a tour of the city.

<Matthew_Deckard> Well i am currently interested in seeign my luggage...

<Matthew_Deckard> i have some... commitments i need to keep

<Victoria> Well, I need to check on my trunks, too

<Aladin> It's in your room.. It's the one nearest to the elevator.

<Victoria> And I have to freshen up and change to some more becoming clothes

<Aladin> Yours in the one at the end of this hall

<Victoria> Ah. Thank you

<_Willow_> and ours?

Matthew_Deckard takes of his hat and dusts it off...

<Aladin> It's the before last one.

<Aladin> But I think I have to give that one up to Mr. McCarthy.

_Moira_ and Willow go to our room

<Aladin> Rooms

<Aladin> You both have your own room.

<Matthew_Deckard> Which one is mine?

<Aladin> Mr. Holmes was so kind as to provide me with enough intelligence on how many people I was to be expecting.

<Aladin> This one.

Aladin points to the door right next to the elevator

<Matthew_Deckard> and ... Mr. Lawrences?

<Aladin> Well.. I had arranged for "special" accomodations for him.

<Matthew_Deckard> i am still interested in where it is... and how many exits and entries are to this floor...

<Matthew_Deckard> if yo uare as well read as you claim yo ushould knwo i don't like places withotu exits...

_Willow_ lokks at the layout of the room and of the room for Moira

Victoria waits for the info on the exits and stuff before leaving

<Aladin> It's right next to the elevator. The stairs are down that way, me points to the other side. And the fire-escape is right at near Lady Victoria's room.

<Aladin> But don't worry.. security at this hotel is quite well..

Victoria smiles

<Victoria> It is always better to be informed

<Aladin> The Queen has even visited Lady Victorias suite while she was here.

<Matthew_Deckard> Quite...

Matthew_Deckard opens the doos of his room and looks inside...

_Willow_ lokks at the layout of the room and of the room for Moira

<Aladin> It's a large suite, with a nice cozy bed there and it has it's own bathroom..

Matthew_Deckard smiles happily...

<Aladin> Same for the rest of you.. only Lady Victoria's suite is much bigger...

Matthew_Deckard checks for his trunk...

Victoria goes to her room ans takes out her meter again.

Matthew_Deckard takes of his hat and bows to the Ladies

<Victoria> (Matter scan for the walls if there are hidden doors or stuff)

<Matthew_Deckard> ...ladies...

<Victoria> !dice 4

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

<Storyteller> Nope

Matthew_Deckard enters his room...

<Lawrence> (am i correct to assume i apparently have a room here as well on this same floor ?)

Matthew_Deckard closes the doors...

<Matthew_Deckard> (sugestion... lets take turns for each of us to say what they are doign in their rooms...)

<Victoria> (ok)

<_Willow_> (ok)

<Storyteller> Lady Victoria ?

<Storyteller> You can start, since you are at the last room..

<Victoria> Well, I scan the walls, floor and ceiling, then I check my trunks if anyone looked into them.

<Storyteller> (Lawrence... you can have Aladins room, if you want one, but he did arrange for "special" accomodations for you.)

<Aladin> Nope

<Storyteller> Nope

<Victoria> If nothing happened with them, I will get out of my pilot's combination, bathe and then change into a nice, deep blue victorian dres

Storyteller stands at the door..

<Victoria> s

Storyteller goes when you do that :)

<Storyteller> aargh :)

<Victoria> (hehe)

<Lawrence> (Hmmm .. if he wasn't aware of my condition ... how "special" ... or did he mean .. he was aware of the fact that i am a Kindred ... but not that i had the Amulet ?)

<Storyteller> (that was Aladin. he's making sure everybody is content with their rooms)

<_Willow_> (/me gets her Drs bag and prepares to treat a case of worng window syndrom)

<Storyteller> (He was aware of your Kindred condition.. he even said he was working for the local kindred.)

<Victoria> (Well, before getting her bath, Vicky thans Aladin (in Arabic) and tells him it looks all perfect and that he is a wonderful host etc)

<Lawrence> (In that case ... i'll use the special accomodation he has arranged)

Aladin enters the Elevator with you...and gives you a key. It fits in a lock on the "shift" for the elevator...

<Aladin> It takes you down, below the basement.

<Aladin> Here there's the "special" section of the hotel. Security is quite high here, but privacy is too.

Aladin smirks

<Lawrence> I understand

<Aladin> Special Accomodations for our special guests.

<Lawrence> Your efforts are appreciated

<Aladin> I will inform the prince that you have arrived.

<Lawrence> Thank You

<Storyteller> Your rooom is just as luxurious as any normal room. The only difference is that this room has no windows, nor has it any other way of getting sunlight in.

<Lawrence> Perfect :)

<Storyteller> There are no other guests here at the moment (it also has just one room free)

<Storyteller> (How much XP did I give for the first 2 sessions

<Lawrence> (None that i was aware of)

Storyteller will check

<Victoria> 5+5 for all

<Storyteller> Yep

<Lawrence> i guess i missed that part

<_Willow_> oh neat

Victoria had to check her XP file, too ^_^

<Storyteller> Willow (what do you do in your room ?

<Storyteller> (Oh, can I continue for just a short while. I want to stop after you have made your plans.)

<Victoria> (William only has 5 - he missed Seassion 2 (and 3)

<Victoria> (Well, I think I just want to get comfortable and relax a little before starting our jonb)

<_Willow_> 1st what is the layout of the room (dresser/bed (twin/full/queen/king) like that

<Storyteller> 1 person bed, nightstand, dresser, some small sort of living room part, workspace, bathroom.

<Storyteller> Aladin kept everything very decent...but luxurious..

<Victoria> (Hopefully enough space for my trunks in my suite?)

<Storyteller> Yes.. You suit has "three rooms"

<Victoria> (Fine :-)

<_Willow_> *sigh*

<Aladin> anything amiss, Miss O'Day ?

<_Willow_> (i need to clear space to do a circle, and we'd prefer to be together)

<_Willow_> hmm I guess I can drag the other tiwn into the one room, and use that spoace

<_Willow_> for the circle

<Aladin> Is there anything not to your satisfaction Miss O'Day ?

Aladin smiles

<_Willow_> is that a problem?

<Aladin> You want to have only one room, but I mentioned I've prepared 2 working rooms here for you.

<Aladin> Just follow me.

_Willow_ follows

_Moira_ foloows

<_Moira_> err followa

Aladin leads you to one of the working rooms. It's a nice roomy area, with a nice clear floor..and a large window (with heavy drapes along side it)

Aladin smiles

<Aladin> I think this will suffice just well enough for you to practice any magic you may be needing.

Aladin smiles

<Storyteller> And for miss Victoria (the other room is equiped with almost any tool you could wish for out of your own room)

Victoria is very content and thanks Aladin properly in Arabic

<Aladin> And if you need anything. My suite is right next to yours.

<Victoria> That's nice to know, thank you, Dear sir

Aladin smiles

<Matthew_Deckard> (cool Aladin has discovered the secretes of COlocation... he can be quite interesting in bed.. remeber that tlak between in Dante and hid GF in Horizon ;))

Aladin knocks at Sir Matthews room.

<Victoria> (Well, I assume the dialogues took place at the proper time & locations :-)

<Aladin> (yes, you can do that..)

<Victoria> (And who knows - he might me a Batini Master of Correpondence :-)

Matthew_Deckard opens the door he has taken off his jacket and he is standing with his guns still in the holsters...

<Matthew_Deckard> Aladin...

<Aladin> Is everything satisfactory Sir Matthew.

Aladin smiles

<Matthew_Deckard> how is your information in the groups in this area?

<Aladin> I'm quite aware of most things going on around here.
