IC - CoC - D20 - Fog over Buenos Aires

I’m very interested to know if the rumor is true, can someone really see the past, present and future through dreams like you do?

The Doctor back goes stiff and his eyes jump 'Not polite boy, not polite to not answer the questions of a old man' his eyes grow bigger and his voice lowers to a whisper 'what concern the dreams you ask?' 'powers bigger the you and me are in swing' 'beware of your dreams' 'they might realize' he sits back taking a look in Felix direction 'having a friend with you? anything i should be worried about?' he signals to Felix to come to the table.
When Felix arrives the waitress a step behind with the food and drinks the Doctor takes out a piece of paper and a pencil. 'Im experienced enough to see that you are not from town, a bookrat from spain and a adventurer from the countryside' 'smelling horse as well...' 'both of the curious type and determined enough to find me' he eyes them both 'who send you?, how did you know of me?' 'your not the only ones that is suddenly interested in my work' 'and some of them i do not like' 'will you fall into that category to?' 'so boys! out with it!'

No, no, we are not thugs nor bandits and we wish you no harm dear doctor. We are here because we seek answers.
The Professor grins
This dear man, I came to know an hour prior to you. We went to the theatre, hoping to receive some tickets for your lecture, but we found none. Now don't be mistake my dear doctor, we are not chasing you or troubling you for tickets, which we already have. The nice ticket seller told us about this place, saying that we might find you here
The Professor takes a sip from his wine to clear his throat.
Me and Felix have met by fate, and I have the feeling that we met you by fate also. Now fate is not something that I believe, I'm a man of Science. Now I don't want to sound freakish – but we had the same dream!
We both had nightmares of sea creatures that threatened our souls and minds. A voice was carried on the wind and over the sea waves of the sea, whispering about the old one that walks the spaces between thoughts.

The Professor looks unsettled when he needs to remember that dream, so he takes another sip to refresh himself
When I woke up I came to remember a paper story about a doctor claiming to see through dreams the past, present and future of mankind, that doctor is you!
 


'Tinto y Blanco' the revelations.

"It sounds fantastic, but I swear to you we dreamt of you, doctor."

Dr. Trujillo turn to Felix 'you to gaucho?' he lifts a eyebrow 'most uncommon' he says sitting back in thought 'most strange too'. He calls the waitress 'cuenta porfavor' 'i will pay the check of this dinner dont you worry' 'i got a certain journalist to talk to' 'i told that fool to not mention me in the paper!'. He drops some coins at the table 'if yo want' ' and i recommend you two to be willing, must come with me' 'you might be in trouble and i need to talk to a journalist friend of mine' he grabs his coat and starts to the exit 'i will explain when we get there'

All tree goes out of the bar leaving the singing mans song about despair and broken hearts. He walks one block to the south and lifts his arms on a cab




You arrive at the newspaper La Nación some few minutes later. The doctor hurries up the stairs and talk to the guard posted at the entrance. He turns and crosses the street to a bar called 'Tinto y Blanco' specializing in wines and known for one of the biggest collection of wines in the city.

'We will wait here' 'he will sure come in a while'
Dr. Trujillo seems agitaded and talk almost in a whisper 'keep the talking low' 'i dont want anyone to hear what we discuss' 'most discretion please'. He takes one of the corner tables ordering some Chilean merlot wine 'the entire bottle please, God know i need it'.
When he finally get his order and the waitress has gone he turn to Felix and Juan 'You are not alone having this dreams' he suddenly breaks the silence pointing a bony finger at them 'you are experiencing a guided dream of some sort' 'Ive had this kind of dream since early age' 'some have almost driven me to madness, but i have overcome the final fear, the void and the despair of a world in darkness' he looks seriously at them both 'i had no intention of dragging anyone into this, but you have experienced the traveling in dreams and are no longer safe' 'there are evil people mix up in this dreaming, three more persons have experienced a similar dream as you have and they are all dead' 'they all also dreamed about me in some fashion or madder and managed to locate me and all died before they could talk to me' 'there are people that have tried to kill me too' 'and im afraid i know why and with what intention they did so'.
He look at them both 'i am the only person with the knowledge to stop their plot'. He drink his first glass in one go poring more into it scanning the entrance door at the same time. 'This is no joke kids, as i see it, you got two options, you help me trying to save us all and do something that might get us killed or worse... or you can flee this city as fast you can and pray to God for your safety' 'A sect is trying to set demons loose on the earth again' he drinks his second glass in one steady go and fills it up again.

Felix and Juan sits big eyed and with open mouths as the Dr. rambles about demos and the potential destruction the city would suffer if not the world itself, he talks about many Catholic rites and prayers, and elements in use of dark magic. You both sees elements of child story telling in his continuing rambling about similarities of myth and demon behavior. He looks utterly frustrated as some of the things he says you dont understand, as the importance of the dead languages and books you never heard of.
 

I think you drank too much doctor, what you are saying could not happen in reality, I think you mix dreams with reality. Demons and dreams travel I find it hard to believe but murders and evil people ... well, that happens everywhere.
The Prof. is puzzled but tries to focus himself.
I'm going to believe the fact that we are in great peril. Who are those evil people that are chasing you, who were the other people who dreamt the same dream and murdered?
The Professor thinks for a moment.
I understand that you already took a progress of investigation. You found out that they were seeking you but died ... hmm... killed before they spoke to you.

'Foolish boy' 'the world hold old dark secrets' the Dr. says in whisper tinted by terror 'the cult's name is unknown to me' 'but i know for a fact that they are out there' 'there are certain clues they have left behind them at the murder scenes' 'clues that the police just oversees systematically, but who could blame them? they know nothing of the dark magic and evil beyond comprehension?' 'no kid dont be wrong in thinking this threat is not real' 'as the other been murdered, well... a professor in law, a ousekeep and a sweet looking girl that was attending last year of highschool' random people it seems...'

"How have we been able to meet you where others have failed? Does the cult think you are powerless now?"

'The other murders hapend almost half a year ago' 'and my friend the journalist might have new information about the topic' 'i dont know why you made it so far' 'but it might be a blessing' 'God is with us today' 'and specially with you two' 'you are no longer sitting ducks, now aware of the danger' 'i believe, and this is just speculation' 'maybe the cult is busy with something that they cannot leave alone to kill' 'specualtion that is'
 

OK
The Professor processes the data heavily, he then replies.
I’m willing to believe you doctor, since the dream thing and our meeting is quite odd, I don’t know why but I have a good hunch about it. Now, I booked a room in the “La Seniora” hotel. I suggest we’ll bring your notes and books and discuss our next steps over there, but first we'll wait for the juornalist.
He takes a sip from his wine
Once we discuss a direction of investigation, we can go and check the scenes where the people murdered. Maybe we can find some clues of to how they died, who killed them and how we can avoid death.
 

The Journalist 'Alvaro Uribe' 16:00 hrs

'We need to cut you of any trail my friend ' 'we should get to a random hotel' 'we should take a quick stop there to get your stuff' 'Feliz where are you staying?'

At the entrance a man enters wearing a briefcase spots Dr.Trujillo and walks to the table. 'Doctor mi amigo' 'we in trouble' he glances and Juan and Felix
'are we ok?'. Trujillo nods at him 'what makes you so upset Alvaro, more coincidences?' 'i got you story from this two.. Juan and Felix... that will surprise you' The doctor tells the tail accentuating on that they might be in danger and the necessity of a hideout.

Alvaro Uribe glances at them... amazed of the implications of the case he has been building 'we sure do need a better place'.

Alvaro then raises from his seat 'follow me' takes the group to a cab telling the driver to take them to the railroad station as fast as he could. Once there he walks into a fruit shop and uses the backyard stair up to the second floor. Once inside the apartment he get his notebook and disappears into his room. You think you hear a loading of a gun and at the same time 'sit down sit down' 'Dr.Trujillo, please set on the water so we can make some mate' he walks into the room again tucking his revolver into his jacket.

Dr.Trujillo get the mate herb and fills the cups and hands out the sugar 'tell me Alvaro' 'whats the big news?' Alvaro goes stiff backed and sits down 'trouble' 'big trouble' 'someone was in my apartment last night' 'and stole the pages you gave me' 'they are gone' 'i was supposed to be at home, but my car broke and i had to sleep here at the hideout instead, the car is 2 blocks away'.
We are running out of time dont you see?
'Yes yes' 'Saturday the 14th is approaching i know' 'that must be it, only if i could be sure!' Dr.Trujillo leans forward to grab some matches and lit his pipe 'Roodmas a cursed day in mankind history' 'seems so Dr'' 'anyways i think it gives us the proof of us being jumpy''seems they have discovered me at least' 'my involvement and such' 'i just regreet trying to make them talk four years ago' 'indeed, Sociedad por Ocultismo seems to be very active as we suspected' 'they will need some sort of sacrifice...' 'and the human is the best kind' 'damn us' 'we are really in danger'
