Insight's "The Silent Partner" IC

[Insight]

Trying to be inconspicuous, and succeeding largely because she really is rather mousy and easy not to notice, Renne peers at the two from under the hem of her knit hat and listens closely.

Renna hears noise of some sort of party happening nearby. It is more raucous than what Renna would expect from a fairly upscale place like the Wilshire Club.

The sound is NOT coming from the direction of the front door to the Wilshire Club nor any of the windows leading into the club. All of the other buildings nearby appear to be closed for the night.

Allan Coleman

Returning to his small apartment, Allan makes himself a cup'o'tea with some biscuits, takes a book from the shelf and with a winner smile on his face begin to read. An hour later, the young man eyelids close and he falls to a peaceful slumber.

Face

"Don't worry, we are just two men looking for some easing.
Trust my honest face." Face adds with a dry chuckle.

OOC: Waiting for a description of the inside of the club.

With a nod to the doorman, Jack allows Face to walk in before stepping in himself. He takes a quick look around, looking for George.

Distracted by the incongruous noise, Renna looks around for the source but sees no likely suspects. Could it be there was another club nearby? One she hadn't heard of? She could check it first, just to see if anyone from the shoot was there, then come back here a little later since she KNEW there were actors here.

Thus resolved, she set out at a slow walk, trying to follow the sound of music and partying to its source.

Renna takes a slow pace around the base of the Wilshire Club building. The building is free-standing, so the noise she detected would almost have to be coming from somewhere inside. But where?

OOC: Have Renna make a Spot Hidden check as she walks around.

"Face" Pierson and Jack Thompson enter the Wilshire Club. After passing through the coat check (and each receives a paper token with numbers "42" and "43", respectively), they enter the main area of the club.

The Wilshire Club is a typical 1920s nightclub: The "right side" (as you enter) is dominated by a large, lighted stage. Currently, a jazz trio plays a catchy tune there. To the "left side" are three "tiers" of seating. Each tier features 12, 14, and 16 tables (as the tiers rise in elevation). In the middle of each tier is the entrance to the kitchen. There is an old bar to the far side of the room (no one is there; prohibition, doncha know).

The large room is lit only by a large chandelier to the center-right side of the ceiling, the stage lights, and small lamps at each table.

Neither Jack nor "Face" see George Martin at first glance.

Pierson looks around for a waitress/waiter to ask her/him for George Martin. With any luck, he is a frequent guest.

 

[Insight]

"Face" Pierson is able to flag down a waiter. He gives the waiter George Martin's description: Caucasian, mid 30s, balding, stocky, a slight 5-o'clock shadow, a knife scar on the right side of his neck.

"Sorry," the waiter says. "Doesn't ring a bell. And I'd remember someone with a knife scar. Sounds like a scary fella." With that, the waiter goes on about his business.

Pierson and Thompson, now well inside the club, do not see George anywhere.

OOC: Each of your characters should make a Spot Hidden check.

Puzzled, Renna pauses at windows, and looks for grates or basement windows where the noise might be louder, giving a clue as to where this party is.
