CB's Grim Frequencies IC -- COMPLETE

[CanadienneBacon]

Both Feral and Otter spot a narrow alley at the northwestern corner of the store's plot of land. The alley is about 150 feet due north of Feral's current location. A dull blue dumpster is parked at a bad angle, partially blocking the alley entrance; it looks as if the Republic trash truck came by recently to collect refuse but haphazardly plunked down the dumpster once it was done loading. Your white van might just squeeze through, with some careful maneuvering. Where the alley comes out is anyone's guess. It appears to run between residential blocks.

Cyril spied a Posh Petals florist's shop to the north of the toy store's parking lot (to the left). Ushering his companions toward the narrow awning sheltering the front entrance of the flower shop, Cyril glanced around the area, looking for trouble or rescue. Other than the growing cluster of vehicles blocking egress from the parking lot onto Meridian Street, Cyril saw or heard nothing out of the ordinary.



T-dawg stuck with Cyril and JR, silently following behind. His looming presence wasn't particularly subtle, but he kept his eyes pinned on the front door of the toy store, ready to react in case Buzz Cut followed. Several minutes passed, however, with no sign at all of Buzz Cut.

I STILL NEED WISDOM (PERCEPTION) ROLLS FROM FERAL, OTTER, T-DAWG, AND J.R..

OOC: I don't have any ranks in Investigation so, Perception it is. Perception check (1d20-1=14)

Feral moved from his hiding place to make himself visible to Marks and Otter, without getting run over. He plans to hop in the van as soon as it reaches him, putting the toy underneath the front passenger seat in case something strange happens.

OOC: Is this the Perception check you needed or did I miss you asking for another one at some point?

(OOC - Er, you gave me the option for a Perception check or Investigation, and I chose the latter and rolled it a ways back? Or am I horribly confused? )

It's winter, and well past 9 pm, which means it's dark outside.

OOC: (OOC - Er, you gave me the option for a Perception check or Investigation, and I chose the latter and rolled it a ways back? Or am I horribly confused? ) I need two rolls from Otter and Feral: one Wisdom (Perception) roll and either a Wisdom (Perception) or an Intelligence (Investigation) roll.

(OOC - Ah, my bad. I failed my Perception check IRL! [roll0] Perception)

From inside the van, Otter thinks she hears the (very) faint sound of sirens. If the emergency vehicle--whatever it is--is as far away as she thinks, it'll be coming north up Meridian Street and may reach the section of the road with the toy store in roughly three minutes. Feral, however, is too strung out on adrenaline, and hears nothing out of the ordinary.

J.R. follows along, keeping pressure on his wound. He also keeps his head on a swivel looking for the van or for Buzz Cut.

Cyril cursed under his breath. "Well this is just great. Where the f#$% did Marks and Otter go with the van?" Several unkind thoughts flitted through his head about how Marks was living up to expectations of a government official: short-sighted and cheap. Clearing his head, he continued, "Let's go around back and see if we can find something to disguise that wound for now. No way we're getting in a cab or into a business if you're leaking blood all over the place. Here's what I'm thinking... I've still got $60 in my pocket. Once we get J.R. patched up a bit, we walk a little ways away from here and either call a cab to bring us back to Jump Street or we go grab some beers and make Marks come find us using our fashionable anklets." Glancing at T-Dawg, Cyril amends, "Or water works too."
