[COC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness

[Fanog]

Heh? What's up with him? I though he was leaving. Oh wait, he's pointing at those fellows.

"Hey there", Antonie calls back. "I'll be right there. Just give me a moment." Antonie gives Rayburn as severe look and a nod, to awknowledge the heads-up he was given.

Antonie sets down his drink on a table and quickly makes for the side of the stage, pushing through the crowd that's formed there.

Let's see if I can get to Ms. Roxie before these fellows do. This is not really the time for interviews, I'd say. Let's hear if she feels like answering some of their inevitable questions.

If Antonie makes it there before the guy does, he'll try to draw Roxie's attention and exchange some words with her, preferably in a manner that can't be overheard by others present.
"It seems like two reporters of some sort, just over there. Are you up for it, or should I brush 'em off, tell them to come back some other time?"

Father Steele replies to Mr. Lawton: "yes I do have some experience in geology and geophysics. I have done some extensive studies in plate tectonics and strata. I would be more than happy to accompany you on your visit to see professor Pabodie. In fact, I would like to speak to as many of the previous party members as allowable. We only have a few weeks, but I intend to get a more concise picture of what I have gotten myself into."

Father Steele pauses and then eagerly replies "lets get started"

Rayburn sees Antonie heading for the two men and eases his grip on his blade. He still rushes to get to them before they get to the stage, for some reason he has a weird feeling about them.

"Mrs. Rockefeller! Mrs. Rockefeller!" cries the man with the thin mustache. He waves to try and get her attention as he nears the stage. A group of fans and hangers on crowd around Roxie as she looks to see who is calling. The man seeing that he has her attention says. "Is it true that you are going with Starkweather-Moore Antarctic Expedition this fall?" Rayburn reaches the man just as he calls out to Roxie.

The Tuck Building
Department of Engineering
Miskatonic Univeristy

Mr. Lawton and Father Steele make their way over to the Department of Engineering. Professor Pabodie agrees to a short interview. Professor Frank Pabodie is a short stocky man with a broad square face and a bristling white mustache. He looks much older than he did only a few years ago. He looks up as you enter. "Please gentlemen take a set. You wish to talk to me about something?" Pabodie sits back and lights a pipe as you set yourselves. Looking around the room you see one wall covered in bookcases filled with books. Pictures of oil rigs and other drilling devices are scattered along the other walls.

Rayburn stands nearby, waiting for Antonie to make his move. He will keep his eye on the guy with the camera.

Father Steele responds:

"I truly thank you for taking out the time to speak with my comrade and I. I am Father Steele and this is Mr. Lawton, and we are members of the Starkweather-Moore Antarctic Expedition. "

Father still pauses to take in the Doctors response and then continues:

" If you have not heard, we plan to repeat the transit of the original expedition which you were apart of. I have only briefly looked over some of your partys' earlier findings, and it appears as if there were no little happen stance of queer findings associated with Lake and his discovery. We are interested in any information you are willing to share whether it be scientific, fact, or speculation concerning the first expedition."

Damnit, too late... Mother, why now? I was just having a good evening. Ah well, no night off for me, I guess... Bah.

Antonie slips into his 'work' frame of mind and picks himself up a bit straighter, augmenting his already impressive build. "Sorry miss, sir...", he mutters repeatedly as he pushes through the crowd, counting on his posture to do most of the work for him.

As he nears the center of the crowd, his eyes search Roxie's, a simple nod confirming his presence. He quitly takes up a flanking position a pace behind her and takes a relaxed stance, waiting for Roxie to direct the show.

A beautific smile touched that exquistely made up face. "Why darling! That is absolutely true!" The singer sat down on the edge of the piano, crossing her long silky legs. Nothing pleased Roxie more than to be holding court with her admirers.

"I'm going on a marvelous adventure! Absolutely marvelous...why it will be more fun than buying a whole fleet of dresses!" She laughed girlishly and winked one heavly fringed eyelash while she rested one elbow on Tony beside her.

Richard nods at Father Steele's comments as he sits down. "That's quite right, professor, I thought it might be interesting to get some perspective from some of the Miskatonic Expedition members. I'd like to make it part of the article I'll be doing for our send-off, do you mind if I take notes?"

He pulls out a pencil and small tablet from the inside of his suit coat.
