Jason stands with his beer. "Sure, I'm game, lets go."

OOC: Yes, paranoia is EXTREMELY contagious.... especially in horror settings. ;)
 

Doc wakes with a start.

Huh? Where is everyone?

Doc wanders back up towards the rooms, unless he sees someone in the halls before he gets there.
 

"hey, Doc, you coming? We're gonna go head back to the rooms, see what Jimbo's up to. It's boring around here." Jason stops long enough for doc to catch up, then heads up after the others.
 

Evening of Arrival--Day 0

[OOC: Everyone arrives at the room after James is finished doing there what he wanted to do. He had his time. ]

The latex slides gentle over the cold metal of the briefcase as James exmines it closely. His hand strokes the metal around all edges to feel if anything is attached anywhere that shouldn't be there...

His hands slide gently over all sides of the suitcase and over all the edges. He finds nothing suspicious and proceeds to get out a pair of paperclips and a slim metal pin from the inside of his coat. He pries into the lock and wringles it a bit but after a couple of minutes he sees his attempts are futile. This lock is above his skill in lock picking, a professional is needed for this one...

He get's up again. Holds his breath for a moment and decides to put the briefcase away... Walking over to the couch he catches a glimpse of a strange odor which upon closer examination seems to originate from the briefcase itself. The odor faints away after a minute orso and he continues to stash it behind the couch where he deems it safe for prying eyes.

He ponders again for a moment overthinking his actions, walks over to the table and opens the suitcase after detatching the airline tag for a closer look.

"Damien Carson"

The tag reads.
After unzipping the suitcase and flapping it open, James takes a carefull look at its contents. He finds nothing but two sets of trousers, a sweater, some underwair and socks but at the bottom he finds some things of interest.

[Search check, untrained taking 20 +3 ability mod]

At the bottom of the suitcase he senses there is more beneath the bottom and a closer look at the suitcase does indeed tell him that the suitcase is deeper then it is at the moment. He senses along the edge of the bottom and finds a carefully hidden zip. He unzips it and peeks inside.
Inside he finds a buiseness suit and a miners outfit. Both with a name tag on them. Both tags read "Julian van den Heuvel". For the rest he finds two credit cards and a wallet with 1200$ cash in it and seeral ID cards with different names on them but all with the same picture.

Curious but carefull he puts it all back the best he could and hides it behind the couch as well. he gets rid of the gloves and cleans up his clothes. James takes a walk around the room to check if the smell is still there but it's gone. He takes a good look around to check if he left anything or not and then walks outside and decides to close the door of the room with the horrible scne in it. He turns around after closing the door and walks a few feet down the hall to close the door to his own room but as he is doing so the rest of his friends come walking around the corner.

Ross enters the room with the others trailing "Hey 'dude' hows it going? You fall asleep yet?" Ross asks James. Ross heads over to check to see if his Cell Phone has a signal yet or if he can acess the web on his palm yet. He also picks up the room phone and see's if he can get a dial tone yet.

If he can not make a call or acess the web he makes plans to go to sleep IF no one else has any ideas about this town, or wants to do something.

If he goes to sleep than he makes sure that he has all his items that he brought with and sets them next to him before he dozes off and waits to see the Sherrif in the morn to tell him about his Deputy.
 

Evening of arrival -- Day 0

Ross walks over to his cell phone and his palmtop only to find no waithing messages and a unstable and unrealiable internet connection.

When he tries the room phone he gets a dial tone but finds himself unable to reach anywhere he wants to call that he knows.

"Nope, not asleep yet, but I did find a couple of things of interest," he says, "Seeing as you guys wanted to turn a ski trip into an exposé of lazy hick town cops I thought I'd get a bit more involved myself."

James explains the process of the suitcases' discovery as he pulls the suitcases out from behind the couch and puts them onto a nearby bed.

"I figure we investigate what he was hurriedly hiding and get our own conclusion," he says with a smile, "Sorry bugger got tossed out a window into the chasm, looked like a rough and tumble hit of sorts. Once we're done with his belongings we just plant them back in there where they were. By the way, there's five of us so that means .... who wants $240 each?"
 

Jimmy Boy, Your talking my language. So what happened? Did you open the briefcase of luggage? Ray enters the room and shuts the door once everyone is in. Ray will check to see if anyone is watching from the hall before he shuts the door.
