[CoC] Nocturnum -- Part I - Chapter 1 Snowflake Valey [Completed]

[The Forsaken One]

Evening of Arrival--Day 0

After about a minute or 10 several loud voices sound through the hallway. When you peek outside your rooms you spot two men in lawenforcement uniforms walking towards your end of the hallway. As they draw closer you recognise Dumont and conclude that the other guy, a huge black male should be the Sherrif. They walk into the still open room and stay in there for about 5 minutes before reappearing back onto the hallway. There is a exchange of words between the Sheriff and the Hotel Manager who points towards you while you gaze onto the hallway from inside your open doorway itself. He coughs for a second and after a few words from Dumont whispered into his ear the manager points towards you and the Sheriff walks the few remaining feet into room 211.

Well good night to you all. I'm not in the mood of any sweet talk so you guys just tell me what you were up to in that room next door. The manager was so kind to inform me that you took care of a kind old lady who maanged to stumble upon this horrible scene. But lets get to what you know of this man from room 212 and what some of you did there and especially how you got to "discover" that scene... If you wouldn't mind sharing some of your time for that purpose...

Jason sits in a chair drinking his beer
"I haven't been there, so you gonna have ta talk to the resta them guys. OH WAIT!! I did see something a little while ago! When we was downstairs, I saw two guys in blue running outta the building, and then they got in a car and shot off like they was runnin from somethin. Didn't give it much thought at the time, but then we came upstairs a few minutes later and found out about, well, the guy next door. They probly popped him and ran off."

The Sheriffs hangs for a bit in the doorway, blocking it with his massive muscled body. Then looks up at the rest of you again. (Ray is still with the woman next doors, the rest is in here.).

Might you have been so lucky to have spotted what kind of car it is..? I don't suspect you spontaneously remembering a plate number but.. since the town is sealed off for the next couple of days.. a car description would do... And who found the scene and why did he bother to take a peek.. was the door still open or what... I need some answers, and a bit fast wouldn't hurt.. it's late. Now if you would be so kind, then we can all be on our seperate ways...

[Rolled like 5 sense motives and they all ended up above the DC with the roll already so..]

You all get the unnerving feeling he is suspecting more from you then that he tries and let show. It seems he doesn't want you to feel threatened and get scared and hasty and do weird stuff. (We wouldn't want that now would we?=]). At the moment it feels the best to just answer his questions and get him away from you. But hey, he's atill the law and the person for protection and security in this town isn't he?

Doc has been basically shocked by this whole escapade. He manages to mumble some words, then

OOC- I think that you guys and I have a different schedule of posting- I always wind up posting around the big discussions, and I wind up not having much to say. Sorry about that, just chalk it up to Doc being senile.


"Sir, I am sure whichever of my young friends discovered the next room did so in only the most simple and nonobtrusive way possible. All my young friends are stalwart, respectable citizens. Why, one of them was even a police officer some time ago. I am sure that they didn't break in or anything that you might be insinuating."

And I'll make a Diplomacy check to drive the point home. +9 total bonus.

Rau will enter the room where the officers are. Officer? My name is Ray Spacy. The lady was sleepwalking and I'm trained in psychology enough to know not to wake a sleepwalker. I followed her tomake sure she did not hurt herself and she opened the door. That was the first I saw of the room. I think she need more aid than I can provide. Is there an EMT on call? Ray turns to go back to his charge.

The Sheriff regards Ray for a second and then turns back to the rest of the guys who remain silent in the room while Ray walks back to room 210.

Jason get's up from his seat while he puts his beer down and glances calmly and relaxt at the Sheriff like nothing happened and heknew of nothing bad.

Hmm well about the car... let me see... it was a kind of SUV or something. Yeah, I like those cars.. but nope no plate or something, it was dark and snowing... like it still is. So sorry can't help you with anything else. BUt I doubt there are that much SUVs in town and blue parka wearing drivers. They looked tough and in a hurry like a said, if they didn't do it I'm a euhhh you get my point. Was that all Sheriff?

I think that'll do for now. But I'll have my eye on you. Dumont told me you're a bunch of hot heads so I would mind your steps from now on. And tell your friend there's no EMT here in town. Just me and the Deputy for first aid. G'night to ya all, and if we need some more information from you, you can bet on it that you'll be hearing from me again.

With those words the Sheriff walks out of the doorway, beckons to Dumont and they walk down the hallway together, dumont holding a bloody plastic bag. James lets go of a deep sigh when the Sheriff disappears fom view...

Few guys, that was a close one... Jason, how the hell do you keep so cool that way?

Jason can do nothing else then grin at that remark and finishes his beer.

[OOC: Taking control of James for a second to get things along /OOC]

Ray spends some time with the old lady Hesley before one of the hotel staff come up and offer to take her to bed. They say she'll be in good care with them. The rest of you go to bed, a bit shaken en unnerved with the fact what happened in the room next to you.

The rest of the night passes without a problem and somewhere around noon the next day you all awake, allthough you can't really shake off what happend last night.

By late morning the wind and snow have died down, leaving for to seven-foot drifts across the white landscape when you peek out of your window or glance outside of the massive glass walls in the staircase, hallway on the second floor or foyer.

OOC: Damn my internet connection has been out all day

"Wake up guys! I think that from the conversation last night that the Sherrif took the Deputy's side and there will be prettymuch no point to trying to convince him other wise. I say that we see if we can figure out what exactly is in that metal breifcase."

Ross tries to convince Jason to open the case back up. But befor he does that he tries the phones/cell phone/palm to see if outside civilization can be reached.

 

[Jemal]

Jason yawns as he gets up "Dude, it's barely noon, why you want me to open it up now?" After some cajoling, Jason will get out of bed, get dressed, and then open up the briefcase (Although making sure the outside door is locked, so there are no unexpected visitors).
