Ross rolls over in bed and picks up the Phone. "... Yea its me ... Well I was sleeping, but no. ... Allright, allright, where do you want me to meet you? I got nothing to do for the next few days." After getting all the information Ross rolls out of bed and begins to put his clothes on. Grabbing the first clean pair of jeans he can find he pulls them up and buttons them.

Ross picks up the phone, just wearing his jeans and whiping the sleep out of his eyes, and dials a number that he has not used for a while. "Hey Doc ... Yea, I know what time it is ... Well Ray called about a possible family problem and ... Yup like 5 min ago. Anyways He said that he may need some help, so I had your number and... " Ross gives Doc all the information about the location that he was given and thanks him for agreeing. Over the past couple of months Ross had talked with Doc a few times about the events that happen. Mainly to try to pt some peices together, but they always fell apart.

Reaching for the first button down Hawiian T-Shirt he can find (having alot of them for looking cool at the beach) and puts it on. He packs a small suitcase with a few items (not including the bullet-proof vest) including; some clothes, laptop, cell phone, swiss army knife, and toilet items.

Looking around Ross realises that this small get-away with some old friends may be just what he needs. After him and Amy broke up a few weeks ago, after their 3 month relationship, Ross has been exceptionally depressed. He has gone to the beach for a few hours in the morning then shortly after noon he usually goes either to the library, or home to play his video games. Well at least this will be a change of pace.

Ross grabs his keys and heads out to his used Audi A4 and hops in. Driving towards his destination he stops to get an instant Cappachino at a dirty gas station. When he walks in the lights almost make the walls look green. The flourescent bulb over the auto-Cappachino machine is flickering and really messing with his eyes. Something about this place and the dirty/strange situation reminds him of that Cave in Snowflake Valley...

OOC: Did we get any XP or any GM gifts from Chapter 1 besides what we found on the bodies?
 

John took the paper out of the typewriter, and layed it on top of the rest.

The Occult: Here and Now
A novel by John Maguire, P.H.D.



Dedications
* To Mary - My wife and my love. I miss your laugh, Bunny.
* To My Lodge Brothers - This book could not have been written
without the courage, heart, and soul each of you showed me
that winter. We are bonded - and I shall never forget. But
don't count on me skiing again any time soon.


Finally done, Doc thought to himself. And all it took was three months of pain and agony. But it was worth it.

His previous attempt to write a book was a complete failure. Almost 10 years, and in the end it was a 1000 page monster that would never see publishing. But this book might make it. The events of the winter had almost seemed to open doorway's in John's mind. Doorways that disturbed him sometimes, late at night. But once opened, such things rarely closed of their own accord.

Startling him out of his reverie, the phone rang. John crossed his study to the phone, a mystified look on his face. Who would be calling...?

"Hello...? Who is this? Do you know what... Oh! Ross!" A smile lighted John's face. A call from his Lodge brothers was always welcome. "Ray, you say... He called you...? Unh-hunh... Tell me what's going on..."

As Ross relayed Ray's need, John's face hardened. He looked to the manuscript and sighed. I'll send it when I get back. Whatever Ray needs, it can't be anything as bad as Snowflake Valley.

"Don't worry, Ross. I'll be there."

John hung up the phone and slowly went upstairs. Time to pack.

Nothing that you haven't bought in the meanwhile. And you still have the Disc may I remind you...

And according to XP I keep track of that so I'll let you know when the moment is there :)

And Crane... very very nice thing you have through up there. Again, I'm so damned impressed about what you guys come up with. Just as Ross' relation falling apart and stuff, awsome guys! Awsome indeed! Keep it up, hah!

And Shaper, why doesn't Ross call the rest, he's busy making calls anyway :D

The lodge Brothers
Seems you've gotten yourselves a party name :p (lol)

OOC: Just to clarify, the Jason from the e-mail is NOT my character, correct? I was confused for a little while, but I think I've got it figured out now.. It's just a different Jason.

IC: Jason sighed with relief as he stopped in the alley and looked behind him, around the corner.. He'ld finally lost the bastard. Checking to make sure his gun was still put, he left the alley and headed home. He shook his head as he entered his appartment, double checking behind him to make sure he wasn't followed. He almost WISHED something would happen to distract him from his problems. Another werewolf might be fun, now that he had some silver bullets. DAMN those were hard to come by, though... And the wooden stake in his left boot was another testament to his newfound awakening to the occultic monsters out there.
 

Ray drove for a few miles wem that nagging feeling started happening again. He decided to call Jason, James and Doc. Hi James. It's Ray. Yeah I'm OK but I think I might need some help. My nephew Jason claims that a Tattoo he got is kiling people. yeah :):):):)edupness runs in my family. Ray gives James the Directions to the collage and then calls his friend Jason. Hey Buffy! it's Zander. the rest of the scoobie gang is getting together. Ray puts up with the insults and lets Jason know what is going on.

[OOC: just to keep things straight lets call Ray's nephew Jas.]

And Jemal, loved the reintro there with the lost the persuer guy. Really cool :D Your chars really are people with a life and a personality, great!

[Now we need just one post from James/Festy that he's underway and I'll get things updated! Or if by tonight (for me) he hasn't posted I think I'll just update anyway :D
 

Hey Buffy! it's Zander. the rest of the scoobie gang is getting together.

"Shee-yat, man, I aint no buffy, just call me Spike.. now go get Giles." Jason chuckles as they exchange some buffy jokes. "Meet you at the scoobie shack?"

[OOC: Shaper posted some questions and remarks in the old Chapter 1 thread, I answered it rather extensively and it might interest you all. So if you have nothing to do or are interested by it go take a peek. /OOC]
