[d20 Cthulhu] What Rough Beast... (Part I)

[The Crimster]

OOC: Sure, that's fine. Normally I might not allow that, but hey... it's CoC - you can use whatever help you can come with.

A picture of Alan for your viewing pleasure. While he does look somewhat sour in this, it was only because he was not fond of having his picture taken...

Please let me know if this (or other pictures) starts to annoy the bandwith challenged!

The paper that Alister read from at the funeral:

Randy Morrison

Randy nods to everone and granb his phone. He walks a short distance away so as not to be distracted by the others talking.

He answers his phone "Yes, this is Randy. Go ahead."

 

[The Crimster]

Spoof, check your email.

 

[Anabstercorian]

Alex hammers a phone number in to his cell phone.

Ring ring ring.

"Hello, this is Alex. I'm fine, yeah - No, it's not an emergency. Yes, I know it's late. Okay, it kind of is an emergency. No, I'm not hurt, but someone else is. They're not hurt badly enough to need to go to the hospital."

"I'm calling YOU because we're dealing with a spatial anomnaly or something. What's that? I can't hear you - Steven, are you driving? I thought you were in bed - You got up? All right... See you soon."

Alex looks at the phone with a smirk. "I had a feeling that he'd go for a spatial anomnaly."

 

[The Crimster]

Still waiting to hear from a couple of our members, who are having email issues...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*After hearing about Alan's possible affair, Ray is rather thoughtful*

"Alan really didn't seem like the type... still... that letter... "

*He sighs, running his hand through his hair*

"Part of me wants to go off like a character in a bad movie and try to get some information out of her. But that's paranoia and a really bad day talking. I really don't want to re-open old wounds.

I'm going to go check how our mighty bug-slayer is doing."

*With that, Ray goes to see how Sam and Julia are doing*

[OOC - It's Isida. I'm back with a new screen name because of technical troubles]

 

[Anabstercorian]

Alex puts away his cell phone. "That was my nephew, Steven. He's a bit of a math whiz... I figured he might come in handy, and he's always been a bit of an escapist. Seems that he finds the idea of dealing with this sort of madness more appealing than I do." Alex grins weakly and returns to his ice cream.

Randy Morrison

Randy walks away from the group so as not to be disturbed during his phone call. He flips open the phone and answers. You are able to hear just his side of the conversation over the phone, you do not know who he is talking to.

"Morrison."
"Yes, correct. Specifically, an 'Alan Pickman'."
"M.I., doctor?"
"Right, I have an idea what causes heart attacks, but--"
After a brief pause Randy says, "Dr. Frasier, you said there was another unusual factor?"

At this Randy steps farther away from the group and talks in a more subdued tone of voice, and you cannot quite make out what is being said. After a few more minutes Randy hangs up the phone and returns to the group.

“Well it seems the Alan suffered a heart attack that ended his life, but there was some interesting things about it. Dr Silver let me ask your opinion on something. How common is it for a victim’s heart tissue to be completely dead after a heart attack? Also have you ever heard of a case where there was no blockage of the arteries leading either to of from the heart?”

 

[Anabstercorian]

Alex's eyebrows raise. "I don't know ANYTHING about medical science, and I can still tell you that that is not right, at all."
