drothgery's Buffyverse game (IC)

"Whether it's a message or a distraction, I think our best bet is finding out what the sailors had in common," Gavin says. "Which, as James put it, is probably going to be easiest for you, Riley. If we can get some more details on these guys from that other agent you were meeting with, maybe that'll lead us to who may have hired Li."

"Li is an assassin with connections to Wolfram and Hart, that may very well be part of the connection. Perhaps they're the ones who want these people dead, and this is her way of repaying them for protecting her during her parents death." James scratched at the stubble on his chin as he thought, and spoke to Riley. "We definitely need to find what connects them, Preferably before she gives us any more 'leads' to follow." the watcher turned from Riley to Taylor "And we need to stake out the areas they were found in, keep an eye out for anything else suspicious... And that's Stake out in the 'watch' sense, not the 'go hunting' sense. From what we know, she's dangerous, connected, and experienced. I don't want you going after her unprepared."
 

"I'm not a very good Slyph, or maybe its just beacause I'm so young? If I was a better Slyph it would be kinda easy to find this person. Slyph's are like air people, really experienced Slyph's can use the air for their eyes and ears. If someone is out in the open air, I mean if they are outside than a Slyph could find them, though I guess its kind of hard to search an entire city like that." Gale offered.

"It would be so great to be able to do that, I could have watched you from wherever and not have been seen, then again I'm too curious to have not followed inside...oh well." the little blond demon says wistfully. "I don't know if there are any Slyphs that would do it even if they could though. How about you ask that TA, Dawn Summers, she might know some magic to track this Li girl if she is a watcher."

"Ooh, I've never been on a stake out before, can I go with you? It sounds like it might be fun...or maybe not if its just staying in one place waiting."
 

"Dawn's not a watcher," Taylor replies irritably to Gale. "She's just a slayer's sister. She was at Sunnydale when it got turned into a hole in the ground though, so...I guess that's kind of cool."

She looks at James and shrugs. "Anyway, 'watching' is your job, remember? Seems to me like I should go on patrol like normal. If this vampire girl is so together, she's probably keeping tabs on me...maybe using a regular human. So if I suddenly change my routine, it'll put her on edge. But, here's the good part."

Taylor grins. "If Tinkerbell here and maybe Riley or someone can keep up with me, maybe they can figure out who my tail is...and then we'll have someone who takes orders from Li to spend some quality time with."
 

"For the background of the sailor, I doubt we will have anymore thing than what I already have. I can try to pull some strings, but I would not bet on that to advance this investigation. If those sailors had anything to do with the slayer business, it would probably be top secret.

I can also look what we have on Li Zheng and also what we have on Wolfram and Hart. That might give us more idea.

If someone is tailing you, he might already have spot Gale following you, so she might have difficulty to find out any tail on you, but it worth the try I think.

And for magic to track Li, I have no idea, so it's your call if you want to try that."
 

"I'm not at all good at magic. Magic is fascinating, but it takes a lot of patience and uhh years of study. Its not really a good fit for Slyphs." Gale says, pouting, then she shrugs.

"It could be fun trying to spot someone who is trying to spot you without being spotted. Almost like a game of hide and go seek really, except more exciting."
 


"If she's had someone tailing you for this long without you noticing, then either you're loosing your edge, or they're very good. Though I suppose it can't hurt for Gale to continue following you, just as she has been, only instead of keeping her eyes on you, she can keep an eye out for trouble.
James thought for a moment about what Riley said "I may be able to work up a locating ritual, though they can be tricky, and the wording must be rather precise. I'll look into it, but I still think we should get any information we can on the dead sailors. If there's anything connecting even one of them to the others, or to the Zheng's, Wolfram and Heart, or the occult in general, that could give us something to go on."

"In any case, I don't think we need to bother Dawn or the council, no sense raising the alarm just yet."
