Hellmouth IC

IC:
The nurse looks at matt and merceds and Harumphs. "That's funny, you with the ones claiming to be his Grandkids? I'll tell you the same thing I told your 'cousins'. You've got the wrong hospital and the wrong guy, This man has no living relatives. Heck, he's not even here legally, no insurance or anything.

Gwen finds a single website with Chakra on it, but it turns out to be a brand-name Egyptian cola.
As for Mr Reberts: You find that he's a Curator at a british museum, and has no living relatives. He was born in 1944.

William looks down the ally and sees a dark figure standing there
"Oh, not much.. 'cept where he's hidin out. Don't s'pose the information'd be worth somethin too ye, would it?"

Alex, after several minutes of work, finds many reports of neckwounds, but none of the victims are reported as blind.

Tom finds that there are tons of sites about demons and summoning, but he can't find any relevant information, mostly speculation and small tidbits that he'ld allready known (Nothing I haven't allready told you).
He does however find that all the items were stolen from around BrightVale over the past month or 2.

Gary spends hours in the stacks and at tables researching, and finds out that the ritual has been attempted before, but never succesfully performed. It is, however, said to have occured in two other dimensions.. and nothing has been heard from those dimensions since (This is from one of the few watcher journals left.. That of Rupert Giles).
None of the crimes were witnessed (At least not by anyone who remained alive enough to tell the police anything), and all the information points to either some bizarre cult ritual, or a massively perverse scavenger hunt. (That's written in an actual police report).

OOC: The 4 Researchers are at night-time (About 10PM), William is at Dusk (8-9), and the 2 at the hospital are around supertime(6-7). We'll assume you've all eaten or gotten food brought in.
I'ld like to hear from William, Matt, and Mercedes only until they're done with their little adventures. Things should speed up now that I've finished several things that I was working on.
So, calling Corlon, Kitana and Shalimar for now.

"I uh, didn't know anyone else would come and see him. Thats good to know that we aren't his only friends. do you know where his 'grand children' went? I feel bad for him about this whole ting, so I want to do some thing special for him, and they might have some ideas. I geuss he wont be up for a party anytime soon will he?" Matt asks slightly dejectedly.

He puts his arm around Mercedes shoulder and whispers "play along. laugh and suggest something else." Turning back to the nurse he asks "They didn't leave a phone number for him to call did they?" he says sounding hopeful. "He's been through a lot and deserves a little pep-talk."
 

"Just get your hands on the computer while I distract the nurse so we can find out what room he's in," she whispers back.

Mercedes lip started trembling and she suddenly burst into tears, throwing herself at the nurse. "But he's such a kind old man! He'll be alright won't he? Oh please say he'll be alright! I can't bear it if he's gonna die." She wailed loudly, burying her face in the woman's chest and clutching at her pitifully.
 

Matt looks very stunned when the girl launches herself on the nurse, but does as she says. He moves away to give the two space, and also to give him time to look for the computer, or even the floor charts that they keep at the nurses station to tell them who is where, who needs what pills, and when they need them.

If he can't find the plan then he will glance at the computer, and if Mercedes is still distracting the nurse, he will look it up if it isn't on screen.
 

"well, I just wanted to find this guy, I heard he was pretty cool, it's not like his wereabouts are worth a million dollars or something, but..." says William as he thinks for a second "what type of payment are you talking?"
 

Matt finds the information.. second floor, room 2C, but that's all he can see as the lady glances over at him just as he looks innocently away from the screen. She does her best to comfort Mercedes, but eventually waves over a child psychiatrist who happens to be passing by, and he comes over to see if Mercedes would like to talk to him, b/c the nurse has very important duties to attend to.

William - The man in the alley chuckles "Well, I was thinking along the lines of I do you a favour now, you do me one later.. We both know you want to stop the ritual, and truth be told, so do I. So what do you say?"
 

Mercedes throws herself in Matt's arms, holding him as if her world was over. "No...I think I'll have my boyfriend comfort me," she sniffles. "Thank you though, you're very kind. Its been such a hard day and you know us cheerleaders...so emotional."
 

Matt winks at Mercedes to let her know that he has the info, once he is sure the nurse hase gone and the psychiatrist has his back to him.

"Come on Mercedes, you know he is gonna get better. There is no reason to fret. Its all going to be okay. Stop wasting this friendly doctor's time, and we can go to the Cafateria and get you some ice cream, my treat." He says wiping a tear from her cheek.

"Thank you." He says to the doctor before turning her towards the cafeteria, leading her on. "Got it, you did that crying thing pretty well, do it often?" he whispers as he guides her to the stairs. Instead of going to the Cafe, he will lead her upstairs to the hospital room.
 

Dabbing at her eyes with the back of her sleeve, Mercedes makes sure she's out of view of the nurse and the doctor before grinning at Matt. "A slayer's got to have many weapons at her disposal, doesn't she? Besides the sharp pointy stuff. She can have the heart pulling sniffly kind."

They head up the room to check up on the watcher.
 

"Well, if we both want to stop the ritual, then why won't you show me to him for free? But I see you don't want to do that. Do you have a favor that you need done now, or do I just give you a 'one free favor' coupon?" William says as he tries to get a better look at the guy in the alley, "...who are you anyway?"

or what are you, I have a feeling accepting to help stop this ritual was a bad idea... :o
