IG's Legend of The Ripper [IC]

[Rhun]

Rexy wanders slowly over to the wine rack, checking to see if any particularly fine vintages may have survived in this place.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Rayel creeps a bit closer to look at the footprints. Though she is no expert tracker, she wanted to see if the prints were barefoot, shod, or even human at all (with any evidence of claws or something of the sort).

The footprints appear to have been made from large, shod feet.

Rexy thumbs through the and doesn't really find anything of interest. As she randomly pulls bottles from the shelves, she freezes when she hears a faint click come from somewhere near her.

Dacen Athrin, Human Cleric of St. Cuthbert HP: 8/9

Dacen steps forward with Ray, intent on keeping a protective eye on the newest member of the party. "A crazy and pretty big person, maybe," he comments, observing the size of the footprints.

 

[Rhun]

Does the click conioncide with pulling a bottle, or something else entirely?

Does the click conioncide with pulling a bottle, or something else entirely?

Yup.

 

[Rhun]

At the sound of the click, Rexy reflexively takes a few steps back.


Assuming nothing untoward happens to her, she will begin looking to see what caused the "click."

 

[Autumn]

Fen jerks around to glare at Rexy. "Can I make a suggestion? Stop touchin' things."

Grumbling, he moves forward alongside her to look into what might have made the noise.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

At the click, Rayel jumps at least a foot and whirls towards the sound, empty hand extended like she expects to throw something at whatever made the noise. However, there's nothing at present, and Rayel drops her hand, feeling foolish, and looks around.

"What was that?" she whispers, and looks again over at the big feet. "Whoever made the footprints was a big, big person with shoes. Maybe a bully boy?" she offers tentatively. By "bully boy" she means the kind of ubiquitous muscle-for-hire in the bad parts of town.

 

[Autumn]

"Do they make 'em that big?" Fen queries dubiously. "These don't look human ta me."

In a way, Ray's presence is quite a blessing. He could be getting quite disturbed right now by the implications of those footprints, but expressing them out loud to someone as seemingly naive as this girl seems to help somehow. So long as he can seem hard-boiled to somebody else, perhaps it helps him a little to seem so to himself.
