Kingdom Lost - Episode 1 "Pilot"

"Man I am so glad you were with me at that bus stop. Thanks."

"S'all good. I liked that 'not right in the head' thing," James replies with a chuckle, finding his own chair.

He picks up the pistol in its holster, pauses looking at it for a moment, then puts it back in the drawer, locking the drawer carefully. "No point looking for trouble," he says.

James looks at the gun under his jacket, smiles and shrugs.

"My gun is like my pants. I don't leave the house without it," he quips.

"So do you want to call it a night or go over to this 'Deck' place?"

"Doubt I'd fit in too well, and I'm pretty sure Dan and Sakura have things under wraps, but if you wanna go I ain't stopping ya," he turns and adds something to the paperwork he left on his desk earlier, then looks at it thoughtfully, "I'll even keep you company on the trip if you want."

James looks at the gun under his jacket, smiles and shrugs.

"My gun is like my pants. I don't leave the house without it," he quips.

Dexter chuckles appreciatively. James is probably competent with the thing he thinks.

"Doubt I'd fit in too well, and I'm pretty sure Dan and Sakura have things under wraps, but if you wanna go I ain't stopping ya," he turns and adds something to the paperwork he left on his desk earlier, then looks at it thoughtfully, "I'll even keep you company on the trip if you want."

"Oh, forget it. I've had enough excitement for one evening, and if they want to reach me they have my cell number." He smiles wickedly, "Besides, I don't want to cramp Dan's style. That boy is smooth like China silk."

"I think I'll just head home. I'm working on an Aramaic translation with my buddy Jerry and I should put in a couple of hours on it."

"I think I'll just head home. I'm working on an Aramaic translation with my buddy Jerry and I should put in a couple of hours on it."

James nods understandingly.

"Have fun then," he says with a half-smile.

Translations... fun. Meh, each to their own.

"Think I'll stay a bit longer though, finish a couple of things since I'm in the mood," James adds, and writes something else, "I'll cya tomorrow in any case."

Dex gathers his things, puts on his coat and heads for the door. "See ya in the morning," he calls over his shoulder on his way out.

(OOC: Dexter will walk home and, barring any interruptions, will spend his evening in the thrilling manner described.)

Talking about cars is a sure way to get Dan to feel comfortable. He grins at Sakura's story.

"Police auctions, yeah. We drove into Fort St. John's once for the auction at the Mountie shop -- my buddy picked up a '92 Silverado 4-by-4 with Bilstein shocks and rolled it on the way home."

He chuckles.

"We were pretty drunk."

Things are different up north.

Beer finished, Dan catches the waitress' eye and signals for another, checking to see if Sakura's up for another round.

"Sure, I'd be happy to check it out. I used to race dirt bikes and you know, just goof off and stuff."

 

[Tokiwong]

Just let me know when you are using Gather Information and what you are looking for, if anything. Specific info on Selene may require a Wealth Check, while general info and news will not. The Wealth Check is to grease the wheels so to speak

Sakura accepts the offered drink, and she starts in on her fries and burger, putting some extra ketchup on her plate for the fries. "Its the brakes really, its not that they don't work, just that they make all kinds of noise. So what do you think about this whole case, do you think he is cheating on her or no?" She asks the viking look a like curiously.

as she finishes her dinner, she gives the waitress the money for the check, and a fairly standard tip before she gets up to mingle and she if she can't find out anything about the Selene that had Danny tripping over his tongue. "Danny, I'm gonna look around, I'll start on one side, you start at the other, and between us we should find out everything about Selene, just pretend your a student hereand people should be ok talking." she tells him, taking her drink with her as she went into the crowd.

OOC: Gather Info check, if there is a promising lead she will offer a bribe if its required, so long as its not above her wealth score

 

[barsoomcore]

"Right. Gotcha. Okay."

I'm practically an actor. I can do this. College boy, that's me.

Dan is encouraged that his clothes are pretty much the same as most of the other guys in here -- t-shirt and jeans. He starts making his way through the crowd, seeing if anyone can tell him about Selene who works down the hill at Best Buy. Pretending he's interested in her won't be too difficult, and he's actually wondering if she's not maybe here tonight, which gets him looking around a little more eagerly.

Despite himself, he wants to see her again.

Sakura rolls a 22 on her Gather Information check, easily bypassing the DC 15 for specific information on a given subject. Sakura spends 2 hours on her check result. Sakura makes a Wealth check as well and gets a 20, buying drinks and buying friendly. Dan rolls a Gather Information check of 13 and only garners some local information. Dan spends 3 hours on his result.

Sakura is able to find out a few tidbits of information on Selene. She is in a band that performs on Tuesday nights and Friday nights. The band is called White Divine, and they do many different covers of various popular bands, and a few original pieces written by Selene. Someone tells her that she works at the Best Buy down the street. One of the guys she talks to says that she once watched Selene punch a guy in the face that got to fresh with her. She has reputation of a rough girl, but most guys admit she is pretty hot. A young woman say she sees an older man come in on the nights she is performing, and word has it the two are dating, but it could just be a rumor.

Dan on the other hand has a rough time with some of the girls, who think he I just hitting on them. But he finds that a pretty decent band plays here on Tuesday and Friday nights, and that the lead singer is pretty hot. Some of he students are wierded out by the satanic murder at the school, and some mumble about the possibility of some crazy satanic cult on campus. He also gets some info about a big Fraternity party this weekend, which is supposed to be the event for the season.

After about three hours the two meet up again, having worked the crowd for information.

 

[Shalimar]

Sakura grins at all the information she is able to get on Selene, if she has any luck, Dave will show up tomorrow and do something incriminating for her and Danny to get on film, and solve the case in record time, something that she wanted very much, it would help her impress Graham.

After she has found out all she could, she took a seat at the bar, and watched Danny going about and having a hard time with all the girls, she couldn't help but laugh at the over-grown goof. When he finally finished, she ordered him another Beer, and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, I got all the info we need. I talked to a girl that says an older guy shows up at Selene's performances and that they are dating, if its Dave, we will be able to find out tomorrow, she has performances on Tuesdays and Fridays, so hopefully we'll catch him with his hands in the cookie jar." she says grinning.

"I'll just get Dexie to email Sandra, get her to call me and then we can double check on what he has been doing when Selene has had her performances, for the last couple of weeks anyway."
