Kingdom Lost - Episode 1 "Pilot"

[barsoomcore]

Dan's been following developments almost as quickly as Dexter and Jim. He's not the fastest thinker, but he is reasonably thorough.

"Sounds like your cousin has been keeping tabs on you, but for some reason didn't want to hang around -- and hasn't tried to make contact before now. If he was afraid of something, say he was being followed, would he lead whoever it is to you like this? Why not just mail the note to you? That's way safer for both of you."

Dan considers the note. It defeats him effortlessly. It even seems to sneer at his efforts.

"Seems though, like our Selene is involved in something that people are interested in. I got approached by a cryptic weirdo myself yesterday."

He explains the whole Harvey incident and the subsequent conversation with Graham.

"So that's two weirdoes getting interested in us. Anyone wearing new aftershave?"

As Alicia turns away, he casts a quick glance at James, keeping his expression carefully neutral, but with his eyebrows raised as if to say "Ooookaay..."

James doesn't make a noise, but his expression suggests mild amusement.

Yeah, we'll capture an alien, drug it, give it the old probe treatment then leave it on the doorstep of its spaceship. See how much they like having it done to them.... HAHAHAHAHA-ahem... heh.

If Alicia turns around he nods, wearing a serious expression, and pretends to seriously consider her idea.

"Okay, so what's our next step? Go back to Professor Wilson and see if she came up with anything? I don't want to badger her, but I can't imagine how Myron found out what we're up to if she didn't tell him."

"Sounds like a plan. Professor Wilson is our first concern at this point I'd say," James replies.

"Seems though, like our Selene is involved in something that people are interested in. I got approached by a cryptic weirdo myself yesterday."

He explains the whole Harvey incident and the subsequent conversation with Graham.

James nods, but in actual thought this time.

"The picture I'm getting, is that either Selene and Dave are having an affair while Selene is under investigation for something unrelated, or, they're not actually having an affair and are meeting for some other reason which, as before, she may be under investigation for. I think we've stumbled onto someone else's case, or at least are scraping alongside it," he says, frowning slightly.

"So that's two weirdoes getting interested in us. Anyone wearing new aftershave?"

James sticks his nose into his shirt, bringing it out a moment later in order to shake his head.

"So that's two weirdoes getting interested in us. Anyone wearing new aftershave?"

Dexter shoots Dan a look. "Myron's not a weirdo," he says, "just a little...odd. Eccentric even."

"It runs in the family," he adds with a smile.

"Sounds like a plan. Professor Wilson is our first concern at this point I'd say," James replies.

"I'll buy that," Dexter says.

"The picture I'm getting, is that either Selene and Dave are having an affair while Selene is under investigation for something unrelated, or, they're not actually having an affair and are meeting for some other reason which, as before, she may be under investigation for. I think we've stumbled onto someone else's case, or at least are scraping alongside it," he says, frowning slightly.

"Yep, sounds like it. Too bad Graham's not here to ask about it. So, it seems like you guys," Dexter says with a nod toward Sakura and Dan, "are making good progress on the Selene/Dan end of things. Why don't James and I go see Doctor Wilson again today, while you guys pursue things with the philandering husband?"

Dexter pauses and, suddenly seeming nervous but trying to be casual says, "Oh, and I suppose somebody should update our client." He swallows audibly. "So, uh, who should...you know...do that?"

I await to see what the players plan to do for the day

Sakura can't help but chuckle at Alicia's belief in Aliens, and her insistance of aliens and the occult on the case, the athletic detective believed in what she could see, could feel, could touch, no one had ever brought her an alien, or a cup of magic to her, she had never seen the devils fingerprints at a crime scene, no, the occult was for stories, not for detectives.

"I'll contact Sandra,I think she actually intimidates some of you, that and sean is such a cute baby," she says grinning, digging out Sandra's email. Sitting at her desk, she shoots off a quick email to Sandra to have the woman call her cell-phone since she wanted it at Sandra's conveinance.

"Sandra'll call when she gets the message," she tells the others, and then looks curiously at Danny, "So you are coming with me to the club tonight, but who elses is coming? I want some electronics toys to get it all for her if we get some proof." she say looking at Dexie.

Dexter fidgets a bit, but tries to look like he doesn't notice this comment.

"We should be back from seeing Professor Wilson in plenty of time," Dexter says. "Did Graham leave the key for the equipment locker," he asks.

(OOC: I don't have any surveillance equipment on my sheet. Do we have access to anything that we didn't actually buy?)

I am afraid, you guys are sort stuck with what you got, unless your willing to make a Requisition check, i.e. working stuff into the Budget. Let me know if you are making a Requisition Check

"I'll contact Sandra,I think she actually intimidates some of you, that and sean is such a cute baby," she says grinning, digging out Sandra's email.

James shrugs, having never met the woman, he wouldn't know.

"We should be back from seeing Professor Wilson in plenty of time," Dexter says.

At that point in time James checks the stuff he's carrying, looking to be going through a mental check list.

Wallet... leatherman... keys... knives... gun... backpack... yep, everything's fine.

"Ready when you are," he says to Dexter, and gives a thumbs up.

(OOC: I'm not quite sure what a Requisition check is or who we would make it to in Graham's absence, so...)

"Well," Dexter says, "we need this stuff anyway. Maybe we can pool our resources and get a decent small camcorder, then have Graham reimburse us when he gets back. If we can't scrape together the funds for that we should at least get one of those little digital audio recorders."

At that point in time James checks the stuff he's carrying, looking to be going through a mental check list.

"Ready when you are," he says to Dexter, and gives a thumbs up.

Dexter nods. "Yep. Sakura, can you run over to Best Buy to get the stuff, while Dan drops us off? I'm getting pretty sick of the Big Blue Bus," he adds.

(OOC: I am willing to Aid Another on the wealth check, but Dexter is BROKE. Wealth bonus +1)

OOC: your telling me that no one has a camera, digital or a regular 35mm?
