Kingdom Lost - Episode 1 "Pilot"

[Shalimar]

"Whoa... maybe you are psychic?" Alicia jokes, "but that is pretty freaky, what are you going to do, try and stop Selene from getting killed, I mean hypothetically if your vision is true... I mean... well okay I am a just a little wierded out now."

"Its probably just a day dream brought in by all of this weird stuff going on with this case and those weird murders a the campus. Its nothing, I just think we should be careful, there's nothing wrong with being careful Alicia." Sakura says seriously, emphasizing the statement by slipping her gun and custom-sized holster into place over her t-shirt where it would be covered by her jacket.

"I did get a camera, but I want all of us to go, so Dexie, you get to use it since your tech boy." she says, placing the camera onto his desk.

Dexter looks back and forth at the faces of his colleagues, trying to gauge their mood. He looks uncertain, but says, "Sakura, you've got your head screwed on straighter than just about anybody I know. I don't think it's nothing." He takes the camera from his desk and starts to familiarize himself with it. "I think Myron had it right. This is a heavy case." He looks down seriously for a moment, then his face brightens and he says gleefully "Hey, look, Firewire!" He starts furiously opening drawers in his desk looking for the right cable to attach the camera to his computer.

"It's not nothing, Sakura. Something weird is going on. Something really weird."

Dan doesn't own a gun or really any weapons at all. He just rubs at his fists and hopes the Nova gets a chance to shine. Nobody really appreciates his car properly.

"Let's all go in my car. We may be wanting to leave in a hurry."

 

[Festy_Dog]

A suppressor... nah... well, check anyway.

"Sakura, can you remeber what the gun looked like?" James asks, sounding as if the question has an important answer, "It'll help in identifying the possible killer."

 

[Shalimar]

"No, its not like it was really clear or anything, I don't really remember what kind of gun it was. The guy was waiting for her backstage though." she tells the others with an uncomfortable shrug, feeling a touch weirded out because they believe her about the vision when she isn't really sure of it yet either.

"I'm taking my bike, cause you never know, and it might be nice to have 2 vehicles." she turns to Dexie when he exclaims, grinning at his exuberance with her new toy. "Your gonna show me how that works you know." she tells him, "Besides we are still working for Sandra, so we are really there to catch Selene and Mr. Martin, I don't think anything will happen but we do need to be ready."

"No problem," says Dexter. "Smile!" He takes a quick picture of the group, then turns in his chair to get a shot of Alicia reading her trashy magazine. After a couple more fun snapshots, he fiddles with the camera a bit. "Ok, here's the macro setting," he says. Then he takes out the original slip of paper with the strange characters on it and carefully photographs it with a variety of flash (and no flash) settings. "You never know if we might need to e-mail this or something," he observes.

Once you are all done planning I will go ahead and move to the evening time, unless you guys have specific stuff you have planned for the day?

 

[barsoomcore]

OOC: Dan is done planning. He leads a simple life, does our Dan.

The Deck
08:20 PM local time, Santa Monica, CA

The investigators show up for the evening entertainment at the college bar. Several students are in attendance, and the place is much more packed then the evening before, and currently they are finishing up with some karaoke, and a trio of college girls is singing an interesting rendition of “I’m a slave…”

On the back deck several students are out smoking and conversing, and as the karaoke wins down, several members of Selene’s band are preparing the stage for the live entertainment. The owner, a slim gentleman with a receding hairline and a ponytail takes the main stage, “Alright, well here they are for their third week performing here live at The Deck, White Divine!” he claps his hands as a spotlight shines on the makeshift stage, focusing on Selene, who wears a super miniskirt of white with her midriff exposed and a white t-shirt, that does little to hide her blue bra underneath. She has her hair in two ponytails, and is wearing some knee high black boots, she has a tattoo of a flaming sword on her right outer thigh.

“Thanks for having us, tonight we hope to bring back a few oldies, with a song we think is ready for the masses, written by Jay on the bass,” she gestured to a grungy white male with dreads.

Selene smiles, and the music starts, a familiar riff. White Divine breaks into a cover of Guns & Roses “Sweet Child of Mine.” Selene’s voice is an interesting fit, for the song, its not harsh, but very moving, and she can definitely belt out the notes…

James smiles, appreciating the music.

Well, Dave has good taste, I'll say that... Hmm, better safe than sorry, I'm going backstage.

"Tell the others I'll be backstage, just in case Sakura's vision actually happens," he tells Dan as he passes.

He locates the door to the backstage, and if there's someone keeping watch, studies them for a minute before trying to bluff his way past [Empathy & Bluff].

"Hi, I'm Jim Vance, from Flip records. Alright if I wait backstage to speak with Selene?" would be his means of getting through if required.

If there's noone guarding the door he'll just head on through. Once he's through though he'll start checking out anyone hanging around there.
