Kingdom Lost - Episode 2 "Department 7"

"That's an interesting insight into your heritage," James notes quietly after Marlene has left, "Must be unnerving to be the descendant of some 'great evil'. What really puzzles me though is why I haven't noticed any dwarves before now, it's like a switch has been hit in my head and all these things are only coming to my attention now. But enough of that, I'm guessing this whole Nephilim thing has you worried, wanna talk about? Or would you rather deal with things as they come? I do have a degree in psychology you know, so I can do the whole help get things in perspective deal."

James enquires, concerned about how Selene might feel about the recent series of revelations. Of course how it's affected him is another matter, but if he can help someone else then he'd likely feel better also.

Selene sighs, “See it is the opposite with me, its like no one else could see so easily what I could see. I have gotten so used to it, that I don’t even mention it anymore, because I know people don’t understand.”

“Like that detective, we met the other night. I mean he isn’t normal, not like you or me. I mean he isn’t really strange looking, like Gabriel, but he is different. He looks like us, but his ears are pointier then ours, his eyes oddly shaped… I mean the easiest thing I could think of is like the Lord of the Rings, films.”

She takes another sip of her milkshake, “But I never would have thought that I might be descended from something so crazy. I knew I was different, but not that different. I am just a little confused right now, you know? But,” she smiles, “I am not scared to find out where this will lead me. I just hope that Sakura and I can find out more of our heritage, and why we are the way we are.”

James smiles, impressed by Selene's resolve.

"In that case I think you'll do fine," he says, before thinking of the point Selene brought up about the detective, "Which detective? One of the D7 ones? I wonder how much of Lord of the Rings can be applied to this. As far as we know Tolkien could have been writing a history book in light of all this... Totally off topic though, how much do you think silver bullets would cost? Suggesting I might need them, should werewolves or vampires exist as well."

Hope I don't need silver bullets, they'd cost an arm and a leg! And where could I buy them? Meh, I'll worry about it if it ever comes up.

James resumes drinking his milkshake.

James resumes drinking his milkshake.

"The one that worked for the police, Detective..." she thinks for a minute, "you know Detective Rose? Yeah I think that was his name, I mean I didn't notice anyone else that looked different offhand," she says as Marlene returns.

"Here you go, two specials plus chili-cheese fries for the two of you," she places down two large plates of food. A double patty burger with chili-cheese, onion rings, and thick buns, with the messy fries on the side. You can already feel your heart stopping...

Selene smirks, "Now this is more like it," she starts to dig in.

 

[Festy_Dog]

James is impressed by the food.

"If I'm not gunned down in a blaze of glory, I want to die eating something like this," he says, before trying some chips.

Detective Rose... a Tolkien style elf? Fck oath, and I never noticed. Enough thought, eating now.

"Spicy," he says as the chilli from the cheese kicks in, "I think we should get Dexter one of these."

 

[JimAde]

If Dexter is about to get busy, I need to know what skills he is going use and what he is going to try and accomplish, and all that. Also any action point expenditures so I can get rolling

[OOC: I'm just laying the groundwork for later hacking rolls. I don't actually want to roll (and have a chance of getting caught) until I check in with the other PCs. It's a little risky and I don't want to get us all in trouble if we're not in agreement. Also, we need to figure out who will pose as a student so I can make the records match. Is this something Dexter can reasonably attempt?

As far as Dexter knows, Selene and James will be back in a few minutes. He didn't know they'd run into the children of Moradin ]

The meal is spicy, but very good, and messy. Selene fills the idle moments with more chatter of what she is going to buy for the summer. Ho class is going and then questions James about Australia asking mundane questions, like how the beaches are, life compared to the states and normal chitchat. At the end of the meal you both pay for your respective meals, and grab a Franky Joe’s Sloppy Special with chili-cheese fries for Dexter.

Selene walks out to her vehicle and opens the door for James as she gets in, “So anywhere else you need to go, or should we head straight back?”

Dexter

Understood and yes Dexter can try and create fake records, but it would be pretty illegal, and he would need to roll well

James will offer to pay for Selene's meal, because he's feeling wealthy after closing the Martin case and he also wants to help repay her for petrol used taxying people about in Dan's absence.

Selene walks out to her vehicle and opens the door for James as she gets in, “So anywhere else you need to go, or should we head straight back?”

James thanks Selene and slides into the passenger seat.

"Yeah, we should probably get back. Dan'd be wondering where we were right now," he says, looking at his watch.

He glances at his pistol under his jacket and an idea comes to him.

Hmm, now that's a nifty idea, but I'll wait until I come into a bit more money.

Selene lets James pay, and then the two of them make the short trip back to the office. They alk back into the office with the greasy food in the brown bag. Selene sets it on Dexter's desk, "Enjoy," she says with a smile.

She takes a seat on James' desk, while Alicia barely glances up from her Cosmopolitan magazine.

 

[Festy_Dog]

James greets Alicia and Dexter on his way in.

"Any news or revelations?" James asks, and leans back in his chair, "I know we have an interesting story to tell."

Dexter rubs his hands together greedily and tears open the greasy bag. Seeing the contents he runs to the bathroom and returns with a small stack of napkins. "You guys go first," he says happily. "I'm not going to be in a condition to talk for a while." He lifts out the dripping sandwich and tears off a huge chunk.
