Kingdom Lost - Episode 2 "Department 7"

[Tokiwong]

"Hi Mom," Sakura calls out in greeting to her mother as she walks through the house, "I... yea, I was wondering if we could talk about this stuff, there is just so much I want to learn, I mean, when did you first find out you could do all of this stuff...er what can you do? Dad told me you had gifts too, I can do telekinesis, and I did have a premonition too, but I am just learning all of this stuff and its weird."

Mother smiles, "Dear, I hope I don't dissapoint you, I can do telekenisis as well, that is what they call it right? I am not sure if I can teach you anything, I never really developed these abilities, I had a choice between that and your father, at the time, I think I made the right choice."

"What was it like for you? Was it like a light switch and now you can notice all kinds of things like Elves and stuff?" Sakura asks, her questions so rapid fire that everything was sort of running together. "So how come you didn't tell me this was a possibility? I talked to some people at Dept 7 and they told me about something called the Inquisition, people who actually hunt people like us. They might be the people that hurt Koga, I...I guess it would have been nice if you had told me about this stuff Mom."

"I am not quite sure what you are talking about dear, a light swtch? I did some drugs in the sixties and saw all kinds of wierd stuff, but I am not sure what you mean by that," she sighs.

"I didn't want to startle you guys, and your father has never been comfortable with that side of me, so I decided to best not bring it up unless I have to. What would I have told you? Hey I have a gift, you may or may not get it, and if you did, people may think you are wierd. I would rather you kids had as normal an upbringing as possible. I think at the time that was more important to me, and your father," she finishes.

"I don't know anything about this Inquisiton but they don't sound like nice people," she replies offhand.

James & Dexter

Total check is 27, 22 with normal roll, including an added +2 modifier for the ID badge made by Dexter, and then an additional 5 for the Action Point dice. Very Good roll.

The large bouncer, easily over six goot three inches and well over 260 pounds glares down for a second. He looks over his guest list, “I don’t see you on the list, Sound and Fury right?”

The second bouncer shrugs, “The boss loves to get more press for the club.”

“Yeah fine, head inside, Mr. Drake would not mind, though he isn’t here tonight. You can get a good look around,” he reaches down to speak into his radio, “Letting some press guys in, it’s cool.”

The bouncer then checks each detective over.

They take 10 and get a 14 for spot checks, I did not see that either of you brought any weapons so…

The large bouncer opens the door, “Have a good night gentlemen,” he smiles.

"Cheers," James says, and casually strolls inside.

Once well inside James turns to Dexter.

"Still got it, haha! You do a convincing job there Dex, now lets find us that barmaid or whoever it was who saw him last," James makes his way to the bar.

"Mom!" Sakura exclaims in shock at the drug revelations, "I don't want to hear that you did drugs." she tells her mom shaking her head, in vexation, "What I meant was, have you noticed, people who are different from everyone else? Dad and Koga didn't see it, but this guy, Detective Rose, he had pointed ears and almond eyes. H e over-heard us, and on the way back to my bike fro the hospital, he told me that he was an elf, and about elves and stuff like that."

"I wanted to know if you notice things differently then Dad does. Have you noticed any elves or anything else thats weird since you got your abilities?"

"Wait it was the seventies, and honey, relax. Mom had her wild days too, so relax, it isn't like I still do drugs, I was young, it was cool," she shrugs.

"I wanted to know if you notice things differently then Dad does. Have you noticed any elves or anything else thats weird since you got your abilities?"

"Not really dear, are you sure you are not on drugs? The only elves I see are the ones that come out around Christmas time," she replies.

Once well inside James turns to Dexter.

"Still got it, haha! You do a convincing job there Dex, now lets find us that barmaid or whoever it was who saw him last," James makes his way to the bar.

Dexter and James get inside and find the dance floor to the right is packed and there is a second balcony with more people drinking, socializing, and enjoying themselves. The club is ultra-modern, and music pounds their ears as they approach the massive bar awash with glows from the black lights.

The bartender is a black female with a thin frame and a bald head, she gestures wildly to the two, "What the hell you guys want?!" before she cracks a smile.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Chloe was her name I do believe, now to find her and get the information we need.

James glances at the woman's name tag if she's wearing one, his eyes straining a little in the obscure lighting, and orders a drink.

"Whatcha feel like?" James asks Dexter over the music, "My shout."

Dexter winces at the volume in the club and says to the bartender, "I don't suppose you have Point? No? Leinenkugel? No? How about Molson? Ok, that'll be fine." He turns to James, "Thanks, dude." He turns and takes some shots of the crowd, making sure to include entrances/exits from the room and visible security cameras in his shots. "Great energy in this place. It'll come through in the pictures."

[OOC: Wow. I blink and it's post central
Dexter is looking for anyone who looks extra funky. Like jet-black skin (does that include the bartender by the way, and where do we know her from)? or short, wide people, etc.]

"Whatcha feel like?" James asks Dexter over the music, "My shout."

The bald woman has no nametag and is wearing a thin black tight shirt. Her chest is fairly flat, and she raises a brow at he accent. She speaks with an urban drawl, “Nothing to it,” she gets you the drinks, “if you need anything, call me,” she moves to another customer.

Dexter does not spot anyone out of the ordinary, normal looking crazy human folks dancing away.

Dexter rolls an 11 for his Spot Check. No the Bartender is a female african american.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Ah poopie, forgot to put a leash on the accent, if I start getting nosy it'll just make me easier to remember. Need to be subtle.

The next time the woman has a free moment he tries to get her attention.

"Hey, we're working for 'Sound and Fury' magazine, and we wanted to have Verve as our feature club in our first issue. We're doing a few interviews and were wondering if-" James turns to Dexter, looking as though he's trying to remember a name, "We were told we could interview a woman by the name of Chloe. Would she be available?"

Was that subtle enough? Fingers crossed...

The woman pauses to listen, straining with the music, as she mixes another drink with flair. She rolls her eyes, "Chloe?" she gestures to a cage where an attractive young Hispanic woman with short pink hair gyrates and dances. She is wearing a short skirt, with a thin mesh top over a dark spaghetti string top, with chunky thigh high boots.

The woman shrugs, "Sure, go right ahead," she replies back evenly.
