Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

[VorpalBunny]

Shorty reports to the others about the situation and asks what their opinion is.

Carter listens to Shorty describe the situation and scratches his head. "I'm not as experienced as you in these matters, but it seems that the back door might be the best option."

"Can you or Hamish pick the lock?"

Shorty directs everyone to get into a huddle and then explains his plan.

"Ok we post a rotating guard to stand in viewing area of the Ju Ju shop. When it is closed and the last Voodoo man is gone we wait about 30 min then Me and Hamish will break into the rear entrance for the vacant building, see. Then when we are in We will signal you all to come in. If we work efficient and fast we will come up with some clues hopefully." With that Shrty assigns the watch rotation and then takes his brother off to the side.

"Bro'ter, now I trust you the most, see. I want you watching everyones back. Once we get into the Ju Ju shop you keep a damn good eye on the vacant store Ok? I trust that you can defend it properly right? If you need take anything that I got's that you think will help (this is a referance to the post that I made for Shortys equiptment over in the Rouges gallery) ok? We don't need to get into any trouble with the police so make sure that our prints aren't on nothin we touch when we open the locks, see?"

OOC: Just now waiting for night time then we will act on the plan.

OOC: It is about 10:00 am in the morning. Tell me what you all are going to do for the rest of the day.

Shorty directs everyone to get into a huddle and then explains his plan...

"Sounds like a good plan, except I think we should be careful where we set up our reconaissance. If we can see the shop, people entering, or already in the shop can see us. We don't want to draw too much attention to ouselves - remember the neighborhood we are in. A bunch of caucasian folks standing on a street or in a shop for eight hours is bound to arouse suspicion, if not open violence."

"I suggest we meet back here late tonight. [OOC: Are the store's hours posted? I'm assuming the place closes around 8 PM... ] Say around 11PM? There's some more research I want to do and that should give me ample time to do it."

Shorty, after looking at his nice new pocket watch, realised that it was much earlier than he thought. "Let's stop by and give Emerson Imports a visit. They gave me Bro'ter here the cold shoulder on the phone, so I thinks that we need to teach them some manners - if nothing else. We will come back here about 30 min. after they close. You do your research, me and me brother will check them out. Who else is comming with us?"

As you look about you do notice that you are the only white people around in this back ally harlem courtyard. Upon leaving the shop, Professor Carter noticed the store hours, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

[OOC: I need to make something clear that I have messed up on. The Ju Ju House and Emerson Imports are one in the same. While the Ju Ju House sales African Bric-a-Brac, Emerson Imports works out of the Ju Ju House. So When Hammish called Emerson Imports last night he was calling the Ju Ju House. A small sign out side the store states that the Ju Ju House is the New York distributor for Emerson Imports. Sorry for the mix up. In truth, Emerson Imports and the Ju Ju House are seperate places but I have merged them for the purposes of the streamllining the game.]

"My research is not all that important - unless someone has a better plan, we can meet somewhere (Mr. Anderson's restaurant?) and be back here for 7PM. The sun should have set by then."

 

[Shapermc]

"Well hmmmm. Ok well then there is only one other thing I can think of in this part of the world. We can either go have some "shanghi fun" over at the Stumbling Tiger Bar on 10 Lantern Street. We could also go to the harbor master and see if he recognises this ship in the picture. See if we could get a sail plan even. Other than that. . . I'm out of Ideas, see."

Thomas nods and says, "The bar sounds like a fine option to me. I wouldn't mind a drink."
