Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

[Yellow Sign]

Thomas and Father Joe arrive at Ryon's and quickly find the others sitting about a table in the back drinking coffee. It is good to sit and take a breather. Food is quickly ordered for Thomas and the Father and you begin to tell each other about your day and discoveries.

As Thomas and Father Joe enter the restaurant, Carter stand and waves them over to the table. After they've had a chance to order and catch their breath Carter looks around the restaurant to make sure there are no obvious evesdroppers. "I'm relieved to see you," he says, casting a sideways glance at Hamish. "But I think we should get right down to business." With that, he takes out the notes he recieved from Jonah Kensington and shows them to the two new arrivals.

As both men examine the notes Carter takes another sip of his coffee and says "As you can see, the notes show that Elias discovered something that involves the Bloody Tongue, possibly on a global scale. And what he discovered drove him mad. It seems we've stumbled onto something big here gents."

"Haha, like savin' the world stuff? 'Ats better left for story books I says. We's couldn't possibly be inta something that big," Hamish says, a look of worry crossing his face, "I mean, fair enuff. A mate gets hacked up so's we go lookin' about to bust a few heads in exchange, but don't say we gotta save the world, we're all regular Joes. How could we pull sometin' like dat off?"

"Me bro'ter be right. I think that this is a bit big for us. I think that we should just take this one step at a time, and not look at as world wide, more as a trail that is really long. Well *shorty looks at his watch* we almost ready for a bit of B&E action?" Shorty says looking aroud for eve's dropers as well.

 

[VorpalBunny]

"I hope you and your brother are right, Hamish. It seems Elias' last telegram to Jonah insuinated something else, but it very well may have been the 'stress' he seemed to be under."

Carter gets up from the table, puts on his coat and takes a last swig of coffee from his mug. "Well, I'm as ready as I'm going to be. Shorty's right - it's time for a look-see at the Ju-Ju House."

[OOC: What time do you gentlemen wish to be at The Ju Ju House ? Just tell me and we will fast forward to that point.]

[OOC: Wasn't it earlier? I think we said 10PM assuming the store closed around eight. But 10 suites me fine... ]

January 16th, 1926 - 10:03 PM

You arrive at the short alley that leads to the 20-foot-square courtyard that fronts the Ju Ju House around ten-o-clock. A single dirty light blub illuminates the court from a lamp post near the alleyway. From the many windows that overlook the court, lights can be seen but most seem to be covered. The slumped forms of three winos lay sprawled in corners of the court. They seem to be asleep.

 

[Shapermc]

"OK boys and Padre, this is the part where you cover us from sight, and let us know if trouble be a commin'. We will let you know when we get in."

After Shorty and his brother have left Shorty Whispers to his brother, "Hamish, we need to get rid of thems bums. I don't want to tell them to just flat out buggeroff, but I dont want them here, you know what I mean..."
