Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 1 (New York City)

[Maerdwyn]

"Very well. I will go and purchase the knife. I will go in alone - it would not make sense for Charles to be with me , but I want others nearby, and to come in to get me if I do not come out within just a few minutes. Masbut?"


ooc: Masbut ("mahss-BOOT") = is that good?

 

[Ashy]

Charles listens to Miriam, nodding and watching her as if he is taking mental notes. He then looks to Jibril and frowns somewhat. "I don't think you should go at all, my friend. You may already be suspect in their eyes. Someone else should go in, say nothing about Jackson, buy the damned thing and then bring it back to Miriam..." He seems more forced and stern on this point than any of you have ever seen him.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril looks at the man a moment. "That makes sense, too. My going in would nt expose any additional people to risk, but sending one of the others, without a connection to Jackson would be better.

One complication - Poole is expecting to see the knife when he visits the house. It may be used as the basis of search warrant - should it be removed before that occurs?"

 

[Ashy]

"Ah!", Charles exclaims - "a very good point indeed!" He nods quickly, "in that case, I say we leave it be, for now..."

 

[Vendetta]

"That depends on how much you trust Lt. Poole. I don't know how closely you've worked with him. A warrent is good in that, with the police involved, it might take any heat off of our own investigation... but, at the same time, could get us in trouble should the police feel like we are intruding on thier turf. But then, that's where I come in. Since I've got my liscense, I've got a reason to be 'there', where ever that may be. Either way, I can make the purchase of the knife should the time come for that... though... Some one will have to put out the money. I'm not getting paid so I can't afford expenses." Jack says with a surprising amount of sobriety.

 

[yangnome]

"I don't think money will be an issue, however, I do think it would be foolhardy to send Jibril back to get the knife, especially after the stunt he pulled. I doubt there is any question in their ind to the fact that you suspect them. That implicates Charles along with jibril and myself if they spotted me getting into or out of the cab with you."

 

[Vendetta]

"I'm not worried. If we need back up, perhaps our British friend, here, could go instead. Though, I'm not sure of which knife I'd be looking for. Do we have a picture?" Jack replies

Charles nods at Father O'Malley's words and then replies to Jack. "I have little doubt between our descriptions and a sketch of the knife that Jibril could provide, that we could lead you to get the correct knife..." He looks over his spectacles at Jibril for confirmation of this suggestion.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

"I'm not worried. If we need back up, perhaps our British friend, here, could go instead. Though, I'm not sure of which knife I'd be looking for. Do we have a picture?" Jack replies

"I could go. They haven't seen me before, so they won't be as suspicious as if our friend Jibril here showed up again, and I would recognize the style of knife easily." William looks over at the others who were there in the hotel room. "Yes, I'll do it."

 

[deadestdai]

Uly's pain meds had kicked in whilst all this banter was going on and he awoke with a start, hoping he had not snored or some such. Pfah, meh.... Ahem! The time difference must've gotten to me. Forgive me will you? Now, what have I missed out on?
