Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Vendetta]

"A couple of murders. Nov. 24, 1924 you investigated a murder in the railyard behind King's Cross Station. A man about 30 years old, part of what the tabloids were calling a series of Egyption Murders. Does it ring a bell?" Jack says, still trying to get a feel for the kind of man he is.

 

[Gomez]

"Yes, but what interest do you have in the case?" says the inspector.

 

[Vendetta]

"Chance, Jack Chance." Jack repeats himself cordially, wondering if perhaps the inspector had simply not caught his rather easy to remember name or if he'd already been triggered by the mention of one of the many "egyptian murders" that had been plaguing these parts in recent years and wanted to make special note of his name. "I was wondering if you might be able to describe the condition of the body when it was found?"

*Miriam sighs mentally and writes down the Pranga and the tribes it is associated with. She also notes which items are on loan from the Penhew Foundation before turning back to Charles.*

"Well, shall you select another exhibit for us to view before we return to the hotel? Investigation or not, I doubt I will have another chance to get to London, so I might as well enjoy the sights!" Miriam says practically. She'll look around the museum with the others, unless they object, for another couple of hours before returning to the hotel.

Charles leads them onward through some of the more modern exhibits, thinking that perhaps a change of pace and scenery would do their frazzled minds good.

"The condition of the body?" says the Inspector. "He had been beating severely and then stabbed through the heart. You didn't say what business this is of yours. Are you a reporter?"

British Museum

The following couple of hours is spent touring the museum. It is indeed a good distraction from the events of the past couple of weeks. Charles, Miriam, and Jibirl enjoy their time spent wondering through the great museum.

"Was the body mutilated in any way Inspector? Did it have any symbols carved into it?

New Scotland Yard

Inspector Barrington looks at the catholic priest with a puzzled look. "Now I cannot just discuss a criminal case with every Tom, Dick, and Harry that comes off the street. Now unless you tell me what your interests are in this case, I will have to ask you to leave."

 

[yangnome]

"I apologize Inspector, and I understand that you cannot discuss the case with just anybody. We are over here from America, trying to investigate the murder of a close friend, Jackson Elias. Jackson had been investigating some cult or something and we have reason to believe that the murders may be related to his investigations in some way."

OOC: Any physical reaction from him at all when I mentioned the symbols?
