The Diogenes Club {Cthulhu by Gaslight d20}

[Douane]

Still looking around in wonder at those who flinched or took cover when the young man burst in, the Count blames this behaviour on the lack of actual war experience and the general decline of the duelling culture.

"What kind of foolery was this?" he asks loudly, though addressing noone in particular.

The Count then makes his way towards the body on the floor, only to stop and regard the man rushing past him.

Rather curious accent. Say, wasn't that ...

Tasha shakes her head.

"It doesn't look very valuable. I'd say the best bet would be to check out the address. I don't think our normal people will give much if anything for it."

She looks around casually.

"Shall we go?"

Well, in that case, let's go see if someone is willing to pay for it. Oh, before we do so, does the box open? Is there anything inside of it?

[OOC : I'm moving house this weekend, so I'll be unable to post for a few days, feel free to use Angus any way you like. He'll be busy interrogating the assassin, and looking for clues as to what/why (how is pretty obvious even to the untrained eye )]

 

[Sherlock]

Well, in that case, let's go see if someone is willing to pay for it. Oh, before we do so, does the box open? Is there anything inside of it?

Tasha looks over the box and fiddles with it. There are no catches or hidges that you can find. No keyholes either. She cannot see anyway to open it.

The Diogenes Club

Angus takes the gun from the floor and then stands the young man up.

Dr. Marley steps out of the room and goes to see about getting a hansom cab for Angus and the young man.

Dr. Schiff rushes over to check Dr. Galvan. As he does, Dr. Galvan sits up coughing and holding his chest near his heart. "Oh my chest!" he says. Dr. Schiff opens Dr. Galvan's shirt to reveal a reddish bruise over his heart. Glavan pulls a sliver cigarette holder out of his coat pocket. It looks to have taken the brunt of the shot. "I am all right gentleman." he says.

Tasha Velmont : Cat Burglar

Well, in that case, let's go see if someone is willing to pay for it. Oh, before we do so, does the box open? Is there anything inside of it?

Tasha fiddles with the box for a moment. Then she looks up at Dobber and shakes her head.

"I cannot find any way to open it. Could just be a pretty box. But then again..."

She gets a far off distant look.

"I guess we should get going?"

She wraps the box back up in the package and is ready to go.

 

[yangnome]

"well, we're off then my dear." Dobber takes Tasha's arm and begins to stroll towards the Diogenes Club.

 

[Sherlock]

The club is far enough to warrent a cab. So Dobber and Tasha take a short cab ride to north central london and the Diogenes Club.

As you reach it, a worried and excited man in a brown suit is trying to hail a cab. Seeing you exit, he rushes over to talk to the driver. From his accent you can tell he is an american.

 

[Tonyfr]

Dr. Marley out of breath from the short sprint, "Please we need to take a gentleman and a boy to the police station! The boy shot a man in the club! Wait and I will go and tell them you are waiting." Dr. Marley rushes to the club to let them know that the cab is ready. He is surprised to see Galvan standing and talking.

Marley approaches Angus to let him know that the cab is waiting. "The cab is waiting for you. What happened?"

 

[yangnome]

With all the commotion around the entrance of the club, Dobber tries to guide Tasha into the club without anyone noticing. He'll try to blend into the crowd through all the commotion and enter. If he is challenged by anyone on his way in, he'll show the invite, being careful to cover up the blood stain.
