NerwenGreen: anyways, I kinda want to go back to playing Thomas now.
AgujaCabra: right.
AgujaCabra: om. okay. . sunset?
NerwenGreen: okay
AgujaCabra: lose a blood pt.
NerwenGreen: what time is that?
AgujaCabra: 8:00?
NerwenGreen: so now he's down 2 points I guess
AgujaCabra: ::needs to find this out::
AgujaCabra: yes.
NerwenGreen: okay then
AgujaCabra: tell me what he's up to.
NerwenGreen: he gets up and first thing he does is check the appointment
book ;)
AgujaCabra: he botched ;p
NerwenGreen: he botched looking up something in an appointment book?
AgujaCabra: I was rolling for the # of appointments. There's one again
tonight.
NerwenGreen: botches = an appointment? ;)
NerwenGreen: okay what time ;)
NerwenGreen: and what kind of appointmenmt
AgujaCabra: should I make it important?
AgujaCabra: hm. The type hasn't been specified.
NerwenGreen: hmmm
AgujaCabra: Unless he had to ?
NerwenGreen: someone just wants a physical?
AgujaCabra: Vision problems.
NerwenGreen: okay
NerwenGreen: he digs out vision related medical equipment
NerwenGreen: gets dressed in his doctor outfit
NerwenGreen: and waits for the appointment
AgujaCabra: The appt. is at 9:00 I'll say.
NerwenGreen: okay
NerwenGreen: he checks on some of his plants for a bit then
NerwenGreen: he takes appointments from dusk to midnight
AgujaCabra: And at 9:00 exactly, you can hear heavy footfalls coming towards
the door. Metal keys are rattling in the person's pockets.
NerwenGreen: okay, he opens the door
AgujaCabra: A man with a brown, red, and black feather coat [stylish,
despite the description], dark feather-rimmed sunglasses, high red boots, and
dressed primly in white Egyptian silks, stands outside. He has a wide grin,
and shoulder-length
AgujaCabra: blonde hair.. with red highlights.
NerwenGreen: hmmm
AgujaCabra: "Hello there, good evening.. " He sounds friendly, sticking out
a hand.
NerwenGreen: I smile back and said "Good evening, [guys name]"
NerwenGreen: I shake his hand
AgujaCabra: [guy's name = James]
NerwenGreen: [ok]
NerwenGreen: "Good evening, James. Vision problems appointment?"
AgujaCabra: "Glad to meet you" He laughs, grinning widely.. "Sure, vision
problems.. "
AgujaCabra: "Yes. I'd like to see what you can do for me, doc"
AgujaCabra: [aaah! My psychos!]
NerwenGreen: "Come inside then"
NerwenGreen: I gesture him into the house
AgujaCabra: He kicks the dirt from his boots outside, and steps up into the
house without hesitation... Looking around the room with some interest.
NerwenGreen: "So, tell me about your vision problems."
NerwenGreen: I gesture him towards a seat
AgujaCabra: "So, what do you normally get out here? " He ignores your
question, talking over you a little. "College kids, lovestruck and seeking
some quick fix? "
AgujaCabra: He'll go to sit where you gestured.
NerwenGreen: "I get patients."
AgujaCabra: Nodding, he crosses his legs. "I didn't mean any offense. "
AgujaCabra: "I know it's legit-- "
NerwenGreen: I wait for him to finish speaking
AgujaCabra: [oh. he finished]
NerwenGreen: In that case I just look at him
AgujaCabra: He uncrosses his legs... looking uncomfortable.
NerwenGreen: After a while Thomas says, "Evidently you are not here as a
patient. What brings you to my practice?"
AgujaCabra: "... Oh, I *have* vision problems.. " He frowns a bit, then
breaks into another characteristic smile.. "I heard you had a friend around..
yay high" He holds his hand up in the air. "Grouchy fellow, drives a yellow
truck... "
NerwenGreen: "Would you like me to check your vision?"
AgujaCabra: He sighs dramatically, raising a hand to remove his sunglasses.
. "Sure, kin ya do anything for me, doc? " .. Both of the man's eyes have
been replaced with complex time pieces.. predominantly gold in colour, with
an array of moving
AgujaCabra: gears and parts.... the size of a regular eye, of course.
NerwenGreen: "Interesting." He pauses for a moment to look closely at the
objects. "How did this happen? Can you still see?"
AgujaCabra: "Blind as a bat since a football came and beaned me in the
eyes.. Well, not beaned, and not a football.. " He frowns. " Sure, I can see
now... got a new-fangled
AgujaCabra: computer all hooked up.... all looks a little digital though."
AgujaCabra: "Well... I take what I can get. "
NerwenGreen: "So ... do you consider this to be a problem?"
AgujaCabra: "Oh.... it could use a little fine tuning I guess.... depth
perception is whacked, I'll tell you that.. "
NerwenGreen: "I see. Is this why you were interested in my friend?"
AgujaCabra: "No no no... why, is he a whiz kid? " James crosses his legs
again, sitting back in the chair slightly. "Came to warn him about a couple
things... darn van he's got is a pain to find, I'll tell you.. "
NerwenGreen: "Yes, it is." Thomas smiles slightly.
NerwenGreen: "Please make yourself comfortable. I will bring him here."
AgujaCabra: He nods, relaxing somewhat and slipping his glasses back on.
"Sure.. got all the time in the world"
NerwenGreen: Thomas goes out to the parking lot and does his search pattern.
NerwenGreen: Eventually he runs into the bus
NerwenGreen: And knocks on the side until Ryan wakes up.
NerwenGreen: "Yeah? Oh hi Thomas. What's up?"
NerwenGreen: Thomas says, "I have an unusual patient tonight who also wishes
to speak to you."
NerwenGreen: "Me? Who is it? Why would anyone be looking for me?"
NerwenGreen: Thomas says, "I don't know. However, he has some unusual
artificial vision enhancements that you may be able to adjust for him."
NerwenGreen: Ryan says "oh all right, just a sec"
NerwenGreen: He disappears back into the bus and a few minutes later emerges
with his belt of gadgets.
NerwenGreen: They go back to the house
NerwenGreen: They go inside and Thomas says to James, "This is Ryan."
NerwenGreen: Or rather, "James, this is Ryan."
AgujaCabra: As you come in, the man uncrosses his legs again, pushing hiself
up from the chair to extend a hand.. "Hey, how are you doin' Ryan? I actually
hadn't pegged a name on you... hah. fits. "
NerwenGreen: "Eh? Who are you and why were you lookign for me?"
NerwenGreen: He shakes the man's hand
AgujaCabra: He laughs, loudly, taking the hand back to adjust his glasses. .
"I *heard* you were the ornery sort! Right, well.. I just took it upon myself
to tell you about a few things... You're new in town, right?"
NerwenGreen: "Uhh... I suppose you could say that."
AgujaCabra: "Well, new enough... dates don't much matter... you don't *know*
what the city's like an' all that"
AgujaCabra: "... for mages, I mean"
NerwenGreen: "What are you trying to tell me?"
NerwenGreen: Ryan looks a bit surprised when he hears the word "mage"
NerwenGreen: "I'm not a mage." He says sharplly. "I'm a scientist. There's a
difference."
AgujaCabra: ".... What're you, anyway? Your friend mentioned computers... an
adept? Me, I'm a cultist myself? Figures, eh? " He's smiling.
AgujaCabra: "Oh well... Scientist, then... Ha. All right.. Didn't mean to
step on your toes there"
NerwenGreen: "What are you?"
NerwenGreen: (oh he said cultist nm)
AgujaCabra: [ok]
NerwenGreen: "All right then, what are you trying to tell me?"
AgujaCabra: Another sigh, he takes a step back from Ryan, and sits back in
the chair... "You'd think I'd come out here as MIB.... geez-uuus"
AgujaCabra: "I'm Tellin' you that mages get eaten in this town"
NerwenGreen: "Yes, that thought had crossed my mind."
AgujaCabra: "Plain. Simple. Don't do it."
NerwenGreen: "What do you mean, eaten?"
AgujaCabra: "I mean eaten. There aren't any houses in the city... except
some guys holed up in these woods somewhere... Everybody got eaten."
NerwenGreen: "houses?"
AgujaCabra: "Whatever... Traditions. "
AgujaCabra: [oh bleh.. I did it once for shepard, once for him.. I'm
thinking of House Tremere.. ]
AgujaCabra: [that's why I keep saying house]
NerwenGreen: "Oh, those." He thinks for a moment. [ah]
AgujaCabra: [he'd have said house, though]
NerwenGreen: [ok]
NerwenGreen: "What's eating them? And why are you still here then?"
AgujaCabra: "Because, I'm sharp. " He grins, pushing at the glasses again,
then running his hand back through his hair. "No really. There are some of us
left... I guess he doesn't mess with the guys who could fry HIS butt... Most
of the
AgujaCabra: Traditions are pretty thin, though.. "
NerwenGreen: "He? There is a single person doing all this eating?"
AgujaCabra: "Oh hells bells... I think he used to be a lot more than one
person. . Now I guess it's small time munching. . His PISSED coz the Euthis
got him in a shitload of trouble a while back."
AgujaCabra: [*he's]
NerwenGreen: "Really? Like what?" Ryan has found himself to another seat by
now and is perched on the edge of it, looking at James with great interest.
AgujaCabra: "Oh.... let's just say he ain't working *right* these days." He
makes a 'crazy' motion at his ear... "Pretty ugly now too, I heard." James
removes his glasses, chewing on the end a moment, putting them in his lap.
AgujaCabra: "... What was it. I think he tried to clear them off some
land.... developed an appetite. "
NerwenGreen: "Does he have a name?"
NerwenGreen: "Err"
NerwenGreen: "Clear who off what land?"
AgujaCabra: "Oh. RIGHT! I hadn't said yet.... don't rush me." Smiling, yet
again.. "He said he owned the city awhile ago.. wanted to develop with the
Euthis had, and well.. Think he wanted some sparkly minions too.... That's
just what I gathe
AgujaCabra: r. "
NerwenGreen: "Oh, so there's a logical progression to this story of yours."
Ryan leans back. "Well, go on then, keep rambling until you've got it all
out."
AgujaCabra: " Oh... Name... yeah. Ondriasova... something,... Costi
Ondriasova..... Big guy, ugly face. .. Looks like a collapsed lung"
AgujaCabra: " Hey... " He seems slightly offended, taking in the last
remark.
NerwenGreen: Thomas looks up sharply
NerwenGreen: "Ondriasova?"
AgujaCabra: James puts his glasses back on, and sits back a little. "That's
the name. "
NerwenGreen: "I have heard that name before."
AgujaCabra: He's quiet. Playing with a ring on his finger.
NerwenGreen: After a moment, Ryan clears his throat and says "Well. I'm
interested in the part about him eating the Euthi's."
AgujaCabra: A thin smile.. "Oh, yeah... you can find that in a history book
someplace, for sure."
NerwenGreen: "Uh, that really doesn't sound to me like something that would
be in a history book."
AgujaCabra: "Don't need to be wasting any of you good folk's time tonight."
He touches the side of his glasses, and starts to get up.
AgujaCabra: He looks to Ryan, but doesn't say anything.
NerwenGreen: "Whoa whoa hold on now"
NerwenGreen: "Don't go away yet"
AgujaCabra: "Yea-ah" He holds it out a little. "What kin I do for you... ? I
thought you had places to be. "
NerwenGreen: "Eh? No, 'course not. All the time in the world. Where did you
say this land was located? That the Euthi's had and he wanted?"
AgujaCabra: He sits back down heavily in the chair, making himself
comfortable again, and re-crossing his leg... "We-hull.... What I heard is
that land isn't too far from what you got here... Nothin' special about it I
don't see, but he's a
AgujaCabra: pushy bloke... wanted to press the city out... get some business
flowin' between here and New Orleans.. "
NerwenGreen: Thomas comes over and hands him a glass of water.
AgujaCabra: "Stupid man, I say... couldn't leave things to sit in peace..
not like the guy be-- Oh thank you!" He takes the water gratefully.
NerwenGreen: Thomas nods in acknowledgement, and then goes to another seat.
AgujaCabra: "So.... like I said.... " He frowns a bit.. "What was I saying?
.. "
AgujaCabra: He seems to be mentally reviewing the previous few minutes of
conversation
NerwenGreen: [funny how that works, I'm scrolled up too]
AgujaCabra: Takes a sip of water... "Oh well.... right. So Costi there tried
to get the Euthis to move their ritual-castin' behinds off 'his' land... that
didn't bode too well, you can imagine I am sure...
NerwenGreen: Thomas says, "This Ondriasova. I saw it written recently that
he died in the 1940s."
NerwenGreen: okay thomas doesn't say that
AgujaCabra: Oh right. Except you aren't a *mage* ... scuse me... "
AgujaCabra: [erp. it could have overlapped]
NerwenGreen: Ryan waves impatiently at him to go on.
NerwenGreen: [thomas says that after the last line then ]
AgujaCabra: [okay ^_^ ]
AgujaCabra: He laughs a bit. . "Where'd you hear such a piece of claptrap
mumbo-jumbo as that... ? " He thinks a moment. "Yeah. where'd you hear that?
"
AgujaCabra: "No no my friend... he's alive and kickin' ..... well, not
'kickin'' I guess,.... not ALIVE either... "
AgujaCabra: "well.... "
NerwenGreen: Thomas and Ryan are both looking at him with great interest.
NerwenGreen: But not saying anything, letting him talk.
AgujaCabra: He clears his throat a bit. "Yeah, so... The Euthis get pissed,
understandable, kill a load of Costi's people.. whatever, I think they burned
his stuff.... smashed it up, made it de-cay.. whatever they do. . And THEN,
if that
AgujaCabra: weren't enough... they got him closer to dead than He'd be
naturallty.... unnaturally, yeah.... So he went 'goodbye' for a good number
of years... plum vanished, and somebody else took over... But he wasn't
dead...no, no siree.. "
AgujaCabra: ".... Hell, am I confusing you folks? I've got myself a bit
turned around here.. "
NerwenGreen: [write an "end" when you're done ;)]
AgujaCabra: [uh... end... but if somebody doesn't talk, he'll keep going]
NerwenGreen: [okay]
NerwenGreen: [lemme write soething them]
AgujaCabra: [heheh... he's chatty... god... ]
NerwenGreen: "By all means, please continue." Says Thomas.
NerwenGreen: [andrew wants back in]
OnlineHost: *** You are in "midsomer". ***
OnlineHost: Now you can chat privately with AOL and Internet users.
Wag2004: there
Wag2004: how many years have i missed?
NerwenGreen: hi
NerwenGreen: hehe
Wag2004: hi
NerwenGreen: a whole ton of important info
Wag2004: what? the city is gone again?
NerwenGreen: no, just parts of it
NerwenGreen: the explosions were quite spectacular
AgujaCabra: "All right... so, you got your big-wig missing in action... AWOL
, actually, from what we see later. HA!. .. The city goes straight to hell
for a few years; fires; riots; loads of construction though... guess him
missing was a good
NerwenGreen: [wow. I'm psychic. there are explosions ;)]
Wag2004: i killed a city once
AgujaCabra: thing.... " He grins a bit wider, leaning back in the chair and
playing with his rings again... "Comes back later.. That's the ugly as a mud
fence business, or what'd I say before? Collapsed lung. Right.... Starts
eating mages..
AgujaCabra: Maybe they starved him good, wherever they kept him..... Anyway.
Yeah.... Yummm.. " He holds that out a bit, grinning at you two.
AgujaCabra: "So..... you mind my rambling there, Ryan... ? I can get out of
your hair whenever.. "
NerwenGreen: "Nope, don't mind a bit. I'm all ears here."
Wag2004: arrg... i'll be kicked off the comp sooner or later now... =(
NerwenGreen: He has surreptitiously turned ona tape recorder
NerwenGreen: somewhere in that lengthy ramble ;)
NerwenGreen: [why? your mom again?]
Wag2004: [yep]
AgujaCabra: He frowns slightly, chuckling... "Thing is, I'm probably about
done with that business.... Hoo... I just came out here to tell you to keep
clear of the bloke. Didn't mean to chew your ear off like this."
Wag2004: [crazy people... want sleep but love to put my life where it keeps
them up]
NerwenGreen: "Well, I suppose I could try to stay out of his path, if you
tell me where he hangs out."
AgujaCabra: "Ah... Right, right, RIGHT. I was going to mention that
sometime... He's an Eidson chap... University, hangs out with the freshmen
girls if you get my drift..... " A pause. "All right... not the girls part.
Doubt he even likes
AgujaCabra: girls much with the anatomy how it is... geez... Lemmie tell
you somethin' else... Stay the HELL away from those other fanged folks....
the ones who did that to him.... shit... "
AgujaCabra: "I
AgujaCabra: [oops]
NerwenGreen: "Who did what to whom again?"
AgujaCabra: "I'm a little lacking in the vision department... but that's
better than what they---- hunh? Who? Right... Aaston's fellows... or
maybe.... shit, maybe that guy who lives out the edge of the forest.. " He
looks at you.. "Uh, other
AgujaCabra: side, not here.... Don't know his name, I'm afraid."
AgujaCabra: [Aashton's, it should be]
NerwenGreen: "Who is Aashton?"
NerwenGreen: (that was thomas)
AgujaCabra: "Lady.... weird skin, lives in the big city someplace... Don't
go tellin' anyone I know her name, right? I see a lot of stuff around... but
they don't need to know I see... "
NerwenGreen: Ryan says "Aashton is a fanged guy who did something to an
Eidson chap, not that I know what that is either, who used to be in control
of this city back in the 40s?"
AgujaCabra: [whoops]
AgujaCabra: "No no no nono ..... " Another bellowing laugh, he's enjoying
this. "Aashton ever hear you calling her a chap, she'd probably pull a Costi
on you right off" a bit more chuckling... "an' Eidson's the college... you
know, over on
AgujaCabra: Dean rd.... big sprawling thing, got a lot of kiddies wanderin'
about. Ondriasova ... remember that, right? He's the guy who got
AgujaCabra: his arse in trouble back in the 40s... "
NerwenGreen: "Yes yes, that part I have straight"
NerwenGreen: "So you're saying he's a student or professor or what?"
AgujaCabra: "Nah.. Well the kids would drop straight out of that class! I
bet you anything.... Ha! No, they wouldn't be staring at that mug for 50 min
straight without some serious uh... seat-sickness."
AgujaCabra: "He just hangs around there... got some research going or
something I figure, with uh... Ricberct I guess. "
NerwenGreen: "Cyperion Ricberct?" Thomas says.
AgujaCabra: "Yeah! " He sits forward in the seat slightly, messing with the
end of his glasses.. "that's the chap. .. you know him? "
NerwenGreen: "Yes, I met him once about 12 years ago."
NerwenGreen: "Have had no reason to speak to him since then however."
NerwenGreen: [this is just waay cool :) real-life roleplaying I can never
remember any of the details. But I'm doing great if I can read it in print ;)
]
Wag2004: [arg.... well i'm heading off so as to avoid further harasmment
from the partially awake one, tomorow or next thurs?]
AgujaCabra: "Ah... Well, Cyp's an all right bloke all things considered....
He went a little 'spiritual' in the 90s I think" Here he makes an exasperated
hand gesture, "I can't tell you what 'that's' about.. . But anyway, he and
Costi... you'll
Wag2004: [not tomorow, i've got way too much to get done tomorow
AgujaCabra: see 'im around together... Won't even try to explain that. "
AgujaCabra: [hm.... I can play either time.. I guess not tomorrow, since
you're busy?]
Wag2004: [i'll be dead by the end of the day if i get what i need to done]
Wag2004: [which i wont get it all done]
NerwenGreen: [when can you play next then?]
Wag2004: thurs probly
NerwenGreen: ok
AgujaCabra: [all right... we might be moving this to saturday in general,
but if people want to play thurs.. I maybe can]
Wag2004: if its a problem then sat'd be ok,
AgujaCabra: [okay]
AgujaCabra: [good luck with your stuff]
Wag2004: hmm, eithers, cya all later, thanks
Wag2004: gnight
NerwenGreen: good night
AgujaCabra: ['night]
NerwenGreen: guess he'll have to see it in the log later
AgujaCabra: [yep... hm.... are we continuing, or are you sick of this crazy
man?]
NerwenGreen: oh, I'm paying attention ;)
NerwenGreen: this stuff looks like it's actually relevant to all the other
stuff that we've done so far
AgujaCabra: heheh....
NerwenGreen: okay lemme scroll up
NerwenGreen: got distracted for a sec
NerwenGreen: okay
NerwenGreen: "How very interesting." Says Thomas.
NerwenGreen: [ah, andrew left]
AgujaCabra: "Yeah, yeah.. I *thought* so myself... Now, I don't figure Cyp's
got a taste for us wizarding folk.... so don't worry a bit around him. Like I
said, he seems all right. "
NerwenGreen: "That is good to know."
NerwenGreen: (thomas)
AgujaCabra: James shifts a little in the chair, taking another sip of water.
NerwenGreen: Ryan speaks up again, and says
NerwenGreen: "Okay, so let me see if I have the whole thing straight. Some
guy named Ondriasova used to run the city, then he messed with some Euthi's
back in the 40's, then they killed him and all his friends, and then he turns
out to not actua
NerwenGreen: "to not actually be dead after all, and now he's running around
as a friend of a prof at the college?"
AgujaCabra: He thinks a moment... "Just about sums it up there... couldn't
have said it better myself. . Except the Euthis [They don't like bein' called
Euthis, by the way] didn't do that by themselves... they got some alliance
with the new
AgujaCabra: fangs moving in-- That's where Aashton is. . She's why he looks
like a blimin'... uh... whatever it was, freak o' the earth."
AgujaCabra: He nods. "That's right."
NerwenGreen: "Okay then." Ryan thinks for a moment then adds, "so he eats
the Euthis and every other mage he runs across? What for? Revenge from the
40s?"
AgujaCabra: He laughs a bit. "Yeah. I guess it would boil down to revenge,
if I thought HE thought that way these days... I
AgujaCabra: ain't exactly sure on that one..... Maybe. . You got to
understand, he lost a lot more than face in the 40s.... the entire city
switched sides."
NerwenGreen: "Eh?" says Ryan. Thomas at the same time says "That comment
actually fits in with some of what I know."
AgujaCabra: He nods, matter-of-factly. "Good. Glad to see you've got
somethin' on your shoulders. "
NerwenGreen: Thomas raises his eyebrows at him and leans back, not saying
anything to that. Then Ryan says, "So what's your angle in all this? How do
you know all this stuff?"
AgujaCabra: He cocks a crooked smile, taking another sip of the water.. "Oh,
hey... I stick around the right places, and the wrong places... pick up on
what I can... Some fangs are damn talkative, you know that? You just sit back
and listen a
AgujaCabra: while, and the whole dang society comes pourin' out at your
feet... "
AgujaCabra: "As for angle.... Hell, I just like hearing myself talk" He
laughs a bit at that.
NerwenGreen: "Well, where do you hang out? I wouldn't mind hearing more
about this first-hand myself."
AgujaCabra: "Oh.... it's old news by now. Sorry about that one, chum... I
hear things 'coz I've been here a while... had time to sort out what's real,
what isn't. Anyway, I *lived* most of it first hand-- that helps. You can't
have a city seige
AgujaCabra: without some of us magicks knowing. "
NerwenGreen: "I suppose that makes sense."
NerwenGreen: "So... what's the story about today? Who's in charge and what
are they doing?" Ryan asks, with a bit of a grin.
AgujaCabra: [aaaah... how long do you want this man to chatter?]
NerwenGreen: [oh, you want him to go away? he seems to have lot s of info to
pump out of him tho ;) ]
AgujaCabra: He does seem to be slightly restless, though still in good
humor. "Oh, today... well... what side of the field are we looking at? Haite
moved in.. uh... late 40s? He's kept things dull dull, and quiet... But I
think Aashton's still
AgujaCabra: got the other side-- that's one's a bit harder to tell.... They
don't advertise so much.... I think they had some fallout in the 50s,
somethin' might have changed hands then.. "
AgujaCabra: "Uh... 'course there's Shepard, but he's always been around"
NerwenGreen: Thomas speaks up at the mention of Shepard. "I would be
interested to know more about Shepard."
AgujaCabra: "Oh hell... not much to say about him, I gather... Quiet sort,
saved Haite's arse when he first moved in... that's why he's still a
head-dog, as it were. . Losin' his people was a blow , I'm sure-- and if
Haite weren't running
AgujaCabra: things, he'd probably be lookin' for a job.... Anyway. It's his
city. That's what I've picked up... "
NerwenGreen: "I see. What people did he lose?" (Thomas again.)
AgujaCabra: "Oh, whatcha' ma' callit.... his clan, I think is what they say.
He's leader of nothing and no one... far as anyone can tell."
NerwenGreen: "Really. There are no others of his clan left in this town?"
AgujaCabra: "None that talk up, anyway... Well, there might be one or two...
you know how they get: edgy, don't like the politics side of things... "
NerwenGreen: "Yes, I can understand that" Thomas says wryly.
AgujaCabra: He shrugs a bit. "I don't know... maybe there's some runnin'
about. Usually I jest hear gossip ... none too kindly, either."
NerwenGreen: "Would you like some more water?"
NerwenGreen: Thomas gets up and starts heading for the kitchen.
AgujaCabra: "Hey... I'm not a uh, vampiro, or anything like that so... " He
stops. "Oh yes, please"
NerwenGreen: Thomas chuckles a little and says "I also have some salad if
you are hungry."
AgujaCabra: "Oh thank you, no... the water's fine... I can't talk and chew
at the same time-- rude, and all that. "
NerwenGreen: "Very good point." Thomas hands him another glass of water.
AgujaCabra: "Thank you, again. " He lifts the glass slightly in salut,
taking a sip.
NerwenGreen: Thomas goes back to his seat and settles down again.
NerwenGreen: Ryan pipes up "I do have another question for you, don't know
if you'd know or not."
AgujaCabra: "Shoot." He says, amicably.
NerwenGreen: "I just spent some time looking at some haunted houses on
Guillame. Would you know anything about what goes on over there?"
AgujaCabra: "The island? Shoot... that isn't haunted. At least, I've never
seen much over there... I guess it'd be a good spot. After all, a bunch of
people popped up missing over there a while back... Uh... You know, that's
somethin' I should
AgujaCabra: check out one of these days..... hm. Thanks for bringin' it up!
I've got a trip in mind.. "
NerwenGreen: "What kind of trip? I have a trip in mind back there too."
AgujaCabra: "Just an idea... didn't think I'd find anything, really.... But
I'd like to set those rumours straight" A sly grin. "I've heard it's
haunted-- just not by anyone 'in the know'-- guess I should figure out what's
what"
NerwenGreen: "Well, I found some interesting things over there that I'm
planning to go check out again a bit later."
AgujaCabra: "Oh really... ? " He leans forward slightly. . "What interesting
things might those be?
AgujaCabra: "
NerwenGreen: Ryan cracks a grin and says "Well, I suppose you could come
along and look for yourself with me when I go over there next."
AgujaCabra: "Ha! Well, that's hardly something I can pass up now.... New kid
on the block knowing something *I* don't... " Chuckling a bit, he sips at the
water again.. "Sure you don't mind if I tag along? "
NerwenGreen: "Nah, I'm sure we'll get along fine." Ryan says dismissively.
NerwenGreen: "I'd just have to get ahold of another friend that I met
recently though, he's a necromancer and some of the stuff I found would be
really interesting to him."
AgujaCabra: Arching an eyebrow slightly, he shrugs. "Well fine then, I'd
like to check it out... don't have anything much planned that I can't skip
over-- Who's this friend? "
NerwenGreen: "Uh, name of Devin. He's a student at that university. I
actually don't have any clue how to get ahold of him, now that I think about
it. Guess I'll have to wait until he wants to find me again."
AgujaCabra: "Oh yeah? Devin.... Devin Shall, right? I've been meanin' to
talk to him.. he's got a place over on Wake... damn near slipped my mind
completely.. "
AgujaCabra: "Right... if he's at the University, he outta be damn careful. "
NerwenGreen: "Really? Well it's nice to know you know where he is because I
never did get around to taking down his contact info."
AgujaCabra: "I got a lot of useless stuff floating around up here" He taps
the side of his head.. "I'd empty it out sometime, but it does come in
handy.. "
NerwenGreen: "So how long have you been around Midsomer?"
AgujaCabra: "Oh... good number of years." James sits back in the chair some,
looking over the two of you.
NerwenGreen: I have an image of the three of them sitting together in the
room, comfortably relaxed with each other.
AgujaCabra: that'd be about right on his part.
NerwenGreen: okay
NerwenGreen: they're pretty relaxed too, my char's are
NerwenGreen: they're out of things to say, too. ;)
AgujaCabra: hehe... understood. Is there a bit of silence?
NerwenGreen: Yeah, there'd be a lull in the conversation I guess
AgujaCabra: James fishes in his coat pocket for a business card, leaning
forward a bit to hand it towards Ryan.. "Well hey, you ever decide to give
that island a check-out, you give me a call..... right? "
NerwenGreen: Ryan accepts the card and says "sure thing"
AgujaCabra: "Swell" He gets up, looking supremely pleased... glancing around
for a place to set his water.
NerwenGreen: Thomas comes over and takes the glasses
NerwenGreen: and moves them to the kitchen
NerwenGreen: then comes back to see him to the door
NerwenGreen: "It has certainly been an interesting experience meeting you,
James."
AgujaCabra: "Ah. Thank you." He nods politely to Thomas, wiping his hands on
the side of his coat and walking towards the door.
NerwenGreen: Ryan stands up and moves towards the door too.
AgujaCabra: "Yes, yes.... It's been a real pleasure." He waves to both of
them.
NerwenGreen: Thomas opens the door and they all go outside
NerwenGreen: pleasantries ensue
AgujaCabra: hehe... sure. He says his goodbyes, and starts to walk off
deeper into the woods.
