Can I get anything more on that "Tries to be her father" thing? If they look similar then that might even suggest they are relations.

It looks as though someone went to a lot of trouble to conceal anything relating to Jennifer or her roommate. You find a few photos right off the bat, including some rather risque stuff with Jennifer's boyfriend, the mafia kid.
You also find some class notes about modern awakened religion in the 6th world.
You find the a tag that matches a tear pattern from the Malak flier. LTG's check out.
You find a moleskin notebook, where she kept some of her personal thoughts written down. Skimming it you find that it was a log of her experiences with the youth-group, further examination shows that the group often made charitable trips into the Barrens and Puyallup to minister to the homeless and hopeless, dispensing food, clothes, and first aid.
some of the later entries detail how she is being drawn deeper into the group, going to the chapter house in the Barrens, how there they are taught the lessons of Malak.
She also mentions several traitorous members that she hasn't seen around the school anymore, her suspicions that the members of the inner circle dealt with them harshly.

Etiquette: 5, 4, 8, 3.

Darkest Angel, give me asscensing tests.

Right off you realise that the sprit has been here, recently. Unfortunately the living occupants for this dorm have been gone quite some time. You do notice something extremely odd though.
There should be something of them left, but there isn't. As though someone of at least your calibre of magic (neither resident is active from the info you have) has gone through this place with a fine astral comb and wiped it clean.

Erm. I'm confused. Isn't tom still dealing with Jonus? I'm gonna wrap-up that meeting just now...

D'oh. I'll fix.

In the roomates side of the room, you find a dainty chain, very fine and almost invisible to normal vision against the comercial no-frills carpeting, there is a small white pearl teardrop. This piece has significant value to the Delia some how, the spirit you saw earlier has been to see this piece from time to time.

Open stealth test: 15,2,2

Darkest Angel, he didn't seem to take note.


Everyone, I have a family emergency out of town, I won't be posting for at least a day, maybe two.

Dark Angel... pssst, not messy probably before I tossed the place?

Probably, but do I know that? Was I there?

The room was clean when you entered toturi

I'm going to need to review the IC thread, but before my being swamped I hadn't noticed a response to my last post. Had just headed out for that walk with the Cheif.

And I'm still waiting at the office. Man, this blows; while you guys get to do all this role-playing, I used up half a day with a few dice rolls. Wake me when it's time for some role-playing.

Dark Angel, I'll ask permission to stay on your behalf. Gil had witnessed Nat's attempt to persuade earlier, so he knows she's not so good at people skills.

toturi
Give me a negotiation test.

Defaulting to Etiquette:

4, 2, 9, 14.

Nat's people skills might not be that great, but she is also upset about Delia being dead, and she's somewhat anxious about Jenna. You should be able to pick up that she's not doing too well at keeping her emotions out of the case.

Darkest Angel
I expected no less with your totem choice. This is meant to be an emotional chapter for you; for everyone really, should they choose to delve in.

Toturi
I'll post Otto's response when I get home tonight, (going bowling with my wife right after work) I want to look up guidelines on bribery and paying contacts, etc.

Digital Heroin
I have a timed event that is going to be happening soon, and I'm trying to be careful of doling out info from contacts too soon, etc. So please bear with me with the Chief (gotta find a name for him soon, this ain't Get Smart).

Panzergeist
I'm a touch lost on game time for you. Your actions int he matrix have placed you at around 7 or 8 pm, on the first in game night since receiving the job, that tracking with your estimates?

Lilt
Haven't fogotten about you, but I need my notes from home to further your plot line along.

All
So far I'm very happy with how things are turning out.
Very soon you should all be able to in cahracter compare notes on your findings.

No, I made two searches. A 5 hour matrix search on O'Malley, and a 4-hour serach of his journal for mentions of Jenna. That puts me at just past midnight.

Okay, gotcha.

I know I could be wrong, but I am assuming the necklace is the spirit's chain...

You ain't wrong on that, but you'll need to edit something else. check the earlier posted site for the map, these are sliding doors, not swinging ones, otherwise you're okay.

I need to know how long you spend waiting on Delia to show up and if you are astrally perceiving for that time.

As long as it takes, perceiving the whole time.

Can my low light pierce the darkened room?

Attempts to pick up Nat's scent (Improve Scent)

You want me to roll?

Heh my last post sounds like something for the famous last words thread

Folks, if you et a chance, please post some feedback, what do you think so far?

So-far it's good. It looks like I made the wrong choice of where to be as-far-as doing stuff is concerned but I'm not overly bothered. I'll keep checking-up on what the others are doing, and posibly have that meeting 'tomorrow morning' at some point, but I have exams (finals) this month so the fewer distractions I have the better.

OK, the pace is alright given that we're all doing our own thing, mostly. That was why I suggested going after leads in groups, things would have a faster pace, instead of the multi tasking you got to keep in your head.

It's excellent stuff so far, very edgy.

That's cool Lilt, take the time you need of course. I can write around you for a bit if you like.

And yes toturi, I would have preferred that, but I'm not the one writing the story here, I just decide what foot everyone else uses when they step off the curb.
Ya know, I really need to watch what music I listen to when devising my plots, todays song list includes:
Cry little sister, Me and my baretta, Angry Johnny, More human than human, Leather, Du Hast, Ball Room Blitz and Amish Paradise

Damn you and your action replay aparition! You leave me no choice If I win the 50/50 odds remember it is you who gave the Sorceress a bound force 6 spirit!

Settle down there Darkest. You'll know when combat is going to take place.

Only joking, I'm not after combat anyway, just a bit p-oed I couldn't get the spirit out of it's perpetual loop. It's just I'm left with only one way to do that now... Binding it.

Magic Knowledge skill test: 9, 9, 5, 2, 3, 4.

Trying to find out significance of Gil's otherworldly experience.

Toturi, does Gil have astral perception?
(I don't have your info in front of me at werk)

Darkest Angel, what perception mode are you in?

Digital Heroin, feel free to call the kid any timenow, you do have an LTG for him.

Still astral.

Give me an astral perception test.

Results of your scan:
These aren't your simple ghosts, if there is such a thing, each is the product of extreme violence done to someone by someone they implicitly trust a great deal.
most of these seem to have a form of sorcery
The soy-cafe ice chunk has a trace aura inside it that doesn't seem right
The contents of the bag were also the focus of the hate and loathing but you cannot see anything that would entail why.
One of the spirits was reaching out to Gil, hence his ability to 'feel' them
The very essence of these things creates a chilling effect when they gather in numbers.

Mmmm Spectres. Eeep. Will keep full spell defence, and extend it to Gil.

Good plan, also, you were able to tell, he was in no way a target at the time.

Please give me another perception for the doughnut fragments
