Session 1 of Pine Falls

[2008-09-19 19:09:49] <Fu> Logging.
[2008-09-19 19:10:19] <DrakeNero> i went to dinner with an old friend and was held up longer than I'd thought
[2008-09-19 19:10:27] <DrakeNero> I haven't seen the guy in a good half a year, though
[2008-09-19 19:10:34] <Khayin> No big. :) That's great!
[2008-09-19 19:10:53] <DrakeNero> I'm also still putting finishing touches on my stats.
[2008-09-19 19:11:03] <Khayin> Okey doke.
[2008-09-19 19:11:04] <DrakeNero> I'll have a final version by next session at the lastest.
[2008-09-19 19:11:14] <Khayin> Sounds fair to me
[2008-09-19 19:11:27] <Khayin> I'll try not to take too much time with the introductions so that we can keep this to the three hour time frame.
[2008-09-19 19:11:42] <Khayin> But, one last time -- is there anything you guys need me to cover before we start?
[2008-09-19 19:11:53] <DrakeNero> around 11-1130, I'll need to take a shower before my housemates use up all the hot water >O
[2008-09-19 19:11:54] <Fu> I'm fine.
[2008-09-19 19:12:07] <Khayin> Okey doke :D
[2008-09-19 19:12:09] <DrakeNero> but I'll only be gone 20 minutes
[2008-09-19 19:12:16] <Khayin> *Nod*
[2008-09-19 19:13:01] <Khayin> All right -- we shall move on.
[2008-09-19 19:13:11] <Fu> I may vanish at that time to get fast food. :p
[2008-09-19 19:13:18] <Khayin> 'Kay
[2008-09-19 19:14:18] <Khayin> The school year has begun and autumn creeps over the town of Pine Falls. It's been a month since the semester began and classes are in full swing.
[2008-09-19 19:15:31] <Khayin> Drake has been kept busy with steady requests from the university as of late -- apparently the alumni have been quite generous this year.
[2008-09-19 19:16:14] <DrakeNero> If it pays his salary, Drake doesn't complain.
[2008-09-19 19:16:18] <Khayin> The donations have been slowly rolling in and there is apparently more than a bit of bookkeeping required.
[2008-09-19 19:16:44] <DrakeNero> He idly wonders if the University would give him an intern for this. Hm.
[2008-09-19 19:17:03] <Khayin> Possibly...
[2008-09-19 19:17:06] <Khayin> It is a chilly Thursday morning when our story begins...
[2008-09-19 19:17:38] <Khayin> For Fu, there isn't a class until a bit later in the day so it is perfectly acceptable to sleep in if you so wish.
[2008-09-19 19:18:01] <Fu> And that he does.
[2008-09-19 19:18:55] <Khayin> For Drake, there is another appointment with Dean Merriwick at 10am sharp -- he likes to have to time to enjoy his coffee before he gets down to business.
[2008-09-19 19:20:52] <DrakeNero> Drake will be there ten minutes early, impeccably dressed and groomed and nursing the end of a morning latte.
[2008-09-19 19:21:22] <Khayin> For Mala, the morning begins with sunlight creeping across the room, bathing the tree that wishes to be a person with cozy and familiar warmth.
[2008-09-19 19:22:06] <Khayin> The arboretum is empty, as usual -- you always have a fair bit of the morning to yourself and the plants.
[2008-09-19 19:23:01] <Khayin> Do you stick around until someone comes by or do you take walks/find breakfast?
[2008-09-19 19:24:30] <Khayin> For Fu, your roommate, Kyle, is noisy as usual and stumbles about the dorm in an attempt to join the living and go to class.
[2008-09-19 19:25:14] <Mala> Finding breakfast isn't too hard. There's got to be a plant in here that bears something edible, and they're kind enough to provide. They know the deal.
[2008-09-19 19:25:51] * Fu waits for the damn man to actually be out of the room and does one of his absurdly fast clothes changes before actually getting out to get breakfast. Regular meals were a good thing. He had to remember that.
[2008-09-19 19:26:21] <Khayin> When Drake arrives at the Dean's office, his secretary, Ms. Belfast smiles politely (perhaps too politely?) and offers him a seat and some coffee as the Dean will be with him shortly.
[2008-09-19 19:26:30] <Mala> (the real question is, are arboretum fruits/veggies either unclaimed or do I have permission to harvest them? X3 )
[2008-09-19 19:27:06] <Khayin> (The answer is that as long as you don't take too much, most people like you enough to ignore one or two missing occasionally)
[2008-09-19 19:27:18] <Mala> (well, it's for Contract catch purposes.)
[2008-09-19 19:27:35] <DrakeNero> He pitches the latte cup in a local trashcan and takes a seat but politely (or as politely as the rather cold dragon man can be) declines the coffee.
[2008-09-19 19:27:39] <Khayin> (*Nod* Consider it fulfilled)
[2008-09-19 19:29:06] <Mala> (neat! free munchies! :3 ) After breakfast, a walk seems to be just the thing. Get some of that lovely autumn sun before the days get onerously short.
[2008-09-19 19:29:09] <Khayin> When Kyle finally exits, Fu is afforded the freedom he needs to clean and clothe himself. Getting breakfast, then, shouldn't be a big deal. Shall it be a make-it-yourself morning or is a trip to the student commisary in order?
[2008-09-19 19:29:43] <Fu> Commissary. No sense in having to cook every day when there is perfectly good pancakes already made.
[2008-09-19 19:30:43] <Khayin> Ms. Belfast nods, again politely, not appearing to notice Drake's latte and returning to her duties as if the entire process were by rote. The clock ticked semi-uncomfortably for a few minutes before Dean Merriwick opened his oak double doors and bellowed his greetings.
[2008-09-19 19:30:59] <Khayin> "Mr. Nero! Good, so good to see you, my friend!"
[2008-09-19 19:31:09] <Khayin> Everything is so good with him.
[2008-09-19 19:31:10] <DrakeNero> "Good morning, Dr. Belfast."
[2008-09-19 19:31:34] <DrakeNero> Drake is imposingly tall (6'4"ish) and broad, dressed in all black.
[2008-09-19 19:33:00] <Khayin> Gordon Merriwick is almost as tall as Drake and nearly twice as broad about the shoulders and chest. His handshake is so firm and mighty that you'd think a bearhug might crush a man's ribs. "A good morning, indeed! Please, step into my office! I trust Ms. Belfast has offered you coffee? Of course she has! Come in!"
[2008-09-19 19:33:45] <Khayin> Fu enters the commissary and is pleased to find that not too many people are in just yet and the new batch of food has just been brought out. How very, very lucky.
[2008-09-19 19:34:24] <DrakeNero> (That should have been Dr. Merriwick up there, my bad)
[2008-09-19 19:34:37] <Khayin> (Understood ^_^)
[2008-09-19 19:35:38] <Khayin> Mala, enjoying Washington's finest organic produce, continues her stroll out of the arboretum and to the edge of the school grounds. Fortunately for her, the arboretum is within visual distance of the forest and it is so lovely this time of year. The leaves have begun to fall and the mist is just thick enough that you can't see far past the first trees.
[2008-09-19 19:35:58] <DrakeNero> "Indeed she has." Drake's demeanor is perpetually calm and collected. He follows him into the office.
[2008-09-19 19:36:15] * Fu grins and tries not to look too smug as he gets some eggs, bacon, pancakes, and an orange or peach, if he can, and makes sure he checks the little book he has to remember if anything important is on his list.
[2008-09-19 19:36:44] <Mala> "Mmmmm." Mala squinches the dirt with her roots.
[2008-09-19 19:37:04] <Khayin> Once you do get past the first few trees, however, you notice that something is amiss. A fairly large ess appears to have been left near a tree. It's difficult to tell because of the mist, however, but you can tell it isn't leaves. Probably trash from some inconsiderate students.
[2008-09-19 19:37:29] <Mala> .... :<
[2008-09-19 19:37:38] <Mala> Mala goes for a closer look.
[2008-09-19 19:38:08] <DrakeNero> (Does anyone mind of Lioness watches?)
[2008-09-19 19:38:12] <DrakeNero> (*if)
[2008-09-19 19:38:17] <Khayin> (Nope)
[2008-09-19 19:38:31] <Fu> (Not at all)
[2008-09-19 19:38:36] -->| Lioness (Lioness@MagicStar-B33239CC.cable.ubr02.dudl.blueyonder.co.uk) has joined #Pinefalls
[2008-09-19 19:38:43] <Fu> (Voyuer!)
[2008-09-19 19:40:19] <Khayin> Drake is ushered into the Dean's office where the large, finely bearded man proceeds to commend the school's generous patrons and alumni, placing a folder with a small stack of financial documents in front of you. He blathers on, barely paying attention to you, mostly staring out the window into the misty forest.
[2008-09-19 19:40:44] <DrakeNero> Drake's eyes flick to the window in between scanning the documents.
[2008-09-19 19:42:08] <Khayin> Fu's schedule is fairly light today. Thursdays are fairly good for studying at the library since there is so much free time. Checking with his book, he notices that there is a software technology discussion going on there about half an hour after his second class. What luck!
[2008-09-19 19:42:37] <Fu> (I'm trying not to die from snorts at the comments about luck. XD)
[2008-09-19 19:42:53] <Khayin> (:D)
[2008-09-19 19:43:03] <Fu> And to the library! Fucking geek. (What date is it?)
[2008-09-19 19:43:32] <Khayin> (October 9)
[2008-09-19 19:43:42] <Fu> (Thank you)
[2008-09-19 19:43:57] <Khayin> Walking up the path, Mala approaches the mess and notices that the mess is mostly books and... a person, sprawled out on the ground as if she had collapsed.
[2008-09-19 19:44:44] <Khayin> (Seras, was it Politics I said Drake would likely specialize in for his skills?)
[2008-09-19 19:44:44] <Mala> People mostly do that in beds. o.o Mala pokes her with a stick, which is to say she pokes her with her finger.
[2008-09-19 19:44:58] <DrakeNero> (Politics and Academics)
[2008-09-19 19:46:03] <Khayin> (Thank you. May I have a Wits + Politics roll, please? Any relevant Specialities that you think she'd likely end up having once you're done may apply. This is to notice anything significant in the financial documents)
[2008-09-19 19:46:49] <DrakeNero> !roll_ww 6 8 10(this value is subject to change, because I'm still hammering stats out)
[2008-09-19 19:46:49] <The_Lady> DrakeNero invokes the Lady...
[2008-09-19 19:46:49] <The_Lady> 1, 1, 1, 7, 8, 9, 10
[2008-09-19 19:46:49] <The_Lady> rolled 6d10. Got 3 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10(this or better
[2008-09-19 19:47:33] <Khayin> The girl, when prodded, responds much like a log -- which is to say, not at all. The girl is sprawled out in such a way that looks very uncomfortable and you are not sure how long she would want to be like that.
[2008-09-19 19:47:59] <DrakeNero> (er, sorry, that should have been rolled at TN 8. Oof @.@)
[2008-09-19 19:48:18] <Fu> (It was... )
[2008-09-19 19:48:33] <DrakeNero> (@.x)
[2008-09-19 19:48:42] <Khayin> (No matter. One success is all that is ever really needed. :D)
[2008-09-19 19:49:16] <Mala> "Hey." Mala pokes her again. "Hey." Mala has seen this in action. Saying "Hey" usually works.
[2008-09-19 19:50:49] <Khayin> While the Dean drones on about things that really don't matter, Drake notices again that odd quirk that has made him curious about the school's finances. The money has a name attached in signatory, but the accounts are clearly business and military accounts -- not personal ones.
[2008-09-19 19:51:37] <DrakeNero> That's interesting
[2008-09-19 19:51:46] <Khayin> The girl does not move at all. An odd feeling comes over you as you begin to suspect something that you may not fully understand.
[2008-09-19 19:51:46] <Khayin> Something has happened.
[2008-09-19 19:53:14] <Khayin> "So kind, so kind," the dean reiterates for the twentieth time before turning to Drake. "Well, sir -- is everything in order? May I trust you with our accounting once again?"
[2008-09-19 19:54:05] <Fu> (If you want, I'll go get my food now, and when I come back, Fu can be bothered in the library)
[2008-09-19 19:54:11] <DrakeNero> "Certainly, Dr. Merriwick."
[2008-09-19 19:54:17] <Mala> (Have we met? >.> )
[2008-09-19 19:54:32] <DrakeNero> (If you're going to get food, I should also shower)
[2008-09-19 19:54:43] <Fu> (It's almost 11 for you,that's why I suggested it)
[2008-09-19 19:54:54] <Khayin> (Break?)
[2008-09-19 19:54:57] <Fu> (Sure.)
[2008-09-19 19:55:02] <DrakeNero> (sounds good to me)
[2008-09-19 19:55:07] <Fu> (McD's here I come.)
[2008-09-19 19:55:13] <Khayin> (XD)
[2008-09-19 19:55:32] =-= DrakeNero is now known as Drake|Shower
[2008-09-19 19:55:43] <Mala> (woo, loopytreegirl~)
[2008-09-19 19:55:52] <Khayin> (Heh heh heh)
[2008-09-19 20:18:38] =-= Drake|Shower is now known as DrakeNero
[2008-09-19 20:22:37] <Khayin> Oop! We back? Sorry -- I stepped away, myself. :P
[2008-09-19 20:22:47] <DrakeNero> I am, yes.
[2008-09-19 20:23:08] <Mala> (:D )
[2008-09-19 20:23:27] <Khayin> Looks like Astra is still gone, but that's fine. Shall we continue?
[2008-09-19 20:23:59] <Khayin> Or wait?
[2008-09-19 20:24:25] <DrakeNero> Either is fine with me
[2008-09-19 20:24:29] * DrakeNero is soooo decisive
[2008-09-19 20:24:33] <Khayin> :D
[2008-09-19 20:24:44] <Khayin> Okay -- let's continue.
[2008-09-19 20:25:01] <Khayin> *Puts on Storyteller helmet*
[2008-09-19 20:25:57] * DrakeNero bangs on Khayin's head.
[2008-09-19 20:26:11] <Khayin> (See? That's why I have it. :D)
[2008-09-19 20:26:45] * DrakeNero should invest in one
[2008-09-19 20:26:54] <Khayin> Mala's prodding proves ineffective and other students on the path are starting to notice that something is up as well. An eerie feeling seems to pervade the misty morning air and a sense of dread begins to make itself apparent.
[2008-09-19 20:27:35] <Khayin> (Mala, please make a Perception roll -- Wits + Composure. Take a +1 bonus)
[2008-09-19 20:27:55] <Mala> !roll_ww 6 8 10
[2008-09-19 20:27:56] <The_Lady> Mala invokes the Lady...
[2008-09-19 20:27:56] <The_Lady> 1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10
[2008-09-19 20:27:56] <The_Lady> rolled 6d10. Got 3 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10 or better
[2008-09-19 20:29:05] <Khayin> Among the items sprawled out on the ground around the girl is one that looks... curious. The only reason you notice it, in fact, is because of your affinity for such things.
[2008-09-19 20:29:33] <Khayin> A half-eaten apple lies a couple feet from her, sitting inconspicuously by a tree's roots.
[2008-09-19 20:31:01] <Fu> This is Rebecca's brother; Rebecca's not home, her scooter died while she went for food.
[2008-09-19 20:31:16] <Khayin> Augh!
[2008-09-19 20:31:21] <Khayin> Thank you for the information, sir.
[2008-09-19 20:31:24] <Mala> (good heavens. o.o )
[2008-09-19 20:32:25] <Khayin> That... certainly puts a damper on the evening. :P I sure hope everything is all right.
[2008-09-19 20:34:44] <Khayin> Hopefully if she managed to get that information out, she's okay and she'll be picked up, I guess. Still, that sucks (damn scooter).
[2008-09-19 20:35:02] <DrakeNero> Indeed :<
[2008-09-19 20:36:44] <Khayin> Well, okay -- we don't know when she'll be back around, so I'll let you guys decide if we'll continue. I'd sort of wanted to get the first "incident" squared away, but I'm perfectly willing to postpone until later if you'd like.
[2008-09-19 20:37:26] <DrakeNero> We should wait :<
[2008-09-19 20:37:31] <Mala> Yeah :<
[2008-09-19 20:37:54] <Khayin> No problems here.
[2008-09-19 20:38:38] <Khayin> Seras -- just let us know how it's looking on your end, since I know it's, like, past 11:30 where you are.
[2008-09-19 20:38:48] <DrakeNero> It's fuckin FRIDDDAAAAY
[2008-09-19 20:39:08] <Khayin> XD
[2008-09-19 20:39:11] <Khayin> Indeed
[2008-09-19 20:39:19] <DrakeNero> Read: no problems until close to 4AM
[2008-09-19 20:39:22] <DrakeNero> I start to lose it around then.
[2008-09-19 20:39:27] <Khayin> Heh heh heh
[2008-09-19 20:39:33] <Khayin> All right, then
[2008-09-19 20:40:00] <Khayin> *Doffs Storyteller helmet and noshes on some barbecue*
[2008-09-19 20:50:13] =-= DrakeNero is now known as Seras
[2008-09-19 21:20:36] <Fu> (I'm here)
[2008-09-19 21:20:46] <Fu> (Playing repair girl though, so brb)
[2008-09-19 21:21:37] <Khayin> Okey doke
[2008-09-19 21:26:09] <Fu> BACK.
[2008-09-19 21:26:11] <Fu> GOD.
[2008-09-19 21:26:17] <Mala> ( <3 )
[2008-09-19 21:26:19] <Fu> (...)
[2008-09-19 21:26:25] <Fu> (FUCKING FATHER, dishes)
[2008-09-19 21:26:33] <Mala> ( D: )
[2008-09-19 21:26:36] <Khayin> (Everything okay?)
[2008-09-19 21:32:59] <Fu> (yes, yes)
[2008-09-19 21:33:15] <Fu> (I just had to do dishes)
[2008-09-19 21:33:24] =-= Seras is now known as DrakeNero
[2008-09-19 21:33:24] <Fu> (So, I'm set again)
[2008-09-19 21:33:33] <Fu> (At least I don't have to go to bed.  :P )
[2008-09-19 21:33:44] <Khayin> (Heh heh)
[2008-09-19 21:34:04] <Khayin> (All right. Raise your hand if you're conscious. :D)
[2008-09-19 21:34:12] * DrakeNero flops over
[2008-09-19 21:34:15] <Mala> (*raises branch* o.o )
[2008-09-19 21:34:16] * DrakeNero raises hand
[2008-09-19 21:34:18] <Fu> (*raises a hand, and a hammer*)
[2008-09-19 21:35:41] <Khayin> (:D)
[2008-09-19 21:35:53] <Khayin> (Okey doke)
[2008-09-19 21:36:00] <Khayin> *Puts Storyteller Helmet back on*
[2008-09-19 21:37:53] * DrakeNero taps on it
[2008-09-19 21:38:14] <Khayin> As a few people begin to warily approach, wondering what is going on while simultaneously not wanting to know, Mala takes note of the half-eaten apple not terribly far from the girl on the ground. It doesn't look like it was eaten very long ago -- the brown has barely settled in to the flesh.
[2008-09-19 21:39:10] <Mala> Mala picks it up by the stem. Weird. o.O
[2008-09-19 21:40:33] <Khayin> "Good! So good to hear," Dean Merriwick says, throwing his hands up and then to his hips. "I love when everything works out well. I can tell this is going to be a good season, Mr. Nero. Very... good..." The dean trails off as he peers out into the misty woods outside his window.
[2008-09-19 21:40:58] <DrakeNero> Drake squints outside.
[2008-09-19 21:41:54] <Khayin> As Mala handles the apple, more students flock to the messy girl by the path and, for some reason, they start to make a commotion and others join them.
[2008-09-19 21:43:00] <Khayin> By the time Fu reaches the library, he notices a bunch of students diverting their daily paths or seats and dashing off to the west bridge at the behest of their friends and classmates.
[2008-09-19 21:43:42] <Fu> Being the curious sort, the Fairest follows, though not at a run.
[2008-09-19 21:44:03] <Khayin> From his seat, Drake can see a small congregation through the mist, just on the other side of the fence around the forest path. It doesn't look like a student meeting... and it doesn't look as animated as a crowd for a fight.
[2008-09-19 21:44:15] <Mala> ....they're not all looking at Mala, are they? >___>;
[2008-09-19 21:44:40] <Fu> (Can I do an empathy roll for the general feel?)
[2008-09-19 21:44:41] <Mala> Mala is starting to get a little self-conscious with all the people around. >_>

[2008-09-19 21:46:53] <Khayin> A few eyes are drawn to Mala, yes... though most are pointed at the girl not far from her.
[2008-09-19 21:47:06] <Khayin> That messy girl sure is popular.

[2008-09-19 21:48:16] <Khayin> Fu does not sense anything terribly amiss, though curiosity does drive him over the bridge and to the edge of the forest path where a group of students seem to be gathered in a slight panic.
[2008-09-19 21:48:16] <Mala> (Feck >.< )
[2008-09-19 21:48:50] <Fu> Fu begins running finally, taking out his cell phone and checking if there is coverage.
[2008-09-19 21:49:11] <Khayin> "What the devil...?" The Dean mutters in the most uncollected voice Drake has ever heard from him. He backs up a bit and starts to wipe his hands nervously, almost not noticing your presence for several moments.
[2008-09-19 21:49:46] <DrakeNero> "Dr. Merriweather?" Drake stands suddenly
[2008-09-19 21:50:04] <Khayin> Mala can't tell what those looks mean, but you're fairly certain they aren't talking about a tree, so that's good. Fu is grateful to know that there is full coverage at all points on campus.
[2008-09-19 21:51:00] <Mala> (I was gonna munch on some delicious fear. D: oh well.)
[2008-09-19 21:51:04] <Fu> He flips the thing on, tapping someone's shoulder and asking, "Hey, what's happening?"
[2008-09-19 21:51:35] <Khayin> "... oh, um... forgive me, Mr. Nero. I believe I have, um... some business to attend to..." The Dean goes to the elegant coat rack and takes his jacket, squirming his great arms into with no small amount of haste. "I believe I must be going now... I do hope those documents will be enough for now?"
[2008-09-19 21:51:46] <DrakeNero> "They should be fine, sir."
[2008-09-19 21:51:51] <DrakeNero> He gives the man a suspicious look.
[2008-09-19 21:52:11] <Fu> If he can, he pushes his way to the girl as well, asking if anyone is a pre-med student.
[2008-09-19 21:52:25] <Mala> Mala stands up, still looking at the apple, and rather wishing it could tell her what happened. But that's silly, of course. Apples don't talk.
[2008-09-19 21:52:47] <Khayin> "Good, good," he says, a bit more nervously than usual. "Have Ms. Belfast attend to anything else you may need. Good day!" he says before rushing out of his office at a brisk walking pace.
[2008-09-19 21:54:30] * Fu sighs and dials 9-1-1 if he doesn't have any luck.
[2008-09-19 21:55:42] <DrakeNero> Drake exits the office, trying to find the direction the dean went off in.
[2008-09-19 21:55:43] <Khayin> No one responds in the positive to Fu's question and he dials for help. (Assuming neither of you are attempting to be particularly stealthy, you can assume that Mala and Fu probably stand out to each other at this point)
[2008-09-19 21:56:13] <Mala> (Mala is about as stealthy as a Mack truck, being over six and a half feet tall and made of wood >.> )
[2008-09-19 21:56:22] <Fu> Fu sticks out ANYWAYS. Come on, handsome Chinese guy with bright red hair?
[2008-09-19 21:56:48] <Khayin> "Have a good day, sir," Drake hears Ms. Belfast speak in her eerily polite tone as he rushes to follow the dean.
[2008-09-19 21:57:34] <Fu> But right now, meeting a new fae was less important than making sure the girl is fine.
[2008-09-19 21:58:42] <Khayin> The dean brusquely pushes past a number of other students as he makes his way outside the campus and to the forest path not terribly far from his office. Drake can see that the number of people gathering across the way has increased and there is quite a bit of yelling now.
[2008-09-19 21:59:08] <Fu> Once there is shouting, Fu shouts viciously, "CALM THE HELL DOWN!"
[2008-09-19 21:59:13] <Khayin> Fu is promised an immediate response by the authorities just before the crowd gets too loud to hear much else.
[2008-09-19 21:59:56] <DrakeNero> Drake stays a few feet back. What the hell is going on?!
[2008-09-19 22:01:13] <Khayin> Before too long the booming voice of the dean scatters the congregating students and quiets them a bit -- enough that Drake can see a girl sprawled out on the ground in an unnatural position, her books scattered all about her.
[2008-09-19 22:01:24] <DrakeNero> That's never good.
[2008-09-19 22:01:28] <Khayin> And Mala not far behind, looking somewhat confused.
[2008-09-19 22:01:29] <Mala> Everyone's shouting. D:
[2008-09-19 22:01:41] <Mala> It's just a half-eaten apple.. >_>
[2008-09-19 22:01:51] <Fu> ( ... XD )
[2008-09-19 22:02:04] <DrakeNero> (have we met? I can't remember)

[2008-09-19 22:03:04] <Khayin> That... has not happened before.
[2008-09-19 22:04:01] <Khayin> The dean steps forward and, once he sees the girl, he has a bit of a panic attack and begins dabbing at his brow with a hastily retrieved handkerchief. After a few breathless moments, he fumbles for his cellular phone and begins to punch in the same auspicious numbers that Fu had dialed only moments ago.
[2008-09-19 22:04:14] <Fu> "Sir, I already called."

[2008-09-19 22:10:51] <Khayin> "... er... thank you, lad. Good, very good. Now, um... let's clear the area. YOU! STUDENTS!" He instantly goes from nervous to loud and agitated, bellowing for everyone to back off. "You all have learning to do, I trust? Well, get a move on! Shoo!"
[2008-09-19 22:11:36] <Khayin> The students slowly begin to trickle away, many visibly bothered by the sight that they could not tear themselves away from and one or two even crying.
[2008-09-19 22:11:47] * Fu jumps very slightly, and shrugs, walking toward Mala finally.
[2008-09-19 22:12:47] <Khayin> Dean Merriwick stays the couple minutes that it takes to steer away most of the students before a strange look comes over him and he dashes away, almost bumping into Drake as he leaves.
[2008-09-19 22:12:55] <Mala> ..Mala feels like she should probably walk away simply because that's what everyone else is doing. Oh, but someone wants to talk to her! That's always nice. "Hi." ^^ She's still holding the apple by the stem.
[2008-09-19 22:13:31] <DrakeNero> Drake gives the dean a confused look as he passes but reserves the rest of his quizzical stare for the other Lost.
[2008-09-19 22:13:34] <Fu> "Hello to you as well." He looks back at the girl. "I do not mean any insult, but were you the one who found her?"
[2008-09-19 22:14:18] <Mala> "Hm?" She looks at the apple, then back towards the girl. "Oh. Right. I saw a mess. I thought I'd clean it up. She was in the middle of it. I poked her and said 'Hey' but it didn't work."
[2008-09-19 22:14:35] <Fu> "She seems out, but I'm not a medical student."
[2008-09-19 22:15:32] * Fu adjusts her glasses and looks again at Drake, moving slightly to let him into a circle, if he wanted.
[2008-09-19 22:15:35] <Fu> HIS
[2008-09-19 22:15:49] <Mala> "Maybe we should find one of these medical students."
[2008-09-19 22:16:08] <Fu> "We could just talk to the paramedics once they come."
[2008-09-19 22:16:10] <Khayin> (I know that you don't have full stats yet, Drake, so in lieu of any kind of Investigation roll, could you roll three dice for me?)
[2008-09-19 22:16:11] <DrakeNero> "I trust you already called the appropriate authorities." The big dragon man finally talks and approaches.

[2008-09-19 22:16:52] <Mala> Mala is temporarily confused by the mishmash of two words she knows and imagines med students riding parachutes, but then waves at the dragon. "Hi." ^^
[2008-09-19 22:18:40] <DrakeNero> "Hello."
[2008-09-19 22:19:03] <Fu> "I'm around here for two months, with only the fae outside of the university, and I find two in a day." He crosses his arms.
[2008-09-19 22:19:30] * Fu winces at the slip.
[2008-09-19 22:19:53] <DrakeNero> "how very coincidental, isn't it."
[2008-09-19 22:20:06] <Mala> "I was somewhere else. But then I came here. It seemed like the right thing to do. >.>"
[2008-09-19 22:20:24] <Khayin> Yes. Interesting luck.
[2008-09-19 22:21:17] <Fu> "This place is... Well, a beginning." He shrugs. "But it's not a good thing to be around here, I'd say. Do either of you know a better place to talk?"
[2008-09-19 22:21:48] <Mala> "Most of the time I stay in there." She points at the arboretum. "Nobody seems to mind."
[2008-09-19 22:21:55] <DrakeNero> He shakes his head no, not willing to let strangers into his house just yet.
[2008-09-19 22:23:02] <Fu> "I'm in Peony Hall, which is an unsafe place..." He thinks for a moment and then smacks his forehead. "Let's head to the library; there's study rooms there."
[2008-09-19 22:23:22] <Mala> "Oooh. Don't think I've been in there yet."
[2008-09-19 22:24:06] <Fu> "It's wonderful." He grins. "But I am very much of a geek. I'm a computer science major." He gestures for the two to follow. "We can all introduce ourselves there."
[2008-09-19 22:24:30] <Fu> God damn social side and trying to connect other fae so they have support. Stupid useless charity.
[2008-09-19 22:25:12] <Khayin> (XD)
[2008-09-19 22:25:35] <Fu> ( Well, they say that another word for the charity virtue is compassion... )
[2008-09-19 22:26:35] <Khayin> (Has everyone agreed on the library)
[2008-09-19 22:26:42] <Khayin> (?)
[2008-09-19 22:26:42] <Mala> "Okay. ^^ " This seems like something to be happy about. So Mala will do the happy thing.
[2008-09-19 22:28:13] <Fu> (Seras?)
[2008-09-19 22:28:19] <DrakeNero> (Yeah that's cool)
[2008-09-19 22:29:45] <Fu> Fu tries his best to get a study room that locks and is away from others, using mostly charm and a sunny smile to do it.
[2008-09-19 22:30:00] <Khayin> The first thing that Fu notices is that the library emptied but fast. Drake and Mala, having never visited before, note that the library is actually quite large and well-stocked with books and references of all sorts as well as a variety of modern technological aids.
[2008-09-19 22:30:29] <Fu> (It's completely empty other than staff?)
[2008-09-19 22:31:26] <Khayin> Almost. Only a few people here and there that probably didn't hear the news.
[2008-09-19 22:31:26] <Khayin> It isn't difficult for Fu to find some privacy and, within moments, they are behind closed doors. You know that, despite the fact that the room is virtually sound-proofed, there are large enough windows that anyone could see inside.
[2008-09-19 22:31:41] * DrakeNero finds the vacancy of the library a little suspect.
[2008-09-19 22:31:42] <Mala> Mala seems a bit put off. Why do so many buildings have roofs the sun can't come through? x.x At least there's a window.
[2008-09-19 22:32:23] <Khayin> A fair suspicion, Drake. Roll Perception (Wits + Composure), please. If you don't know those, roll 3.
[2008-09-19 22:32:48] <Khayin> Er... 4.
[2008-09-19 22:32:49] <Fu> (Fu probably would be looking as well)
[2008-09-19 22:33:10] <Khayin> (Go for it, then)

[2008-09-19 22:35:04] <Khayin> Both Drake and Fu notice that the staff all look a bit nervous. In fact, they seem to be going around looking over students' shoulders and as you enter the study room, you see one of them asked to leave if there isn't anything else they need from the stacks.
[2008-09-19 22:35:41] <Fu> "...Be on guard." Fu murmurs as they all enter the room.
[2008-09-19 22:37:17] <Khayin> The room silences as the acoustics are such that there is almost no echo at all. In the room is a table long enough for ten people and several comfortable-looking chairs.
[2008-09-19 22:38:37] <Fu> He removes his glasses and cleans them as he looks outside, not even squinting. "So, I'll start the introduction. My name is Fu, Ryan Smith to the world and its bureaucracy. I'm a student here, computer science major."
[2008-09-19 22:40:47] * Fu doesn't sit down, and sits away from the northeastern part of the room, preferably in the southern part.
[2008-09-19 22:40:55] <Fu> (stands away)
[2008-09-19 22:40:57] <DrakeNero> "Pleased to meet you. I'm Drake Nero, financial consultant for the school."
[2008-09-19 22:41:58] <DrakeNero> He sits in the closest available chair.
[2008-09-19 22:43:07] <Mala> Mala sits on the big table. "I think Mala is a good name. Someone asked me what mine was, and that's what came to mind first. So, Mala. ^^"
[2008-09-19 22:43:49] <Fu> "Does anyone have an idea what happened? People were panicking, even the Dean. I actually got a harvest out of him. " O_o
[2008-09-19 22:44:39] <Mala> "I found this." She holds up the apple. "It's not all the way eaten." She nods as though this were a very profound statement.
[2008-09-19 22:45:15] <DrakeNero> "I don't know. The Dean and I were in a meeting and he rushed out."
[2008-09-19 22:46:38] <Fu> "I was actually coming here to study." He eyes the apple, as if to remember it, and then extends a hand. "I wonder..."
[2008-09-19 22:47:49] <Mala> Mala looks at the apple. At Fu. Back at the apple. Possessive, much? >.>
[2008-09-19 22:48:18] <Fu> "I just would like to take a bite, please." He bows his head and looks innocent. "Unless you would like to try."
[2008-09-19 22:48:50] <Mala> "Ew, no. That'd be weird." She hands it over. >_>
[2008-09-19 22:49:27] * Fu takes off a piece gently, actually sits down, and... pops it into his mouth.
[2008-09-19 22:49:33] <Fu> And chews.

[2008-09-19 22:52:09] <Fu> "Huh."
[2008-09-19 22:52:45] <Khayin> The apple is crunchy and sweet, tasting only slightly dry, as might be expected with exposed flesh.
[2008-09-19 22:53:11] <Fu> "I'm no biologist, but... How does a plant," He swallows slowly, savoring the fruit anyways, "Reproduce without seeds? Isn't a fruit just the carrier for a seed?"
[2008-09-19 22:53:31] <DrakeNero> "Hm."
[2008-09-19 22:55:02] <Fu> "I think we need to visit the girl who was admitted and see where she got that fruit."
[2008-09-19 22:55:16] <DrakeNero> "That seems like a solid plan"
[2008-09-19 22:55:28] <Fu> "We... just need to get in. .__."

[2008-09-19 22:56:24] <Fu> "She wouldn't be there now, though."
[2008-09-19 22:56:45] <Mala> "She didn't look like she was gonna get up and move around."
[2008-09-19 22:57:03] <Fu> "The paramedics will move her."

[2008-09-19 23:02:34] <Khayin> Something is wrong.
[2008-09-19 23:02:47] <Fu> Fu frowns, not looking very happy.
[2008-09-19 23:03:17] <Fu> "I think my suspicion was the correct one."
[2008-09-19 23:03:18] <Mala> <.<
[2008-09-19 23:03:23] <Khayin> Suddenly, Fu feels as if he is drowning, yet he can breathe fine. Reflexively, he begins breathing faster as if to compensate for the oxygen he is clearly not getting.
[2008-09-19 23:03:46] <Fu> (Says the last line in gasps then)
[2008-09-19 23:04:25] <Khayin> The other Lost watch as the Fairest actually starts to turn a little blue.
[2008-09-19 23:04:39] <Khayin> But, as much as it is painful, he somehow manages to retain consciousness.
[2008-09-19 23:04:52] <DrakeNero> "... I suddenly wish I'd learned CPR."
[2008-09-19 23:04:54] <Fu> His chest also flutters as if under the cloth is just paper as he tries to speak. "The *gasp* apple. *wheeze*"
[2008-09-19 23:05:08] <Fu> "I'm *sucks in a breath* FINE."
[2008-09-19 23:05:18] <DrakeNero> "You're turning blue."
[2008-09-19 23:05:32] * Fu grits his teeth, and goes to the wastebasket and shoves his fingers down his throat.
[2008-09-19 23:05:55] <Fu> (I can't believe this... Yes, Fu is trying to force himself to vomit.)
[2008-09-19 23:06:04] <Khayin> Mala witnesses another queasy human habit.
[2008-09-19 23:06:11] <Mala> "ew. o.o"

[2008-09-19 23:06:23] <Khayin> Drake witnesses another Fairest in a distinct lack of grace
[2008-09-19 23:06:29] <Khayin> (No, you're fine)
[2008-09-19 23:06:33] <DrakeNero> Hmph.
[2008-09-19 23:06:51] <Fu> (Does he feel better after getting the apple out?)
[2008-09-19 23:07:01] <Khayin> Once the purging is done, Fu is still wanting for breath, but at least breathing feels like it's doing something now. Little by little. It still hurts, though.

[2008-09-19 23:08:16] <Fu> "Poisoning."
[2008-09-19 23:08:36] <Fu> "That girl got poisoned, just like I did by doing that."
[2008-09-19 23:08:36] <Khayin> If you eaten just a liiiittle more of the apple, you'd be dead.

[2008-09-19 23:09:27] <Fu> "And the amount was just right for not killing me." He weakly gets up, shaking his head.
[2008-09-19 23:09:37] <DrakeNero> "How fortunate."
[2008-09-19 23:09:41] <Fu> "Sometimes I /hate/ being a Treasured."
[2008-09-19 23:10:05] <Fu> "It's my speciality." He smiles slightly, sitting back in the chair most southernly.
[2008-09-19 23:10:07] <Mala> Mala picks the apple up by the stem, very carefully, as if expecting some manner of base trechary from it.

[2008-09-19 23:12:47] <Khayin> From where he is sitting, Drake notices some of the library staff gathering around the front desk, apparently arguing with each other.
[2008-09-19 23:12:55] <DrakeNero> He narrows his eyes.
[2008-09-19 23:13:06] <Khayin> Fu notices some very unremarkable vomit.
[2008-09-19 23:13:25] * Fu gets up, coughing.
[2008-09-19 23:13:27] <DrakeNero> "There appears to be some sort of tussle."
[2008-09-19 23:13:43] <Fu> "Then let's go... *cough* smooth things out."

[2008-09-19 23:15:21] * Mala eyes the apple while the boys pick a fight. =__=
[2008-09-19 23:16:07] <Fu> "It's a matter of pride, unfortunately." He grimaces before nodding. He gracefully approaches, and in a soft, very polite voice, "Ah, could I please have a kleenex? Or a box?" He adds a just a little overdramatic cough to drive the point home.
[2008-09-19 23:16:24] <Khayin> "... who's the Fairest?" Mala hears again as the men proceed to leave.
[2008-09-19 23:17:05] <Mala> "...who's the Fairest? I don't know. >_> "
[2008-09-19 23:17:22] <Khayin> When Fu opens the door of the soundproofed study room, the argument across the library suddenly becomes audible.
[2008-09-19 23:17:50] <Khayin> "... like that girl on Herman Street! The one with her throat crushed on the window sill!"
[2008-09-19 23:17:58] <Khayin> "Shut up..."
[2008-09-19 23:18:01] <Mala> o.o
[2008-09-19 23:18:06] <Fu> "..."
[2008-09-19 23:18:21] <Khayin> "And like the one that were mauled outside Pritchett's place! It's just like..."
[2008-09-19 23:18:23] <Fu> Fu quietly approaches, coughing the whole way partly because he DID just throw up.
[2008-09-19 23:18:24] <Khayin> "SHUT UP!"
[2008-09-19 23:18:43] <Khayin> The librarians silence themselves when they realize you are on the approach.
[2008-09-19 23:19:00] <Fu> "Ah... Could I please have a box of kleenex...?"
[2008-09-19 23:19:36] <Khayin> "Er... right. Sure," One of the librarians behind the desk reaches under and holds out a box of tissue.
[2008-09-19 23:20:04] <Fu> "Thank... you. But..." He frowns, looking concerned. "What do you are talking about?"
[2008-09-19 23:20:21] <Khayin> They group of rather aged library staff look all three of you over from a distance and squint a little.
[2008-09-19 23:20:49] * Fu smiles with enough charm to melt ice.
[2008-09-19 23:20:55] <Khayin> "Nothing, dear," the white-haired woman behind the counter says with a bright smile. "It's just us old folks worryin' about old folk things."
[2008-09-19 23:21:07] <Khayin> "You should get goin," a grouchier looking old man next to you says.
[2008-09-19 23:21:15] <Fu> "Murder isn't a old folk thing."
[2008-09-19 23:21:56] <Khayin> "Who were talkin' murder?" the tall and skinny old man behind the counter says, almost staring off into space. "We don't talk those things in here. Just books."
[2008-09-19 23:22:02] <Fu> "..."
[2008-09-19 23:22:14] <Khayin> "He's right, dear," the old woman says again. "We're just talking mystery novels is all."
[2008-09-19 23:22:45] <Fu> "Those must be ex-" He glances at the old woman with a vaguely amused expression.
[2008-09-19 23:23:24] <Fu> "But I have read the most recent ones." He looked very innocent. "The ones you just got. None of them talk about a 'Herman' street."
[2008-09-19 23:23:32] <Fu> (Is there a Herman Street in Pine Falls?)
[2008-09-19 23:23:32] <Khayin> The sour-faced old man next to you glares malevolently. The silent old man next to him appears to have a similar sentiment.
