[2008-11-07 19:26:51] <Fu> Oh, you aren't in the gallery?
[2008-11-07 19:27:01] <QuicksilverFox85> Nope. *heads over*
[2008-11-07 19:33:18] =-= Seras|Shower is now known as DrakeNero
[2008-11-07 19:36:06] <Khayin> All right -- everyone clean?
[2008-11-07 19:36:34] <DrakeNero> Physically, yes
[2008-11-07 19:36:41] <DrakeNero> mentally, no hope of ever coming clean.
[2008-11-07 19:37:05] <Khayin> Good. I have no use for the clean-minded!
[2008-11-07 19:37:13] <DrakeNero> Eeexcellent.
[2008-11-07 19:37:39] <Khayin> All right. Business time. *Straps on ST helmet*
[2008-11-07 19:37:45] * Fu beats on it.
[2008-11-07 19:38:20] * DrakeNero fires beanbags at it
[2008-11-07 19:39:21] <Khayin> XD
[2008-11-07 19:39:33] <DrakeNero> Just checkin' to make sure it's sound.
[2008-11-07 19:39:48] <DrakeNero> It's my job, as another ST
[2008-11-07 19:39:55] <Khayin> Of course. :P
[2008-11-07 19:39:59] <Fu> Fu would be trying to help the woman up and get into the house, while making sure whatever attacked her doesn't come back.
[2008-11-07 19:40:47] <Mala> Mala's on her way to the hospital still o.o
[2008-11-07 19:41:16] <Khayin> The party was in an uproar. People were panicking and the word was getting around that someone had been attacked. A few got scared and made for the exit. Many ran to the balcony to catch a glimpse of the supposed violence, but the fog made it very difficult to see. Most could hear Fu's screaming insistence for someone to call 911, though few made the effort.
[2008-11-07 19:41:54] * DrakeNero will call 9-1-1 if nobody else does.
[2008-11-07 19:43:23] <Khayin> Drake opens up his phone, the picture he took -- the strange woman holding up three fingers -- still displayed. It did not take long for him to reach the operator and report the problem. When the address was given, the operator's heightened urgency was notable.
[2008-11-07 19:44:29] <Fu> How is the woman doing?
[2008-11-07 19:44:51] <Khayin> "WHAT THE HELL?!" Mr. Harris yelled, slumped over his steering wheel after having slammed on the brakes. For a long moment, both he and Mrs. Harris were silent. Surely they had seen what Mala had seen, but none of them wanted to say it.
[2008-11-07 19:45:20] <Khayin> (Wits + Medicine -2 for visibility)
[2008-11-07 19:45:27] <Khayin> (For Fu, that is)
[2008-11-07 19:45:34] <Mala> "...what was that? o.o "
[2008-11-07 19:45:51] <Fu> (I don't have medicine! *willpower!*
[2008-11-07 19:46:05] <Fu> !roll_ww 1 8 10 Willpower
[2008-11-07 19:46:07] <The_Lady> Fu invokes the Lady...
[2008-11-07 19:46:07] <The_Lady> 9
[2008-11-07 19:46:07] <The_Lady> rolled 1d10. Got 1 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10 or better
[2008-11-07 19:47:32] <Khayin> The woman is seriously hurt, but she does not appear to have suffered any fatal injuries. Her arm might be broken and she has suffered trauma to her head and body in addition to a few bleeding gashes on her shoulder, but nothing that can't be bandaged up. She's more in shock than anything.
[2008-11-07 19:48:31] <Fu> "You'll be fine," Fu says gently, helping her along, "You have some trauma, but nothing that looks deadly. Just... just keep calm and breathe. Losing your head will only make it worse..."
[2008-11-07 19:48:37] <Khayin> "I..." Mrs. Harris begins. "I... I don't know, dear..."
[2008-11-07 19:50:39] <Khayin> Saying nothing else, Mr. Harris starts the car back up and quietly rolls forward again, pretending as if nothing had happened, though everyone was obviously shaken.
[2008-11-07 19:52:01] <Khayin> Was Fu going to stay by the woman's side?
[2008-11-07 19:52:05] <Fu> Yes.
[2008-11-07 19:52:16] <Fu> He has to make sure she is alright.
[2008-11-07 19:52:24] <Fu> Oh, and off of her fear? Snack time.
[2008-11-07 19:53:06] <Khayin> Not five minutes after making the call, Drake notices a number of police and paramedics burst in from the entrance and dash over to the gardens, pushing politely through the masses to reach the injured.
[2008-11-07 19:53:19] <Khayin> (Roll Wits + Empathy)
[2008-11-07 19:53:32] <Fu> !roll_ww 6 8 10
[2008-11-07 19:53:33] <The_Lady> Fu invokes the Lady...
[2008-11-07 19:53:33] <The_Lady> 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
[2008-11-07 19:53:33] <The_Lady> rolled 6d10. Got 0 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10 or better
[2008-11-07 19:56:33] <Khayin> "A... beast... it was... wings... my, God..." the woman mutters hysterically, tears streaming down her face as she winces in pain.
[2008-11-07 19:57:04] <Fu> "Breathe, breathe..." Fu keeps next to her, rubbing her back and trying to calm her down.
[2008-11-07 19:57:16] <Fu> It's better than his original idea of smacking her.
[2008-11-07 19:57:44] <Khayin> Not long afterward, men in uniform come rushing to where Fu is and start administering to her, loudly urging him to move aside.
[2008-11-07 19:57:56] <Fu> He does move away, sighing in relief.
[2008-11-07 19:58:26] <Khayin> (Drake, roll Wits + Empathy, please)
[2008-11-07 19:58:41] <DrakeNero> !roll_ww 2 8 10

[2008-11-07 19:58:42] <The_Lady> rolled 2d10. Got 2 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10 or better
[2008-11-07 20:00:43] -->| Greenling (~chatzilla@66.208.215.IP) has joined #PineFalls
[2008-11-07 20:01:13] <Khayin> Up with the rest of the party, Drake notices that while most of the folks around are scared, nervous, curious, or some combination of any number of understandable emotions, a few display an odd sense of calm and... understanding. In fact, a few made odd looks to each other across the room. You know some of them, actually. In fact, you just met them moments ago.
[2008-11-07 20:01:49] <DrakeNero> *Hmm. A miniature rich, white Illuminati?*
[2008-11-07 20:01:56] <DrakeNero> *wait, are all Illuminati rich and white?*
[2008-11-07 20:02:10] <DrakeNero> *Unimportant. What are you up to, hmmmmm*
[2008-11-07 20:03:16] <DrakeNero> He walks back over in that direction, putting on his best worried face.
[2008-11-07 20:06:19] <Khayin> Mr. Keeler and Mr. Vargas had exchanged a peculiar look, which was broken only when Mr. Vargas noticed Drake's presence and seemed to give him a rather creepy stare before finding someplace else to be. Mr. Keeler turned to Drake and instantly transformed his expression into a suitably worried grimace. "Do you know what's happened? My goodness, I certainly hope my son is safe."
[2008-11-07 20:07:26] <DrakeNero> "Give him a call?"
[2008-11-07 20:08:33] <Khayin> "... oh! Yes, yes. A good idea!" He then excuses himself, digging his phone out of his jacket and turning it on.
[2008-11-07 20:08:35] <Fu> !roll_ww 4 8 10
[2008-11-07 20:08:37] <The_Lady> Fu invokes the Lady...
[2008-11-07 20:08:38] <The_Lady> 1, 1, 8, 9
[2008-11-07 20:08:38] <The_Lady> rolled 4d10. Got 2 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 10 or better
[2008-11-07 20:08:53] <DrakeNero> Drake eavesdrops.
[2008-11-07 20:08:55] <DrakeNero> Or tries to.
[2008-11-07 20:09:16] <Khayin> He moves to another room. It'll be hard unless you follow him.
[2008-11-07 20:09:23] <DrakeNero> Mm. too obvious.
[2008-11-07 20:09:37] <Khayin> The paramedics look concerned enough with the woman's health that they don't appear untrustworthy.
[2008-11-07 20:10:35] <Fu> Fu lets out a slow breath and nods once he is sure that the woman is fine and goes back to the party, checking if there is blood on his clothes.
[2008-11-07 20:10:39] <Khayin> Mala noticed quite a few loud sirens and flashing lights on their way to the hospital. By the time they arrived, there was virtually no one around. "I'll let the receptionist know we're here," Mr. Harris said. "You girls go on up and I'll meet you there."
[2008-11-07 20:11:11] <Mala> "Okay o.o "
[2008-11-07 20:11:35] <DrakeNero> Drake decides to walk past Mr. Vargas, pretending to be interested in the wine.
[2008-11-07 20:12:51] <Khayin> Mrs. Harris rushes through to the elevator, holding Mala's hand firmly. When the doors close, leaving them alone in silence with only the whirring of the mechanisms and the florescent lights, Mala noticed Mrs. Harris's hand shaking a bit as she stared into space.
[2008-11-07 20:13:07] <Khayin> She actually seems worried.
[2008-11-07 20:13:44] <Mala> "...what's wrong? You said she was awake.. o.o "
[2008-11-07 20:14:14] -->| Greenling_ (~chatzilla@66.208.215.IP) has joined #PineFalls
[2008-11-07 20:14:27] <Khayin> "... huh? Oh! Er... yes, yes she is, dear. I was just, um... um...."
[2008-11-07 20:14:28] <Khayin> "..."
[2008-11-07 20:14:30] |<-- Greenling has left irc.magicstar.net (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Greenling_)))
[2008-11-07 20:14:37] =-= Greenling_ is now known as Greenling
[2008-11-07 20:20:25] <Khayin> It was uncomfortably silent again before the doors opened up and Mrs. Harris led Mala down the hallway with the one flickering light toward Patricia's room.
[2008-11-07 20:20:53] <Mala> Mala isn't quite sure what to say and doesn't want to wig the poor woman out even more. >_>
[2008-11-07 20:22:23] <Khayin> Drake focused his perceptions as he would to pull together his fractured sanity and concentrated on his surroundings. This trick had always proven useful in discovering things that were not normal... things like the thing that seems to be wandering around outside.
[2008-11-07 20:22:44] <Khayin> Fu feels it to as he walks the steps up to the balcony. Something is out there and it hasn't left.
[2008-11-07 20:22:52] <DrakeNero> *Oh super.*
[2008-11-07 20:23:00] <Fu> ~"Shit."~
[2008-11-07 20:23:01] <DrakeNero> *they have a /pet/ monster.*
[2008-11-07 20:23:13] * Fu takes out his cell phone before entering the hall and calls Drake.
[2008-11-07 20:23:20] <DrakeNero> "What."
[2008-11-07 20:23:41] <Fu> "Something's out there."
[2008-11-07 20:23:45] <DrakeNero> "I know.
[2008-11-07 20:23:46] <Fu> "Where's Mala?"
[2008-11-07 20:23:51] <DrakeNero> "Eaten by a grue."
[2008-11-07 20:23:57] <Fu> "Oh fuck you, Drake."
[2008-11-07 20:24:02] <DrakeNero> "I don't know."
[2008-11-07 20:24:30] <Fu> He is trying not to laugh, at least. "I think she'll be fine... The woman is going to the hositpal."
[2008-11-07 20:24:31] <Khayin> Even before the door opens, Mala hears Patricia moaning. When she sees her, she almost doesn't recognize her. The couple times she'd seen her awake, she was happy and positive and maybe a little shy or nervous.
[2008-11-07 20:24:33] <Khayin> Now...
[2008-11-07 20:25:53] <Fu> "I am going to go back in; I need to say goodbye to the person who invited me, and then leave. Where should we meet outside of this place?"
[2008-11-07 20:25:56] <Khayin> "It's here!" she groaned, barely restrained by the two nurses holding her down. "It's already here! We can't lock it up anymore! It's here!" Though her words were strained, her body thrashed with the strength of adrenaline high and her eyes were nearly bulging from their sockets as she stared unblinking into space.
[2008-11-07 20:26:15] <Mala> o___o
[2008-11-07 20:27:15] <Fu> "... Or should we not leave at all?"
[2008-11-07 20:27:51] <Khayin> "The trees know!" she moans loudly. "She knows what she's seen! She was there! Oh, my god... SHE WAS THERE!!!"
[2008-11-07 20:28:14] <Khayin> It is at that point, Mala realizes that Patricia is actually staring straight at her.
[2008-11-07 20:28:38] <Mala> Mala...waves? o__o;
[2008-11-07 20:29:31] <DrakeNero> "Do what you want. I'm sticking around for a bit."
[2008-11-07 20:30:30] <Khayin> Patricia quiets only for a moment, still staring as the nurses use that moment to prepare a needle. "... tell them... pleeeaase..." Her eyes begin to water and then the nurse injects something into her arm and she begins to calm down, slumping into her bed.
[2008-11-07 20:31:12] <Fu> "I'll get going to the hospital..."
[2008-11-07 20:31:36] <Khayin> (Mala, Wits + Empathy, please)
[2008-11-07 20:32:03] <Mala> !roll_ww 5 8 11
[2008-11-07 20:32:05] <The_Lady> Mala invokes the Lady...
[2008-11-07 20:32:05] <The_Lady> 1, 1, 2, 6, 10
[2008-11-07 20:32:05] <The_Lady> rolled 5d10. Got 1 Successes against a TN of 8, rerolling on 11 or better
[2008-11-07 20:32:05] <Fu> Fu does slip back in to track down Theresa and apologize for running off.
[2008-11-07 20:33:05] <Khayin> Mrs. Harris looks on with... sadness. Her eyes water as her daughter is drugged again and she almost looks away, gripping Mala's hand tightly.
[2008-11-07 20:33:36] <Mala> Mala squeezes back? It seems like the right thing to do. Not too hard though. >__>;
[2008-11-07 20:34:03] <Khayin> When Fu reaches her, Theresa is being consoled by her father. She notices him out of the corner of her eye and her expression seems to ask what is going on.
[2008-11-07 20:34:36] * Fu shrugs, looking serious. "The woman seems like she'll be fine once she gets to the hospital."
[2008-11-07 20:37:36] <Khayin> Theresa nods, holding her father's hand, who seems to ignore him for a moment. "Dad," she finally says, almost angrily. "This is Ryan Smith." Mr. Franklin seems to not understand for a moment and then turns to Fu suddenly. "Oh! Oh, my goodness, forgive me. I didn't, um... notice you there."
[2008-11-07 20:38:08] * Fu smiles wanly and shrugs. "It is understandable with emotions running so high..."
[2008-11-07 20:38:21] * Fu winces and kneels down to rub his calf.
[2008-11-07 20:38:42] <Khayin> "... good lord, were you hurt?" he asks, squinting suspiciously.
[2008-11-07 20:38:49] <Fu> "Not actually."
[2008-11-07 20:38:58] <Fu> "Good... twenty feet drop?"
[2008-11-07 20:39:52] <Khayin> "... that was YOU?" he exclaims. "Goodness, boy -- use some sense! We can't have two people hurt in my gardens!"
[2008-11-07 20:40:07] <Fu> "Reflex, unfortunately."
[2008-11-07 20:40:09] <Khayin> "DAD!" Theresa almost yells, stomping on his foot.
[2008-11-07 20:40:39] * Fu gets back up, still checking his clothes for blood. He hadn't been paying attention when helping.
[2008-11-07 20:41:11] <Fu> "I am fine. I'll feel it in the morning, but at least the lady that was there will be fine."
[2008-11-07 20:42:09] <Fu> "Anyways." He shakes his head. "Thank you, Theresa, for the invitation, but I believe I should be going home." He smirks. "I believe we have a paper due on Wednesday?"
[2008-11-07 20:42:43] <Fu> He bows partly to Mr. Franklin and then fully to Theresa before leaving.
[2008-11-07 20:43:56] <Khayin> Orbiting about the dining hall, Drake starts to notice more folks leaving as the paramedics carry the woman to the ambulance and close up, driving off with sirens blaring a moment later. With the hall emptying quickly, it is easier to pick out the ones with different emotions. The men he had met earlier and their wives along with a few others he hadn't met. When it seemed like most were...
[2008-11-07 20:43:58] <Khayin> ...not looking their way, they began to convene, but Drake could see Mr. Vargas staring menacingly at him again.
[2008-11-07 20:44:38] <DrakeNero> Drake makes eye contact this time.
[2008-11-07 20:44:52] <DrakeNero> He keeps his expression neutral, though.

[2008-11-07 20:47:26] <Khayin> Mr. Vargas has a cold, steely gaze and were you a normal person, you have a feeling you'd have been intimidating long ago. But the dragon does not flinch in the face of the man, and even this geezer can't make you back down. When he seems to realize that, he mutters something to the others and they all move to a different room.
[2008-11-07 20:48:05] <DrakeNero> *Creep.*
[2008-11-07 20:48:17] <DrakeNero> He snorts.
[2008-11-07 20:49:35] <Khayin> Receiving a nervous smile from Theresa and a half-hearted bow from her father, Fu makes his way to the exit and heads toward his car. The path was clear and no one else was around, but he still felt... something. Almost by reflex he turned around to look at the house. It looked so much more ominous now as the moon cast its shape as a silhouette in the foggy night.
[2008-11-07 20:50:15] <Khayin> The house is beautiful but those gargoyles sure are unnerving.
[2008-11-07 20:50:55] <Fu> 'See the moon high up in the sky, darling, come, let your fantasies fly darling...' Fu begins humming as he goes for the car, looking up at the house with a distrust that he only reserved for his memories of art galleries.
[2008-11-07 20:51:09] <Khayin> (Heading for the hospital?)
[2008-11-07 20:51:32] <Fu> Yes.
[2008-11-07 20:52:07] <Khayin> (Drake pursuing, retreating... relocating?)
[2008-11-07 20:52:46] <DrakeNero> That seemed like a good cue to leave.
[2008-11-07 20:53:08] <Khayin> The road is pretty clear this time of night, though Fu continues to see things moving around in the darkness. It's hard to tell which ones are supposed to be there... and which ones are not. (Clarity roll, pleeeeease)
[2008-11-07 20:53:10] <DrakeNero> He'll say goodnight to his host and then figure out where his ...oh he doesn't want to call them his motley... his acquaintances went.

[2008-11-07 20:54:42] <Khayin> Fortunately the monsters wandering the street turned out to be trick-or-treaters. Why they were allowed up so late is beyond him. Some look more menacing than others, though.
[2008-11-07 20:55:00] <Fu> What time is it?
[2008-11-07 20:55:16] <Khayin> Past ten.
[2008-11-07 20:55:54] <Fu> Huh. Either way, Fu makes his way to the hospital, just to make sure the woman is safe.
[2008-11-07 20:56:07] <Fu> He does drive a little faster to try getting there quickly...
[2008-11-07 20:58:06] <Fu> Maybe if he is lucky...
[2008-11-07 20:58:13] <Fu> He'll get there when they arrive. :D
[2008-11-07 20:58:43] <Khayin> When it appears Patricia is calmed, Mrs. Harris steps forward, looking to the nurses to see if it is okay and receiving a nod.
[2008-11-07 20:59:11] <Khayin> "Baby?" she says, petting her head a bit. "Sweetheart, it's mommy. I brought your friend, Mala..."
[2008-11-07 20:59:47] <Khayin> "... knows... was there..." Patricia mumbles, dazedly looking about.
[2008-11-07 21:00:08] <Khayin> Not knowing what else to say, Mrs. Harris turns to Mala.
[2008-11-07 21:00:32] <Mala> Mala has come up behind Mrs. Harris to peer over her shoulder. Not hard, considering her height >_>
[2008-11-07 21:02:54] <Khayin> Drake exits the building and approaches the valet, who looks him over briefly and confidently nods before taking a set of keys and rushing off to fetch his car. A few moments later, Drake's cool-mobile rolls up and the valet holds the door open for him. (Perception, please)

[2008-11-07 21:03:39] <Khayin> As soon as the valet leaves Drake alone with his car, Drake can sense something is amiss.
[2008-11-07 21:03:43] <Khayin> Someone else is in the back.
[2008-11-07 21:03:53] <DrakeNero> He goes immediately for the gun in the glove box.
[2008-11-07 21:04:36] <Khayin> "Don't bother, Mr. Nero," a woman's voice says softly as he quickly opens the glovebox. "I'm not dangerous."
[2008-11-07 21:04:56] <DrakeNero> "That's what they all say."
[2008-11-07 21:05:11] <DrakeNero> "Shortly before removing your soul through your nostrils, or something equally horrible."
[2008-11-07 21:05:16] <Khayin> Patricia stares through her swimming vision at Mala, as if searching for something. "... Mala... ?"
[2008-11-07 21:05:29] * Mala waves again. "Hi. o.o"
[2008-11-07 21:06:00] <Khayin> "Indeed," the shadow in the back replies. "Please get in the car -- you're blocking the driveway."

[2008-11-07 21:06:34] <Khayin> "... Mala..." she mutters again, almost in a whimper. "... it... hurts..."
[2008-11-07 21:06:36] <DrakeNero> He pulls out.
[2008-11-07 21:07:13] <DrakeNero> Gets in, starts it and THEN pulls out.
[2008-11-07 21:08:37] <Khayin> "Thank you," the woman says as Drake drives away. "You appeared to have a question tonight. Such a curious cat stands out. What ever could have piqued your interest?"
[2008-11-07 21:09:03] <DrakeNero> "I'm just a financial consultant."
[2008-11-07 21:09:17] <DrakeNero> "Curiosity kills cats." *but not Dragons, I hope*
[2008-11-07 21:09:24] <Khayin> Fu pulls up to the hospital driveway just after they unload the woman from the ambulance and rush her inside.
[2008-11-07 21:10:07] <Mala> "It'll...be okay." Mala thinks she's heard people use that to make people feel better before. She takes Patricia's hand for good measure. It seemed to work on her mother...
[2008-11-07 21:10:25] <Fu> Fu sighs in relief, and takes a deep breath before attempting to run with them to make sure the woman is already. Anyone who gives a look to him as he runs along side as if he was a concerned friend gets a death glare.
[2008-11-07 21:10:45] <Khayin> "Indeed," the woman says. "But a cat has nine lives. Moreso if it is smart. Regardless, a financial consultant doesn't take pictures of strange women on balconies. Nor does he stare down a potentially good client."
[2008-11-07 21:11:20] <DrakeNero> He chuckles a bit.

[2008-11-07 21:14:39] <Mala> "Stor...?"
[2008-11-07 21:14:56] <Khayin> The receptionist seems ready to yell at Fu, but his quick glare (accompanied by the presence of something unfathomable behind his eyes) put her right back in her seat with a low squeak. No one stopped him from getting on the elevator after the paramedics.
[2008-11-07 21:15:12] <Khayin> "... wants... stories..."
[2008-11-07 21:16:12] <Khayin> "You dodge questions like a politician, Mr. Nero," the woman says. "But you needn't keep up the pretense. You won't find any trouble from me. In fact, we might be after the same thing."
[2008-11-07 21:16:53] <DrakeNero> "Who sent you?"
[2008-11-07 21:17:07] <Khayin> "Excuse me," a man says, rushing into the elevator with Fu just before the doors close. He seems agitated and taps his foot rapidly as you wait.
[2008-11-07 21:17:10] <Mala> Mala remembers Fu telling her something about fairy tales... but thinks it might be best not to bring it up in front of Mrs. Harris, not to mention any nurses... "Don't worry...we'll take care of it."
[2008-11-07 21:17:26] <DrakeNero> "You're certainly not doing anything to make me trust you."

[2008-11-07 21:20:11] <Khayin> "No, I suppose I'm not," the woman says with no amusement. "No one sent me. I'm a private party and I want what you want -- answers. I trust you've noticed odd things about Pine Falls."
[2008-11-07 21:20:23] <DrakeNero> "Naturally."
[2008-11-07 21:20:50] <Khayin> "Lucky charm?" the man in the elevator asks without looking at Fu. "Yeah, I usually carry my rabbit's foot when I come here. Never know what bad news is coming."
[2008-11-07 21:21:26] <Fu> "It tends to help me feel close to one of my friends who tends to be well-rooted, even when her head is in the clouds."
[2008-11-07 21:21:29] <Mala> Mala assumes Patricia's talking about the 'he' again, since everyone present appears to have the regular complement of digits...
[2008-11-07 21:22:11] <Khayin> Mrs. Harris doesn't seem to understand her daughters words and again looks to Mala as if for answers. "Do you... understand what she's saying?"
[2008-11-07 21:23:35] <Khayin> "I can see things from certain angles in this place," the woman continues. "I think you can see from others."
[2008-11-07 21:23:38] <Mala> "Well, she isn't making much sense..."
[2008-11-07 21:23:45] * Fu glances down at the man's hands to see if he finds the rabbit's foot.
[2008-11-07 21:24:56] <DrakeNero> "You're in the back seat and I'm in the front, so certainly."
[2008-11-07 21:25:05] <Khayin> The elevator opens up and the man walks out, wringing his hands which are bereft of a rabbit's foot. Swiftly, he walks down a familiar corridor with a flickering light.
[2008-11-07 21:25:44] <DrakeNero> "And maybe we have more differences in perspective."
[2008-11-07 21:25:56] <Fu> Is he on the same floor as Patrica?
[2008-11-07 21:27:18] <Khayin> "I'm glad you find this humorous enough to joke, Mr. Drake. We have three murders and two assaults in the last two months. I do not see an end to the attacks and I wish to root out the perpetrator or perpetrators responsible. Is my intention clear enough for you now?"
[2008-11-07 21:27:23] <Khayin> Yes
[2008-11-07 21:28:30] <Fu> Fu slips out of the elevator as well.
[2008-11-07 21:29:04] <DrakeNero> "Yes, it is."
[2008-11-07 21:29:06] <Fu> He keeps almost perfectly still in the nearest shadow waiting a short time because making his way after the man silently.

[2008-11-07 21:30:36] <Khayin> "In this case, yes," the woman concludes. "Head for the hospital. I think you are supposed to learn something there."
[2008-11-07 21:30:54] <DrakeNero> "What should I call you, mysterious ally?"
[2008-11-07 21:31:39] <Khayin> "Anna," she replies. "That will do fine."
[2008-11-07 21:31:55] <DrakeNero> "Have you been calling my phone, Anna."
[2008-11-07 21:32:26] <Khayin> The man does not notice Fu behind him and hurriedly rushes to the room Fu remembers from a few weeks ago.
[2008-11-07 21:32:38] * Fu murmurs 'oh boy.'
[2008-11-07 21:33:08] * Fu just waits beside the door, in case he hears any trouble.
[2008-11-07 21:33:11] <Khayin> The door to the room swings open and Mrs. Harris turns to see her husband enter. "How is she?" he asks, looking between his wife and Mala.
[2008-11-07 21:33:41] <Khayin> There is a bit of silence before Anna replies. "No."
[2008-11-07 21:35:08] <DrakeNero> He nods.

[2008-11-07 21:39:03] <Khayin> The drive to the hospital isn't terribly long considering how remote the Franklin estate was from the rest of the town. Traffic was virtually non-existent. Pulling up to the driveway, Anna speaks up again. "Your friends are in Patricia Harris's room. She is going to say something important, so I suggest you hurry. I would like to ask you something before you leave, though."
[2008-11-07 21:39:12] <Khayin> "How many fingers were held up?"
[2008-11-07 21:41:20] <Khayin> "... trees..." Mala hears Patricia muttering again. "... in... trees..."
[2008-11-07 21:41:29] <DrakeNero> "Three."
[2008-11-07 21:41:56] <Khayin> Anna was silent for a moment. "Thank you, Mr. Nero. I will not be here when you return."
[2008-11-07 21:41:58] <Mala> >___>; Mala hopes nobody's going to ask her if she has something to do with this...
[2008-11-07 21:42:03] <DrakeNero> "Will I see you again?"
[2008-11-07 21:42:30] <DrakeNero> "And if you do call, make sure I know its you, somehow. I don't answer otherwise."
[2008-11-07 21:42:31] <Khayin> "Yes, but you will have to tell me that we have met."
[2008-11-07 21:42:52] <DrakeNero> He nods.

[2008-11-07 21:59:52] <Khayin> All of a sudden, the door opened up again, revealing none other than Drake with Fu behind him. "Who the hell are... you?" Mr. Harris yells, taken aback.
[2008-11-07 22:00:19] <Mala> "Oh. Hey Drake. Hey Fu. What are you guys doing here? o.o "
[2008-11-07 22:00:32] <Fu> Fu waves slightly at Mala, wincing at Mala saying his fae name.
[2008-11-07 22:00:38] <DrakeNero> "I'm a professor at the university."
[2008-11-07 22:00:47] <Fu> "Didn't think you'd be here, Mal. ^_^;"
[2008-11-07 22:01:02] <DrakeNero> "Professor Nero. From the college of business."
[2008-11-07 22:01:23] <DrakeNero> "I'd heard one of our students was laid up here and I rushed over."
[2008-11-07 22:01:52] <Khayin> "... I... see," Mr. Harris says, confused but apparently willing to accept what Drake says as truth. "Well, she... she's awake. That's good."
[2008-11-07 22:02:01] <DrakeNero> If he weren't OBVIOUSLY a person of important status, this would probably be a tissue-thin lie.
[2008-11-07 22:02:03] * Fu moves quietly to be next to Mala and asks softly, "How is she?"
[2008-11-07 22:03:48] <Mala> "Confused. But..." She whispers while Patricia's parents are talking to Drake, "I think she saw him."
[2008-11-07 22:04:16] * Fu pales.
[2008-11-07 22:04:51] <Fu> "Him as some mention your..." He reaches out to tap a leaf.
[2008-11-07 22:05:53] <Mala> "The one who did it...and the others."

[2008-11-07 22:07:19] <Fu> "!":
[2008-11-07 22:07:35] <Fu> Yes, he makes a very startled little exclaimation point.
[2008-11-07 22:08:06] <Khayin> "Your niece has been very kind, Mr. Drake," Mrs. Harris says. "Our Patricia feels better when she's around, I think."
[2008-11-07 22:08:08] <Fu> "... Others?"
[2008-11-07 22:08:16] <DrakeNero> "I'm glad to hear it."
[2008-11-07 22:08:35] <Khayin> (Roll Perception, anyone)

[2008-11-07 22:09:57] <Khayin> While conversing, Mala and Fu notice something odd about Patricia.
[2008-11-07 22:10:19] <Khayin> With everyone gathering around, she has become slightly more panicked. And her eyes are darting rapidly between Mala, Fu, and Drake.
[2008-11-07 22:10:29] <Fu> ...
[2008-11-07 22:10:53] <Mala> "It's okay," Mala whispers to her. "They're my friends."
[2008-11-07 22:11:24] <Khayin> "... what... are..."
[2008-11-07 22:11:29] <Fu> Fu speaks in a just as gentle voice, "We are trying to help." He DEFINITELY hides his hands.
[2008-11-07 22:11:50] * DrakeNero has horns, if she can see them... not much hiding them
[2008-11-07 22:11:57] <Khayin> "... just..."

[2008-11-07 22:12:40] <Khayin> "What is she saying?" Mr. Harris asks, moving closer to his daughter.
[2008-11-07 22:12:42] <Fu> He is talking soft enough to not interrupt Drake and the older adults' talk.
[2008-11-07 22:13:13] <Khayin> "... just like him..." she repeats, a bit steadier.

[2008-11-07 22:15:41] <Khayin> Patricia calms herself a bit, though her eyes still dart between the three Lost with an almost unreadable expression.
[2008-11-07 22:16:20] <Khayin> "I think she's getting overcrowded," one of the nurses says. "Some of you are going to have to leave."

[2008-11-07 22:17:19] <Mala> "Why don't we give her parents some time?" she says, looking at Drake and Fu.
[2008-11-07 22:17:40] <Khayin> It almost looks like she finds this all funny.
[2008-11-07 22:17:45] <Fu> "Yeah, you met her at school, correct?"
[2008-11-07 22:18:28] * Mala nods.
[2008-11-07 22:18:34] * DrakeNero nods.
[2008-11-07 22:19:38] <Khayin> "Mala, do you have a phone number we can get a hold of you with if Patricia improves?"
[2008-11-07 22:19:41] <Khayin> Mrs. Harris asks
[2008-11-07 22:19:45] <Fu> "Therefore, we will see you later at school then, Miss Harris. I'm a friend of Mala's, Ryan." He holds a hand on Mala's shoulder and /grips/ as he adds, "A few of my friends get away with calling me Fu."
[2008-11-07 22:21:12] <Mala> "I..haven't gotten a phone yet. >_> " She can tell that this is one of those things she should have but didn't know about.
[2008-11-07 22:21:32] * Fu glances at Drake.
[2008-11-07 22:21:50] <DrakeNero> "Maybe for your birthday, sweetie."
[2008-11-07 22:22:17] * Fu smirks.
[2008-11-07 22:22:21] <Khayin> "Oh," she says, disappointed. "Well... maybe I could call you, Mr. Nero? If that's not too much trouble..."
[2008-11-07 22:22:44] <DrakeNero> "Certainly."
[2008-11-07 22:23:25] <Fu> "And if really needed, Mr. Nero can drag me into it like he did tonight."
[2008-11-07 22:24:12] <Khayin> She gives him her number (Roll Intelligence + Composure, please, Drake) and smiles at Mala. "Thank you for everything, dear. Our Patricia has never had as devoted a friend as you."
[2008-11-07 22:24:14] <DrakeNero> He gives her his house number.
[2008-11-07 22:24:18] <Mala> "And I'll keep coming to see her. o_o I mean, if that's okay..."

[2008-11-07 22:24:52] <Fu> "If you had told me you were walking here, Mala, I would have driven here..."
[2008-11-07 22:25:04] <Mala> "It's not that far.. "
[2008-11-07 22:25:39] <Fu> "But it's faster if I drive."
[2008-11-07 22:25:49] <Mala> "I guess..."
[2008-11-07 22:26:39] <Khayin> It should be an easy number to remember. 888 is the same three starting digits as Mr. Franklin's cell and home numbers.
[2008-11-07 22:27:16] <DrakeNero> *The Illuminati have a family plan. How cute.*
[2008-11-07 22:28:17] <Khayin> The nurse clears her throat, indicating a quick departure would be preferable as she continues administering to Patricia.
[2008-11-07 22:28:38] <DrakeNero> He nods and steps out of the room.
[2008-11-07 22:29:02] * Mala follows. >_>
[2008-11-07 22:29:12] * Fu waves goodbye as he leaves.

[2008-11-07 22:30:03] <Mala> "...who's agrue? Do I know him?"
[2008-11-07 22:30:13] <DrakeNero> He shakes his head.
[2008-11-07 22:30:30] <Fu> "Oh, it's just a comment more for Drake than for you."
[2008-11-07 22:30:44] <Mala> "Oh. Okay..."
[2008-11-07 22:31:14] <Fu> "I'll tell you all about old computer games another day, this time... we probably should go somewhere and discuss what we have figured out tonight, if anything."
[2008-11-07 22:31:29] <DrakeNero> "Twenty-four-hour diners are good for that sort of thing."
[2008-11-07 22:32:01] <Mala> "Patricia had some things to say... I think she was trying to tell me who did this..."
[2008-11-07 22:32:12] <DrakeNero> "You should tell us in detail, later."
[2008-11-07 22:32:15] <Fu> "I think she can see us."
[2008-11-07 22:32:33] <Fu> Fu says this with a deadpan ^_^ as he walks.
[2008-11-07 22:32:55] <Mala> "Well, yeah. But she was really creeped out by it at first... I wonder why she didn't recognie me."
[2008-11-07 22:33:17] <DrakeNero> "I did kiss her, at your suggestion."
[2008-11-07 22:33:27] <Fu> "... you really think that did it?"
[2008-11-07 22:33:35] <DrakeNero> "I saw that it did."
[2008-11-07 22:33:57] * Fu blinks, a look of confusion on his face.
[2008-11-07 22:34:44] <DrakeNero> "Once again, we'll talk about this later."
[2008-11-07 22:34:59] * Fu nods as he walks with them, thinking.
