    Good for that but I think we should be watching from down the street...with Guy out of sight, just in case.

    Oh yeah that was my intention. Drop her off and wait until the EMTs get her. I'd rather not "reporter ODs on cocaine" turn into "reporter stabbed, seen with myserious Frenchman night before"

    We've been careful so far but just in case, Skid, did Guy leave anything behind that might bite you in the ass later? We might look at that before we try and load up the poor girl. Also, are we calling Mason or finding some other mode of transportation? I assume Mason is the most discrete route. I say move to start the process.

    Guy left nothing behind, called you guys from a pay phone, and generally was meticulously careful about leaving any trace he'd ever been there.

    Let's just say Guy knows all about this stuff, and took care of it. :)

    And sure, we can call Mason.

    If I were not such a just and compassionate Keeper, and were willing to let this thing go totally off the rails, I'd make the door into Luchadores bright Yellow.

    It wouldn't be CoC if we didn't go insane and die. Of course the order we do these in is optional. :P

    Yeah, PbP isn't really the most efficient, but it's good for time management.

    Peff, Skid and Marcus, where are you guys going first?

  • rucdocrucdoc Crazy guy in the corner ClassifiedRegistered User regular
    I'm cool with it, gives me more time to think, which means I do stupid things less.

    I'd say we hit up the organ bank then confront Appleton.

  • PeffPeff Registered User regular
    Agreed.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Appleton, yeah.

    So Peff and El Skid- I'm drawing a blank on this one. Anyone want to go first?

  • PeffPeff Registered User regular
    Well, have a good idea on how to present ourselves? I know we need to find out the donor and we know that Dr. Appleton is responsible for trying to delete the information at the hospital . I don't know that we necessarily want to drop the fact that we're investigating Dr. Morgan's heart since someone is clearly trying to cover up its source. Guy seems to be better at the smooth talking than Javier, so we might want to have him actually present us, once we decide who we should be.

    Hopefully that isn't terribly meta...

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Guy has this, guys... Nothing could possibly go wrong. :P

  • Captain MarcusCaptain Marcus now arrives the hour of actionRegistered User regular
    Ok. Dr. Appleton isn't at the organ bank though, so I suppose we should just inquire about the where the heart came from, then go confront Appleton. I doubt the organ bank employees even know who he is.

  • PeffPeff Registered User regular
    Right, I guess the main thing is I'm not sure where to start since Dr. Appleton doesn't work here and our opener with the secretary is basically "Hi, can you tell us which horror from outside space donated one of it's doom-flavored hearts in the last month?"

    Or we can just say that and see what she does...?

    steam_sig.png
  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Wait, doesn't Appleton work here?

  • Captain MarcusCaptain Marcus now arrives the hour of actionRegistered User regular
    No, he's the county coroner. He works at the morgue. He's the one that falsified the report for the organs, where we are at now is the organ bank, where the organs came from.

  • PsychoLarry1PsychoLarry1 Registered User regular
    Appleton deleted the donor files from the hospital and works in the Morgue there. A heart, pancreas, kidneys and liver were removed at the hospital from an unknown donor and sent to this Organ bank, which sent Dr. Morgan's donor heart and a pancreas back to the Hospital. Louisa Hernandez was recovering from a pancreas transplant, but that could just be a coincidence.

  • PeffPeff Registered User regular
    Or doom pancreas...

    Gimme luck and fast talk checks.

    The rest of you need to, y'know, post.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Trying to wrap my head around this, sorry... I guess when in doubt, you seduce the lady in front of you, right?

  • PsychoLarry1PsychoLarry1 Registered User regular
    It certainly ended well last time.

  • rucdocrucdoc Crazy guy in the corner ClassifiedRegistered User regular
    luck and fast talk in that order are

    1d100 → [11] = (11) pass for luck
    1d100 → [66] = (66) fail for talking

    I love how Peff and I aren't actually saying anything of value. Then again, it wouldn't go over well if I whipped out my badge and said "where did these organs come from, the guy we put them in went nutso".

  • PeffPeff Registered User regular
    Yeah...well with how my rolls have been (both here and in my RL 3.5 game) you don't want me doing anything related to persuasive talk :(

    Counter-argument: spectacular failure is the best.

  • Captain MarcusCaptain Marcus now arrives the hour of actionRegistered User regular
    It is! Anyways there is no good reason to lie to this guy. We're from EON, and our mission is to find Dr. Morgan. The thing we shouldn't tell anyone is that we have authorization to gun him down if he makes trouble :p Besides, it's Dr. Appleton's fault the files went missing.
