mission ♔ i lost my heart under the bridge

♬ Down By the Water - PJ Harvey

WHO || The Japan mission group (however many of you would like to go!) [Closed]
WHAT || A fresh body surfaces.
WHERE || Under a bridge, Hachiōji, Japan
WHEN || Wed, Mar 21st, mid-afternoon
HOW || Actionspam

It's raining in Tokyo, and it has been, at least lightly, ever since the group arrived a few days prior. The police department's offered to set the Knights up in a nearby hotel, which isn't five star by any rate, but has clean towels and leaves mints on the pillows. Except, of course, that Lis'sa advises 'do not disturb' signs at all times. Housekeeping doesn't need to find any of the Knights' gear hanging around.

There's a great deal of paperwork to sort through, files and photographs and information copied by a very grumpy looking secretary and delivered to them upon their arrival. It takes days to sort through, which is enough to give anyone a mild case of cabin fever, but they're free to go explore the city as well, and follow up any leads they might discover.

It's the next Wednesday that a new body is discovered, and the police chief calls to alert Lis'sa so that the Knights can check out the scene, as well. She gathers up whoever volunteers, and heads out that way.

The rest of you suckers can do whatever else you'd like with your day. (Just feel free to make new threads with a subject line label as to what they are for! Staying in the hotel rooting through paperwork, city exploration, hitting the bar before 1pm, whatever.)

All the paperwork...

[attollores]

[Alainn would also spend quite a lot of time helping to sort through all that damn paperwork.

She would appreciate any help that could be had going through the papers, though most of it needs to be translated first before it can be sorted...

They're all going to need a drink after a day or two of this.]

[James would help with that paperwork too, if for the lack of anything else to do that interested him.

Though he also considered it at least marginally fun. Yes his sense of fun is skewed bite him :/

At least he's good at it though as he is working his way methodically through what's near him.]

How are you fairing?

[attollores]

[When she had begun to translate the script it was slow going, and after a while she could be heard to mutter:] "Adreptum Grammatista" [ her eyes flying across the page quickly with her other hand following suit as she made piles of notes in a separate notebook.

Alainn would look to him at his inquiry, a distracted expression clear on her face, but after a second a smile comes followed by a shrugging shoulder.]

Oh, I'm not doing too bad a'tall actually. It's the translating that gets to me, though this spell is helping it go much faster. How about yourself?

[spymaster]

[He's polite and had to ask okay? No seriously James is like that and he couldn't help it, stopping his own note taking to watch her for a moment, shrugging himself. He doesn't mind her muttering though.]

I'm not a spell user as should be obvious, but it is coming. The translating I find is easier then speaking a language.

[attollores]

[She looks at him consideringly a moment, her head cocked slightly to the side with a smile playing on her lips.]

How many languages can you read, if you don't mind my asking?
