romania ♔ follow me as i trip the darkness

[coldheritage]

WHO || Myri, Mark, Kat, Nadia Reichenov [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights track down a lead on the girl Decker Greenwall is looking to recruit
WHERE || A concert hall in Romania
WHEN || Early January, 2013 [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam

[ The Durere concert hall is absolutely packed when they make their way into the back after buying their tickets. Most of the people here have crowded the stage, although a few are parked at back tables with drinks casually procured from the bar. It's smoky and dingy and small, and the concert goers are arrayed in a variety of goth-looking ensembles: a sea of black and funky hair styles and piercings stretches out in front of them. The Knights look so abysmally out of place, it's almost funny. ]

Long enough for us to sneak into her dressing room and look for clues?

[witchwoman]

What sort of clues are there to find? Unless she keeps something detailing her parentage, I highly doubt we'll be able to confirm anything...

[shootfirst]

Girl's got a point. We should probably just try to corner her when she comes off stage and beat Laurel & Hardy to the punch.

[witchwoman]

It can't hut to try to look... But maybe someone should stay near the stage just in case the others try to grab her?

[shootfirst]

Mark, why don't you get on that? Guard duty suits you. [ he doesn't seem to know what to make of that, but nods and wanders off again, and kat slings her arm through myri's ] Now to see if we can find it. [ make a search check of 13+ to locate the dressing room! ]

[witchwoman]

[A search of 18 makes Myri the sleuthiest for this task. This must be related to all of her time spent with Finnick and Co. to help her know the way around a backstage area.]

Kat... [She calls out, trying to be quiet still.] Over here.

[shootfirst]

[ kat's head whips to where myri is pointing and she glances around befor sliiiding that way and trying the door behind herself. it clicks open and she puts a finger on her lips and steps in with exaggerated scooby doo style steps.

after a second, she beckons myri inside. ] It's clear.

[ the dressing room isn't particularly large or glamorous at all. there's make-up scattered haphazardly in front of the mirror, and the smell of smoke hangs in the air. clothes are dumped on the floor as if someone was flinging a bunch of outfits aside to pick one out. ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri steps in and looks around. Upon realizing the mess of it, she just... starts digging around for clues (search 16).]

What do you think happened to Mark back there? He doesn't seem the type to enjoy that kind of music.

[shootfirst]

You're right about that much: I know how much Mark loves Britney Spears, after all. [ she tosses some corsets to the side ] It's almost like he was in a trance. It seemed... familiar, somehow.

[ myri would discover a vase on the dresser with a bizarre black rose in it: and a small plain white card with the words "For Alys" on it upon one side and "Look for me tonight" on the other ]

[witchwoman]

[She stops and looks over the flower and the card, turning towards Kat with the flower in one hand and the card in the other.]

There may be a third looking for this girl.

[shootfirst]

Who's Alys?

[witchwoman]

A pet name, perhaps? I can only assume it's meant for our singer, since this is her dressing room...

[shootfirst]

She's a popular lady. Maybe too popular. Something about this screams 'stalker' to me.

[witchwoman]

[Myri looks around nervously.] Maybe we should we go back to find Mark?

[shootfirst]

Mark's a big boy. And/or man-child. [ she plucks the black rose out of the water, holding it aloft ] I mean, really, black?

[witchwoman]

Is there any sort of magic to track who sent it? [Look, as far as she's concerned, Kat's magic has no limits.]

[shootfirst]

Probably? But not any I can... actually do. [ woops. oh hey is that the sound of someone approaching the door o_o ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri is about to speak, but there's the knock, so he freezes. No really she's terrible at this. Instead of hiding, she just sort of... stands there (hide 5 wtf)]

[coldheritage]

[ kat doesn't fare any better, putting the rose back right as the door opens... revealing nadia standing there in the frame.

she directs a question at them... in romanian. o_o]

[witchwoman]

[Note to Self: Bring Gar along for all the missions not in an English speaking country...]

Ex-excuse me?

[shootfirst]

[muttered:] I really have to learn some language spells.

[coldheritage]

[ it's ok, nadia speaks up, albeit in a very thick eastern european accent. her eyes narrow slightly in suspicion. ] I asked who you were... and why you are here.

[witchwoman]

We wanted to talk to you. There's a chance you may be in danger. We're here to help.

[coldheritage]

[ she looks coolly off-put by the suggestion, as if it's not entirely surprising, but a little disturbing to hear from a stranger. ] Talk quickly.

[witchwoman]

[Myri lets out a quick sigh of relief.]

There are men here, dangerous men. They want to take you and force you to help them complete a sinister goal. We can help you get away, but we don't have much time. [She looks to Kat for assistance.]
