rome ♔ watch your worlds fade to black

[behindcloseddoors]

♬ three in the morning - homestuck

WHO || Alanna, Kate, Bo, Rose [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a strange series of fires
WHERE || Rome, Italy
WHEN || Jan 15th, evening, almost 6pm [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

The Knights arrive at the scene of the fire several hours after the fact.  It's clearly gutted the building, located in a commercial district of Rome.  Only one fire truck remains, along with several police cruisers and a van marked 'Arson Investigation Unit' in Italian.  The police team seems hard at work combing over the scene.

A small sign in Italian hangs half-legible over the door.  Though the fire is out, the building still smolders, even as water drips from the blackened timbers and stone.

[Bo reaches out at takes the pad, taking a look at the information.]

We'll check it out. It's a good a place to start as any.

[She glances back up.]

Anything else you think we should know?

[behindcloseddoors]

"Just to be careful. Not sure how much experience you have with these mafia types, but they don't forgive easily and they don't forget a face."

[littledhampir]

[Rose straightened at that, looking around at each of the team with a look that can best be described as;

Yeah... about that.]

Good to know.

[trebond]

[ sense motive of 15 has alanna taking a moment to pause and observe rose. yep something just went down. she, too, straightens. ]

Your warning's appreciated. If you learn anything more, send word. [ the phrase is 'call me,' alanna. with a nod and a polite smile, she'll excuse herself, waiting just outside to jump rose about what the hell that was. ]

[killmypatience]

[Kate's also noticing that there's something ... off about that (sense motive 15), but she keeps her smile professional and extends her hand to the arson investigator again.]

Thank you for the information. We'll be in touch.

[succubestie]

[Bo, on the other hand, just nat 20'd hers. Have a look, Dhampir. Rose gonna have so explainin' to do.]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ simone gives kate's hand a firm shake. ] Thank you again for coming out. We'll let you know if our labs turn up anything else.

[trebond]

What was that about? [ alanna asks rose as the team escapes earshot of simone. ]

[littledhampir]

Yeaah... There was an incident in Chicago... Long story short. This face? [Jerking a thumb towards herself.] Chances of them remembering it are pretty good.

[trebond]

Chicago? [ her geography knowledge is 8 cut her some slack. all she knows is that's definitely not where they are. ]

[killmypatience]

It's a city in America.

[Kate exhales slowly. Great. That's one face burned - but it's not something they can't handle.]

So you stay in the car. At least when we're dealing with their contacts.

[littledhampir]

[She looks like she's about to argue but [Roll 11] finally settles for a barely audible groan and borderline dramatic sigh.]

Fine. [A beat, her face suddenly brightening.] So does that mean I get to drive? Ya know, in case you need to get out of there fast.

[trebond]

[ well. alanna would have encouraged rose to stay back at the hotel more than anything else, but she will defer to kate with the knowledge that kate knows this world far better than alanna does, and if she says the car is safe, it likely is. ]

I see no reason you can't, provided you can navigate the city.

[littledhampir]

Isn't that what GPS is for?

[She won't argue if Alanna insists somebody else take the keys. She has the vague sense that nobody ever lets her behind the wheel of a car.

No. Really. It's canon.]

[killmypatience]

[Kate's eyebrows climb a bit before nodding.]

Just don't take us on the wrong way down any one way streets.

[trebond]

It's decided, then. [ and off to the car!! ] Best we get going.

[littledhampir]

Worst case scenario? That's what reverse is for.

[It's possible she was joking at least.]

Works for me. [Not needing to be told twice, Rose heads back the way they came with the others.

Somewhere, Dean Winchester should be feeling his ears burning as a certain Dhampir silently curses him. Apparently, she can blame anything on Boozy. Even the fact that she was too recognizable to the wrong people.]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ someone make a navigate check of 12 to reach the grocer's! and you can start a new thread ]

[littledhampir]

[Nav 17 - aww yeah. Take that Dimitri!]
