HOW || Actionspam

[The Knights have been tasked by Sir Hasmed to investigate accounts of a strange village in Germany where magic is rumored not to function whatsoever.  The town of Heimbach is located in the hills, close to a river, and is watched over by a castle on a rocky outcrop in the center of the town.  The village is peaceful and quiet, the weather serene, and nothing sinister whatsoever about the idyllic view as they pull up their car on the main street, in front of several small shops.]

[ there's actually very little of note???? there are a few very recent articles clipped out, but everything is dated from the last month or so. before that, it's like no fucks were given about anything magic related here. ]

[While Emma works on that, Gold just searches the office for anything that might have gotten lost in the shuffle (search 16). Just to be sure they don't miss anything.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye is thumbing through files, not really looking for any particular subject. Also everything is in German. So she's mostly looking for words that might look close enough to English that could be useful??? She's just running on dumb luck right now (search 21).]

[ she does find something that is half in english! as in it's an order sent in by a company called luckman industries asking for permission to do some kind of excavating. all the responses to it are in german but it looks like it was stamped 'approved'. all the dates are from early this year. ]

Hey. [Faye whisper shouts to get their attention. Also her phone is making a noise. She checks that and looks further concerned/annoyed.]

Couple of things. One, Astrid says if we try to use magic we could end up in the hospital, so that's peachy. Two, I found this. [She holds the paper out for them.] Seems weird that a town like this would use outside work, doesn't it? Small town life is all about keeping it in the family.

[ emma takes it and skims over it, holding it out so gold can do the same beside her. ]

Excavating ... [ her gaze lifts to faye. ] You think maybe they unearthed something?

[undealt]

It's highly possible. We might get more information at the site, itself.

[Better lead than that they had anyway.]

[reallywicked]

Great. Let's rally the troops. [Faye gets her phone back out and texts Astrid: We may have found something. Where are you? ]

[pathology]

[ she texts back promptly: the local bar. i think we found all we're going to find here. she also includes directions to the bar in case they all get lost ... going down the street. ]

[reallywicked]

[fuck you too astrid.]

They're at the bar. If this place wasn't such a shithole, I'd ask if we could stop for a drink first.

[Someone is angry about not being able to use her magic x( ]

[uncurse]

At least they know the best place to go for information.

[ emma shrugs. look they might not be here to fuck around but bars are great for getting people to talk. she folds up the paperwork on the excavation. they're taking it with. ] Astrid might be able to make more of the rest of this. Let's go. [ out of the building !! ]

[reallywicked]

[Faye actually remembers to be polite and shoots Astrid back a quick on our way as they head back out of the town hall. Quicker they get moving, the quicker they can be done here.]

[undealt]

[Yep, sneakin' out of the town hall like bosses. Nothing to see here. Just a family coming back from the bathroom.]
