Big City RPG: Yup, Here We Go Again!

[Corenat Rovarnus]

"Yes, let's be off everyone." Kobe-Juan takes up his cane and will lead the way to Maf Dili's residence.

[Kaede]

Taking her paperwork Fu nods and heads home. After preparing for the next day & changing into less conspicuous clothing, she heads towards the home of Jonis. When she gets there she looks around for anyone who might be watching the place. (Perception check)

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Wait, wait; we're supposed to use the buddy system. You know the rules, and so do I."
Patrick rushes after Fu.

[Kaede]

"Then I suggest you get changed into some less conspicuous clothing and meet me at the house of blooms dorm. " Saying that Fu goes about what she was going to do.

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Ok, one second"
Patrick uses the locker room to change into casual clothes before rushing after Fu.

[Kaede]

As she's leaving Fu turns to Patrick, an annoyed look on her face. "I don't know if you know this, but it is rude to follow a lady to her house. As I said I'll meet up with you at the blooms dorm." Saying that she goes about her business, using her skills in stealth to lose Patrick if he tries to keep follow.

[Dave]

Osein Stroopwafel clenches his teeth and stands up out of the chair, precariously. He smiles.

"I'm off to the Golden Goose. A casino to investigate? Count me in."

His smile sours.

"And I suppose one of you will need to accompany me? Don't worry," he adds unironically, "I'm actually a very friendly person. As long as you're not too womanly or childish."

[SilkScarf]

"Shall we all meet back here at the end of the day, then?"

Simpette smiles sweetly at Osein, and tags along to the Golden Goose. "I may be a little too much woman for you to handle, but I'm sure we'll get along just peachy." She gathers her things as she's about to leave, but not before taking a good look around the Constabulary and recalling its layout.

OOC: can we get a description of the constabulary?

[The Lord Kelvin]

"All right, all right. Relax. You seem to have an idea in mind, so I want to make sure we can discuss a bit before we split and regrouup later at the blooms dorm."

[Kaede]

"I'm going to go to the victims homes, look around the general area to see if anyone suspicious is keeping a look out at the areas they used to live to make sure no one tries to look deeper into their disappearances, afterwards I was going to go to a local bar or two to dig up any rumors I can find about the last two victims."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Sounds like a plan."
Patrick splits off and heads towards the dorms.

[Kaede]

Fu goes about her business and when done heads to the blooms dorms. Before meeting up with Patrick she investigates the area surrounding the dorms for any suspicious activity or suspicious people keeping an eye on the surrounding area, all the while using her stealth skills to blend into the surrounding people so she isn't noticed. (Skill & perception check)

[The Lord Kelvin]

Upon reaching the dorms, Patrick finds a seat somewhere and uses his skill to check all the wooden containers in the area for anything resembling living humans inside them.

[Xenoe]

(Boy, a three way split, amazing.)

The group discusses their plans, and agrees on a three way split to cover the most ground. As they're filing out of the building, Simpette makes note to marvel at the architectural wonder that is the constabulary. The building is two storied, with the exterior covered in marble tiles, there is a strip of marble below the gently pitching, white tiled roof that is singular in nature, upon which is carved a symmetrical relief of mythical creatures.

The grand door frame to the constabulary’s double doors towers above the common individual, and are similarly decorated.

The ground floor of the constabulary has an exceptional ceiling clearance for an administrative building, ten, no perhaps twelve feet high, with plaster colored walls.

A series of fairly minimalistic ink landscape paintings hang around the front lobby, behind which the lounge, the kitchen, the supply and locker room, the restrooms, and a series of offices for the on duty officers are situated.

Heading up the stairs are the offices for the higher ranking officers, a second, larger lounge, the tearoom, the two large meeting rooms, and the offices for the secretarial staff, like Lirus.

On the way out Patrick makes sure to get changed out of his officer uniform, which normally consists of an embroidered crimson silk vest, and a grey beret hat. He, however, only has the vest to contend with as the beret got in the way of his sweet hairstyle, and is quickly able to dress in a more casual fare. Also left behind is his conspicuous and heavy police saber.

Kaiwaka and his master are already un-uniformed, dressed in single colored robes, and are able to immediately head towards their destination of Maf Dili's residence. Kobe-Juan perhaps had hoped that more people would join him, but alas he will be only accompanied by his disciple as the others had different plans in mind.

Instead of keeping a spare change of clothes in her locker, Fu likes to wear her uniform to work and so she heads home to change.

Osein has already forgotten his saber at home, and pays no mind to his fraying vest. The tip of his crumpled beret can be seen peeking out from his left pocket, almost begging to fall out.

He is also joined by Simpette, who is wearing the standard fare, but has the blouse under her vest cut a bit too low, perhaps even lower than regulations will allow, and is wearing jewelry and makeup, making her look more like a sex worker than an actual police officer.

(Kobe-Juan's team)

Maf Dili's home is small linked home in the (poor) residential district. It may be called the residential district, but the wealthy lived elsewhere. The house was small, sure, but not displeasing to look upon, for all buildings built in Mansiil must be built to strict guidelines. The families of the poorer laborer classes tended to be larger, and to have such so many people crammed into such a small space seemed like an uncomfortable proposition.

Kobe-Juan has a quick look around the immediate surroundings, and notes that there're only a couple of housewives and extremely young children in the neighborhood. Most of the men and older children have gone off to work at this time of day.

The elder gentleman quickly opens the door with the spare key obtained from the landlord as evidence.

He notes that the inside of the home has been left in pristine condition. Maf was most likely a conscientious individual who liked to keep her property organized, as the limited space of the home has been kept in a manner that made use of every inch of floor space.

The insides of the stove in the kitchen was clean as well, there being no soot in the place that the firewood should go.

\\\

(Osein's team)

Osein and Simpette, and odd duo for sure, and one that catches many eyes along the way, make their way to section 5.

Although section 5 is adjacent to the section 6 in which the group resides, the entire metropolis is divided into only eight sections, and thus the distance is considerable.

When they finally made it there, it was already around noon, and Osein and Simpette both feel a little hungry, but nonetheless they walk into the casino and are greeted by a man with an absolutely amazing hat.

"Hello Sir, and Madam. Our bar is closed during the day, but if you wish to stay and play you are still welcome. Would you like some chips?"

A brief look around the establishment reveals that there are only a few delinquent looking individuals lingering around the premises. There might be some additional, wealthier customers in the private rooms in the back, but Osein and Simpette can't see any from where they are standing.

Most people are at work during this time of day, and it is reflected in the limited customer base.

\\\

(Fu's team)

Having originally decided to visit Jonis' residence, Fu changes her mind after her conversation with Patrick and agrees to meet him at the House of Blooms dorms.

She does a little roundabout to her home while Patrick heads straight towards the House of Blooms employee dormitory. Patrick arrives around a quarter of an hour earlier than Fu, and as he's standing outside waiting, he starts immediately getting a feel for the lay of the land(barrels) with his powers.

Patrick senses a large concentration of wooden containers in area around him, but that is only natural as he is currently in the Commerce district. By concentrating on the dorms and the immediate area surrounding, he is able to glean their nature and contents there are wardrobes and dressers, filled with their natural contents. Reams upon reams of cloth and sewing supplies. Small boxes, some filled with cosmetics and others with small amounts of cash. Trash bins holding... trash. Thin boxes holding tools used for "nightly pleasure", and some crates holding fresh produce.

There is one noted wardrobe in the store holding people, out of the many able sized containers, and there’s not one but two people inside. They seem to be kissing, however, and not there against their will.

Fu manages to stealthily make her way from her home to the House of Bloom dorms, as stealthily as one can do so in the city in broad daylight. That is to say she just walked there in the open like every other of the thousands of people hustling along the streets. On the way there she tries to keep an eye out for any suspicious figures, but among the crowds of people it is particularly difficult to discern one person from the next.

There are a couple hoodlums in the alleyways here and there, and they look naturally suspicious to Fu, so she make's note of their locations and continues on her way for now.

Most of the workers at the House of Blooms are at work right now, so the dorms are empty. There’s the option of asking around or heading directly to the dorms.

[Kaede]

(figured I'd ask, how much money do we start with?)

Seeing nothing of note, Fu heads towards where Patrick is at. "Sorry for the wait, already did a preliminary search of the area, and besides local thugs nothing seems out of the ordinary."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Great, I can also confirm we have no one in the area using the infamous 'solid snake' maneuver. I guess we're free to go around asking about Ms. Dalrus, then."

[Xenoe]

(The three units of currency in Shorgee are Quarts, Ounces, and Drams. An 1 Quart = 40 Ounces = 320 Drams. One Ounce is ~ 1 USD. PC's have a monthly budget of 100 Quarts. Foreign currency is referred to as 'Dollars' with the country of origin prefixed. Exchange rates will be mentioned on an as need basis.)

[Dave]

Osein replies: "Of course I want some chips, what do you take me for?"

"I want to play with the regulars. People who are here more often than not."

He seems to remember he's not alone.

"This here's... what was your name again? I imagine she'll be doing whatever it is that women do at casinos. If she bothers you, let me know and I'll be sure to congratulate her."

[Kaede]

"Sounds good to me, I'd like to take a look around her room to see if the other officers missed anything."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Cool, I'll follow your lead. You're probably more familiar with what might stand out in a girl's room."

[Xenoe]

(Osein's team)

"Sure thing Sir, our chips are denominated in Shorgee Ounces, with 1 being the minimum. How much woudl you like?"

///

(Fu's team)

Fu presents her warrant to the the dorm mother, and gains entry into Simpette Dalrus' dorm room, which has been sealed by several layers of red police tape.

The inside of Simpette's dorm room is somewhat messy. Along the left wall is what seems to be a florist's worktable, with several different types of vases lined up, some are filled with different floral arrangements, and some remain empty. Some of the flowers are starting to wilt, and to the left of the table is a trash bin filled with decaying plant matter and scraps of colored paper.

On the other side of the room is a simple bed and a small wooden dresser. Next to the dresser is a stack of floral print dresses and undergarments, piled up haphazardly. Judging by the texture and smell, it seems the dresses are due to be washed. Inside the dresser are more floral print dresses and undergarments, and a crumpled bunch of receipts to the dresses. It's hard to tell the dress that each receipt corresponds with, but Fu sees that the dresses are all second hand goods gotten for rock bottom prices.

The sheets on the bed have been folded, but very poorly. Fu feels around on the bed and covers for any hidden objects, and finds nothing in both the thin sheets and straw mattress.

Fu looks under the bed, and manages to pull out a small wooden box, she opens it to find only a couple of Dram coins, some cheap cosmetics, and some receipts for what looks to be her gambling debt, which totals 560 Ounces, and incurs a 10% monthly interest, all owed to the Golden Goose.

[Kaede]

Fu looks around the room for any hidden compartments, or a diary. (perception check)

[Xenoe]

Fu taps around the room with her foot and fingers, and does not find any secret compartments.

Not feeling satisfied, she shuffles through the trash bin as a last resort. She finds some crumped papers and a couple of dead cockroaches at the bottom of the bin. She opens up the balled up paper to reveal what a bunch of letters and numbers arrayed in a confusingly messy manner, with arrows indicating some sort of relationship between the characters.

After a bit of thought though, it becomes obvious that all the numbers and letters seem to match up to the faces of cards in a deck of Reindeer, which is used in many different popular Dflen card games.

[The Lord Kelvin]

Patrick taps into his barrel sense to search the room for any illegal 'substances'.

[Xenoe]

The wooden containers in the vicinity do not seem to be holding any controlled substances.

[Kaede]

"It's odd that there's no journal or day planner, I know some dorm mothers have their tenants turn over a record of where they have been maybe she has a such a record." Fu goes over to the dorm mother and inquires about just that.

[Corenat Rovarnus]

Kobe-Juan's trained eyeballs rolled carefully around the room, taking in the sights and sounds. This isn't how he had expected his new team to turn out, but he would be remiss if he did not do his part nonetheless.

"Well then. The absence of soot in the stove could be in line with the victim's penchant for cleanliness, or indicate that she did not cook for herself." The wise master gets a feel for the room's alignment, how the mysterious energy that pervades the universe flows through it. "There are no signs of a struggle, so Ms. Dili was either coerced into leaving peacefully or some dread thaumaturgy was performed that she was powerless to resist. Come, my apprentice. We shall do a standard sweep, and leave no stone un-turned."

Dividing the residence in half among them, Kobe-Juan and Sana-kin will perform a thorough search of the area, keeping an eye out for any pieces of literature the victim may have read or written, and signs of either some secret passageway or arcane ritual being performed. They will take care to put everything back in place afterwards.

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Even if there's no diary, we can at least ask the dorm mother about the situation. Maybe she noticed some strange behavior or events that've occurred."
Patrick follows Fu to the dorm mother.

[Xenoe]

Patrick arrives at the same conclusion as Fu, there are no hidden compartments in the room.

OOC: that's not what I'm searching for; should I be assuming there are no drugs in any wooden storage containers?

(fixed)

\\\
(Fu's team)

Fu goes and asks the the dorm mother for the check in check out record.

"Simpette's a nice girl, but that gambling habit of hers really dragged her down," says the dorm mother as she sighs, handing you the ledger, "I've warned her multiple times about going to such disreputable places, but since she usually returns before curfew and respects the rules, I thought maybe it wouldn't be so big of a deal. After all, unlike other cities, Mansiil has a very active night scene, and the streets are busy with people all the way until midnight."

After receiving the ledger, Fu flips through the pages. Every page represents a day, and has lines upon lines of checkins and checkouts, with a brief reason written if the time is particularly close to curfew. Overall Fu learns that Simpette tends to go "shopping" once or twice a month, and tends to skirt the 22:00(time is written in military time) curfew on those days by as little as a single minute at times.

It is estimated that it takes at least two hours hours to walk to the Golden Goose from where the dorms are, and work typically ends at 18:00 for the House of Blooms, leaving no time to actually enjoy herself. So either Simpette is a seasoned marathon runner, or she typically takes one of the taxi carriages that runs along the main roads.

\\\

(Kobe-Juan)

The older gentleman looks around the residence for anything that might have been written or read by Maf Dili. He is in luck for he finds a small shelf with a series of mismatched tomes. Although the printing press has been around for a while now, literacy still wasn't prevalent in the lower classes, and so its a little surprising to find a considerable collection in the hands of a waitress.

He casually flips through the well worn pages of a random tome. It's a smut novel. He flips to the back cover and see's that the publishing date was a mere six cycles ago(eight cycles in a year).

He places the book back and flips through the rest of the shelf.

A around a third of the bookshelf contains smut romance all worn from use, two volumes of cooking notes, hand written, another third of the shelf is devoted to study materials for the Imperial scholar examination, three volumes of tea guides, and three volumes of poetry anthologies.

All of the books, besides the cooking notes, are in their original print, and are almost unmarred.

Unable to immediately glean any useful information, Kobe places the last volume back in its original location, and just as he's about to go check elsewhere, he hears a light rustling sound. Looking to the source, he finds three live cockroaches attempting to consume two of their dead brethren. Nature, how quaint.

Undisturbed by a couple of insects, Kobe-Juan then heads towards Maf's small writing desk. In the little drawer underneath are some study notes, a couple pages of what look to be novel manuscripts, some half baked poems, most left unfinished, and a couple of semi-romantic correspondences with a pen-pal whose signature reads 'Jorfi'. The writing matches the two volumes of cooking notes in the bookshelf.

Kobe-Juan then attempts to find any secret passages by tapping the floorboards, walls, and looking for any mechanisms, but is unsuccessful. The house seems solidly built to code, and is without any unregulated additions.

Kobe-Juan meets up with his disciple, who disappointedly shakes his head.

"I couldn't find anything of note Master, no secret passages or anything of the like. The only thing that was strange was that there was not a single pair of shoes to be found in the house. If the criminal abducted the girl in this very house, why would he steal the shoes as well? "

[Corenat Rovarnus]

Kobe-Juan strokes his beard. "It could be that she only had the one pair, having put the remainder of her funds towards necessities and her education. And what an education this young lady has had! There was surely a bright future awaiting Ms. Dili, I cannot imagine why she would willingly throw that away. Perhaps this 'Jorfi' would know more."

[Assuming this name does not ring a bell] Kobe-Juan and his disciple will seek out Maf Dili's friend Wanmi Rufu to inquire about Jorfi.

[Dave]

Osein thinks for a moment, then says "I'll start with 200 chips. I'll be back for more if I need any." He pulls his wallet out of his pocket and fishes out 200 ounces.

"While I have you here, do you take credit? I don't carry much money with me, and I may be here a while."

[Kaede]

"Has she been mentioning any problems to you lately? Any problems with her personal life or at work?"

[Xenoe]

(Kobe-Juan)

Seeing that there wasn't much more to be gleaned from Maf Dili's residence, the older gentleman and his disciple exit, and seal the door.

The home address of Wanmi Rufu is quite close by, but it turns out nobody is home. That is quite natural, however, and so the pair head off to the Leburee Rotisserie.

They find Wanmi on shift, but manage to obtain a few minutes of her time.

"Did you find Maf? No? Ah..." She looks disappointed when told that the investigation is ongoing, but is able to answer Kobe-Juan's questions about Jorfi.

"Yeah, Maf has told me about Jorfi. I remember she said he was a schoolteacher in the neighboring county, and that they were going to get together when Maf passes the Imperial exams. Sometimes Maf asks me for advice when writing letters to him, so I remember his address was Skylark Way, Mastimo Town, Traki County."

\\\
(Osein)

The man in the funny hat takes the cash he is offered, and hands Osein a stack of chips equalling to 200 ounces in value.

"Sorry, but we do not extend credit to new customers. You must spend at least 1000 ounces at our establishment to receive our credit services."

As per Osein's request to play with the regulars, the man points Osein to one of the tables in the back.

There's five men at the table, including the dealer, and they seem to be casually playing some sort of card game. One of them, a tall lanky man, whistles when he sees Osein come to the table.

"A new face! Hope you know how to play, it'd be no fun if you can't even last an hour. Well, since you're the newcomer, how bout we go easy on you and let you pick the game to play?"

The rest of the men at the table seem to laugh in agreement. Osein sees that the table he's at is the standard card table, and that the dealer is currently holding a deck of Reindeer cards, so the most obvious choices would be Reindeer Herding, or King of the Herd.

There are also dice, a set of Tea Sticks, a type of traditional Shorgee gambling implement, and a couple of other items Osein is not immediately familiar with under the table.

\\\

(Fu)

The dorm mother thinks for a moment before saying:

"Well she didn't exactly said anything, but she seemed sort of on the edge, and tired these past few days. Her neighbor, Debi Doner, knows Simpette better than me, so maybe you'll have more luck with her."

[Kaede]

"I thank you for your time ma'am. Do you know when Debi will come back here?"

[Corenat Rovarnus]

Kobe-Juan looks troubled. Traki County! Now that would be a day trip, at least. Perhaps if the other leads don't pan out...

"Ah, young love. It seems she really did have her whole life set out before her. Before we take our leave, I have a rather bizarre question: How many pairs of shoes did Ms. Dili own?"

[Xenoe]

(Fu)

"Work ends at 18:00, so unless Debi has any prior arrangements, which she shouldn't today, she should be back around that time."

\\\

(Kobe-Juan)

Wanmi thinks a bit before saying:

"Hmm, I recall that besides the single pair of flats she wears every day, she owns a fancy pair of platforms for special occasions. I really liked how they looked, but I could never wear platforms myself. They really hurt my feet, and I can't ever get used to the feeling."

[The Lord Kelvin]

Patrick checks the ledger for any other regular activities/locations other than 'shopping'.
"Thank you for the information, Ma'am. Perhaps we can investigate other areas until 18:00. Maybe somewhere else Simpette often frequents."

[Xenoe]

There's usually no reason included if the check in time is not particularly late, so Patrick isn't able to discern what Simpette is up to on her normal days.

He does notice, however, her name appearing right next to Debi's, and one other Miffle Horisti's frequently, along with concurrent check in times, indicating that those three tend to move together.

[Kaede]

"Once again we thank you for your time ma'am, if you think of anything else please come down to the sixth section station and give a statement. If we hear anything about Simpette we will keep you informed." Saying that Fu heads outside, making a note to return after 18:00. "Well any other place you wanna go to investigate?" She addresses to Patrick after tehy are out of the building.

[Xenoe]

(Here's a brief timeline of the day so far, and temporal location of each divergence.

08:00 Work starts for Mansiil Constabulary.
09:30 Meeting ended, everyone went on their way.

09:50 Patrick Arrives at House of Blooms, 10:05 Fu arrives as well
10:30 Fu's party currently

10:00 Kobe-Juan arrives at Maf Dili's residence
10:40 Kobe-Juan heads towards the Rotisserie
11:00 Kobe-Juan's party currently

12:00 Osein's party currently)

[The Lord Kelvin]

"There don't seem to be any obvious locations from that check-in ledger. Three options come to my mind. We could investigate the House of Blooms business place, in case the institution has any connections to the incident or perpetrator. We could go back to the constabulary to look up information on Debi Doner and Miffle Horisti, who seems to have interacted a decent amount with Simpette despite the dorm matron neglecting to mention her. We could regroup with another of our squadmate duos and try to consolidate information. Any other ideas you have in mind? I think you said you had some contacts you wanted to work through, right?"

[Corenat Rovarnus]

"I see. Well, thank you for your time, Ms. Rufu. We'll let you know if we find your friend." Kobe-Juan departs the Rotisserie, thinking about how Maf Dili's shoes had apparently disappeared at the same time as her. "Well, onto the next victim."
He and Sana-kin head over to Jonis Jorgi's house.

[Kaede]

"Contacts was a nice way of saying going to nearby bars, in this case the casino she has debts to, and bribing the bartender to get some info. I'll leave it up to you about what we do, seeing as coming here was my idea."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Lets go back to the constabulary and look up Debi and Miffle's files then. We'll probably only use up a bit of time doing so; so I think we can fill in the rest of the time until 18:00 trying to gain information through the wisdom of the local pubs. We can even leave a note at base to let the others know we're barhopping as a way to let them know where we might be able to regroup and share information."

[Kaede]

"Might be best to leave that for later, most bars won't be open this early."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"Lets regroup and share information with another group after finding Debi and Miffle's files then; perhaps we can discuss with Kobe-Juan's group about any commonalities our investigation results."

[Kaede]

"Lets head off then, hopefully we can find them quickly."

[Xenoe]

(Kobe-Juan)

(11:00 -> 11:40)

Seeing as there wasn't much else to be learned from Wanmi, the older gentleman and his disciple decide to bid the waitress farewell, and make their way towards Jonis Jorgi's residence.

When the pair arrives at the address on record, they are surprised to find that it is a single family unit in a relatively nice neighborhood. Certainly, working on the docks is one of the highest paid forms of manual labor, especially in an international trading hub such as Mansiil, so its plausible that Jonis would be able to afford to live in such a place, but it just seems like such a waste to live in such a big house by himself.

The house is rented, however, and so Kobe-Juan was easily able to obtain a spare key from the landlord and begin his investigation inside.

The insides of the house are clean but bare. It's not to say the place the place is lacking in furniture or anything, but lacks a certain sense of home.The kitchen is spotless, and the implements pristine, almost as if they've never been used. It is only when Kobe-Juan makes it into Jonis' bedroom that he actually gets the feeling that someone lives here.

The walls and cabinets are chock full of awards for a large variety of contests, there's some odd trinkets placed here and there on the writing desk, and in a ring around the bedside are scrolls of series of figures in difficult poses. As a seasoned warrior, Kobe-Juan can tell that the figures are actually performing a martial art.

On the bookshelf near the writing desk is a stack of comic scrolls, a few travel guides and some almanacs. The writing desk is devoid of any completed materials, there's only some empty stationary.


\\

(Fu's party)

(10:30 -> 10:50)

The party of two makes their way back to the constabulary and requisitions the files on Debi and Miffle from Lirus.

///

After obtaining the files and reading them over, Fu and Patrick then decide that they wish to meet up with Kobe-Juan's group and share information. The pair remembers that Kobe-Juan mentioned going to Maf Dili's residence, and so they head there as well.

(10:50 -> 11:20)

They miss Kobe-Juan's party, which has headed off to Jonis' house at this time, and thus they are standing outside of Maf Dili's residence deciding what to do next.

[Kaede]

"Anywhere else we need to go? We can always go interview another of the victims family or friends."

[The Lord Kelvin]

"That sounds good to me."
