[12/17/2014 8:31:43 PM] Rycroft: So, you were outside a warehouse you had a key to, thanks to a precog!

[12/17/2014 8:33:38 PM] Rafe: Rafe is standing behind Ella, who was looking through the door!

[12/17/2014 8:34:43 PM] Ella: Ella is peeking cautiously through the barely-opened door!

[12/17/2014 8:35:47 PM] Rycroft: It is super dark.

[12/17/2014 8:35:56 PM] Rycroft: And smells bad.

[12/17/2014 8:37:32 PM] Rafe: Rafe pinches his nose. "What's *in* there?"

[12/17/2014 8:37:32 PM] Ella: Bleh.

[12/17/2014 8:38:13 PM] Ella: Let's find out.

[12/17/2014 8:38:27 PM] Josie: There aren't any minds there.

[12/17/2014 8:38:32 PM] Rafe: It's gonna be organs, isn't it?

[12/17/2014 8:38:48 PM] Ella: Ella attempts to pull shadows from the room.

[12/17/2014 8:40:08 PM] Rycroft: Roll!

[12/17/2014 8:41:00 PM] Ella: (( 7 ))

[12/17/2014 8:41:22 PM] Rycroft: There's a lot of shadows in there. It's a warehouse.

[12/17/2014 8:43:14 PM] Ella: Ella focuses on the immediate area. (say, about ten meters in.)

[12/17/2014 8:43:34 PM] Rycroft: Okay? To what end?

[12/17/2014 8:44:54 PM | Edited 8:45:00 PM] Ella: (she's trying to increase the ambient light level a bit, to make it easier to see.)

[12/17/2014 8:45:35 PM] Rycroft: Oh. You can conjure magical globes of light now, too!

[12/17/2014 8:45:59 PM] Ella: (oh, right.)

[12/17/2014 8:48:42 PM] Rycroft: So, you move into the warehouse?

[12/17/2014 8:48:58 PM | Removed 8:49:16 PM] Ella: This message has been removed.

[12/17/2014 8:49:39 PM] Ella: Ella slinks cautiously into the warehouse.

[12/17/2014 8:50:22 PM] Rycroft: Slink slink slink! The warehouse mostly empty, except for the stack of bodies piled up in the middle.

[12/17/2014 8:50:36 PM] Ella: Welp.

[12/17/2014 8:51:00 PM] Josie: Josie follows, and then has to turn away from the pile.

[12/17/2014 8:51:01 PM] Josie: Oh god.

[12/17/2014 8:51:04 PM] Rafe: Rafe follows, quietly.

[12/17/2014 8:51:16 PM] Rafe: ...great.

[12/17/2014 8:51:43 PM] Rycroft: Most of them are pretty old. There's about nine.

[12/17/2014 8:52:03 PM] Rafe: Rafe pulls his sleeve up over his hand to cover his nose.

[12/17/2014 8:52:06 PM] Josie: Rafe, are they... do they have sores on them?

[12/17/2014 8:53:26 PM] Rafe: ...you... want me to look. Right.

[12/17/2014 8:53:43 PM] Rafe: Rafe walks slowly towards them, just close enough to check.

[12/17/2014 8:53:59 PM] Josie: ((Ah, the good old days of sexism.))

[12/17/2014 8:54:04 PM] Josie: Well, I can't.

[12/17/2014 8:54:14 PM] Rycroft: Roll, Rafe!

[12/17/2014 8:54:44 PM] Rafe: ((8.))

[12/17/2014 8:55:41 PM] Rycroft: Three have sores! Three  have had their throats torn out. The last two don't have any wounds you can see without getting closer.

[12/17/2014 8:55:57 PM] Rycroft: All of them are dressed rather nattily.

[12/17/2014 8:56:02 PM] Rafe: Three. Guess three for the curse, three were eaten.

[12/17/2014 8:57:04 PM] Rafe: Think this is a sort of nest or something?

[12/17/2014 8:57:11 PM] Josie: Either failed experiments or... or it's not permanent.

[12/17/2014 9:00:23 PM] Josie: In which case he'll just go on killing people.

[12/17/2014 9:00:33 PM] Rycroft: Roll, all of you!

[12/17/2014 9:00:38 PM] Josie: How old are the ones with sores?

[12/17/2014 9:00:47 PM] Ella: (( 4 ))

[12/17/2014 9:00:52 PM] Josie: ((5))

[12/17/2014 9:01:15 PM] Rafe: ((10!))

[12/17/2014 9:01:27 PM] Rafe: I'm an actor... not a doctor.

[12/17/2014 9:01:45 PM] Rycroft: Off the main warehouse floor, you find a small office!

[12/17/2014 9:03:04 PM] Josie: Josie gets the heck in there when Rafe points it out.

[12/17/2014 9:03:15 PM] Josie: Josie needs to get away from the smell. She looks positively green.

[12/17/2014 9:03:40 PM] Ella: Ella follows cautiously.

[12/17/2014 9:04:36 PM] Rycroft: The office is cluttered with old tables covered with metal and mechanical components and a bunch of empty boxes.

[12/17/2014 9:05:33 PM] Josie: ... he must have made the gadget himself? Right here.

[12/17/2014 9:05:53 PM] Josie: ... and vampires must not have a sense of smell. Ugh.

[12/17/2014 9:07:19 PM] Rycroft: The walls are covered with papers, covered with notes and rough schematics.

[12/17/2014 9:09:12 PM] Ella: Ella brings her light over and examines the schematics. (she likely won't be able to make much sense of them, but she's curious.)

[12/17/2014 9:10:38 PM] Rycroft: They apparently are diagrams he came up with for whatever gadget he's using. The notes aren't ust directions/schematics, and are covered with arcane formulae you don't really understand. There's more books, too, again, Theo's own works are in there, along with other books on magitech.

[12/17/2014 9:11:05 PM] Josie: Josie frowns, and grabs a few books.

[12/17/2014 9:11:06 PM] Rafe: Any idea?

[12/17/2014 9:11:18 PM] Josie: No, not really.

[12/17/2014 9:11:57 PM] Josie: Josie picks up some of the notes, too. "We should ask Theo. We need to find a phone. ... one out of smelling distance."

[12/17/2014 9:12:21 PM] Josie: I can't tell from this if it's only temporary or if he's found a way to make it permanent.

[12/17/2014 9:12:31 PM] Rafe: Well, it's better than the organs at least.

[12/17/2014 9:14:24 PM] Rycroft: Roll a d10, all of you!

[12/17/2014 9:14:51 PM | Removed 9:15:21 PM] Josie: This message has been removed.

[12/17/2014 9:14:59 PM] Rafe: ((3.))

[12/17/2014 9:15:12 PM] Josie: (( 6-))

[12/17/2014 9:15:12 PM] Rafe: ((AHHH! KILL THE DEVIL!))

[12/17/2014 9:15:23 PM] Ella: (( 8 ))

[12/17/2014 9:16:51 PM] Rycroft: You guys are hunting through the parts and notes. Ella finds a letter! It's written in french.

[12/17/2014 9:18:40 PM] Ella: Ella reads a sentence of it, mispronouncing all the words horribly, then gives up.

"Oh, why am I even- Do you guys know french?"

[12/17/2014 9:19:03 PM] Josie: Yes, a little. I'm sure Rafe does.

[12/17/2014 9:19:06 PM] Rafe: Only the very basics.

[12/17/2014 9:19:16 PM] Rafe: I haven't done a lot of French.

[12/17/2014 9:19:39 PM] Josie: I read it better than I speak it.

[12/17/2014 9:19:39 PM | Edited 9:19:53 PM] Ella: Ella hands somebody the letter.

"Here. Try deciphering this."

[12/17/2014 9:19:56 PM] Rafe: Rafe takes it over to Josie so we can tag-team it!

[12/17/2014 9:21:54 PM] Josie: Josie peers at it!

[12/17/2014 9:27:47 PM] Rycroft: It is correspondence! Remember that? Apparently, Crispin Benedict made some inquiries to an alchemist in Paris, about the whole curse transferrance thing and how to accomplish it. He was adamant in his reply that you could build a device, but such a device would involve some pretty dark arts to but together. You might have to sacrifice a few people to keep it working.

[12/17/2014 9:28:20 PM] Ella: Welp.

[12/17/2014 9:29:20 PM] Josie: Sacrifices.

[12/17/2014 9:29:24 PM] Josie: It runs on sacrificing people.

[12/17/2014 9:29:28 PM | Edited 9:29:34 PM] Rafe: Is this word sunbathing? Oh, sacrifices. That makes more sense.

[12/17/2014 9:30:19 PM] Josie: ... I'm pretty sure most vampires don't sunbathe, Rafe.

[12/17/2014 9:31:31 PM] Rafe: ...probably not.

[12/17/2014 9:31:56 PM] Josie: Aha. It says he has to keep sacrificing people, so it wasn't a one time thing.

[12/17/2014 9:34:05 PM] Rafe: Wonderful. Ptobably this was the first time that he took anyone someone would miss.

[12/17/2014 9:34:44 PM] Josie: Awful.

[12/17/2014 9:34:53 PM] Rycroft: You guys hear voices from outside the office, in the warehouse!

[12/17/2014 9:35:07 PM] Josie: Josie whispers: Maybe he came back here.

[12/17/2014 9:38:38 PM | Edited 9:38:53 PM] Ella: Ella hides under a table or a desk or somewhere, close to the wall, and pulls shadows around herself to obscure herself from view.

[12/17/2014 9:40:03 PM] Josie: Josie hides with Ella and tries to listen in!

[12/17/2014 9:41:27 PM] Rycroft: I assume you put your lights out?

[12/17/2014 9:41:55 PM] Ella: ((yep. ^_^))

[12/17/2014 9:44:04 PM] Rycroft: You hear the voices! Both male. They seem to have flashlights, from the rays of light that occasionally come through the door.

[12/17/2014 9:44:11 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  ....holy shit.

[12/17/2014 9:44:20 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  What? Oh.

[12/17/2014 9:44:38 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  ... that ain't good. Boss is not gonna like this.

[12/17/2014 9:45:29 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  How many? I count... nine. Looks like mostly homeless guys.

[12/17/2014 9:45:34 PM] Josie: Josie thinks at Ella and Rafe: Benedict's people? Or other vampire gangsters?

[12/17/2014 9:47:28 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  ... don't look like he's here, though.

[12/17/2014 9:47:37 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  you know what they're sayin'?

[12/17/2014 9:47:41 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  What?

[12/17/2014 9:47:49 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  That he found a cure.

[12/17/2014 9:47:55 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  For his curse?

[12/17/2014 9:48:09 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  No, for the curse. To being a vampire.

[12/17/2014 9:48:16 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  ... bull hucky.

[12/17/2014 9:48:22 PM] Rafe: Rafe silently raises an eyebrow.

[12/17/2014 9:48:27 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  That's what they're sayin'.

[12/17/2014 9:48:32 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  Who's 'they'?

[12/17/2014 9:50:33 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  People. The other boys searchin the city.

[12/17/2014 9:50:53 PM] Josie: Josie frowns.

[12/17/2014 9:51:12 PM] Josie: Josie thinks at Rafe and Ella: That doesn't seem likely.

[12/17/2014 9:51:50 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  Doubt it. Sounds like some some freak driven nuts by whatever.

[12/17/2014 9:51:55 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  Did you see that?

[12/17/2014 9:51:58 PM] Rycroft: Voice 1:  What?

[12/17/2014 9:52:16 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  Nothin, thought I saw.... gah!

[12/17/2014 9:52:23 PM] Rycroft: Then there's the sound of a struggle!

[12/17/2014 9:52:50 PM] Rycroft: Some moans!

[12/17/2014 9:52:56 PM] Rycroft: Gunshots!

[12/17/2014 9:53:30 PM] Rafe: Rafe ducks further.

[12/17/2014 9:54:44 PM | Edited 9:54:54 PM] Ella: Ella checks her shadowy cloak for gaps, and extends it a bit further in Josie's and Rafe's direction.

[12/17/2014 9:54:54 PM] Rycroft: Voice 2:  Get it off me! Get it off --

[12/17/2014 9:54:58 PM] Rycroft: More gunshots!

[12/17/2014 9:55:26 PM] Josie: Josie gets out of there and goes toward the gunshots! Apparently doctorates don't make you smart, guys.

[12/17/2014 9:55:57 PM] Ella: Oh, drat.

[12/17/2014 9:56:40 PM] Rafe: Rafe scrambles after her and tries to pull her back, whispering "You tryin' to get yourself killed?"

[12/17/2014 9:57:31 PM] Josie: No, but he might be here. We're supposed to deal with him, not let him terrorize the city.

[12/17/2014 9:57:52 PM] Josie: Josie resumes her attempt to go see what's happening down there.

[12/17/2014 9:58:35 PM] Rafe: And how do you propose we do that?

[12/17/2014 9:59:32 PM] Rycroft: You go out there! the gunshots and scuffling noises and died down! You see a guy standing there, breathing hard, with a gun in his hand, illuminated by a dropped flashlight! All the bodies that were stacked up are no longer stacked up,a nd instead are scattered around the guy. He crouches down to check on one of the bodies at his feet!

[12/17/2014 10:00:33 PM] Rycroft: He does not seem to have noticed you guys yet.

[12/17/2014 10:00:57 PM] Ella: ~I thought you said there were no minds in here, Josie. He looks llike he was in the body pile.

[12/17/2014 10:01:23 PM] Ella: ~Maybe he's got a mindblank power?

[12/17/2014 10:01:25 PM] Josie: Josie thinks: I don't know if I can feel vampire minds if they don't want me to.

[12/17/2014 10:01:46 PM] Ella: ~ah.

[12/17/2014 10:01:57 PM] Rycroft: One of the bodies starts to move and the guy shoots it!

[12/17/2014 10:01:58 PM] Rafe: ((Is the flashlight closer to us at all?))

[12/17/2014 10:02:00 PM] Josie: Josie thinks: Who has the gadget they gave us, the antivamp one?

[12/17/2014 10:02:14 PM] Rafe: ((Think Ella's got it. Or you))

[12/17/2014 10:04:15 PM] Rycroft: AFter a few moments, one of the bodies starts to move again! So he shoots it again.

[12/17/2014 10:04:28 PM] Josie: Josie does not.

[12/17/2014 10:09:38 PM] Rafe: Rafe slinks back into the office to grab some pens or a handful of something else light enough to throw.

[12/17/2014 10:09:43 PM] Rycroft: He stands there waiting for something to move again!

[12/17/2014 10:10:05 PM] Josie: Sir? Excuse me.

[12/17/2014 10:10:18 PM] Ella: Ella facepalms silently

[12/17/2014 10:10:21 PM] Rafe: Rafe freezes.

[12/17/2014 10:10:36 PM] Rycroft: He spins toward Josie! But doesn't shoot. "Damn, you scared me.  Who are you?"

[12/17/2014 10:10:52 PM] Josie: I'm Dr. Black. Who are you?

[12/17/2014 10:11:20 PM] Josie: ((Hey, at least Ella and Rafe are still in the office. If you still want the element of surprise you haz it.))

[12/17/2014 10:11:34 PM] Rycroft: Man:  I'm Frank. ... you shouldn't be here, lady. Not a safe place to be.

[12/17/2014 10:11:57 PM] Josie: Yes, I've noticed that, what with the animated corpses, and all. Who are you with?

[12/17/2014 10:12:26 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  You first.

[12/17/2014 10:12:56 PM] Josie: The Council. We're looking for Crispin Fortunada. You?

[12/17/2014 10:13:36 PM] Rycroft: He relaxes a bit. "Yeah.  Same.  Mr. Benedict sent us down here once we got the address."

[12/17/2014 10:14:20 PM] Josie: Mmm. Who were the others?

[12/17/2014 10:14:33 PM] Rafe: Rafe slowly steps out of the office with his hands visible. (No more thingies in his hands)

[12/17/2014 10:15:21 PM] Ella: Ella peeks out of the office.

[12/17/2014 10:15:39 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  I only came in with Luke here. These things got some kind of death touch, or something.

[12/17/2014 10:16:13 PM] Josie: Did they get him?

[12/17/2014 10:16:59 PM] Rycroft: Frank nods.

[12/17/2014 10:17:11 PM] Rafe: Sorry for your loss.

[12/17/2014 10:17:30 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  You guys find anything?

[12/17/2014 10:17:56 PM] Josie: It might only work on vampires. They didn't seem much interested in us when we came in earlier.

[12/17/2014 10:18:19 PM] Josie: And yes. The plans for the gadget he's using.

[12/17/2014 10:19:05 PM] Josie: I'm pretty sure this isn't a forever process. He's going to need to keep killing to keep it up, and the sacrifices are going to keep piling up. And he's obviously not taking appropriate precautions to hide them.

[12/17/2014 10:20:29 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Damn.

[12/17/2014 10:21:09 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Okay. I gotta find a phone. I'd clear out if I were you. My guys are gonna come down here, clean the place out, and I'm gonna reccommend burning the place down.

[12/17/2014 10:21:37 PM] Josie: All right. Let Mr. Benedict know we were here, please.

[12/17/2014 10:21:49 PM] Rafe: I need a shower.

[12/17/2014 10:21:50 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Will do.

[12/17/2014 10:22:02 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Go on, I'll cover you in case these things get up again.

[12/17/2014 10:22:08 PM] Josie: The real problem is still finding the girl.

[12/17/2014 10:22:28 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Most of our guys are trying to do that right now.

[12/17/2014 10:22:33 PM] Josie: She might still not be dead enough to be one of these things.

[12/17/2014 10:23:05 PM] Josie: Oh? I'd thought you'd be on the Fortunada angle, as he's more likely to be exposed.

[12/17/2014 10:23:33 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  The lady killing everyone in her way is a bigger priority.

[12/17/2014 10:23:53 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  She killed three more people, drained em dry.

[12/17/2014 10:24:42 PM] Josie: Are you planning to kill her?

[12/17/2014 10:26:52 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  If we have to.

[12/17/2014 10:27:26 PM] Josie: And if you don't?

[12/17/2014 10:27:45 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Then we need to get her off the streets, at least.

[12/17/2014 10:28:22 PM] Josie: Josie nods. "If you contain her successfully, we can take her to one of her... cousins. You don't have to deal with it."

[12/17/2014 10:28:50 PM] Rafe: Rafe raises an eyebrow. "That's a pretty long distance."

[12/17/2014 10:29:02 PM] Josie: It is. We have planes.

[12/17/2014 10:29:12 PM] Rycroft: Frank: What do you mean, cousin?

[12/17/2014 10:29:33 PM] Josie: Another Fortunada.

[12/17/2014 10:29:45 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  We got Fortunadas here.

[12/17/2014 10:30:02 PM] Josie: All right. Just... don't forget, she's a victim here. She doesn't know what she's doing.

[12/17/2014 10:30:23 PM] Rycroft: Frank:  Don't look at me. I'm just the muscle here, lady.

[12/17/2014 10:30:23 PM] Josie: Crispin, on the other hand...

[12/17/2014 10:31:37 PM] Josie: You're on the ground. You have a part to play; do your best. We'll do the same. Stay in contact; I'm going to have an expert review these plans to see if there's something unusual about it that could be used to trace him.

[12/17/2014 10:32:33 PM] Rafe: Rafe nods.

[12/17/2014 10:33:52 PM] Rycroft: He nods.

[12/17/2014 10:34:18 PM] Josie: Thank you, Frank.

[12/17/2014 10:34:22 PM] Josie: Josie heads back to the car.

[12/17/2014 10:34:38 PM] Josie: Josie brings the books! And the plans.

[12/17/2014 10:34:47 PM] Rafe: Rafe follows!

[12/17/2014 10:34:49 PM] Ella: Ella helps carry things!

[12/17/2014 10:35:59 PM] Rycroft: Okay! You return to the car.

[12/17/2014 10:36:29 PM] Rafe: We have *got* to work on your self-preservation instinct.

[12/17/2014 10:36:59 PM] Ella: As soon as possible.

[12/17/2014 10:38:03 PM] Josie: ... he had a mind, what's the problem?

[12/17/2014 10:38:11 PM] Rycroft: It's about eleven at night.

[12/17/2014 10:38:23 PM] Rafe: Mind shields?

[12/17/2014 10:38:42 PM] Josie: Not much of one.

[12/17/2014 10:38:49 PM] Rafe: Are you faster than a bullet? Or the instinct to pull a trigger when you're already firing at things?

[12/17/2014 10:39:14 PM] Josie: A vampire's instinct is never going to be to pull a trigger, Rafe.

[12/17/2014 10:39:38 PM] Josie: He did think I looked delicious, if that helps.

[12/17/2014 10:39:40 PM] Rafe: If he's already shooting at things, it doesn't take much to shoot at something else.

[12/17/2014 10:39:45 PM] Josie: Josie drives back to the apartment.

[12/17/2014 10:39:50 PM] Rafe: No. That does not help.

[12/17/2014 10:40:13 PM] Josie: Very few people shoot at unarmed women. And I'm not faster than a bullet, but I'm definitely faster than aiming.

[12/17/2014 10:41:02 PM] Rafe: Rafe frowns.

[12/17/2014 10:43:14 PM] Josie: ... you're right, though. I'll be more careful.

[12/17/2014 10:44:18 PM] Josie: Josie heads for the hangar where they last saw Theo!

[12/17/2014 10:44:29 PM] Rycroft: So you're not going to the apartments?

[12/17/2014 10:44:44 PM] Josie: ((Um. What time is it, where is he likely to be at this time?))

[12/17/2014 10:45:27 PM] Rycroft: It's eleven thirtyish. There is a good chance he's still at the Hangar working if you're not home.

[12/17/2014 10:45:42 PM] Rafe: (daww))

[12/17/2014 10:46:54 PM] Josie: Josie heads for the hangar, then!

[12/17/2014 10:48:32 PM] Rycroft: You find him there!

[12/17/2014 10:50:38 PM] Josie: Josie gives him the stuff, including the books.

[12/17/2014 10:50:56 PM] Josie: Here, we found the schematics. Is there any way we can use these to find him somehow?

[12/17/2014 10:51:22 PM] Josie: Maybe a sympathetic spell of some kind? Or a finding?

[12/17/2014 10:51:53 PM] Rafe: Rafe leans up against something that looks like it's not too greasy.

[12/17/2014 10:52:31 PM | Edited 10:52:46 PM] Rycroft: There's not much of that! But the grabs a rag to clean his hands off and goes through the stuff.

[12/17/2014 10:53:16 PM] Josie: Josie eyes Rafe. "We're going to need to get a special chair for you and keep it clean, aren't we."

[12/17/2014 10:53:43 PM] Rafe: I'm not making a fuss. Just don't want my dry cleaner to cry.

[12/17/2014 10:54:26 PM] Rafe: ((First drycleaning company in the US by 1879!))

[12/17/2014 10:54:58 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  Ugh. This guy combined my spell matrix converter with one of Montsimmard's crystal resonators. Might as well try and build one of those television sets and jam a battery made of lincoln logs and chewing gum in there.

[12/17/2014 10:55:03 PM] Josie: ((Beats using gasoline.))

[12/17/2014 10:55:18 PM] Josie: Well, it did work.

[12/17/2014 10:55:22 PM] Rafe: ((Yeah, they were still using gasoline in the machines in the 30s))

[12/17/2014 10:55:41 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  ... my inventions don't require constant human sacrifices.

[12/17/2014 10:55:43 PM] Josie: But can we locate it, that's the question.

[12/17/2014 10:55:55 PM] Josie: Obviously.

[12/17/2014 10:56:35 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  So I would say that it 'working' is a matter of opinion. I could probably build something.

[12/17/2014 10:58:03 PM] Josie: How long would it take?

[12/17/2014 10:58:27 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  A couple of hours.

[12/17/2014 10:58:46 PM] Rafe: Rafe yawns.

[12/17/2014 11:00:11 PM] Josie: Josie looks to Rafe and Ella. "... should we wait here while he builds, or try and find more leads? I'm out of other ideas."

[12/17/2014 11:03:25 PM] Rafe: You're quite a workaholic, aren't you? Both of you.

[12/17/2014 11:03:53 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  I was on a roll with my research.

[12/17/2014 11:05:13 PM] Rafe: I think we should just let Benedict take care of it. I'm not in the mood to be shot at or eaten or dismembered or anything else they can think of.

[12/17/2014 11:05:55 PM] Josie: We aren't usually here this late.

[12/17/2014 11:06:54 PM] Josie: ... it is late, though. Maybe we should adjourn for the evening and meet back here at... 10 a.m. sound good?

[12/17/2014 11:07:24 PM] Rycroft: Theo:  ... if you're dealing with vampires, daylight is usually your friend.

[12/17/2014 11:07:43 PM] Rafe: Rafe shrugs. "We can do that."

[12/17/2014 11:08:03 PM] Josie: And that'll give us time to build our gadget, too.

[12/17/2014 11:08:41 PM] Ella: Sleep sounds like a wonderful idea right now.

[12/17/2014 11:09:01 PM] Josie: ... bed does sound nice.

[12/17/2014 11:09:17 PM] Rafe: Rafe nods.

[12/17/2014 11:11:05 PM] Josie: Right. 10 a.m., bring your best vampire-hunting tools.

[12/17/2014 11:12:03 PM] Rycroft: Theo nods. "... the stuff at the apartment would be better to build this thing anyway."

[12/17/2014 11:12:18 PM] Rafe: Good, cause we're gonna need a ride anyway.

[12/17/2014 11:12:21 PM] Rafe: Rafe grins.

[12/17/2014 11:13:07 PM] Josie: And I think I brought my coveralls home anyway. Can't work properly in this. All right, should we all drive back together?
