Investigation Phase

[blackmagicjazz]

All right, kids. The deed's been done and the players are all in position, the camera's rolling and the lights are dimming. It's time to get this show on the road

Oh, I've heard a few rumors here and there, but I can't exactly say I entirely trust our little electronic friends to be proper message-bearers.

[blackmagicjazz]

And what do you mean by that?

Nice hair, incidentally.

[withwingstofly]

There's a proper way to pass on the sorts of rumors that might be appropriate to the situation, after all.

And I'd wager that there might be more eyes watching this than just yours or mine.

[blackmagicjazz]

Ah, concerns of confidentiality. Very wise. You never reveal your hand before the bets are in, especially if you can see your enemy's cards reflected in the tea kettle behind 'em.

Might there be a place to go to dig up information in relative safety?

[withwingstofly]

Oh, there's a fair few, if you know where to look. Some of them might even be not that far off.

[blackmagicjazz]

Excellent news. Perhaps you could toss a clue or two to a man who doesn't have one, amigo.

[withwingstofly]

I might be able to deal you in. But I'd need to know where you were first.

[blackmagicjazz]

My ladyfriend and I are holding down base at the Actua Are hotel near Joutenheim. Or so my little map says. Perhaps we could meet over coffee sometime.

[withwingstofly]

That should do nicely for this round. Did you have a particular time in mind?

[blackmagicjazz]

Left my watch on the table at the cafe I passed out at to bring me here, unfortunately. But I'll keep an eye out for you. As for me, I'm not hard to spot.

[withwingstofly]

I should imagine not. Very well then, I look forward to seeing you there.
