As some of the patrons are aware, the walls of the bar move. It is that knowledge, more than anything, that the walls are literally closing in on him that drives Ryan outside when the full moon is near. It has to do with an incident that happened his first moon here. He hasn't forgiven Andrew Wells for that.

He will never forgive Andrew Wells for

Bill came in and recieved a note with his coffee.

He's not sure how old it is but right away he's worried and looking for Ryan, a man he had every intention of avoiding from now until what's happening outside the big window gets into the bar after the raccoon thing. But this is important and so when he spots Ryan he approaches. He's in sheriff mode, something rare in the bar.

"Hey Ryan? I'm Bill, was with ya on the Black Oil thing? I just got that note you left, there anything new about Suzi?" The way the man looks it doesn't seem like good news is likely.

[captainryan]

Well. As long as Ryan doesn't find out he was the raccoon, they're probably good.

Though Bill can retaliate by finding out Ryan was 'Trigger'.

"Pardy. I remember," Ryan says, tone clipped, flat, and just a little stressed. "Belar was able to tell that she's in a world without magic, but nothing more.

"And we know what's been doing it," he adds with a sort of grim satisfaction.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Yes, that should even things up a bit. Especially if Bill were to find out and then let George know about it.

Bill frowns at what Belar was able to figure out, because that's not much at all. Until Ryan says they've know what's caused it. "Yeah? What's doin it?"

[captainryan]

Ryan just got a very bad feeling and doesn't know why.

"A stone angel. One of the people to have just returned saw it attack them." It's their first lucky break.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

"A stone angel? Where was it?" He hasn't seen any around, but then Bill isn't the most observant most times. "How'd they get back?"

[captainryan]

"Outside. I've seen it once or twice, always in a different spot. It moves when you're not looking, it seems.

"The same way everyone else has; through the front door. I haven't spoken with them yet." He's been more concerned with hunting that thing down.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill looks towards the front door. It'd be nice if it opened and she came smiling back in, or if he could go through it an bring her back from where ever she'd been taken.

"Stone angels." He shakes his head. "This fuckin place. Sometimes I..." A thought occurs to him and he turns back to Ryan quickly. "How long she been gone?"

[captainryan]

Ryan would give anything to see that happen.

"Four days, bar time." Oh, look, his tone's gone all flat and clipped and emotionless again.

"That note you left said she was with that guy Deitmar. Is he a Gen?" Bill is trying to keep up his sheriff mode but he's not doing so well. He doesn't remember how long exactly it takes before Suzi gets bad off but he saw her when she was first in the bar without anyone. It's not something he'd like to think about her going through again.

[captainryan]

28 days.

Ryan doesn't think about it except in a very vague sense that if she doesn't come back within the month, it's going to be bad.

He also doesn't think about how most people were gone for only a week bar time, but years in wherever they were sent.

"No." There is just a shade of grimness to that word.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

"Dammit." And that's all he can say because there's nothing for him to do.

"Well, if there's anyway I can help, or anything changes I'd appreciate you lettin me know. I'll be around." He doesn't plan on leaving now until she's back.

[captainryan]

Ryan nods once. "Will do, Sheriff."
