Dat Dude Gil has entered the room.
Dat Dude Gil: Heyo
LordHighRikonian: hey
Proteus454: What up?
LordHighRikonian: hold on, papers all fell off desk
Dat Dude Gil: Shitsies
Proteus454: Sounds icky
LordHighRikonian: ok
Dat Dude Gil: Yee
LordHighRikonian: now, is it safe to assume that you guys are at the bar? :)
Dat Dude Gil: Mebbe, are we, proty?
Proteus454: Agai? Yep
LordHighRikonian: you guys need to admit you have a problem
Proteus454: Eh?
Dat Dude Gil: Okay, I'm a drunk
LordHighRikonian: OK, the TV's on
LordHighRikonian: some lame celebrity bowling tournament
Proteus454: Hurray!
Dat Dude Gil: Good lord
Proteus454: Say, do you guys know how to turn the sound on for this?
LordHighRikonian: SUddenly,t eh Action News 37 logo comes up
Proteus454: (Only I tell it to give me a chime when you guys type in something, but it doesn't despite my settings. Which is why it always takes so long for me to answer)
Proteus454: Hmm...Something come up?
LordHighRikonian: "We interrupt this broadcast to bring an urgent bulletin"
Dat Dude Gil: Oh boy. here it come.
LordHighRikonian: YOu see a typical middel aged dude local reporter guy standing outside of teh Cascade City morgue
LordHighRikonian: a huge hole is in the wall
Proteus454: ...?
Dat Dude Gil: "Uh-oh."
LordHighRikonian: "The Cascade City morgue has apparently been the victim of a body theft scheme. The perpetrators apparently blasted this hole into the wall, then made off with the corpses of several deceased metahumans"
Proteus454: That's both better and worse then what I feared.
Dat Dude Gil: Body snatchers, huh?
LordHighRikonian: "The CCPD has made the inner area off limits, but from here, you can see that there is quite a lot of damage inside"
Proteus454: "This is wrong on so many levels."
LordHighRikonian: "Police are not giving out names of any stolen bodies. We will bring more developments as they occur."
LordHighRikonian: the bowling comes back up
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at Ifrit/mike* "Things are just getting weirder and weirder"
Proteus454: "I'll drink to that."
Proteus454: "Still, I wonder what sort of things you'd nee a dead metahuman body for."
Dat Dude Gil: "So what are we going to do, obviously there are people after you, and tnow these bodies, and we still don't know whhy they were after that Musician."
Proteus454: "I can think of several possibilities myself. Most are very bad, and I don't even want to think about the last."
Proteus454: "Wait, how can we be sure they are the same people?"
Dat Dude Gil: "we can't"
Proteus454: "My point exactly."
Dat Dude Gil: "but things are getting very wrong very quicky"
Proteus454: When he's right, he's right.
Dat Dude Gil: "I think we need to find out if that fellow that was after you was among the bodies taken."
Proteus454: "Oooh. Yes, good point. I'll most definitely be able to get a gander in there on grounds of Article subsection 23-C, regardless of power weilded by the CCPD"
LordHighRikonian: so you guys are going to the morgue?
Dat Dude Gil: Indeed, i believe we are
Proteus454: Yo
Dat Dude Gil: I think that;s a "yes"
LordHighRikonian: OK. Bus or taxi?
Proteus454: Bus
Dat Dude Gil: Bus works
LordHighRikonian: ok
LordHighRikonian: aside from having to sit next to a weird kid with purple hair on Extasy, you make it to within walking distance of the morgue without incident
LordHighRikonian: now what?
Proteus454: Hehehe...Ecstasy
Proteus454: Are there stil cops abot?
LordHighRikonian: you see a few cops gaurding all pioitns of entry
LordHighRikonian: including 4 at the big gaping hole
LordHighRikonian: they look tense
LordHighRikonian: you also see a few CCPD vans parked nearby
LordHighRikonian: the cops jsut loaded one up, and it drives off
Dat Dude Gil: I make like I'm with proty on something official-like
Proteus454: Hmm, yes, now what to do...
Proteus454: Aha! I know...
Proteus454: "Come with me, my friend. Follow my lead."
Dat Dude Gil: "willdo"
Proteus454: *Approaches the big gaping hole in as official-looking a manner as possible*
Dat Dude Gil: *puts on his game face*
LordHighRikonian: two of teh cops step in front of you
LordHighRikonian: "Where do you think you're going?"
Proteus454: "Allow me to introduce myself and explain, officers."
Proteus454: "I am Micheal Ibn-Fadlan, attorney at law (My card), and my associate here is Angus Simone, PI. I represent the next-of-kin of one of the deceased believed to have removed from the premises."
LordHighRikonian: "Sorry, but Mayor McCallister himself gave the order that no one goes in until we secure the area"
Proteus454: "Mr. Simone has uncovered evidence which indicates our mutual clients, the aforementioned next-of-kin, have indeed had one of their beloved decased swept away from them."
Dat Dude Gil: Shit
Proteus454: Nuts, oh well..
Proteus454: "mm, I understand your position."
LordHighRikonian: a team of cops pushes a few covered stretchers past you, loads them into a van, and slams the door
LordHighRikonian: The van takes off
LordHighRikonian: "That's the last of 'em, Captain"
Proteus454: "However, I speak for the two of us when I say that I am certain the cities finest have evrything under..."
Proteus454: "Hmm, might I be correct to believe that things are now, indeed, secure?"
LordHighRikonian: "Huh? Oh yeah, sure"
Proteus454: "Excellent. Thank you for your time, officers. Come, Mr. Simone..."
LordHighRikonian: he steps aside. "Knock yourselves out. Just be careful. YOu do that here, you're liable to get emblamed"
Proteus454: *Laughs as he goes in*
Dat Dude Gil: *smiles slightly and nods to the officer as he passes*
LordHighRikonian: a cop follows you in
LordHighRikonian: as he passes into the darkened interior, you can see his eyes are glowing faintly
Proteus454: "Mr. Simone? You know what to do. Please check the bodies." *Turns and intercepts the cop, stalling him a bit so Gil can get some leeway*
LordHighRikonian: "I am Officer Demetrius, I shall be your escort. We wouldn't want the two of you to get into any trouble now, would we?"
Proteus454: "Officer, a moment of your time?"
Proteus454: "Ah, I understand. Very well then."
Proteus454: "So, Mr. Simone, is the body we're looking for still in its proper place?"
Dat Dude Gil: "I Don't know. all of the bodies are gone. security reasons, I assume"
Proteus454: "Ah, but of course/"
Proteus454: "Everyone knows how dangerous a dead body can be. So, the would assume the files would be thext place to look?"
Dat Dude Gil: "I believe so. Officer, will you show us the way?"
LordHighRikonian: "I'm sorry, but the files have been removed as well"
LordHighRikonian: "We take no chances"

Proteus454: "Mr. Simone? Remind me again why we are here?"
Dat Dude Gil: "Nevermind, there is no need."
Dat Dude Gil: "I've seen All I needed to."
Proteus454: "Excellent. But I have one last question still."
