The Drive [edit] [delete] Lynx (Admin)
It's currently about 4:00 PM; you should reach Veronica's apartment building by 4:40 or so, so you've awhile to talk. It's finally started to actually rain, a constant drizzle, pattering all about without ever seeming to wet anything.
Right, so... [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
(OOC: I asked Lynx, and was told that it was about the same season IRL as IC....thus the air conditioning). Veronica closed the driver's side door, pulling out after the other two had seated themselves. "Alright. Let's go over what we know so far, shall we?" Her accent always stood out more in disconcerting situations, and it was showing itself a bit here, "It would seem that Mr. Kell did indeed work for Alex. And presumably we're supposed to, shall we say, damage whoever it was that shot him?" "I'm sorry, where are my manners, it's terribly warm in here." She reached forward and turned on the air conditioning, continuing to drive in silence through the wet streets.
For a friend... [edit] [delete] Maynard Evers (Hunk)
"If that's what Kell wants, then he'll get no objections from me. I think we'd all want to see the bastard who shot Alex get what's coming to him...but why did he pick us?"
Ignorance [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
"With us he has people who, in a general manner, know what they're doing...And yet we're thoroughally ignorant as to the real situation. Anyone professional he brought in wouldn't be."
Dicussion [edit] [delete] Cyon
I sit back trying to relax, but immediately lean forward again without realizing it. Relaxation is impossible, so I might as well start talking. "I agree with the current outlook on things: Alex was killed by an unknown person, and now a stranger, self-proclaiming himself Alex's assistant, is trying to involve us. He seems to want us to deal with the situation ourselves due to being unable to involve any governmental force (if they could be called that.)" I change my position slightly as I'm still tense then continue, "Now, in regards to this, I don't see as there is much we can do until we review this disk. However, supposing we took him up on his offer, what are the skills that we have that he wants? I may have some computer skills, as well as social skills (I like to think), but I know precious little other than that. Well, I do know enough to defend myself with pistols when I have to, but I have no other physical skills." I pause for a moment and look at the others, "I don't know what is going on here, but I want to know what our capabilities are before getting into anything. I might be trusting my life to both of you soon ... I want to see justice done."
A good question. [edit] [delete] Veronica Alder
She turned to look over at Cyon as she drove, "That's a good question. What does he want us for?" After a few moments, she spoke again, "Besides, I'm relatively sure I never told Alex I'd been training with the French a few years back. How does our friend Mr. Kell know we're 'suitable' for whatever he has in mind?" I sigh, "Someone's been digging." (OOC: What *can* you two do? I know Cyon was FBI, Hunk, if I recall, is a semi driver not quite on the up and up...but what do you two do that we'd be wanted for? I know we're supposed to be good friends and all, so I think we'd better know this about eachother. To Lynx's new OOC board, then?)
