Probably should have waited about an hour longer for that reminder, he's almost on day 7

EDIT: Realized I was backseat GMing. Sorry about that.
Probably not going to post until late tonight or tomorrow

"It's not a very interesting tale, but I suppose it won't hurt to tell the tale." Carla said in response to Jahosafat's question. "It's actually the leftovers from a childhood injury, I believe I was around 11 years old at the time. Occasionally, the Agency would train us with survival trips. They would dump us off in the wilderness of an outer rim world, or at least a planet that hasn't been completely civilized like a Core planet. We'd never know where we were going, what would be in store for us, or even if all of us would be in the same location, but no matter the situation, we still had to survive for however long they decided to have us fend for ourselves. I believe the exercise was meant to make us more adaptable and less liable to dismiss certain options that others might find beneath them." Carla found her other hand slowly drift towards her mouth in between sentences, the urge to bite down on a nail that had been growing a smidge too long for Agency standards, shortening it down to a less problematic length. Summoning her force of will, Carla made herself place her arm back onto the chair's arm rest and continue with the story.

"It was on one of these ventures that I got this scar. I was in a jungle terrain. Dense underbrush everywhere, quite humid, but surprisingly cool. I had heard that they were supposed to be really hot, but I suppose that could possibly have been an oddity of the planet. On that same trip I ended up getting rashes all over my legs from these fungi that were bright yellow and about 40 centimeters tall. They released these spores that stuck to the bare skin and caused an allergic reaction."

"Anyways, I had set up a small camp for myself with a fire. It was difficult to get set up in such a wet situation, but the uses outweighed the cost. I was walking towards it to start cooking up some small creature I'd hunted earlier. It was a bird with bright plumage and a long, pointed bill. I remember being really excited to get something substantial to eat, and I guess in my excitement, I distracted myself from my surroundings. I ended up tripping on an exposed root and fell face-first into the ground, my arm ended up falling directly into the fire. The burn was rather excruciating. It swelled up to nearly a full centimeter off of my arm with puss, and the scarring has stuck with me to this day. I guess if I really wanted to attach a morale, I could say it reminds me not to get so involved with minor victories that I get blinded to obstacles around me."






Location: The Kitchen

"We're cookin' horse," Lionel exclaimed rather bluntly, wiping his hands on a nearby dishcloth. The only progress this seemed to accomplish was staining the cloth without removing much fluid from his hands. "The preacher and I have the actual culinary process handled between the two of us, but if you have a hankering for being handy to us in this endeavor to fix up some actual food, you would have my appreciation Madam. Perhaps you could help clean up all these bodily fluids so the captain doesn't end up bustin' a valve when she comes into the kitchen and sees a sea of sanguine if you are so inclined."

"Well," Mali said, wiping off any errant dust that ended up getting on her clothes, "since we're changing the current mission from 'Investigate Queensguard' to 'Investigate Danica's Murder,' I think our best way in would be somehow gaining Cecily Ashworth as an ally. As coroner, she works pretty closely with the police, which would net us both an ear on the wall on what Detective Roy is up to and potentially a first dibs on any new relevant case info. The big problem is actually getting her to help in the first place. But if we're going to look for her, the best place to start our search would be the Coroner's Office. Unless we're just going to sit outside of Boston Heights and wait for her to come home."

Mali gathered together all of Peyton's case papers into the file, making sure everything was back into place before she tucked it under her arm pit. One quick check to make sure her hair didn't catch any dust like a human feather duster and she was ready to get out of this building. Good thing too, much longer and she'd have a hard time keeping her eyes open.

"I wouldn't suppose you would have a bunch of trench coats and shades, would you?" she jested. "It would give the explanation more credence. I could go full Matrix and get a blue and red pill as well. Well maybe not a pill. Maybe a couple of M&Ms. It would be a lot cheaper."
@Sigil Pass
I thought I had to wait until the next round started for a re-roll where Cyne might wake up.

"I wouldn't use the word 'networking.' It felt more like stalking than anything else, but I suppose that's part of the package when you accidentally end up getting involved in conspiracies." Mali considered her options when it came to where to investigate next. Queensguard was clearly a large bundle of secrets and information that would be very nice to have, but also a huge liability that she wouldn't be prepared to deal with. Besides, it would still be around after they got done looking into other places. Investigating Boston Heights was unlikely to really lead to anything, and if it turned out that they did find something, it would be right under where she lived. It would be better to live in ignorance of anything sinister for a few more days. But those weren't the only two leads they both knew about. There was another route that Relic might not have thought about.

"Actually, why try discovering this information by ourselves when the work might have already been done for us? I'd bet that the reason at least more than one of the people killed in the past 10 days was because they knew more than they should. Peyton was almost killed for the same reason, but that's been long covered up. Might be a pain in the ass to try getting any more info than what's in this file," Mali waved the folder a bit for emphasis. "However, there's an open case related to Peyton's that might lead to more clues about what she knew. What I'm saying is that we should look into the Murder of Danica Graves."
@Mr Rage @Evil Snowman I completely forgot about the Titanpad yesterday. I'll be sure to get that done today.
Goddammit.
