Ianus Congreatio: Secret societies, horror, and mystery in the shadows of Prague.

Posted! Sorry that it was much shorter than the first, that is not common for me to do, I just wrote what needed to be addressed ^.^

Ianus Congreatio: Secret societies, horror, and mystery in the shadows of Prague.

Johanna carried on with her tea, but she took note of how Adam chased the servants from the room, and even bothered to open the window and ask one of the groundskeeper to take his work elsewhere for the time being. She smiled only to herself, and kept eating. Finally, when he seemed ready, did he announce the reason why he had them called to his meeting. It appeared that Lady Adrianna and Adam would be going off to visit a particular woman by the name of Isabeau D'Allende. As for the rest of them, there were two other cases for them to investigate.

The first folder, contained information regarding a mysterious case about several men going missing, according to Adam, at least seven men have been confirmed missing. She leafed through the folder, wondering what could possibly be the cause of their absence. As Adam suggested, it could be a run of the mill killer, or even a human slave trader catching men for women's pleasure, or something even darker. Her gaze lingered upon the sketches that Adam had acquired as well, all of the men were strikingly handsome, or so she thought.
However, the second case caught her attention, more so than the last one. She passed on the previous case file to Ben, and took the next folder in her hands, her eyes reading every piece of information she could. A rabid bear, hmm? Not quite. To Johanna, this was a clue, as she knew that any bear could not, so cleanly, and smoothly, extract any creatures heart. Bears were massive killing machines, and they lacked the finesse that humans did, which made Johanna wonder if perhaps this was some type of sadistic killer, or even a medical student, killing for the hearts alone, to study? There was also the possibility, that a creature, unbeknownst to them, perhaps just as sophisticated as humans, was the killer.

In her mind, Johanna had decided already that she would take on the case. She would rather investigate the outlying forests around Prague, than investigate the inner city, the environment suited her temperament better. Closing the folder, Johanna pushed it in front of her, and returned to sipping on her tea. Already, Johanna could feel the ache in her head, beginning to ease, the pounding at the base of her skull, and around her temples had subsided significantly.

"I think I'll have a go at this, rabid bear case, I already have a feeling that this beast, is no bear." So saying, she nodded at Adam, confirming that she intended to take on the case. A hint of a smile played upon her lips, she felt that after some research, and going to speak to the locals that would talk to her, Johanna would have a clearer idea of what she was working with, or against.

It seems that I am stuck between choosing which case would be best for Johanna to pursue, naturally, she would go for the bear case, however, the missing men is rather interesting as well.

I too will have a post up soon, most definitely by the weekend if not sooner.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

I appreciate the brief history provided, and especially the list of who fought for who during the civil war. It helps xD

@PhoenixWhite

Agreed! Lists are very helpful, especially with something as expansive as this.

Plague of the North

Yeah! We've just begun our collab, as I've been very busy with RL. But we will have it soon.

Well, I mean, I presumed that Shay was coming was implied at the end of my last post - but clearly I'm the only one who thought that. *laughs* Which puts me in a very slightly awkward position. I'll probably write something tomorrow afternoon. :3

@Naril

I think you may have misunderstood my sarcasm, forgive me, my humor is...rather dry and confusing. I did notice that implication at the end of your post, that Shay was indeed going to join us for breakfast.

I am alright, thanks for asking. How about you?

@kittyluna45

Just lurking, ^3^ doing my job haha.

I'm doing fine! :3 I'm working out what to do with a next post, rather than just explicitly having Shay come to breakfast.

@Naril

But isn't that the point *le gasp!*?! Or is she not so direct and obedient? Wait no, don't tell me! I like surprises better 3:

Taking time with my char, waiting to see what comes of this rp before I commit. (Wary look.)

@Fillet

I would love to see what you come up with, the more the merrier, I say. Don't be so worried (: RL issues are a thing, I'm certain Astarael hasn't forgotten us by any means, or anyone that has posted at least.

How are we all doing?

Spiritum Aeternum; or The Ramshackle Monster Hunters

Sorry, I took this recent vacation very seriously. Eru and I are working our way toward the end of this collab. I'm aiming for a weekend release.

Once again, sorry if this caused anyone to panic.

@The New Yorker

No panic on my end (: just curious as to where everyone had gone.
