Pulp 013 Ke and Quentin

May 21, 2021

[11:36 PM] Ke: will head up to look for Joseph.

[11:37 PM] Xho: She finds Paris, who directs her to the room where Joseph's been staying; she finds Quentin, with one arm in a sling, sitting in the corner and reading a book, which he sets aside when she steps in.

[11:39 PM] Ke: Any response from him?

[11:40 PM] Xho: Joseph's still unconscious as far as you can tell.

[11:41 PM] Xho: Quentin gestures to a chair next to him, for Ke to sit.

[11:41 PM] Ke: will sit down.

[11:42 PM] Xho: Quentin: The doctor stopped by earlier.

[11:43 PM] Ke: What did they say?

[11:44 PM] Xho: Quentin: Not much of use. He's been unconscious for more than a day, Valley said.

[11:46 PM] Ke: ((It would have been what a week if we took a boat back?))

[11:46 PM] Xho: Yeah, but you flew back.

[11:46 PM] Xho: It's been a few days.

[11:47 PM] Ke: It's been a few days since he went unconscious.

[11:48 PM] Xho: Quentin rubs his eyes. "I've known him for years. We were friends at school."

[11:49 PM] Ke: He seems nice, I have only really met him about a week ago at this point.

[11:50 PM] Xho: Quentin: Hah. "Nice" is one way to put it. I'm surprised you're not in love with him, practically every woman was.

[11:52 PM] Ke: I have enough difficulties right now without falling in love.

[11:54 PM] Xho: Quentin: That's the most sensible thing I've heard all day.

[11:55 PM] Xho: Quentin: And that's one of the problems with Joseph, too: he has the sense of a sack of hammers.

[11:56 PM] Ke: Mort said he was ‘In between’.

[12:00 AM] Xho: Quentin: Not a clue what that means.

[12:01 AM] Ke: How is your arm?

[12:02 AM] Xho: Quentin: It's all right as long as I don't put pressure on it. I was lucky, relatively; we never did find Nemo. I don't know if they turned her into a goldfish or what.

[12:03 AM] Ke: ...Can people do that?

[12:03 AM] Xho: Quentin: I'm honestly not sure. I'm not really what you'd call a proper mage.

[12:05 AM] Ke: Yeah, there is a lot going on that I don’t really understand.

[12:08 AM] Xho: He looks at Joseph, anxiously.

[12:09 AM] Ke: We will figure out what is wrong with Joseph.

[12:09 AM] Ke: His body seems fine at least.

[12:10 AM] Ke: When did you have the fight that you got injured in?

[12:11 AM] Xho: Quentin: Couple days ago. It was a mess, bullets and magic flying everywhere. It was hard to tell which ones were us, which were Cultists and which ones were Thule.

[12:13 AM] Ke: Yeah, things might have gone worse for us if we hadn’t had a dragon and even then Joseph is like this ,and Inari is heavily wounded I think.

[12:15 AM] Xho: Quentin shakes his head. "We can't let them win."

[12:16 AM] Ke: That does seem to be the general consensus around here.

[12:19 AM] Xho: Quentin: It's the Nazis, they don't like people who... people who aren't like them.

[12:22 AM] Ke: Yeah, they do not, still curious why they invited me to the abduction party.

[12:22 AM] Ke: Also we don’t know why they told us about this whole portal thing.

[12:23 AM] Xho: Quentin: Could be genuine, could be some sort of trap.

[12:23 AM] Ke: With the fact that two teams have been attacked so far, I am leaning towards trap.

[12:25 AM] Xho: Quentin: I don't know. I really don't.

[12:25 AM] Xho: He rubs his eyes again.

[12:26 AM] Ke: You should get some rest.

[12:27 AM] Xho: Quentin: Fair.

[12:28 AM] Xho: He pushes an ottoman out and puts his feet up on it, and closes his eyes.

[12:28 AM] Ke: will leave the room quietly.
