Pulp 009

[7:28 PM] Coil: Okay, so you guys wile away the rest of the evening/morning, get some sleep, and emerge at whatever time rested and sober.

[7:29 PM] Sandy: will make breakfast.

[7:29 PM] Sandy: ((Bacon and eggs with toast))

[7:31 PM] Joseph: turns up a bit later, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and apparently, somehow, not hung over at all. Also, wearing an entirely different clean, fresh pressed suit that fits perfectly.

[7:32 PM] Sandy: "......you look....perky."

[7:32 PM] Sandy: offers him a plate.

[7:33 PM] Joseph: Looks can be deceiving. Oh, that looks amazing! Is there coffee? I know it's playing against type but my mother was American.

[7:34 PM] Sandy: "Pot's over there, fresh made."

[7:35 PM] Joseph: Marvellous! Want some, while I'm there?

[7:35 PM] Ke: will enter taking a piece of toast and some tea.

[7:35 PM] Sandy: "No, I set myself up already."

[7:35 PM] Sandy: "Already on my second cup."

[7:35 PM] Coil: Jack Perry walks in. "That bacon?"

[7:35 PM] Joseph: Lovely, lovely. Never been much of a morning person, personally.

[7:36 PM] Joseph: pours himself a mug of coffee and digs out some milk or cream to put in it.

[7:36 PM] Sandy: "It is."

[7:36 PM] Sandy: "Pretty good bacon, too."

[7:36 PM] Sandy: takes a bite of it.

[7:36 PM] Sandy: "How are you, Jack?"

[7:38 PM] Sandy: "...how many of those skins you got?"

[7:38 PM] Joseph: Good morning, Ke, Jack.

[7:38 PM] Ke: Morning

[7:39 PM] Coil: Jack grabs a fistful of bacon. "Lost count.  It was cold last night."

[7:39 PM] Sandy: "It was.  You sleep ok, Ke?"

[7:39 PM] Joseph: It rained.

[7:39 PM] Joseph: Might've turned to snow after a while, though.

[7:40 PM] Coil: JAck:  It didn't.

[7:41 PM] Joseph: Slicker than a greased eel out there, then, I'm sure.

[7:41 PM] Coil: Jack:  Nah.

[7:41 PM] Sandy: "...Ke?  ...need more caffeine?"

[7:43 PM] Joseph: Ah, have you been out already? This early?

[7:43 PM] Ke: will sip her tea “ slept fine, very soft beds in this house”(edited)

[7:43 PM] Coil: Jack:  I slept out on the grounds. Don't sleep so well on a bed these days.

[7:43 PM] Sandy: "...in the freezing rain?"

[7:44 PM] Coil: Jack:  Freezin' rain is just rain that's a bit cold.

[7:44 PM] Ke: Explains all the furs

[7:44 PM] Joseph: Some people feel uncomfortable indoors.

[7:45 PM] Sandy: "...guess that's fair."

[7:45 PM] Sandy: "...so...are we initiated now?  I don't know how this works."

[7:47 PM] Joseph: I should think so.

[7:49 PM] Sandy: "...hey Ke...you said maybe you could train me to be better at fighting.  ...so...how would we do that?"

[7:50 PM] Coil: Jack:  That's the consensus. What were you expecting, a ceremony?

[7:50 PM] Sandy: "I dunno.  Badges?"

[7:50 PM] Joseph: Jolly good thing there isn't one, I hate that sort of thing.

[7:50 PM] Ke: Practice I assume there is some sort of large area somewhere here

[7:50 PM] Ke: Much more efficient than a ceremony

[7:51 PM] Sandy: "...we have a gymnasium."

[7:51 PM] Sandy: "...I dunno.  Just thought there'd be like...a meeting?  Handing out...something?  I dunno."

[7:52 PM] Coil: August:  Decoder rings?

[7:52 PM] Joseph: Ah, good morning, Mr. Valley. Or do you prefer first names? I was a bit hashed last night I'm afraid.

[7:54 PM] Sandy: "Morning, August.  We got breakfast.  Also, yeah.  Decoder rings would be good."

[7:54 PM] Joseph: ... why, do you need to decode something?

[7:55 PM] Sandy: "Maybe!  Then we can send secret messages to each other."

[7:55 PM] Coil: August shrugs. "You can just call me August."

[7:56 PM] Joseph: And you may call me Joseph, in that case. Excellent.

[7:57 PM] Joseph: gets a plateful of breakfast, now that he's had at least a few sips of coffee.

[7:57 PM] Ke: Are we going to need to send secret messages that often?

[7:57 PM] Sandy: "Maybe!"

[7:58 PM] Sandy: "What if we need to get a message across Nazi lines?"

[7:58 PM] Joseph: Then we hypnotize somebody into carrying the message for us without remembering that's what they're doing.

[7:59 PM] Sandy: "I thought you were against mind control."

[8:00 PM] Joseph: I am not a fan of it, no, but I wouldn't shed many tears for a national socialist.

[8:00 PM] Coil: August:  Not all of us can do that, though.

[8:01 PM] Sandy: "Also, a signet ring of some kind would allow us to recognize other agents in the field."

[8:01 PM] Ke: Also would eventually allow enemies to recognize us

[8:01 PM] Joseph: Yes, I'm afraid it would.

[8:02 PM] Coil: August:  I'm sure there's some kind of code phrase, yeah?

[8:03 PM] Joseph: Is there?

[8:03 PM] Sandy: "That'd be useful to know."

[8:06 PM] Coil: Jack:  I'm pretty certain there is. I always forget, though. Alan's good with that stuff.

[8:06 PM] Sandy: "...where is Alan?"

[8:06 PM] Joseph: Where has our gracious host gotten to?

[8:06 PM] Sandy: "...I'd say it's not like him to skip breakfast...but I'd be a liar."

[8:08 PM] Joseph: Mmm. And Miss Crafter isn't down yet either, I see.

[8:09 PM] Sandy: "...how late were you two up last night?"

[8:10 PM] Joseph: I think I left the library about oh... half an hour, perhaps an hour after you did? I can't be sure, really.

[8:10 PM] Coil: Jack:  No idea where he is. He tends to keep his own hours.

[8:10 PM] Coil: August:  He took off earlier in one his cars.

[8:11 PM] Sandy: "You remember which one?"

[8:11 PM] Joseph: Intriguing!

[8:12 PM] Coil: August:  Looked like a roadster. Red.

[8:14 PM] Sandy: "Mmmmm, probably business then.  He wants to send a message of wealth and strength.  ...or, possibly a luxury drive.  If it's the red one, then it's not one of my redesigns, so no nitro or jump.  ....hmmmmm, could be a lot of things..."

[8:14 PM] Sandy: "Ugh, he'll probably be gone all day.  Why'd he even care if I was here?"

[8:15 PM] Joseph: Maybe he likes knowing you're safe.

[8:15 PM] Ke: Maybe he left a note or message before he left

[8:15 PM] Coil: Jack shrugs noncommitally and eats a handful of scrambled eggs.

[8:16 PM] Sandy: "...or we're just supposed to sit here and wait for him to get back."

[8:16 PM] Joseph: Oh, we certainly won't be doing that.

[8:16 PM] Sandy: smiles.

[8:17 PM] Sandy: "August, was Nemo with him?"

[8:17 PM] Coil: August shakes his head.

[8:17 PM] Sandy: "Hmmmmmmm"

[8:18 PM] Joseph: Perhaps she's a night owl.

[8:18 PM] Sandy: "Seems likely.  She didn't seem like a morning person."

[8:18 PM] Ke: Anyone seen Ahti?

[8:18 PM] Sandy: "........that is a terrifying question."

[8:19 PM] Joseph: I suppose we ought to check on him.

[8:19 PM] Sandy: "Anyone remember what room he took?"

[8:20 PM] Sandy: ((Can I roll to know what room he took?))

[8:21 PM] Joseph: I've no idea.
