[ReubanBrightwood]

That’s 48 hours if Philip hasn’t posted in another 48 same rules apply as with Witch. Being that Walker you can post around both of them without need to wait unless someone drops back in.

Between drinks and dancing Walker picks up hints, watches for clues and between several conversations gets the following information.

• He is certainly not the only one here looking for Mothisa
• She does not seem to be here tonight, at least no one has seen her
• Of the photos on social media all of the selfies come from the same account belonging to someone called Darren Greenfield. (All photos have time and date stamps).
• One guy swears blind that she was her a few nights ago, he followed her out to the back of the club to try and get a picture but there was only some guy dressed as a drag queen, though the he swears it was the same outfit Mothisa had been wearing.

This topic is something Lily is most certainly uninterested in and the more time Walker gives to pursing it the grumpier and more demanding she seems to get.

[Witch]

Witch didn't bother to hide her scowl at Walker's words in front of the chick.

"Tell you what Mr. Sexy" her tone drawling out the nickname in a mock Texan slang, "You go have fun. I'm out."

And turning, she slipped away from the new trio with a roll of her eyes.

Thing was, it wasn't even half charade. She knew it took a bit of time for folks to figure out how to work together, so it was absurd to think that she and Walker and Philip would have a rhythm right off the bat. But to hit such ... frustrations early on...

It wasn't promising. So better to see if splitting the party would yield anything. They could reconvene and try again later.

As she stepped away, she pulled out her phone looking up the website and the process to prepay for a ticket. She wasn't going to go in yet, but this way when she did make her way back to the line, maybe she could have her way all set up.

Sorry about that guys - double whammy of family and then stomach bug. Should be back now though.
ReubanBrightwood Do I need to do any rolls for Witch to get some pre-paid tickets?

[ReubanBrightwood]

Welcome back glad your feeling better . As long as you have a smartphone and a bank account with at least 1 dot of resources I'm gonna say its easy enough to get tickets. If for some reason Witch doesn't have those manipulation+persuasion to fast talk a ticket from someone in the queue.

Posting again just to address Witch's question. Posting order should be Philip, Walker, Witch, Reuban

[Philip Crosen]

Philip was bored and also still slightly annoyed at Walker, but he took his advice to heart. Witch deciding to do her own thing didn`t really bother him, though he did find it slightly strange. After all, they`d come together. But he would stay focused on the mission. So, first order of business was getting away from Walker and the lady he was with, and go out looking for Mothisa Sudarata. He`d keep his smartphone as a backup plan for later, if he failed to locate her. But he also knew he wasn`t the best at small talk, so he`d consider getting the others if he found her.

After failing to locate her, but managing to get away from the others, he went to a (slightly) less crowded part of the establishment, where there was a table, and took out his smartphone from his backpack.

[Walker]

"Huh, I guess she really is dead. Sorry, Lily. I just saw some weird shit online that I guess was fake news. Look, I'm gonna go grab one more drink and take a piss and we'll dance when I get back." Walker splits off and hits the bar again, near the end where he can get some relative privacy. He raises his hand when the bartender looks his way. "Jack and coke." When a napkin and a glass is placed in front of him, Walker takes a pen from one of the pen holders for writing on receipts the removes the napkin from under his drink. As he sips from the jack and coke, Walker spends a minute writing on the inner fold of the napkin, being careful to cover one side with his writing hand, and the other side with the top side of the napkin.

MS not here
MS online pics from Darren Greenfield | solid lead
ugly blue button up+glasses+tat sleev says saw MS few nights ago, followed out back, saw male w/ MS clths | interrogate? sec cams?
Shapeshifter??---maybe here in different form??
cant follow up, need to keep appearances

Walker replaces the pen and folds the napkin, looking around the club for Philip. He's spotted sitting at a table, on his phone.

Dude's probably hacking the place or something.

Walker strides over to him, behaving as if on his way to the restroom. As he passes the table, he gives Philip a knowing glance and drops the napkin in front of him. Afterward, Walker uses the restroom and heads back to Lily. "Alright, ready to get some dancing done?"

[ReubanBrightwood]

Philip finds himself in the lounge area phone in hand as Walker moves past handing off his notes before going to dance. Witch has remained outside for now.

Philip to research on your phone is Int+academics-1 for noise + any equipment extended action each roll takes 30 minutes. Hacking if that’s what you’re doing int+computer+equipment contested extended each roll takes 30 minutes. With this new information you can of course choose to do something else.
Walker you can roll whatevber social pool it is your after with Lily or just dance/do something else.
Witch is still outside.

[Witch]

Punching the "check out" button that popped up on her screen, Witch finalized the transaction that secured her access to the club. And then tucked the phone away. She would eventually make her way inside, but first ...

Heading toward the alley with a determined step she let her gaze scan around, not hiding that she was looking for something. As she did so, she breathed in and on her exhale let supernal vision take hold.

Magical shenanigans or drunk friend. Depending on who asked what she was looking for, the answer would vary.

Witch has the required elements to secure tickets.

Philip Crosen Xisdor Scene bump

[Philip Crosen]

Philip was busy skimming social media about the lady, trying to find anything distinctive that might help him locate her in the bar. But he wasn`t getting anywhere and was frustrated. So he didn`t immediately notice Walker approaching him. When he did, though, he immediately noticed Walker`s paper. And when he discreetly gave it to him, he was quite intrigued by what Walker had managed to find out, via his approach.

I must say, I don`t really like his methods so far, but I can`t argue with the results. Far from my rotten luck with my own searches for our target, meh....

Walker`s findings caused him to redouble his efforts on the things he`d discovered. So he used the time arcanum to set himself up for a long research grind.

With that, he engrossed himself in his phone, way deeper than he had before, and started looking for any and all sorts of obscure references he could find on his VPN on the internet.

For Witch Per 2E prime sight As your glyph comes into being the world takes on new hues and patterns. (Is there anything unique in the way Witch perceives resonance?) A few party goes are wearing diamond earrings that would qualify as a tool, along with various long coats should she wish them. scrutiny is Int+Ocuult you can roll equal to your gnosis per target, it is intense enough that it can be noticed by others. With Philip doing research for a while if there are several things you want to scrutinize you can do it all in the same post (stone/metal give -2. wood/dead body -1, a sleeper +0, ephemeral objects/ active spells +1, spirits and ephemeral creatures +2) (In or outside, if you enter). You are not in a Hallow and outside the club no awakened magic is present bar your own. Unless you have any on you no Tass is present.

For Philip Good coverage on bonuses and penalties. 6 successes. Spell is prolonged so lasts 1 hour thus it covers the first 4 rolls, 6 rolls totals 2 hours of research. You find the information is not buried to deep as you are not the only one looking. You get Her apartment (the place she died). The contact details including address of her manger (he ran the social media campaign). The address of the crematorium that disposed of her body. The name and precinct of the detective that investigated her death.
