Clean up crew: Grave robbing

[ReubanBrightwood]

Asclepius Jombot
Abyssalstar Thirteen

The two mages have made their way to the morgue and had some decent success over by the body freezer Asclepius has found Corn's body and taken hair and skin samples after saying a few heartfelt words, he now looks for the body of Gregory power son aka Philip Crosen.

Thirteen across the ay has had equally if not greater success having found the belongings of both mages:

Corn: No phone of wallet, such things have been removed by the police given Corns current state as a murder victim but there is, a cross necklace, a wedding ring, a sealed bottle of water and candy bar, a pack of handkerchiefs, a pack of gum, a large pen, a loaded hand gun and a lead coin with the Atlantean pentagram carved into one side of it

She has passed the magical tool, the cross, ring and the unloaded gun to Asclepius.

Philip:A lighter, a baggie of grey powder, a can of hairspray, a pack of cigarettes and a hair comb. It would seem anything in terms of wallet of phone much like Corns had been taken for identification purposes.

Both mages have however just heard the sealed door to the morgue buzz open, someone is coming in.

[Thirteen]

Still wondering what the hell the grey powder was, the Acanthus startled at the sound of the buzzer.

Shit!

It took her mind a moment to remember they were allowed to be here, technically, thanks to Asclepius' professional access. Still, she didn't want to be caught snooping, so Thirteen immediately assumed an innocent, relaxed posture. Just a bored girl staring at her smart phone.

[Asclepius]

Hearing the the comment from Thirteen in the other room, he quickly added one of his own in response. “If it seems out of place, it might be a clue or of use.”

With many things on the list collected, the only optional check box was samples of Philip. The shaman had not made plans to collect from his body as the focus was on corn, but if the opportunity was there, then he shall do what he can to take it. The buzzers chime gave a moments pause in his movements. However he was aware that there was people still on shift and it should be expected that they would move between the entrance and back areas.

Please be a worker.

His eyes looked towards Thirteen to gauge her reaction to the possible interruption but it seemed she had already taken the form of a disinterested person with their head stuck in their phone. He felt no need to offer comment on it, as it looked like she was already prepped for an addition to the room.

While he waited to see who had come through the buzzer door, he gave another look for Philips body. With any luck, this would give him the opportunity to be first line of communication, should there be need.

Thirteen adopts the classic look of the age, bored and doom scrolling over by the property bin and its bags of contents, while Asclepius with a further quick search finds the freezer compartment labelled Gregory Power son, whoever does the organising down here really needs to up their game because it is neither near Corn nor is it it in alphabetical order.

It would seem that today if the universe heard the arrows wish it was not to be granted because the person confidently strolling into the room certainly does look like a worker.

A man early twenties and fashionably fit, dark brown hair hanging loose and held back by a pair of sunglasses, a black silk shirt with the top two buttons undone tucked into slim fit jeans and a pair of black Derbies to finish the expensively fashionable look. Perhaps most concerningly Thirteen can see two golden glyphs blazing uncloaked in his pattern, Asclepius with out mage sight has to rely on his sixth sense to tell him something magical has happened in the area but he does not know what or from whom.

A quick and easy glance takes in the the arrow and libertine followed by a theatrical sigh. "So who goes from the room of a dead man straight to the body of the same?" His observation slows and settles on Thirteen the enchantress sems to be the focus of his attention.
