The Book & the Bullet

[Penguin]

As Demise is cursing her lack of results she can't help but look to Aenigma who seems much more skilled in this kind of thing. "You seem to have this under control," She says to Aenigma as she places a hand on his shoulder taking one more look at his computer screen. "I'm going to see what's inside the book." She flashes him a smile before moving back over to where Miach and Mr. Rossi stand. "How's it going?" She asks Mr. Rossi as he looks through the book, patiently waiting her turn to try to read it.

[Kailaria]

Jag : It's an extended roll to research. Keep rolling until you've got the target successes or you've rolled your pool [your base pool] number of times.

When Miach skimmed through the first portions of the book, it seemed to be some sort of first-person narrative, but without reading too closely, he isn't able to glean much about the subject aside from a few words that pop out to the Sybil from time to time: "Destiny", "Arcadia", and "oaths".

The Question looks down at the first page, which appears to him to be blank, still.

If I added my numbers right I got 19 suxx on the rolls for the Title, and 15 suxx on the rolls for the Author

[Miach]

Feeling grumpy that his attempt hadn't been succesful at once, Miach tersely replied to The Question.
Not much, apart from links to the Fate Arcanum, by my reckoning... but I'll leave it to you to give it a look.

He mentally thanked Demise once again as he then mulled over the situation while sipping slowly of his so sweet cappuccino.

[Aenigma]

Aenigma looks up when he hears the book has some ties to the Fate Arcanum. However, he doesn't say anything and just makes a mental note of it before going back to typing away on his computer, focusing on his research and hoping that he'll find some answers.

[Penguin]

"Thank you," Demise says to Mr. Rossi as he offer her both the seat and the book. Demise sits and hunches over the book as she casually flips through the book studying each page as she continues, hoping if that somewhere in this strange book she might uncover a hint of it's importance.

[Kailaria]

Aenigma

Aenigma will end up having spent about 2.5 hours doing his research (it's 30 minutes per roll, and you reach the successes of each in 4 and 6 rolls, so I just averaged the two since they would both likely come up in the same searches). So, I'll be waiting to give results on the roll for a while until the others catch up. Feel free to react in the middle of the research, though, as though you're taking a small break from time to time.

Unfortunately, Demise sees nothing as she flips through the book, just blank page after blank page. The Question also continues to see blank pages as Demise turns them, even after putting up his Time Sight.

Demise, please roll [Perception - 1]. Miach and Question, roll [Perception - 3].
