Striking LooksAs soon as Corn was out of the way Olivia quickly closed the door and scrambled for the 3 security chains and several bolts that had been fitted on the door. There was a sigh of relief before she slowly turned around to Witch and Corn and smile apologetically. She made her way to an armchair and sat down. "Sorry, my friends are going missing. I guess I am just paranoid" Olivia rubbed her temples, trying to alleviate some sort of pressure.
Olivia had somewhat of a spacious room clearly defined into areas. As Corn and Witch entered the room there was a small lounge area with a sofa and 2 comfortable looking arm chairs. To the left was a double bed, pressed against the wall with a bedside table one side and next to that a wardrobe. To the right was a small kitchen area. On the wall next to the door sat what looked like a crime board pictures of the chess club members and pictures of venues / places with different colour string linking different pieces together. The place was also a mess and adding 2 and 2 together and potentially getting 4 or 7 she was not getting enough time for sleep.
She looked at Corn and Witch "I know you are worried this.... situation may spread. Honestly, I do not think it will. Whoever it is seems to have it out for the Chess club. Maybe we made them angry in some way. I don't think it will happen at other colleges"
Feel free to roll perception + empathy

"Why do you think whomever is behind these disappearances has it out for the chess club? Not everyone that is not picking up the phone is from the chess club, I think." Corn asked with honest curiosity. This seemed jumping the gun.
I think Deltadream had posting issues, I will jump ahead if that's OK.
I have already rolled (and failed) to assist Witch.

YLF - Grim Sight"I think paranoia is warranted in this situation," Witch says as she steps into the room far enough to allow Corn to follow and the door to be shut.
"Your members do seem to have been targeted. But what could a chess club could have done to piss off someone that much?" Her question echoing in a way that of Corn's.

Striking Looks"Many think that Chess is this polite game of strategy. But when it comes to completions its cutthroat." She paused for a second "In reality, a competitive chess game is closer to a boxing grudge match than this imagined polite game. It is war on a board and your objective is to crush your opponents mind."
"Professional Chess players can be out for blood and there are those that would do anything to win. Last year we won the Pan American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship. I am not saying it is a rival chess team but it is a possibility."
"Truth be told, I don't know exactly who is doing this. For all I know this could be a practical joke gone wrong." Olivia Fidgeted in her seat, slightly uncomfortable as she talked. "It may not be they are out for just the Chess Club but Occam's Razor tells us that the most simple answer is the most likely. No other students have gone missing, therefore the targets are the Chess club."

In his fate sight, the words of the chess woman are not particularly laced with the pull of fate. However something about her as a person doesn't just "ping", it's a huge lighthouse!
We need to keep her talking...
Corn tries to make her open up more, thinking that talking about chess or tournaments would give him enough time to scrutinize her. And perhaps earn a modicum of trust from this fate-heavy woman.
" Do you happen to think of any such club that may have issues with your club - or could have an issue with ours? Personally, I think that if you recounted a couple of your club's big victories - the surprising triumphs few expected! - we may know who to guard ourselves from." It seems that he is not that bad...
As Olivia talks - hopefully Witch won't interrupt - Corn attempts to scrutinize her pattern.
Scrutiny: 8S in two turns. Yes, Corn is "staring" but he asked her and hopefully she will think he looks amazed at their successes.
spells and effects
Let's hope that Olivia doesn't check his backpack...Corn is totally suspect.

Striking Looks"It's not another chess club." She said with confidence. She paused as she rubbed her hands together for a couple of seconds... "It's something else" She paused for a few moments before laughing nervously. "Can I trust you?" She stared at Corn and Witch "I mean really trust you?" Her gaze moved between the two mages before her. "Because, if I say this you will think I am crazy"
Corn
Corns scrutiny does not reveal anything out of the ordinary, no destiny, no fate laden purpose for this woman. As far as Corn can tell her connections to strands of fate are mostly normal. But the ping from Sybil sights meant something, almost as if she was connected in some way, shape or form. If only he could figure it out.

YLF - Grim SightWitch opened her mouth, thinking to bring up the letters and the dates and the boys, but Corn beat her to talking. And seemed to be finding success with his words.
So closing her mouth, she settled for a nod at her question of trust. Careful to reign it in at the last moment so it wasn't too emphatic.
Crazy huh? Crazy like two people who could manipulate the world around you to their will crazy sitting in your dorm room?
