Madison's Office: Bug Hunt

by **Madison West** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:11 am

"We're working on it," Madison says, "Did the victim say anything to you? It might be important."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:31 am

"Yeah... yeah she did. Something about being deceptive and the home of the gods and Dionysus holding court with... Banpama? No... Something like that. Sorry. Bamapana? I think that was it..."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:39 am

"Dionysus is Bacchus, right?" Ryan said, frowning. "God, I miss the days when bad guys would just say 'come face me here by sundown,' this riddling shit is ridiculous. The home of the gods?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:40 pm

"I don't know. Mount Olymp? It makes no sense..." she says, though it's pretty obvious she's too disturbed still to really think about it.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:44 pm

"...damn it, Nina..." Will muttered.

by **Madison West** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:10 am

"Ryan has a lead on one of these things," Madison says, "If he's right, then whatever you were told will probably relate to some sort of location."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:20 am

"...a location where Nina...lost her head?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:22 am

"That really narrows things down," Ryan scoffed.

by **Madison West** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:31 am

"Well don't look at me," Madison says, "Usually I just shoot shit."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:19 am

"Lucy's been kidnapped!" Rachel said, running into Madison's office.

by **Madison West** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:20 am

Madison rubs her temples, "And I guess that's five. Fuck."

"Alright, tell us everything that happened."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:35 am

"I was by the gate. There was this homeless looking guy who said something about the place where it all began, where 11 dimensions couple constantly. Then he dissolved into a swarm of Nina probes. I shut down the central one, and it dropped a cell phone. Lucy Grant was tied to a chair, and there was this pulsing egg thing in front of her."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:39 am

Ryan swore, his hands clenching into fists. "All right. We need to figure out where they all are," he said, trying to keep calm. "The big question, do we try to figure them all out first, or do we hit the ones we can figure out before trying the rest?"

by **The Golden Witch** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:41 am

The cell phone Ryan brought in rang, having been returned after the trace had failed, accompanied by a text.

Code: Select all: Put me on speaker phone.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:43 am

"Oh hell," Ryan muttered, fumbling with the phone until he found the button to turn the speaker on.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:06 am

There was quiet for a moment.

"Please," a familiar voice, "Please listen to me, you guys."

"Don't get involved. Just stay out of this."

And then the phone clicks and is silent.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:09 am

"Like hell we won't." Rachel said "Did everyone get riddles?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:18 am

Ryan nodded and quickly recounted them for Rachel.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:35 am

Rachel thought for a moment "I think that mine might be Dr. Tomorrow's lab." she said "Its the place where the dimensional stuff started."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:38 am

"yeah, but she said it's where it all started," he said, frowning. "What started there?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:59 am

"And where the hell HASN'T Nina lost her head?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:09 am

"Maybe she means Yorick?" Sara says quietly.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:11 am

"...her pet skull?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:12 am

"It's a head and she lost it, right?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:15 am

"Well, yeah--but, like, in the bushes or something."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:17 am

"I don't know! Maybe the whole thing's just to lead us in the wrong direction to start with. Who knows what's going on in her fucked up head."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:19 am

"...

I dunno, but something different. She wasn't the Witch when I saw her..."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:54 am

"Yeah, but assuming this is supposed to lead us off won't help us, since we don't have any other clues," Ryan said. "Besides, it feels like some big head game she's playing with us, and she's not going to want to lead us off on that, because then she won't be able to meet us at whatever one she'll be at and gloat and try to kill us."

by **Madison West** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 1:50 am

Madison checks her phone, "I have to go do damage control on this. I'm assigning all of you as a special team to investigate this. The school's database and files on Ms. Madaraki are open to you for the purposes of this."

Madison heads for the door, "I don't care how you do it but take care of this!"

And with that, she leaves the group behind.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 1:56 am

"We should come up with a list of probable sites, then send pairs out to check them out."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:01 am

"...Wrath," Will finally said.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:03 am

"Wrath?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:06 am

"That's one place she hangs out. Hanged out. Hung out?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:12 am

"Do you know where it is?" Rachel said, writing down the name on a piece of scrap paper.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:13 am

"...Mutant Town, maybe? Not entirely sure."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:21 am

"We can look it up before we go," Ryan said. "I'm pretty positive that the clue I got is for the vampire mansion that Nina's team got sent to."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:22 am

"And Dr. Tomorrow's lab would make sense." Rachel said "What were the other riddles?"

by **Gideon Rede** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:24 am

"Does anybody know where her first kill was?" Gideon asked, "Based off the 'Triple Matinee' clue I think it's a movie theater, but let's face it there are dozens of movie theaters in this city."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:28 am

Ryan, meanwhile, was using Madison's computer to log onto the school database and scour Nina's rather extensive file.

by **The Golden Witch** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:31 am

Cross referencing Nina and possible murders linked the group to an incident that was under investigation where three men were killed a short distance from a movie theater. Nina had been suspected for it but ultimately there was no evidence.

The location of the theater was on file.
