Role:

Spiro

Player:

Xalxe

lendunistus

You are a police officer responding to a callout about a dead body in the mall. Apparently a body was found in the mall, stashed in a Tesla display model. From what you understand, the body has been moved to a safe location.

Goals

1. Find the body in the mall
2. Find out who killed the person, or the circumstances of the death (eg was it an accident, deliberate, natural causes, etc)
3. Report your findings back to Police HQ to find out what they want you to do next.

Once done, unlike other players in the game, you do NOT need buy yourself a train ticket, board the train and exit the mall. You may drive away in your police car. You may take other players with you if you so desire, but anyone you put in the back will probably be in handcuffs

The Gun may or may not be an instant kill, however, once fired the other player or NPC player will have 24 hours to take evasive action (if possible).

[Xalxe]

ew, I'm a cop? Gross.

[ambic]

Yeah, you are a cop. Not the reaction I was expecting

You check out the Tesla. It seems to be pretty cleaned up. It's locked up tight. Your keys however are not for this tesla. If you want a closer look inside the tesla, you may need to find where the mall stores the keys for it.

[ambic]

You have approached the Cheap Phones: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87883

[Xalxe]

Do I have any money?

[ambic]

You are carrying 5.00 in coins. I have updated your inventory to reflect this.

[CaptainMeme]

Quentin has initiated a private chat with you: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87894
It can be used whenever you are both in the same room.

[Xalxe]

Are private chats meant to be in-character or out-of-character?

[ambic]

They should be in character, but we aren't going to be hard and fast about it.

[ambic]

[ambic]

Thanks for replacing:

Your role can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87878
This thread is where you communicate with myself and CaptainMeme.

Have a read through the main thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87865

The rules are in post 2: viewtopic.php?p=13048315#p13048315

Importantly as you are replacing in during phase 2, we will allow you to chose a room to go visit from any listed in the thread, once you have caught up.

You will be able to communicate with anyone in the same room as you, via private threads.

During the Eatery phase, Xalxe did vist the Phone Desk: You can read the subthread here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87883. Xalxe did fail to visit the Santas Grotto, bookstore, Service desks. You may do so now if you want.

At the finish of the Eatery phase, Xalxe failed to submit a choice: SO you can stay here and investigate stuff, and spend time with Matthew (Battle Mage) who is out here with you, or you may choose a room to go visit. The antique store reached the room capacity of 4, so you cannot visit there. YOu can visit any store without a Padlock in the graphic:

[ambic]

Please also be aware, CaptainMeme and I are exactly 12 hours apart in Real Life, and we are taking shifts running the game. It;s almost his turn to take over, so he may likely answer any questions you have. If you wish to talk with us over another mechanism, let us know.

[lendunistus]

Visit the bathrooms

[ambic]

That was fast. Shall I put you there right away?

[lendunistus]

That was fast. Shall I put you there right away?

actually, I’d like to watch through the window first (assuming there are any)

[ambic]

You have a quick look. The room seems empty, but there is a smashed out window at the end of the hall. Looks like someone's been here and climbed through.

[ambic]

THis is what you see, save that the window at the far end is now smashed out
.

The rooms are unoccupied at the present time.
