Anthr4xus Posted October 19, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 19, 2023 As Emma began heading back down the hall, the door to the Cold Storage Archive opened. The little old woman was even shorter than Emma would have guessed, barely clearing four and half feet, if that. She called after Emma, "Excuse me, dearie! Hello! Wait a moment please." Her remarkably shining black shoes, low heels that gave her another inch or two, clicked as she pattered towards Emma, trying to get her attention. She held the long report form in one hand, and a large peacock feather quill in the other. The feather waggled as she waved her small hand in Emma's direction.

farothel Posted October 20, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 20, 2023 Emma Henderson, FBI agent Emma wasn't surprised that something needed signing, but she took out her own pen as she couldn't write with a quill. She asked real name or shadowname and after skimming the document, she signed with that one, putting a period behind it to sever the connection so it couldn't be used as sympathetic link for spells. Strike-through would even be better, but that wasn't allowed on official documents. "anything else I need to sign?"

Anthr4xus Posted October 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 24, 2023 Her eyes widened in shock. "A whole set of diamond arrows? My word!. How many is a set?" she asked in an even higher register than normal. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farothel Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 Emma Henderson, FBI agent "No, just one arrow," Emma explained, "but quite a load of magically imbued items. Maybe you know some of those." Taking her cellphone she shows the pictures of the items she has taken. It's a long shot, but if she could identify one or two, then she didn't need to look those up.

Anthr4xus Posted October 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 28, 2023 She jotted down quick descriptions of the pictures that Emma showed her before asking, "Can you print those out some how and give me copies?

farothel Posted October 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2023 Emma Henderson, FBI agent "I'll drop them of tonight or tomorrow," Emma said, "tell those Arrows to hurry up though with the diamond arrow. The other side is lawyering up and I'm not sure how long I can hold on to it." Unless there was something else, she would head back up and head back to the books for some time. OOC What's the in-game time at the moment. I've lost track a bit. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthr4xus Posted October 30, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 30, 2023 The old mage nodded, saying, "I'll make a note that you can provide them to investigators. No need for you to go out of your way for me, dearie. Sorry for all the bother, but I do hope to see at least some of those items back where they belong." She tottered back to her office as Emma returned to her study room. Emma checked the time before she cracked the next book. It was getting into the early evening. Her stomach rumbled slightly and she realized that lunch felt a fair time back. She had been here researching most the afternoon, but it had only been about 30 minutes since she found the note that sent her back to Cold Storage.

farothel Posted October 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 30, 2023 Emma Henderson, FBI agent Emma decided to stop searching for now and after putting the books back, she headed back home, getting some take-out along the way. Back home she quickly logged into the work server to check if there were any new updates and she send a message to Sebastian that she would go to the movies the next day. then she would go for a late night run in the park, just her regular short circuit. She would do a longer run in the morning before work. OOC Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthr4xus Posted November 5, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 5, 2023 As Emma was unlocking her door at the end of her run, her phone buzzed with a text alert. The message was from Veo, "Officially on the team, but only adjunct. I've been told to let you know that we will be taking action within 48 hours. Efforts are being taken to minimize impact. Any information you can provide about storage locations and security arrangements would be appreciated. Additionally anything that can be done to prevent close analysis would be ideal."

farothel Posted November 9, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 9, 2023 Emma Henderson, FBI agent Just great, Emma thought <'I'll be there in one hour.'> she texts back, before grabbing her car keys and rushing to the address. If traffic is light enough, she would just drive normally, but if needed, she would use the light and siren she has in her car. It's not really allowed to use these for private matters, but everybody in the bureau does it sometimes and as long as you don't go overboard with it, it's tolerated. She does turn it off a couple of blocks before she reaches her destination and she makes sure she isn't followed before stopping at the address given.

Anthr4xus Posted November 13, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 13, 2023 The address turned out to be a sizable warehouse. A parking area sat to one side, surrounded by a ten foot chain link fence topped with razor wire. Several vehicles were randomly scattered inside, but Emma's gaze was immediately drawn to two patrol vehicles in the mix. She also spotted the pole mounted camera's keeping an eagle's eye on the parking lot and a good portion of the outside of the building. There was just enough room to pull off the road and into the entry area of the fenced parking lot with an old and battered speaker box mounted on a short pole. The gate was closed and it was late enough that no one was moving in the area. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
