Victoria sort un bloc-notes dans l'espoir de passer comme journaliste. Elle demande à la première personne qui semble accessible. Que s'est-il passé ici? Qui sont les civils qui assistent le SPVM?

Victoria pulls out a note pad and asks the first person she come ups to a series of questions in French.
Feb 15, 2019 5:45 am
"Oh, J'sais pas, peut-être la Gendarmerie Royale, mais y'm semble qui ont un uniforme eux autre aussi..." Un autre curieux s'infiltre dans la conversation. "Bin voyon, c'est clair que c't'une firme privée!" Un troisième curieux donne son avis. "Moé j't'rouve qui ont l'air du FBI. Le gars qui ont pogné c't'ait probablement un terroriste."

Alors que Victoria collecte les ragots de théoriciens, un agent du SPVM accompagné d'un des veston-cravate avec son bidule s'approchent du cordon de sécurité. Le bidule du veston-cravate, qui ressemble à l'interpretation d'un téléphone intelligent que Gene Roddenberry aurait imaginé, commence à émettre des "bips" sonores. Les "bips" augmentent en fréquences pendant que le veston-cravate balaie les environs avec son gadjet, le son devenant un long timbre sonore lorsque pointé en direction générale de Victoria. "Attends un peut, on en à un autre ici..." Heureusement pour Victoria, le policier et le veston-cravate ne semble pas l'avoir remarquée parmi la foule de curieux qui l'entoure.

Que fais-tu?


Victoria starts collecting various conspiracy theories from the curious, varying between the RCMP, the FBI, or some private firm when one of the suits examines the area where Victoria is standing among the crowd of curious next to the yellow tape. The suit's gadjet starts beeping when pointed in Victoria's general direction. "Hold on, we got another one here..." They haven't noticed Victoria yet.

What do you do?

La panique s'emparant de son cœur, Victoria ouvre par réflexe son esprit à la véritable instabilité du monde. Son esprit flanche momentanément sous le fardeau du maintien de la stabilité, mais elle le repousse sans effets néfastes. Elle attrape l'espace près de son vélo, marche et le courbe pour qu'elle soit là où elle se tient. Sautant sur son vélo, elle ne voit pas

Victoria uses her magic powers to teleport to her bicycle and rides around the corner.

Jake sticks with Victoria, keeping quiet and observing the scene around him.
Feb 18, 2019 1:16 am
Victoria se téléporte soudainement vers son vélo, ce qui effraie les curieux qu'elle interviewais et qui se trouvaient tout près d'elle. À ce moment là, le gadget du veston-cravate émet des sons strident qui force les gens à se boucher les oreilles pour une petit moment. Victoria profite de ce moment de confusion pour filer sur son vélo (probablement en savourant l'ironie d'avoir averti Jake plus tôt de ne pas révéler le monde caché aux normaux alors qu'elle vient tout juste de se téléporter devant eux).

Après avoir repris leur sense, les policiers et veston-cravates demandent à la foule s'ils ont vus quelque chose d'inhabituel. Les témoins décrivent Victoria avec laquelle ils avaient parlés quelques instants plus tôt. Puis un pointe Jake et dis "Oui, elle était arrivé avec lui."...

Que fais-tu?


Victoria suddenly teleports to her bicycle, throwing the whole scene into chaos (people panicking and the suit's gadget emitting ear-splitting screeches).

Once the chaos is over, Victoria is gone (ironic that she had just warned Jake to not reveal the hidden world to the mundanes...) and the police and suits are asking to the crowd of curious if they've just noticed anything unusual and witnesses start giving the police Victoria's description. Then suddenly another witness points towards Jake and adds "Yeah, she even came here with him"

What do you do?

Victoria's sudden teleportation and the ensuing chaos startled Jake too, though not as much as the mundane crowd. He does not like this situation at all, but he thinks that running or trying to leave right now would draw more attention to himself. He thinks that device maybe only seeks out wizards, so perhaps he can fly under the radar and not be noticed. He hears the witness point him out, but he stands around pretending to be just as confused by all this as everyone else. He is confused, really... He regrets not asking more questions before deciding on a whim to tag along with Victoria.
Feb 23, 2019 4:15 pm
An officer accompanied by one of the suits approach Jake. As Jake suspected, the gadget carried by the suit does not emit sound while pointed at Jake. "Sir, we'd like to ask you some questions about the woman you came here with. Do you know this woman?"The officer takes out a notepad to take Jake's statements.

What do you do?
Feb 24, 2019 6:16 am
Le cœur s'emballe, Victoria considère ses options. Y retourner pour aller chercher Jake serait une folie, mais ces personnes ont besoin que leur esprit soit nettoyé. Aucune capture de héros ne révélerait plus du monde caché que sa disparition. Elle doit seulement espérer que Jake pourra se débrouiller et découvrir ce qui se passe.

Victoria s'éloigne en laissant entièrement la scène de la folie. Quand elle se sentira suffisamment poussée, elle téléphonera à son ami Mauric, il travaillera dans la force et pourrait savoir ce qui se passe. Allo bonjour Mauric, j'ai entendu des rumeurs étranges et je me demandais si vous pouviez me renseigner. Apparemment, il existe un nouveau groupe de travail avec des dispositifs étranges. J'ai entendu dire qu'ils agissaient contre un de mes collègues qui travaille également avec d'anciens textes. Maintenant, je sais que je ne suis que votre consultant pour les textes, mais je me sens quand même un peu inquiet.


Pausing for a moment of thought, Victoria rides away from the chaos. Pausing only when she feels she has covered enough distance to be safe she calls up her contact on the force.

Cashing my debt to get them to answer a question truthfully.
Feb 24, 2019 7:14 am
Maurice hésite pendant un instant avant de répondre, puis il parle à voix basse. "Écoutes, Victoria, c'est un peut compliqué. Il y à un Sergent du SPVM, un certain Maurice Gauthier, oui, un autre Maurice, ja sais... Il à convaincus les hauts gradés de faire affaire avec une agence de détectives qui se spécialisent dans l'occulte, question que les surnaturels aux pouvoirs magiques qui commettent des crimes puisse répondre de leurs actions devant la loi. Je sais que ça empiètre sur les taches du Conseil, et le Conseil est vraiment dérangé par tout ça, mais Maurice en fait à sa tête... c'est comme si il était dans une genre croisade personnelle ou quelquechose... Ils ont commencés avec les petits fouteurs de troubles et vont éventuellement s'en prendre aux plus gros criminels. Si j'était toi, je me tiendrais tranquille dans les prochaines semaines à venir... Si t'as de la famille à l'extérieur de l'île de Montréal, ce serait le bon moment d'aller leur rendre visite... Euh, bon je dois raccrocher, je suis plus tout seul... Oh, et t'as pas entendue ça de moi, okay?..." CLICK

Que fais-tu?


Maurice is hesitant to talk, but then spills the beans. "Some sergent called Maurice Ghautier has convinced the SPVM to work with detectives specializing in the occult. They are arresting supernaturals who use magical powers and break the law. It really annoys the Council, but Maurice won't hear any of it, it's like it's personal for him... Anyways, you should probably lie low for a while. I can't talk anymore, there are other people around now... oh, and you did not hear any of that from me, okay?." CLICK

Jake makes eye contact with the officer to try to seem as honest and open as possible. He lays his Southern US accent on slightly thicker than normal. "Certainly, officer, though I don't know how helpful I will be. I'm just in the city temporarily for business. I don't know that woman, though I would like to. Good-looking gal. I saw her- or maybe more aptly didn't see her-- when she disappeared a couple minutes back. What was that??"

Hmm, yeah, that was a good call for the Mislead, distract, or trick, but oh, a miss...

Jake started up pretty convincing, especially with his southern accent, but when he started complimenting Victoria's beauty and how he'd like to get a galpal like her, he started overplaying his hand and the agents started noticing Jake was not being entirely honest...

"Sir, we're going to ask you to come with us to the station so we can ask you further questions..."

The SPVM agent moves to grab Jake by the arm and guide him towards a close by police car...

OOC:
Definitely not the outcome I was hoping for! So how many actual police and how many of these special agent types do we have out here? How big is the crowd? Any faces I know out there?
Feb 25, 2019 3:15 am
OOC:
Right now, there is only one agent with one of the suits near you, but there are another 6 SPVM officers accompanied by about 4 suits a bit farther off.
The crow of curious is about 20-22 people, but only 5 area actually nearby as they were the ones who were close enough to witness Victoria teleporting.
Sadly, there isn't anyone you know around here as this is not a neighborhood Ventrannia usually sends you out to...

As something you are doing now.
Pavel réussit à explorer les égouts de Montréal, mais pas avant d'avoir été pris en fragrant délit d'entrés par infraction par un employé de la ville. Heureusement, il réussit à convaincre la personne de ne pas appeler le SPVM, mais sa va couter à Pavel... Bon au moins il va pouvoir explorer ces mystérieux égouts.

Pendant son exploration, Pavel entend un ricanement, et le suivant, il tome sur une scène qu'il ne s'attendais pas de voir. Dans un embranchement des égouts, il voit de nombreuses créatures humanoïdes. Leurs taille et apparence varient grandement, variant d'environ de 3 pieds de haut à plus de 7 pieds pour les plus grands spécimens. La plupart on des traits animal: une queue de lézard ici, des plumes d'oiseau là, d'autres qui on une tête de chien ou de boeuf... Plus troublant sont leurs culbute, roulade, et autres facéties, car en effet, ces créatures semble se mouvoir de façon bizarre, soit en culbutant, sautillant, marcher sur les mains, marcher à quatre pattes (parfois à l'envers), etc. certains faisant même craquer leurs os... Pavel en compte environ une vingtaine.

Malgré d'être surpris d'être tombé sur ce qui pourrait passer pour une version plus sinistre d'un film de Jim Hansen, Pavel réussit à ne pas se faire repérer par les créatures...

Que fais-tu?


Pavel managed to get access to those mysterious sewers, but it will end up costing him...

Exploring the sewers, he eventually heard a distant laughter. Following it, he found about 20 weird creatures, varying in size from about 3 feet to over 7 feet. All have some sort of animalistic trait, from a lizard tail, to feathers, to having a dog's or ox's head. The creatures have a peculiar manner of walking around, either tumbling, jumping, walking on a sort of "reverse all-fours" or even cracking their own bones as they move...

Despite his surprise of having found such an odd obstacle, Pavel manages to remain hidden from the creatures.

What do you do?

"Come with you? What for, officer?" Jake speaks loudly, trying to buy time to think. He doesn't resist the officer, per se, but he does drag his feet a bit. He hopes whatever they are looking for out here shows back up. He assumes it is that wizard Victoria mentioned. "I'm retired from this job myself, wore the uniform for 17 years back home."
Feb 27, 2019 12:56 am
"Oh, you're an ex cop?" the SPVM officer looks a bit surprised while the suit looks more annoyed than anything else. "Well, alright, you should know that since you're not under arrest, you're in no obligation to come with us, but we would still like to talk to you about the woman you came here with. We believe that she might be a danger to herself and those around her because...uh... hum..."

The suit then cuts in "Infected by tachyon particles, this is what this little gadget detects. She probably was exposed to a cold fusion bomb, maybe she has a link to the terrorist we arrested here earlier. The fact that she disappeared in front of everyone might be a side-effect of that."
Damn, talk about bullshtting... that guys is not fucking around. Of course you know he's full of it since you know that Victoria is a wizard and this whole tachyon particles thing sounds like Star Trek techno-babble that nobody would buy, but surprisingly, the crowd of curious seem to actually buy it.

"Hum, yeah, what he said..." Continues the SPVM officer. "Listen sir, if you do not wish to come with us at the station, can we at least have your information so we can get into contact with you later? We really need to ask you questions about this woman. Like I said, she might be in danger... because of the... tachyon... things..."

What do you do?
Feb 27, 2019 4:07 am
Pictures! Pavel hastily thinks to himself. "It never happened if there's no evidence. He turns on the GPS tracker for his phone, marks his current location, and starts trying to take video and photos of the creatures. As best as he's able, he does all this without a sound, hoping against hope that they can't detect him. Questions start rolling over in his head as well.

These can't be ghosts, what are they? Why are there so many? How come they all look different? As much as possible, he tries to take in all the sensory stimulation he can.
OOC:
Do I need to roll to record/detect smells and sounds in US? I know I could roll for Perception in other games, but in US if I want senrory information what would be the best way to go? Also, am I going to need to roll for being quiet?
