The non-local Agents find a cheap, 2-star hotel a few blocks away from the apartment called Hotel 31, and take the evidence with them until they meet back up with Kylie in the afternoon. Kylie heads back to her Queens apartment. All the agents are ready for a bit of shuteye.
OOC:
I'd recommend at some point tracing back through the Log to see what evidence you've collected so far. No pressure to do so before returning to the Macallistar Building (or like ever), but you guys pulled a lot out of that initial search of the apartment.

Anyways - shall we cut to the agents reconvening at the Macallistar in the afternoon? Or is there anything you'd like to do aside from rest up in the meantime?

OOC:
I'm fine cutting.

None of you have hit your breaking point yet, right?
Nov 19, 2019 4:33 pm
OOC:
what is this breaking point :D
Nov 19, 2019 4:38 pm
OOC:
Almost positive you haven't yet, Cave - if anyone has, it'd likely be Karl or Kylie though I don't think they have yet.

Basically, your breaking point equals your starting SAN minus POW (for example, if your starting POW is 12, you start with 60 SAN and your breaking point is 48). When you hit your breaking point, you take on a new disorder and reset your breaking point to your current SAN minus POW.

OOC:
OH! thats an actual thing :D i was joking... so no thats a solid nope for me
Nov 19, 2019 4:53 pm
OOC:
Just checked - no one is there yet. Karl is the closest, I think. He had a rough time in that apartment.

Anyhow, no one went temporarily insane at any point, and no one has taken on a new disorder, so you're all able to get to sleep without issue and get the equivalent of a full night's rest.

Everyone regains 1D6 WP, up to your maximum.
The Agents return to the Macallistar building in the mid-afternoon to continue their investigation. The street and building look much the same as it did yesterday. Same newspapers and coupon mailings piled up on the stoop. Same mailboxes stuffed to the brim. The exterior of the Macallistar belies the bizarre situation within.
OOC:
Ball is fully in your court, what's the plan?

"Ohh! Man that was an awkward day. So anyone got any ideas today?" Kirby comes in fully dressed for the occasion this time.

Karl stands outside the Macallistar building, looking mostly rested. He's dressed like an extra in a crime procedural drama: FBI Agent #3, or some nonsense. "I'm not sure how we're going to do it, but that script keeps coming back to mind. I'd like to see if we can get to the bottom of what it means.

He looks around to the others. "Any other opinions?"

Kylie shows back there with her old model Mercerdes, despite many hours of contemplating finding something less insane to do with her time.

"Is there a basement, or crawlspace? Maybe the numbering is off."

"I agree we should check for a basement, and revisit the entire set of room and building numbers. I also think we should do some old fashioned legwork. Let's hit the surrounding neighbourhood, ask about the tenants of this building, whether they've been seen recently, what did they buy or do. Or call their employers. Remember the foyer and the letter boxes look like no one's bothered to collect their mail." King reappeared in his usual suit ensemble, already puffing on a cigarette.

OOC:
There is a basement - a door is accessible from the front of the building, down a flight of stairs to a lower recess beneath the stoop.
[ +- ] Front of Building - "You Are Here"
The central staircase inside provides access as well.

Proposed courses of action:
-Check out basement
-Revisit rooms/room numbers
-Ask around neighborhood about tenants
-Research tenants (call employers, etc)

Who's going to do what?

OOC:
OH SHoot! A legit map !!! me like!
Kirby would follow the suggestion about checking out the basement.
Nov 20, 2019 6:21 pm
OOC:
Oh, I have a whole legit map. I haven't posted it yet bc of **secrets** but perhaps I can sneakily edit them out. I'll see what I can do - I agree, having a floor plan of the home would be a boon for you guys.
Nov 20, 2019 6:38 pm
OOC:
Yep. Edited it. Sorry I didn't do this years ago. Added it to the very first post in the log as well.

LOL I never even noticed that!

From the scenario as written: "Each bathroom has an old-fashioned hammered-tin ceiling and most have a toilet and claw-foot bathtub placed where it was most expedient for a water hook-up."

It's an old building ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That's all I'll say for now. Perhaps there's more to be learned.
