'...for once I would like to finish pretending to make plan before we decide to do something completely different' Lex delivers deadpan even as she walks quickly to the door, eager to get inside and start investigating

As Aliya walks past Charlie, she gives her a smile and a pat on the shoulder. "You don't need to apologize for being smart. Just do you and let the world deal."

Charlie only barely manages to stop herself from apologizing to Aliya as well. Once she enters the bar as the last person of the group, she asks shyly: "What exactly are we looking for now?"
Apr 30, 2020 8:30 pm
"Not sure...anything that don’t belong in a bar or anything that could be related to the victims"

Jack looks around, trying to get a sense of the building.

'Or anything that could prove something shady is going on' Lex hops over the bar. She was eager to use her powers but she told herself to wait. She'd done the drunk recall before and it was not enjoyable. 'If they have any kind of lost property maybe I could see if any belongs to the victims.' Even as she speaks she goes to pour herself a shot. They wouldn't miss one, and it would keep the edge off while she waited for the others to find something useful.

Aliya's going to nose around and see if she can find an office, or what would serve as an office for the bar owner.

Charlie wanders around the bar, looking for anything that might be out of place, but with no particular strategy behind her search.

Aliya finds a room in the kitchen, really not much more than an over-sized closet. The door is locked, but flashing a light through the narrow window above the knob reveals a computer on a folding table, several file boxes, a short three draw metal filing cabinet and a medium sized safe. Several knick-knacks and pictures on the wall add up to make this the office she is looking for. But the door is locked.

Jack wanders around getting the layout. There is the main room, with the bar and the tables, a short hall with bathrooms for one person at a time, and a back room with two dart board and a pool table. This room isn't really big enough for regulation darts. The thrower would have to stand in front of the bathroom, but the line of the floor is a good two feet forward of that. Circling around from the bathrooms is a door leading upstairs that says "Employees Only" but isn't locked. A brief glimpse inside tells him upstairs is mostly storage for non-food pub items, toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins being the obvious at a glance. Not very interesting, but has the potential to conceal more. In the back corner of the pool room sit a claw machine, and two video game cabinets. One is Hot-Shot Golf, the other is completely blank. Since the power is out, all screens and lights are off.

Behind the bar Charlie opens a cabinet under the register. There is a small safe with a box of seemingly random junk. Keys, wallets, loose IDs, toys from the claw machine, and two trucker hats with rather crude jokes printed on them. This is probably the lost and found box.

"Uhmm, Lex? Can you... would you mind... I found something," she says. When Lex comes over, she points out the lost and found box and says: "Maybe something here belongs to the victims? But I don't know, maybe not."

Aliya pulls what at first glance appears to be a booby pin from her short black hair. On closer inspection, its made of a much heavier construction. She unfolds it and locks it into its open position, and begins using it to work the lock. "Well, at least this part feels familiar," she thinks to herself.
OOC:
Aliya's going to try to use her B&E skills to pick the lock. I'm hoping this would be Speed and not Intellect, but I'll list both for the roll, just in case.

'Atta girl' Despite the words they are delivered in her usual monotone. She downs a second shot before pouring one and sliding it towards Charlie. She crouches by the safe.

'Violet, go through the ID's, and see if the wallets have ID in them, see if any are our dearly departed. Any without ID put in a pile' She states as she picks up key. Keys were they would likely have more information than stuffed toys. She took her breath, telling herself to only focus on the surface remnants first. She needed to sort through all this stuff quickly to find out if there as anything valuable. Then she finally give in to a full read.

'We may as ell keep any money as well. Then if they figure out we broke in, they'll think we were after that'
OOC:
Using her trick to see if there anything interesting basically. Order is likely keys, hats, any wallet without id in it, then the toys

Charlie gets to work following Lex' orders. She goes through the IDs, looking for the victims. She also goes through the wallets, putting all the money on one pile and sorting the wallets according to Lex' suggestion.
She leaves the shot untouched and only if she feels Lex looking at her expectantly about it, she takes a tiny sip of it now and then.

Li Keqin is taking an innovative approach to investigation, which consists of walking around and pointing Gideon at different parts of the bar. The logic was that Gideon, with his natural instincts, would react abnormally to anything unnatural or dangerous, such as traces of a VVytch.

Jack walks around the building disinterestedly, nothing really looks too much out of the ordinary. After considering the different rooms, he decides that the supply closet might be worth rummaging through.
