"That doesn't look at all like some cult's symbol..."

Jack takes his envelope as well as Shani's since she doesn't wants hers, finds a more secluded place, and opens them both.

Nukux snatches his envelope then shoos away the child with his relatively large hands, Yes, yes.... Good, fine...you go now He briefly sniffs at the envelope before opening it. He is careful not to tear the symbol.

"Well, no one burst into flames or died on the spot, that's...good. Whatve we got fellas? Coupons to the sale at Macy's? Engraved invites to be part of the show at 11:30 tonight perhaps?" Her tone is incredibly sarcastic.

"Even better, our curiosity at this morbid case has earned us a formal invitation to the estate of the Urban Mystic in the Underground. Also, we're not to bring a vehicle or else we might find it on cinderblock once we leave the place... So I guess we're taking the bus?"
Mar 30, 2018 4:42 am
"An invitation...because we were standing around here by happenstance? They a psychic or something? Fortune teller or remote viewer? Does it say anything else?" Shani holds out her hand to accept her 'invite' finally.
OOC:
Is this Urban Mystic a name we know from rumor or personal experience at all?

OOC:
This is the first you've heard of the urban mystic
The commotion is calming down as the authorities have removed the 15 bodies from the scene. After pictures were taken an industrial cleaning crew began cleaning the asphalt wiht power washers. There's no sign of the urchin. The crowd is dispersing around you as the excitement is wearing off. Soon this looks like any number of other streets. The sun is going down. As it finally sets a car pulls up. You recognize the police officer that Jack questioned earlier as he drives through and stops near you.

Have you all been here the whole time? Jeez, my name is officer Ethan Shorn. I may have some information that we were able to gather in our investigation, you (Jack) being a newsman might be interested. I can't speak to you while on duty, but I have to talk to someone about this, someone who seems to care even a little bit. If you find yourself available reach out to me here. I listed a private number and my shift times at work, which is the only time I won't answer." He hands Jack a slip of paper with his information neatly printed on it. "No one investigating with me seem even a bit interested, and you three civilians went out of your way to try to gather more information, way more than normal rubber necking. Please reach out to me when you get a chance."

"Thank you officer, we have a prior engagement we need to attend to right now, but I promise I'll get to you the firs chance I get. Hmm, a quick question while you're here, nothing related to the case, but have you ever heard of the Urban Mystic?

There are stories of some guy calling him self that in the Underground. The stories I've heard he's kind of a kook. I mean that whole place is a shanty town but he's supposed to be building some kind shanty mansion. Haven't heard anything illegal though, which is rare for the Underground.
Mar 30, 2018 4:13 pm
"Thank you again officer. I won't be holding you any longer."

Jack then turns to the rest of the group.

"Alright, well like I was saying earlier, I guess we're taking the buss to the Underground then."

OOC:
Would you be looking for a route through the industrial complex or through the projects?
Mar 30, 2018 5:31 pm
"I try to avoid public transport as much as possible, usually don't need to use it much." She taps her broom gently on the sidewalk just to make a little noise with it. "You could fly with me Nukux, but that would leave you to fend for yourself Red. Need us to be your muscle Red for the ride to the Underground Jackie?"
OOC:
Not that I want to split the party, but Shani does usually travel "as the crow flies" most of the time. And her vote would be the projects unless the other way is significantly faster.

The end of Nukux hat flops erratically as he nods at Shani. Yes, yes...Nukux good co-pilot.
Mar 31, 2018 7:52 pm
"Well, guess I'm taking the buss alone. Alright, meet you later at the Urban Mystic then."

Nukux grabs Jack's hand as he begins to turn. He closes his eyes. His eyes shifting beneath the lids. He focuses on a single question. Should we proceed via the projects or the industrial complex?
OOC:
I believe Precognition PL3 Is enough to cover this.

Rolls

Precognition PL3 - (1d20, 2d6)

1d20 : (13) = 13

2d6 : (61) = 7

[ +- ] precognition level 3
A swell of wind catches a paper bus schedule and drags it east towards the projects, with it catching on a sign designating a corner bus stop that has a bus unloading passengers enroute to the projects.
OOC:
Due to embracing the socially awkward glad by prefering to bus alone thereby splitting up the party, Kalajel take a legend point
Apr 1, 2018 1:19 pm
Nukux points to the bus stop. Jack... Projects bus... Yes, yes, best way to go.
Apr 1, 2018 4:55 pm
"Thanks short stop."

Jack then walks towards the bus stop which will take him through the Projects, not quite looking on his trip in a potentially cramped buss... then looking forward to it even less when he realizes he's also going to have to take a buss trip back...

Crimson Jack is correct. As he pays his busfare he steps into a very crowded bus. In fact many people are standing toward the front and making your way to the back is difficult. Though as you do you see an empty spot right in the middle of the bench seat in the back. Other passengers don't seem to acknowledge it. Even the two sititng on either side of it, a college aged kid, and a tech infused gent seem to be keeping their eyes averted from it.
