"So, Nukux, want to grab a coffee on the way? I know a spot that literally makes the best cuppa in town." Shani sits astride her broom and activates the simple levitation spell she uses and raises her feet hooking them behind her. Then she lowers to the ground to allow the smaller man to climb on.

Of course, people standing at the front of the bus when there are benches left further back... a classic! If they don't sit in this bench, there has to be a reason... Jack will observe the bench.

Rolls

Perception (advantage 1 with Well-Rounded) - (1d20, 1d20)

1d20 : (19) = 19

1d20 : (6) = 6

You don't perceive anything dangerous, no trap, magic or otherwise. The feeling you get is an event occurred that pushed the people to the front, something rather unpleasant. You also notice a faint odor in the air as though someone had been sick recently. Then you notice in a trash receptical that there is a white paper bag that typically is used to carry fast food. You a greenish yellow hue beginning to permeate through thebag from the bottom to top. Someone had been carsick at the back of the bus, managed to collect it in the bag, but the collective experience of watch someone retching on public transit coupled with the faint scent of the garbage was too much for a majority of the crowd. The seat seems perfectly fine.

Of course, the whole public transportation experience would not be complete without some un pleasant odour... Jack sits in the seat, kind of glad he's wearing a mask to filter the odours a bit. He then look on the commuters on either side of him, making small talk about the unpleasant odour.

"Eh, public transportation... Am I right?"

here's the shoehorned means to introduce our two new characters

Josh pauses from his book Theories and Applications of Mystical Physics to look up at the guy speaking to him..

"Oh? That guy? I think it's the second or third time this month he's done that. Your typical drunkard that can't hold his booze. Give it another 2-3 stops and you won't even smell it anymore."
Apr 2, 2018 9:30 pm
"Oh great, I'm on the drunkard line... Well, hopefully you're right, because I'm here for more than a couple of stops, I need to get to the Underground, got invited to some... erm... club... or something... I guess."

Jack makes sure his letter is still in his pocket.
Apr 3, 2018 1:52 pm
Josh closes his book and looks over. "Which club are you looking for? I'm familiar with some of them. What's your interest?"

The little man clambers up onto the broom. Then stands on it. His large hands grip Shani’s shoulders tightly as he peeks over. Nukux scowls and shakes his head vigorously, sending his hat into a fresh bout of flopping. No, no... Nukux too jittery for coffee...decaf bad too....Nukux will get pastry

"Have you ever heard of the Urban Mystic. Me and a few friends just got some invitations. Looks to be a pretty select place if it's by invitations only."
Apr 3, 2018 7:01 pm
"Sounds like a plan." Shani's broom slowly rises into the air and turns toward the Projects. Once she is above the nearest building she wills the broom forward, steadily getting up to speed so Nukux can keep his footing.

She flies flies toward the Wide Awake, glad she isn't stuck on the confines of the crowded bus like Jack. "If we're lucky, Mable will have a fresh batch of Goblin Rum Patsys when we get there." the witch offers to her new co-pilot.

While on the way to the Wide Awake Nukux notices graffiti that stands out against the Projects' typical street art. In a deep blood red, you notice clocks, hourglasses, sundials, phrases like "it's about time," "tick-tock," and "It's getting late"

What kind of role would I need to make to see if I know the place he mentioned? I have Learning 4 and Perception 2.

OOC:
Apologies, I was going to reply yesterday, but the nine circles of hell opened. Closed now, not to worry.
Also, I'm not sure if I need to roll for the effect of this action, but throwing a little gadget that's going to spread a film over the top of the garbage and make it smell like a nice summers rain in the tram car.
Ethan walks to the odorous bin and tosses an object inside, a short "pfft" sound goes off and suddenly the tram car no longer smells of sick. I never did like public transport. He shrugs the sleeves of his coat pulling up exposing a metallic surface underneath. But I suppose beggers can't be choosers. Shooting the conversing group a smile.

OOC:
Josh I would say, that given the context of what is already known about UM, a learning roll of 1d20+1d10.
Ethan, no roll for this context.
Apr 4, 2018 7:32 pm
Josh looks over to the gentleman and says: "May I see the invitation?"

Rolls

Learning - (1d20+1, 1d10)

1d20+1 : (8) + 1 = 9

1d10 : (3) = 3

"That is ominous." Shani says as she slows down. Carefully she takes her phone out and takes a photo of some of the graffiti. It can't be coincidental.

"What's your take Nukux?"
Apr 4, 2018 9:53 pm
"Here, though you might be a bit confused if you haven't heard about the bodies suddenly appearing in the Base..."

Jack will show Josh his envelope.
Apr 4, 2018 10:32 pm
Bodies? Ethan gets closer to the groups Has there been many?
Apr 4, 2018 11:08 pm
Jack nods to the newcomer for having thrown the malodorous bag outside the bus. As he asks his question, Jack respond.

"Oh, about two dozen. It was quite the crowd. I wasn't there when they appeared, but apparently, one minute there's nothing, then this red mist rolls around, and when the mist clears, there's all those bodies, emptied of their blood, with the missing blood all neatly pooled into a symbol which looked like a clock face showing 11:30. That's when what looked like a street urchin came out of nowhere and gave us the invitations to me and a few acquaintances of mine."
