*Arrived to meet Craig outside, never having actually been here. She'd driven her Element tonight. She wears uncharacteristic tattered blue jeans, a white athletic shirt and a thin, bright red cardigan, bright red Chuck Taylor high top sneakers. She has a neat, tailored blazer style black leather jacket on. She looks for Craig outside before approaching the door.*

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:11:06 PM)
*craig drives - although they can follow if they perfer. his car is a little black JDM Mitsubishi Eclipse... that means he drives on the wrong side of the car...*

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:11:36 PM)
The Zanelli estate is much like it has been for the last months though now its gardens are now unattended, the building in all its peculiarities with flowing wave roof and different gardens - each plot different - showing the lack of tending. It looks unlived in.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:13:31 PM)
*looked over the grounds, remembering Olivia had said she didn't stay here anymore. She has prime sight operating as she looks around (2x)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:13:49 PM)
*He got out, glanced around, and headed over to Saffron in a black t-shirt and DKNY jeans and a pair of Converse all stars...*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:15:32 PM)
*gave her usual subtle nod* Craig. If you could show me around please?

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:16:17 PM)
The place has its uncharactistics in terms of changability of Olivia still even now seen but otherwise, its just another house - albiet a rather strange one. Olivia having given Craig the key to the house, not having been able to cope with coming today ... not at all.

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:17:26 PM)
*He walked with her, pointing out what he'd noticed on prior trips, and giving a brif run down of what the garden's normally were like... then inside they went and to the study...* So here's where he was whwn he was grabbed, these open drawers are the ones that had the remains of the bugs in them...

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:18:22 PM)
(was there anything outside specifically that I should know because OOC I know nothing about this place :) )

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:19:09 PM)
(every garden in the house has different manner, its much like olivia herself)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:20:51 PM)
(There's really nothing other than the places really unusual appearance outside so far as I recall...)

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:21:58 PM)
(Caleb was an architect, its water inspired, by Katrina, ie. the wave roof, also its not gated like most of the properties about)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:22:03 PM)
(I was moslty asking Craig, he said he was explaining stuff he'd seen but I didn't know what he saw outside :) ) *she walked into the study* How many bugs were there remains of, do you know?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:24:33 PM)
*He shook his head* A lot. ALl of it's in the garage at my place, you can have access to that later. *he gestured around* This was d - e - d dead. I couldn't see anything and the primium kind of... it was hard to figure anything out with that shit in here.

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:27:05 PM)
The office is still rather ramshackle, bits of paper and stationary are strewn about. The desk itself sitting forlornly in the middle with its chair off at an askew angle. Paperwork upon it left never finished. Books in the shelves of the library in the wall all still perfectly in their place. Its not much more a "normal" office - albiet very well disturbed and previously well to do.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:27:24 PM)
*nodded* I am trying to figure out how numbers affect the field they produce. And if someone broke in here carrying enough to inhibit Olivia, how did they come and go? If by magic that would be interesting to reason out, how. *looks around* You are Akashic, have you tried using Time since the primium was removed?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:28:39 PM)
I don't have the time arcana. Correspondence, Prime, Forces, Mind of course.... but I can't yet look across time. *he gestured* There's one very powerful mage I know, and that's Ma, and so I think if anyone could just... overpower the field that primium generates it would be her...

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:29:14 PM)
*nodded.* I am only initiate myself. We should try to find someone more capable. *thinks* Besides the primium, what else did you move? *taking in the location of everything and trying to reconstruct movement within the room the night of the incident based on where things lay.*

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:30:11 PM)
(roll an investigation saffron, if you want anything)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:30:25 PM)
Nothing. Just got it and got out. Fast.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:33:51 PM)
(3x Perception + Investigation.) I can understand. Olivia said the sensation was unpleasant. I myself did not spend a great deal of time near the insects I saw either, for fear they would activate, or somehow alert the Technocracts to my proximity.

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:34:09 PM)
Whatever happened happened rather fast, it still looks a little like he was working and not much more than that when he was taken. The other strewn articles appear as much distractions to make that fact less obvious, they happened after the fact.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:36:27 PM)
There are staged elements to the pattern of the misplaced. A deception. The incident was over as quickly as it began. *moving around stepping over things.* Without Time, and assuming the primium did not mask the movements perceivable with Time, I cannot say more. *she began to look over the papers on the floor looking to see if there's anything else there left deliberately.*

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:37:03 PM)
if you don't work magick, I doubt they can track you. They're too small for the *really* invasive sensors I've seen on technocrats before... I'm no expert, but I just don't see it. Now, here's the thing, here's what *I* am wondering... hear me out.

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:38:38 PM)
*He moved behind the desk.* Zanelli is here, the bugs are not. Ma comes in, she uses some HIGH powered magick to keep Olivia in the dark, because Olivia is... pretty fucking powerful in her own right. So Ma comes in to grab Zanelli, and the bugs show up on cue because of Ma's power... now there's a struggle, but Ma just... ends them, and poof, off with Zanelli. We know the bugs only hit the awakened so far, right? Zanelli would be the only consor, so I think the bugs showed up because of whoever took Zanelli, not the other way around.

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:40:36 PM)
(i'll jump in at appropriate points, for now i'm just letting you talk this out) Upon the desk, nothing astounding, theres some information, beaurocratic red tape still hindering the Katrina museum.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:42:49 PM)
*nodded* I was using magic when I first encountered them. Or trying. The imago collapsed instantly, never formed into magic... so I was appropriately concerned that if I had awakened even one of them, staying there was not an option. I closed the compartment and left shortly after... *thinks on Craigs hypothesis and reading the political-bureaucratic papers about the museum* I was thinking, since the bugs were neatly arranged in the desk, that whomever took him brought them in themselves to keep Olivia at bay, part of the plan. You disagree?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:44:00 PM)
*craig rubbed a hand through his hair... alternative... the bugs were here for Zanelli... and Ma saw it, or Pa, he helped get isabel out of a bind once before, and Pa could have come in and gotten Zanelli out... but the bugs COULD be here to cover the back trail and keep Olivia at bay..

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:44:56 PM)
(intel + invest + specialty (Pure logical deduction -- can Saffron tell exactly who's behind the inhibitions to the museum, politics/bureaucracy speaking?)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:45:14 PM)
Either way, I don't think it was the Technocrats... the Technocrats would view a wild talent like Olivia as a reality deviant and tag her. But if someone powerful enough was shutting the bugs down, they could also have just... stopped them from communicating back to their comptroller...

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:46:33 PM)
Olivia agrees with that much. she suspects a third party is using magi for other, foul plans to awaken the city. They could still use destroyed bugs as a tool. You're theory is equally possible. I agree Ma remains a likely suspect, but we can continue to look for others that may also be involved.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:46:42 PM)
(bah, 2x on that roll)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:47:10 PM)
(I've been forgetting to post stuff like rolls for days now. I think I need to start drinking again)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:47:49 PM)
(ROFL)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:48:12 PM)
*He paused* We need to find someone who's got a significant ability with the time Sphere. Only person I know of is Xander...

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:48:37 PM)
(the conservative aspects of the city, whether religion or beaurocratic Saffron) As they're talking the phone rings. Startling them both undoubtedly. The odds on something like that being completely normal - right now? Unlikely. (also, roll perception+alert)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:49:01 PM)
(hmmm, those "conservative aspects" go back to Edith Boggs?)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:50:14 PM)
(perc alert 1x) *Saffron looked at the phone, then at Craig to see if he'd move to answer. Otherwise, she would. This was not coincedence.*

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:50:17 PM)
(2 sux at dif 6)

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 10:50:29 PM)
*the phone isn't plugged in*

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:50:37 PM)
*Craig's eyes narrowed, he looked around* Get it. I'll watch your back...

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:51:03 PM)
*reached for the not-phone, picked it up* Hello?

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:52:42 PM)
Pa. I do not know you at all. We have never met. *she stays on the line.* And do what do I owe this timely but unorthodox call?

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:53:20 PM)
(and to what* Yes, I will start drinking. going to get a beer)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:53:34 PM)
*Craig nodded, this was what he expected...*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:55:26 PM)
28 McAndrews Bay *she said aloud to see if Craig knew the place. Then she blinks as she realizes the address* And our safety is guaranteed? *she listened to his voice to reason out sincerity without a target for a Mind examination.*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:56:34 PM)
(mmmm, delicious beer. beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer. Yes, you can blame Finn for this behavior. Pumpkin spice beer to be exact. Leftover from Thanksgiving.)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:57:31 PM)
(Knock that shit off. I can't get within 150 miles of a beer until the 2nd you bum)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:57:38 PM)
*Craig listened, but said nothing...*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 10:58:07 PM)
(you need near beer!)

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 10:58:22 PM)
(Ain't got none of that neither.)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:00:02 PM)
(p) All I can do is relay your message. As I have not met you, and thus have no history, I will attend shortly. (2x Wits + Empathy to decide if he's intending bad things)

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:00:42 PM)
*covers the phone* He says Ma is not responsible, and he has something to show us down where I recovered the van. Beyond the levee.

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 11:01:04 PM)
*He nodded* i'll go. I don't like it but I have... little chocie.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:01:32 PM)
*nodded to Craig* (p) We will arrive shortly. Is that acceptable?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 11:02:30 PM)
*he nodded back, looked around. Another clue. Not that he would trust anything coming from Pa, but... he had no choice. So this was how it would be, and he would play his own cards close to his vest.*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:03:17 PM)
*she says goodbye and hangs up* I stand corrected. He did not say Ma was not involved. Just that she will not be there. This could be very dangerous. Do you have an exit strategy in the event this is well beyond us?

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:04:01 PM)
*Saffron looked around with her prime sight for any sign of magical eavesdroping. She'd be blunt about it since she knew it was likely.*

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 11:04:37 PM)
(if theres any sign, its above and beyond her abilities. Or has stopped prior to the looking about)

Tohunga (Feb 18, 2011 11:05:02 PM)
(or :) simply wasn't there at all :) )

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:05:09 PM)
*she took one last look around recording as much of the room into her memory as possible. then turned to the door.* Shall we?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 11:06:17 PM)
Yeah. Yeah if we get jumped I use mundane attacks and we both use counter - magick with prime as much as we possibly can. *he sighed* I don't think it's a trap, these people like to play too damn much. Let's go see what's up.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:07:15 PM)
*she'd head outside the way she came in stumping along with her cane, back to the cars* Two cars or one?

Craig Killian (Feb 18, 2011 11:07:55 PM)
*He thought* Two cars, we stop a block up on MacAndrews and park my car, if something happens we've got a back up close at hand then.

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:09:06 PM)
*nodded and climbed into her element* He seemed quiet aware of where we were and what we were doing. I do not think we will be surprising them *closed the door and started her vehicle.*

Saffron Dorsey (Feb 18, 2011 11:09:12 PM)
