New page

* Analisa has a message WW'd to rachel that things have hit the fan -_-
* Rachel_ had to attend the meeting with Anastasius which she made as quick as possible because of this message, and she gets Janus (or someone; he just seemed most logical) to zap her home immediately afterwards.
* Carmen is a young wilder boggan with sandy hair. She is usually rather cute in a chubby kind of way, but at the moment her face is red and blotchy, her eyes puffy from crying as she bawls on Analisa's shoulder.
<Trolius> (err, what about me? :o )
<Rachel_> (You had to wait for me while I spoke with Anastasius and can come home now too if you aren't going to break the news to me in Wales. ;_;)
<Trolius> (no, I'm not)
<Rachel_> (bastard)
* Rachel_ and Trolius appear in her study, and she goes to find Analisa immediately.
* Carmen is sobbing loudly as you arrive in Analisa's office.
* Analisa is not to far away.... just follow the sond of crying Boggans
<Analisa> (Her = rchel, I believe)
* Rachel_ does. ;_;
<Carmen> (or wherever)
<Analisa> How, terrible, just terrible :(
* Rachel_ tries to look strong and capable although she does not feel it.
<Analisa> (kitchen!)
<Carmen> Oh I just couldn't... I couldn't...
<Carmen> Oh...
<Analisa> I know, shhhh.... here, I'll fix you some tea :/
* Rachel_ hurries in to the kitchen and crouches before the crying boggans.
* Carmen realizes the Baroness has entered the room, and quickly tries to dry her eyes
* Analisa isn't crying
<Rachel_> What has happened?
<Carmen> Your Ladyship!
<Carmen> ;_;
* Analisa does look upset though
* Carmen looks to Analisa.
* Analisa curtseys
* Rachel_ asks, managing to look sympathetic while sounding businesslike.
* Carmen curtseys as well, if a little unsteadily.
* Trolius follows after the Baroness
<Analisa> It's Mayline....
<Rachel_> (who is that?)
* Carmen tries to suppress another sob.
<Carmen> (A boggan charged with looking after childlings while their parents are a-workin'(
<Analisa> (Mayline: a locl boggan renown for her jams and jellies ;)
<Analisa> (Also that ;)
<Carmen> I... I went to find her when she didn't come to lunch... I thought she just hadn't heard the bell...
* Analisa shakes her head
* Carmen explains haltingly.
* Rachel_ softens her voice to match her expression.
* Analisa glances about the room, and bustles about getting tea and such
<Carmen> Something... something *awful* happened to her!! *sob, sob*
<Rachel_> Come, sit down. You can tell me while you're sitting just as easily.
* Carmen will shakily take a seat then.
* Rachel_ lays her hand gently on Carmen's shoulder and guides her to the kitchen table, where she sits the boggan down and sits herself beside you.
* Trolius glances at Analisa
<Carmen> It was... it was in the orchard... They were playing... in the orchard... and the trees...
* Trolius goes over to help with the tea, kinda
<Trolius> <q> where;'s the Captain?
<Carmen> The trees... were... covered... with...b-b-b-blood.
* Carmen covers her face and dissolves into sobs.
* Analisa glances at T, but then goes over to her friend
* Rachel_ puts her arm around Carmen's shoulder and pulls her close for a comforting hug.
* Carmen cries inconsolably.
* Analisa pets carmen's hand comfortingly
* Carmen settles down after another few minutes of heavy sobbing...
<Rachel_> It's all right... cry if you need to. There's no shame in it.
* Rachel_ says gently while Carmen is still crying.
<Carmen> I... I found her by the climbing tree...
* Analisa glances at rachel next
<Carmen> In. In. In *pieces*
<Analisa> He's out examining the fire....
* Carmen wipes her eyes again, hands shaking.
<Analisa> Oh :O
<Rachel_> (Do I know Carmen's name, is she someone I'd met before?)
* Carmen looks up at Analisa.
* Analisa looks horrified at that, which is news to her :o
<Carmen> Did they... did they find Tyler? ;_;
<Rachel_> Fire?
* Rachel_ looks towards Analisa, wanting an explanation... mauling *and* a fire?
<Analisa> Zahra will find him...
* Analisa says soothingly
* Carmen sniffs miserably.
* Analisa seems like she is doing her best to hold together, but is a little overwhelmed herself
<Carmen> (I don't know if you'd know me by name, that's up to you... you'd certainly have met me before)
<Rachel_> (That's fine, but I need more info if I'm to do anything.)
<Rachel_> (I'd remember your name if I'd met you.)
<Carmen> (groovy then B)
<Rachel_> (Carmen is a childling?)
<Analisa> Jedry Wilkes's workshop..... We don't know if he was in there or not. It went up so facst, with all those componds he was using...
<Carmen> (no... a wilder)
<Analisa> Firmin's not back yet so I don't know more than that
<Carmen> ( ayoung wilder, about 14-15)
<Rachel_> When did the fire occur, and when the mauling? Same time?
<Rachel_> . o O (How on earth are alligators getting to the orchard? It's no where near a river. Damn them!)
<Carmen> <m> Oh, oh, poor little Tyler.
<Analisa> The fire was.... sometime late last night?
* Carmen rocks gently back and forth in her chair.
* Rachel_ gives Carmen another comforting squeeze.
<Analisa> the othr.... would have been this morning, a few hours before lunch...
<Analisa> at the most.
* Rachel_ nods.
* Analisa wrongs her hands
<Rachel_> Trolius, we're going to the orchard.
<Analisa> (wrings, and goes to get mugs out of the cupboard... but her hands are shaking
<Trolius> alright.
* Trolius gets two mugs for Analisa and Carmen
<Trolius> here, ladies.... we'll take care of things.
<Trolius> Is Zahra out there?
* Rachel_ passes Carmen off to Analisa's care once more.
<Carmen> ;_;
* Analisa makes tea, and will sit with her friend :/
<Analisa> She's out looking for the boy.... I'm not sure where she's at now :/
* Carmen will shakily hold onto her mug. ;_;
<Rachel_> We'll see what we can find out. I'm so sorry...
* Trolius nods
* Rachel_ looks sadly at the two boggans.
<Trolius> Come on.
* Trolius says to rachel.
<Rachel_> Analisa, we'll be back as soon as we can after doing a thorough investigation. Meanwhile, you've got to hold thigns together here.
* Rachel_ is confident that she can do that.
<Analisa> I will
* Rachel_ smiles confidently at Analisa, in fact...
<Rachel_> I know you will. Thank you.
* Analisa smiles bravely
* Rachel_ hurries out with Trolius.
* Analisa thnks of all the times she went through in the common law era, all the people we ost then.... and steels herself to handle this
* Rachel_ will get Trolius to do a Backward Glance again in the orchard...
<Rachel_> (See if it was a mokole again. :/)
<Trolius> Jesus!
<Trolius> o_O
<Trolius> how about we just look at *that*? o-O
*** Carmen is now known as Suze
* Rachel_ is looking at remains. If we can tell what it was no need for the Backward Glance of course.
* Trolius points out a large footprint with three large claws pressed into the dry surface of the earth
<Suze> (the poor little boggan is perforated... and some of her limbs have been slashed off)
* Rachel_ nods.
* Rachel_ looks for other body parts, in case more than one was killed.
<Suze> (you find no other bits)
<Trolius> tre tracks just sort of 8end* here...
* Rachel_ nods wearily.
<Rachel_> The Prodigals have their own sorts of Arts.
<Rachel_> At least eh Garou do so by extension I imagine the mokole do.
<Rachel_> Well... obviously, keeping people away from the water isn't going to be enough.
<Trolius> Hmm.
<Trolius> It was big.... bigger than most of the orchard trees, anyway :/
<Trolius> ...
<Rachel_> They can take on weird forms. Dragons and dinosaurs, apparently. A T Rex, this one might have been...
<Trolius> that one guy did, ahh, turn into a guy, you know...
<Trolius> hmm.
<Trolius> What's a T rex?
* Rachel_ also has some investigation and will take a look at the holes in the corpse... what is the diameter on them and do they go right through the body?
<Trolius> (I can't tell you that off the top of my head, but you don't think that it looks like what you would get with a T-rex)
<Suze> (Hmm... I don't know the exact diameter, but I'll tell you if something comes up for relevant comparison later on)
<Rachel_> It's a huge, imagine two stories high, carnivorous dinosaur. It walked bipedally; its front claws were pretty much useless. But who needs arms when you have six-inch razor sharp recurved teeth?
<Suze> (the location of the bitemarks leads you to think this thing had a narrower jaw than you'd imagine a T-Rex to have... I mean, TR could probably have fit the whole boggan in his mouth :V )
<Rachel_> (Do the tracks in fact look like T Rex tracks which I have undoubtedly seen in books since I have two brothers, let alone maybe I myself had an interest in dinosaurs? I just assumed by the description of "large footprint with three large claws that it was something Sauropod-like)
<Analisa> I don't think that fits, then...
<Suze> (also the slashing wounds suggest claw damage, whereas, as you just pointed out, T Rex's forelimbs were next to useless)
<Rachel_> No, not a T Rex.
<Suze> (yes, the footprint is similar to what you would expect a T Rex to be)
<Rachel_> It used claws... see?
<Rachel_> (What about a velociraptor? :D)
<Suze> (but lots of dinos have 3 toes)
<Trolius> yes, that's whayt I was hgoing to say
<Suze> (tell me your score in science and I'll let you know ;)
*** Analisa has quit IRC (Quit: �)
<Rachel_> (2)
<Suze> (anyway, I think raptors are 3-toed, yeah)
<Trolius> (Albertasaurus! ;D)
<Rachel_> (I can tell it's an Albertasaurus with 2 dots in Science? ;D)
<Trolius> (It isn't)
<Rachel_> (I know - they're just an even bigger T Rex)
<Rachel_> (Could it be a megaraptor or is it something smaller? ;D)
<Suze> (You don't know)
<Suze> (2 dots of science is not going to give you a species based on a footprint)
*** Rum-away has joined #changeling
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Rum-away
<Suze> (certainly not without even taking any measurements, or referencing books, etc)
<Trolius> (I imagine rachel can think of all kinds of nasty potential candidates, but doesn't really have the knowledge to eliminate many of them)
<Rachel_> Anyway, it was big and reptilian.
<Suze> (exactly)
<Trolius> MMm.
<Rachel_> I think it's safe to say it was them.
<Trolius> I guess it doesn't realy matter what it is called :p
*** Rumor has quit IRC (Ping timeout�)
* Rachel_ wipes her face.
<Trolius> Are you okay?
* Rachel_ nods.
<Trolius> okay.
<Trolius> What more can we do here?
<Rachel_> Come on, we should bring her home and wash her, get her ready for the funeral...
<Trolius> Do you want to go out and check in with Firmin?
<Trolius> Rachel.... She's in *bits*
<Trolius> We'd nedd.... a basket.
<Trolius> We can't just bring her back like this
<Rachel_> Yes, well we're not leaving her out here to ROT.
<Rachel_> You go find Firmin, I'll take care of her.
<Trolius> No.
* Rachel_ says angrily.
* Trolius sighs
<Rachel_> (The orchard isn't far from the house.)
* Rachel_ shakes her head.
<Rachel_> I'm sorry, Sir Trolius.
<Trolius> That wasn't what I meant.
<Rachel_> I didn't mean to yell. I'm just... it's not easy.
<Trolius> I know.
<Rachel_> And it's going to keep happening, it won't stop until they are satisfied that we are even.
<Rachel_> I can't change that.
<Trolius> :(
<Rachel_> I can't do anything except give them the respect they deserve when they die.
<Trolius> Well do our best to make sure it isn'teasy for them.
* Rachel_ means her own people there.
* Trolius nods
<Rachel_> We can't fight back; they'll just take more. We can't turn this into a blood feud, because we won't win.
<Trolius> And you will... we just have to be a little realistic about it.
<Rachel_> Well, I wasnt suggesting she have an open coffin for her wake.
<Trolius> yeah, I didn't think so ---
<Rachel_> Just, go on. I'll do what I can here... We have to find out whether the fire was an accident or another attack.
<Trolius> I'm not suggesting we fight back either...\
<Trolius> jnust that we don't have to make it easy for them to target us
<Trolius> okay.
<Rachel_> Well, now I know that just staying away from the water isn't safe enough.
<Rachel_> Now that I know they're able to become dragons and dinosaurs...
<Trolius> We'll work it out. I'll go find Firmin.
<Trolius> ...
<Rachel_> I don't know where anyone would be safe.
<Rachel_> The house is wood. It could burn just as easily.
<Trolius> Don't forget the people part either. peoaple are dangerous enough.
<Rachel_> That's why I need to know whether the fire was an attack.
<Rachel_> If it was, we'll have to send people away.
<Trolius> I'll let you now
<Rachel_> Burn the house down while we're I'll sleeping, and they'd get a whole lot of us all at once.
<Rachel_> (I don't know how that "I'll" got in there.)
<Trolius> I htink that might be a bit of overkill, don't you?
<Trolius> We can't abandon the freehold :o
<Rachel_> I didn't say abandon it.
<Rachel_> I can cook and clean.
<Trolius> You're not staying there alone.
<Rachel_> I'm the baroness. I have an obligation to keep the balefire burning.
<Rachel_> Well, I'm not keeping staff I don't need if we're just setting ourselves up as a target.
<Trolius> that;s fine, but you're not staying there alone.
<Rachel_> You're welcome to stay if that's what you want.
<Trolius> *if* it is even necessary
<Trolius> I'm going to go find firmin.
<Rachel_> But please, go find Firmin... we need to know.
* Rachel_ nods.
* Rachel_ will head back to the house and get a suitable container for picking up the pieces... ;_;
