USH'S GAME EPISODE III- 'ARTIFACT'. Dark Side area

"Well, alright then. Go for it!" says Galder. He keeps his blaster loose in it's holster and deactivates the safety mechanism.

(I didn't suggest something like that because I suck at mind tricks)

(Everyone point and laugh at Galder!)

It seems the Prefect is on his way and will be here soon.

Takuan makes his way near the scene. He soon stops near the restricted area, police investigation signs and tries to get over them but he's stopped by an officer who comes in a hurry telling him to keep his distance. Takuan pay little attention to what he has to say, he raises his right hand and flashes it in front of his eyes. The cop suddenly stops talking. "what's going on here?" Takuan asks...

Galder watches from a distance.

"What's going on here? There's been a murder," says the cop, rather surprised at himself.

"Weapons? Moi?" Quam responded with a squeaky voice and then smiled and spoke while touching Persis shoulder "My dear boy, why on earth would I wear any weapons? With charming company like yourself and Ascar, who needs such aggressive means of ...errmm.... negotiation?" Quam opened his robe to reveal some tight fitting, shiny silken clothes... all lilac and pink. "But please, endulge me and frisk me if your want."

"someone important? tell me more" says Takuan

"Your sabre," says Persis, maintaining the same steely glare. "And the gun. On the desk." Majora yawns.

"Maybe he didn't bring the gun," she says.

"He always has the gun."

"Maybe *I* should frisk him for it."

"Be quiet." He turns back to you. "Mr. Ascar has been very clear to me on this point."

(Umm... DO you have the gun?)

-

"What? No, we don't have an identity yet," says the policeman. "You should move along."

(Ush..he's a little not cooperative. He is under a mind trick...)

(Yes, and you aren't leading him on very well. It's not hypnosis, it is suggestion. For example, at this point, you can say "I don't need to move along"😉

(aaah..k...got it)
"I don't need to move along. You will tell me more about the incident" Takuan says

"Yeah, you don't need to move along," says the policeman. "A Gran has been murdered in that alleyway. He trained at that martial arts building next to us. We don't know any more yet."

"i see....you now want to go back to your business and forget me" After that Takuan goes to meet gald.

(You'll be surprised if he forgets you)

Well, the Prefect will be here any moment.

(suddenly gets surprised😄)
"We should stay close to all this prefect thing. We can find out something from here" Takuan comlinks to galder.

"Not likely. I still don't even know why we're here," says Galder. He looks to the cops. The one Takuan was questioning looks dazed and confused.

"That gran didn't just drop dead there" says Takuan "he's connected to the training building. We should've gotten to him first"

It certainly seems an odd place for a pickpocket or mugger to ply his trade- the martial arts students, they are SURE to be easy catches...

Then a personal grudge or spontaneous fight, perhaps? Still seems odd. You both have 'feelings' about the situation that make you restless.

"perhaps he was more than a plain good martial arts student. He did leave in a hurry. Perhaps he knew something..."
