[MsBloom]

If only. Should be interesting to see how he wiggles his way out of this one or if perhaps he might need some help.

 

[Traveler]

Heh heh... let's see how, or if, she wakes. How much powder did she take? LOL

 

[MsBloom]

My intention was that she only took just enough to render herself unconscious but easily awakened again but now that you actually ask the idea came to me that perhaps she did take far too much by accident and rather than simply putting her to sleep she is dying and when her plan springs Leo might find himself facing murder charges instead of simply being accused of unseemly conduct towards a daughter of The Reich.

 

[captain_bond]

Well, as the internet likes to say from time to time, that escalated quickly.

((Also, hi everyone! LOL))

Oh shit! LOL! However you want to play it out, is fine with me. Leo is, after all, a product of the times. He could certainly panic if she dies on him.

It sure did! Never a dull moment on the Orient.

 

[MsBloom]

It has been a while since last I heard of saw anything from this group. Are we still moving forward or are we simply waiting to be declared dead?

 

[Traveler]

I think we're waiting for Shiva? At this point with our two characters, we kind of need the GM's input since the train's maid went shouting for the police.

That's what I think is happening at least.

That is what I am waiting for as well, for the SS to come breaking down doors, or something

 

[captain_bond]

Geez, you still haven't made it out of Germany yet?

Me too, ha ha!

Not yet! The RP is kind of waiting on people with some RL stuff. Hope you are doing well!

 

[captain_bond]

I'm all right, all things considered. Thanks for the well-wishes.

 

[MsBloom]

Geez, you still haven't made it out of Germany yet?

Not even close to the Austrian border.

 

[xavierrol]

I was basically waiting for Shiva. I'll drop her a line.

I also see one of our other members is banned, not sure if it is a temporary thing or what.

I noticed that in the other group the three of us are involved in. I do hope it is merely temporary.

 

[xavierrol]

I just looked at the list, says it is temporary.

 

[MsBloom]

Well that's good.

 

[xavierrol]

@Shiva the Cat @MsBloom @Traveler @Vinaein

I'm getting caught up with our story and am looking to see who is still in.

 

[Vinaein]

Definitely.

 

[Traveler]

Still up for it.

 

[MsBloom]

Still in.

 

[xavierrol]

Are Jane and Leo done with any action they want to take before the Nazis react? Seems they could have a moment to obscure the situation a bit. @MsBloom @Traveler

Has anyone heard anything from Shiva? @Vinaein

 

[Traveler]

Welp, quite honestly if Leo didn't think that the Nazis would be down his throat any minute he'd shove the body out the window and tell Jane to lay down, banking on the chance that they might convince the investigators that the servant girls was mistaken.

Aside from that and with how quickly the servant started screaming for help, I think Leo's bracing for the worst case scenario.

I heard from Shiva recently, but no discussion on when she might return.

 

[MsBloom]

Are Jane and Leo done with any action they want to take before the Nazis react?

As far as I am concerned they are so if Leo is ready for the Nazi's then as is Jane. Although they might make an attempt to wake up poor Hedwig but that can be narrated in the response to the Nazi's arriving to investigate.

 

[xavierrol]

I won't get something finished this morning but I have started a reply.

One question, are Jane and Leo leaving the door open as Jeudith departs? Her scream will draw a lot of attention but as she leaves to find Reinhard, will that attention focus on an open door with an unconscious girl, or just the general area requiring either a search of Jeudith's return to point out the specific location of Hedwig? @MsBloom @Traveler

 

[Traveler]

It took me a minute to read through the last few posts. It looks like the door could still be open, I could have Leo respond to Jane about the heavily sedated girl, maybe try to wake her in the interim.

I'll toss up a quick post before work to start the ball rolling.
