quicktoanger | First Casefile: New Feather [Action/Written]

[Action]

Well, sure, I was just sitting on the roof. I mean, hey, it was a bit chilly, but I'm used to that. And I wasn't sure where I was, but hell, that's hardly any change.

The fact that I couldn't figure out how to get down was entirely irrelevant. I assure you. So there I sat, on the roof, scribbling in my journal.

The wings, it seems, didn't come off. Damn near fell off the roof figuring that out. They still throbbed.

The journal was an interesting thing, actually. It had my name on it. Apparently it updated to represent the journals other people used? I'd tried to look at it through the Sight. Luckily, the freezing cold was doing wonders staving off that headache.

I looked over the side again. Considered trying to climb. But, well, it was a rather tall building, and there weren't many handholds within reach. No. No, better to find some other method. So I'll just keep writing in that journal.

[Written]

Hey. Don't know if there's some sort of etiquette to this... journal thing, or whatever it's called, but I have a question.

Where the hell am I, why do I have wings, and how did I get on top of this building without any clothing?

I don't think I was that drunk last night...

It should--I tested it on an eight story building! You can just make sure it's properly tied and rapel down.

[Lupin's confident in his equipment this time--there's no reason it should fail. Besides, killing a New Feather was the last thing on his agenda.]

I made sure the grapple was secure, gave it a few sharp tugs- it held- and then began lowering myself cautiously down the line. No way in hell was I going to try rappelling.

[Lupin awaits, blanked ready for when Dresden is standing on solid ground. If he's surprised at his height, he doesn't show it. Though, admittedly, Dresden is taller than the talles guy in Luceti that he calls friend, Captain Smoker.]

When I reached the bottom, I glanced up behind me and frowned.

"How do you plan on getting that down?"

I plan to come back in the dead of night, shimmy on up there, and steal a hang glider from my girlfriend to get down.

[He's smiling, all confidence.]

I think I liked this guy.

"Well, Lupin- Is that what I call you? Lupin? -it seems I owe you one."

Nah--you owe me nothing! I was just doing my good deed for the day.

Anyway, have any questions? Frustrations?

...want to find your clothing?

"Clothing would be good. Didn't want to bother you again, considering..."

I waved my good hand at the roof.

"Apparently my stuff is in the Shops, wherever those are?"

...I was doing my good deed of the day. [And helping Pops--wait.] But yeah, your stuff will be in the shops for sure. Since we're in the town square here, they'll actually be in this general vicinity.

You sure you got it?

"Town square- down by the fountains? Yeah, I think I can take it from here. Thanks."
