......

You interested? ^^"

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@Guardian Angel Haruki You spot wolfsbane and charms hanging in the windows of the smaller shops on one side of the strip mall. The other side seems thoughruly mortal, signs for security companies are stickered to windows and cameras are affixed to walls. This is a place of transition. You would say that this is the edge of some werewolves territory.

@Penny

Interesting....
Thank you!

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@Guardian Angel Haruki Do you want to ask questions with your snoop roll or are you just holding for now?

@Penny

I do want to spend a hold to ask the first question and hold the other two for now.

Whose turf is this?

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

Kim

Kim kept following the crow until the caws became less articulated and the crow itself seemed more interested in something shiny on the ground than in her. After it flew away, she took in her surroundings.

If there was a clue about Zeke here, she had to find it.

At first it seemed like an ordinary abandoned strip mall, but then...she noticed a figure in the red baseball cap half carrying, half dragging a woman.

Well that doesn't look right! Kim thought to herself.

She moved quietly to the alleyway, hiding behind walls and keeping a distance to snoop on this figure and what they were doing with the woman...

Kim

The days have been getting longer indeed....

There was so much to do and not enough time in the world for them. At least that's what it seemed like to Kimi.

Somehow, it's not a surprise to her that the cases are becoming much more convoluted than before. It's like a reflection on her life now that she knew that the supernatural actually existed.

Money being passed through Maltese banks, bouncing through credit unions in St Kitts only to be spent on utterly innocous office supplies by a law firm in Corvus Bay. This is the kind of thing she's heard in cases of embezzlement and fraud. This sort of thing often led to more questions and warranted investigations. This law office was spending on that money on office supplies? She doubted that was truly the case. She focused her investigation on this case on the law firm and their public records/financial statements in question.

With her days at the office being this busy, and with everyone wanting everything yesterday, she doesn't really have the time to use her occupation to help her find Zeke. Plus, she didn't want to risk losing her career over using her position for selfish means. Her office does have internal controls to make sure that nothing unethical was done. She needed to focus on the investigations at hand. She could continue her own search during lunch breaks and after work in the evenings.

Speaking of the time of day, work had quickly ended before she even knew it. The first thing she noticed as she left the office were the crows, cawing and cackling above her.

From what she knew, crows were intelligent birds and capable of mimicry. The number of them wasn't surprising, Corvus Bay was named for the crows after all. She simply gives a nod to the birds of simple greeting as she makes her way to the car, not paying much attention to them. Before she enters the car though, one of them landed on the car.

She was surprised to see the crow drop a laurel twig and immediately cry out Zeke's name. Her eyes were wide as she watched the crow flies to the alleyway.

If she hadn't experienced the supernatural before, she would've shrugged this off.

But knowing what she knows now, she couldn't help but think that maybe the crows were helping her right now? It would be a waste to disregard this potential lead!

She quickly snatched the twig off of the top of her car and followed after the crow, after making sure the car was still locked.

As she hurried after the crow, she quickly got out her smartphone so she could have the video recording on, and have a flashlight on hand if she needs it.

OOC

Following the crow!
I'll roll for Snoop once she gets to wherever the crow is leading her.

@Penny For my last debt, the leveraging dirt one, I'll have it be Mortimer Croft, since Vicky attacked Kim for snooping on the ghost and his cult.

Intro Questions

Who are You?
"Hi! My name is Kimi Hasegawa. But please, just call me Kim. It's nice to meet you. I am twenty seven years old, and I work as a Forensic Auditor.

...OK, I know that profession sounds boring, but it's thanks to the skills I learned from that job that I know how to do a proper investigation. Especially if finance is involved.

How long have you been in the city?

Believe it or not, I was born in this city. But my parents decided it was best we move away for some reason. I don't really know why though. I was only seven years old at the time we moved away. I remember being so upset when I was told the news.

As for how long I've been here now? Only a couple of weeks. Still kind of trying to settle in, but things have been quite busy. I moved back to this city not just for the job I got here, but because of the mystery that drew me here.

How did you learn about the supernatural?

Wow. Uh...I'm still kind of reeling from that...

Right. Zeke, my childhood friend, sent me a letter. It read he wanted to talk to me about something important and asked to meet with me at a specific location. Once I finished moving back to the city, I went to that meeting spot at the specified location and time.

...I was attacked. The attackers...definitely weren't human. I don't know if that meeting was a trap set to kill me or not, but either way, I was able to get away.

Since then, I've been careful to not go out at night alone, and always carry a taser around. But...while that attack was scary, I'm now even more curious. The fact I was attacked at that meeting spot can't be a coincidence...

What's going on here?

Why is this city worth saving?

This city is worth saving because there are good people who live here. That should be reason enough for anybody.

What mystery are you currently investigating?

You know that letter I mentioned earlier? I got it back before I moved back to Corvus Bay. Apparently there was something important he wanted to talk to me about. However, when I tried to meet up with him after I officially moved back to the city, I couldn't find him anywhere. It was like he vanished into thin air.

I'm really curious. What did he want to talk to me about? Why did he vanish? Where is he now?

Zeke is my childhood friend. I'm kinda worried about him.

Gear:
*A simple apartment
*A decent car
*A smart phone
*Self-Defense Weapon: Taser (stun-harm hand)

Debts
*Someone told you their secrets and you haven’t told anyone about them yet. They owe you 2 Debts.
-When I was younger, a childhood friend of mine, Zeke, told me his secret. One of his parents, his mother, is a very beautiful fae. So, he is one of the fae as well. I didn't really know what that meant at the time. But I promised I would keep his secret, and I haven't told a single soul to this day. Besides, who would believe me if I wanted to tell someone?

*Someone thinks they’re protecting you, but it’s really more like you’re protecting them. You owe each other a Debt.
-Kendra apparently had some sort of prophecy about me. It must have been scary, because she has been trying to protect me. I'm more than happy to protect them in turn.

*You’re leveraging dirt you have on someone to get their help with something. You owe them a Debt.
-Mortimer Croft had Vicky attack me. Considering what I found out and why he had her attack me, I can use that information to get his help if I need it.

Aware Moves
*Snoop: When you keep an eye out for trouble, roll with Mind. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. While you’re there, spend your hold to ask the MC questions, 1 for 1:
-What’s my best way in/out?
-Who or what here is not what they seem?
-What happened here recently?
-What here is the greatest danger to me?
-Whose turf is this?
On a miss, you find yourself in over your head. The MC will tell you why this is a bad spot.

*Did Your Homework: When you put a face to a name with someone politically important (your call), roll with Mind instead of Faction. On a hit, you know a dangerous secret about them or their political machinations. On a 10+, you know how to leverage that information; take a Debt on them as well. On a miss, your snooping has already landed you in hot water with your target; they know you’ve been looking into their business.

*I Brought Friends: When you cash in a Debt with an NPC, add this option to the list:
-Back you up in a dangerous situation
