[ACRO] GLoG 49: Who Ya Gonna Call?

[The Librarian]

Lowan frowns leaving the mental space as Happy spiritual entity disappears he can still sense her, but only barely.
...Dammit, It looks like she unable to maintain a spiritual body for long periods of time.

Lowan teleports to the infirmary only to see that Happy's body is no where to be found. However, he can tell that her body was their at some point.
Either, someone moved her body or, it under some strong magical barrier, I can't see.

[horngeek]

Daisuke looks at the area. So, it seems you don't need a body...

he puts on a pair of sunglasses

to have a murder.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Actually, Daisuke doesn't do that, because he's to worried about other things for that.

[Je dit Viola]

Ha ha ha.

Helen is still blissfully unaware that her best friend and mentor assassinated Happy, which is good, since I can't decide how she'd react. And, thankfully, her breath no longer smells like bacon.

She walks around the Main Lodge, looking for somebody. Is there anybody to find?

[happyturtle]

How can they be sure it's murder? It could have been vaporizing flu!

[Infirmary]

"Are you ill?" Nurse Piper asks Lowan in a stern voice.

[Lord Magtok]

Magtok steps into the Infirmary, and looks around with a frown.

Hello, GLoG. I'm unarmed, before you say or do something stupid. Anyways, does anyone know where Happy is? The tracker on her hover-chair just stopped transmitting all of a sudden, and she doesn't strike me as one for inter-dimensional vacations.

[horngeek]

Daisuke looks at him. Happy's dead. Her ghost is right there, although not materialised at the moment, but she doesn't remember how she died.

Magtok... is moving the chair to another dimension the only way to stop it transmitting?

[happyturtle]

[Main Lodge]

Happy's ghost appears again, but it's very very faint and hard to see.

[Lord Magtok]

Magtok shrugs.

No. It could also be in one of the hells, a heaven, one of the elemental planes, out of Acro and in space somewhere...generally everything that your sort would call beyond the "material plane". Or the chair could've been thrown through a time loop and aged four hundred years until the battery gave out, given sentience and told to rebel against me, or vaporized. And...

Magtok opens his mouth to say something, and then comes to a complete halt, staring at Daisuke as if there was ceiling cat tattooed onto his forehead. He tries to start to say something again, and only mumbles and fades back to silence again. A hand wriggles by his side for a second, and then suddenly he's lunging forward to take the reaper by the neck with one hand and threaten him with a screwdriver (He was actually honest about the unarmed thing, for once) in the other. Oh dear, someone's not taking this too well.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU IDIOTS DO?!

[horngeek]

Magtok may find that Daisuke is behind him now.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Happy thought it might have been a heart attack, but this confirms what I think. Someone murdered her.

[billtodamax]

Susan's in the kitchen, when she hears Magtok's outburst.

"Magtok's gonna kill someone." She says as she vaults over one of the tables and start running towards the sound of the voice.

[Piggyebil]

Koyuki ran to the source of Magtok's yell. She could tell something was wrong. What is all this fuss about?

[Lord Magtok]

Magtok turns around and glares at Daisuke as he puts the screwdriver away. A fist slowly clenches and unclenches repeatedly, making an odd sort of faint metal clanging sound each time. He doesn't seem to notice Koyuki or Susan. Not yet, anyways.

But since we don't have cameras around here like in the old base, there's no records to check. And since she doesn't know what happened, it was likely poisoning or some other form of stealth kill. Maybe one of the wretched specters floating around here wanted a buddy, maybe Cal's trying something new, maybe the ISF's trying to sweep GLoG under the rug and...

Magtok pauses for a moment, thinking.

I can't remember, who got the vice-prez position? And who are they friends with?

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary]

And hearing Magtok yell, and everyone running that way, Happy suddenly materializes in the infirmary. Apparently her presidential duty made her forget for a moment that she didn't actually know how to move as a ghost.

"What's going on here?"

[horngeek]

I'm Vice-President.

Daisuke looks at him. Alternatively, it was someone Happy trusted. Unfortunately, that doesn't take us down much.

Daisuke looks at Happy. Magtok took news of your death poorly.

Anyone who's good at reading body language will recognise that Daisuke's lack of expression is a mask, and that he's deliberately concealing his emotions now.

[Je dit Viola]

Helen is here? Yes, she is.

Question, though.

Is the new infirmary part of the Main Lodge? Or is its own separate building?

Because Helen's in the main lodge. If it's connected, she's in the infirmary too.

[happyturtle]

The infirmary is a separate building.

*reminds people to use location tags*

*totally didn't have to edit this post to follow own instructions >.> *

[Infirmary]

"Er... yeah. I didn't take it very well either," Happy says to Magtok.

[The Librarian]

How can they be sure it's murder? It could have been vaporizing flu!

[Infirmary]

"Are you ill?" Nurse Piper asks Lowan in a stern voice.

Lowan straightens himself.
No mam, I was looking for Miss Happy, as I heard recent news she was deceased.

Magtok turns around and glares at Daisuke as he puts the screwdriver away. A fist slowly clenches and unclenches repeatedly, making an odd sort of faint metal clanging sound each time. He doesn't seem to notice Koyuki or Susan. Not yet, anyways.

But since we don't have cameras around here like in the old base, there's no records to check. And since she doesn't know what happened, it was likely poisoning or some other form of stealth kill. Maybe one of the wretched specters floating around here wanted a buddy, maybe Cal's trying something new, maybe the ISF's trying to sweep GLoG under the rug and...

Magtok pauses for a moment, thinking.

I can't remember, who got the vice-prez position? And who are they friends with?

Lowan turns to Magtok hearing his last comment.
Now I am aware who this Cal person your referring to is, but who might this ISF be? Are they the ones responsible for the destruction of the old GLOG?

[Hyozo]

[infirmary]

Ectoplasm will begin to cover the floor at Magtok's feet. If he's not careful, he's likely to slip on it.

[Fan]

[Infirmary]

And hearing Magtok yell, and everyone running that way, Happy suddenly materializes in the infirmary. Apparently her presidential duty made her forget for a moment that she didn't actually know how to move as a ghost.

"What's going on here?"

This is when, the non currently frozen/waiting for interest Plot Clone of Fan walks in (As I intended that plot to take the span of a day... Damn Temporal fracks.), and he freezes upon seeing Happy.... Ghostly.... and then Daisuke blurts out that she's dead.

5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

Fans eyes begin to seethe his blood red reiatsu, the coils of it spiraling out of tear ducts, and pores like a unholy red mist.

Let it be known, that Fan did not get his casting ability back, but merely gained control of the composites within him.

"I'll keep myself from blaming people until I get answers. First. Where's her body?"

[horngeek]

Daisuke looks at the vampire with... Shinigami abilities? Reiatsu, at the very least. No idea.

Probably where the chair's gone. Magtok, what did the chair transmit?

[billtodamax]

Susan finally arrives at the infirmary and looks around for Magtok.

"What's happening?" She asks, having not noticed Happy's ghost yet.

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary]

"She was fine when she checked herself out this morning," Nurse Piper says. "Excuse me." She stalks into the room where all of the commotion is going on. "This is a place of healing! Take your childish disputes ELSEWHERE!"

She doesn't raise her voice, but it resonates with authority nonetheless. People may find themselves feeling small and ashamed of themselves and anxious to appease Nurse Piper by scurrying out at once.

[Fan]

Daisuke looks at the vampire with... Shinigami abilities? Reiatsu, at the very least. No idea.

Probably where the chair's gone. Magtok, what did the chair transmit?

"Obvious sign of foul play then. Sorry Magtok, but you would've been my first suspect if you weren't here, and as pissed as I am."

He quickly hides his eyes, and stems the flow of reaitsu from his pores (painful as hell by the way.), pulling down the brim of his hat.

"I think I know a Cleric who can cast a Divination. He runs a stand on Inside. It'll have to wait a bit though, I don't think he has anymore prepared today."

[The Librarian]

Lowan adds to the conversation.
My father at HALO is in close contact with healer deity. I'm sure that if we got him to summon her, then she could not only resurrect Happy, but explain how she died.

[Lord Magtok]

Infirmary

With Happy present (more or less), Magtok decides to put his contempt for Daisuke away for now, and focus on Matters of Importance. The sort of things that ignore angry nurses, and instantly shift Magtok into that driven, somewhat robotic state where he does most of his thinking and actions nowadays.

The chair was here in the infirmary, and then it wasn't around here anymore. It completely ceased to exist, as far as the Cave could tell.

[horngeek]

We'll have to take someone up on the Divination thing, if we want to know more.

Unless...

Daisuke turns to Happy. What's the last thing you remember?

[Fan]

"Does it register other beings near by? If so, maybe we could deduce if it was a distance kill, or the less savory method of hacking.. Happy into tiny bits.

Fan seems almost on the verge of tears talking so soulessly about his wife's murder like this... But his has to perservere.

[happyturtle]

[Infirmary]

Happy, at least, is affected by Nurse Piper's scolding, even if the rest of the group isn't.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else to talk?" she says meekly.

[MageSparrowhawk]

A red-headed teenager wanders into the campsite. "Hmmm...enough strange presences...and..." He frowns. "Reitsu? Weird. Wasn't expecting that."

He'll slowly wander toward the infirmary, as it seems to have the biggest collection of people.

[billtodamax]

[Infirmary]

"Apologies nurse." Says Susan, before hearing Lowan. "Wait, resurrect Happy, what's going on?" She says, before spotting Happy. "Happy! What happened?"
