The Haunting - 001

[Yakumo]

It is a warm summer day in Boston the kind of day one would appreciate, but you are here on business not pleasure.

The three of you, seperately, make your way towards the Thompson Investigation building, which turns out to be a two-story home. You suspect the man must live in the building as well as use it for his business.

As each of you reach the front door you are ushered into what appears to be Gregory's Office, it is lined with law books and classical literature, photographs of what appears to be family and friends, and several file cabinets that he must use for his investigations.

After the three of you are gathered, an average sized man wearing a white shirt and black tie enters, two of you recognize him immediately as Gregory Thompson.
He walks up to each of you and firmly shakes your hands and begins speaking.

"I wish to thank you for coming to help me, especially on such short notice. I really appreciate it. I am, as you may know, Gregory Thompson, You can call me Greg though." he looks briefly at Peter as it is his first time meeting him.

"Let me get down to business. I have called you here because I believe I can trust your insticts and wits to help me solve this case which has me so dumbfounded." Greg continues, "Here is what I know so far; The landlord to a old home built roughly a half century ago, wishes to clear his conscience about selling it, because lately all of its residents have had trouble living there. Strange things happen to them and while it may just be vandels, the landord wants to be sure that nothing will harm future residents of it before he sells. He is willing to compensate the lot of us for our efforts, One hundred dollars advanced and five hundred dollars a piece once we give him the 'Okay' on the house." Greg says

Greg hands each of you one hundred dollars.

"Do any of you have suggestions as to where to start?"

Make your introductions, State anything you wish to do and finally if you have an idea of where to go from here make it known. Mark any of the investigators thoughts with Italics and out of character things with OOC: at the beginning or end of your post.

Peter walks slowly into the room. There is a grimace on his face no doubt due to the fact that the bus he took into Boston ran late and he has not eaten in a number of hours. He introduces himself to the 3 men and begins to listen to what Thomspon has to say.

Hrmm, this Thompson guy looks all right I suppose, Jacob looks like he can handle himself too. Christ, does that guy walk around with a swastika, he is gonna get the shit kicked out of him.


"Well, I don't believe in any superstitious bullshit so I suggest we just head down and talk to the landlord and try to see what he is complaining about."

Living near, Heinrich came by walking and entered the room quickly, with his proud army-ish attitude. He removed his sunglasses before he nods back to Gregory.

Before Greg began his speech, he took a look at the two other guys.
Now, that, is insulting.
These two look to be in the sub-class of what this vast, yet weak country has to offer.
Sad thing.
Let's hope they are here to do the hard duty. At least Gregory knows what he's doing.

After Greg has finished talking,
It's better than nothing, especially for searching in a house for something that can't exist.

He picks a piece of gum from his pocket and begins chewing it.

Skipping the introductions, he looks at the two other men, waiting to see with what they can come up while he remains silent.

Jacob tries to appear as nonchalant and as harmless as he can with the small crowd. He remembers why he hates small groups: too hard to blend in and too hard to avoid conversation. As peter frowns at this good luck charm he casually plays with it and puts it back under his shirt, some people are simply too incompetent to understand things like that. He then glaces at Heinrich and immediately the words "potential target" come to mind. He will have to keep on eye on him for now, maybe find out where he lives....


Well I don't really need the cash right now, but this could be a little fun and Heinrich may prove "useful" to me at a later time. I guess I am in

"So what sort of disturbences are there then? This sounds appealing"

[Althael]

Ah, that wasn't hard to guess. The common ignorance of the common guys.

Looks like I'll have to talk..

''First thing would be check everything around the house. The vicinity, the neighbors, the old stories about the place, if any, etc. Peoples may troubles themselves if they believe in what they think too much. The only idea of something supernatural inspire fear in a great majority of peoples.''

Looking at Jacob.
''But, you already know that kind of thing, right?''


''When everything is secured outside, we can start looking in the inside of the house.''

"Well, Adolf jr. makes a good point let's head over to the place and get this shit settled."

[Yakumo]

Greg looks over the men, "Right then, well the neighbors complaints consist of loud banging coming from the upstairs of the house and they say they can sometimes hear a hum, almost like someone is talking, at night."

Looking satisfied that the group has made a decision he says, "Alright, we'll check out the area first perhaps the neighbors and landlord will have something useful to contribute. Besides, first hand experience is always the best way to get an idea for something."
