Thread: Strange Town, Strange Folks (Chichi Cheetah & Sheena-Tiger)

Emilia had taken the card of the good man before leaving, hardly needing the added warning by now as she was already suspecting something. The fact Ari was using an umbrella was making her eyebrows raise far more than the tinted windows, something you grew accustomed to some extend in a larger city. She did not see them all the time but often enough for them to be nothing foreign for her. Lucky, or unlucky, me does not know Ty's book. All I got was this vibe of you people hiding something... for good reason I guess. That you now tell me I am likely in danger as well, is not adding to anything which would lower my worries though. the brunette said after sitting down inside the car, seemingly not worried to much about her safety. So, let's get over to your office and have some 'fun' with the information. she tried to joke but the topic at hand was hardly a real joking matter and definitely no fun. Well, to be honest, the actual work was quite fun in some way for her but the reasons seldom were fun. Puzzling a mystery together was fun, a gruesome murder the reason for it not so much. Arriving at the tea shop, Emilia followed Ari inside, wondering about the stop but it quickly cleared up for her. The 2 did not look all that much alike but the names thrown around, the tone in their voice and the securely locked cabinet Ari pulled the folder from painted a picture of Ari using this place as her office. She smiled and approached the owner of this place and shook her hand or at least offered hers for it. Yeah, I was warned and already came up with a plan. How about we call one of us Emi and the other Lia? If you ask me, you look more like an Emi so I try to go with Lia, if that is okay with everyone involved. About a drink... a strong coffee as starter and some surprise to mix it up afterwards? the young woman asked before turning on her heel. Oh sorry... I am here for work. I would hope to have a nice chat later... like with all the people I met so far in this town. It's only a handfull but all of you have something interesting I'd love to learn more about, and not for work-reasons! she smiled and settled down across from Ari, taking the Dossier and beginning to look through what little was not redacted. There was a frown on the face which only grew the further she dug into the reports, especially the last one. Finally she placed them down on the table, nodding slowly and pointing at the last readable line. This here... this is nothing a normal person would write. I can only think of 3 reasons, right now out of the box... give me a day and I might be able to present even more. First... this place or the person writing these reports is making some far right on the political topic distinction between them and other human beings... like... early 20th century in Europe. Second... aliens, but I kinda doubt they having any interest in our world for different reasons and would have ways to deal with these issues. Third... and I might be reaching not as far out as I would normally think, we talk something super natural. I am talking creatures from stories... from folklore... things science tries to prove every now and then... investigative shows try to solve and find. May it be a possible dinosaur like hiding in Loch Ness... the Yeti... or things like creatures needing to hide from the sun or such people in folklore say only hunt under the full moon. Emilia takes a deep breath. And there are at least 2 indications I have for either someone attempting to recreate the possible existence in a really gruesome way or at least 2 such supernatural creatures are existing. the young PI pulls the report of Constantine Jackson from the files and points at it. At least in the redable part, no talk about the brute force of others... but no blood... only puncturing marks. Someone took at least most of her blood... and I assure you, this is hardly possible with medical equipment unless you cut someone open to get more liquid out of them... Kris could elaborate on that I am sure. But 1 or more vampires, hard to say as it talks about several marks which could either be 1 person biting more than once or several at the same time. Well, I would say, such a creature could do it. Then we have all the others. Emilia pointed at them in a random order. Blunt trauma all over... ripped apart... whatever. All of them speak of someone or something strong, some talk about bitemarks. Sadly it is not going into details what kind of bitemarks... could be human... could be animal. Nevertheless, we talk strong... incredible strong. And even more important... the brunette raises her finger, a thin smile on her lips We are not talking claws. The reason why I am here had marks of claws on him, talk about bites. Well... at least I think it was in a report I read, might be wrong and put in there to chalk it up more to an animal attack. Anyway, we will not get far with this... she lifts one of the reports and sniffs at some parts of it, raising an eyebrow. Interesting... as I suspected... it is almost impossible to make out but this is an original, am I correct? The redaction was made after printing these reports... so ... I have an offer. Going by the faint scent... I think it might be possible to get some of the redacted stuff back but it most likely will ruin some part of it as well. I would only need a couple of things I am sure a place like this has available but I have no guarantee it will actually work.
