The Corruption of G’Hyr (open, but dont join here)

[TheThing]

London this season seems to be a dreary place, suffering under the heat of an unnaturally hot summer. The place seems listless, the town is boring with not even the prospect of a scandal in the newspapers to look forward to. You seem to be spending most of your free time at the club, discussing the non-events of the day with fellows who seem to be like yourself bored with the whole thing. That is until one day the mailman brings you a paper containing a rather interesting item.


Strange Disappearance of Banker

It was announced today by the Metropolitan Constabulary that Mr John Wilson, Aged 43, has gone missing from his home in St-Johns Wood. Mr Wilson was last seen entering his study on Wednesday 20th April. Since then, no one has seen either him or his dog. It was initially speculated that Mr Wilson may have gone for a walk with his dog, but as he has been absent for more than four days the police are starting to treat his disappearance as suspicious.

Mrs Olive Wilson has told this reporter that he didn’t have an enemy in the world, but as a senior member of the St-Stephens Bank, the police have not dismissed the possibility of kidnap, yet no ransom note has been received.

the name John Wilson struck as familiar, the beard, serious-looking and stocky college roommate was a friend of yours for a numbered years back then.

NOTE: the 1D100 roll is done before the game takes place. so that when your character is required to make a 1D100 roll, I will just come to your 1D100 roll list, and cross off the top one, and use that number. This way speeds up game speed, and it is fair.

Keeper (thats me):

Rikard, and KTOng. for simplicity, Rikard is a Landon policeman, charged with investigating the strange disappearance of Mr. John Wilson. You two figure out if you know each other or not.

The following part is for Rikard's character Damien:

Story

Cross the table scattered the files of known and unknown records, just like the busy and noisey crowds outside, neither are in your interest. You've been charged to resolve the strange disappearance of a senior Landon citizen, and since it is your first investigation after inheriting the little office from your senior officer, you are anxious to eliminate one potential criminal from Landon streets.

see the two articles above (in #1 post)

[Rikard_OHF]

About my writing everything I write in Light Blue (ACDCFC) is descriptive and thought
Everything that is writen in Green is said
No colour means OOC stuff
-------------------------------------------

And so I sat in my new found office and already i have gotten my first case.
It seemed rather hopeless to me, it was a case of which I wasn't certain that it was a case and if it was, one without any real clues...

But since I have to find my clues someplace I desided to go to sir Wilsons house
I stepped into my newly bought car (I love my position [img]smile.gif[/img] )and drove to sir Wilsons house and knocked on the door...

Story
A servant opened the door for Officer Damien, and let him in. He waited in the guest room patiently for Mrs. Wilson.

Mrs. Angela Wilson is in her late thirties, a tall attractive woman who seems to be not too upset by her husband’s disappearance. She is wearing a light floral print dress, indicates a rather casual mood. The servants all seem scandalised by this behaviour.

She greeted the officer briefly and said:"

Thank you for coming so promptly. My problem is that I believe that my husband was murdered because he knew something he shouldn’t. I met my husband two years ago, and we’ve been happily married now for eighteen months. Yet, I always had the feeling that he had seen something or done something that he shouldn’t have done. I never asked him what his dark secret was. John never volunteered the information but last year he came down with Influenza, and in the midst of his fever, he kept repeating the phrase "beware the Yellow King." This I found strange to say the least, but I soon let it pass. That was until four days ago, the day John ‘disappeared'. On that day, we had a parcel delivered. John opened the parcel and removed from it a small wooden box. He took one look at it, and I’ll never forget the look on his face. He went grey, truly ashen, and I heard him mutter, the Yellow King. Then he bundled me out of the house, with no explanation what so ever.

I left because John seemed so insistent, but when I returned John and dog had vanished, and Masie the upstairs maid was screaming incoherently about a purple haze, and puddles. The poor child was so disturbed that we’ve had no choice but to have her committed.

Thats all I know, and you are welcome to ask any questions. Please help me find out what happened to my husband."

I want to speak to the child if that is possible
I can understand that it's hard for her aswell as for you
But it is vital for the investigation

Mrs. Wilson says that the girl was the only one in the house apart from John and the dog as the other servants were out helping a neighbour with the spring cleaning. The servants arrived back shortly after Mrs Wilson, and helped her to get the terrified girl into the bed. When the poor maiden was questioned, all she could do was pointing towards the study and gurgle about a purple haze and mist. Mrs Wilson’s Doctor, Dr Willams, was called and he diagnosed that the girl was suffering from a kind of dementia and had her removed to the Ashville Mental Institute in Woodgreen, London.

"so", Mrs. Wilson continued with a sense of remorse "the poor thing is committed to the asylum, she was such an angel"

[Rikard_OHF]

Still I want to speak to her, Miss
She might have some vital information that my collegues missed
