Larry looked at Halesey and shrugged.  Well, compensation was good, right?

"I think that can work for me.  You?"

He had already forgotten Halesey's code name.

[darkpaladin109]

"Well, the only logical action at this point would be to loudly accuse him of witchcraft and Satan worship. Don't you agree Myles?"

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave. We need to take a more stealthier approach if we are to be efficent. Starting with trying to find any dirty secrets he has."
((Sorry, but with your character's name and my initial response that quote was absolutely perfect .))

[lawastooshort]

"Er, yeah, I suppose that would be okay. Say, Mother Prioress, do you know anything about these strange occurrences then? If we found any more incidences of these strange artifacts would you be interested? Because, you know, they are kind of worrying, if you aren't looking to sell adult literature."

[Pancaek]

"Right, I've got make golem psychedelic...I don't suppose this woman uses golems, by any chance?"

"We have all the secrets we need! He is a practitioner of witchcraft and most likely a worshiper of Satin Dark Lord of Fabrics. What else could there be?"

[Harry Baldman]

Larry finds the idea of money agreeable.

"I think that can work for me. You?" he asks Halesey, having already blanked on what his good buddy's fake name might have been once upon a time.

"Er, yeah, I suppose that would be okay. Say, Mother Prioress, do you know anything about these strange occurrences then? If we found any more incidences of these strange artifacts would you be interested? Because, you know, they are kind of worrying, if you aren't looking to sell adult literature."

"I know that whatever seems to be happening, it is definitely a truly supernatural event. Most certainly not a hoax of any kind, and thus it would be best to beware of anybody truly strange wandering the streets. Not to mention all the dinosaurs, of course, though they seem to have mostly gone off to other places or died."

"They were certainly very frightening while they lasted, though."

"Indeed. There has been talk that all this is the work of wizards empowered by strange entities - it is rather unsettling to consider that even a single person is in the position to hold a power like that without any regard for things like decency and morality, to say nothing of a whole mess of them, or about the inherently troubling concept of an entity granting anyone power, as that implies that it wants something back from the bargain. I have the feeling things are only going to get worse from here, actually. You two should certainly be careful out there," the Prioress says, then reaches into her pockets for a wallet. "So, let's see... I suppose 200 dollars would be a fair finder's fee, don't you think?" she says, handing two bills to the undercover porn salesmen.

John explains about his new spell to the youths, as it seems only fair when you consider that they volunteered information to him so freely.

"Right, I've got make golem psychedelic... I don't suppose this woman uses golems, by any chance?"

"She does, actually. Or at least she can."

"They're made of cocaine of all things, in fact."

"So, psychedelic cocaine golems it is, huh?"

With that bit of information discovered, John follows the youths to where they believe the leyline to be - it looks like a school, actually. In the dark, one can see the words "Timothy Mills Memorial High School" embossed in fake gold on a white stone outside the building, which doesn't look too massive as far as schools go - has three wings with three stories each, and a very humble-looking, utilitarian main entrance. As the three move closer, Luz motions everyone to stop.

"Right, so, we need to get in - that'll be easy."

"Already thought of that. But Joanie's got the night watchman, Nigel, magicked up to keep an eye on the place while she's gone."

"We initially thought we'd just hit the guy fast and hard, but I don't think we have the numbers for it anymore. Maybe we could try some other plan. Any ideas, boys?" she asks both

[Pancaek]

"Well, neither Joanie nor this Nigel guy would know me, right? Maybe I could somehow distract him? Though I'm not sure how I'd do that, it's just an idea. How has she 'magicked him up' anyway?"

[Harry Baldman]

"Well, neither Joanie nor this Nigel guy would know me, right? Maybe I could somehow distract him? Though I'm not sure how I'd do that, it's just an idea. How has she 'magicked him up' anyway?"

"Gave him a spellbook and let him have a sip of that nice leyline, you know. And that idea could work, though I have no idea how you'd be able to not make him real suspicious, being a grown-ass man loitering around a school at night."

[Pancaek]

"Okay, I'm going to need a notepad and a pen. I think I've got an idea, but I would like you guys to stay out of sight and rush to my aid should things go awry. It's time to use the kryptonite of the grown-up world. Bureaucracy!"

Acquire Pen and notepad, then make sure I've got backup from the kids.

[lawastooshort]

"Why, yes ma'am, and I will try to bear the necessity for morality in mind in my future dealings with any strange occurrences. I can just imagine what the sight of depraved dinosaurs roaming the streets of her home town would have done for my mother's heart, bless her. Derek, let us carefully save these eurodollars for a secure future."

A secure future Chez Ronardos this evening...

Is it time to go meet er Penny?

"Excuse, me, mother, but, I always wanted to know. Can you really exorcise people? Do nuns really have praeternatural powers?"

[Toaster]

Larry nods in agreement while Halesey asks his question.  He doesn't want to get exorcised tonight.

[Harry Baldman]

John begins to formulate a plan.

"Okay, I'm going to need a notepad and a pen. I think I've got an idea, but I would like you guys to stay out of sight and rush to my aid should things go awry. It's time to use the kryptonite of the grown-up world. Bureaucracy!"

"Don't have a pen or a notepad."

"Neither do I."

Luckily, John has a notepad! He never leaves home without it. As well as at least three working pens - he knew all that preparation would pay off some day! He displays his supplies proudly, but his new friends don't seem impressed, and simply head off into the dark after assuring John that yes, they will come out and help him if necessary.

Halesey agrees with the idea of the fee and accepts the Prioress' money.

"Why, yes ma'am, and I will try to bear the necessity for morality in mind in my future dealings with any strange occurrences. I can just imagine what the sight of depraved dinosaurs roaming the streets of her home town would have done for my mother's heart, bless her. Derek, let us carefully save these eurodollars for a secure future," he says, securing these eurodollars for a safe future. It then occurs to him that two hundred dollars, while not bad in money terms, might not be quite enough to have some actual fun with at Chez Ronardo's - luckily, it's noon plus or minus one hour right now, which means he has about eight hours to get as much money as he needs. It also occurs to him that there is an important question he needs to ask the Prioress.

"Excuse, me, mother, but, I always wanted to know. Can you really exorcise people? Do nuns really have praeternatural powers?" he asks, with Larry providing an affirmative nod to stress the essential nature of the query. The Prioress merely raises an eyebrow, then shrugs.

"Of course they do. Why else would somebody willingly segregate themselves from society and live a life of isolation and discipline? It's all those mystical powers, obviously," she says with more than a twinge of sarcasm. One of the nuns snickers at the remark, and the Prioress shakes her head.

"No, sir, we don't have preternatural powers. No nun actually does. Some may pretend they do, and some may get preternatural powers retroactively assigned to them by popular history, but no. Having anything of the sort would go against the spirit of the whole endeavor. A monastery is supposed to be a place without troubling events, a place of perspective and introspection. You know, nun things. Not god-magic or whatever."

[Pancaek]

John walks up to the school, making sure his stride seems confident and purposeful. Once he gets to the guard, he says the following.

"Good evening, Sir. I'm with the Office of the Inspector General of the Health and safety departement. I'm here for the scheduled inspection of your kitchen, water and heating. Shall we begin?"

"Well, the only logical action at this point would be to loudly accuse him of witchcraft and Satan worship. Don't you agree Myles?"

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave. We need to take a more stealthier approach if we are to be efficent. Starting with trying to find any dirty secrets he has."
((Sorry, but with your character's name and my initial response that quote was absolutely perfect .))

"We have all the secrets we need! He is a practitioner of witchcraft and most likely a worshiper of Satin Dark Lord of Fabrics. What else could there be?"

"If we have evidence of that, we should plant it somewhere where someone else, such as am interviewer could easily find it and mistake it for his."

"No! We must strike while the iron is hot! THAT MAN IS A CASTER OF WITCHCRAFT, SOWER OF CHAOS, AND A SATINIST!"
