"It seems so," Kate said, giving a slight nod. "Do you have any idea what the four of us are meant to do? I know next to nothing about the Clay Man."
She'd spent the past few days searching for information on him, but came up empty-handed. She hadn't found anything worthwhile, not even a suspected name or address, or even what planet he hailed from. No, she was to go into this blind, and she didn't like it one bit.

"I suppose we can only wait for this Moriarty gentleman to appear, yes?" Jonathan offered. "Perhaps then he will give us a better explanation of our task."
Mina murmured in agreement. "We don't know much about him either, I'm afraid. Just that he has a lot of powerful connections."

(Didn't Orion like just post? Yes, he did, and he'll do it again.)

Eden arrived unfashionably late and with a large spot of blood on their coat, disheveled hair that looked more like a rat's nest than anything else (and probably, at this point, had rats living in it), and an angry look on their face. "Victor. And two… others." they said, seeming a little confused and disgusted at the same time. Victor gave Eden a concerned look at the blood, wheeling over to them. "Eden, are you alright?"

"Workplace accident." they said, shrugging uncaringly.

Victor bit his lip in worry, and tried to ignore the remark. What sort of workplace accident would cause Eden's coat to be so ruined?

Eden looked at the two before them, pointing to Alek first and then the younger of the Victors. "Blondie, Freak. There, you have names now." they shrugged, sitting down on a chair in the vast lobby. "So, when do you think anything will… happen?" they asked, leaning back and looking up to the ceiling.
