PERCY: “I was- uh-“ [sighs] “I was looking into the streak of missing person cases that have surfaced lately. I followed you because I, um, sensed something… unusual about you all and I thought it might be connected to the case. I can just leave you alone if you want.”
(know it's been a while but.. bump?)
(I'm gonna have to skim through what we have, then we'll continue.)
(ok)
LEVI: [Removes his hand from the grip of his gun and puts his hands by his sides.] I don't detect falsehood in her words. Nervousness on the other hand….
DEAN: [Hesitant to drop his guard, but reluctantly does a little bit.] "So, you're looking into this too? How can we be sure that you aren't behind the missing people?" [Chances a glance towards Harriet.] "Not gonna rely on your ring to tell me what's what."
HARRIET: [rolls her eyes] “Not how it works, Dean. It’s not a lie detector.” [sighs as she turns to Percy] “If you don't hurt us, we won't hurt you. As it turns out, we're looking into the missing persons streak going on too but we're not the cause of it.”
( @LiteralCyborg Still with us?)
( @LiteralCyborg ???)
(Oh jeez I’m so sorry. My computer was not working for the longest time. I’m still here if you guys want to continue!!)
PERCY: “I promise I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m only looking into this because a friend of mine is being affected by it, and I want to help.” [holds hands up in placating gesture] “I won’t hurt anyone, I swear it.”
(No worries. We all have lives to live and technical issues do happen!)
DEAN: [Slowly lowers his guard after noticing that Sam follows Levi's lead.]
SAM: "Your friend wouldn't happen to be one of the missing, would they?
LEVI: [Sighs and looks around. Pulls his phone from his pocket after it starts to ring, answers it, and walks a little ways off from the group.]
HARRIET: [nodded slightly, accepting Percy’s answer… for now.] “… If you want to help us, you can defend yourself if you need to. But try to keep up, ok?”
PERCY: [turns to Sam] "No, but her brother is. He's been missing for weeks." [to everyone] "I promise I'll follow your lead."
DEAN: "Alrighty then. Back to what we were doing."
SAM: [Looks over to where Levi is now standing.] That can't be good. [Saw Levi's shoulders drop.]
LEVI: [Pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs.] "Any idea on how long she's going to be there for?" [Listens to the other end of the line for a moment.] "Thank you, James. Please keep me updated." [Walks back over after taking a few slow, shuddery breaths in and out. Seems alright outwardly, yet due to the slightly glazed look to his eyes it is clear that something is wrong.]
HARRIET: “Right. This way.” [turning to resume walking in the direction of Nadia’s apartment before noticing Levi’s demeanor] “You doing alright, big guy?”
Percy: [follows the group from behind, sighs in relief] Thank the gods, I thought I was done for. [looks at Levi] What's up with this guy?
LEVI: [Mouths the words 'not now' to Harriet, turns around a tree, and walks directly into a statue.] "Ow." [Squeezing his chest where the statue jabbed him.]
DEAN AND SAM: "What the hell?" [In unison upon seeing the statue.]
((Just a reminder that they're NOT going to know exactly what's responsible right away from here.))
HARRIET: [gives a concerned frown but nods minutely at Levi before noticing the statue] “Where did that come from?” It’s almost eerie how realistic that thing looks…
PERCY: [stares at statue with an unnerved expression] "That thing looks.. off." [takes a nervous step away from statue] "Have you guys seen these before?"
SAM: [Keeps glancing at the statue, clearly uncomfortable by it.] "No, we haven't."
DEAN: "And we've seen a lot of crap!"
LEVI: [Examining the statue. Looks down and picks something up.] "Hmmm. Well, our culprit isn't Margot."
HARRIET: [shakes her head] “I’m not from here so no. But I agree. Something is definitely not… natural about it.” [turns her head slightly but still keeps an eye on the statue] “Who’s Margot?”
(I work from 6pm-9 eastern time on weekdays. Will likely be getting another job for earlier during the day as the store had me do a drug test and are waiting for my background check to come back; I know that I'm clean on both.)
(Bump)
(Bump bump)
(I’m still here!)
( @LiteralCyborg I'm going to give you 7 days to respond. If you don't I've decided that I'm gonna ask you to no longer take part in the rp. We like to go somewhat quick, and the delays are driving us nuts. We both understand that life can [and does] intervene, and that tech issues happen as well. Thank you for being interested though!)
Me
LEVI: "I swear, sometimes it's like you're the child, Dean, and I'm stuck on parent-mode."
DEAN: [Ignores him and continues onward into the park.] "So, any ideas on what the hell we're looking for here?"
You
HARRIET: [Snickers slightly.] He has a point, Green-eyes… “Maybe we’ll know it when we see it. Anyway, I think it be a good start if we walked through here the same way Nadia would on her way home. Kinda walking in her footsteps.”
Me
SAM: "That's a great idea, Harriet." [Looks across the street and spots the diner where Nadia worked.] "Huh."
LEVI: [Glances back at him over his shoulder and sees the diner as well.] "Well, that's fortunate. Just happened to find a place to park right across from the diner."
You
HARRIET: [Smirks a little as she looks at the diner.] “Lucky us. And Nadia lived…” [Looks around the park for a moment before settling in a direction.] “So… I think it's this way.”
Me
DEAN: "So, just walk until we see something."
SAM: "You know that it's better than just sitting around waiting for something to happen."
DEAN: [Makes his 'touche' face and keeps walking.]
LEVI: [Shakes his head.] These two…. Though Sam has a point.
((I went to just before LiteralCyborg joined and copy pasted posts up to before the one that left it open for their character to jump in. So it's your go!))
(good idea!)
HARRIET: [smirks a little] “I actually prefer actively looking instead of playing the waiting game. Probably why I was… a little irritable when we first met at the black hole hotel.”
LEVI: [Walks along at a slower pace than what he normally does. Looks a little irritated because of it.] I hate walking at a slower pace, but it's a good idea to stick around them just in case.
