Oddestsey III

Dibs on the magic sitar! Phil's been meaning to enter the 'eastern philosophy' stage of his music career for months now.

[kodster]

Dibs on the magical cape! Then a quick 'thanks' to said officer and then off to the crime scene...care to accompany me, Marti? What does everyone else think?

[joey_picus]

Patricia: I...I feel a bit underequipped to start poking around crime scenes, heh. I suggest we split up and one or two of us go and talk to the police in other areas, something like this can't have been planned and confined to just this area of the city.

I'd also like to have a closer look at the magical staves if that's alright?

[majinb]

ok, 2 things... can I get a look at the 7 blades classified as remarkable? and can I please be told how far away the crime scene is? if its anywhere beyond walking distance, me and Kody's character are gonna take a bicycle ride there, together with whoever wants to join us, although Im all in favour of people staying here to have a conversation with the police pigeon

Maurice strides with his powerful cyclist legs down the hall and into the confiscated room. He heads straight over to the blades and takes a look. He sees:

1) A massive broadsword -a foot wide and 15 foot long. Unliftable.
2) A 5 inch tanto - not explicitly magical or technological, but it€™s made with such skill as to be the perfect blade
3) A flaming longsword which smells like burning hair when ignited
4) A Singing sword. Unfortunately, the singing is limited to really off pitch renditions of Cher songs.
5) A slightly more plain longsword, this one doesn€™t have a clear power, but has a tag labelling it magical
6) and 7) Two similar atomic powered chainsaw knives. One is newer and smaller, the other an older model, and rusty, but designed for more difficult materials.

The crime scene is proably 20mins away for a normal cyclist.
________________________
Phil takes the Sitar. He immediately feels more at one with the universe and more balanced, though this is possibly not the limit of it€™s power. Having selected an item he is immediately transported outside the room by the security systems, and a forcefield prevents it getting back in.
________________________
A similar thing occurs with Blotter and his cape. It has an odd texture to it - touching it€™s surface is strange, a weird sensory confusion feeling like simultaneously touching the finest silk and a rough steel bulkhead. Blotter also exits the room in a brief flash of light and finds himself outside.
________________________
Patricia inspects the staffs. They are a mixture of science and magic. All but three seem to be various projectile powers, water jets, fire, magic missiles, lasers, acid etc. Out of the remaining three, one seems to have some kind of transmution based power. Another seems to be project a forcefield €˜umbrella€™ from one end. The third reeks of evil even to the non magical and you can€™t even bring yourself to look at it let alone try and take it.

[steven_mcg]

Since most of the others are still picking their goodies, I'll give the sitar a test run while I wait, see how she plays. I'll bet Norwegian Wood sounds totally sweet on this baby.

[alex_holt]

The Sitar plays perfectly. Not only that, but after a single note, Phil finds himself with some perculiar side effects. He is able to filter through every sensory input he has, and just see what he wants to do with perfect crystal clear focus that the human mind shouldn't be able to do. Like silencing every sound in the station except the ones he wants. He also finds himself able to broadly detect the prevalent emotions in any place. It seems to be mostly boredom here.

Lastly he finds himself better able to controll his own movements, to the point where he feels he could move serenely out of the way of a bullet while playing this thing.

[kodster]

Think I'll inspect the cape a bit more before hopping on the bike with Marti. Sounds interesting at the very least...very ve-ry interesting.

[majinb]

I wish to:

Take mysterious magic sword for a swing to see if I can discover anything magical about it

and take the flaming sword for a quick swing too

Im intrigued by the iSlayer too, the police may have labelled it irreparable, but surely they have never had a living battery on their team like we do

[joey_picus]

Patricia: *inspects staves, pondering the ones that shoot water and missiles before eventually indicating that she'll take the forcefield projecting one*

Before I leave...erm...I was wondering if Taranis wanted to come with me to check with the other police departments? You don't have to, but I reckon it's easier if I don't split off from *all* of the others, although if you'd prefer to go to the crime scene I'd be happy to go on my own.

I'd also like to ask who this Mr. Panginoon is, if that's alright? and which of the police districts would Fernando, Prince Among Pigeons, reccommend we/I go to to seek out leads, if any particular one?
