    Patricia: Erm...I can't see how getting the police involved would hurt exactly, but then where I came from there weren't crime gangs and street armed robberies and death warrants being issued all over the place...I'm okay as long as we get the information we want out of him somehow.

    point taken Patricia, now that we have Fernando on the phone, I'd like to ask him 1 thing
    (bear in mind I havent told him yet that we caught The Flutist)

    'Fernando, Ive heard rumours about a villain... the flutist it was, I believe, is there any chance that there's a warrant on his head, a certain amount of credits given to the person who can, hypothetically, bring this man to justice?'

    Patricia: *daren't talk for fear of Fernando hearing in the background, but grins and gives Maurice a claw-up*

    Update time, I think you all know most of this already, but just so there is a record of it:

    Following capturing the Flautist, a brief chat with the Bartender at the Hyperlion revealed that there are at least three beings which matched the name 'Moon' that he knew of - Moon Master - an alien pulp villain with retro lasers, Grey Moon - a shaman who controlled animals to commit crime and Moon Baboon, a massive white and angry ape. None of these was however necessarily in the kind of position you'd expect to be running an operation like this.

    He also suggested three places - the Moon Rock Warehouse (does what it says on the tin) The Star and Moon - a bar and restaurant with a small sideline in criminal activity and the Bloodmoon - the most exclusive club in the city and notorious crimal hide out.

    They also found out about a man called the Rocketmaster, a supervillain conspiracy theorist who would seem to have got himself killed by Panginoon. He had many theories to Panginoons nature, but they changed regularly enough that none of them likely had much evidence.

    He also explained a bit about the Hyperlion and his own 'superpower' of always having paperwork land in his favour, and how he used that and insurance to make a living from the Hyperlion. Serving drinks is effectively a sideline.

    ________________________________________

    In the morning the group split up, with Taranis and Patricia heading to go and speak to Panginoon while Maurice and Phil went to inteorogate the captured Flautist. Blotter unfortunatly woke up in a quantum singularity and thus was present at both meetings and neither. This should settle down soon.

    The Panginoon group met a friendly Gargoyle named Monty, who informed them that there were no traps in the castle there, but that there was cake. He let the two (or three?) inside, where they encountered the seemingly jolly Ms Atoom. She explained that you couldn't meet with Panginnon, yet, and explained the death of the Rocketmaster (the guy attacked Panginoon in his own house) and suggested the Bloodmoon as the most likely location. She did suggest that the Zero-G, 48 varied floor club would be impossible for some of you to get into.

    Meanwhile Maurice interviewed the Flautist with the help of magic truth cheese, and after bribing him with moisturiser suggestions (don't ask) revealled that he wasn't on contract to kill them specifically, but rather to kill Evil Ape-Jefferson. He also revealled that the flyer had been given to him by Barrow the Homunculi but was too afraid to elaborate on him. Also, Barrow had been handing out the flyers to all sorts of criminals, and revealled the identitoes of at least 3 more potential assassins: Man-tapir, Scuzza the stereotyped violent punk and most dangerous of the three Ten-Knife the Psychotic one eyed Moomin.

    He also suggested that he didnt know the location of moon himself, as it was annonimous to protect criminals from crime fighhters, but he suspect the Star and Moon, the cities Planetarium or the Bloodmoon as the probable suspects.
    After finishing the interview, looking on the police computers it revealled that Barrow is a henchman of V.

    And that's what you missed on OddestSEE

    Quick financial update:

    I forgotten how much thigns were charged, but you all got 200 each for bringing the Flautist in, plus a 15 daily allowance. I forget the exact figures, but people should have approximatly:

    Phil Harmonik - 230
    Blotter - 230
    Maurice - 230
    Taranis - 240
    Patricia - 215

    I may be wrong, so if I am and it works out not in your favour, let me know with details and I'll update. From now on I'll actually monitor money properly

    Suddenly, Blotter's snail begins to sing a little jingle (which is faintly disturbing... it has no visible mouth) and the Marowak answers it.

    It's Urtusk the WereManatee from the forensics lab, results are in, although they may not be entirely to your liking.

    The substance is artificial, and furthermore patented - under a special kind of classified. All you know is that someone has paid money to conceal from the public what it is and who made it. You'll have to pay a visit to the patent office, with a warrant, to find out any more.

    It wound seem to be however, some kind of biological nanotech infused DNA, far more complicated than anything Urtusk has ever seen. Urtusk passes over the patent number to give to the office.

    Update time:

    Blotter finally materialises, and sets off on his own to the patent office, armed with a warrant got from Fernando in exchange for a future favour.

    Upon arriving he has a short debate with a creature which resembles a series of donuts interlinked like a chain. The warrant closes this arguement down though and Blotter is shown the information.

    He takes a copy of the file, it seems to a kind of artificial flesh with various modifications most notably, removing aging, and giving complete immunity to poison and disease. What uses it might have is not mentioned. It seems to belong to a company called the AK Group, but doesn't give any contact information. Blotter then heads back to the police station.

    _____________________________

    Elsewhere, following Atoom's directions - Maurice meets Jacoby - an irrate Recap, who lends him 5 assorted shapechanging rings that should get people into Bloodmoon. Their specific forms are unknown, and once worn they can only be removed after a minimum of three hours.

    Maurice takes the lapis lazuli, Blotter the Red Gold, Patricia the black metal and emerald, Phil the silver and black and Taranis is left with silver and amythest.
    __________________________

    Meanwhile at Castle Rock while discussing her potential origin, Patricia gets given the theory that she is a very rare twice-fallen someone who has managed to fall between dimensions twice. From the top of her head, the only other being Atoom knows off who has done that is an ancient historical figure called Doomforall

    After that, taking a slice of very good cake with them, they pay to get a cricket take them back to the police station meet everyone else.

    Phil Harmonik - 230
    Blotter - 230
    Maurice - 230 - 20 for ring loan = 210
    Taranis - 240 - 1 for cricket = 239
    Patricia - 215 - 1 for cricket = 214

    Patricia: I'd like to suggest that at some point we find out about the AK Group, it shouldn't take too long?

    Further Update:

    The AK Group is according to police records, an ultra-high tech company whose work is largely classified. There is an address for the industrial district but there are large holes in what data you have, including, but not limited to, what products they make, and where there money comes from. They have large numbers of shares in the Mechanists company though.

    Meanwhile, so they can get to the bar, Phil, Maurice and Patricia put on their rings.

    Maurice turns into a suave one eyed late 50s man with white hair and a white suit and a very charismatic voice.
    Patricia has become what seems to be a 8ft tall suit of animated skull and spike themed black armour, complete with cape.
    Phil on the other hand has got a ring giving him the form of a voluptuous female vampire, with velvet corset dress. Being a creative type, he is less weirded out by this than most.

    Blotter and Taranis still have their rings to put on, which if they could confirm that they will and then head off to Bloodmoon, would be much appreciated.

    Well, as I have the plans for Bloodmoon for less than half the party, I won't be able to do the full update before Cornwall. However, I'll update Steve and Joey's plotlines and generally getting into Bloodmoon.

    Taranis puts on the ring, and suddenly is a lot more metallic. This particular ring seems to be one that has transformed the mutant child into a contemporary Party-bot in this case, a recent androgenous model with the ability to shift between different outfits, either male or female and slightly adjust form accordingly. It's obviously an expensive model, though unfortunatly has an irritating vaguely european accent and a smooth white and silver finish. Currently, set to androgenous default with skinny jeans, a plain black t-shirt and shades.

    After entering Bloodmoon, and getting nods from the bouncers for being suitably powerful, rich and/or attractive, the five enter a huge spherical room where they hover in the Zero-G room. This is the main 'floor' of the club, and the room is clean and white, with the hexagons that form the outside of the sphere either being panels which constantly change soft colours, or a large number of portals that go to different slightly Higher-G rooms. In the centre of the room, is an insectoid humaoid with far to many arms for it's thin frame mixing at least 15 tracks at once.

    Patricia, feeling clumsy in the massive and heavy armour, heads towards the bar, the only fully normal gravity room in the club. Within it she finds a man dressed in black a black suit and wearing a mask. he claims to be V - the V, and after a brief conversation he offers her a job on the basis that for a Dreadknight (presumable the identity of this new armoured form) she shows remarkable power to the degree where she isn't compelled to be maliciously evil. He even goes far to offer a job, guardign the transferance of an unspecified but very dangerous device between Industrial District and Docks. This is apparently utterly legal, and though Patricia is nervous about it, he hands her his card - which turns out to be a small living origami winged goblin thing made out of a a good quality handmade paper.

    Meanwhile Phil is making use of his new form in the Venetian Ballroom floor, and meets a fellow musician. It turns out to be the Cellist - a part time concert Cellist, part time Cello themed super heroine. She doesn't give the slightest sign of being attracted to Phil in his current guise, but does get gossiping about music and the current crime fighters who are making their mark. For two days now apparently a guy has been really laying the heat on magic users and scientist villains, beating them up pretty severely. Rumours are it's a guy who'd been pretty minor league til now called the Squire.

    The other three, as they haven't decided what to do wander between the floors a bit and eavesdrop a lot of interestign characters:

    Hans Crabmeister - a Billionaire hedonistic Industrialist Giant Prawn with a really irritating Germanic Accent
    Lots of Partybots, including a very old one calling itself Sir Chromalot
    Numerous rich and spoilt heirs and heiresses
    Bouncers and Musicians and Bartenders

    There are plenty of options about...

    Most worryingly though, there is someone matching the description of Ten-knife present.
