 [ closed log : Hanzo, Penny, Mami ]

The group of explorers that Eliot has pulled together for his search is, safe to say, a colourful bunch. Literally and figuratively. He at least managed to balance the gender ratio and set out with competent (and one bribed,) protection. They've set out on a search around Everglade, across the old bridge, after Eliot got too curious. And they've found something.

[ open video ]

Good afternoon, everyone! I'm afraid technology still baffles me sometimes, so I'm not quite sure how to contact specific people...

I went exploring and may have found something. Could someone from the "GSRF" get back to me? I am with Ms Tomoe, Ms Penny, and Mr Hanzo as well, so if they are easier to contact then I do not mind.

I didn't know dead bodies could be so artistic.

CLOSED LOG FOR THE BRAVE EXPLORERS

[anamnestik]

[Now inside the Monosteory, Eliot stops to get a good look around. Just arching his neck back and turning slowly as he takes the time to truly notice and memorize every detail.

His attention then settles on the guestbook. His library instincts are screaming at him to go read it, but he doesn't bolt for it just yet.]

... Well then. This is an interesting use of bones.

Its...Definitely something.

[Mami was a little unnerved by the decor, but she wandered further inside. At least she had something to write under Everglade in her notes later. She looked at the guestbook for a moment, before turning her attention to the warning.]

Why would anyone want to 'disturb the rested'? Unless just coming in here disturbs them...

Hello. Edward Nygma, GSRF Forensics. Are you implying you found a body?

[anamnestik]

Oh my, how do I phrase this...

There was a chandelier and it appeared to be made of bones?

[acrostic]

[ This is so exciting. ]

Oh! Did you stumble into an ossuary? You know bones have been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings on what can be considered holy places. Saves space. Regardless of which world everyone seems to come from, this is usually out of practice. Modern society has become squeamish when it comes to seeing signs of death.

Are you still there?

[anamnestik]

Yes, sir. That seems to be the case here. There are also what appear to be family crests made out of bones.

... And sort of? I've stepped outside for the video. I didn't want to disrespect the monosteory.

[Because it's an open video, have Rapunzel appear a little puzzled.]

You found a dead body?

[anamnestik]

Well. A chandelier of bones, to be specific.

In a fantastic building. It seems to be paying respect to the dead.

[ivegotadream]

A chandelier of bones... [He paused for a moment.] That's an interesting art choice.

[anamnestik]

A sentiment that I wholly agree with.

[Even now, it's a disturbing memory that he cannot unsee... without his pocket watch. He hasn't chosen to wipe it yet.]

Regardless... It looked to be done respectfully. Perhaps someone took "building civilization on the bones of our ancestors" a bit too far.

It looks like Ed's taking the lead on this one. [ Which is fair, he is the forensics guy. ] What did you find, exactly?

[anamnestik]

Ah, Weiss. What wonderful timing.

It appears to be an old monosteory, across that sad bridge in Everglade. I'm not sure if photography is appropriate in a sacred resting place...

[whiteas]

[ There's a brief pause, then. ]

You're recording a video.

[anamnestik]

Ah, yes. But I'm standing outside, for the moment...

I'm worried about offending the dead.

[video ; private]

[immortalrose]

...Dead bodies?!

[The look upon Augustine's face is priiiiceless.]

Where are you? I'm taking you home RIGHT now.

[anamnestik]

[Meanwhile, the look on Eliot's face is... inappropriate.]

Augustine! Good afternoon. Don't worry, I'm safe!

I found a monosteory! I'm thinking I might sign my name in this guestbook for science. Then I'll come home.

[immortalrose]

Don't you "Good afternoon" me! You could be in danger!

[He's already getting dressed and looking for his guns. If Eliot is in any danger, he's going out there by himself to save him. The boy is under his protection after all.]

A monastery? Where? I had no idea there were "monks" here. Do you know what religion they practiced? [Augustine asks while searching for his ammunition belt. He has those blessed silver bullets hidden somewhere.]

I was once an "abbé", you know. A priest of the faith. It's been centuries since those days. I hung the cloth and grabbed me a damn gun.

[anamnestik]

[Eliot is still fair too carefree about this. Mostly because he doesn't care much about his wellbeing, so long as he's being somewhat useful.]

Ahh, don't worry! I hired Mr Hanzo to accompany me. Ms Tomoe and Ms Penny came as well. They're all keeping an eye on me.

[His only reason for a mood shift is realizing he's troubling Augustine. That somehow negates any potential to be useful here.] I can't tell for certain. There is some writing here that I will try to read shortly. Family crests seem to be have arranged using bones... and not all of the bones are human. But I don't think it's going to hurt me.

You know, when you over feed and leave a body usually you don't announce it to the entire network.

[She might be pouting a little. What kind of trouble did you get into and why wasn't she invited.]

[anamnestik]

Wha-- NO! That's not it!

It's the chandelier! It's made out of bones, okay? I found it like this!

[singinghuntress]

[She can't help but snicker.]

Then why didn't you say that? You made it sound like you tripped over a fresh body in an alley or something.

[anamnestik]

Fine! 'cuz I'm an idiot! you happy?

[He pouts.] I'm in Everglade. I wanted to see what's over that old bridge, that's all.

[blindpuppet]

I can help with technology too.

[anamnestik]

That could be helpful...

I must have used my pocket watch again, because I don't remember how to use some of the fantastic devices in my own home.

[blindpuppet]

I can teach you to use anything or I can just do it for you... which will be faster.
