[Things Happening ITT] 15 minutes into XI history class...

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:25 pm

"...of course, Napoleon delayed actually starting the battle until the next day, as he waited for the ground to dry. Now, Wellington had his forces aligned..."

Roland was lecturing about the Battle of Waterloo -- this time, an actual lecture, as opposed to one of his more, erm, hands-on demonstrations. Roland was...not a very good lecturer.

"...and at about 10 o'clock, Napoleon..."

Roland was interrupted by his cell phone going off. Roland glanced down.

"...class dismissed."

He took out a long, brown parcel from underneath his desk, and immediately walked quickly out the door.

Forty-five minutes remained in the scheduled class.

((As open as open can be))

The hell? Idly, cal scanned the transmission logs to see if he'd gotten anything he could decipher from the call or text. It wasn't exactly the most secure looking phone, after all.

by **Narrator** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:33 pm

The call had come from a cell phone down at the docks in Maldon; Cal could trace that without too much of a hassle.

The phone itself was old enough that there wasn't exactly a lot of data to be taken off of it; it might as well be a sundial. Seriously, it was probably older than several people in the room.

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:34 pm

"The hell was that?" Kay wonders, suddenly awake, much unlike during the lecture.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:37 pm

"What was in that package?" Alex wondered as he put his book away.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:38 pm

"That's probably the drugs he sells."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:38 pm

"Who cares?" Theresa said to Alex. "If we don't have to listen to more of that lecture, a win's a win."

by **Regan Rourke** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:39 pm

"You should all follow him and find out," Regan says, "I'll stay here."

"Because I don't care."

"...I kind of hope he dies."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:40 pm

"You don't think we should... er, you know?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:42 pm

The hell is so important at the docks? Cal started a broad search for systems in Maldon, trying to find an access to the computers at the docks, wondering if maybe their security system was wired in. "What, you want some pretty boy company haunting the place with you?" He asked Regan distractedly as he searched.

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:42 pm

"If he's selling drugs we probably shouldn't try following him..."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:43 pm

"It's obvious. He gets a call, has to leave with a brown bag. He's totally dealing."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:43 pm

"Would he make it that obvious if it was really drugs?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:46 pm

"Apparently! I mean, dealers are not usually the most subtle people ever."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:47 pm

"And he doesn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer, to be fair."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:50 pm

"Should we tell somebody?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:55 pm

"No, we should go hang out or something."

by **Narrator** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:07 pm

Cal COULD get access to what passed for security systems at the docks in Maldon -- it's not exactly a MAJOR port, so there's not a TON of security other than cameras and things. Lots of privatley owned boats and things like that, one relatively large...well, it wasn't a fishing boat, but we're talking one that could fit maybe ten people on board.

by **Steve Jones** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:46 pm

"Maybe he's a spy," Steve provided.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:47 pm

"You'd think a spy would dress better."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:55 pm

"Wouldn't everyone know you're a spy if you walk around dressed like James Bond?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:01 pm

"Wouldn't matter, he'd be too stylish to stop."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:41 pm

"Uhm... I don't think arguing about this is doing us much good, here."

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:47 pm

Cal, meanwhile, let them banter while he locked himself into the security feeds, recording what was going on on the odd boat and looking somewhat smug.

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:53 pm

Ashlie meanwhile was triangulating the position of Roland's phone.

"He's headed towards the garage." she calmly informs everyone.

by **Narrator** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:19 pm

A car pulled up outside one of Cal's security feeds, and two men in balaclavas stepped out. They stood there, waiting awkwardly.

by **Calvin Strong** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:33 pm

Oh, what the hell. "You all want to see what's going on?" Cal asked, starting to put his stuff away, "Head to the docks."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:00 pm

Mercy walks over and opens the nearest window, looks skeptically out at the sky.

by **Haley Crusek** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:08 pm

Haley woke up when the phone rang. While professor weaver might notice and care that she was asleep Her history professor...well he usually seemed off in his own world. She started a bit in her seat, and hoped no one noticed that she'd actually started to drool on her notebook.

wait..where's he...what the...

Haley focused her mind on the rapidly departing professor to see if she could hear anything before he left the room.

by **Narrator** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:23 pm

Haley could actually hear something! Hurray!

Unfortunately, she couldn't speak the language. Boo.

But he was certainly nervous, determined -- and in a hurry.

by **Regan Rourke** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:25 pm

"Yeah, no one make any immediate decisions or anything," Regan says, "Standing around will totally cure your curiosity."

by **Haley Crusek** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:28 pm

"So...that was fun?" Haley said as the rumble of conversation following his departure died down a bit.

"Why do we want to follow our weirdo history teacher as he sells some crack, again?"

by **Steve Jones** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:36 pm

"I certainly don't want to get stabbed by a tweaker."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:40 pm

"Well your boyfriend seems to think it's a good idea..."

by **Regan Rourke** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:57 pm

"Oh god, this conversation is worse than history class," Regan says, heading for the door, "I'm going to go follow him. Feel free to form a committee to explore the issue of whether or not you guys suck."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:05 pm

"Should we make sure she doesn't get herself double-killed?" Kay says, grabbing her stuff and getting ready to follow Regan's lead.

by **Steve Jones** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:07 pm

"Y'all are nuts," Steve scoffed.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:11 pm

Can't let Kay get herself killed...

"Yeah, we probably should," she said, having the good sense to leave her stuff behind.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:12 pm

Brigid shook her head, following after Kay and Theresa.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:12 pm

Mercy, eventually deciding the sky is okay, lets some darkforce flow around her, mainly to prevent any chance wardrobe malfunctions. "I'm going to check it out from above." She then jumps out the window, wings quickly carrying her upwards.

After gaining some decent altitude, she starts a long glide down toward the docks.
