Palm the phone in his pocket looking around to the other divine standing right there, "Hi Spiro, I am Mark I think we should talk" then going in a little closer "let her go we can find her again"
"Sure...What's up"?
@Francis: Given the location, the best guess seems a facial piercing of some variety, though all but the stud itself seems to have burned away.
GM: did we get our fake bomb in the elevator?
Mark and Spiro find their conversation rudely interrupted as the speakers blare throughout the building. "All Staff be advised, Code Black on Floor Four. Repeat, Code Black on Floor Four." The Emergency Room grows even more chaotic as newly arrived police try to herd patients and staff, frequently in directly opposite directions of the efforts of Hospital employees. Mark and Spiro find themselves quickly ushered outside if they don't try to stop it, meanwhile Jasper and the Doctors find themselves apparently abandoned in the exam room.
"I believe we have something in common that might help us deal with that (getting ready to point to where the man blew up) shouting to be heard over the alarm we need to get to that body." Mark smiles "I think I can get us there." He looks down at his shoes and Smiles.
ARIADNE’S THREAD (•)
Dice Pool: Perception + Survival
Cost: 1 Legend
The caster declares a target (a person, place or thing)
and can thenceforth unerringly track where that target
has gone by following the perturbations he leaves in the
threads of Fate. If the target is a place, the caster can
always find his way back there, no matter how disoriented
or lost he has become. This spell’s effect lasts for one
day per success rolled, but it can be increased on a daily
basis by spending one Legend point.
Roll(6d10)+0:
4,6,5,10,3,6,+ 1 for epic Per total 3 so can track her for 3 days
Then see if I can catch the scent of the 2 divine that took the body if scent of the divine is activated if not I will make a choice then

"Right". "Give me a moment to keep these people from killing each other, then we can make our exit".
Spiro, rattles off a loud rock and roll skat, and once he has everyone's attention, calmly informs them, that everything is fine...they are in a hospital...and to please form up in an orderly fashion, and exit as informed by the authorities. He also attempts to get the police, and hospital personnel working together with the same speech, before stepping down, and letting whoever seems to be in charge of the evacuation take over.
@Mark: Mark saw the Divine Doctors head to the elevators with the body, but they seem to be out of range of his scent at the moment.
Spiro's method of crowd control might be unconventional, but it's certainly no less effective for it. People calm down and line up without even realizing what they're doing, and the staff herd them in the appropriate directions. A couple of the paramedics pause to throw thumbs-up Spiro's direction, and while some of the other staff seem less amused they go about their much easier duties.
"Doc Tocal, can you give an update, are you about finished? the hair on the back of my neck is starting to stand up; can you wrap this up in another 10 minutes? I was hoping we could move out in the confusion, but they seem to have found, ahem, "something" and we need to jet or our risks greatly increase. Would look strange if we dont evacuate, I can only assume what a hospital code black is as hospital codes are not standardized."
Since I got my samples and the stud, I will help Tocal as good as I can with any secondary examination he might not be able to finish in time (I'm quite sure he can finish the primary examinations by himself), I will even take orders from him, since he seems to be the more professional forensic examiner.
"ok". "Cool" "Lets go dude...you lead the way".
Speed time please.
Sure speed it up.
Between Mark's unerring direction sense and Spiro's persuasive abilities, the pair make their way quickly to the examination room, where they find the Doctors and Jasper wrapping up and leaving. Words are exchanged, presumably free of violence, and the band manages to variously arrange their way through the turmoil and out of the hospital.
A short walk to the north, aided by Jasper and Mark, arrives comfortably our of the way of the rapidly growing ring of police and emergency vehicles surrounding the hospital, leaving the band standing by an empty parking lot. A short buzz and the sound of midi music alert Mark to the stolen phone in his pocket, which has begun ringing. The screen displays a phone number and the name "Kaz".
Please do.
"My car is this way if you need a ride. Maybe we should discuss what just happened in a quieter setting"
"I agree. This background noise does not lend itself to enlightening conversation - please lead the way!"
If everyone piled in to my hot rod; I will drive to a not to busy cafe or coffee shop where we can get a booth; hopefully that is nearby.
"Sure". "Let me call Jasper (Limo Driver/sound guy/manager) and let him know that Duce is not here, and to go back to the crib, and wait on my call".
Spiro gets out his latest cell phone, and makes the call.
Let the phone go to voice mail for now, we can find a way to listen to it later. "Car huh, I wouldn't suppose you would be able to fit my bike in the trunk. If not I will have to follow. I think there's a place close by, but do we want to be so close to the Hospital?" Mark looks around at the group trying to place their heritage.
"Lets regroup at the I-Hop down the road, I'm hungry all of a sudden."
Maybe; if the front tire comes off in a quick connect; otherwise I still have a rack on top from moving here; havent taken them off yet.
Is Ihop really what we want; little to bright, sunny and exposed; was thinking more a mom and pop coffee shop; bit dingy and quiet.

"Tying it to the rack might be best the bike doesn't come apart that easily." Looking at Xochipilli then at Jasper "I think an I-Hop might be the perfect place if there is a alot of people we could blend in rather than sticking out as the only people in a small Mom & Pops."
"Dudes...you might not follow mainstream Rock and Roll, but there's about a 1 in 3 chance that if we go out in public there might be a whole herd of teenage girls all over us in about 5 minutes...just saying"
Spiro just put on some sunglasses and nobody will recognize you.
Mark walks over to a Nurses station and finds the paper masks with the sign near it put one on if you have a cold. "Here just be one of those paranoids nutcases" he hands one to Spiro.
Ok; we head to an IHOP,and look over the parking lot and nearby streets and shops. I back the car in a slot in case we need a quick gettaway; park near a table I see open so inside I can see my car. I order coffee and a Rutti Tutti Fresh and Fruity with my cinn/apples on the side, eggs over medium and add a side of hash browns. I go to the bathroom to wash up; but clandestinely check all the patrons and exits and such.

"OK". "Seems a shame to hide this beautiful mug though, even for a little while". Spiro says with a sly smile, as he takes the offered mask.
"So; what is the analysis from the Hospital? Very strange if you ask me; what could initiate such a thing?"
sips his coffee...
@ Spiro "So who are these fans that think you are beautiful, and what do you do that makes you popular." Looks at Spiro in the Mask "definitely an improvement."
"More coffee please"
Mark takes out the phone checking what the phone number is then goes to access voicemail when it asks for the password first trying the last 4 digits of the phone's number and listen to any message that was left with the last call As well as check texts.
When the waitress comes by he'll orderOrange Juice the Big Breakfast extra Meat and a side of Hash Crispy thanks.
I would dare to speculate this was not a simple case of good old spontaneous combustion - with five of us as witnesses that would indeed be be a strange coincidence, too strange for my taste.
Tocal, you should be the one to spill the little information we have from from the autopsie. If you would be so kind, please?
"ok, Tocal?"
eyes the doc expectantly.
<= picks his teeth with a toothpick
"life happens, settle back till the waitress comes back; things are probably fine, we can always change our minds if needed"
94 posts, 94 posts on the wall; you take em down; pass em around; will we get 95 posts on the wall?
