The Case of the Misdirected Dectective [Open]
Who: Spinelli and you!!
Where: The City
Summary: Having an overactive imagination may not be the best thing when you get lost in a strange city.
It had all seemed so easy. The map on the Omnicomm that Splicer had shown him was clear and detailed, the place where the clothiers were clearly marked. It should be the simplest of matters for one with his intellect to follow said map from from the tube to where the stores in question were located. But he hadn't realized just how big the city was, and that things were much further away than they seemed. The areas of rubble didn't help matters much, and there were a few times he had to detour to get around blocked off areas. After some time had passed and he still hadn't found the shops in question, he could only come to one conclusion.
Damian Spinelli, computer hacker, assistant author, some-time video game designer and private investigator...was lost.
The simplest option, of course, was to turn around and go back the way he came. Or...he could pull out the Omnicom again, check the map and see if he could figure out where he had wound up. Pausing by a pile of rubble that might have at one time been someone's house, he started to hunt around his messenger bag to find the small communications device to try that second option when he heard a noise. Could it be someone, or some thing, had tracked him here? There had been that battle not too long ago. What if he had stumbled upon a place where not everything had been defeated?
Grabbing the nearest thing to hand, he rounded the corner, brandishing the item like a weapon, although not terribly effectively. It was a ratty old cloth purse, made from a fabric covered in pink roses. The thing looked utterly ridiculous in his hands, and quite possibly not at all intimidating. Well, unless there was some reason to feel threatened by a handbag that might fall apart at any second. His voice - not terribly deep to begin with - went up about a half octave as he cried out a warning.
"Cease and desist, vile evil doer!"

Yes, and when was a formal news service going to start up? The crew definitely needed one, especially when the only person or person who knew vital things could be whisked away at any moment.
no subject
"My apologies for seeming distracted, but this is troubling news indeed. I-I have friends, you see, who surely must still be in the pods."
no subject
She would almost guess the second.
"Your friends could awaken here, or the war could be won and they could all be released." Hopefully.

His eyes flicked open again after that, the worry he was feeling set aside for the moment. He would go and look at the lists, and find out what he could. "You have been most kind, Fair But Unearthly One. The Jackal gives you his thanks. If...if I am able to find any locations within the city on his own explorations that hold electricity, I will most certainly pass along that information in return. But would you forgive me if I took my leave of you for the moment so I might see what information I am able to procure in regards to my friends that still sleep within the pods anyway?"
no subject
"Of course. I wish you good luck in your search. You might want to put a message on the omnicomm channel saying that you are here, and who you are looking for; even if your friends are not awake yet, when they do awaken, they will know that you are here."
Or were here.
