The Perk, Thursday afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

So far Marc had no new information about what was going on. Okay, sure, Steven swore he could read Watts's handwriting but first up it wasn't like the notes were detailed or organized and second Steven was probably full of shit. What kind of a word was waugh anyway? Like what, Watts had stopped to get a quote from Keanu Reeves or something?

What Marc did know, now, thanks to Summer was that Lana had been looking into it. So Marc handwavily arranged to meet up with her at the Perk to find out if she'd learned anything.

And, yanno, make sure she was still around. Not that Marc worried about people or anything.

Marc grabbed himself a coffee and waited for Lana to show up.

[he's here for Lana but open for Perky needs too]

Lana nodded to Marc as she came in, but took a moment to get a coffee first before joining him.

"How is Steven?"

"Still freaking out," Marc said. Then he amended it to say, "He's not having a panic attack or anything but he's not happy. You? You're still here, that's something."

[unusual_sith]

"Mm." Lana nodded. "Nobody new missing that I know of. Have you discovered anything?"

[hasaknightjob]

"Not much," Marc admitted. "Been trying to go through Watts's notes but he didn't exactly leave a message about where he was going to get kidnapped, or whatever the fuck this is."

Hopefully not shot again. For a number of reasons, not the least of which was the worry that that spot on his arm could only take so much damage.

"You?" Marc asked. "Heard you tried something?"

[unusual_sith]

"I tried this weekend, but I couldn't find them," Lana said. "Nell had a bit more success, at least in figuring out something's going on. You could ask her about it."

"I thought you were part of that," Marc said. "You and her and Ignis. So what happened?"

[unusual_sith]

Lana raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "You could have gone to the source." If you weren't being an idiot.

"She hit a metaphorical - or perhaps a metaphysical - wall. There's something in the woods with a barrier around it she couldn't get through."

Marc would've pointed out that as far as he knew talking to Lana was a source because nobody had told him that it was specifically Nell who had done something, only that Nell, Ignis, and Lana had been working together. But that wasn't the important part right now.

"Huh," Marc said instead, intelligently. "Did you try with your Force stuff?"

Again, said intelligently.
