New Avalon

[yamikuronue]

Erika winces a little, trying to keep her face placid. Let's not draw a ton of attention...

[CalamityJade]

"Well, then they can ask me themselves. The galll of them, sending someone rather than just asking themselves. Don't they know how busy I am." Dr. Harrisberg scoffed as he looked Rob over. "At least you don't wear those ridiculous uniforms."

[Hammer Sister]

"Advantage of being a freelancer," Rob explains with a smile. "And I understand you are a busy man; as I said, we'd arrange a more convenient time for the interview. Also, I get the feeling you'd prefer to converse with me rather than a member of the GRD; I understand they can be a bit... difficult to get along with sometimes."

[CalamityJade]

Dr. Harrisberg scoffed. "Difficult is not the word. Still if you, and by extension them, need something from me, there's a high chance it will either be a waste of my time or a contribution of my holdings." He seemed to mull over that for a moment. "Why did Gregory decide that us speaking would be worth my time?"

[yamikuronue]

Erika clears her throat, mustering up her courage. "I believe it had to do with the disappearance of his brother."

[Hammer Sister]

"And whether there is a connection between that and the Mordriana incident," Rob adds. "I'd like to clarify that no-one is being suspected of anything; at this time, all I'm asking for is information. Specifically, about a patch design that was found on the uniforms of those who were behind the Mordriana incident, one that I believe you can help me identify."

[CalamityJade]

The man didn't scoff, actually giving them both a look over. "...hmm. Well, the lad was headstrong and brash, but even he shouldn't be absent this long...Saturday at the Historic Avalonian Musium. I expect to see the both of you there at noon and not a minute later. Even for the two of them, I'm not going to tolerate tardiness or wasting of my time."

[Hammer Sister]

"Saturday at noon, Historic Avalonian Museum," Rob repeats in agreement. "I can definitely make that; Erika?"

[yamikuronue]

Erika nods her head. "Yes, sir!"

[CalamityJade]

"Then we should have no problem." With that he turned back towards the flow of people heading out and started making his way.

[Hammer Sister]

Rob lets out a small sigh of relief. "He's not the nicest man to get along with; thankfully, he's agreed to a meeting." He looks around briefly; the bulk of the crowd is slowly filing out of the building. "Guess there's no point hanging around..."

[yamikuronue]

Erika nods. "Yeah... this was... eventful."

Erika takes a deep breath, trying to get back any semblance of the feelings of excitement and happiness she'd felt just a short hour ago. Another strange accident, another instance of fortune lashing out and destroying someone's happiness... could this have been her fault? The sick churning in her stomach says yes, despite logic saying no. After all, she should expect the consequences to fall on her and her alone.... right?

She glances around for a moment, waiting until the flow has pretty much receded away from them, giving them some space. "Rob.... do you think... would it be alright if I didn't come with you Saturday?"

[Hammer Sister]

"You agreed to come though?" Rob asks, confused. "It's OK if you've changed your mind; I'm sure I can handle Dr Harrisberg solo. But I'd like you there with me if possible, just in case. Is there... something wrong?"

[yamikuronue]

She  hangs her head. "I.... I'm not certain but... it may be... dangerous, if I come."

[Hammer Sister]

"I don't understand..."
