New Avalon

[accalia]

Sam considers for a moment about going through the garbage, but the life of a PI is never glamorous and Sam spills the contents on the floor for a quick going over, then he plans on visiting the nearest church, because well, the note did say to have faith... then he's going back to the library to see if he can find out anything about Faith as a name.

The trash didn't yield any more answers other than 'What had Rob eaten before his demise' which hadn't been spectacular. Thankfully, there was little doubt that Rob would complain about a bit of mess in the apartment. As far as churches, the closest one was Church of the Golden Path. They were mostly harmless, though had the weird idea that the Welcomed were of divine birth and were miracles upon the world. They also somewhat deified the City itself, saying that they were brought here to pray for the world, that more would know the blessings of New Avalon.

Sam sighed as he approached the church.... was this really a good idea.... there had to be a different option.... "Sam.... have faith... what the bleep does that mean?" he wonders out loud, once again self censoring his words.

The girl skulks about in the churchyard, hesitating, not sure she wants to enter the building. She can see the trail goes back out again, so clearly the woman isn't still inside. But if she goes in, the light might tell her what the woman was doing. But God might just strike her dead if she goes inside. Well, she could try praying. But she doesn't really repent of anything she did, so what's the point? Her mood sours as she finds a seat on a gravestone, watching a visitor approach the building, Crys safely nestled into her pocket.

[CalamityJade]

Crys seemed to be taking a nap...or something like that. It was hard to tell if Crys slept or powered down or....whatever it is it did when not actively doing something. T DID still get the feeling that something was there, though it was more like when she was in that abandoned warehouse than when she was worried someone was following her.

The church seemed fairly inviting, though no one was going in or out of it right now. Odd, given that even in the middle of the day, there were usually one or two people mulling about.

[accalia]

Sam walks up to the threshold of the church, and raises a hand to touch the uprights with a single finger. "Am I to find faith here, or is it Faith i am to find? and how will I know when i have found what i seek if i don't even know what it is i seek" he asks the threshold and the building beyond. Sam seems pretty unconcerned about talking to a building, like it's no big deal really.

[yamikuronue]

Oh great, more crazy, thinks T, watching the stranger approach. I won't be able to chase her down at work. I could maybe find out where she lives, but I'll have to wait until she's off work. I could stalk this place, in case she comes back?

[accalia]

Sam shakes his head and turns to walk away once more. maybe he can find something in the back issue office at the library.

"Damnit McCarthey, you give me a lead, then you turn out to be dead, then you leave a note in your closet with my name on it? What the bleep is up with that?"

[yamikuronue]

McCarthy? Isn't that--

The girl's feet hit the ground before she's quite aware what she's doing as she trots after Sam. This is dumb, she realizes, falling a little further behind and trying to look casual.

[CalamityJade]

~Do you hear that?~ And there's Crys. Though there's probably something funny about the idea of Crys hearing anything that T couldn't.

Well, to be fair, there's no reason for Sam to think that Rob made that note. It had been in his pocket and without a sample of his handwriting, it was hard to peg as definitely his.

Sam notices he has a tail easily enough, though he loses sense of it quickly. Either they lost interest, or got a lot better at being unobserved..... hmm.... it's about that time of day... Yeah. that might work.

Sam stops at a cafe and orders two cups of tea and scones. He takes a seat on one of outside tables and arranges the items for two to sit and drink. He sits on the inside table, trapped by the nearby tables, while the unoccupied seat is to the street, where one could flee from the table before Sam could follow.

Then Sam waits, sipping his tea. Maybe his tail will get curious enough to show themselves.

[yamikuronue]

~Hear what?~ asks T, only half paying attention. What the heck is he doing?

[CalamityJade]

~There's .... um. Huh...There's a sound. I think it's coming from that person you're following?~ There's a slight popping sound before T can make out...humming? It's faint but distinct from the sounds around her and definitely coming from the direction Sam had gone in.

[accalia]

Sam continues to wait patiently, though he has to pause in his tea drinking to shoo off someone who had come up to try and take the unoccupied chair for a different table, explaining that he was waiting for someone and they would need the chair momentarily.

[yamikuronue]

~Humming...?~

T scowls, leaning against the building opposite in the shade as she studies Sam.
