[Falaah] * walks out into the hallway shortly after Eliana pokes her head out. She's in the room on the otherside of the Doctor's] * Eliana steps out, tucking some dark hair behind one ear. She nods to Falaah. [Falaah] looks slightly startled for a moment and then nods back. "Hello again." She then walks past you towards the lounge. * Eliana almost absent-mindedly retrieves her purse and checks its contents before heading over to the cabin next door... the good doctor's, in fact. She knocks: not too loud or fast. [No answer for a minute] [No answer for a second. Memphis walks by down the hallway, he gives you a polite nod.] * Eliana nods back to him. She knocks again, slightly more insistently. [No answer for one more minute, Memphis slips into his room, which is two doors down. Reaction?] * Eliana shakes her head. "Really, Mr. Henrick, is it too much to ask for a chat?" she sighs. (Hearing check -8 :P) (Hahaha! Yes.) [You hear a snap and then a rather loud thud from the room.] * Eliana blinks, then starts banging on the door. "Open up!" She tries just opening the thing. [The door opens and you see the doctor collapsed on the ground, his luggage scattered around him. The window is open.] * Eliana looks around. Anyone else? [YOu hear memphis's door openning. No one else in the room.] * Eliana looks over to the diplomat. "Memphis! The doctor- I think he's dead!" [Memphis] Steps out and looks at you, puzzled for a moment "Oh? He then quickly pokes his head into the room. * Eliana moves aside so he can get a look. [Eliana is moving to the side as Memphis looks into the Doctor's room. Angel can't see what they are looking at from here.] * Angel glances quickly behind her as she moves toward the source of the noise, taking cover behind partially open doors and anything else available as she goes. [Memphis rushes in and Eliana can see him checking for a pulse. Angel has a fairly easy time hiding behind his open door.] * Angel peers into the room * Eliana doesn't seem to notice Angel at all, intent on the contents of the room. "Is he all right?" [Angel sees Memphis next to a man on the floor in a room that looks searched] [Memphis] Yes.. he still has a pulse. [A conductor leaves his room and rushes down the hallway] Is something wrong? * Eliana sighs with relief. "Thank God. When I heard that snap, I just..." She trails off. * Angel puts away what she's holding and steps into the room. "Don't move anything." * Eliana looks over at the conductor and points in the room. "He was attacked." [Shiori sees a gathering of people by the Doctor's room. Though she prolly doesn't know it's his room.] * Angel bends over the man (does she recognize him?) and checks to see if he's alive and stable. [Memphis stands up and looks around the room] [Angel recognizes the doctor now that she's closer. He seems to be alive, but at very least out cold.] [Conductor] Oh my god! Who attacked him? Mr. Ahmed, Eliana, where were you when this happened? (Cecilia is looking out the doorway with Shiori, so I think I should be here.) * Shiori opens the door more fully and moves out towards the gathering people, seeing as how there's no danger now. Probably. * Angel awaits the answers as she begins looking around the room, shooing people out so nothing is disturbed. * Shiori peeks into the room. * Eliana takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "I was thinking that perhaps I could chat with the doctor; it's not often I meet someone from Germany, and I thought that he might have had enough time alone..." She stops, realizing she's babbling, then starts again. "And I heard a sharp snap from inside." Followed by a thud. That's when I tried the door, and it opened. [Memphis frowns as he leaves] "No I was in my room. When I came out Eliana was standing there with the door open, but I her story sounds right to me." 2d6-5 * Eliana nods to Memphis. ( He missed with his clip-on tie and cut his throat :P ) (Gasp!) * Cecilia follows Shiori. [Conductor to Angel] Who are you ma'am? I think this may have to be a matter for the police. (Actually, everyone to the main channel) I'm Angel Crosse, and there is a dangerous thief on board this train. There's no time to wait for the police.
