Jul 17 22:40:27 * Molly and Varick ride in the coach through the streets of Fischler as Claudia rides beside Morgan. She is alert and watchful. The streets are quite busy as they pass through Jul 17 22:42:34 * Morgan looks around, watching the people Jul 17 22:44:20 * Molly is now known as Claudia Jul 17 22:44:40 What trouble are you expecting in this town? Jul 17 22:44:51 * Morgan shrugs Jul 17 22:45:58 who can tell Jul 17 22:48:08 Is your cousin likely to be a danger still? Jul 17 22:48:21 * Morgan shrugs Jul 17 22:48:39 her mind is like a bag of cats, who knows what she's going to do Jul 17 22:53:56 So be prepared for the worst and hope for the best Jul 17 22:54:03 * Morgan nods Jul 17 22:54:11 thats usually the best option Jul 17 22:56:13 And the other people in the household? Jul 17 22:56:26 what about them? Jul 17 22:59:20 Are they a risk? Jul 17 22:59:52 I wouldn't have thought so, but I've been wrong before Jul 17 23:02:40 * Claudia nods. Up ahead, two men are arguing, a tipped over cart between them. Folders and paperwork is scattered on the path Jul 17 23:04:45 * Morgan looks them over Jul 17 23:07:24 **they both look fairly smart** 1: Well I don't see why we couldn't just burn them, he's dead anyway! 2: *he splutters* You cant just BURN papers like this! They are vital legal documents! Jul 17 23:08:59 * Claudia watches them Jul 17 23:11:36 **she speaks quietly** bloody idiots Jul 17 23:11:48 * Morgan nods slightly, watching the men Jul 17 23:17:08 1: *he sighs, roughly shoving the folders back in. The second is more gentle as he gathers various items. Morgan quickly catches a flash of an envelope sealed with unusual yet familiar orange wax Jul 17 23:20:13 * Morgan tries to think where he's seen it Jul 17 23:22:59 **Schultz, the bad lawyer from Seeufer used it to tip off Dreschler (the korertig family lawyer in Fischler) that "curtis jaeger" was trying to screw sudlachenburg. There was a similar seal on a letter the nice judge at varicks adaption dripped0and is 0000and on 0min 00min and 0the 0to a 0year 00million 0000min 0min 0months a0a. They are stamped with a phoenix Jul 17 23:25:00 ((interwebz test)) Jul 17 23:25:13 * Morgan frowns briefly Jul 17 23:28:24 **they get the cart upright and refilled, still moaning at each other Jul 17 23:28:48 * Morgan slides down from the horse, walking towards the men Jul 17 23:30:22 1: where is this other lawyer, anyway? Jul 17 23:31:48 gentlemen... Jul 17 23:35:29 *2 looks him over politely but suspiciously. 1 looks relieved* 1: Ah here is our man! Now, if we can just have our money we'll be on our way Jul 17 23:37:02 * Morgan looks over the paperwork Jul 17 23:37:08 a little haphazard isn't it? Jul 17 23:41:08 2: *he looks a little awkward. He's a bit posh and uptight* we were in a rush, the letter said it was urgent to bring them over Jul 17 23:43:14 * Morgan nods Jul 17 23:45:12 You have an account for the money? Jul 17 23:46:39 1: For the sake of five guilders? Jul 17 23:46:52 * Morgan grins before chuckling Jul 17 23:47:32 force of habit... a moment, please Jul 17 23:47:42 * Morgan walks back to the horse to fetch the money Jul 17 23:49:21 * Claudia watches impassively Jul 17 23:51:20 * Morgan walks back to the men, handing over the money Jul 17 23:56:29 1: *he takes it with a grateful nod* to the tavern! 2:*he looks unsure. He's obviously not confident around authority* Uhhh should we have a receipt, or something? Jul 17 23:57:25 discretion is at the core of our dealings... if it makes you feel better, I'll have my secretary draft a receipt and have it sent to you Jul 17 23:59:11 2: *he looks relieved* yes, thank you. Good day Jul 17 23:59:35 * Morgan nods to the two men Jul 18 00:00:08 **the cart is around 4ft high, 4 long, 3 wide. It would probably squeeze into the coach Jul 18 00:00:33 * Morgan wheels it to the coach, giving thought to just unloading it into the coach Jul 18 00:02:52 **Molly opens the door for him** Is everything well, liebling Jul 18 00:03:21 * Morgan nods Jul 18 00:03:27 would you mind sharing with this lot? Jul 18 00:07:15 *she looks a little amused* as you wish, liebes herz Jul 18 00:07:35 V: *he looks interested* what is it? Jul 18 00:07:39 * Morgan transfers the papers into the coach Jul 18 00:07:43 just some reading for me Jul 18 00:08:18 **there is a lot of it. Molly laughs, piling it up on the seats Jul 18 00:10:59 M: where on Theah has it come from?! Jul 18 00:11:29 I've just gotten it from a couple of gentlemen...  Jul 18 00:14:10 M: *she bites her lower lip* alright Jul 18 00:17:03 I've a feeling it'll make for some interesting reading Jul 18 00:17:14 * Morgan piles the papers inside Jul 18 00:18:07 V: *he helps excitedly. He lifts a heavy folder to the top, then pauses* This one says Eldreich! Jul 18 00:18:45 M: *her eyes widen and she pales a little, looking at Morgan, silent* Jul 18 00:19:05 * Morgan nods Jul 18 00:19:39 Its a lot of your family's old paperwork, nothing interesting for young boys I'm afraid Jul 18 00:19:51 V: *he looks to Morgan* oh, ok Jul 18 00:22:37 if I find anything exciting, I'll let you know, ok? Jul 18 00:23:04 M: *she puts the last of it tidy. Varick nods* Jul 18 00:23:19 excellent... lets get on then Jul 18 00:25:56 **it doesn't take that long to get to the big gates of the Eisenfursts house  Aug 05 23:20:00 **The carriage pulls in through the big gates of the Eisenfursts driveway. The house is big, built in recent decades. There are sprawling ornamental lawns, several rose gardens as they drive up to the entrance Aug 05 23:22:48 * Morgan looks the house over Aug 05 23:25:46 *it's not that grand for an Eisenfurst, but it's bigger than the Torrington estate. It would be defensible in a crisis* Aug 05 23:27:42 * Morgan nods slightly to himse Aug 05 23:29:26 The coach pulls into the yard. In a window above, Morgan spots a movement and a flash of light blonde hair Aug 05 23:33:00 **A butler approaches. He looks up at Morgan** Good day, My Lord Aug 05 23:34:18 * Morgan nods to the butler Aug 05 23:34:44 good day... Aug 05 23:38:30 **they start going about the process of a stablehand taking the horse. The butler opens the door to the coach. Aug 05 23:39:06 ((gives him chance to say anything about the files)) Aug 05 23:40:51 * Morgan glances at the files Aug 05 23:40:57 I think we'll need help moving these Aug 05 23:42:06 **the butler looks at the stacks all over the seats a moment, then looks to Morgan** very good. My Lord. Shall I have them taken to your room? Aug 05 23:42:22 * Morgan nods Aug 05 23:42:24 please Aug 05 23:46:16 **there is a bustle of servants and activity, first getting Molly and Varick out into the warm sunshine, and then hauling the masses of paperwork up into the house. Coming in the opposite direction, Alarice sweeps down into the courtyard. She is covered in expensive silks and fine jewellery, looking pristine. They, on the other hand, are dirty and travel-worn. Aug 05 23:49:00 * AndroUser is now known as Alarice Aug 05 23:50:30 * Alarice glides over to Morgan first. Even in her stance and expression the new found arrogance of her position as Grafin Seeufer is visible. She holds out her hand to Morgan Aug 05 23:50:38 Welcome, cousin Aug 05 23:51:30 * Morgan takes the hand, bowing his head slightly Aug 05 23:51:37 I see the city suits you Aug 05 23:55:06 It does. I never really belonged out in the sticks. Aug 05 23:55:58 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 05 23:57:59 * Alarice turns to Molly Aug 05 23:58:47 You must be keen to get freshened up. Your rooms are all ready. Aug 05 23:59:24 *Molly smiles vaguely, inclining her head* Aug 06 00:01:09 *Alarice looks down at the boy she believes she birthed* And Varick. Haven't you grown! *He looks a little wary, staying close to Molly, and nods* I have many presents for you later on! Aug 06 00:01:47 * Alarice looks back to Morgan as a servant passes with the last of the files Aug 06 00:02:35 Did you bring your work with you? *,She laughs, an exaggerated poshness to it* Aug 06 00:03:12 I'm always working in one way or another Aug 06 00:07:26 * Alarice laughs again Aug 06 00:07:50 Such a pity for your wife! Aug 06 00:12:01 **Molly looks briefly at Morgan* Not at all, I like to help in his work. Aug 06 00:12:32 * Alarice gives her a brief pitying look before smiling Aug 06 00:12:43 I'll show you to your rooms Aug 06 00:23:56 * Morgan nods Aug 06 00:24:07 **inside the house is cool, classically elegant rather than gaudy. She leads them up one flight of stairs. Her voice is irritating as she spends those minutes pointing out the grandeur of her father in law the Eisenfurst.  Aug 13 20:26:38 After getting them shown to their rather posh rooms, Alarice suggests Morgan goes with her for a walk to catch up Aug 13 20:27:00 as you wish Aug 13 20:35:18 * AndroUser is now known as Alarice Aug 13 20:36:17 * Alarice leads him through the beautiful house. It's cool, airy, classy. She opens the door out into a beautiful rose garden Aug 13 20:36:39 Well, Cousin, how have you been? Aug 13 20:37:13 mostly... working Aug 13 20:43:59 (Alarice) Oh? Not honeymooning? Aug 13 20:44:30 We had some time... then there was much to be done  Aug 13 20:53:07 * Alarice smiles, idly picking petals off a rose Aug 13 20:53:16 (Alarice) We wanted to go to Numa Aug 13 20:53:24 * Morgan nods Aug 13 20:53:26 many do Aug 13 20:56:56 * Alarice frowns Aug 13 20:57:22 However, we were forced to stay here Aug 13 20:57:45 such is the burden of status Aug 13 21:01:44 Hmm yes. *She roughly plucks more red petals* I received the judgement from the adoption court. Aug 13 21:02:07 * Morgan nods slightly Aug 13 21:03:24 I suppose you're happy now Aug 13 21:04:55 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 21:05:12 I don't think happy is the right word Aug 13 21:05:52 * Alarice looks at him Aug 13 21:06:08 You no longer want Varick? Aug 13 21:06:50 Thats not what I said. We're happy together, but I am not happy that it had to be done Aug 13 21:10:01 He would have been happier here Aug 13 21:10:16 I disagree Aug 13 21:13:59 * Alarice shrugs slightly Aug 13 21:14:20 What will you be doing once you leave here? Aug 13 21:15:38 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 21:15:46 I believe there are plans to sail some...  Aug 13 21:20:32 You are not settling in Koln? Aug 13 21:21:35 Koln's doing alright on its own, Innesbruck needs the work for now Aug 13 21:23:33 So you're going to live THERE?! Aug 13 21:23:55 for a time at least... I like the people there Aug 13 21:25:47 * Alarice wrinkles her nose Aug 13 21:26:17 The servants are passable, I suppose Aug 13 21:26:43 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 13 21:28:21 I would be careful of that big one who looks after the horses though. He really isn't very bright. ((Walter)) Aug 13 21:28:39 he's... simple Aug 13 21:28:53 * Alarice laughs Aug 13 21:29:01 Oh yes Aug 13 21:31:18 he's a hard worker, mind Aug 13 21:37:58 I'm not so sure Aug 13 21:38:20 **there's a noise of raised voices from inside** Aug 13 21:38:32 * Morgan sighs Aug 13 21:43:23 * Alarice looks intrigued Aug 13 21:43:29 That's my husband Aug 13 21:43:48 * Morgan moves back toward the house Aug 13 21:51:01 **the shouting continues. Alarice goes indoors Aug 13 21:51:25 * Morgan heads indoors to see whats happening  Sep 03 22:32:03 **having a loud discussion are Dreschler (the lawyer), and Isiah Fischler** Sep 03 22:32:30 * Morgan looks them over briefly, watching Sep 03 22:35:33 D: *He looks coldly angry* The failure is entirely on the part of YOUR staff! Sep 03 22:39:38 I: YOU should have sent your own staff for the job, lawyer! Sep 03 22:39:59 A: *she watches Morgan* Sep 03 22:41:00 * Morgan moves away slightly Sep 03 22:43:29 D: The files contain some crucial information about the legal and financial standings of some of Eisen's finest families! Your men lost them! Sep 03 22:46:43 I: Such important documents shouldn't have been asked for without proper explanation Sep 03 22:48:37 A: *she stands by her husband* Someone should tell his grace the Eisenfurst! Sep 03 22:49:04 *both men chorus "No!" in unison* Sep 03 22:49:30 * Morgan assumes a puzzled expression Sep 03 22:50:30 surely if they're that important, he should be told Sep 03 22:51:56 Dreschler bows to Morgan: We would not want to trouble his grace Sep 03 22:52:26 I'm sure he'd like to be woken if his house were on fire Sep 03 22:55:23 I: *he looks irritated* Perhaps Dreschler would like the honour as it is a mess of his making Sep 03 22:56:41 * Morgan looks at Dreschler Sep 03 22:59:09 D: I believe that as it was the Graf's servants who gave away decades of private information to a random man in the street, it should be he who has to inform his grace Sep 03 23:01:08 I see... a third option, perhaps? Sep 03 23:04:59 **they both look at Alarice, who looks annoyed* A: No thank you! Sep 03 23:06:22 No, that wouldn't be seemly at all... perhaps... I'd be willing to take such news to his grace... once I understood the magnitude, of course Sep 03 23:09:07 **the men grudgingly agree, waiting for Morgan's questions* Sep 03 23:09:28 whats gone missing, so on, so forth Sep 03 23:15:39 D: As I am sure you know, the lawyer Schulz from Seeufer took his own life last month. It was a long standing agreement that I would take care of his clients and their paperwork Sep 03 23:16:46 right... Sep 03 23:19:04 I: And upon receiving a letter asking for files to be taken from a storage room to Dreschler in Fischler, my staff loaded the files and took them on the ferry Sep 03 23:19:38 I'm confused as to why your staff were doing that Sep 03 23:20:17 I: the storage room is in one of my warehouses Sep 03 23:20:37 * Morgan nods Sep 03 23:20:49 now it makes sense... so these files were... Sep 03 23:23:07 D: full of private information about the noble or wealthy clients he worked for Sep 03 23:23:30 so all of Schulz's dealings with them, in essence Sep 03 23:27:19 D: All their deeds, all their Wills. Any private correspondence about land they wished to acquire... *he watches Morgan carefully* Sep 03 23:27:54 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 03 23:28:30 alright... makes sense so far... so, the staff take these files from the warehouse to... Sep 03 23:33:39 D: Fischler, and then the staff gave them away freely to a random gentleman they decided was me! Sep 03 23:35:25 I see... so, these wills, documents et cetera, are now in the possession of an unknown person or persons. I'm assuming that could be... damaging if some of it became known? Sep 03 23:37:59 D: *he looks grave* Potentially it could restart Eisen's civil war. Sep 03 23:40:56 Perhaps it would've been better to collect them from the warehouse personally... alright, I'm going to need two glasses and a bottle of blokners Sep 03 23:42:50 **a servant is sent for and returns with the items* Sep 03 23:43:10 Right then.... where is he? Sep 03 23:48:20 Servant: in his Library, my Lord Sep 03 23:48:36 * Morgan looks the two men over briefly before striding off towards the library Sep 03 23:53:45 * AndroUser is now known as Faulk Sep 03 23:55:28 * Faulk calls him in when he hears the knock. The library is beautiful, airy but full of books and intricate woodwork. Faulk sits at a huge wooden table, books everywhere upon its surface Sep 03 23:56:07 * Morgan looks around the room for a moment before bowing his head Sep 03 23:56:09 your grace Sep 03 23:56:38 * Faulk smiles, genuinely pleased to see him Sep 03 23:57:03 Ah, Visegraf Sudlachenburg, you arrive safely I see Sep 03 23:57:36 More or less on time Sep 03 23:58:46 * Faulk looks at Morgan's hands Sep 03 23:59:13 You didn't need to bring me a gift Sep 03 23:59:21 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 04 00:00:38 sadly, thats not the case... unfortunately, my trend of accompanying bad news with alcohol continues Sep 04 00:01:20 * Faulk looks concerned Sep 04 00:01:38 Your wife and your son are well, I hope? Sep 04 00:01:49 * Morgan nods Sep 04 00:01:57 aye, and excited to be here Sep 04 00:04:15 * Faulk motions to a seat at the table Sep 04 00:04:19 And you? Sep 04 00:04:42 I'm fine, busy as always Sep 04 00:05:15 * Faulk nods, waiting for Morgan to pour the drinks Sep 04 00:07:01 * Morgan does so Sep 04 00:07:06 You know of Dreschler? Sep 04 00:09:17 I do. Sep 04 00:09:59 he requested Schulz clients papers which were in your sons warehouse... some agreement that Dreschler would take over servicing Schulz clients Sep 04 00:12:10 Alright Sep 04 00:12:38 so some staff have collected it as per instructions, gone to meet Dreschler and... given it away to someone Sep 04 00:15:00 * Faulk looks displeased Sep 04 00:15:15 Why on Theah...? Sep 04 00:15:47 And until recently they were arguing over who should tell you... potentially it could restart the war, according to Dreschler Sep 04 00:22:59 * Faulk nods Sep 04 00:23:29 I would expect the scheming of some of the local nobility could do that Sep 04 00:24:36 * Morgan nods Sep 04 00:26:40 * Faulk stands Sep 04 00:27:00 The sheriff must be sent for immediately Sep 04 00:29:59 * Morgan nods Sep 04 00:30:02 I suppose so Sep 04 00:30:35 * Faulk goes to ring the servants bell Sep 04 00:30:58 of course... Sep 04 00:31:18 We must block the roads and the port until we find the documents Sep 04 00:32:06 Its just... strange Sep 04 00:34:22 * Faulk begins to pace Sep 04 00:34:25 Is it? Sep 04 00:35:18 You're wasting energy that could be put to better use when needed... think about it... who knew about it?  Sep 04 00:35:40 What are the chances someone would walk up on the street and take the papers? Sep 04 00:40:57 Only Dreschler, Isiah and the staff should have known Sep 04 00:42:13 Unusual for someone to just walk up and ask for something he doesn't know what it is Sep 04 00:46:06 * Faulk nods Sep 04 00:46:27 You suspect there is a set up? Sep 04 00:46:40 * Morgan shrugs Sep 04 00:47:01 its either that or someone just walked off with Eisens biggest secrets because he likes to read Sep 04 00:52:18 And do you suspect Dreschler, or my son? Sep 04 00:52:49 Thankfully I don't have an answer for you.  Sep 04 00:53:45 **the servant knocks** Oct 01 21:59:55 You suspect there is a set up? Oct 01 21:59:55 * Morgan shrugs Oct 01 21:59:55 its either that or someone just walked off with Eisens biggest secrets because he likes to read Oct 01 21:59:55 And do you suspect Dreschler, or my son? Oct 01 21:59:55 Thankfully I don't have an answer for you.  Oct 01 21:59:55 **the servant knocks** Oct 01 22:05:02 * AndroUser is now known as Faulk Oct 01 22:05:28 * Faulk tells the servant to enter Oct 01 22:06:24 Fetch my son and Dreschler please. *The servant leaves* Oct 01 22:06:40 * Faulk looks pensive Oct 01 22:06:55 * Morgan sighs Oct 01 22:07:49 Of course, there's a third possibility Oct 01 22:07:59 Is there? Oct 01 22:08:10 * Morgan nods Oct 01 22:08:29 it could be someone trustworthy who's shown a flaw in your security Oct 01 22:08:51 and in the willingness of those you rely on to bring you news you might not want to hear Oct 01 22:10:53 * Faulk watches him astutely Oct 01 22:11:04 Could it? Oct 01 22:11:21 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 01 22:13:40 And is that what has happened? Oct 01 22:14:30 Well... it might have ended up that way Oct 01 22:21:10 Perhaps you could tell me what happened Oct 01 22:21:44 Do you know what I did in the war? Oct 01 22:24:20 No, apart from that you were in the Objectionist Navy Oct 01 22:26:00 eventually I was mostly involved in information gathering, and old habits die hard. The servants were complaining about waiting for a man to come and pay for the papers so they could hand them over. I took that opportunity. Oct 01 22:27:57 * Faulk nods, expression unreadable Oct 01 22:28:07 And the papers are now? Oct 01 22:28:47 In my possession. For clarity, I never claimed to be the man they were waiting for Oct 01 22:30:31 Are they safe? Oct 01 22:30:41 * Morgan nods Oct 01 22:30:53 I would not put Eisen, or yourself, in danger Oct 01 22:33:45 * Faulk smiles Oct 01 22:34:16 Thank you. I have no idea why they thought such an insecure method was acceptable Oct 01 22:34:52 * Morgan shrugs Oct 01 22:35:19 That they made the assumptions they made about me is a touch more concerning to me Oct 01 22:36:14 Which were? Oct 01 22:38:07 That I was the man they were waiting for, without waiting for me to give them that information. Does that make sense? You're probably not used to needing to be introduced, but if someone doesn't know you, your confirming who you are is quite important...  Oct 01 22:41:57 * Faulk nods Oct 01 22:42:02 Very important Oct 01 22:43:44 I'd also be concerned about the way they were bickering about who should tell you Oct 01 22:44:05 Who were? Oct 01 22:44:13 Dreschler and your son Oct 01 22:44:41 Why? Oct 01 22:44:49 * Morgan smiles slightly Oct 01 22:45:16 imagine you've got to tell the most important and powerful man in the area that between them, their servants have lost Eisens secrets... Oct 01 22:46:30 Yes, I see Oct 01 22:49:20 And how would you proceed? Oct 01 22:50:42 * Morgan shrugs Oct 01 22:51:08 personally I'd tell them that you and I are going to arrange their return, use it as an object lesson perhaps Oct 01 22:52:36 A wise plan Oct 01 22:53:48 I just have a mean streak, I think Oct 01 22:55:06 Dont all of us, deep down? Oct 01 22:55:31 * Morgan shrugs Oct 01 22:57:54 maybe Oct 01 23:01:41 **the men are shown in by the servant, angry and shame faced. Both stand somewhat sullenly Oct 01 23:04:49 What, precisely, were you gentlemen thinking? Oct 01 23:05:03 *neither answers* Oct 01 23:06:20 You could have caused untold chaos in our area... *both look up*... not to mention huge economic upheaval. Who is to blame? Oct 01 23:09:03 **noone answers. Faulk looks to Morgan* what do you think Morgan? Oct 01 23:10:27 I think I want an answer. Standing like scolded children is not good enough, given the stakes Oct 01 23:11:17 D: It was the Graf's men, your Grace Oct 01 23:13:59 I: You should have sent your own! Oct 01 23:16:36 D: *he looks to faulk* with hindsight, yes. But his men sold the paperwork to a random man! Oct 01 23:18:53 And then the pair of you were bickering over who should tell his Grace Oct 01 23:21:52 I: we planned to find the papers first *he sounds sulky* Oct 01 23:22:45 I don't think 'no you tell him' back and forth contained much by way of planning.  Oct 01 23:26:32 I: Well it won't be an easy task! Oct 01 23:26:51 * Morgan sighs slightly Oct 01 23:28:23 I take it neither of you can accept that you've handled this completely incorrectly? Oct 01 23:34:19 *Dreschler looks worried, Isaiah looks disinterested* Oct 01 23:34:55 * Morgan looks at Faulk Oct 01 23:35:18 it would appear, only being a viesgraf, your son pays no heed to what I say Oct 01 23:35:27 perhaps your view would carry weight? Oct 01 23:40:45 I am just considering what percentage each will have to pay when the clients concerned start coming to me about the damage that has been done... Oct 01 23:41:04 *both men pale noticeably* Oct 01 23:41:24 that appears to have caught their attention Oct 01 23:41:45 I: We should send out searchers, summon my staff, look for witnesses Nov 12 21:50:11 it would appear, only being a viesgraf, your son pays no heed to what I say Nov 12 21:50:11 perhaps your view would carry weight? Nov 12 21:50:11 I am just considering what percentage each will have to pay when the clients concerned start coming to me about the damage that has been done... Nov 12 21:50:11 *both men pale noticeably* Nov 12 21:50:11 that appears to have caught their attention Nov 12 21:50:11 I: We should send out searchers, summon my staff, look for witnesses Nov 12 21:51:28 *isiah and Dreschler both nod, both trying to head for the door Nov 12 21:51:38 * Morgan clears his throat Nov 12 21:51:56 gentlemen, we aren't done here Nov 12 21:53:15 *neither looks impressed* Nov 12 21:54:46 I: *he looks to Faulk* Father, we are wasting valuable time Nov 12 21:56:56 *faulk waits patiently on Morgan* Nov 12 21:58:20 All your rushing around impatiently is what led to this matter. His Grace has decided to leave the matter to someone experienced in... movement of information. Nov 12 21:59:59 I: *he looks sceptical* who? Nov 12 22:00:31 * Morgan looks at Isiah Nov 12 22:00:45 someone who knows what they're doing. Nov 12 22:02:02 I: but then it won't stay secret Nov 12 22:02:46 If thats the case, thats a consequence of your own actions I'm afraid Nov 12 22:03:37 I: but Father... Nov 12 22:03:49 * AndroUser is now known as Faulk Nov 12 22:04:06 But nothing, Isiah. That is how it shall be Nov 12 22:06:00 I: *he frowns, going quiet* Nov 12 22:06:28 D: And what would you have me do, your Grace? Nov 12 22:07:51 Whatever Morgan tells you to. Nov 12 22:08:22 * Morgan looks at Dreschla Nov 12 22:08:30 The files were coming to you, correct? Nov 12 22:11:46 *he nods* Nov 12 22:12:38 very well... word will be sent when the documents are retrieved Nov 12 22:13:23 **Dreschler nods, looking slightly relieved* Nov 12 22:14:00 perhaps a more robust method of transportation next time, yes? Nov 12 22:14:17 D: yes, my Lord Nov 12 22:14:38 * Morgan nods briefly at the door Nov 12 22:17:53 *Dreschler makes his exit* Nov 12 22:19:59 *isiah waits casually leant against the desk* Nov 12 22:21:06 * Morgan looks him over Nov 12 22:22:45 *he stares back* Nov 12 22:23:04 I think, your grace, the Graf will not pay any heed to a veisgraf, so I leave him to you Nov 12 22:24:48 I: if you are to head the investigation, I will cooperate, of course. Nov 12 22:25:51 I'll need an inventory of everything that was being moved Nov 12 22:27:01 I: I do not think there is one Nov 12 22:27:35 * Morgan blinks slowly Nov 12 22:29:34 so... you don't really know whats gone missing... Nov 12 22:32:28 I: legal files, paperwork. It was all in a bit of a mess as Schulz had struggled since his secretary ran off with some man Nov 12 22:33:15 her son, I believe... I'm fairly sure they relocated somewhere... kinder Nov 12 22:35:35 I: That is why there is no inventory Nov 12 22:36:53 very well. Any clue as to how many clients? Nov 12 22:38:09 I: a hundred perhaps Nov 12 22:38:21 * Faulk looks to Morgan Nov 12 22:38:35 The man had a wife, she may know Nov 12 22:39:17 * Morgan nods Nov 12 22:39:30 I: *he laughs* Schulz was smart enough to know better than to let wives get involved in business or law Nov 12 22:41:42 * Faulk watches his son Nov 12 22:41:56 * Morgan sniffs slightly Nov 12 22:42:43 What a pity it must be for any man who picks such women as makes him perceive the whole sex as untrustworthy and devious... Nov 12 22:43:07 *Isiah flushes, looking irritated* Nov 12 22:44:10 a word of advice... I wouldn't let my cousin hear things like that...  Nov 12 22:44:52 I: My _wife_ knows her place. Nov 12 22:45:22 * Morgan smirks Nov 12 22:47:30 since you don't know anything of use, I don't think I'll be needing you any longer Nov 12 22:50:55 I: Fine! *He storms out of the room* Nov 12 22:53:55 your grace... with the greatest of respect, I don't like him very much Nov 12 22:55:26 *he looks to Morgan* my lord, in the greatest of confidence, sometimes nor do I Nov 12 22:57:14 do I recall you saying you had the montaigne man detained here? Nov 12 22:58:12 Yes, he's is the jail in town Nov 12 22:59:58 * Morgan nods Nov 12 23:00:05 I think I'll go have a talk with him Nov 12 23:00:45 * Faulk nods slowly Nov 12 23:00:53 And the files? Nov 12 23:01:45 * Morgan frowns slightly Nov 12 23:02:38 Do you trust me, your grace? Nov 12 23:06:11 * Faulk looks at him Nov 12 23:06:39 Yes. Surprisingly, I do. Nov 12 23:06:53 Surprisingly? Oh, because I'm mad... Nov 12 23:11:27 Because you have a reputation for erraticness Nov 12 23:11:57 * Morgan smiles Nov 12 23:12:18 remarkably valuable, that... Nov 12 23:20:09 In what way? Nov 12 23:20:38 you'd be amazed what I can get away with... besides, it helps if people don't know what you're likely to do Nov 12 23:23:51 I can see the advantages I suppose Nov 12 23:25:55 * Morgan nods Nov 12 23:28:22 * Faulk shows Morgan to the door Nov 12 23:28:37 I'll let you get about your business then Nov 12 23:29:14 * Morgan bows his head Nov 12 23:29:54 I'll not let you down, you have my word Nov 12 23:43:00 I'm sure you wont
