You have all been called via varying means and driven by taxi to the home of Monty Opitimus, renowned traveller, entrepreneur and man of the people. You all are ushered into his home by his servants to gasps and shrieks of horror. You all have met him through varying means, invited to his parties, met him when he's visited the poor or even befriended him through other means. By extension through knowing him you've all met eachother once or twice at his gatherings as he tends to invite many of his acquaintances.

His home is a large mansion on the outskirts of Saffron City and is atop a hilltop. It is candlelit and electricity isn't used, the man preferred to use candles and to cook via other means. His butlers and maids are dressed as of their status with their own pokemon small and helper-type pokemon such as an Aipom. As you have all been here before you are all familiar with the place.

He has been found dead in his study, where you are all currently gathered with a pagan idol in his hands, no sign of wounds or any damage to his body, it is as if he just died there.

Jessica was...Baffled. Distressed and saddened, as well, but also baffled. She suppose a disease could've done him in, though even the faster ones have symptoms, diseases, and signs on the body of illness. A heart attack, maybe, but she wasn't a cardiologist; he'd have to be opened up to check for that, and she certainly wasn't going to perform an autopsy anytime soon.

The medical researcher had been one of the last on the scene, having waited to respond after finishing up her work. She had arrived in her scrubs - a pastel green with stylized pikachu heads on it - though she removed her scrubs in guest room before entering the study. They were currently draped over her shoulder, and her arms were folded over her chest, a frown on her features as she tried to determine what the best course of action would be. Besides informing the police, of course; she assumed his servants had already done that.

Arthur Williams had not bothered to take off his coat or shoes. He was now standing in a room with his dead friend, his living friends, in a wide hat, an ulster and shoes that had seen better days, gnawing on a pipe he dared not light for fear of dropping ash into the scene. He had been taking a look at the study to see if he could find anything, and had asked the servants a few questions before anyone else dropped in -- had they found the victim this way, when had this happened, did they know the object in his hand. Now he was pacing up and down, taking a close look at the servants. He would have to talk to them individually later, and it was a good idea to get an impression of them first.

"Did you notice anything unusual recently?"

The head butler looks at you all. "I apologize for all of this." He seems surprisingly calm and has a Simipour beside him. "However milord has left a message to you all.. Do you wish to hear it?" He asked them. He is an elderly gentleman in his mid 60's with a handlebar moustache and no beard. His hair is tied back with a silken ribbon and goes down to his shoulders. His outfit is impeccable with no sign of dirt or crease. "Also in case you all have forgotten I am Bartholomew, the head of staff and chief butler of this home."

Felicia stands to the side, leaning against a chair. Sure, you could call Monty a friend- though in her line of work you tended to not really have those. That idol though, looks like it may be of some value. She watches as the others mill around the room asking questions- any of them could have killed Monty just as well... that Nurse, for instance, could easily have access to drugs that would kill someone and make it look like something natural had happened. Upon hearing that the head butler has a message, Felicia perks up.

"Sure thing, Barty," she says. "Let's hear what he wanted us all to know."

Mal, in his lightly drunken state slurs, "Oh my Monty," He approaches the body, "What have you gotten yourself into now, my friend?" Mal closes his friends eyes before picking up the Idol. "And what have we here?" Mal inspects the small statue before replacing it on the group upon hearing Bartholomew's words.

"A message? So, he planned for this to happen. Ugh, things were much simpler in the military." Mal stands up to follow Bartholomew, "drunkenly" running into a few things as he goes, inspecting the place.

Well this was not how I expected the night to go, here I was hoping for some simple business, a nice chat and a good drink much like it turned out most of the other times I've been here. Looks like someone didn't appreciate where good old Morty's hands where touching and got knocked off because of it, the man really did have his fingers in to many pies at the best of times. Still that Idol is looking rather strange, pagan origin of some sort, but anything more would require getting closer, and from how good old Morty is looking right now its probably best to give that hing a wide berth, though not before giving it a good eyeball Occult:[result]17&4:3:6,3d6,4,17&3d6+4[/result]

Diana doesn't move far into the room, hanging towards the back of the group so she can have a more encompassing view, better to see the room and how everyone is going to react, she knows most of this lot by face, none of the crowd is particularly unknown to her, though Arthur is really the only one she's dealt with any degree of regularity, information is the lifeline of his work after all.

"Let's here this message then, Morty's got a good head on his shoulders, if its something he want's us to here, then it will be something that will be worth hearing"

Bartholomew read it aloud. "You, whom have been gathered here are among my many friends. However those brought here I'd dare consider some of my most trusted. You all come from different backgrounds and differing roles in society.. As your friend and as my dying wish, for I know I do not have long left, I wish for you all to continue my work here in Saffron. There is something dark lurking in Kanto that would seek to destroy it from the inside out. The only ones you can trust are eachother." He puts the letter on the desk. "I'm afraid the letter ends there. Master had all but locked himself away the passed few days, you see this all started a month ago when he found that idol in his hands there." It didn't look like anything human or known pokemon to anyone who looked upon it.

Can only trust each other? What was the man thinking? Felicia muses, looking around at the gathered individuals. If Monty thought that a cryptic letter would be enough to make her trust these strangers...well then he was way off. The only one she could remotely trust, other than herself, would probably be that detective fellow. She was sure she'd seen him around a few times while she was working, but otherwise... She'd have to be a few steps ahead of the game in order to ensure she would figure this out. Trust would be a secondary goal.

Booker, was, quite frankly, rather surprised and dismayed by this turn of events. He'd known Monty for several years, having done some interviews with him for the Herald, and the man had always seemed to be in quite good health. This news had struck him quite hard, and combined with that last letter of Monty's, had almost left him reeling.

"Hmm..."

((Blergh, trying to get back to steam for this kinda thing. And I'm a 'brevity is a virtue' kinda guy a lot of the time, so yanno)
