Investigation Club Meeting, After classes, On the roof of the Trooper Station

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You all made it without getting arrested. Congratulations," Bruce said. They were standing on the roof of the Trooper Station, after all. Depending on how they got up here, it was possible that they had either committed a crime or annoyed Sam Vimes, which was nearly the same thing. "If you want, you can consider this group to be a think tank intent on looking into some of Fandom's more notable quirks. I also intend to have us do some more mundane investigations including, if the opportunity arises, some crime scene visits courtesy of our club sponsor, Sherlock Holmes. You may know him from class or by reputation. Either way, you know what you're in for if we do get to visit a crime scene."

"Let's keep it relatively light for this week. I have some specific ideas in mind for what I want this group to do before the end of the semester. I want some input into what you might want to do or experience," Bruce said. "Whether that's a specific mystery you want to look into, or just a general focus you want the club to take, speak up."

On a roof! If you have an icon for that. I don't. Sad.

(Dammit, somewhere I've got to have an icon of the scene where Hank, dressed as Batman, jumps off a roof while holding an umbrella. I just don't have it uploaded to the account.)

Introduce yourself and/or say what kind of things you want to investigate or just talk to people. Keeping it light and loose today!

Ariel was mostly just here because investigating was kind of like exploring, and she'd had so much fun with it in class that a club for it sounded extra fun.

"I'm really looking forward to investigating anything," she shared. "I mean, not knowing what you're getting into is part of the fun, right?"

Re: Mingling

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"More or less," Bruce said. "And there is a chance that this won't just be hard work and digging for answers and that it could possibly be fun."

He admitted it somewhat begrudgingly, but he DID admit it.

Re: Mingling

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

And that begrudging admission was one of the most gratifying things Ariel could have heard. Her grin grew just a little wider.

"He says," she said, "as if hard work and digging for answers couldn't be fun, either."

"William Murdoch," he introduced himself. "I'm interested in learning about modern investigative techniques, especially forensics."

Re: Mingling

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure we could take over some lab space to do some hands on learning," Bruce said. "I'll get that set up as soon as I can."

"I'd like to investigate... MYSTERIES!!!"

Hank was so very specific like that.

Re: Mingling

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"What kind of mysteries?" Bruce asked.

Re: Mingling

[i-am-the-rat.livejournal.com]

"You know, mysteries," Hank said. "Unexplained things, like ghosts and supervillains and stuff!"

Re: Mingling

Momoko raised hand, smiling. "Momoko Akatsutsumi, senior. I'm a Hero of Justice, so I am used to investigating all kinds of things. I've taken a lot of classes about investigation, forensics, and law."

Re: Mingling

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You get into heavy investigation, too?" Bruce asked. "You really are interested in all aspects of being a... Hero of Justice."

He was never going to get used to that title.

Re: Mingling

[heromaniac]

She will not change it to Vengeance just to please you, Bruce.

"Of course!" Momoko nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "I want to be the best! If I'm not, then I can't help and protect people who need me."



[ooc: Ad for Dark Knight was just on as I typed 'Vengeance'!! Eerie!]

"Dana Scully, sophomore, and... I want to be an FBI agent. But I'm up for investigating anything. The history of the island, how magic works, some of the stranger biology." She shrugged, then smiled. "And I've been into Special Collections, and I'd go in again, but not alone."

Re: Mingling

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I'm hoping to avoid using Special Collections for any investigations. It might have the answers, but we need to establish the proper procedures for how to tackle an impossible mystery when something like that isn't available," Bruce said. "But I'm confident we can pull that off."

Re: Mingling

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Now we just need to establish procedures without becoming bureaucrats," Scully teased lightly. "Or reports. Well. Those are useful. But not the main point, after all."

Especially since she always ended up editing Mulder's for sanity.

Talk to Sherlock

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Who is undoubtedly THRILLED to be here.

Re: Talk to Sherlock

Exceedingly thrilled. You could tell by the way he was glued to his phone.

There was a group of kids on the roof having a so-called investigation club meeting. If that wasn't a good excuse to get out of doing some paperwork, Angua didn't know what was.

Besides, it was more interesting that listening to Vimes' grumbling about it.

Coffee in hand, she sidled up beside Holmes and had to ask, "Whose idea was it to have it up on the roof? The kids because they thought they were being creative, or you because hoped one of them might fall?"

Re: Talk to Sherlock

[3patchproblem.livejournal.com]

"The fall wouldn't even kill them," Sherlock replied, only glancing up once.

I really don't want to go to work today. Bleh.

ETA: So I didn't and took allergy meds instead! I think I'm awake now.
