Character Name: Ivan Demchak<br/>Location: The Laughing Dragon<br/>Tagging: Everyone<br/><br/>"That is a good point, Sam. Threnody, in your case, we could say that the family has hired you, because we are interested in trying to make contact with her spirit. In my case, I think my accent will give me away... so I will be claiming to being a freelance journalist, who just so happened to get a hot scoop." He hmm'd, and looked around at everyone.<br/><br/>"Well, I will admit, this will be the first time I am doing field work, so I will apologize if I am not entirely well versed in this. Though I was in the top five of my class for everything. Speaking of which, Richard, I believe the woman you work for should have gotten a package together for me..? Any chance you have it? I hope we won't need it, but it's better to be prepared than sorry." He was referring to the pistol and license to possess said weapon.<br/><br/>"Mi, I would like you to partner up with Macy. Try to canvass the town, get a bead on people. Your talent at reading people obviously surpasses my own; I can't learn in the class room what you can do intuitively, and your ability to read people may help us find out if anybody here is responsible for it."<br/><br/>"Sam, why don't you team up with me? Partnering up is the best way to stay safe, the buddy system, you know? You could be my assistant, another journalist whom I am showing the ropes.  Trust me when I say, I know how to handle the difficult questions." Because Ukrainian police are typically trained as interrogators as a matter of course, though he does not come right out and say that.<br/><br/>"Threnody, Rose, I'd also like you to team up and canvas the area. Look for suspicious places, suspicious people; if neither are you are good at prying information out of people, then maybe just do some recon for us?"<br/><br/>"Richard, I know you are here to assess us, but I would like to ask your assistance in a small matter. Since we won't have a reliable means of communicating via phones, it seems to me that we will need to simply have to check in periodically with someone, and perhaps leave notes. The problem, of course, is making sure said notes are not compromised in any way. We don't want to tip our hand to anyone, nor do we want anyone onto us to be able to lure us into a trap with a false note.  I am asking you to do this, because otherwise, I'll have to leave two behind here, and that lessens our efficiency as a group. Plus, I know I can trust you with such an important task."<br/><br/>"Well, that's ultimately the plan I have. We split the place up into half; me and Sam cover one half, Mi and Macy the other. Threnody, Rose, you'd be mostly be investigating whatever passes for hot spots in the town; probably the local market, checking along the perimeter of the town. Don't go wandering off into the forests yet, that would be stage two."<br/><br/>"If their's any questions, concerns, or someone sees a gaping hole that needs to be patched up, now is the time for us to do that. Well, anyone..?" Though he seemed fairly confident, and held himself in that way, Mi's talents, if put to use on him, would betray some anxiety. Which makes sense, since this is the first time he's actually putting what he's studied into practice, and under entirely strange circumstances.
