[Tera Inogo]

Tera, not yet having reached the level of patience that T'Sal has, simply opens the door and walks in.

[Ariana Danacia]

Ariana simply followed Tera.

Although Ariana understands that it is polite to wait, they are actually on a clock and need to move on.

((OOC: @T'Sal: the applicable attribute should be the Vision attribute, however you are trying to do something that is part of Force Vision which isn't a Force power you have. Check: denied

@Ariana: That last line seems a bit impatient, is that just being IC or is that directed at me?))

Walking into the office, Tera and Ariana immediately notice the strange contrast of the room. It was like there were actually two rooms, one belonging to a disorganised and messy person. The other to a tidy and orderly person.

There was only one person in the office though. A middle aged man with messy hair and a neat coverall. The man was frantically pacing around, his eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't even noticed the Jedi barging in.

"What did he do? Why would they want to speak to me?" The man mumbled, seemingly to himself. He sounded panicked. He froze when he saw the Jedi.

Then something about the man changed. He stood up straight, a dignified look on his face.

"Ah, you must be the Jedi. I'm quite honoured." The man spoke with a completely different voice, well-spoken, confident. "I must say I didn't expect you so soon. Tell me, what did you think of my work?"

Smiling the man waited for the Jedi to respond.

[Chriz]

((OOC: Although we are having a hard time deciding what to do with the little information we have all the time the impatience was totally IC. They are on a murder investigation, expecting new attacks to happen.))

[Tera Inogo]

Tera looks the man over, and notices his change in demeanour. Somehow, she has a strong feeling that he is the killer.

"Did you mean the people you killed?...", she looks the man in the eye as she circles around him a bit such that she and Ariana are at a ninety degree angle. Should he suddenly decide to run for it, he would simply be caught between Ariana and Tera.

"Because I think that was both sloppy and unimaginative.", she tries to bait the man, to get him to admit that it wasn't sloppy and unimaginative.

[Dragonmaster352]

The man smiled at Tera.

"You clearly lack the refined taste to appreciate the beauty of my work. How beauty cuts down the ugly. The natural order of things were the strong destroy the weak."

He paused, then his face suddenly contorted. He seemed in pain as he grabbed his head.

"Please help me." He called out, his voice sounded as it did first. "Please make him stop."

The desperation in his voice was obvious, tears started to flow down his cheeks.

Then he was composed again. He cleared his throat, his voice had changed again.

"My apologies. Now as I was saying, I simply removed those who wished to remove such perfection in favour of inferior weeds. Surely a Jedi would agree with such activities?"

[Tera Inogo]

Tera looks the man over.

A smile creeps on her face, though not one of joy. This is a sinister smile, the smile of someone who knows how to kill, and has enjoyed killing. Her eyes twinkle from under her hood, and her expression is greatly unusual for a Jedi — clearly, she has not fully shaken of her past.

"You are talking to the wrong Jedi.", she replies clearly shrugging off her thoughts, "I once thought as you do, but you are too late to talk to her, I am someone else now."

"Someone who will protect the weak against the likes of you!", she says as she rushes the man, intent on knocking him out.

((OOC: @ST: Not sure if you want a check with this. If so, let me know what kind of check you want me to make (note that all Jedi have unarmed combat training as part of the trained combatant style).))

[Ariana Danacia]

Ariana steps back. Making sure the door is blocked by her body.

"You are under arrest on the suspicion of murder. " Ariana calmly stated, holding one claw on her lightsaber.

[T'Sal]

After Ariana went into the room T'sal also follows. T'sal looks quite surprised to the room.
As he starts to talks it is clear that he needs help. She quickly grabs her recorder out of her bag and starts to record the ongoing conservation.

((OOC: You are quite fast with posting. Please let me know how much T'sal could record.))

[T'Sal]

((OOC: Are we going to continue....))

[Dragonmaster352]

((OOC: @T'sal: please don't rush me.

The reason my last post came quite fast was because at the writ-a-ton I was told that the dialogue I was doing didn't require a lot of actions and such. For that reason I sped up. I am tempted to just say T'sal was too late to record anything, however in this case I will be lenient.))

Rushing to record the conversation, T'sal manages to catch about half the conversation.

As Ariana blocked the door, Tera rushed the man. He was no match for her and he went down with a single punch. His head hit the floor and he was nocked out cold.

They called it in and soon the Unity City police arrived. As their suspect was still unconscious an ambulance took him to the hospital under guard. The three jedi oversaw the police processing everything, taking statements from the other employees, etc. About halfway through the process Inspector Dekok arrived. As the office was being searched a few gardening tools with blood on them were found. While a DNA match still had to be made with the victims, it seemed likely they had caught the killer. As the police started to finish up, the jedi were called in to Master Leithor.

((OOC: We're basically done now. I apologise for the infrequent posting and the puzzles at the start, which weren't the cool thing I thought they were. All that is left now is The Leithor Talk_TM.))

[Tera Inogo]

((OOC: I don't think T'sals player meant it personally — there are simply 2 weeks of time in between their last post and their reminder. That is not an unreasonable waiting period before a gentle reminder (The reminder might have been phrased better, but the text-only medium of the forum drops the friendly intonation like it's a brick).))

For the most part Tera's overseeing of police activities boils down to her standing silently at the edge of the room, looking at the police doing their work. She was glad that master Leithor called them back, as she was done with the situation.

Tera joins the other two Jedi in going back to the Jedi Temple and seeking out Master Leithor.

[T'Sal]

((OOC: Like Brend says, it was a reminder))

T'sal helps as good as she can with the police in rounding things up. After the call of master Leithor, she grabs her stuff and orders transport to the Jedi temple.

[Ariana Danacia]

The Police was more than capable to finish sifting through the evidence.

Ariana joined the other Jedi and traveled to Master Leithor for their debriefing.

[Master Leithor]

((OOC: And now it's time for:

THE LEITHOR TALK_TM))

As the three Jedi entered Master Leithors office he was using a computer terminal, apparently reading something over. He gestured the three to take a seat without looking up from the terminal. After a few moments he finally looked away from his terminal and at the three.

"Well this seems to have been quite the ordeal." Master Leithor started. "The Unity City Police says you greatly helped with their investigation. Things were greatly sped up by how well you handled the crime scene. The evidence is still being examined but it does seem that you caught the killer."

"Which of you rendered him unconscious?"

[Tera Inogo]

Tera looked around a bit self-conscious.

"That would be me, master."

[Ariana Danacia]

Ariana stays quiet and waits to hear where Master Leithor is going with this line of questioning.

[T'Sal]

T'sal has a lot to tell master Leithor, but she waits. She does not want to interrupt as Tera answered his question.

[Master Leithor]

Master Leithor nodded. "Yes, you did."

A long pause, then he spoke again.

"He has a serious concussion, according to the hospital. They also said he has a Dissociative Identity Disorder, a split personality."

Another pause, he looked at each of the three jedi. Then he asked them all a question.

"Did he, at any point, give you any indication he was mentally unstable?"

[Tera Inogo]

"Yes master, he did.

He was boasting about how he killed those people, and how his work was beautiful. He was clearly a danger to others."

[T'Sal]

"Yes, he was unstable. His one personality seemed to be really scared and in panic while his other personality was calm and composed and talking about the beauty of killing."

[Master Leithor]

"And when exactly did he start acting aggressive?" Master Leithor asked, calmly.

He curiously looked at Tera.

[Tera Inogo]

"When he started killing people, master.", she answers honestly.

Tera did not seem to get the implied lesson, but her tone made it clear that she did not act out of malice. She is truly convinced that he was acting aggresively.

[Ariana Danacia]

Ariana nodded, approving what Tera said. She could not make it any clearer.

[T'Sal]

T'sal understands that there seems to be a misinterpretation. The murderer was not aggressive in the office, but he still was a dangerous man. She sights and let's master Leithor handle the situation.
