There's a bit of a delay, then from the other side of the door:

You hear clattering inside and a bit of a commotion.

Dirk wrote:Just open the door sir, it's for your own safety.

By the sounds of the activity inside, you suspect he's not behind the door any more.

Dirk wrote:Don't suppose either of you have a key?

I'll knock.

It takes substantially less than the horse you apply, and the door splits vertically down the middle. Inside you see the cetral corridor of a fairly grubby and very identikit Suburbia apartment. Clattering is and hysterical shouting is coming from the door at the other end of the short corridor.

I shall enter and head towards the clamouring.

I wonder if he has connections to those gangers that Grimmie spooked? I bet he thinks we're coming to arrest him.

Briony is in bed, backed to the wall and wide-eyed with terror. Mauro is half out of the window, also looking pretty scared.

He asks panickily.

I thought windows didn't open.

Shh. It's not important, it's for cinematic effect.

Did I say that somewhere?

iirc one of the previous buildings we went to had windows that didn't open. I figured it was like some real world buildings where the higher up windows didn't open but the ground level ones did. Or, you know, it could just be that this is a different building, so has different windows

Get dressed and I shall explain.

Erm, do you want me to leave the room whilst you change?

Fix'd

I think Roman's either gone insane, or has forgotten how to use quote tags.

Posting from mobile - trick to put tags in!

I'd say most windows don't open - the weather's always shit on Mort so there's no need. However, occasionally there'll be a fire exit or something and the window will open onto that. Mort architecture is described as having lots of catwalks and fire escapes and things, as well as larger suspended walkways. Anyway, back to the point.

We need to know everything about her and your relationship with her. Have you found anything incriminating at work recently, for example.

I'll also do a lil Detect roll, just cos.

There's an Oyster on a table on the other side of the room, sitting on top of a few files.

Briony wrote:Erm, okay. Can I meet you somewhere? I'd rather not do it here.
