Re: The Irrumation Society (IC)
"...Vat?"
This guy was a terrible liar. Fortunately for Lin, she was not. Feigning anxiousness, Linnea started pacing in front of the man, looking deep in thought. Then she turned, waving the others over. When they were close, she whispered, quietly, "She VAS supposed to be here, no? Did you... nonono, didn't...", before looking at each of the two in turn, mumbling, and making it look like they were strategizing on how to get to Ember, down the road, and not how to know this fucker right the hell out.
Fucking do something, she mouthed at the pair, and then made a show of composing herself, before turning around and approaching the man.
She grabbed his arms and shook him gently. "You're SURE?", she asked. "Really sure? Ab-so-lute-ly positive she's not in right now?" She hoped the sudden-ness would catch him off balance. "I-I-I-I-I need her to be here, ehm, you know? I was certain she would be. My job, it's, vell, it's important, if I can't find her I-I-I might get fired-- vhat about my bills? My kids? If I lose this job, I just... I just don't know..."
While she babbled, she was pulling the man to the side, out of the corner, and slowly jostling him to the side, turning his back to her companions...
