Cast of Characters: Indiana Jones, Cammy White




Indiana Jones has posed:
Dr. Indiana Jones steps off the plane first. It was a smart-looking Lear, courtesy of the deep pockets of Cammy White's supervisors. He was dressed in his tweed suit, glasses perched on his nose. The consummate college professor, with no signs of once haviing moved the Ark of the Covenant and narrowly escaped the wrath of an angry God.
He pauses at the bottom, then looks up at the plane entrance, waiting patiently for his "bodyguard."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy is playing the part of Dr. Jones' bodyguard, with smirks and beady looks to fit the part. She even has a large pair of sunglasses and red lipstick. She has her blonde hair tied back and covered to meet the India customs but she wears a pair of black Kickass brand military slacks and boots for her...costume. She comes down the stairs after Indiana and comes up next to him, checking both ways like a good bodyguard. She then holds out The Map for Indiana, "I've circled the Bara Imambara on the map, Doctor Jones. And the Hotel. There should be a car waiting for us," she tells him helpfully and looks around for it, "I guess it's not here yet."

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy chuckles. "Welcome to India. Where late is good enough." He walks over to the gate, where a line of people are waiting to go through Customs. "I called the convention center. They are pleasantly pleased to have us, but they suggested caution. There apparently have been a few terrorist cells ramping up for Arab Spring, and they don't want us to be part of an international incident."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy hmms, "That's not a surprise but I'm sure we can dodge any trouble," she suggests, "They've not called me to tell me about any programs at Bara Imambara, but I can call ahead if you like," she tells him as she puts her metal items in a little basket and steps through the metal detector.

Indiana Jones has posed:
After clearing Customs, they step out into the brisk day, a balmy 50 degrees, and look around. Indy spots a line of cabs, and points to one of them. "Number 19. That's the one, right there." He smirks as they head in that direction, Indy making very apologetic sounds as they pass the other drivers, who regale them with tales of quick stops, small fees, and no problems at all.
He waves to the youn man sitting on the hood of the cab, and he rushes to open the trunk for their luggage. "This one seems trustworthy."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy nods to what Indy says and wheels Indy's bigass luggage over to the cab, then tilts her head, eyeing the tiny little cab driver as he climbs off the hood, "Lil help?" she asks. The kid opens the door for Indiana and walks around to get in to drive, then pops the trunk helpfully. "Nice," Cammy mutters. She tosses the luggage into the trunk with a frump and a thump, then flops the trunk closed with a bang. "American? Ahh! Where to?" he asks with a suspicious grin, "I speak very well English." Cammy gets into the cab so she can eye this guy some more.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy chuckles as he gets in, and the cab driver pulls away.
"Hullo, Indy!" the driver says with a wide smile, his pidgin English suddenly much improved. "I am honored to meet you. Is this lady like Miss Scott?"
Indy chuckles. "Not exactly." He looks to Cammy. "Kasim here is one of the descendants of the Children of Mayapore. A long, long time ago, children were stolen from a village to slave in a mine for the Thuggees."
Kasim nodded. "Oh, yes. And then the One Who Fell From the Sky came down and, with his faithful if noisy companions, saved my grandparents as well as so many others." He grinned widely.

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy leans back in the seat and takes a deep breath, "Quite a story. I should tell you about that plane trip," she suggests amusedly then smirks, "Doctor Jones is here to do a little...study of the mosque. I hear the Library dates back many, many years, Doctor Jones. What an interesting subject. Can you imagine what it's like? I've been to India before but never over there. I guess we'll find out for ourselves what the real story is," she suggests.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy chuckles. "Heard anything about Asfi Mosque?"
Kasim nods. "Oh, yes! The upkeep is enormous, and renovations go on in various places. But as for the Bhul-bhulaiya, a friend tells of one entry that was recently unearthed that leads into the lower levels. It is said that the entrance was found around the time frame you gave me, Dr. Jones."
Indy looked to Cammy. "My theory is that whoever had the beads hid them in the labyrinth until they could get back to them, but the opening was closed up as part of the renovations. Apparently, it was opened a week ago."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy looks out the window at the passing buildings and the landscape as Kasim & Indy talk, then looks back at them, "Labyrinth? Great," she comments, "I read that there's plenty of ways down but only one way up. Is that true or just a ghost story, Doctor Jones?" she wonders.

Indiana Jones has posed:
"A slight misunderstanding. That tale is actually about the terrace. But the place has gone through frequent changes, updates, renovations. The original blueprints are so out of date it's not even funny. I suspect the original thieves tried to leave clues in order to locate the beads again."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy ohs and nods, "I see," she explains, "I guess these maps won't be very helpful then, after all," she comments disappointedly. The cab is slowing and pulls up to their destination, "You seem to know a whole Hell of a lot about this place," she tells Kasim, "Any last tips?" she asks.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Kasim nods. "Yes. The recent attacks. Everyone knows it's the Army of Muhammed, but they don't know if it is related. I would say be very careful, Dr. Jones." He sounds honestly worried.
"I'm a careful guy." He smiles and steps out of the cab, waiting for Cammy to exit as well. Kasim opens the trunk and gets the large suitcases out.

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy climbs out of the cab after everybody else, "I'm ready for anything," she mutters, grabbing one of the suitcases, "As long as it's not an undead army," she suggests, "I'll check us in, Doctor Jones," she says helpfully.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy looks around, then gives Kasim a $50. "Keep the change, and keep your ears open."
Kasim nods and bows quickly, then smiles to him. "Thank you, Dr. Jones."
Indy waves to Kasim as he drives away, then heads into the hotel.

Thirty minutes later, Indy is opening his suitcase and looking at Cammy through the connecting door between their rooms. "All right. We have to pay the labyrinth a visit. Think you can convince the Indian government to give us access to the site?"

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy has changed into her other kickass outfit, then peeks through the open door to see what Indiana is doing, "Of course," she tells him as she stands at the door, leaning against the doorframe, "It's already been arranged. We just have to be out of there at a certain time or they're going to get nosy into what we're doing," she tells him, "That shouldn't be a problem, right?" she asks.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy nods, then pulls the Webley revolver and the bullwhip out of his suitcase. "Nope...no problem at all."
