Cast of Characters: Triage, Cannonball




Triage has posed:
Wearing a dark jacket, jeans, and sturdy hiking shoes, Chris walks slowly along the edge of the lake. His quarterstaff rests in the crook of his left arm, and his head is slightly bowed, eyes downward as if he is looking for something. After covering several yards, he stops. Then he kneels and plucks something from the sand. He pockets the object and continues to walk, still scanning the shoreline ahead of him.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has been out and is flying back tot he mansion. He spots someone walking along the lake, and they seem to be looking for something. He will come in along the tree line, and says "Hey you loose something? Need some help finding it?" . He will walk over looking around to see if he spots something odd on the ground.

Triage has posed:
Chris looks skyward when he hears the voice. Spotting Sam, he waves. When the instructor is near enough, Chris reaches into the pocket removes something. "These!" he answers, holding a white feather aloft. "I didn't loose them. I'm not sure that there are any more, but I don't want to take chances, either."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will walk over and if allowed he will take one of the feathers the man has in hand. He looks at it and says "Shannon or Brightwing?" He will ask of the feather. He looks around and asks "Why would either be shedding feathers?"

Triage has posed:
"They're most likely Shannon's," Chris answers, handing one of the large feathers to Sam. Then he cocks his head to one side - a classic sign of curiosity or bewilderment. "I thought that you would have heard." Then he frowns and shakes his head. He hastily adds, "She's safe, but these --" He pinches antoher feather between finger and thumb. With the index finger of his other hand, he points toward the root of the feather. "If they came out by the roots, they might have DNA that someone could use to trace her."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "True, not something I would worry about around here often, but with the attack it maybe sensable. You said she is safe, and I should have heard about what?' He will ask a brow raised abit.

Triage has posed:
Chris nods at the comments about the feathers and approval of his intention to gather them. He glances toward the mansion. "It's a bit more complex than this, but I'll give you the short step. Several of us were kn the dining hall. Ms. Pryde ... er ... Kitty and her boyfriend came to have a light dinner." He pauses for a moment, allowing the setting to fix itself in Sam's mind. "As you know, I've been helping here for a few weeks after the Sentinels disrupted our field trip. I decided to ask Ms. Pryde about making my stay more permanent, because we've had so many injuries and illnesses lately." Again, he pauses, allowing Sam to track.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, a bit and says "Ok, take it this happened after I left the room. You being around would be a good thing, I am pretty sure all would be glad to have you around. " He raises a brow "But not seeing why that would upset Shannon. So I am going to shut up and let you continue.

Triage has posed:
"She was upset at Kitty," Chris explains. "WHile talking to me about the job, Kitty mentioned that Shannon has had some ... challenges, and might have taken risks that she shouldn't have taken." He sighs. "That angered Shannon. She charged out of the room. I'm sure that she scared anyone along the way because she was going at full bore. I told Kitty that I would find her and talk to her."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit and says "Ok, I am not sure why she would be upset at it, she knows she is still learning her powers. I know she wants to be able to do anything but she it takes time.

Triage has posed:
Chris nods. "I know that, too. She and I have talked about it. But knowing a thing in your head and believing it in your heart are two different things." He frowns. "I think that Kitty upset her because Shannon because Shannon wants so badly to handle things that are too big for her now." He looks at the large feather in his hand before pocketing it again. "So, she left the room, ran through the mansion and outside. I followed, and found the first feather on the front steps. I found a few more, like a trail of breadcrumbs, leading here." He motions to indicate the lake.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs and nods his head a bit to this and says "Ok, I am going to have to talk to her soon. " He sighs a bit to this and says "If you learn anything more let me know ok?"

Triage has posed:
"I will," Chris confirms. "She has a powerful gift, but she needs guidance. That's another reason why I wanted to work here, to help her with that. No one should suffer that much." He inclines his head, knowing that Sam will not waste time.
