I would be perfect to investigate that bar, since nobody would notice a cat hanging around that bar. Do you have a map of the area? I say you drop me off somewhere 5 or 10 blocks away, so they don't notice you. And you can pick me up somewhere else. What do you think?' </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-nine-lives-continues#post-34013 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:11:23 +0000 Magnus 34013@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>double post </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-nine-lives-continues#post-34010 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 08:35:36 +0000 kyler 34010@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>"Well, if you've died six times, that means you're on your seventh life; when you die twice more, you will be dead.</p> <p>"I would love to take you along with me into the field, but these days they've got me working behind a desk.

He takes out a poorly lit picture; the subject, a large, muscular man in a black and white suit, has a face not visible through the shadow beyond that he has a strong chin and a prominent jawline.</p> <p>"We suspect this man was behind the order to kill Jed as well as my partner and several other law enforcement officials.

I'm not really sure because I'm counting the instances when I should have died but was saved by a twist or fate. I died explicitly once, being run over by a car hurt a lot.

I wonda how many rives you used doing that."</p> <p>As he's talking to you, he continuously glances down at you.</p> <p>There is abruptly chaos, and you are flung to the floor; you feel the weight of the dashboard pin you down painfully.</p> <p>You hear the detective breathing shallowly, and the car has halted.</p> <p>After what seems like an eternity, you hear sirens. The technicians drag the detective from the car, and you hear him sputter, "The cat."</p> <p>The car is cut and pried from around you; one of the EMTs examines you, and says, "We'd best have a veterinarian have a look at you, but it looks to me like you're one lucky cat."</p> <p>It seems the detective was in a head on collision with a tractor trailer which weaved into his lane. The other driver, a large man in his forties, is reacting belligerently to the questioning. He smells distinctly of marijuana and alcohol to your nose at this distance.</p> <p>They take you to an emergency animal hospital, and the doctor on duty examines you carefully, feeling over every inch, before telling you, "A car accident where you were pinned to the floor, and not a mark on you. You are one lucky guy. Can't say the same for your owner; only time will tell for him."</p> <p>They put you in a cage for the night. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-nine-lives-continues#post-33940 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 17:27:32 +0000 kyler 33940@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <br /> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-nine-lives-continues#post-33935 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 14:56:41 +0000 Magnus 33935@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>I nod an affirmative. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/elis-nine-lives-continues#post-33932 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 14:42:37 +0000 kyler 33932@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>He looks at your note on the ground, glances around, then tells you, "I'm going to pick you up.
