Davis paused unbuttoning his shirt as he saw Nerine's face scrunch up in concentration.  Seeing the disappointment when she opened her eyes to dismal results, he replied, "I don't know what you're doing.  Does it..." Davis paused, searching for the word "... cost you anything?  I don't want you collapsing from exhaustion or something."

She shakes her head. "With this much water to work with, it takes little effort...but it takes too much precision to get it right. Go ahead, uncle."
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Kevin carefully lifts up the bottle with a pen... making sure there's nothing he missed. Then he went back to scanning the area, if the major was in the water, keeping an 'eye' out, espeshally in the water, was important...
A player once asked me if there was any way to make a Tarrasque more evil... 3 sessions later he was stoned with D20s as the PC led an exidus out of the path of a Dire Tarrasque of Legendary Wonder.

Shrugging, the Major finished stripping down to boxer briefs and started inching out into the lake.  "Bit chilly to be out for long, I think."  As soon as the water was up to his shins, goosebumps broke out over his skin.  Visibly shivering a bit, he did a shallow dive and started swimming out towards the body.

The body, as Davis discovers upon reaching it, is of a scruffy, unshaven Irish man in his boxers, which haven fallen to around the dead man's knees.  The birds haven't begun picking at the body, indicating to Davis that it hasn't been here all that long.  While the dead man has a significant beer gut, he is otherwise in decent shape, not weighing an excessive amount.  The water combined with the limb body make it easy for Davis to swim back to shore with the body in tow.

As Davis pulls the man onto the shore on his back, his face is getting a hint of blue, although no where near the color of the dead man's face.  As the wind bites into his cold, wet back, Davis visibly shivers, from the weather, not the sight of death.

Dumping the man on the beach, Davis quickly began brushing the water off his body.  He went to his pile of clothes and pulled out the cell phone and tossed it to Kevin.  "Call Guy.  Tell 'em that we found another one."  After getting as much water off his body and out of his hair as he could, the Major put his pants and jacket back on, carrying his shirt.

Kevin looks into the phone's list of numbers, looking for Guy's number... "Shouldn't we call the cops, constable or someone here with athority?"

"911 works, ever since the national standardization of emergency number, they have had it set up so that all of them will reach local emergency responce" Kevin says calmly, finding Guy's number and dialing it... His visably relaxed a bit... this is why he was his, information, technical skills, not handling the dead, non-human, corpse body things...

"Wrong... running away make us look guilty, if we don't wait for the emergency responce, then we look very suspisious." he says as he waits for the call to connect.

The phone rang once, twice, and midway through the third ring, Kevin felt, more than heard, the pulse of electricity as the phone lines connected.

Everyone:

"Another stiff what? Here at the morgue, Ana is looking over the autopsy reports. I could swear that I could smell wet wood, among all the other scents that are supposed to be here. It's kind of distracting, almost. The scent of bone marrow is intoxicating now. Better than fresh blood."

"Ah, right. Like, stiff, as in rigor mortis. Got it. That's really not a surprise at this point. I mean, not compared to where it could have been. Is it actually stiff? If so, the 'stiff' probably died recently."

"I don't really know and I'm not going to touch it, thank you very much. It's a dead, person thing, and it should be put in the ground and incased in concrete...." He says in a rushed and nervous manner...

"Aren't coffins usually made of wood or, if rediculously expensive, pillows and silk and wood? rather than concrete? Or, I suppose burnt too, but... Wait, are you afraid of dead people? I love them. Especially when I kill them, they taste GREAT." The sarcasm in his tone is evident and mocking.
