"Well I came here to find somone" Jordan lied. Well he didn't actually lie, he came here to look for anyone that was alive. "I wouldn't anger it, we don't know what it does. It could be a dangerous bug. Oh and you still haven't answered 'my' question, what happened to Orion?"

Juliet nodded slowly. The beetle was strange. "Will it come out?" she wondered out loud, bending down and... well, snapping and calling "Here, beetle beetle beetle," experimentally.

Alastair patted Orion's back, "You mean this lad? We're not sure, he just kinda...passed out. Who are you looking for?"
The beetle looked out from behind Jordan and inspected Juliet from afar.
It approached slowly and cautiously.

"It might hurt you if you touch it with your skin, if you want to handle it use some fabric." Jordan looked back at Alastair "Passed out, maybe I should have stayed with him...anyway, it's just someone." Jordan walked up to them "we should get moving, there might be some people still alive..., oh no, Shikyo. Oh well, I'm sure he's fine, I'll lead the way." Jordan started walking farther in, he would eventually find the tower.

"I want a name, lad." Alastair said, grabbing Jordan's should. It wasn't a threatening move, it was just meant to stop him.
Shikyo arrived up the stairs as Jordan spoke of him.

Jordan sighed "I'm searching for a someone named sanity." Jordan pushed away and waved Shikyo over to him. He began walking again.
((What I meant by that is that I'm looking for sane survivors. Just in case you didn't get it.))

Juliet kept waiting for the beetle, glancing up when Alastair went for Jordan's shoulder. She kept her gun in her right hand just in case.

"Don't be in such a hurry, lad. You've still got questions to answer." Alastair said, "Who is this "Sanity", such an odd name, and what's your jurisdiction to be in this place?"
The beetle approached Juliet, examining her hand with it's antennae. When it was satisfied, it moved in closer.

Juliet moved very slowly as though to pet it.

The beetle moved into Juliet's hand, eager to be petted or scratched.

Jordan laughed "it's just a metaphor, I'm searching for any sane survivors in this hell hole. Yes, there are insane people who are violent, I had to subdue one that looked like he was diseased. My jurisdiction is that same as yours if I'm not mistaken." Jordan guessed these cops had no more authority then him.

"We're here searching for a missing man, lad. If Juliet here hadn't overheard her pa talking about this place, we wouldn't even be here. What's your reason? I'm only asking one more time, lad."
Alastair was generally a kind person, and he was about an inch or two shorter than Jordan, but he was also big, and rather intimidating when he had to be serious.

Plus there was Juliet, who although petting a beetle was still holding a handgun. The fact the beetle was behaving like a dog was starting to get Juliet wondering a little, though.

"I told you, I'm searching for missing persons, same as you, only looking for more. I found this-Jordan pulled out the silver coin and handed it to Alastair-and I heard about all the missing people that went in here, and all the insane people that came out of here. I thought I'd wing it; unlike you I don't have anyone I can use as back up. I'll need that silver coin back by the way." Jordan smiled, he was a standard police man, that could be good or bad.

The beetle nibbled at Juliet's sleeve.
"The police would've sent police to investigate if there was any strong evidence that the Penfold Estate was involved."
He took the coin and investigated it, "Where'd you find this?" he asked, handing it back.
((Logging, sorry. Be on tomorrow, maybe))
