(IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]

"Senarich pressed him and his denial didn't last long. He admitted it. He said he was being kept out of the loop and wanted to prove he was a player."

Peter shakes his head and looks away from Morgan.

"I think we need to find justice, for ourselves, and the townspeople. Maybe if we do it together with them, they can start to trust us."

(Peter will let Senarich talk any time he has something he wants to say.)

Morgan: "The killer lied then. I have as much to loose as anyone, and my identity is as well known as anyones. I swear I did not kill the first victim."

Shrewd: "At any rate, we need to keep the accusation down, even amoung our selves. The trial of Morgan should be about merely having a rider. Any other guilt is inconsequential and should be ignored -- if we think of him as guilty it will hurt his chances, which will hurt ours. On the other hand, Senarich, do you have any proof other than he sounded like morgan and claimed to be him?"

Peter thinks to Seanrich... 'Should we tell them about my visions? They might think we're nuts... but the dreams are real, and I can sense the riders and that priest's mojo or whatever... How do you think they'll react?'

[ericthered]

Senarich: "I can certainly convince them that you're telling the truth. Its easy to verify and frankly that lie wouldn't serve my purposes, however much it may or may not serve you. On the other hand, we will be placed at the front of the battle, and demands will constantly be made on our time. It will also give up an advantage when dealing with internal politics."

"Other than tracking him, talking with him and his identifying himself, no. I have no evidence other than what my senses told me... but I'm certain."

Senarich: "And if I was going to throw someone to the lions I could arrange to do it for someone other than my current employer!"

Big Man: "We can either go through the investigation Irodontus, or we can put you through the trial. In one case, you loose all of the prestige your position over the last few decades. In the other, you become our bravest and most fearless agent. If you were a coward you would have gotten out a long time ago. You would have found another host and you and Morgan would have went your ways."

Morgan: "Such a wonderful spin on things. I'll do it. But we do it on my terms. Its my life we've put forward as bait, and I want things done properly."

Shrewd Man: "I think that's acceptable. He is taking a large risk."

The woman scowls: "I don't think its time for it yet."

Shrewd Man: "two weeks ago I would have agreed. Its premature. But the war has started, and that will just stir up ill feeling. If we're going to do it, and I think we should, we need to do it now. Spread the word everyone, and see if we can get this movement going. And we'll need to come up with a good place to hide Morgan in the mean time."

Peter hold back at this point in the conversation, not really understanding enough about Rider politics to help at this point... the ball is at least rolling the way he wanted it to... He thinks to Senarich....

'Well, we've certainly started something...Do you think it'll work?'

[ericthered]

Senarich: "Agreed. I think we've done enough. Lets head home. It'll be harder to hide your exhaustion in the morning than many of the rest of them."

[the_matrix_walker]

'Sounds good... I am tired. And I haven't checked on Goliath in quite a while, I think this is the longest we've been apart since I got here."

Peter takes them home to the shed and gives Goliath a scratch on the head and goes to bed.

[ericthered]

Peter felt very satisfied with himself, and Goliath snuggled up with him on the bed. Perhaps this whole thing would finally sort itself out --

That night, he dreamed.

OCC: Yep, we're done here! Good work. You may spend 10 points improving peter. Don't feel obligated to post immediately after this, I'm going to move him to another world. Generating worlds ...
