Try to find Yoon, and ask for her help in restoring the art to its rightful owners. (Possibly appeal to her sensibilities and mention how the world's being deprived of such a great work while the thief goes unpunished.)
Ask the police for records on any and all silver cars.
Consider tweaking mustache, decide that mustache has been overexerted.

Punch the wall in your unbridled rage.
Put a hand against a damp wall and sigh with your unbridled disappointment.
Find somebody who looks like they know what's going on. Ask them if the car went by.
Use process of elimination to figure out which garage it must be.
Give up the chase, go back to the police, and cash in your plate info. Possibly fabricate something about SEEING them with the Boullogne.

Other Note: Should we count only the RPers, or the people that made suggestions, too, as contributors towards the topic for EP purposes? Y'know, before Blood asks said question and all.

The latest.Okay, I know "Go to the Passione Rossa" is kind of the obvious command here, but maybe you'd like to suggest something for him to do or think about on the way? Or something. I don't know. Sorry, it's not the greatest breaking point for suggestions but it felt like the natural one in terms of the pace of the story. Oh, and as for Lee's question, I'm thinking maybe the participants could get one EP for each suggestion they make that isn't joking or redundant? I'd be happy to go through this topic and provide those numbers once the RP's done.

Think about what sort of Power would be able to make a painting appear and disappear, and try to deduce how such an ability might function.
Discern that she is certainly not a native, and appears to have just recently flown in. Time to check the airports!

Guys it is CRAZY what kind of suggestions I don't have!
I know, like I said, this wasn't the most open-ended point, but suggestions have been dropping off massively not just lately but for the last couple of pages and I don't get why. This is summer, isn't everyone supposed to have more spare time? I'm okay with pushing the story along with only Biscuit's suggestions to work from, but is this newfound pattern going to keep up where every update only gets one more person to make any suggestions? Because that is not right and it's really worrisome and a little saddening. I would hate to think you guys are losing interest. We're almost on the home stretch and we're getting into the parts of the story I've wanted to tell from the beginning.

Actually, a deal comes to mind: For every thoughtful suggestion from here on out, I'll ask a thoughtful question on that person's Formspring.
This ought to work out considering that virtually everyone who's posted even once in this topic seems to have a Formspring, bar only Tangrow. And normally I answer way more questions than I ask, so surely this should count for something.

Recall past dealings with Yoon.
LANDSVALE IS IN ON IT. Why else would he have let a civilian inside the crime scene if not to distract Williams, as he's done with all the false speculations?! What investigator in his right mind would let Renard make off with a key piece of evidence like the DVD?!

Entertain the thought that Nicole may have had an accomplice at the crime scene. Consider it plausible but unlikely.
Find an area with some light and read the reverse sides of the notes. Consider taking it to Williams as a clue, but decide to keep a hold of it for the time being. Williams can see it later.
Consider telling Williams everything so far. Disregard the notion - he doesn't need another reason to doubt your sanity.
Ponder the location of your window and steering wheel again.
Stop for a smoke break.
Jump in a puddle. Possibly out of frustration.
Mourn loss of hat.

Wonder if your insurance covers Power damage to your vehicles, then recall that you considered it (a quite costly add on to your insurance package) too expensive and skipped on it.
Glance back forlornly at your car, at see some other part of it experience catastrophic mechanical failure (I, for one, think the axles should go.)
(Too late for this suggestion, but I should have found some way to time travel or something.) Put something else in the spot where the painting was, and see if it, too, vanishes.

Consider the possibility that all of your misfortunes today stem from one action earlier in the morning. Vow never to do that action again.
Catch yourself doing said action. Excuse it to yourself.
See somebody else with a moustache. Think to yourself that they really should groom said mustache better. ------- As for the recent dwindling of suggestions, Renard has already: A: Visited a coffee house B: Visited a museum C: Spiced his vocabulary with a liberal sprinkling of French
And he smokes a pipe instead of one of those sissy cigarettes.
So we're out of French stereotypical actions until he gets to have wine & cheese or a chance to surrender. Thus leaving us at a loss for actions to suggest.

Re-enact scene from favorite movie in regards to abandoning car.
Stub toe - lose one of the notes while attempting to relieve pain
Check reflection in passing reflective surface. Ensure optimum appearance qualities. Tweak moustache.

Briefly entertain how potentially dubious it is to meet a lady in a restaurant called the Passione Rossa.
Step in puddle; experience shoe-flooding.
Begin to come up with a list of things to ask Ms. Mangjeol.
Ponder where to find a replacement for so fine a hat as that which was recently lost.
Tweak moustache in solemn remembrance of hat. (Mourn the loss of your steering wheel as well.)
Most importantly, Go to the Passione Rossa.

The latest. gog DAMN that was long. Every Renard post seems to take two hours these days. I blame you guys for suddenly coming through with so many suggestions. And by "blame" I mean "thank profusely". May you continue to be so amazing! Obviously my whining works a lot better when bolstered with Formspring bargains. Which reminds me... Formspring bill: Biscuit - 2 Elliot - 10 Lee - 6 SV - 6 F*ck. This is gonna keep me busy long after this RP is finished, I bet. Anyway guys, please run me further into debt with more suggestions. We're getting into focused conversational stuff here where I'm really hoping you'll make suggestions for particular things for Renard to say to Yoon. This will be the last scene in the second act. (I think this will also probably turn out to be the longest act in the end. The third one should be shorter.) Also: (Too late for this suggestion, but I should have found some way to time travel or something.) Put something else in the spot where the painting was, and see if it, too, vanishes. Might as well address this here since Renard probably won't have an opportunity to experiment like that in the rest of the story. Short answer is, that wouldn't have done anything. The other object wouldn't have gone anywhere.

Make a little small-talk -- for the Passione Rossa is not a place to get straight down to business.
Commend yourself for your cunning wordplay.
Ask Mde. Mangjeol what she knows about Le roi Midas and its disappearance, but be careful not to make it sound as though you suspect Mde. Mangjeol herself.
Also ask about any Powers named Nicole who may have disappear-y/reappear-y abilities.
Make Mde. Mangjeol aware of your appreciation of her and her help.

Return Yoon's greeting with a similar icy tone, to try and take control of the conversation.
Return Yoon's greeting with too much friendliness, trying to break the ice.
Glance around, see if you know anybody else. For a moment, think you see the suspect, then realize it's not her.

Ponder Yoon's knowledge of your arrival.
Order a Stella. For God and country!
Make small talk, only to be interrupted by Yoon's intimate knowledge of your predicament. Smart lady, that Miss Mainjeyool.
Find some way to politely and discreetly air out your shoes and socks. Trench foot is no laughing matter.
Entertain the idea of using the restroom, but then disregard it based on the less-than-reputable condition of the bar, coupled with the possibility that you may never find it in this darkness.

Crack a joke in hopes of lightening the mood. Be ecstatic/disappointed when it works/fails.
Ponder finding a new hat.
Be unsure as what to order. Decide on the same drink of random man at the bar, discover it to be delicious/horrible, resolve to always/never order it again.
Make a mental note of the distance between yourself and Yoon, then the nearest tables, and the door. Calculate time and effort needed to escape in an emergency. If an emergence occurs, be ecstatic/disappointed that you calculated correctly/incorrectly. Possibly mourn loss of hat again, as you cannot throw it down in disgust.
Bring up the subject of the stolen painting.
Offer to buy Yoon a drink. That should lighten the mood! And hopefully get her relaxed enough to share any information she has.

The latest. There needs to be a word for foreshadowing events that happen chronologically before the scene currently being written. "Threeshadowing" maybe? Anyway I'm definitely planning to use more of the suggestions that I got this round, but I'm deliberately withholding some for the moment to pace the conversation properly. And he could use more, as always. Damn I got to start working on this Formspring bill pretty soon. Biscuit - 5 Elliot - 14 Lee - 8 SV - 9 ALSO, there was an argument between me and Choobs on the shoutbox which I screencapped 'cuz I feel it was far from being useless drama and was actually a really relevant and healthy disagreement. So I'll link the screencaps below, starting from the beginning (but obviously the conversation starts from the bottom of each page and goes up). I didn't think to start screencapping until the beginning of the argument had already been pushed off the chatlog, but what happened was I took a drunken swing at Blood with an uncalled-for comment about how this RP is too creative and original for him to handle, and then Choobs observed that this RP is, like an experimental film, "groundbreaking, sure, but rubbish for actual consumption" or some words like that. Not trying to draw out the argument any further or anything since I'm pretty sure Choobsie and I are good at this point. I just think this is genuinely worth a read for anyone who's been keeping up with this RP. EDIT: Sorry that neither of us used caps or a different font color. Tough keeping track of who's who.

Show her the notebook.
Wonder at what has got Yoon so agitated.
NOTE: I'll add more to this in a bit, but I think it's safe to say Yoon doesn't fare too well in Ish.

Look around, possibly frantically, for a computer to play the security footage on. Fail. Consider kicking table in disappointment. Disregard the notion - you've had too many foot injuries today as it is.
Then realise that you have the sheet of paper from the visitor's book that clearly states that Yoon was there on the day.
Wonder if the note was forged, possibly by Nicole.
Demand to know why Yoon is lying. Threaten to confiscate the wine until she tells all.

Ask Mde. Mangjeol (tactfully, of course), if anyone can verify what she was in Mahogany.
Show Mde. Mangjeol the page from the visitor's log.
Inquire politely as to why Mde. Mangjeol is so agitated.

Mention Nicole. Demand more information.
Entertain the thought that Yoon has actually assisted with the robbery. Consider the notion increasingly likely as the conversation goes on.
Lose your temper if Yoon continues to tell more lies. Take a moment to collect yourself.
Comfort the poor lady, she's clearly been through an ordeal and finds everything terrifying at the moment!

Unconsciously scratch your leg, mortifying Yoon.
Smile reassuringly, and then produce the page from the visitor's book with a badass flick of the wrist.
Ask Yoon if anybody would have any reason to frame her for being at the museum that day.
Hint that your suspect is out to get Yoon.
