Haunted Mansion: Game Over!

[Iconeum]

She turned to the nearest guest, smiling politely. "I'm Lindsay. So pleased to meet you!"

Lindsey you're beautiful. I like your style. We're besties. Us girls gotta stick together. I'm Alice. Now which hottie is going to get me a drink?

Well hellloooooo ladies.
Let me buy you a drink. Are you interested in a little fun? I can make it worth your while

[Iconeum]

Takes a deep breath in and turns to the new man reluctantly, "Thank you for the offer but we just got a bottle of wine, you are more than welcome to join us. I am Mark, this is James and the girls are Alice and Lindsay."

Hello Mark. My name is Andy. Andy Dangerous. You got the wine, but I have something a little more... spicey
Ur free to join us, I don't mind

[Iconeum]

May I suggest the 4 of us retreat upstairs, let's say to the bedroom? We can take the wine there, too. Get to know each other a little better.

[Iconeum]

*looks at Mark, Alice and Lindsay charismatically* wink wink

[Iconeum]

whisper to djstr, alice and lindsay

[Iconeum]

"buy the 2 ladies and the gentleman i'm talking to a gin-tonic, make one for me as well", i say to the bartender

that should be a nice warm-up drink before hitting that bottle of wine, amiright?

[Iconeum]

buy everyone else a beer

[Iconeum]

Also, Mr Dangerous, I think you are being abit rude to the ladies here.Nonetheless, I hope we all are prepared and we should hatch a plan together in the Study to have the best strategy going forward.

it's not rude

it's just good business

also, ya'll can work out that plan while the 4 of us are spending some Q-time together. I'll finance what needs financing afterwards

[Iconeum]

Father Jim looks and says, "Perhaps Mr Maynard has a point. We should be less concerned with the pleasures of the flesh and more concerned with our strategies."

buy Father Jim a Bloody Mary

[Iconeum]

"Father Jim, are you maybe interested in watching? You need only ask…"

[Iconeum]

"Now while the party hasn't really started yet: is anyone in the market for the best condo in town"?

[Iconeum]

order porcelet chops, and all of the wine suggestion

[Iconeum]

now, who's looking for some real estate maybe?

[Iconeum]

sure

[Iconeum]

sit next to dsjtr

[Iconeum]

go to Study

if anyone's interested in bying a condo or 2, follow me there

[Iconeum]

Iconeum: What was the name of a 2015 movie, in which actress Blake Lively played a woman who stopped aging?

i don't even have to look this up

Age of Adelaine or something close to this

Actually, as far as movies in the genre 'something to watch with the Mrs.' go, not bad. Not bad at all.

Bad for my business tho, people who can't die. Imagine them not selling their real estate.

[Iconeum]

go to bedroom
tell alice she's coming with me

[Iconeum]

whisper to ambic

[Iconeum]

whisper to pablito

[Iconeum]

pablito ur coming with me to the bedroom

you can't resist me

[Iconeum]

...what original murder? Hey man, that wasn’t mentioned on my invite. What are you talking about?

i back up against a wall

you were invited?

[Iconeum]

"I'm assuming no one's gonna claim to have gone to the solarium last phase..."

yes

[Iconeum]

go solarium

[Iconeum]

so eh

we found this body in the solarium

i took his watch

[Iconeum]

also it had a lot of puncture wounds

menal was there

he took out this piece of equipment that inflicts puncture wounds and started waving it at me while shouting 'OMG ICO DID YOU DO THIS'

[Iconeum]

"You stole his watch? Don't you have any respect for the dead?"

hey, its a nice watch

[Iconeum]

but like

menal was there

with something that actually could be the murder weapon
tho he didn't use it to attack me

[Iconeum]

can we talk about the weapon menal has?

i clearly have nothing of the sorts that can cause that kind of damage, so i suggest we all take hold of menalque here and search him

[Iconeum]

Very well.

[Iconeum]

advance alongside Daryl, towards Mr. Grey. Fists out.

I've nothing to do with anything here, Daryl. I was here to have a good time and maybe make some money in the process. I didn't sign up for this, but I sure as hell want some answers too.

Let's make him talk.

[Iconeum]

go to solarium

yes, again

maybe the body has more to offer in order to solve this, and mayyyyybeeeee people with me won't start threatening me just because i, well, you know.

Never mind.

[Iconeum]

man what a weird mansion this is

people acting strange
dead people
a (g)host that is... what exactly?
some of you are talking in this strange 3rd party voice, like this is some roleplaying game??

am i the only one not high here maybe?

hmmmm

[Iconeum]

not to mention we apparently have to tell this person where we wanna go, like it's impossible for us to go there ourselves?

i wish i could make more sense of all of this

[Iconeum]

So ehh

are we gonna talk about THE FUCKING CORPSE THAT WANTED ITS WATCH BACK?

[Iconeum]

or we gonna play pictionary?

both are ok for me

[Iconeum]

Wait, didn't we have a priest among us?

JO JIMISI, can't you exorcise these ghosts here? Get some divine action going and help us out or some shit?

[Iconeum]

So ehh

are we gonna talk about THE FUCKING CORPSE THAT WANTED ITS WATCH BACK?

Who has the watch and where did this happen?

i took the watch from the body 2 nights ago, last night i went there again to investigate and it just like... asked it's watch back

which i did, for Obvious reasons

[Iconeum]

WOW

[Iconeum]

sam - ur making this up right?

[Iconeum]

"There was the body. Mr, uh,"

she pauses

"Grindwaer? I believe? And then the room went dark, and I saw this, and then he asked for his watch back."

Ehm, i remember the FUCKING BODY ASKING THE WATCH BACK

but room going dark? that drawing?

no?

[Iconeum]

"Why am I alive?"

are you, tho?

i'm not sure what to make of any of this!

maybe this is all a scam, and all of you are trying to trick meeee

AND WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING IN ITALICS AAAAAAA

[Iconeum]

I'm

going to the bedroom

i need some rest and relaxation

Samantha - Why don't you join me there? I'm sure you can use both as well. We can solve whatever this is after some *rest* wink wink

[Iconeum]

Sam - can I call you that? I love the name.

I've just went to the solarium twice, and first I found a body and then the body started *talking*. You saw some weird stuff there.
I know I can use some rest for a bit, and I think so can you. Come with me, I think this is just what we need.

[Iconeum]

i must insist we go to the bedroom

you can bring your friend Jessica along with you if that makes you feel better?

[Iconeum]

looks like we didn't lose anyone

i was with 3 others in the bedroom

[Iconeum]

wdym???

i've got a bad feeling about this

i just remember barely escaping a fight with Daryl, before going back here?

[Iconeum]

ofcourse i do

right?

do i?

wait

[Iconeum]

oh no

[Iconeum]

why would someone be smashing mirrors

[Iconeum]

oh fuck oh god

[Iconeum]

search for a piece of silver - preferably something i can stab vampires with

[Iconeum]

"The mirror in the bedroom was smashed as well."

Samantha takes a long gulp of champagne and fills up her glass, coughing a bit in an effort not to gag. When she speaks again her voice is cracked.

"I need to go to the solarium. Would anybody care to keep me company?"

go solarium

[Iconeum]

oh damn

[Iconeum]

i quickly poor down a glass of that champagne as well, before moving to the solarium

[Iconeum]

i'm fine... why would my neck be bothering me?

(almost afraid to ask lol)

[Iconeum]

i don't fucking know

why's all the mirrors smashed?

[Iconeum]

whisper back

[Iconeum]

I don't fucking know how we got out of there alive

[Iconeum]

that fucker ripped the father's head off *with it's hands*

[Iconeum]

‘Daryl and Jessica are the vampires. They killed Mark and then attacked me. I escaped back here. Don’t buy the hysterical woman act - she’s the ring leader’

How did you escape an attack from 2 vampires that managed to kill someone else? What did you do that saved you?

[Iconeum]

you found a smoke bomb? where?

[Iconeum]

‘Daryl and Jessica are the vampires. They killed Mark and then attacked me. I escaped back here. Don’t buy the hysterical woman act - she’s the ring leader’

are they strong? can we 'handle them' if we work together?

[Iconeum]

Daryl what are you doing!!

First you wanted to stab me, now this!

And ur being accused of vampirism? Show us your neck!

[Iconeum]

whisper to sam

[Iconeum]

WHY WAS MARK HERE AND POINTING AT JESSICA????

DID ANYONE SEE THAT?

[Iconeum]

*whisper to alice*

[Iconeum]

Did anyone see my tin of coke? Could really use some right now

[Iconeum]

sam - did you take my coke? I remember being in the solarium with you and i'm *pretty* sure i last saw it there

[Iconeum]

do we have some kind of proof that Jessica is a vampire?

[Iconeum]

"The last time a ghost told me to trust them, I reanimated a corpse. Just... Please, don't listen to them."

are you not worried for the whereabouts of said corpse at this time?
do you even remember what happened there? IT WAS A FUCKING BLOODBATH

I thought maybe vampires could have had something to do with it, but do VAMPIRES EVEN BLEED???

[Iconeum]

She keeps begging me to take a leap of faith

i'm actually considering just taking that leap with you

i'm fucking done with this

vampires people dissapearing ressurecting corpses that decapitate us

i'm literally thinking this is the best way out

[Iconeum]

you guys think this is bad?

wait until you see a zombie ripping someone's head clean off

[Iconeum]

Sam - what do you think?

wanna jump out together and be done with this?

[Iconeum]

I really wanna get out of here

But i'm not leaving without you

[Iconeum]

Everyone listen up

we decide right here and now

Either Jessica is human, in which case she needs urgent medical attention
Or she's a vampire, in which case I'm gonna take that stake, and do what needs doing if you know what i mean

[Iconeum]

@Daryl

do you mind letting us come closer and inspect her, for bitemarks or something that might help us decide?

[Iconeum]

Didn't someone have a stick of silver?

Daryl, can't you at least allow us to have the silver touch Jessica on her arm to see if it reacts? If that shit starts sizzling or something, then at least we have a chance of staking it while it's down! And if it doesn't, then maybe she's just normal I guess?

[Iconeum]

welp

[Iconeum]

whisper to Sam

[Iconeum]

I help and protect sam

Always

[Iconeum]

Samantha lunges at Jessica with her carving fork - moving impossibly quickly - and slashing at her. Jessica snarls as she moves aside at the last possible second and trips Samantha, throwing her to the floor and tackling her. She sinks her teeth into the dazed woman's neck and rips apart her jugular, blood spraying everywhere. She stands up with Samantha's blood dripping down her face...

YOU BASTARDS KILLED

KENNY

SAM

[Iconeum]

LET'S FUCKING GO, CLINES

DOUBLETEAM THIS VAMPIRE SCUM

[Iconeum]

Pick up the carving fork Sam used and help Clines in the fight

[Iconeum]

i'm sure we can work this out

[Iconeum]

take out my coke, and do a fast line on the back of my hand

[Iconeum]

last ditch effort

here we go

Sit down on my knees next to Sam's body, soak my hands in her blood and draw a pentagram next to her

[Iconeum]

perfect

[Iconeum]

ok Sam you can come back now

[Iconeum]

shh

this stuff takes a minute to work

[Iconeum]

i've seen it before

[Iconeum]

any time now, Sam

[Iconeum]

Jessica

please

Just turn me into a vampire as well

I think I can dig the lifestyle
As you can see, I'm also really good around blood

[Iconeum]

I position myself in front of the window, back against it, facing Jessica

[Iconeum]

Why should I convert you instead of just draining your blood?

I think we'd make a good team actually. After what I saw this night, I'm definitely down to become a vampire.

Condo-selling real estate agent by day, Vampire coke-snorting party animal at night

[Iconeum]

Can you imagine what use I'd be for you? I can get you places to stay. I'm rich and I have influence. I sell real-estate so I obviously have no moral dilemma's here.
Besides I really don't wanna die

[Iconeum]

And after this entire night, I realllly feel like leaving this place. With my head still attached.

[Iconeum]

Also, I'd love to go hunt that zombie that should still be running around here somewhere. I kid you not, that thing had a D60 and just popped the priest's head right off.
With the 3 of us as vampires, maybe we can take it.

[Iconeum]

Show my hands

i'm not hiding anything other then some cash and my tin of coke here

I'm done with all of this.

The Zombie is fucking huge and real. When it attacked the priest, they did this strange thing where they threw a die at each other to see who was stronger I think? The priest used a D6, the zombie demon thing was HUGE (d60) and ripped the head clean off with it's bare hands.

Sam and I barely managed to survive by hiding

[Iconeum]

So i'm suggesting something of a trade, where I am turned into a vampire and am allowed to walk out of here (if we get past the monster), in exchange for living space and private quarters to do.. whatever the fuck you guys want

[Iconeum]

I've got a great beach house if ur interested

[Iconeum]

I follow Jessica's instructions

[Iconeum]

FUCK ME

[Iconeum]

i swear to god i drew the short stick this game

[Iconeum]

oh look the mooshy mooshy scene with tw was saved

[Iconeum]

I consent to ours being made available

Consent is a big word when chained down by burning iron and a demon talking to you

[Iconeum]

Honestly, I gave no idea what he was expecting when I said that "together forever" wasn't obliging enough.

Honestly, it was something in between



and



but i'm not one to turn down a hot girl
