Haunted Mansion: Game Over!

[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.

[Nexus]

"He didn't come to the attic. I was on my own. I thought I'd have company but evidently I was wrong."

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Datisi will be replacing BrassHerald

There is no visible reaction from Mr. Grey as you get closer to him.

[pablito]

Mr. Grey where are you headed next time?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Unable to get more answers out of the Mysterious Host, you decide to split up again to figure out what is wrong in the Mansion.

Movement Deadline: (expired on 2020-09-09 06:00:00)

[Menalque]

i grab mr gray by the collar and slam him against the wall

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

when you grab Mr. Grey your hand passes through him,

there is a faint smile on his face as he disappears - fading away like a distant memory...

Rules Reminder for the Guests and the Newcomers(Welcome Welcome!)

You may PM each other by typing

whisper: Playername

Once you begin a whisper conversation you do not need to continue putting in

whisper

in the thread, you may continue the conversation in sitechat/pms/discord whatever you wish. (do whisper tho if you are beginning a new conversation after the old one has ended)


Reminder for rules:

You may engage in combat with another player - by typing in ATTACK: ____

I will resolve combat by dice-rolling. (Intrinsic abilities and items may affect your combat roles)

After a declaration of an attack - there will be a 24h period in which both sides can solicit support from the other occupants of the room to give them aid in combat (+1 power per helper)
Both players may also decide to abandon the fight to cancel combat or speed up combat resolution to earlier than 24h (requires consent from both combat participants)

Successfully attacking a player will render them unconscious for a 24h period in which case you can rob - steal - murder tie them up etc..

You may assist either side in combat by typing in ASSIST: ____ when active combat begins. You must assist before I resolve the combat.

You may also search a room by typing in SEARCH: ROOM FOR ____

You may also do a general search if you have no idea what you are looking for.

You may communicate in the room threads where everyone can see - you can also role play - it is very much encouraged!

All actions done in each room will be ERASED at the end of each movement period in order to protect the guilty and because memory is fallible. You will not for example walk into the Kitchen and see a murder going on from the previous tenants of the kitchen, however you might find a dead body or the evidence of a fight.


You may publically declare where you are moving to at the end of each period if you are in the main hallway - if you are in a private room outside the Main Hallway - you will automatically exit back to the main hallway. You may also privately message me your movement choices if you don't want people to know where you are going. The later choice will take precedence.

If you do not enter any rooms - you will stay in the main hallway.

[Menalque]

ahahahahaha

what the fuck????

[the worst]

Finally beginning to feel herself again, Samantha picks herself up and looks around the room.

The last thing she remembered before fainting was a blood curdling scream from the direction of the kitchen. She had always been averse to loud frightful noises, and no doubt the liquor hadn't helped; moments after it pierced through the room, she had been out like a light. But things had... changed, since before. All these nice people, who were so earnest and friendly, looked distressed and aggressive. What on earth had happened here?

Being careful to keep a wide berth of the tension in the middle of the room, Samantha takes the long path to the bar. Taking scarcely a moment to select the best-looking bottle, she eventually decides on an

Armand de Brignac

, pouring slightly too much into the nearest champagne glass.

With her consciousness re-acquired and a beverage to calm her nerves, she carefully taps the arm of the nearest guest, her voice scarcely more than a whisper.

"Excuse me... What the hell is going on?"

[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.

[Datisi]

go to solarium

"i will assist you."

[the worst]

Realising there doesn't seem to be anyone particularly social present, Samantha takes a long moment to ponder the duo leaving the room. Finally, she tops up her glass from the bottle, and sets off after them.

"Wait for me!"

go to solarium

[lilith2013]

whisper to daryl

[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

[the worst]

Samantha tries not to stare during Mr. Dangerous' outburst, starting to contemplate her decision. Was he making some attempt at humour? Or could he seriously be mistaking the sentient teddy bear in the corner of the room for some kind of omnipotent being? Were the peculiar happenings of the evening starting to drive people mad?

[dsjstr]

Go to Solarium

Andy and Jim you two seemed closest to Mr. Grey would you mind sharing what you have talked about... not like we have an option to ask him ourselves now

Daryl I suggest you stick with people you trust, so far the people who have had visible items(purse, fireplace poker, briefcase, frying pan) have all died and we need you in order to have the best chance to stop the person with the gun from just killing everyone.

[Menalque]

whisper to Jessica

[Menalque]

There’s only one person here I think I really trust, Mark, and I’ll be sticking with her.

You’re on your way to being one of those people though, so be careful. Try and find something to look after yourself with. We’ll stand a better chance united if we have some weapons, supernatural danger or not

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[the worst]

Samantha stays close to Mark as she re-enters the hallway, glancing around the room suspiciously.
