Haunted Mansion - vampy chats!

[ambic]

I am from New Zealand, but I dont know What we do in the shadows. Apart from kill, recruit and kill

Welcome

[ambic]

This is who i need to recruit

Nexus is not a female so you can't seduce/hypnotize them into your coven

The females at the party are:

Lilith2013
Ariel
Pablito
Selynee

If they repeat themselves thrice, i can bite them

[ambic]

There is a suitcase under the mattress in the bedroom. Pooky has corrected the line saying i have it

[ambic]

As the daughter of mr grey have you talked to him? He might be willing to help you?

[ambic]

What i want to do, lure to the room Two of the girls we want. Chat. Pull out the brief case and tell them its voice activated. But it hasnt worked for us. The password is ‘One Three Three Three Two Two’. If we get one extra person in the room, we do it with them there, and shoot them. Two extra, and we be nice and chatty and do nothing. Ill pull on all the books, with an instruction to Pooky to deliberately not pull the trigger book. Ill check ahead of time that thats ok. That camera system is going to be useful to protect.

[ambic]

If you think you can get Ariel, ill try to get Pablito.

I think our goals might be aligned. Can we chat more?

I am going to the study. And perhaps the creature needs to be worried you won't just kill it immediately to take the keys from it. It's just a chance that you both need to be willing to take.

That sounds delightfully wonderful. Tell me, is there anyway I might know that the creature wont just try to devour me if I do this?

Where are you headed today? I dont quite know where to head right now?

Well, since you're the only one who seems to realize there is a curse. You'll need some fresh blood. Then you need to draw a pentagram with it. The creature you summon that way will lead you out

(At the point in time, I was going to the study. I havent apologized for that yet)

Also in the thread:

"I apologize I should have mentioned that I do not keep a full staff here. Since my daughter left it is often just me at the house and I don't need to be waited on."

It may be of benefit to let him know you are here, but the differing surnames is interesting.

[ambic]

You could tell Fwesnid that you were worried about Mr Grindwaers reactions in the hall. He had a weapon, and got angered quickly about it being pointed out.

[ambic]

So where shall we head? The solarium is probably going to be packed this time. Im worried the bedroom will be too. I worry about people finding the cameras, but the threads.... Our thread was 4 pages long as we ripped that room apart. Their threads were like the main hall again. If I had a room to myself, Id rip up the carpet, and pull off the lightswitches looking for every possible thing.

[ambic]

No, thats the best place. I just worry about too many people being in there

[ambic]

Is Mr Grey a ghost? THe reason he wants a pentagram, is to do with his own situation - He doesnt remember you, because you left before he died.

[ambic]

I really want to have a big long chat with him, but I want to be really careful with him.

[ambic]

I could offer to help him find fresh blood. (I intended to decieve him with the lipstick)
I could point blank ask him if he is dead.
I could (at enormous risk) invite him to the bedroom, and let him see what we do (Probably a no, but I have no issues with taking risks in a game like this)
Hmmmmm......

[ambic]

I think he is a massive key for us. But if he learns of me recruiting the girls, it might turn him against us - and you.

[ambic]

I think it best here if I talk to him. I dont know what happens if he finds you. But I think we better agree on what I say, because its a major turn.

BTW: Do you have any objection sharing this thread with Pooky?

[ambic]

Maybe at the end of the game

[ambic]

Yeah, lets work out what we will talk to him. We know he wants a pentagram

We could ask him if he is aware there was a murder in the house before we arrived. And we are of the opinion that the murderer is here tonight, or if they arent, they've left enough evidence for us to pinpoint them.

[ambic]

What about:

"Mr Grey - I am aware through my contacts that there was a murder not long ago in this house. We believe that the murderer is either here, in person tonight, to destroy the evidence - OR worse, kill again. I believe the murderer thinks your daughter is here tonight, and has come here to finish her off - or find evidence that proves where she is - to do the same later.

There may be a body hidden here in the house. That I am less sure about, but it feels right.

Whatever is true, I believe you may be key to that mystery. Dont get me wrong, I know you are no murderer. I believe your daughter is in great danger."

[ambic]

Depending on how he responds to that, I can tell him, his daughter is indeed here - and Im currently protecting her as much as I can. Then we can decide whether you two talk more openly?

[ambic]

Sent.

I'm so glad you are here with me. On my own, Id have gone all ADHD on the game

[ambic]

Pookys novel: A Vampire, a Ghost, and his still living daughter team up to solve the murder, and enslave the world

[ambic]

There are letters to you in the bedroom. Pablito told me. He doesnt know they are for you but they are addressed to mr greys daughter

[ambic]

He saysit was nothing interesting but he may not know the significance

[ambic]

Can you send a PM to Pooky

Something like:

Look hard at Mr Grey, and contrast what I see, to my memories of what he looked like

I think we need to know if he is an imposter. If he is an imposter, he isnt a ghost, he's the killer

[ambic]

I saw documents in the bedroom last time. Nothing much of interest actually. Letters to his dauggter but didnt reveal anything.

Did someone take them? Where were they? They arent relevant to me but i know who they are relevant to

They were in the bedroom. No one took them.

Arial has ordered some water. If she has the priest guy pray over it, panic. Holy water is very bad.

[ambic]

SimplyTHeBest: Do you know who the victim was? I have an idea of who it might be

Ambic: Oh, I know who exactly the victim was. And it makes the guest list, well, border nonsensical. Because the dead person appears to be very much alive. I am forced to conclude they are a ghost.

[ambic]

Well darn, she is trying to get the Father to bless the water. We need to react

[ambic]

I dont know. I will message the priest and call Ariel a witch. She intends to use the holy water in a blasphemous spell.

[ambic]

I wonder if Pooky will let you go to the top of the stairs, and shoot Jim Macnara from there? Turn into a bat, and fly off.

[ambic]

We need to maybe kill the priest.

Send a choice by PM: climb the stairs, shoot BrassHerald, and become a bat. Fly off, and return to human form in the servant quarters or something.

Im asking Pooky if we are able to 'Bat'

[ambic]

How much of a risk do you want to take? You could just shoot the priest in the open? Its an insane risk, but we are screwed. The chat makes it very clear Im her target.

[ambic]

We kill Ariel, we lose a vampire. We kill the priest, we stop anyone else doing the same thing. Its still 3 days before the next rooms.

[ambic]

Im very very close to doing this:

I stand up with a glazed look in my eyes. I run at Father McNamara, and

Attack Father McNamara

. Then I stand back, and ask "What on Earth?"

[ambic]

OK, lets do it. Its been a blast. I couldnt imagine a more fun outcome than getting you onside first.

[ambic]

I have sent a choice to attack. It is up to you if you do the same. Honestly, use your gun. At least theres a chance your running up the stairs will be missed.

[ambic]

We have no choice

Attack Father Jim McNamara (Brassherald)

Pretend to be hypnotised afterwards

Lillith is deciding to join or now, as we speak

[ambic]

I shall never forget the line "What the actual fuck". Made me laugh very hard.

[ambic]

Have you found anyone else you trust, or want to see win? We could tell SimplyTheBest about the cameras.

[ambic]

Pooky says I have to declare the attack, and asks me if Im insane

Yes

But apart from that, I have asked him if holy water can be made, or will harm us. If yes, or no answer given, I will attack. I could ask you to do it to protect me, but thats shamefaced, and I dont want that as my legacy. Im going to die trying to win.

[ambic]

There's a whole series of steps to make holy water

it's not like a priest just waves his hand over some water and it becomes blessed...

HUZZAH!

That priest is fucked though. He dies the moment I get him alone anywhere

[ambic]

Oh god... thats hilarious

[ambic]

One extra person in the bedroom will make life tough though. Recruiting is our priority I think.

Killing Ariel instead of recruiting her could be punishment for trying to make Holy Water.

[ambic]

I love the idea that he uses the CCTV cameras (as the distraction) while I kill him...

[ambic]

I GOT CONFIRMATION FROM POOKY THAT MY FATHER IS ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD

Huzzah

Simply The Best is a ghost or a fraud

[ambic]

If you posted in the bedroom "pull all the books out of the bookshelf one by one"

but in PM to me said "actually sneakily skip the one that opens the door" then I would not have the door open.

[ambic]

This is my intended Role Claim

I'm the head of the local Skeptics association. We've heard stories of ghosts and bizarre happenings in the house. While I am here as a guest, I'm here to find evidence that will debunk the going-on as an elaborate fraud, poor human pyschology, or other failings.

[ambic]

Yes

[ambic]

We need her to get to the bedroom still, or Pablito. Im thinking getting one is good, getting two might cause issues, but worth the risk.
Seelyne is still to be worked into the picture. I dont want three. We can also probably watch back the tapes of the scream.

[ambic]

SimplyTheBest has told me he is a ghost, and the pentagram is to free him.

[ambic]

I already know this. He is trying to solve his own murder, but doesnt know anything yet. He thinks he needs help to do it.

[ambic]

I think its ok, but its up to you.

[ambic]

Good idea. We have to kill him longterm to win

[ambic]

I dont know. My win condition is recruit or kill everyone. I guess that includes a ghost. Or not. No idea

[ambic]

Am contemplating sending to dsjstr

My phone is out of power now, but while it was powered, I was able to temporarily connect to the houses CCTV system. What I saw clearly was the man in the Solarium taking a weapon, and reading FH magazines - and I saw Fwesnid searching for a knife, and on not being able to find one, he took a Frying Pan. I found the WIFI password in the bedroom. "GlobalF!nanc!4lCris!s". If I can find a charger for my phone, I will connect again. So when you say to me that you only searched the fridge, I know that you are lying. But I still think you mean well.

But heres the really fascinating thing. Do you know why Fwesnids clothes don't fit properly? I didn't see anything incriminating him on him, but the clothes he wears exactly matches the style, color, fit and size stored in this very house.

[ambic]

What think you? His post seems aggressive to me, and I think I need to calm him down

[ambic]

I wont do it, but boy its tempting

[ambic]

"everyone looks quite alive to me"

I'm very glad you phrased it that way. See, I don't believe in ghosts, and the things supposedly going on. I'm very glad you said that indeed. I am looking for evidence that suggests the odd goings on in this house are faked, fraudulent, or hallucinatory. I dont know what that evidence will look like in the end. That evidence should, shall we say, "Scooby-Doo" the person behind it.

I've certainly found two stashes of Cocaine, and other drugs already.

"That's...quite interesting. I had heard of rumors of drugs being in the house, but have not seen them myself. You seem earnest, so I want to trust you. Ironically, I must admit I do strongly believe in the supernatural. But I see it as a both-and situation: I believe from what you have told me that there many things may be going on that may appear to be supernatural that aren't, but I also believe a certain supernatural presence exists here. I am happy to try to help you look for evidence for your goal, though, if you would have suggestions for what to search for. I believe we both are trying to understand this place and these people, as well as try to survive; to that end, I hope we can work together."

[ambic]

Im confirming with Pooky that we can recruit two at once. Im very worried about Iconeum showing up with a demand you come. It reads as a 'compel', so I will go there.

Im seriously thinking through what happens if you shoot him immediately on entry to the bedroom. If you immediately apologize and say you had to do it, he intended to kill you - or you had evidence that he was your fathers killer, I can step in and empathize. But I cant do much if more people show up.

[ambic]

Good idea. Pooky has toLd me i can knock people unconscious to recruit them too

[ambic]

Iconeum is wanting to come here for drugs. He invited me just now to share some with me.

[ambic]

I dont know what i do about iconeum, but if its us and him, i guess we have to kill him. The story will be that once in the bedroom he attacked you i guess. I might just carry out my lies to try recruit them and ditch if that doesnt work

[ambic]

Have asked. Will let you know

[ambic]

No. You cant

[ambic]

Room change is in about 5 hours. Im planning to be online within the hour of that. We can plan quickly then, based on who is there. We could even gamble on you attacking iconeum with the armoured briefcase. He only needs to be unconcious Plans are all Up in the air till then

[ambic]

Ok, Ive submitted Lounge.

What the heck though?

[ambic]

Ok, that change means my plan is out the door. I still need to trick Pablito and Ariel to repeating themselves three times. I was going to grab the suitcase and use that to help me lie. I'll have to get them to answer Yes, Yes, Yes. I dont want to risk knocking both of them out, but I will knock the other out if I have to.

[ambic]

Stick with the lounge. I dont care about getting two at once, it would have been kin....d to our game

[ambic]

Im here now. Thread not updating

[ambic]

Its up, and its just us two.

[ambic]

With ariel lol

[ambic]

THe first thing she does in the room is search for a frigging mirror. :/ If Pooky answers in the positive.... I wonder if I should just attack outright.

[ambic]

You may kill any players who are alone with you in a room when they are searching for an item or otherwise distracted - however they can roll for escape - and there will be combat. Alternatively you can use your hypnosis powers to enthrall females through your charm - if you manage to get a female to repeat herself three times - she will fall into a trance and you can convert her into a vampire slave. Vampire slaves can help you during combat by providing +1 to combat rolls or operate independently

[ambic]

She is clearly arming herself against vampires. If she doesnt triple reply before she finds a mirror we have a provlem. Right now she has a search for mirror in place so i can go now

[ambic]

Pooky confirmed i can attack to make unconcious too. Shall we? She finds a mirror we have an issue. If she doesn’t then she might attack first. I think she suspects

[ambic]

Done. Sending attack by pm. You do same

[ambic]

Sorry fell asleep. Was 3am. We have to post in thread. I post attack, you post support attack

[ambic]

We need to work out each others timezones so we can coordinate

[ambic]

Now

[ambic]

Posted. Hope this works

[ambic]

Argh, shoot her, quick.

[ambic]

Can you try to get that wooden stake off her then.

[ambic]

Man this game plays with my emotions. Being wooden staked is a sad way to go. I dont know what happens to you if I fail to live here. If I die, Pablito has your letters, but told me (s)he didnt. I odnt know why.

[ambic]

Hope so... but being armed with a wooden stake is... less than ideal

I know there werent mirrors. I got the impression she was going to try attacking us first when she didnt find any.

[ambic]

I had a feeling something wasnt right, and her win condition was to eliminate us.

[ambic]

The holy water, and some of the chat led me to conclude she wanted to say she was looking for vampires, and get us to help. With no mirror, I think she thought my physical description and Nexus description were the matches.

[ambic]

This is seriously fun though, right

[ambic]

Im checking

[ambic]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I think it worked! Man, I really do things the hard way

[ambic]

Im trying. Pooky told me suddenly, it might not work

[ambic]

It looks like its worked.

No mafia game has EVER come close to what I feel playing this. Ive never had to be scum, and deal with the victims like this.

[ambic]

Good luck.

Pablito has your notes. Hope you find them

[ambic]

Turns out she was immune to being recruited. She is a fully fledged vampire hunter
