"This is sooooo shady. I was lit for this, and now we have to like wait for his aunt to come home and then, what, explain why Lando is puking in the bathroom?"
Mar 14, 2019 7:02 pm
OOC:
Huh? Lando as in Landon? Charlotte is not puking o.O Why everyone thought that this is her Aunt's cabin? x) Also, can we give our friend a name?
"Ugh." Complains the music student, as she lets her duffel bag go on top of an armchair or a sofa. She stares at Brindy with a raised eyebrow, proceeding to playfully scoff at her. "Why is this shady? Their Auntie clearly is in the city or something. The place is a mess because old people don't mind living in a mess. I mean, she does live in the middle of nowhere. Don't be paranoid." Says Charlotte, shrugging off any suspicion. "She probably left for a trip or something and didn't mind leaving the place like this."

Charlotte takes a good glance around her and mindlessly decides to check the leather book, quickly flicking through the pages. "So, let's make ourselves useful, yeah? Go open every window, the both of you. We'll decide how to clean the place afterward, unless you don't mind living like an animal." She shoots Yngwie a quite, narrowed, challenging glare. "Ta-ta. "

OOC:
I think in your previous post you called yourself Lando, plus you were the first one to the door, so makes sense for her to be your Aunt. She's not mine. :) Or is she related to none of us? Also, I vote that our friend is named Gary. Gary is scary.
Well, he can't argue with opening some windows. A bit of fresh air will be a welcome change. "Yeah'ollrite..." He'll take care of the kitchen windows first, and figure out a way to prop the back door open.

Sorry It's Aunt Mary. I think they're going off your use of Lando before
Landon flips through the book to find it to be a diary and reads the following:

What's everyone else doing?

Brindy checks each room, including the cellar, calling out "Hello". This may lead to her casing the joint for party supplies.
Mar 14, 2019 9:14 pm
Brindy finds the cellar door locked possibly from inside once she tries it. Something suddenly slams against the door, frantic scratching and clawing emanates from the other side of door. It was locked tight, but from the creaking sounds being nailed shut from the inside is doing as well now. The bolts are shaking and a gibbering sound could be heard behind the door, those upstairs hear it as well.

Brindy being impulsive but not foolish scrambles back up stairs. Yngwie looks at this on his way to the back door and Charlotte looks up from the book to see Brindy scrambling up the stairs from the basement towards them quiet surprised when the sound of wood creak and cracks. As she gets closer to the rest something flies up from downstairs pouncing at the top of the stairs looking at the trio.

The disfigured body, the black hair long dank and falling out in clumps on it's head looks towards the three of you with swollen eyes. It's mouth opens revealing needle like teeth. It's mouth slips wider unhinging showing a mauw from eye to ear as it lets out a guttural scream it's tattered sundress and jean jacket flapping about.

You've found Aunt Mary... or what probably use to be your friend's sweet Aunt Mary once upon a time.

Oh! Sorry, no, that was a mistake. It's Charlotte Landon.
"Hm. Weird..." Says Landon, to herself, as she stops flickering to read those two specific pages. "Hey, guys, have you heard about fourteen people being killed here in Sanc—" She raised her voice to make sure that everyone could hear her, but she's suddenly interrupted when she hears Brindy quickly making her way from the top of the cellar followed by the guttural noise. To say that the sudden noise scared her would be a simplification: She immediately jumps as she feels as her heart starts to race really fast, unconsciously knocking the book off the table with a sudden movement.

"H-Holy—" She says, or tries, although her voice comes off as hoarse when whatever that thing is suddenly leaps from downstairs.
OOC:
Oh no D: Can we do something, or for now we just roll for fear?

Brindy Sanity: 4/5; Lando Sanity: 6/6 just waiting on Cato to see if the last person flips their wig or not. You both got 4+ on the higher roll so you both passed. Q rolled a 1 on the spirit die though so I think her Sanity drops one. We'll start 'doing stuff' when we flip cards... I should get those ready.

Yngwie's reaction is completely different, almost fascination at the fucking awesome looking monster. "Holy shit! Wow, what the fuck?"
Mar 15, 2019 2:48 pm
Everyone is surprised but not looking it fully.
OOC:
No one has an edge that modifies cards on initiative so I'll deal them out.

Yngwie: Ace of Spades
Charlotte: Queen of Hearts
Smiling Mary: 10 of Hearts
Brindy: 5 of Diamonds

Cato's the first to act.

Is it still in the basement, on the stairs? I'm thinking I would slam the door to the basement if it's possible.
Mar 18, 2019 12:12 pm
OOC:
It broke down the door and is in the living room with the rest of you, you all have line of sight on Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary can 'see you too' through those swollen eyes.
Mar 18, 2019 2:07 pm
Ahh, well buggerit then. I'll hit her with a chair or other heavy piece of furniture I can find. (I'm assuming this is going to be a fight roll?)

Gripping the chair with two legs Yngwie destroys it on the woman's arm causing her to stumble before looking at Yngwie and makes a gurgling sound.

Mary is shaken from being hit by her own furniture, Charlotte is up.

OOC:
Oi, that's right! I coulda clubbed 'er with the gun instead... (He's a stupid boy)

OOC:
Does anyone have shooting? Charlotte can't actually fight. In fact, guys, it might be a good idea for you to upload your character's in the library, so we know what everyone can do. :) Also, one question: Are we starting the game with three bennies? And when would we recover them?
Charlotte is temporarily stunned, as she tries to slowly back away but simply can't thanks to her muscles that refuse to move, her hands slowly coming to rest on the hunting rifle. When Yngwie's hit connect, however, she winces, gripping the rifle's grip as she raises it defensively. She finally realizes what she has on her hands, gulping down and proceeding to aim as best as she can and press the trigger - She never ever shot a firearm before.
