OOC:
OK, where to? Are you all wanting to end the story with everyone running away or continue on?

OOC:
I believe Blake is going to set the building a blaze, then go from there.

OOC:
OK! Can you give me a brief rundown of how you would go about that in character?

OOC:
Daria is all for running the heck away. After what Amanda said about the drive been taken she has no idea on who took it, or where it was taken, so she's out of ideas, except for the one about running away fast.

She'll help Blake burn the place down if he asks.

OOC:
Same goes for Spencer.
This is my first CoC game, but from what I understand they often end with running away after confronting the horrors? More than happy to continue, this has been a lot of fun. But if this is the natural endpoint I’m good with that too!

"Guys, I’m a bit lost with how to burn this place down, do we just lite some rags on fire in the basement or something? I’m afraid I need help."

OOC:
Blake is more of an office and media nerd, not knowledgeable about destruction I’d think.
"Then I need to call the media and do my magic to make sure no one goes to the viewing."

"I dunno, there will be water sprinklers and all sorts that go off. I think if we pull electrical cables, and that type of thing, then set fire to the cars in the car park, we might get something going. I really don't know, I'm more your health foods chain store type person. Shull? Amanda? Any ideas?"

You sure Daria? You sound more like a budding criminal to me, Spencer chuckled. But we all just escaped here with our lives. I don’t think I want to go through all that so I can spend the rest of mine in jail. We’re the only ones who know about this. We need to stay alive and uncultured so we can keep fighting.

Amanda shrugs. "The things...whatever is behind all this freaky fanatic cult shit..is always ten steps ahead of us. No matter what we try to do to stop this invasion of mind and body from this church and its poisonous movie, I has all come to naught. I wish I had never come here."

Daria shrugs her shoulders at the other three.

"Well, then, let's get outta here and never come back, or look back."

She heads towards the exit at a fast walking pace.

The group makes their way out to the parked car. The cold wind blows and it sends shivers down spines as they walk away from the building. Looking up, the shattered window of Brian’s office is a dark smudge against the reflected street lights on the remainder of the glass building. Everyone piles into Amanda’s car and they leave the church behind in every way they can.

The next few days are a whirlwind. Occasional snippets of news that are heard between radio station changes or surfing tv channels talk about the death and miraculous resurrection of Verity Harrow, a contained gas explosion at the Church of Sunyata, a new summit being held on Climate Change, an influx of faithful followers of Ralph Chandler’s religion.

Daria pulls up to a few cars stopped at a stop light. As she waits, she glances to the side noticing a movie theater with prominent lettering on the display. "Jarod Woodward presents The Space Between". Daria sees a young couple walking up to open the doors of the theatre. She can hear their words through her cracked passenger window I hear it’s his best work yet, better than Plaything. We’ll see… they always say it’s good to draw in the crowds… I’m going to reserve judgment until after…
OOC:
Daria gets the final word!

She gently shakes her head.

"Ah, you have no idea. This will...will expand your mind and empty your world, hehehehe."

She starts giggling, then loud guffaws, unable to stop herself as spasms shake her body, and a pain blossoms in her chest. Tears run down her face as she ignores the blaring horns kicking up behind her, and she slowly rolls out into the junction...

Thank you all for playing! I hope you had as much fun telling this story as I did!
Nov 2, 2024 2:08 pm
Had a blast! Thanks so much for running it. Hope we get to play again in the future.

Thank you @Edmund_Balworth it was a lot of fun, and a very CoC ending :-)
