[2018-07-25 22:04:02] <spookybee> The team is sent back to Maine to contain or terminate the discovered anomaly, after a tactical retreat two days prior. With the uncovered intel, they've been permitted a heavier weapons load. Currently, the dropship is soaring through the night with relative silence.
[2018-07-25 22:04:25] <Sax|Cloud> Nate is silent.
[2018-07-25 22:04:51] <War_> Maddy is…probably fuckin' asleep
[2018-07-25 22:05:11] <Varren> Moira is sitting across from Nathan. Smirking and aiming a finger gun at him
[2018-07-25 22:05:37] <Sax|Cloud> Nate nods to Moira.
[2018-07-25 22:07:11] <Soulless> Avery comes along.
[2018-07-25 22:07:25] <Varren> She waves a hand at him. "Its fine..shit happens." She is cleaning her gun currently. "Hows the hole?"
[2018-07-25 22:07:43] <Soulless> He is silent, and is settled beside Maddy. He's reading a book, sort of. He hasn't turned a page for most of the journey.
[2018-07-25 22:07:48] <Sax|Cloud> "Not too bad - bullets taken out without issue."
[2018-07-25 22:07:57] <Sax|Cloud> "And yours?"
[2018-07-25 22:08:54] <spookybee> Avery is brought up to date on the situation; An investigation into a missing persons report went awry on Sunday during a field operation, where a dangerous anomalous entity capable of cloaking itself in some manner was encountered. A tactical retreat was issued, and the team is being sent back to investigate.
[2018-07-25 22:09:25] <spookybee> The new objective is to perform an excursion and attempt to contain, neutralize, or terminate the entity in question.
[2018-07-25 22:09:45] <Varren> "Larger than yours. Stings a bit when I do basically anything but I will live. Not so bad." Moira scoot over towards maddy and takes a baggie of cookies out of his bag, eating one and putting it back. "Hopefully we wont repeat shit."
[2018-07-25 22:10:07] <War_> (how dare)
[2018-07-25 22:10:22] <Sax|Cloud> "Yeah… this time, I'm poking things with the bayonet first."
[2018-07-25 22:10:38] <Varren> "Oh, want one Nate?" She gestures to the bag where she put the cookies.
[2018-07-25 22:11:00] <Sax|Cloud> "Sure."
[2018-07-25 22:11:08] <War_> (gfdi)
[2018-07-25 22:11:30] <spookybee> "Oi! You lot think ye'r ready? We'll be landin' soon!" The pilot calls back to you all.
[2018-07-25 22:11:31] <Varren> "Right." She grabs the baggie again and hands Nate a cookie before sliding it away and brushing her hands clean over Maddy's lap.
[2018-07-25 22:12:07] <Soulless> Avery's hand grabs Moira;'s before she can brush her hands clean on MAddy;s lap.
[2018-07-25 22:12:18] <Soulless> He flips a page on his book with the other hand.
[2018-07-25 22:12:29] <Sax|Cloud> "Thanks."
[2018-07-25 22:12:40] <Sax|Cloud> Nate grins while nomming said cookie.
[2018-07-25 22:13:32] <Varren> Moira looks directly at Avery and casually with her free hand pats the hand that was captured. Still shaking off the crumbs.
[2018-07-25 22:13:40] <Varren> She doesnt blink as she does this
[2018-07-25 22:13:56] <Varren> "Yeah, sure thing Nate."
[2018-07-25 22:14:05] <spookybee> The dropship shudders as it halts its velocity, shaking you all up a good bit like a barrel of monkeys. :|
[2018-07-25 22:14:12] <Soulless> He lets her hand go, and then is shook!
[2018-07-25 22:14:28] <War_> Maddy is shaken awake!
[2018-07-25 22:14:47] <Varren> Moira is also shook and leaves her mess like nothing happened. Just looks at Nate still eating.
[2018-07-25 22:14:52] <Sax|Cloud> Nate is strapped in and braces.
[2018-07-25 22:15:04] <Sax|Cloud> Then finishes the cookie.
[2018-07-25 22:15:04] <Varren> "Are we there yet? Why so rough?"
[2018-07-25 22:15:26] <War_> "…where did you get the cookie."
[2018-07-25 22:15:29] <Sax|Cloud> "Please don't tell me you say those things in bed."
[2018-07-25 22:15:51] <spookybee> "… I did ask if ye was ready." He shrugs, before laying the bird to the ground! You can hear the hydraulic landing gear opening outside.
[2018-07-25 22:16:16] <Varren> "PUH. You wish. I ain't telling you shit-oh, yeah sure thing….Bob?"
[2018-07-25 22:16:29] <Sax|Cloud> Nate unbuckles and loads up.
[2018-07-25 22:16:33] <spookybee> "Mort."
[2018-07-25 22:16:45] <Varren> "Oh god that's worse."
[2018-07-25 22:16:46] <Sax|Cloud> "Just a question, Bellemonte." Nate grins.
[2018-07-25 22:17:09] <spookybee> He turns in the seat to look back at Moira, with a fatherly face of disapproval. ',:T
[2018-07-25 22:17:22] <War_> Maddy shiftyeyes and slowly stands, shouldering his bag
[2018-07-25 22:17:32] <spookybee> The bay opens up, letting the cool night air in. "I'll let'cha jump, next time."
[2018-07-25 22:18:22] <Sax|Cloud> Nate disembarks and kneels, covering the.ground ahead with his rifle
[2018-07-25 22:18:31] <spookybee> "Now get on out'a 'ere so I can shut the bay, this place gives me the heeby jeebies."
[2018-07-25 22:18:45] <Varren> Moira shrugs a little as if to say 'am I wrong though?' And stands. "Sounds like a better idea then going back in that fun house. I'd rather watch the dropship and let you go." She sounds sullen mostly, leaving the dropship behind Nate.
[2018-07-25 22:19:07] <Soulless> Avery hesitates.
[2018-07-25 22:19:12] <War_> Maddy follows out!
[2018-07-25 22:19:35] <Soulless> He then, leans over, seems to lose his balance, and with a noise that is a bit like a puppy falling down some stairs, is out of the dropship.
[2018-07-25 22:19:49] <spookybee> The night is just as silent as it was before, but with a much different aura, as if the events to unfold were coiled in anticipation for you all.
[2018-07-25 22:20:04] <Sax|Cloud> "Feel it?"
[2018-07-25 22:20:25] <War_> "Yeah…this isn't gonna go well."
[2018-07-25 22:20:29] <Soulless> "I don't feel anything."
[2018-07-25 22:20:50] <Varren> "Yeah…again. fuck this place." She huffs and makes sure her rifle is loaded. "Maddy dont run off this time."
[2018-07-25 22:21:03] <War_> Maddy's fitting a mask to the lower half of his face in anticipation of entering the house.
[2018-07-25 22:21:03] <War_> "Yeah, yeah, I won't…"

[2018-07-25 22:21:23] <Glacon> Sax|Cloud: Strongeye perception ahead: 8 (4df+7=4-, 0, 3+, 3+)
[2018-07-25 22:21:38] <spookybee> Nathan, absolutely nothing has changed in the woods since you were all last here.
[2018-07-25 22:21:50] <spookybee> Two days in the wilds and not a leaf has fallen or shifted.
[2018-07-25 22:22:01] <Sax|Cloud> "… still the same."
[2018-07-25 22:22:22] <Varren> Moira huffs and starts forward. "Creepily the same. Think it hunts in the woods too?"
[2018-07-25 22:22:29] <Sax|Cloud> He begins moving towards the mansion.
[2018-07-25 22:22:38] <Sax|Cloud> "Rather not find out."
[2018-07-25 22:22:59] <War_> "We did find a body out here…it might."
[2018-07-25 22:23:20] <Varren> "Yup." Shebis a little ahead, scouting and such. If nothing stops her she will stop by that very body! And check on the poor guy
[2018-07-25 22:25:01] <Sax|Cloud> Nate keeps his wits about him and his ears and eyes open
[2018-07-25 22:25:07] <Soulless> Avery begins to look for signs of anomalous behavior and the like.
[2018-07-25 22:25:09] <spookybee> The path is ahead, clear as it was before.
[2018-07-25 22:25:26] <spookybee> Avery, the only odd thing about these woods is the absolute lack of animal life.
[2018-07-25 22:25:34] <spookybee> Not even the buzzing of mosquitoes in your ear.
[2018-07-25 22:26:09] <Soulless> He tilts his head, and follows, quiet.

[2018-07-25 22:26:55] <Sax> To Avery: "It's absolutely dead."
[2018-07-25 22:27:01] <Sax> "Not even insects."
[2018-07-25 22:28:17] <spookybee> It's still there, Moira! As dry and unmoved as usual!
[2018-07-25 22:28:48] <Varren> "Nothing touched the body…how a out we go right inside?"
[2018-07-25 22:29:01] <Sax> "Got it."
[2018-07-25 22:29:05] <Sax> Nate leads the way.
[2018-07-25 22:29:34] <spookybee> It's certainly not a long hike before you all arrive at the decrepit mansion!.

[2018-07-25 22:29:56] <Sax> What's off about it?
[2018-07-25 22:30:01] <spookybee> The door, actually.
[2018-07-25 22:30:04] <spookybee> It's completely fine.
[2018-07-25 22:30:05] <Varren> Moira follows, let's him lead. "Ooh. Gonna kick in the door?" Her words dont have there usual bite, she actually seems a little withdrawn.
[2018-07-25 22:30:29] <spookybee> You'll recall that one of you put a bullet through the lock last time you were here, trying to escape.
[2018-07-25 22:30:31] <Varren> "We…shot the door to leave last time."

[2018-07-25 22:31:36] <spookybee> As before, the lights outside are all on, showing humanoid shadows standing in the windows, ignorant to you all.

[2018-07-25 22:32:11] <Soulless> Avery waves to a shadow.
[2018-07-25 22:32:14] <Sax> Nathan clears the door and frame, and tests the door first.

[2018-07-25 22:35:54] <Varren> Moira swings into the gap and right in, both gun and chest flashlight on. She moves them around steadily for where she recalls the doors are, looking for anything….horrific.

[2018-07-25 22:36:42] <spookybee> Moira, the foyer looks as it did before, dark and dusty. The lights are still on from when you were last here, though.
[2018-07-25 22:37:03] <Soulless> Avery looks for a source of the shadows.
[2018-07-25 22:37:38] <spookybee> There's a whole lot of nothing, Avery.
[2018-07-25 22:37:59] <spookybee> In fact, there aren't any lit candles or light sources where they would have been, if outside's view was correct.
[2018-07-25 22:38:06] <Varren> She still keeps the lights on because fuck the dark here. "Sshhhhhhh." She waits and looks around. "Its invisible most the time." She looks around for her floating knife because she is pretty sure she never pulled it out of the thing.
[2018-07-25 22:38:31] <spookybee> Clever, Moira! You don't see it, yet.
[2018-07-25 22:38:34] <Soulless> Avery is utterly silent. He sticks to the shadows.

[2018-07-25 22:39:15] <spookybee> The shadows are watching you, Avery.
[2018-07-25 22:39:34] <Soulless> Is this an anomalous effect?
[2018-07-25 22:39:36] <War_> Maddy is just padding along with the rest of the group, looking around. He's certainly not deviating too far from the group anyway
[2018-07-25 22:39:53] <spookybee> No, it just feels… Heavy.
[2018-07-25 22:40:03] <spookybee> It's like the house has no blind spots, even in the dark.

[2018-07-25 22:40:47] <Varren> Moira waits a while on one knee, just looking around. "We checked most the rooms last time….we should head upstairs."
[2018-07-25 22:40:47] <spookybee> Madison, you don't see anything! Well… Not at first.
[2018-07-25 22:40:55] <spookybee> Roll ANTIPSY, Madison.

[2018-07-25 22:42:03] <spookybee> Madison, between the two sets of stairs, you see a pole sticking up from the floor, like a street lamp.
[2018-07-25 22:42:18] <spookybee> On the facing side, there's a phone hanging on it, which starts to ring.
[2018-07-25 22:42:43] <Varren> Do the others see this?
[2018-07-25 22:42:52] <spookybee> Nope!
[2018-07-25 22:43:21] <War_> "…is it just me or is the bloody phone ringing again…?"
[2018-07-25 22:43:54] <Varren> "What?. Oh. Fuck." Moira frowns and raises her rifle.
[2018-07-25 22:43:59] <Varren> "Nope."
[2018-07-25 22:44:42] <War_> He points to between the stairs. "Over there?"
[2018-07-25 22:45:15] <spookybee> Moira, roll ANTIPSY.
[2018-07-25 22:45:23] <Varren> "Nah. You are seeing shot again." She silently is glad it's not her-fuck

[2018-07-25 22:47:26] <spookybee> You don't see the phone, but you do hear the ringing, but it sounds muffled… Or like an echo, from far away.
[2018-07-25 22:47:48] <Varren> "Wait. I hear it now. Dammit maddy."
[2018-07-25 22:47:52] <Varren> "Sounds far away."
[2018-07-25 22:48:25] <War_> …Maddy walks towards it. And draws his Beretta
[2018-07-25 22:48:57] <spookybee> It's the same kind of phone from the kitchen, actually. Old, with an ivory, tube-like handle and two horn-style receiver and emitter.
[2018-07-25 22:49:02] <spookybee> It continues to ring.
[2018-07-25 22:49:27] <War_> He decides to shoot the thing point-blank range because FUUUUUCK that
[2018-07-25 22:50:01] <Soulless> Avery looks over, tries to examine it.
[2018-07-25 22:50:20] <spookybee> Avery… There's nothing there.
[2018-07-25 22:50:40] <spookybee> For Madison, the phone explodes into a shower of sparks and metal, before fading with the next blink.
[2018-07-25 22:51:00] <Soulless> Avery cocks his head to the side.
[2018-07-25 22:51:11] <War_> "Bloody illusions," he grumbles. "I am /not/ doing this again."
[2018-07-25 22:51:19] <War_> He makes his way back over
[2018-07-25 22:51:44] <spookybee> From the main room, it seems like the house is the same layout as it was before.
[2018-07-25 22:52:14] <Soulless> He clears his throat for attention.

[2018-07-25 22:53:21] <Varren> Moira stands and takes a few steps. She then stops and looks at Avery for a whole two seconds. She directs her attention else where, watching the room for movement while listening.

[2018-07-25 22:58:53] <spookybee> Of the rooms explored upstairs, only the bedrooms are unknown, with the Shambler still alive, supposedly, in the dressing room.

[2018-07-25 23:00:33] <spookybee> Both of them are!
[2018-07-25 23:00:33] <Varren> Moira follows, a few steps behind with rifle shouldered
[2018-07-25 23:00:48] <spookybee> Once you get to the top of the stairs, it's clear something isn't right.
[2018-07-25 23:01:00] <spookybee> The dressing room door is hanging open, as is the closet inside of it.
[2018-07-25 23:01:01] <Sax|Cloud> Nate stops.

[2018-07-25 23:01:55] <Varren> "……." she looks about ready to slap him
[2018-07-25 23:02:03] <spookybee> It's the dining room door, Avery, just ahead of the stairs. Not out of the way.
[2018-07-25 23:02:23] <War_> "I locked it in the closet! The thing was practically brainless I thought it would die anyway!"
[2018-07-25 23:02:23] <Soulless> Avery heads to it, presses his ear against it.

[2018-07-25 23:09:01] <Soulless> Avery says, "if there are creatures there, it must know we are here already." He motions to Moira.
[2018-07-25 23:09:16] <Soulless> "If it has not attacked, its hostility is questionable."

[2018-07-25 23:19:20] <Soulless> Avery steps to the nearest bedroom and goes to clear it.
[2018-07-25 23:19:37] <Varren> Moira moves to the second one and boots the door open, raising her rifle up
[2018-07-25 23:19:55] <War_> Maddy heads to look at the dressing room and figure out how the hell the wiggleface fucker escaped
[2018-07-25 23:20:17] <Sax> Nate kneels and keeps his weapon pointed at the dining room door.
[2018-07-25 23:20:30] <spookybee> One moment.
[2018-07-25 23:21:31] <spookybee> Moira, you kick the door in to reveal a large bedroom. Not as large as the Master Bedroom, but certainly nothing to scoff at. It's got a full bed, a dresser, a large mirror, and some old, scattered clothes.
[2018-07-25 23:22:59] <Varren> No tentacle faces?
[2018-07-25 23:23:49] <spookybee> Not that you can see, no!
[2018-07-25 23:24:05] <Soulless> What does
[2018-07-25 23:24:08] <Soulless> Avery find?
[2018-07-25 23:25:00] <spookybee> Avery opens the first bedroom door to find a much smaller bedroom- More akin to a servants' quarters than a true bedroom.
[2018-07-25 23:25:21] <Soulless> Avery steps in, and begins to open any closets or persons-sized hidey holes.
[2018-07-25 23:25:53] <Varren> Moira steps into the rooms and pokes around, kicks the bedframe once, looks for a closet or wardrobe
[2018-07-25 23:25:58] <spookybee> Two cots lie on either wall, and a dresser near the door. On the far wall, there's a large splotch of soot burned into the wall, save for a spot in the shape of a man's silhouette, looking as if he was clawing at the wall when it was immolated..
[2018-07-25 23:26:05] <spookybee> Moira, no closet, none for Avery either!
[2018-07-25 23:26:24] <Soulless> Avery sits by the splotch of soot.
[2018-07-25 23:26:43] <Soulless> "Hello.Were you angry? Did it hurt you?"
[2018-07-25 23:27:19] <spookybee> … Avery, roll ANTIPSY.

[2018-07-25 23:29:09] <spookybee> Avery just barely makes it, and hears only the silent remains of the room's long-gone occupants.
[2018-07-25 23:29:25] <spookybee> Moira, you don't find anything of value, necessarily… But you do find /something/.
[2018-07-25 23:29:42] <spookybee> A long, black cloak, with a hood attached.
[2018-07-25 23:29:53] <War_> Maddy is poking around the dressing room, trying to see how the wiggly fuck escaped
[2018-07-25 23:30:12] <spookybee> Maddy, roll PERC to investigate!
[2018-07-25 23:30:18] <War_> 4df+4 owo

[2018-07-25 23:30:45] <Soulless> He then gets up, and heads back to Nathan, shakes his head.
[2018-07-25 23:30:53] <spookybee> It seems the door knob's at an odd angle… You may have put it into a starved frenzy when you encountered it the first time, enough to force its way out.
[2018-07-25 23:31:00] <Varren> Oh FUCK YEAH

[2018-07-25 23:32:40] <spookybee> Very much like dried blood against your back, Moira.
[2018-07-25 23:32:55] <spookybee> Nothing Madison! It seems to have escaped the room and not returned.
[2018-07-25 23:33:12] <War_> Maddy returns to the others, in that case. "Got nothing."
[2018-07-25 23:33:27] <Varren> She slowly pulls it off and looks at the inside, not really all that miffed outside how fucking creepy this place is.
[2018-07-25 23:34:31] <spookybee> There is indeed dried blood inside the cloak, as well as what looks like the entry point of a stabbing knife, letting a little light shine through the hole.
[2018-07-25 23:34:37] <Sax> Nate looks to Moira for an answer.
[2018-07-25 23:34:44] <Sax> As well as looking at her latest acquisition.
[2018-07-25 23:35:51] <Soulless> Avery sits down against the door, closes his eyes.
[2018-07-25 23:36:25] <Varren> She frowns and hums to to herself. "Think i found where the bloody knife went in.." she folds a the cloak up and tucks it away. Nothing else?
[2018-07-25 23:36:43] <spookybee> Nothing else in the room, no.
[2018-07-25 23:36:57] <spookybee> Avery… You feel the darkness behind your eyes whispering.
[2018-07-25 23:37:01] <Varren> Then she leaves and waves at Nate. "Nuthin."

[2018-07-25 23:37:15] <Sax> He nods grimly, and looks to the dining hall.
[2018-07-25 23:37:18] <Sax> "Expect company."
[2018-07-25 23:37:34] <War_> Maddy instead draws his knife rather than his gun this time.
[2018-07-25 23:37:41] <Varren> Moira steps over and means on the wall next to the door.
[2018-07-25 23:38:23] <spookybee> The night is silent.
[2018-07-25 23:39:02] <Sax> Nate mounts the bayonet, and looks to the others.
[2018-07-25 23:39:04] <Sax> "Ready."
[2018-07-25 23:39:39] <Soulless> Avery listens to the whispers.
[2018-07-25 23:39:43] <Varren> "…" she nods. She isnt but she doesn't really have a choice
[2018-07-25 23:39:46] <Soulless> He tries to hear.
[2018-07-25 23:39:51] <Soulless> Then he gets up, and readies.
[2018-07-25 23:40:02] <spookybee> It's vague and unintelligible.
[2018-07-25 23:41:46] <Sax> "I'm in first. Bellemonte and Harpur, watch my back."
[2018-07-25 23:42:08] <Varren> She nods again and waits
[2018-07-25 23:42:12] <War_> Maddy nods
[2018-07-25 23:42:30] <Soulless> Avery waits.
[2018-07-25 23:43:17] <Sax> Nathan opens the door, and hops back.
[2018-07-25 23:44:42] <spookybee> … This isn't the dining hall, Nathan.
[2018-07-25 23:44:52] <Varren> Moira aims! Oh.
[2018-07-25 23:44:54] <spookybee> You're certainly on the second floor, and you know you've been behind this door before.
[2018-07-25 23:45:02] <spookybee> But this isn't the dining hall.

[2018-07-25 23:46:02] <Varren> Moira peeks in. What room is it?
[2018-07-25 23:46:09] <War_> "…the hell?"
[2018-07-25 23:46:26] <spookybee> You open the door to find a decent sized room, with relatively little decoration, and one door on the other side. There's a few small tables against the walls, and some pictures, though none of the people in them have discernible faces.
[2018-07-25 23:46:36] <Soulless> Avery begins to step in.
[2018-07-25 23:46:46] <Soulless> Can he roll science to understand what's going on?

[2018-07-25 23:48:30] <spookybee> Avery… You're not sure exactly what's going on here. You know that this room isn't on the house's layout. Along the door frame, there's some strange seam, as if this room's been attached just now, the layout rearranged like a Rubik's' Cube.

[2018-07-25 23:49:27] <spookybee> It's perfectly aligned with the original door frame.

[2018-07-25 23:52:43] <spookybee> Moira, one of the pictures your thumb lands on is that of a colonial woman, beautiful in figure and complexion, though her face is nonexistent. As your thumb lands over her photo, you hear a small, feminine gasp.
[2018-07-25 23:53:02] <Soulless> Avery begins to head to the next door. "We may not be able to come back the way we came."
[2018-07-25 23:53:15] <spookybee> The next door sits idle!
[2018-07-25 23:53:44] <Soulless> He presses his ear against it.
[2018-07-25 23:53:47] <Sax> Nate makes the call. «Command, Audley here.»
[2018-07-25 23:53:54] <spookybee> No noise!
[2018-07-25 23:54:18] <Varren> Moira pauses and let's her rifle fall to hang from its strap on her shoulder. She produces a knife and gently taps the picture glass.
[2018-07-25 23:54:40] <spookybee> No response yet, Audley.
[2018-07-25 23:54:51] <spookybee> There seems to be some kind of interference in here.

[2018-07-25 23:56:12] <spookybee> They do, but they're empty, Madison.
[2018-07-25 23:56:26] <Sax> To Moira: "Ye?"
[2018-07-25 23:57:10] <Varren> "Got a thing here." She puts away the knife a motions the lady to come back out. "Ya hear me tiny picture lady?"
[2018-07-25 23:57:22] <Sax> Nathan observes.
[2018-07-25 23:57:33] <War_> "…is. Is she talking to the photographs or am I hearing things."
[2018-07-25 23:58:10] <Sax> Nathan observes from safety, and watches.
[2018-07-25 23:58:32] <spookybee> Moira, the woman's gone. And while nobody heard or saw the woman moving, she's definitely gone.
[2018-07-25 23:59:06] <Sax> "…"
[2018-07-25 23:59:24] <Varren> "Shit. She is gone." Moira contemplates tossing the frame carelessly for a moment
[2018-07-25 23:59:40] <War_> "…do we move on to the other door?"
[2018-07-25 23:59:52] <Varren> "Faceless lady in the picture reacted to my touch and to seeing my knife."
[2018-07-26 00:00:42] <spookybee> The frame crashes on the floor, scattering glass around the little area! Oh well.

[2018-07-26 00:01:07] <Sax> Nathan gets up and follows along to the other door.

[2018-07-26 00:02:10] <spookybee> The door's still there, and as far as anybody can tell, no other loud noises have gone off elsewhere in the house.
[2018-07-26 00:02:23] <Varren> Moira follows nathan then
[2018-07-26 00:03:15] <Sax> Nathan makes sure everyone else is ready, then opens the door.
[2018-07-26 00:03:22] <spookybee> …
[2018-07-26 00:03:33] <War_> Maddy is following..
[2018-07-26 00:03:35] <spookybee> You open the door to find a decent sized room, with relatively little decoration, and one door on the other side. There's a few small tables against the walls, and some pictures, though none of the people in them have discernible faces.
[2018-07-26 00:03:51] <Soulless> Avery looks into the next room. He goes to a picture, and looks at it very sternly!
[2018-07-26 00:03:58] <Sax> "A loop?"
[2018-07-26 00:04:05] <War_> "Oh /hell/ no."
[2018-07-26 00:04:19] <Sax> Nathan looks behind him to the other door.
[2018-07-26 00:04:27] <spookybee> Avery, you look down at the picture… And when you look up, you realize you're in the second floor balcony again.
[2018-07-26 00:04:35] <spookybee> Nathan, you're looking behind you, down the second floor stairway.
[2018-07-26 00:04:59] <Sax> "…"

[2018-07-26 00:08:37] <spookybee> … Moira, you thought someone would have entered the room right now, you've all been staring into it for long enough. There's a shattered picture frame on the floor. Weird, wonder who did that.
[2018-07-26 00:09:12] <War_> 4df+1 shit sorry

[2018-07-26 00:09:32] <Varren> "Oopse." She shrugs at the picture frame and goes to walk into the copy room
[2018-07-26 00:10:08] <spookybee> Maddy, you're back outside the room on the balcony, like everyone else. You don't remember going into the room.
[2018-07-26 00:10:52] <War_> "Soooo we gonna…go in…?"
[2018-07-26 00:10:58] <spookybee> …
[2018-07-26 00:11:03] <spookybee> Well this is just bad luck.
[2018-07-26 00:11:18] <spookybee> Who's looking into the room right now?
[2018-07-26 00:11:36] <Varren> ……….like, the copy room?
[2018-07-26 00:11:39] <War_> Maddy is!
[2018-07-26 00:11:53] <spookybee> The room with the broken picture!
[2018-07-26 00:12:07] <Varren> I think that is just moira..
[2018-07-26 00:12:17] <Varren> Everyone else shrugged the mental thing
[2018-07-26 00:12:38] <Soulless> Avery is in copy room.
[2018-07-26 00:12:39] <spookybee> Oh, it was more than physical. You've all returned to the balcony somehow, without noticing.
[2018-07-26 00:12:51] <spookybee> *More than mental
[2018-07-26 00:13:01] <Soulless> Avery is on the balcony.
[2018-07-26 00:13:07] <Soulless> He checks again for seams.
[2018-07-26 00:13:15] <Varren> Oh I didnt realize she had. She is looking in
[2018-07-26 00:13:18] <spookybee> They're still there!
[2018-07-26 00:13:24] <spookybee> And here's the unlucky part.
[2018-07-26 00:13:28] <War_> Maddy is lookin' in too..
[2018-07-26 00:13:37] <Varren> She even stepped towards the door
[2018-07-26 00:13:42] <spookybee> The door knob on the other side of the picture room starts to turn.
[2018-07-26 00:13:50] <Soulless> Avery looks at the picture, quietly.
[2018-07-26 00:14:12] <Sax> "…"
[2018-07-26 00:14:16] <Varren> Moira grabs for her rifle and shoulders it!
[2018-07-26 00:14:22] <Sax> Nathan kneels, taking aiming at the door.
[2018-07-26 00:14:59] <War_> "Don't shoot, remember?"
[2018-07-26 00:14:59] <spookybee> The door swings open! You all see…
[2018-07-26 00:15:05] <spookybee> A knife.
[2018-07-26 00:15:31] <War_> "…"
[2018-07-26 00:15:44] <spookybee> It's hanging in mid-air, point facing the ground.
[2018-07-26 00:15:45] <Sax> Nathan's holding steady.
[2018-07-26 00:15:47] <War_> He swaps for his own gun
[2018-07-26 00:16:09] <Varren> Moira frowns deeply and takes a few steps back
[2018-07-26 00:16:16] <Sax> Nathan gets behind a wall, in case that knife decides to fly.
[2018-07-26 00:16:39] <War_> Can maddy use his sight to try and see the full form of this thing?
[2018-07-26 00:16:59] <Varren> Moira knows that knife, it's her knife that she stabbed into that giant nightmare that bit her
[2018-07-26 00:17:11] <spookybee> He can try, yes. But the cloud of Moira's vaguely-shaped blood isn't there this time.
[2018-07-26 00:17:28] <War_> 4df+7 i owo into the darkness anyway
[2018-07-26 00:17:29] <Glacon> War_: i owo into the darkness anyway: 7 (4df+7=4-, 0, 0, 3+)

[2018-07-26 00:18:28] <spookybee> Nothing except for the knife.
[2018-07-26 00:18:29] <Varren> Moira takes a couple more steps back, rifle still aimed at the area around the knife.
[2018-07-26 00:18:38] <Varren> Is it moving?
[2018-07-26 00:18:41] <War_> "What the hell are these things…? It's not alive whatever it is -"
[2018-07-26 00:18:55] <spookybee> It's shifting as if its in a living creature, yes.

[2018-07-26 00:23:38] <spookybee> There's no splatter of blood, but there's a gross, wet sound and some strange inhuman scream from many mouths, before the knife- And whatever it's buried in, barrels past the lot of you with blustering speed, and out of the room!

[2018-07-26 00:24:51] <Varren> Moira screeches and dives out of the way, scrambles back up and follows the thing as with another pull of the trigger and a curse or two, less to harm more to tell it to fuck off.
[2018-07-26 00:25:19] <Sax> "…"
[2018-07-26 00:25:27] <spookybee> Avery, the thing in question is completely invisible… Not camouflaged like a chameleon, but it's as if its body is completely see-through. But judging by the knife stuck in it, and its visible blade, the objects inside of it aren't.
[2018-07-26 00:25:41] <War_> "So it isn't alive, has no pulse, and /we can't see it."/
[2018-07-26 00:25:52] <War_> "Freaking. Great — WHY did we sign up for this?!"
[2018-07-26 00:25:55] <Soulless> "…No camoflage. No pulse. The body is transparent."
[2018-07-26 00:26:07] <Soulless> "Inside isn't transparent. So it doesn't eat. Ir must have something else."
[2018-07-26 00:26:17] <War_> "It does eat."
[2018-07-26 00:26:25] <War_> "Or rather…it draws blood."
[2018-07-26 00:26:41] <Sax> "What's the chance we can subdue it?"
[2018-07-26 00:26:44] <spookybee> It seemed visible after sucking a bit out of Moira's leg!
[2018-07-26 00:26:51] <Soulless> "Draws blood?"
[2018-07-26 00:26:52] <spookybee> Or, at least the blood spreading through it was.
[2018-07-26 00:26:59] <War_> "When it does we can see it. Sort of."
[2018-07-26 00:27:02] <Soulless> "Yes."
[2018-07-26 00:27:03] <Sax> Nathan checks his round count for the mag.
[2018-07-26 00:27:05] <Soulless> "We will need bait."
[2018-07-26 00:27:10] <Sax> And waits.
[2018-07-26 00:27:11] <Soulless> "I will be bait."
[2018-07-26 00:27:17] <War_> "We are not - YOU are not -"
[2018-07-26 00:27:44] <Varren> "I am okay with this."
[2018-07-26 00:28:00] <War_> "What -?! NO -"
[2018-07-26 00:28:02] <Varren> Moira keeps ab eye out for the knife
[2018-07-26 00:29:32] <spookybee> It's not in sight, Moira!
[2018-07-26 00:29:40] <Soulless> Avery follows where the knife went.
[2018-07-26 00:30:11] <Sax> "Whatever it is, try not to let that knife cut you up."
[2018-07-26 00:30:14] <War_> "…don't all hurry to bloody stop him!" Maddy snaps, following after Avery. "You are /not/ turning yourself into live bait."
[2018-07-26 00:30:51] <Varren> Moira glances back at the picture room. "Leave it for now. We need to…Nate, that's the knife I stabbed it with when it bit me." She shakes her head. "Let's see where it came from."
[2018-07-26 00:30:57] <Soulless> "You are a medic. Nathan can shoot."
[2018-07-26 00:31:03] <Soulless> "I can bait."
[2018-07-26 00:31:11] <Varren> "It could gone anywhere but now it might look for us. And he has a point."
[2018-07-26 00:31:12] <Soulless> He keeps going.
[2018-07-26 00:31:14] <War_> "That is NOT an EXCUSE -"
[2018-07-26 00:31:30] <Soulless> "I trust you will heal me after."
[2018-07-26 00:31:54] <War_> "No, I won't, because /you are not throwing yourself to this thing to begin with."/
[2018-07-26 00:31:55] <spookybee> The kitchen door swings open, then slams shut.
[2018-07-26 00:32:04] <War_> "So help me God Avery you stop right now."
[2018-07-26 00:32:16] <Soulless> Avery follows. "I don't believe in God."
[2018-07-26 00:32:36] <War_> Maddy looks ready to headbutt into the damn wall.
[2018-07-26 00:32:50] <War_> He looks back to the other two, "One of you /please/ stop him."
[2018-07-26 00:33:17] <Varren> Moira sighs. "Not even gonna check out the weird room again?" She looks at nathan and shrugs. "We gonna follow?" She snaps to looks at maddy. "God, it's like dealing with someone wanting a shot, isnt it?"

[2018-07-26 00:40:42] <spookybee> Avery, feel free to inspect it!
[2018-07-26 00:41:07] <Varren> Just making sure no one dies and she doesnt get tentacled in the face
[2018-07-26 00:41:09] <Soulless> Avery kneels and inspects it, to see if there is anything alive he can take with him.
[2018-07-26 00:41:29] <spookybee> Avery, you find that you're correct, with the hole in its skull.
[2018-07-26 00:41:33] <spookybee> … Kind of correct, at least.
[2018-07-26 00:42:07] <Soulless> What does he see?
[2018-07-26 00:42:51] <spookybee> Something akin to a brain is inside of its skull, like a mix of a brain, and some semi-transparent slug type creature. It's as if the host's brain is slowly metamorphosing into another one of these things, using the body's mass to feed the change.
[2018-07-26 00:43:23] <Sax> "Bellemonte, I got hits in. It's down?"
[2018-07-26 00:43:29] <Sax> Nate's focused for other threats.
[2018-07-26 00:43:32] <Soulless> Avery watches, then cuts off the head with a knife. This takes quite a bit of effort on his part.
[2018-07-26 00:43:45] <spookybee> … He'll find that it actually doesn't.
[2018-07-26 00:43:52] <Soulless> "The brain. It's alive, thank goodness."
[2018-07-26 00:43:55] <spookybee> The flesh tears like paper, and bone crumbles to dust.
[2018-07-26 00:44:01] <Soulless> "The brain will give it sustenance for some time."
[2018-07-26 00:44:11] <Soulless> He delicately puts it in a baggie.
[2018-07-26 00:44:16] <Soulless> *the head in a baggie
[2018-07-26 00:44:23] <spookybee> Groddy! But it's done!
[2018-07-26 00:44:28] <Varren> "You heard the man……which worries me he seems excited in a weird I have no soul kinda way."
[2018-07-26 00:44:52] <Sax> "We'll worry about his lack of soul later."
[2018-07-26 00:44:58] <Sax> "There's still the bigger threat."
[2018-07-26 00:45:02] ⇐ Krydderi quit (editiloS.ni.deifitcnaS|gnisiR#editiloS.ni.deifitcnaS|gnisiR): Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
[2018-07-26 00:45:17] <War_> "…I am not putting that in my bag, Avery."
[2018-07-26 00:45:24] <Soulless> "It will go in my bag."
[2018-07-26 00:45:56] <Varren> Moira murmurs something under her breath and sighs
[2018-07-26 00:46:12] → Orionbasher joined (dleif.nerrab.ym|dloheb#dleif.nerrab.ym|dloheb)

[2018-07-26 00:46:55] <Sax> "… I'll cover rear. You want to lead?"
[2018-07-26 00:47:25] <Soulless> Avery moves to follow. He is holding the bag to himself, as if it is precious to him.
[2018-07-26 00:48:05] <Varren> "The thing is in the kitchen. I will happy take this door." She glances at Avery and cringes a little then steps into the picture room again!
[2018-07-26 00:48:06] <War_> Maddy…follows, but is staying the fuck away from the remaining body and the head…
[2018-07-26 00:48:38] <spookybee> The corpse is beginning to rapidly fall apart, now that the head is disembodied.
[2018-07-26 00:49:32] <spookybee> The room is the same as it was when you first looked in, Moira. The picture remains broken on the floor!
[2018-07-26 00:50:52] <Varren> She turns out over with her boot! Is there a lady?
[2018-07-26 00:51:06] <spookybee> There isn't, nope. It's an empty landscape now.
[2018-07-26 00:51:28] <Sax> Nate covers the team, making sure that flyingknifefuck doesn't chase them.
[2018-07-26 00:51:47] <War_> "Want me to go for the door or are you taking lead…?"
[2018-07-26 00:52:10] <Varren> Moira then goes to the opposite door and opens it!oh wait, she gestures for maddy to do it. "Go for it."
[2018-07-26 00:52:19] * TeslaTornado → TT||Eating
[2018-07-26 00:52:45] <War_> Maddy, with a gun in one hand, and the doorhandle held in the other, slowly opens it
[2018-07-26 00:53:15] <Soulless> Avery cradles the head, watching.
[2018-07-26 00:53:46] <spookybee> The door opens, revealing a much larger room than the others, nearly the same size as the primary foyer. It's full of what looks like astrological equipment, including a large telescope sticking out of the room, into the night sky!
[2018-07-26 00:54:13] <Varren> Moira steps into the room!
[2018-07-26 00:54:32] <Varren> "Oh, nice…fancy stuff…maybe you can see the thing.."
[2018-07-26 00:54:40] <Sax> Nate tails the team, shuffling behind them.
[2018-07-26 00:54:45] <Varren> 4df+7 gimme valuable shinies!?
[2018-07-26 00:54:45] <Glacon> Varren: gimme valuable shinies!?: 5 (4df+7=4-, 4-, 0, 0)
[2018-07-26 00:54:46] <War_> "Oh my God, is that a telescope -?!"
[2018-07-26 00:55:06] <spookybee> … Moira.
[2018-07-26 00:55:06] <Soulless> Avery looks for more shamblers, more enemies, more anomalies.
[2018-07-26 00:55:11] <War_> Maddy looks to the others, and would scoot over to it if there's no objection
[2018-07-26 00:55:16] <spookybee> You find a small, diamond ring on the floor.
[2018-07-26 00:55:34] <Sax> Nate has no time to look for shinies. He's making sure no freakyfucks are on their way to gangbang the team.
[2018-07-26 00:55:41] <spookybee> You don't see anything else moving, Avery. There's another door leading to what looks about supply-closet sized, but it's shut.
[2018-07-26 00:55:42] <Varren> Fucking score. She picks ot up and looks it over with a raised eyebrow
[2018-07-26 00:56:00] <War_> Maddy makes his way to the telescope and immediately tries to look through it
[2018-07-26 00:56:10] <Varren> By the way, she has that ribbon to tie back her hair currently
[2018-07-26 00:56:52] <spookybee> Has everyone entered the room?
[2018-07-26 00:57:06] <Varren> <_< is it too late to say no?
[2018-07-26 00:57:17] <spookybee> TOO LATE.
[2018-07-26 00:57:42] <Sax> Everyone's in.
[2018-07-26 00:58:05] <spookybee> You hear the door shut behind you softly, the latch clicking.
[2018-07-26 00:58:18] <Sax> Nate goes to the door, and tries to open it.
[2018-07-26 00:58:33] <War_> Maddy's too busy gawking through a telescope to notice…
[2018-07-26 00:58:43] <Varren> Moira jerks and tucks the ring away for now. "We stuck Nate?"
[2018-07-26 00:58:45] <spookybee> … It opens, revealing a vintage cage-style elevator, and not the room you were just in.
[2018-07-26 00:59:00] <spookybee> Madison, you look into the night sky.
[2018-07-26 00:59:16] <spookybee> The night is extremely clear, with stars shining. You can see the entirety of the cosmos… Roll ANTIPSY.

[2018-07-26 00:59:47] <spookybee> That was just for Maddy.
[2018-07-26 00:59:54] <Sax> (my bad!)
[2018-07-26 01:00:04] <spookybee> Madison, you perceive the universe.
[2018-07-26 01:00:06] <Sax> Nate does what he does best, and keeps looking out for wrigglyfucks.
[2018-07-26 01:01:24] <spookybee> You see two stars shining brightly in the sky, particularly luminescent. You see the purples and blues and pinks of the universe, swirling chaotically with one another, but most importantly, those two stars. They appear as a pair of eyes, staring back down into the telescope at you, and you feel the universe rush into you, flooding you with immense loneliness.
[2018-07-26 01:01:28] <Soulless> 4df+8 antipsychic
[2018-07-26 01:01:29] <Glacon> Soulless: antipsychic: 9 (4df+8=4-, 3+, 0, 3+)

[2018-07-26 01:01:38] <Soulless> my bad
[2018-07-26 01:01:40] <spookybee> lol
[2018-07-26 01:01:52] <spookybee> Nathan sees nothing!
[2018-07-26 01:01:54] <Soulless> Avery opens the supply closet.
[2018-07-26 01:02:40] <War_> Maddy's expression of wonder fades to something far more sombre
[2018-07-26 01:02:41] <spookybee> Avery finds the people that used to live in this mansion, in the room he opens.
[2018-07-26 01:02:50] <Sax> Nothing doesn't exclude everything, as he keeps his guard up.
[2018-07-26 01:03:04] <War_> He pulls himself away from the telescope
[2018-07-26 01:03:06] <spookybee> Behind this door is something that used to be a small librarium.
[2018-07-26 01:03:14] <spookybee> But it's now something much darker.
[2018-07-26 01:03:43] <Varren> Moira approaches maddy and raises and eyebrow. "What?" She peeks into the scopey bit
[2018-07-26 01:04:35] <Soulless> Avery walks into the librarium.
[2018-07-26 01:04:44] <Sax> Nate watches Avery's movements.
[2018-07-26 01:05:02] <spookybee> The room is long and rectangular, and in the back is a large iron cage. The walls are splattered and stained dark brown, and hanging from the ceiling is a rope with a dried, bled-out corpse, wearing a white summer dress. Various human remains are scattered around the room as well, butchered and defiled in various perverse manners. But all are dry and old, with no scent but old dust.
[2018-07-26 01:06:09] <War_> Maddy looks over, "What've you found…?"
[2018-07-26 01:06:24] <Soulless> Avery keeps walking, towards the cage, stepping over the corpses as necessary.
[2018-07-26 01:06:43] <Soulless> His eyes are glassy, unseeing. They slide over the greusomeness like water over glass.
[2018-07-26 01:07:03] <Sax> Nate looks into the librarium, and his eyes widen.
[2018-07-26 01:07:06] <Sax> "What the fu…"
[2018-07-26 01:07:14] <spookybee> The door of the cage hangs open, its lock undamaged and hanging from the door. Whatever was inside of it was let out on purpose.
[2018-07-26 01:07:29] <spookybee> As well, the bodies are all various ages. Some adults, some children, and some elders.
[2018-07-26 01:08:16] <War_> Maddy moves over, takes one look, and reels away from the doorway
[2018-07-26 01:08:16] <War_> " - Jesus C-hrist —"
[2018-07-26 01:08:24] <Soulless> He tries to examine the bodies, the cage, looks for notes, books, ritual materials.
[2018-07-26 01:08:32] <Sax> Anyone that may have appeared in missing persons' report?
[2018-07-26 01:08:46] <Soulless> He just casually shuffles his hand over corpses, his other hand cradling the head in a bag.
[2018-07-26 01:08:48] <Varren> Moira looks away from the telescope because everyone is freaking out about something. "The fuck is-o h." She steps in and glances around.
[2018-07-26 01:08:51] <spookybee> No, actually. These bodies are far too old to have been in the reports.
[2018-07-26 01:09:04] <Sax> A breath of relief.
[2018-07-26 01:09:12] <Sax> Ish.
[2018-07-26 01:09:38] <Varren> 4df+7 new shinies!? Actually, more so interesting or culty stuff….

[2018-07-26 01:09:54] <Sax> 4df+5 Now it's Nathan's turn for shinies
[2018-07-26 01:09:55] <Glacon> Sax: Now it's Nathan's turn for shinies: 5 (4df+5=4-, 3+, 0, 0)
[2018-07-26 01:10:22] <Varren> "God…this really is a fucking lovecraft book…like to the t."
[2018-07-26 01:10:42] <Sax> "I remember reading Lovecraft in boarding school. Fucked up shit."
[2018-07-26 01:10:54] <spookybee> You find an old silver locket stained in blood, clutched in the hands of a curled-up body, dry like the rest.
[2018-07-26 01:11:04] <War_> Maddy very, very slowly moves into the room. He looks kinda sick
[2018-07-26 01:11:04] ⇐ ch00bakka quit (~ten.tsacmoc.ro.1dsh.B31336ED-CRInys|niffirg#ten.tsacmoc.ro.1dsh.B31336ED-CRInys|niffirg): Quit: ch00bakka
[2018-07-26 01:11:52] <Soulless> Avery opens the locket.
[2018-07-26 01:12:06] <Soulless> (or was that for moira)
[2018-07-26 01:12:14] <Varren> Moira frowns at the locket and leaves it for nathan or whoever. She leaves that room and goes back to the telescope room.
[2018-07-26 01:12:17] <spookybee> It was Moira!
[2018-07-26 01:12:27] <Sax> If Moira leaves it, Nate will take it.
[2018-07-26 01:12:34] <spookybee> So he does!
[2018-07-26 01:12:49] <Soulless> Avery koeeps looking for culty, bookish, papers, or identification items among the bodies, then.
[2018-07-26 01:12:58] <Soulless> He is quiet, and unafraid of the death.
[2018-07-26 01:13:04] <Sax> He opens up the locket carefully.
[2018-07-26 01:13:30] <Varren> Moira heads back to look into the telescope, looking for something very specific she would recognize from her dreams.
[2018-07-26 01:14:14] * TT||Eating → teslatornado
[2018-07-26 01:14:17] <spookybee> You find a lot of those, Avery. Lots of mention of an 'Oncoming Hunger' and 'Everlasting Lord of Change'. The term 'Immortal Enemy' is also mentioned a lot, but it's very vague, and only described as a force existing beyond time, space, and reason.
[2018-07-26 01:14:52] <War_> Maddy scours the room for anything interesting or telling, despite the grisly sight making him feel quite unwell
[2018-07-26 01:15:08] <spookybee> Nathan opens the locket to find a picture of a young woman, possibly taken around the 1950's. She's got short black hair and light skin, wearing nice clothing.
[2018-07-26 01:15:24] <Soulless> Avery collects them from the bodies.
[2018-07-26 01:15:50] <War_> 4df+4 do my eyes see

[2018-07-26 01:15:52] <Soulless> He collects them systematically, leaving no corpse unexamined, and then places them delicately in their own folder.
[2018-07-26 01:16:08] <Soulless> He then returns, and sits against a corner, and closes his eyes, and waits for the team to move on.
[2018-07-26 01:16:18] <Sax> He runs his hands carefully over the locket.
[2018-07-26 01:16:23] <Sax> Then pockets it in a collection bag.
[2018-07-26 01:16:28] <spookybee> They do… They notice that one of the windows in the room has been opened between when you looked into the sacrificial chamber, and when you returned to the observatory.

[2018-07-26 01:18:17] <War_> ?*
[2018-07-26 01:18:17] <spookybee> The first thing that happens is that you notice the open window as well. And then you notice the unmoving knife lying on the ground.
[2018-07-26 01:18:18] <Sax> "Nope."
[2018-07-26 01:18:23] <spookybee> The second thing that happens.
[2018-07-26 01:19:04] <spookybee> Is that you feel a sting on your shoulder blade, and you get light-headed for just a moment.
[2018-07-26 01:19:16] <Sax> "Eh?"
[2018-07-26 01:19:25] <Soulless> Avery looks up at the 'eh'.
[2018-07-26 01:19:33] <Sax> Nathan looks at his shoulder.
[2018-07-26 01:19:35] <Varren> Oh shit moira isnt in the room lol
[2018-07-26 01:22:13] <spookybee> Nathan, there's numerous punctures in your shirt, the size of hypodermic needles.
[2018-07-26 01:22:19] <Sax> "Contact!"
[2018-07-26 01:22:28] <Sax> He immediately spins around, looking for the threat!
[2018-07-26 01:22:31] <spookybee> Small red speckles stain your shirt.
[2018-07-26 01:22:45] <War_> 4df+7 if it's fed, NOW can I see it?

[2018-07-26 01:22:51] <War_> Bitch I better
[2018-07-26 01:22:57] <spookybee> Oh fucking boy Hadley, can you.
[2018-07-26 01:23:21] <spookybee> Nathan, you've just taken 4 points of physical damage, as a large quantity of blood was siphoned.
[2018-07-26 01:23:24] <spookybee> *Maddy, not Hadley
[2018-07-26 01:23:32] <Soulless> Avery whips out his knife, and attempts to stab his knife deep into the creature.
[2018-07-26 01:23:35] <War_> Where's this fucker at
[2018-07-26 01:24:02] <Soulless> wait shit no
[2018-07-26 01:24:12] <spookybee> Maddy, you see Nathan's blood expand like a cloud inside of the creature, filling its whole body like food dye in water.
[2018-07-26 01:24:13] <Sax> Nate backs up. That's not good.
[2018-07-26 01:24:22] <Soulless> He whips out his handgun and attempts to shoot.
[2018-07-26 01:24:24] <spookybee> It's hovering in the air above the people in the observatory.
[2018-07-26 01:24:40] <War_> Maddy points up and fucking legs it for cover. "Up! It's up!"
[2018-07-26 01:24:46] <War_> "Above you -!"
[2018-07-26 01:24:46] <spookybee> To Madison, it's probably a bright pulsating red, but to the rest, it's a dark, murky red, the color of blood.

[2018-07-26 01:25:30] <Soulless> (otherwise ignore me)
[2018-07-26 01:25:45] <Varren> Moira comes loudly stomping into the room, sees the thing and promptly dives for cover because fuck that noise.
[2018-07-26 01:25:53] <spookybee> This is the creature you see now, drifting lazily in the air with hanging arms, nearly ten feet in length. Though it's quite hard to see clearly, it's right there with a visible shape.

[2018-07-26 01:26:29] <spookybee> Avery's bullets seem to sink into it with little effect.
[2018-07-26 01:26:47] <spookybee> You can also now see the bullet holes in its form from Moira!
[2018-07-26 01:27:11] <Varren> Moira, now safety with something between her and THAT, aim and fires!

[2018-07-26 01:28:05] <spookybee> … Ouch. They strike it, but it seems relatively unfased, turning to face her… With whatever qualifies as a face.
[2018-07-26 01:28:35] <Varren> Nooooooo no no no no no. She tries to sink further behind the cover
[2018-07-26 01:28:46] <Sax> (Nate's shooting doesn't count?)
[2018-07-26 01:29:06] <War_> 4df+3 distraction shot?

[2018-07-26 01:29:39] <spookybee> Nate deals damage, plucking at its flesh and splattering some of his own blood on the ceiling!
[2018-07-26 01:29:46] <spookybee> Maddy isn't as lucky.
[2018-07-26 01:30:02] <spookybee> … Your realize, however, that it's becoming less visible as you shoot it though Nathan.
[2018-07-26 01:30:35] <Sax> "Tch… doesn't look happy with me at all."
[2018-07-26 01:30:49] <Sax> "The more you hit, the less visible it becomes… probably because all my BLOOD is now over the ceiling!"
[2018-07-26 01:31:03] <spookybee> It turns back to Nate and springs with surprising speed!

[2018-07-26 01:34:56] <Soulless> Can Avery go and try to tie the creature up?
[2018-07-26 01:35:00] <spookybee> It's starting to become more visible yet again… PC TURN!
[2018-07-26 01:35:05] <spookybee> He can /try/.
[2018-07-26 01:35:08] <War_> …provided this thing's in-place, Maddy runs to try and tackle it off
[2018-07-26 01:35:23] <spookybee> Madison, roll MEL or STR!
[2018-07-26 01:35:25] <Soulless> Avery lets Maddy try to tackle it off first.
[2018-07-26 01:35:34] <War_> 4df+6 I have a spec for this actually!

[2018-07-26 01:35:49] <War_> Chokehold the fuckin…noodlefreak

[2018-07-26 01:36:22] <spookybee> Wait, was that STR or MEL, War_?
[2018-07-26 01:36:31] <War_> STR
[2018-07-26 01:37:04] <spookybee> Oof… Madison manages to restrain its arms, but doesn't manage to pry it off him, as a trade-off for the tie.
[2018-07-26 01:37:18] <Varren> Moira will wait for them to get out of her fire line so she can shoot a limb to free nathan.
[2018-07-26 01:39:12] <Sax> Nate's definitely not feeling well anymore.
[2018-07-26 01:39:43] <spookybee> Avery, feel free to try to make your move!
[2018-07-26 01:40:01] <Soulless> Avery moves to tie its arms as Madison has them pinned, around its neck, and anything that looks particularly sensitive.
[2018-07-26 01:40:13] <Soulless> He holds onto the rope like a glorified leash.
[2018-07-26 01:40:24] <Soulless> He then helps Madison pull.
[2018-07-26 01:40:31] <spookybee> The entire thing seems to be rather… Neck-like, really, so you tie up the center-most of it.
[2018-07-26 01:40:36] <spookybee> Of which it starts to struggle against.
[2018-07-26 01:40:45] <Soulless> He has tied it well!
[2018-07-26 01:40:47] <Varren> Well since they are busy with the arms moira will shoot forntentacke to free nathan, swapping to pistol
[2018-07-26 01:41:09] <spookybee> …
[2018-07-26 01:41:17] <spookybee> Moira, roll your shot.

[2018-07-26 01:42:03] <Varren> Choose first?
[2018-07-26 01:42:10] <spookybee> Sure.
[2018-07-26 01:42:15] <Varren> High….
[2018-07-26 01:42:17] <Varren> 1d100

[2018-07-26 01:42:42] <spookybee> The creature is missed, and so is Nathan!
[2018-07-26 01:44:04] <spookybee> Nathan can make an STR check to try to fight his way off of the creature, if he so pleases!

[2018-07-26 01:45:49] <spookybee> … Well, I would have said yes, but it's actually just pulled itself off of Nathan, and is struggling to flop to face you now Maddy.
[2018-07-26 01:46:04] <spookybee> STR contest to keep it pinned!
[2018-07-26 01:46:13] <spookybee> 4df+4

[2018-07-26 01:46:24] <Sax> Nathan's definitely not in good shape anymore, and is attempting to get out of the way.
[2018-07-26 01:46:41] <Soulless> Avery continues to try and hold it with his leash!
[2018-07-26 01:46:43] <spookybee> You do indeed get Defender's Clause, and just barely get the thing pinned on the ground.
[2018-07-26 01:46:52] <spookybee> Kinky, Avery! Roll STR to assist!
[2018-07-26 01:47:06] <War_> Maddy is wheezing with the effort. But chubtank prevails!
[2018-07-26 01:47:15] <Soulless> 4df no str
[2018-07-26 01:47:16] <Glacon> Soulless: no str: 3 (4df=3+, 0, 3+, 3+)
[2018-07-26 01:47:28] <War_> Are you sure
[2018-07-26 01:47:32] <spookybee> … He does a damn good job, and the creature's securely pinned between the two of them.
[2018-07-26 01:47:37] <spookybee> Must be the adrenaline!
[2018-07-26 01:47:51] <War_> " - Nate -! You — holding up -?"
[2018-07-26 01:47:52] <Soulless> Blame it on the adrenaline. Avery hogties the limbs together.
[2018-07-26 01:48:08] <Sax> "… no…"
[2018-07-26 01:48:17] <War_> Maddy endeavours to loose his knife to drive it into this thing
[2018-07-26 01:48:22] <Soulless> He ties the head away from the limbs, upwards, so it can't cut the rope with whatever it managed to cut Nathan with.
[2018-07-26 01:48:34] <Sax> Nate's probably lost a good bit of blood, and is attempting to escape or get into cover.
[2018-07-26 01:48:35] <spookybee> You've got it tied up like the world's most awkward, tickly donut right now, Avery.
[2018-07-26 01:49:05] <Varren> Moira moves to drag nathan into her cover?
[2018-07-26 01:49:09] <spookybee> Its claws seem to be the only slashing weapons it has, with its teeth being more akin to small, hollow needles lining its tentacles!
[2018-07-26 01:49:12] <spookybee> She may!
[2018-07-26 01:49:13] <Soulless> Avery looks for a tablecloth, bedsheets, or similar.
[2018-07-26 01:49:37] <spookybee> There's the sheet used to cover the telescope when it's unused, lying on the floor.
[2018-07-26 01:50:12] <Soulless> Avery begins to cover and bag it with the sheet, making it a glorified hankerchief lunch, with the rope sticking out of the baggie awkwardly.
[2018-07-26 01:50:49] <Varren> When she gets nathan into her cover she pulls out her limited supplies and goes to heal him if she can
[2018-07-26 01:50:52] <spookybee> Hmm…
[2018-07-26 01:51:07] <spookybee> Avery, Maddy, roll STR to keep it subdued long enough to get it into the makeshift baggy.
[2018-07-26 01:51:16] <Soulless> 4df fuuuu
[2018-07-26 01:51:17] <Glacon> Soulless: fuuuu: 3 (4df=0, 3+, 3+, 3+)

[2018-07-26 01:51:32] <spookybee> Avery needs to la off the coke maybe.
[2018-07-26 01:51:36] <spookybee> *lay
[2018-07-26 01:51:37] <spookybee> BUT!

[2018-07-26 01:51:40] <Glacon> spookybee: 3 (4df+4=4-, 0, 3+, 4-)
[2018-07-26 01:51:57] <Sax> Nate's still conscious, so he also attempts to patch up his own blood loss.
[2018-07-26 01:52:06] <spookybee> Together, the two of you manage to get it stuck into the heavy-duty telescope tarp, tying it up so it can't escape!
[2018-07-26 01:52:51] <Varren> Moira will assist nathan as well and help with her own stuff still
[2018-07-26 01:53:05] <Soulless> Avery lays against the creature, wheezing.
[2018-07-26 01:53:10] <War_> Once that's done, Maddy flumps down onto the floor, wheezing. "Holy crap…"
[2018-07-26 01:53:10] <War_> …then remembers the job at hand. " - hell - Nate I got stuff hang on -"
[2018-07-26 01:53:29] <Soulless> He cradles the head, and strokes the creature's side through the baggie.
[2018-07-26 01:54:13] <spookybee> It's thrashing about- It may be best to find something much stronger to hold it in before it gets out!
[2018-07-26 01:54:51] <Soulless> He gets up.
[2018-07-26 01:54:58] <Soulless> He begins to drag the creature to the cage.

[2018-07-26 01:59:22] <Soulless> He closes the door, but keeps the leash on hand. He collapses onto the floor, wheezing.
[2018-07-26 01:59:39] <spookybee> … I hope he locked it.
[2018-07-26 02:00:00] <War_> Maddy makes his way over to Nate. "You guys get sorted -?"
[2018-07-26 02:00:08] <Sax> He holds a thumbs-up.
[2018-07-26 02:00:19] <Sax> "Bleeding's stopped… hopefully you got plasma in your kit."
[2018-07-26 02:01:41] <Soulless> He also locked it.
[2018-07-26 02:01:53] <spookybee> Phew!
[2018-07-26 02:02:04] <Soulless> He lays on the floor, holding his little head, just wheezing.
[2018-07-26 02:02:17] <Sax> Nate's rested against a wall.
[2018-07-26 02:02:27] <spookybee> With the thing locked in the iron box-cage, the night seems to heal.
[2018-07-26 02:02:37] <spookybee> … In fact, you swear you can all hear crickets.
[2018-07-26 02:02:57] <Varren> Moira huffs and looks at the cage and growls at it. "Well…that thing is fucked."
[2018-07-26 02:02:58] <Sax> "… finally…"
[2018-07-26 02:03:07] <Sax> Nate does a radio call.
[2018-07-26 02:03:09] <War_> Maddy sets his bag down, starts rummaging. "If I don't I'm gonna strongly advise you take it easy…"
[2018-07-26 02:03:12] <Sax> «Command, Audley here.»
[2018-07-26 02:03:21] <Sax> "Damn right I'm taking it easy…"
[2018-07-26 02:03:26] <Sax> "I'm probably 50% air at the moment."
[2018-07-26 02:03:27] <spookybee> «Command relay, what's your status Audley?»
[2018-07-26 02:03:54] <Sax> «Anomaly contained, sphere of effects seems to be dissipating.»

[2018-07-26 02:04:06] <Sax> He looks to the others. "Ready for exfil?"
[2018-07-26 02:04:30] <Soulless> "…Yes…"
[2018-07-26 02:04:33] <War_> "We haven't covered everything yet. Not sure I want to…"
[2018-07-26 02:04:39] <War_> Points to the elevator door thingy
[2018-07-26 02:04:44] <spookybee> «Good to hear. Your pilot should be waiting for you outside the perimeter. We'll have a demo team out by morning to neutralize the building and evidence.»
[2018-07-26 02:04:52] <spookybee> …
[2018-07-26 02:05:12] <spookybee> The elevator door seems to look like a normal cargo elevator door, as it should have before, instead of the normal wooden door that it was.
[2018-07-26 02:05:26] <Sax> Nate points to himself. "Not sure if I'd survive any surprises we run into."
[2018-07-26 02:05:35] <spookybee> Things are returning to normal, with the creature contained in its cage.
[2018-07-26 02:05:48] <Soulless> Avery briefly opens the head-bag up to check on it.
[2018-07-26 02:06:15] <spookybee> It's still there, Avery! Gross.
[2018-07-26 02:06:46] <Soulless> Avery closes the bag again.
[2018-07-26 02:07:12] <Soulless> «I wish to stay with the anomalies for the night.»
[2018-07-26 02:07:35] <Sax> Nathan looks at Avery like he grew a second head.
[2018-07-26 02:07:52] <spookybee> «We've already got a team being dispatched for containment, you'll all need to stay a few hours as it is. But you'll be relieved when they arrive.»
[2018-07-26 02:08:06] <Soulless> «Will do.»
[2018-07-26 02:08:10] <Sax> «Copy all.»
[2018-07-26 02:08:14] <War_> Maddy decides to park his arse down on the floor. He's knackered
[2018-07-26 02:08:14] <Soulless> Avery looks to Nathan. "This is my work."
[2018-07-26 02:09:05] <Sax> "Thought your work was with cognitive hazards."
[2018-07-26 02:09:30] <Varren> Moira sits as well…after moving some bodies away
[2018-07-26 02:09:36] <spookybee> The night seems more natural now, with nature returning to its cycle!
[2018-07-26 02:10:09] <Sax> "… all those missing people… most likely a write-off?"
[2018-07-26 02:11:07] <Sax> (Nathan: I NEED HEALING)
[2018-07-26 02:11:42] <spookybee> Feel free to converse here, but narrative-wise, this is the end of the run, completely!
