Halloween RPG

Charli trudged through the kitchen as Nefnee shuffled behind. Charli stopped at the door leading to the garden.
"What's up?" Nefnee looked up.
"I don't really like this place... it reminds me of a scary movie I saw," Charli said, looking around at the dusty kitchen.
"And you watch a few too many scary movies."
"Yeah." Charli opened the door, actually kicked in the door because it was stuck.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 9/29/2008, 10:03 pm

About twenty yards from the kitchen door was an old shed, the back almost entirely claimed by the melon vines that grew wild - during the summer, at least - in the unkempt garden. "Hold on," Charli said to Nefnee. "You look around out here. I'm gong to see what's in the shed." Nefnee hesitated for a moment at the door, then nodded, and Charli picked her way through the brush to the front of the small building. The wooden door was held shut with a rusted padlock, the key long forgotten, but the wood was rotted, and Charli easily kicked it down. Within the dim room, the faint smell of diesel - presumably for the ancient grass cutter - still hung in the air, and various gardening tools were propped against the dilapidated walls. And there, hanging forlornly on the back wall, was exactly what Charli was looking for: a hatchet. Picking it up, Charli hefted it, taking in its relatively good condition. Not only was it a key component for her costume, but she also didn't like going around unarmed. Picking up a long wooden pole that had once belonged to a rake, Charli left the shed to rejoin Nefnee and give her her weapon.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 9/29/2008, 10:17 pm

"Oh, sweet," Nefnee giggled as Charli handed her the stick. "Your ax is so much cooler!" She began to twirl the wooden pole very awkwardly.
"Yes, I know. But that was the next best thi-i-," Charli ducked to avoid being hit by Nefnee's attempt at flying using the stick as helicopter blades.

Meanwhile...
Lari was pacing around frantically as Jasper watched. "Where are we?" she wondered. "HOW do we get back?"
"I dunno, I'm sorry for getting us lost in a haunted mansion..." Jasper apologized.
Lari continued her pacing, ignoring him for the time being, tears streaming down her face. Then, quite abruptly, she stopped and turned to face him, then Lari flung herself into Jasper's arms, as she was extremely terrified and when Lari gets scared, she undergoes moodswings, sometimes very violent.

Meanwhilw kevinin was getting very frustrated with Curly and her need to investigate all things shiny.
"Curly its just the reflection of my flashlight, you don't need to check it out!" Kevinin said for the millionth time. He was exasperated and it showed in his tone
"yes I do because it might be something cool"curly said going to investigate something shiny in the corner of a room that might have once been the parlor.
I all the othe million instances Kevinin had been right and it had just been a reflection but this time curly was right.
" Hey look, its a handle!" Curly cried excitedly

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/1/2008, 5:36 pm

Resisting the temtation not to bite Curly, this would have turned out bad anyways, Kevinin asked something to Curly "Why am I using a flashlight? I mean I can see in the dark just fine"

~"Because I Cant!" blurted Curly

thinking to himself "why do I have to BABYsit this Fairy THING?!?!? my death wasn't meant to supply myself for this"

Finaly hearing Curly's cry Kevinin said "We walked past that like 36 times and you just noticed that?"

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/1/2008, 6:32 pm

Charli stalked into the foyer, Nefnee in tow, a bit peeved that there hadn't been anything more interesting out in the garden. Pausing, at the foot of the grand staircase, she looked around, a flash of movement catching her attention. It was Kevinin and Curly, walking in circles around something like a parlor. Apparently Curly was fawning over something, and Kevinin was about at the end of his rope. "Oi!" Charli called, heading towards them. "There's nothing out in the garden. Did you lot find anything?"

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/1/2008, 7:39 pm

Name: Zerbin (nickname Zerb)
Age: 16
Costume: Neo from the Matrix
Thoughts Regarding Halloween: Great holiday, even if he was a little old by many standards, knows that there are supernatural creatures somewhere
Connections: Friend of Charli, Kevinin, Knows Lari

Zerb walked into a house, he had no idea why but something had been telling him to go into that house. He opened up the door and looked around. He was glad he had great night vision.. thank you Carrots. "Hello?" he asked as he looked around.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/1/2008, 7:58 pm

Charli had seen Zerb coming up the path and had hidden herself near the door. Now, as he looked around, she crept up behind him, standing on her tip toes to sling her arm around his shoulders. "Here's the deal, chum," she said, ignoring his startled stiffness. "Lari and her beau Jasper have vanished. We don't know how or where to, so we're trying to find them. They're not out in the gardens, and as far as we know, they're not on the first floor here. So make yourself useful."

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/2/2008, 6:23 pm

(OOC: Can I double post if I'm posting for a different character? I'm saying yes, but I got the okay from Lari to play two characters, so don't go adding new characters to this randomly!)

The children seemed to be held up on the ground floor, the two lovebirds being hidden away in the first basement. That was just as well. There was nothing of real interest on those levels other than gimmicks to frighten away ghost chasers just like them. A small smile, hidden by the shadows, crept across Damion's face as he placed both hands on the banister, leaning out slightly over the foyer and purposely cutting an intimidating silhouette in the light of the rising full moon that came streaming through the great window above the landing near the second floor. Damion pivoted suddenly and silently ascended the remaining steps to the upper level just as the Matrix rip off caught sight of the shadow and looked up sharply. But Damion was hidden by then. Perhaps, he thought to himself, I can have some fun with this lot before I drive them away...

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/2/2008, 7:48 pm

(OOC: Yes! Anyway if someone randomly signs up to N&G a month from now and we are to a part where we can't add new characters, someone has to be willing to give up one of their extra characters out of niceness... or force. Oh, and I already called the ghosty.)

"Ah! Zerb, my friend. How you do?" Nefnee said, deciding to (try to) go into character. "Our worries are many and we need all the people we can get to find our two young friends, lost in this mass of house." Nefnee directed Zerb's attention toward herself. "Are you well? You look as if you've seen a ghost."

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/3/2008, 8:38 pm

"Alright then if i'm suppose to make myself useful I guess I'll go down to the basement and check things out." Zerb said as he pulled his Mag-light from his belt. And I'm talking the big ones, not the sissy mini-mags, i'm talking about the ones the police use as a second weapon when the need to. Zerb flicked it on and then headed towards the basement.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/3/2008, 11:02 pm

(OOC: 999th post!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Walking down the stairs, Nefnee noticed that the light was on at the bottom.
The handrail was broken, and she had a great fear of stairs without something to hold on to. So Nefnee wrapped her arms around Charli and Zerb's necks, immediately falling off because of the huge height difference between them. Curly stepped over her and continued down behind Charli and Zerb. Kevinin picked Nefnee up to her feet, only for her to sit down again.
"Go on without me!" she cried.
"Dammit, Nefnee," Kevinin said, nudging Nefnee enough to make her jump up and start running down the steps like you run down a hill to avoid falling.
SPLAT... "I'm okay!" cried Nefnee's muffled voice.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/4/2008, 12:58 pm

"Did you hear that? Sounds like someone's coming down," Lari said worriedly. "D'you think it's anything evil?"
"I'm okay!" Nefnee could be heard in the distance.
"Yes, it is," Lari answered her own question, nodding. "Shall we go off elsewhere?"

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/4/2008, 3:58 pm

Curly leapt down the stairs as gracefully as a swan and landed on NefNee.
"oof" nefnee excalimed
Curly reached out and flung the door open dramatically to reveal... nothing
"aw man, i really thought she was in there" curly moaned disapointedly.
"well lets check it out any ways" Zerb said pushing Curly out of the way and trodding on Nefnee.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/4/2008, 6:50 pm

Charli took pity on Nefnee and switched her hatchet to her other hand in order to haul Nefnee up by her arm. "Fuck!" Charli swore, stamping her feet. "It's freezing down here! What, is there sodding ice down here?!" Sure enough, there was a thin layer of ice coating the walls, sparkling almost magically in the light of Zerb's electric torch. Nodding to Zerb to take the lead, Charli called to the others - who were just sort of milling about the base of the stairs - "Come on! The hall goes this way." As they walked, Charli shivered and began to sing to herself, a habit that had always calmed her. "When you feel your heart is poundin', Fear a devil's at your door. There's no place to hide- You're frozen to the floor! What you do then is you force yourself To wake up, and you say: "It's this dream, not me, that's bound to go away.""

Meanwhile...

So the children were all down in the first basement? Excellent... With a grin pulling at the corners of his too handsome mouth, Damion deftly flicked a few switches on the control panel concealed behind a panel beside the door to his bedroom, an immaculately clean chamber, the only specks of dirt caught in the cobwebs lacing the windows that masked the room from the outside world. He more sensed than heard the stone gate slamming down at the bottom of the steps leading back to the ground floor and could faintly hear the startled screams of the children. Another switch set ablaze the torches lining the walls in five second intervals - and extinguished the torches ten sets back - to lead the intruders down into the gauntlet...

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/5/2008, 2:00 pm

Little did everyone know that Lari and Jazz snuck out the basement through a secret passageway.
"Wait, why are we running away from them?"
"'Cause...I dunno...they'll ruin our alone time?"
"Oh...right..."
Then a bloodcurdling scream was heard, and Lari vanished.
Oh great, another kidnap attempt, she thought, then, Wait...this is probably a crazed psychopath...OMG, I''M GONNA DIE! the voices in her head screamed. So, she began to try hitting her kidnapper. "Let...me...go!" Lari snarled, then thought. "And why are you kidnapping me?" she inquired. No, you moron, scream for your boyfriend to help you. Duh! the voices scolded her.
"Oh..." Lari was quiet, then. "JAZZ! HELP M-!" she shrieked at the top of her lungs, but was cut off by her abductor.
"Shut up!" her kidnapper growled.
"Make me!"
"Arg!"

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/5/2008, 2:02 pm

"Cold? I'm perfectly just fine." Zerb said as he lead the way through the lower level the group was now on. 'Hmm something is here.. and yet.. not in this level.. something is monitoring us.. I can feel it' Zerb thought to himself looking around. "But if it bothers you that much Charli you can have my hoodie" Zerb suggested looking behind his shoulder for a moment as he continued to look around amazed by the sparkling of the ice wondering how any of this could of happened.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/6/2008, 11:08 pm

"Uh... guys?" Curly spat ahead. The group turned to see that her tongue was stuck to the icy walls.
"OH MY GOD!" cried Kevinin. "What the heck did you do?"
"Hey... where's Nefnee?" asked Charli after she pulled the hoodie over her head.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/6/2008, 11:40 pm

Coolly, Damion considered the monitor that showed the witch girl struggling in vain to escape the chamber she had been pulled into. His gaze never leaving the screen, he pressed a button, activating the vacuum that pulled the girl up into the cage in the next room. He could hear her, cries for help, but all he did was sip his hot spiced cider.

"No!" Charli roared, kicking at the ground. "First Lari and Jasper, and now Nefnee?! What the bloody hell is going on here?!" Screaming in rage and frustration, she slammed her hatchet into the ice, freeing Curly but also revealing a series of parallel cracks in the wall. Snatching the flashlight from Zerb, Charli looked closer only to see that they weren't cracks. They were the edges of doors! But, God, there were five where the ice had fallen away alone. Who knew how many there were along the hall. "Hey," Charli called over her shoulder. "What do you blokes make of this?"

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/7/2008, 7:10 am

Deciding that crying like crazy wouldn't help, Nefnee tried a different approach. She freezed and examined the room around her. She noticed that it was a simple stone box, with two opposite walls made of wood. A single dim lightbulb hung overhead. That was it.
"HELP MEEEE!!!!" Nefnee cried. No answer. Nobody to her rescue. She sat in the middle of the floor, hoping.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/7/2008, 6:46 pm

"What the fact that there are about five doors behind the ice, and possibly still more elsewhere?" Zerb said looking against the ice. "Interesting to say the least. I have the feeling though that we aren't alone in this house. Its like someone is watching us but I probably can't be one hundred percent ceratin on that one for now." Zerb said still looking at the wall and moving around against the ice trying to feel if there were more doors elsewhere. "I sense that there are about a minimum of about 10 doors total in this area. But there could be more, and weather or not they are real doors depends on a feel things." Zerb said taking a quick look around and then placing his hand against the wall and melting it enough to just get into the next door, hoping that no one saw that.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/7/2008, 9:52 pm

Cruly rubbed her sore tounge and cursed her need to investigate all things shiny. Why couldn't she just leave them al- hey a Penny!
Curly reached down to grab the penny when it disappeared. she frowned and stood back up, what the heck was going on?
Then she saw it again a little bit farther off. She ran to go pick it up but it disappered again. Very frustrated, curly looked around her too try to figure out where that stupid penny had gotten to, when she saw it in a dark shadowy corner. This made curly suspicious, but she decided that a nice shiny penny was worth the risk.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/8/2008, 9:36 pm

Nefnee slowly walked around, knocking against the two wooden walls to see if there was any hollowness. They were both completely hollow sounding, no matter where she knocked. There were no doors, so somehow at least one of the walls moved. She walked to one of them, turned around, and ran as fast as she could to the other.
THUMP
Nefnee fell back, rolling into fetal position, her shoulder aching from the impact. She decided that that was very stupid, then that she must do it again.
Nefnee slowly pushed herself up, prepared, and sprinted to the other wall.
THOOMmmmm... squeeeak.

Subject: Re: Halloween RPG 10/9/2008, 1:05 pm

Curly looked up just as she was about to grab the penny.
"hey does anyone else hear a weird Thumping sound?"
