[CFUW 111] Ghost Hunt: The Possessed Ones

[cfuw_shepherd]

[Late at night, long after everyone has gone to bed, you have awoken. You can feel this strange sensation, like you need to go somewhere. Yes, it feels vitally important that you go there. The force pulls you through the maze of rooms and hallways, and you eventually find yourselves at a large green door. This door gives off an ominous feeling, as if you have passed through it thousands of times, and yet it is very unsettling.

Past that door is an opening into what looks like a courtyard, but instead of seeing the outside you find that there is a roof built over all of it. It is almost as if this place was walled in. If you travel along the hedge maze, you will eventually come to a small two-story house, and inside the front door there is someone waiting for you.]



[When he catches sight of you two, his face turns into a twisted smile. His voice is raspy and old, but somehow his words are comprehensible.]

My allies...welcome...

[Suddenly two men in doctor's uniforms appear behind him. Before you have a chance to react, the man raises his hand to point at you two, and the other two ghosts move forward at you. But as they reach you, they pass through you and they are gone. And if you look back, the first man is gone. You are all alone with this house, and it is as if nothing happened.

But there are two changes. For one, you feel a strange feeling within you. You are still your normal self, but you have this feeling of urgency. You need to do something, and you need to do it quick. You can choose to repress that feeling or you can choose to embrace it, but regardless of what you do that feeling is there.

The other change is that there is a message scrawled on the wall in blood. Whose blood? Probably the blood of the dead woman on the floor below it. And this is what the message says:]

KILL THEM ALL

((OOC: This house is the 'wolf room' for this game. If you want to explore it, ping Finland or Spain on IRC and one of us will play it out with you.))

-- This is... entirely sinister!

[L-looking at the dead body]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[It's a dead body. Its throat is slit, and it looks like she died of blood loss from the wound. But oddly enough, there isn't enough blood here to account for the amount she lost. Even including the message on the wall.

Also, she matches the description that James just gave to you in the other post.]

[He might be sick, but he slowly regains his composure]

Where am I?

[gonna pick a direction and run with it]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[random direction get! Well the house looks pretty normal on the first floor, except for the bloody footprints that lead to the stairs.]

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

[well, going to follow those now]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[upstairs Lance is in a room with dead bodies and a bathtub half-full of blood.]

[deagingly.livejournal.com]

[w-what... locks his focus on the corpse]

This is startling, to say the least.

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[Yup, dead bodies are very startling. But if you look carefully, you might notice some bloody footsteps going from her body to the staircase. Do you investigate?]

[deagingly.livejournal.com]

[of course I do! following them and I'm staying on guard]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[They go up the stairs and turn left at the top. Also, as you go up the stairs, you'll notice what looks like claw marks in the banister and the wall paper on the staircase. Some are old, and some are new, but there are a lot of them. If you look closer at them, you'll even see that they are just about the right size for human hands, and there's even evidence of people breaking fingernails trying to find something to grab onto here. Also, there's a hallway to the right upstairs, but there is no blood that way. Do you go left, or right?]

[deagingly.livejournal.com]

Struggling...?

[sense of direction sucks... but keeping left!]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[So you two hear a creepy voice echo through the house suddenly. It sounds like the bloody dead guy you guys saw earlier.]

Kill one....pick one to kill...

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

What?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[the creepy voice continues]

The tub...it must be filled...pick a sacrifice.

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

And if I refuse?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[There is a sudden rush of cold air. You get the feeling that it's a REALLY BAD IDEA to refuse. But the voice speaks up again.]

If the tub is filled...you two will go free...

[deagingly.livejournal.com]

Scary!

--oh, do you have any idea as to who we should "pick"?

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

I would refuse-- but...

[lol we are possessed]

[deagingly.livejournal.com]

[lolol]

Same, but... it really should be done, right?

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

[... this is lonely and terrifying, don't mind me here]

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[don't feel so bad, it's alright. But look, there's a not left for you! And it's written in ink instead of blood this time.]

"Our deal still stands: fill the tub for his bath, and you will go free. However, your friends may suggest destroying the house. If you do this, we will be free of our cage, and we will take our killings to other locations. It would be in your best interest to keep them from killing you and from destroying the house."

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[the voice returns, it sounds angry]

How... dare you... let them do that....

Choose one more... More... I need more!

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

I'll ask again-- and if I refuse?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

[you feel the room shake around you in anger. a wind blows and the sounds of hanging knives hitting each other is made]

Choose... and you will go free...

[missesfuckingme.livejournal.com]

And if I do not choose?
