Shadows Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 *The group prepares to move on to the West Library...very soon. * No rush! *leads the group in a rousing chorus of Let's All Go to the Lobby!* I could really use some junior mints now.
Siegfried Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 *looks around for a pot plant or door mat* I still want to do this. I hate it when there's only one key, surely there's a spare somewhere!
Hinckley Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 I still want to do this. I hate it when there's only one key, surely there's a spare somewhere! *Siegourney goes searching for a welcome mat...*
iamded Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I could have sworn there were two keys. Oh well! Let's move on! <Hums "Let's All Go to the Lobby" in sync with Sheldon>
Hinckley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 *As the group is about to enter the library, a shiny crown appears hovering before the doorway...*
Dannylonglegs Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Holy smokes! That thing is floating! I wonder what would happen if somebody touched it... *I would like to walk over to it and touch it, If it falls to the floor, I'd like to pick it up. If it stays levitating, I'd like to see if I can move it and pick it up* Wow, The crown is shiny.

Siegfried Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 More visions! I think something just doesn't want us to go to the library! Who here has overdue books?
Hinckley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 *Before anyone can heed the vision as a bad omen, the group enters the West Library to investigate...* *A gruesome sight awaits them as the lifeless body of Johnson Willoughby, their beloved tour guide, lays eviscerated on the floor. There is not a lot of light in this room but a hole in the ceiling lets in the vibrant light of the full moon. The group can see the beautiful and bright moon slowly turning red...* *Further investigation of the room reveals an old fountain surrounded by two stone benches.* *There is a statue of a man between two blood red wolf heads.* *On the left side of the room are some shelves and another statue.* *On the right side of the room the wall has eroded away so that a tree grows through the old shelves. There is also another statue on this wall.*
Siegfried Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 OK *I'd like to see if I can use those tile things and build in that blank space on the left a mirror image of the design on the right.* Oh, our guide is dead. *I'd like to respectfully search his body.*

Both sets from his jacket and pants appear to already been searched, they are empty and inside out...*
Sir Dillon Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Poor boy. At least they left his legs this time. I'd like to take and look at that white thing on the shelving to our left.
Svelte Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 That statue on the right seems to be missing something... can anyone lend him a hand? Also, that centre statue is kicky or just kind of gay. I wonder if we can straighten him up? The dragon head thingy at the front of the room is also missing a tooth, I note.
Siegfried Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 *It is a good idea, but mirroring the pattern, while possible, doesn't do anything.* In that case... *I'd like to replicate the pattern.* *You search Johnson's pockets, but you find nothing. Both sets from his jacket and pants appear to already been searched, they are empty and inside out...* That doesn't sound like a supernatural killing.
Hinckley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 I'd like to take and look at that white thing on the shelving to our left. *Amongst the dust and shreds of ancient parchment lies a bright white roll of parchment in almost brand new condition.* I wonder if we can straighten him up? *Sylvia limps over and attempts to turn the statue but it doesn't budge. She looks for other ways to de-gay the place...* *I'd like to replicate the pattern.* *Nothing happens.*
Siegfried Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 *Nothing happens.* *I'd like to give up making bad guesses for a while.* *I'd like to restore it to the mirrored pattern 'cos it looks more gay.*
Dannylonglegs Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 OH MY GOD! There aren't any books in the Library! I mean, Johnson's dead!! Oh, I wish I took one of those bones from the earlier dead guy Oh, wait A parchment. If nobody's going to pick 'er up, I think I will. *I'd like to pick up the parchment and see if I can read it.*
Hinckley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 *I'd like to pick up the parchment and see if I can read it.* *Donna picks up the parchment. There is an old quill wrapped in it. The parchment itself appears completely blank.*
Svelte Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I'd like to remove Johnson Willoughby's bow-tie and stow it in my purse, so I can mail it his descendant, Johnson Johnson, if we ever survive this nightmare. This will have the additional effect of de-gaying the room by 47%. Maybe instead of adding tiles to the studded wall surface, we should remove them from the right hand side and dump them in that empty container? It looks like that's what those are there for. If anyone has a spare fang I'd like to stick it in the dragon head, too.

The movement causes Johson's torso to slip in the pool of blood and reveal the word "Roster," written on the fountain, apparently by Johnson in his own blood.* *Sylvia find the tiles on the right-hand mosaic un-removeable.* If anyone has a spare fang I'd like to stick it in the dragon head, too. *It is a wolf head...or an upside-down dragon jaw, but in this case...a wolf head.*
Svelte Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 *It is a wolf head...or an upside-down dragon jaw, but in this case...a wolf head.* I am an interior designer... I think I know a wolf's head when I see one ROSTER, eh? How intriguing! I wonder if it's an acronym. This is just like a famous movie I saw with that American actor, Tom Hanks. It was about a stranded man on an island not dissimar to this one who saw cryptic religious messages in the disemboweled entrauls of volleyballs. I think it was called 'The Castaway Code'. Any suggestions?
iamded Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I do recall a young man finding a wolf tooth earlier, no? When they wandered off from the group or something..? The movement causes Johson's torso to slip in the pool of blood and reveal the word "Roster," written on the fountain, apparently by Johnson in his own blood.* Another anagram I suppose. Willoughby's morbid idea of humour, no doubt. Anagrams, always anagrams. Or, more likely it's not an anagram at all and something completely different. Either way, it's a clue!
Hinckley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 I am an interior designer... I think I know a wolf's head when I see one *Well, don't mind me, I just narrate things. *
Dannylonglegs Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Eeek, tour guide blood messages! Nobody touch it, it could have AIDs! Hmm, Roster.... Hmmm. Roster. Roster, hmmm.... Oh, I Know! Maybe he was trying to spell Rooster, but forgot an O! That would make sense, because the rooster's crow defeats the Basilisk! Like the one that previously resided in the big room! Anyone? Have I been reading to much Harry Potter? Ah well, I doubt it's an Anagram, maybe it's a person's name?... Anyone know a Roster?
Shadows Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 *points at the body* Now see? That's how dead people are supposed to look, not just a skeleton with a wig. I consider this further proof that courtyard boy was a fake used to cover what's-his-names separating from the group, probably to do bad things like this. *points at the body again* And, to his left, you'll notice ... Tour guide humour. RIP Willoughby. If anyone has a spare fang I'd like to stick it in the dragon head, too. I DO! I'd like to see if this tooth I found fits in the dragon head and then try moving the head to see if it does anything. While I'm at it, I'll investigate the other tooth for blood, but I think Sigourney is right, rifled pockets are not a sign of supernatural killing, but good, old fashioned human evil, the kind this baby can stop. *pats the gun* Finally, something useful to do. Roster, eh? I'm sure he meant rooster. Poor old guy had an unhealthy obsession with cocks, though I guess it could be roster. Maybe he's telling us that someone on the tour isn't who they claim to be and to check the roster, wherever that might be.
