Bob Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) CHAPTER EIGHT - DOWN TO TEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the center of downtown, Deputy Chief Scott watched the area for suspicious activity. It was nearly morning, and the sun had begun to shine on the city very lightly as it rose over the hills. A short while later, Marcus arrived. "You're up awfully early." Scott noted. "I didn't sleep." said Marcus. "I was having nightmares about baseball bats." "Oh, good morning." James said as he arrived. "I knew you were all up to something!" Robbie shouted. "Is this some sort of secret meeting?" "No, son. We're waiting for everyone else." James sighed. Robbie's loud music echoed through the streets as he arrived from the beach. "Oh, you're all up?" he asked. "What's all this noise?" Winston inquired as he arrived from his townhouse. "It's very hard to sleep." "Please, everyone return home until sunrise." Deputy Scott said. "There you are, Jeremy!" Julia said. "Go put all of that junk back home." "Fine!" Jeremy said. He left. Marcus left too, because he remembered that he left his Captain Kirk action figure out of its box. "I say James, do you smell anything odd?" Winston asked. "I do, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Officer Scott!" "Yes?" "Do you smell anything odd?" James asked. "Come to think of it, yes, I do. But I can't recall what it is." "Ah! I smell it now. It's gasoline." Winston said proudly. "Gasoline?" Scott asked. "It must be from the docks or something." "That's a logical deduction." With a huge roar, Officer Scott's RV exploded in a ball of fire that sent the three of them flying. Slowly they got up, with Officer Scott being the first up to help Winston. "Is everyone alright?" Scott asked. "Yes, but where are the other two?" Winston asked. "Robbie!" James yelled. "Nooooooooo!" James cried. "My only son!" "Get away from the fire, man! It'll burn you alive too!" Scott yelled. Winston pulled a crying James away from the fire as Officer Scott pulled out a comically oversized phone. "I need immediate assistance at the town center!" she said into the phone. The fire quickly receded, it was only a fast burner. By the time the first fire-woman arrived, the fire was out. "Sorry we couldn't get here sooner." "It's alright, you came as fast as you could." Deputy Chief Scott said. Later... "I'm going to have to rule this a freak accident." the Fire Marshall said. "That's my preliminary findings." "Hey Nurse, how's it going?" Marcus asked. "I'm trying to get this body out of the wreckage, but I keep pulling off body parts instead of the whole thing!" she giggled. "Alright everyone! Find somewhere else to congregate! I've got to continue my investigation." With their numbers diminished, the intrepid townsfolk meet at the other end of the fountain. "Now what?" James asked. "In all my years in the Lexington Police Department, I've never seen a car explosion before." Officer Jackson said. "I'm not sure what to do." Deputy Chief Scott says. "I'm not sure how to even proceed." "Where's Special Agent Stone?" Sarah asks. ~~~ Julia Montgomery (Dannylonglegs) has 0 life points, and is dead. Robbie Swanson (Jedi master brick) has 0 life points, and is dead. Officer Ryan Hutch (Badboytje88) has 0 life points, and is dead. Alex Jordan (cralegoboy) has 0 life points, and is dead. Ashley Baker (K-nut) now has 4 life points. Officer Steven Jackson (ProfessorFlitwick) now has 4 life points. Marcus Baker (CallMePie) now has 9 life points. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Players (14) Mr. Jack Montgomery --- Mrlegoninja Mrs. Julia Montgomery --- Dannylonglegs Jeremy Montgomery --- ADHO15 Mrs. Sarah Jordan --- Brickdoctor Mr. Winston Robertson --- Rumble Strike Amber Robertson --- Peanuts Officer Steven Jackson --- Professor Flitwick Ashley Baker --- K-nut Marcus Baker --- CallMePieOrDie Officer Ryan Hutch --- badboytje88 Mr. James Swanson --- CorneliusMurdock Robbie Swanson --- Jedi master Brick Deputy Chief Jackie Scott --- Fugazi Deceased: Police Chief Arnold McGovern --- def Mr. Alex Jordan --- Cralegoboy Rules: (Borrowed partly from Dragonator’s Mystery Manor and Red Scare Mystery) 1. There are 16 participants. If you commit to the game you are committing to contributing to the story and sticking with it to the end. 2. You must search for clues. This means that an action must be specified. For example, you wish to search a room for hidden objects. The following is an example of how not to go about this: "I wish to look for suspicious or hidden objects in this room". Instead, you must be able to specify what you want to do. For example: "I would like to open the drawers of the cabinet." It is not required for you to specify exactly what you are doing and what you are looking for, but a generalized statement will not find you anything. Act like a detective and you will be fine. I will always give a detailed explanation of a room, however, feel free to ask for clarification. 3. Please be patient with me between chapters, I will try to put up the chapter topics as quickly as possible, but, this might not be so all the time. 4. Please try to avoid editing your posts. If you made a spelling error, simply post immediately after correcting your spelling error. If you wish to add more, a double post can be made, however use this rule wisely. Obviously, you may not make a quadruple post. Please wait for someone else to post before you post something else, unless absolutely necessary. 5. You can reference anything in pop culture, as this is being played real time. You can mention current events if you want to. You can use any electronic device that you wish to use, with exception. For example, you can’t take out your time machine to determine who the killers are. 6. I won’t keep you in a certain room if you don’t want me too. However, you may not return to a room that you were already in, so ensure that you have searched every part of the room before leaving. 7. There are a few NPC’s in certain areas of the town. These NPC’s might have evidence, however they might not. Also, the evidence given by them might be false information. You cannot do anything other than talk to these NPC’s. You can only go and speak to them when you arrive in their area. For example, each NPC is in a certain part of the town. If you’re at point A, you cannot go and speak to an NPC at point B. 8. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. A second failure will result in the death of your character. 9. There are no night actions or chapter actions. However, there are Miscellaneous Actions. With this system, if you’d like to PM me a non-lethal action (I.E; “I’d like to go visit Player A”), then that’s fine. However, things that could harm people (I.E; “I’d like to go kill Player A”) are not allowed. These are only allowed at night. Night comes at the end of every chapter. I’ll allow most anything, so let your imaginations go wild. However, you can’t leave Lexington. That is not a valid action. 10. No Metagaming please. Also, don’t base suspicions on how the person looks. 11. There will be a life-point system. Every player starts out with ten life-points, and regenerates one life point at the end of a chapter. For example, if you fall and twist your ankle, you’d likely lose one life point. If you fall off a boat into an engine prop, you’re likely to lose most if not all of your life points. Think logically. Perhaps walking along the rickety boards in the construction zone is not a good idea. 12. The host is usually always right. If you think he’s wrong, feel free to send me a message about it. 13. Most of all have fun. This game is meant to be enjoyable despite the "questionable" things occurring. Rules may be added or deleted as the game goes on based on game play. Julia Montgomery (Dannylonglegs) has 0 life points, and is dead. Robbie Swanson (Jedi master brick) has 0 life points, and is dead. Officer Ryan Hutch (Badboytje88) has 0 life points, and is dead. Alex Jordan (cralegoboy) has 0 life points, and is dead. Ashley Baker (K-nut) now has 4 life points. Officer Steven Jackson (ProfessorFlitwick) now has 4 life points. Marcus Baker (CallMePie) now has 9 life points. Edited November 21, 2011 by Bob_
CMP Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Robbie, Julia, may you silently rest in peace. What worse way to die than a poorly Photoshopped RV explosion???
Bob Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Robbie, Julia, may you silently rest in peace. What worse way to die than a poorly Photoshopped RV explosion??? "Hey!" a voice yells from above: "I did a good job with that photoshop!"
CMP Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "Hey!" a voice yells from above: "I did a good job with that photoshop!" I would like to cower in fear. Yes sir! Also, where is my hat? The Nurse says she finds my hat sexy....
K-Nut Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Oh no! Two more dead! James, Jeremy, Jack, I offer you my deepest condolences. I'd like to know how Robbie and Julia are still alive.
ADHO15 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Noooo!! Mommy! How could somebody do this to you? That bomb could have been meant to kill Deputy Chief Scott. Rather her than poor mommy. Robbie's loud music echoed through the streets as he arrived from the beach. Hey, man. I'm Jeremy! So where do we go today, dudes? I'm still not confident I have answers to what's happened here over the last week or so.
Brickdoctor Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 That man has a Hazmat suit! Oh, right, investigation.
K-Nut Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 That man has a Hazmat suit! Oh, right, investigation. :laugh_hard:
Professor Flitwick Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "Jesus Christ! It's gone from murder to terrorism, in just over one week! James, Jeremy, Jack - I'm sorry for all your loses." "I have no dire preference as to where we go today, but I think it maybe worth searching the house of the late Officer Hutch. We can't excuse the dead from this, particularly as he was clearly not killed by one of us, and was alive for the shoot out."
Rumble Strike Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I would like to recall where we can investigate. "Did we finish investigating the Jordan residence satisfactorily guys?"
Fugazi Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "I have no dire preference as to where we go today, but I think it maybe worth searching the house of the late Officer Hutch. We can't excuse the dead from this, particularly as he was clearly not killed by one of us, and was alive for the shoot out." What a horrible mess. I don't believe in accidents, after my house burning this. Let me guess, tonight I shouldn't sleep on a bench in the park because the killers will set it on fire too? The fire is a recurring motif, and quite a few people have been found with matches or lighting fluid in their homes. It's probably too small a clue to start pointing fingers, but it's probably a thing to keep in mind. Yesterday we weren't finished with the Jordan residence. Then we have Hutch's and Marcus' places to visit as well. I'm all for going to Hutch's, but perhaps we should make sure we are done at Sarah's home first.

CorneliusMurdock Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Robbie! How could this happen?! This used to be a nice quiet town and now people are dropping off left and right!
ADHO15 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 So what will it be? Sarah's? Yeah, let's finish looking round there before moving on.
Fugazi Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I would like a description of the master bedroom please.
CorneliusMurdock Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 After we get a description, I will search under the bed.
Peanuts Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 After we get a description, I will search under the bed. And I'd like to search any drawers which might be in the Bedroom. Ha! The early bird catches the worm. Oh, and there are two more dead. Damn, we're dropping like flies. Dad, I suggest you stay awake tonight and make dure nobody sets fire on our house.
Rumble Strike Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Winston replies to Amber: "You think I will be able to sleep tonight after witnessing that horrible explosion? I feel sorry for those that died but I am so glad you are OK, darling. With so many deaths I'm not letting you out of my sight now!"
Peanuts Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Winston replies to Amber: "You think I will be able to sleep tonight after witnessing that horrible explosion? I feel sorry for those that died but I am so glad you are OK, darling. With so many deaths I'm not letting you out of my sight now!" I'm glad to hear that. I'm also glad you're alright, you were awfully close to that explosion.
Mrlegoninja Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Julia! Julia! You cheated on me, but that doesn't mean I stopped loving you! And Jeremy, you're showing no emotion for your mother. She is the one that cared for you the most. I'd like to force Jeremy to cry. Now that the sad fest is over, I'd like to check the wardrobe (If there is one) in the bedroom.
Rumble Strike Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I'm glad to hear that. I'm also glad you're alright, you were awfully close to that explosion. "I have to admit, for a few seconds there I thought I was a goner! So many people gone already, I though my time was up."
Bob Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 I would like a description of the master bedroom please. It's rather small with only a bed, a few drawers, a large mirror, and a door to a bathroom. After we get a description, I will search under the bed. There's nothing under the bed. And I'd like to search any drawers which might be in the Bedroom. Ha! The early bird catches the worm. Oh, and there are two more dead. Damn, we're dropping like flies. Dad, I suggest you stay awake tonight and make dure nobody sets fire on our house. There's clothes in the drawers, as well as hair care products, a box of batteries, a small radio, a flashlight, and a calender. Julia! Julia! You cheated on me, but that doesn't mean I stopped loving you! And Jeremy, you're showing no emotion for your mother. She is the one that cared for you the most. I'd like to force Jeremy to cry. Now that the sad fest is over, I'd like to check the wardrobe (If there is one) in the bedroom. Jack holds a bowl of chopped onions nearby Jeremy, forcing him to cry, There's also not a wardrobe in the room.
ADHO15 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 And Jeremy, you're showing no emotion for your mother. I did cry, you insensitive old dick. And speak for yourself: Now that the sad fest is over, I'd like to check the wardrobe (If there is one) in the bedroom. I'd like to force my dad to mourn his wife for more than a second. She is the one that cared for you the most. Yeah, don't I know it?! Glad I still have you... It's rather small with only a bed, a few drawers, a large mirror, and a door to a bathroom. I'd like a description of the bathroom.
