Call of Cthulh: RP Discussion (Yes, they are finally about the RP!)

[Forever Zero]

This is the discussion for the RP. Now it is actualy about the current RP too, and not what will happen in the future! Hooray!

[lazy man]

Could I say that the Dr. was a surgeon in the war?

[Forever Zero]

I wasn't planning on him being that kind of doctor... Umm, I dunno, maybe he could have been an aid or something. he would have been too old for the war though, since he is in his 70's, and the Great War was only about ten years ago.

[Dr DR]

Come on people post! I want to do some interacting before my net connection cops out! (As it will do in 51 minutes. Curse you time difference!)

[Forever Zero]

I may just push along the story, but the next part is where it starts getting back to you guys making decisions is why I was waiting for more people.

[Dr DR]

How do you actually pronounce Cthulh?

[Forever Zero]

Dunno... Choo-thu-lu is how I say it, but I'm not sure if that's right.

[Krylo]

Cthulu can't be pronounced by human tongues. The closest you can come is a very gutteral ca-tuh-u-lu. It should sound similiar to a cough when done correctly.

[IHateMakingNames]

In the 1920s, were there coke cans, or only coke bottles? If it's only bottles, my guy also carries around a bottle opener.

[Forever Zero]

Coke bottles, thus the bottle opener will be added.

[Squishy Cheeks]

well I guess it's good I have high psychology score, what with having to listen to confession. I should get sanity points back from religion, and psychology.

[Forever Zero]

You'll just have to wait for some time to pass to build it up again. It was a bad roll of the die is all, and it's only 1 point. Plus, psychology only effects being able to properly judge what others are thinking, psychoanalysis is the one that is able to diagnose and treat mental problems.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Well Religion would have a similar affect as psychoanalysis. I know I feel better after confession.

[Forever Zero]

I'm realising the flaws of a Stat based RP...

*Sigh* A. Religion isn't an officially recognized skill. It is more of a background trait.
B. You can't psychoanalyse yourself, and you haven't had a chance to confess to others yet. You all grieved some at the hospital, then made your way to the library to figure out what is going on.

Just chill, it isn't a huge loss, and you aren'y going to be ambushed and terrified anytime soon, so it's a minor loss. I might give you your point back, but don't try to argue this when we start encounteirng supernatural horrers and your taking larger D's worth of sanity damage.

[Squishy Cheeks]

i'm not complaing. i'm just stating, confession makes me feel better.

[Forever Zero]

That may be, but like I pointed out, you haven't had a chance for confession yet, and the original point was you getting sanity points back for Religion. However, am I misunderstanding? I thought you meant you wanted the 1 Sanity point you lost back because of your religion... I'm just not on the ball tonight, I feel like an idiot...

Yes, if the question is actually, in the future say on free time if you can go to confession to regain sanity points, then yes, but only if your character is devout (Yours is), and it can only be done once per rest period, aka once for each break in between missions.

REPOST: Geez, is the RP that bad? In the name of advancing the story, does anyone have anything to say/do? And anyone with a high History or Archeology skill can examine the gold box...

REPOST 2: Any suggestions for how to keep the RP going? No one wants to post, and reasons/suggestions are welcome...

[Krylo]

I'm just waiting for one of my character's skills to become useful. And IHMN beat me to opening the box... Basically, for the time being, he's kind of subdued due to the death of a friend, and nothing that seems he would be useful for has popped up.

[IHateMakingNames]

Did I permantatly lose a sanity point for skimming? It says 88/89, the 89 used to be a 90, which meant my max SPs...

[Forever Zero]

Yep, as Cthulhu Mythos goes up, Max sanity goes down. And you gained a CM point for reading the book...

[IHateMakingNames]

Who's read the journal so far? I assumed only David had, and at most everyone else just got a summary from him.

[Forever Zero]

Yes, David has the full story, everyone else just got whatever David felt like telling them. It takes 4 hours to read the book from cover to cover, so currently David is the expert on what is in the book and the potential situation.

EDIT: Idea, someone with a high INT could try and fast talk the librarian into helping find a book on transalting Egyptian while you all debate. It is samll and won't take long, and consider the Librarian an automatic assist. You would just need a Library Use roll.

[Forever Zero]

Just to sort this out, Demon is going to investigate the house alone, and kryo and Sith are going to translate the box?

[Krylo]

I'm not sure what Demon is doing... but yah, me and sith are going to translate. Also, I think... now that I see that neat idea, Frankie could do a fast talk with the librarian to get them some more help finding the books, as well.

And looks like IHMN is heading to the cop shop to find out if the murder and what have you really happened.

[Forever Zero]

That can be found in the library's newspaper section. Another Library Use and Fast Talk roll is on the way...

EDIT: However, there are police reports as well if he wants to use them.

EDIT 2: Ecurt has joined the search for Mr. Allen. Does that group want to use the library or the police station?

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'm going to go look through religious tomes for anything useful.

[IHateMakingNames]

I would think police reports might be easier seeing as David is a detective, and more accurate because they are police reports.

And your time lapse are some what annoying/confusing, seeing as you just skipped an hour and only mentioned two people out of four who had plans...

[Forever Zero]

So, you would be going to a church, or staying in the library?

EDIT: It means those two people are now one hour ahead. They are sort of stuck in their time bubble until everyone else catches up. You will all be worked out tomarrow into one cohesive group... And Demon, isn't it getting late, Game Time, to check on the house?

EDIT2: It looks something like this.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Going to church.

[Forever Zero]

Well... Demon is investigating the house solo... This will be interesting. Note, since it is 7 game time, this will most likely be an all nighter... And since he is going off on his own, his actions at the house will be in PMs...

EDIT JADGuy: Alright, nothing in the scenario about doing a church search so I don't know what you could turn up, but you can try.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Investigating the house, alone, with the long shadows, floorboards creaking ...

I'm invetsigating the study. Mayhaps, the Doctor's private library (if he, indeed, had one).

And from what I'm getting from your questioning, it's 7 and you're wondering if I think it's a little late for a room search?

Naw. I have a ride home. (My own).

[Forever Zero]

Oh Jadguy, forgot to ask, what exactly are you looking for?

[Sithdarth]

I have this funny feeling that this house we are going to investigate might end up being our base. Any truth to that?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Demon: This house is evil, I tells ya! Evil! EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!
Sith: Demon, you said that about your hotel room.
Demon: I just want attention ...

[Forever Zero]

Oh, it won't be. Demon can tell the team about it when he gets back...

[Squishy Cheeks]

Exorcism for dummies?

I just figured the Catholic church has been around for a long time they might have some kind of useful information.

[Forever Zero]

This generally falls under the more paganistic rituals, so in older years the Church most likely burned and destroyed the books that would help here, but I'll search through the rulebook and see what I can turn up for you to find that will be helpful.

Sadly, all that will need to wait till tomarrow. It's just about 1:00 here, and I've got school tomarrow. Later all.

[Krylo]

I'm guessing that he'd get some information on it, but probably mostly wrong. I doubt an american church will have any of the real 'tomes' that the vatican might have (probably even including true mythos books).

[Sithdarth]

Goodnight FZ; and if this RP is halve has fun as it has been so far I think we may just finish it.

[Krylo]

Finish it? Screw that... if it keeps being this fun I say we just keep sending people out on new missions, and when someone's character dies they make up a new one to enter with the rest of the group if they want... and it keeps going until we get tired of it.

Also, J-Man: From what I understand, Cthulu is rather unforgiving... seeming as no one has replied to that yet, you may want to you know... not go out to the farm house with an evil demon in it at night without any information...

And it's not going all that fast... considering how many people we have in it. Also, until FZ does all the stuff for everyone... we're all pretty much in seperate times, so we can't really go with you. For me and sith it's midnight, and he's probably heading to a hotel, while I head to a park (yes, my character, being a drifter and having no money, will be sleeping in a park). For you it's about 7 pm.

On a side note, and totally off topic, adding the word turkey to the front of any lunchmeat makes it taste about ten times better.

[J Man]

Also, J-Man: From what I understand, Cthulu is rather unforgiving... seeming as no one has replied to that yet, you may want to you know... not go out to the farm house with an evil demon in it at night without any information...

Yeh, I know, but Jim can be kinda stupid at times, so he's bringing the journal, for directions inside the house or something.

[IHateMakingNames]

Also, Demon has the journal, not you JMan. He took it first (A couple of post above yours)

[Tor]

Bum clouds, where gonna get lost.

[CelesJessa]

I'm in the process of reading through the RP, (since it is only 4 pages) but it is a LOT of reading.

If somebody could just go over what's happening with everyone at the moment, (are we all together? what are we looking for at the moment, or what are we doing, etc) it would help a lot, I just wanna make sure I don't accedentally skip over anything while quickly reading through the RP, ^^; But nobody has to, I'm sure I'll manage.

[IHateMakingNames]

The group is... somewhere...

krylo and Sith are several hours ahead of us.

Demon left to go some where (I do not know where)

JMan and Tor, no idea.

I'm going to go to the police station, but apparently haven't yet since FZ hasn't made a post about my guy.

[Tor]

I and JMan is heading to the barn to check out if the summoning realy happened or something

[Dr DR]

I'm just outside the library with those other guys. I don't know what the hell I'm doing really.

[Forever Zero]

Trying to review as best as I can...

It is 7:00 PM for you, Celes.

krylo and Sith are busy researching, they will be busy until the library closes at midnight.

Demon left, with the journel to investigate the house. This is VERY dangerous, and not recommended... For future note and to avoid misunderstanding (Demon seems to believe that the house is the house of Merriweather), THE House in question that holds the beast is an abandoned old farmhouse outside of the small town of Ross' Corner. Merriweather was semi-rich, and had other houses he lived in.

J Man and Tor are following Demon, but without the deed to the house (Demon took it to) they will have a hard time getting there, and may get lost.

Dr DR is trying to follow everyone else, but they all left. He will need to get a cab and follow J Man and crew and hope they go the right way.

IHMN is going to the police station to investigate if the story Merriweather told the police is documented to see if this is all just insane rambling.

JADGuy seems to be taking this all in faith (Taking it in Faith! He's a priest! I make the funny!), and is at the nearest Catholic Church and is looking for anything that could inform him of what is happening.

Anyone not mentioned is at the library, waiting around and doing nothing. I may drop some people if they don't post, both to make this manageable, and to clear them up so I don't have to keep track of them anymore.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'm at the Cathedral in Boston. The Cardinal's library would be more extensive than a priests.

[Forever Zero]

Then your pretty far away. I'll factor that in to your time usage.

[CelesJessa]

So, what would be a good thing for my character to do at the moment (or anyone to go with at the moment) (just trying to figure out a way to get my character in. ^^; ) What kinds of things still need investigating that my character could do?

[IHateMakingNames]

Demon is long gone, and krylo/Sith are even further.

So if your going to tag with some one, either Ecurt (Though I think he might be with Dr, who I thought was following krylo), or me (I think everyone else is gone).

Or do your own thing, whatever that may be.

[Forever Zero]

Well if you help either JAD or IHMN, it will speed up their search, but IHMN will have a harder time trying to get you into the police station since you have no police ID. You can join Dr DR and try to follow the others to the house and see what is going on there. The only thing left to look into is the De Vermiis Mysteriis, but you are going to need to be really good to get access to it because it is restricted, and in the Miskatonic University Library (Oh yeah, that is the library you all are in by the way, since it is the biggest in Arkham.)

[IHateMakingNames]

I figured Demon/JMan/Tor were going to die since they are going into the house with some evil demon (I think it's supposed to be Cthulh) who will rip them apart.

And you can just walk into police stations you know, but she wouldn't be able to go past the restricted areas (Though we both are fast talkers).

Edit - Didn't Jad just say he was already gone?

[Forever Zero]

It isn't Cthulhu, there is only one Cthulhu, and he can't be summoned, only contacted. There is a long, LONG list of lesser monsters that aren't gods in the book. This is one of them.

Regardless, if any of them fail a luck roll, it will turn very ugly very fast...

And the records are in a semi-restricted area. A detective (IHMN) has access being a cop, but a civilian (Celes) does not, note being a cop. It would just take a Fast Talk from IHMN to get her through (FT from IHMN since he is the only own with the ability to get back there on his own, and just needs to convince the clerk Celes is okay to bring.)

[CelesJessa]

The only thing left to look into is the De Vermiis Mysteriis, but you are going to need to be really good to get access to it because it is restricted, and in the Miskatonic University Library (Oh yeah, that is the library you all are in by the way, since it is the biggest in Arkham.)

"Really good" at what? Fast talking? Or library research skills? She could handle fast talking, but I odn't know HOW fast of a talker she would have to be.

[Forever Zero]

Only a Persuade Roll and evidence of Mythos will make Dr. Armitage, the head of the library, give you access to the book. And you will need someone that speaks Latin to read it. And it takes far more then 4 hours to read the book...

[CelesJessa]

Only a Persuade Roll and evidence of Mythos will make Dr. Armitage, the head of the library, give you access to the book. And you will need someone that speaks Latin to read it. And it takes far more then 4 hours to read the book...

In that case, I think I'll have her go with IHMN or somebody else that she could follow and be helpful. ^^;; (my character feels so useless at the moment, that's what I get for being gone all the time turn spring break.)

[Krylo]

I'm coming out of invisible mode for this RP, so that you can see when I'm around for fights, and whether I'll be able to take my own turns or not. Just to let you know, FZ.

[Forever Zero]

An epic moment in RP history, and even board history! That really will help when it comes to battle though, so thanks. There will be at least one battle, if not two or three before this mission is over...

Anyway, I won't say how the situation at the house will turn out until later...

[Krylo]

I still get the feeling it will turn out with at least one out of three corpses being mangled and found by the other investigators... leading to unneccessary sanity checks for all of us. Damn them anyway.

And yes... it is an epic moment in board history. I've NEVER been visible on these forums, or even the TWC forums. However, like you said, it will help out when it comes to battle.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'm one of the few latin speakers (this is prior to Vatican 2 So mass would be in Latin.), and I might be able to persuade him for the book, but unlikely. If celes wants she could say she came with me.

[Forever Zero]

Sorry, I already included her with IHMN. You went to the library, and made a discovery that will help, but I couldn't give you too much. And the thing in the story is not meant to banish this demon (There is a way, you will discover it later), but it is one of the only spells I found that a Priest of any Christain religion would use, since most if not all of the spells in Call are based on Voodoo, Paganism, or other foul magic that any sane Priest wouldn't dare use. You may find out how to cast this spell later though...

[Squishy Cheeks]

until then I guess I'll just use the good ole "The power of Christ compels you.... The power of Christ compels you.... The power of Christ compels you.... The power of Christ compels you.... The power of Christ compels you.... "

[IHateMakingNames]

Did all of the demon summoning group people live in Boston? If they did, all their info would probably be in the station as well.

[Forever Zero]

Yes, well, they all didn't live in Bosten, but I believe I said that in the journel, he has newspaper articles about when each of them died...

[IHateMakingNames]

Oh, well I did not know that, but David would, and he just happened to have written down death dates along with the names when he was writing things on the notepad... That ok?

Also, don't you have to roll to see if all gun shots work, and where they hit? (Referring to JMans shot at Gab)

[Forever Zero]

Yes, but considering his mental state, and that it wasn't an aimed shot, I'll allow his poor aim. He will lose a bullet in his gun however.

And the taking of notes is alright. In your notebook, you basically copied down all the summaries I provided.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

You just want me dead, rules lawyer. *sticks out tongue*

[Forever Zero]

If I wanted you dead, I would have rolled, called it a critical miss, and proclaimed he accidently hits you in the head...

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Whoops! Not you, Zero. I was refering to Pigtails.

[Forever Zero]

Ahh yes, our other resident rules lawyer.

[Darth SS]

See my post in the RP, and please respond to it.

And i missed Demon almost getting shot in the head? Damnation.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

See my post in the RP, and please respond to it.

And i missed Demon almost getting shot in the head? Damnation.

Could be worse, Captain TellshisPast. You could have watched the closest thing you ever had to a father get stuck onto the wall via knives, and shot in various spots that wouldn't kill him. You may have had to watch as your sister got raped, and then have all her limbs blown off by shotgun blasts until she was just a torso.

[Forever Zero]

Well someone is in a touchy mood tonight...

[J Man]

FZ, I think you ought to start writing what happens when we go into the cellar now, since we're about to.

[Forever Zero]

Alright, one cellar description coming right up.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Touchy?

That passage is the greatest piece of Roleplaying Literature ever to come out of anywhere!

I'm just giving it, and it's writer, the due publicity.

[IHateMakingNames]

Do you haved that saved somewhere on your computer?

[Darth SS]

*a wire comes out of nowhere and strangles Demon*

*SS walks away, and tightens tie, after leaving Demon's corpse hanging from a rafter it's tied to*


It's like he saw that one line. ONE. Forgot the entire intent and purpose behind it, and said, "OMG! I"VER N3VER SEEN ANYTHUIONG LIKEE TIHS!"

Spelling mistakes intentional.

[Forever Zero]

Do you haved that saved somewhere on your computer?

Sounds like a yes to me considering how fast he whipped that out...

[Krylo]

It's like he saw that one line. ONE. Forgot the entire intent and purpose behind it, and said, "OMG! I"VER N3VER SEEN ANYTHUIONG LIKEE TIHS!"Yah Demon. So don't ever call him a hack. He's not a hack... some people write like that because they ENJOY IT!

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

I'm being completely sincere!

"... closest thing I ever had to a father get stuck onto the wall via knives, and shot in various spots that wouldn't kill him .."

Via knives? Via? Via knives! That right there is literary genius!

You people, even you S.S., don't seem to realize the rich majesty of this peice. It's literary genius. Not only do I have it saved, I've submitted it to several Editors with absolute rave reviews!

[Darth SS]

Someone shut him up before I do.

And my original question still has to be answered.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Fine. I'll stop teasing you. I'll just tease someone else. Like IHMN.

David quickly glanced at his wrist watch. "It's ten o' clock, and I don't remember anyone mentioning anything about meeting up. So want to go do get a drink, or want me to just drop you off at your hotel?"

Welcome to TeenLuvChat4U Forums.

[IHateMakingNames]

Coming from a grown man teasing male high school students to get attention...

[Krylo]

Hey, picking on kids is fun, kiddo.

And, on that note... are Demon and I the only two here that are out of highschool?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Can't be. Dante is out too, isn't he?

And Zero, you're in College aren't you?

And is Twenty One actually considered a 'Grown Man' age???

[IHateMakingNames]

I thought you were older then 21, possibly around 24 (Never checked if you have your birthday in your profile or not)

[Krylo]

And is Twenty One actually considered a 'Grown Man' age???Only when you're a teenager in highschool.

Also... I thought I'd heard FZ talking about getting into college... although you're right about Dante. He's out. I just momentarily forgot about him because he's always off with the mosquitos in the jungles... making freakish half-man, half-giant insect off spring, due to his inability to bone the female medics.

[Forever Zero]

Dante, Demon, krylo, and JADGuy are all out of highschool (I believe.).

I am in my senior year of Highschool. It is Hell. I await the day I can escape it and get into college. Me getting into college is a long subject I don't want to get into...

He's out. I just momentarily forgot about him because he's always off with the mosquitos in the jungles... making freakish half-man, half-giant insect off spring, due to his inability to bone the female medics.

That is wrong on so many levels...

[Truce]

Krylo - Answering your question about if you and Demon are the only ones who are out of highschool, no. Dante's not, and I'm pretty sure Ren isn't either. However, excluding them, and including only the roleplayers, probably.

FZ - Sorry I haven't been around. For some reason I'm a lot busier than I had thought I would be. (Translation: I spend more time sleeping now, heh)

[Squishy Cheeks]

Any gains on my cult research?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Twenty Two this year.

Dante should be back soon, too. He's only going to be making insect love children until the 29th or so ...

Hmm. A new Cthulhu threat ... Attack of the Insectoid Love Children!

[Krylo]

Ren's in her senior year of highschool...

Edit: Sounds like we've got our second mission!

Also... Demon's about the same age as me. I too will be 22 this year. Damn... I can't call everybody "Damn kids" anymore...

[Forever Zero]

Ecurt - No problem. You checked in at one point, so I know you were interested. Spirit hasn't in a long time though, and he may be out soon.

Jad - That was that pseudo-Mythos we were talking about earlier, so no, no Mythos points yet. You will get some soon however...

Demon - That's... Um... Ew...

And a sanity update.

[J Man]

You lowered my total sanity! SON OF A-!!!

[Forever Zero]

It will happen to everyone eventually. First time you truly encounter a Mythos Beast, you immediatly gain 5% Mythos, and lose the corresponding number of Sanity. It only happens once though. from now on, you can only Perma-Lose Sanity when you read Mythos books, or see special Mythos signs.

[J Man]

Alrighty then. So um, let's see, how are we going to contact eachother to get day two running?

[IHateMakingNames]

We call each other/happen to be staying at the same hotel (Besides krylo and people who live in Boston)?

Edit - Since alcohol is illegal (I think), what places are opened at night exactly?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Or we all return to Arkham Library?

I amended some inconsistencies in my last post, Zero. Bringing them to your attention.

[Krylo]

Well my character and Sith's could have arranged a meeting for the next day seeming as they both wanted to go look at that house... and have been working together so far... so if everyone else happened to be staying at the same hotel, they could set it up with Alan (sith's character), and he could get Frankie (mine).

[Squishy Cheeks]

Speakeasies?

[Forever Zero]

krylo's idea sounds easily workable. We might go with that. If there aren't any objections, I'll officially start Day 2.

EDIT: How did I miss that... IHMN and Celes, you would need to go to an illegal Speakeasy to get a "drink"... Unless you go to some little cafe type thing...

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Yes ... but I still have the key. And the Deed. So anyone going to the house would need to find me first ... Unless they broke in.

[Forever Zero]

You didn't lock the door on your way out...... And don't try to edit it now, it's not a big deal anyway. J Man at least knows how to get there, so the others would be fine.

[Krylo]

I'm thinking Frankie and Sith would probably decide to meet at the library... after all they found out about that Mu thing too, and it's the only place they both know that the other can find (other than the hospital)... and might use that and the gold box to get the mythos book thingie from professor snootybottom or whatever. Whether they do that before or after going to the house with everyone else is up in the air.

Edit: Other than IHMN being a cop, it'd be really easy for them to find a speakeasy. It would be like a teenager today trying to score pot...

[J Man]

But did you lock the door to the house?

[IHateMakingNames]

Eh, I doubt my cop would go do illegal things (Though I bet many did drink back then), so just say that they went somce place, then went to the hotel (We all are staying in the same hotel right?).

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Already did. Before I read your post. Sorry.

edit- Refering to Zero, of course.

[Forever Zero]

Alright, I'm goning to post with krylo's plan for Day 2. You can discuss game plan in the RP or here.

[Krylo]

You're going with my plan because I rock. Just admit it.

Also, you could easily rationalize it by that hotel being the closest to the hospital... thus it's only natural that they'd all try to get rooms there.

[IHateMakingNames]

Technically the main part of the plan is mine, seeing as I said it first. You just added in how your guy would be involved, as well as a reason for us all being at that one hotel.

[J Man]

Well, I guess we're all staying at the same hotel then, even though my character has a house.

[IHateMakingNames]

A house in Boston/near Boston? If so, then I guess your going to think up a way to met us all yourself.

[J Man]

Well, he's staying at the hotel anyway.

[Forever Zero]

J Man, is the "Jeez", already in how fast I advanced the RP? Well, I am taking into account, everyone is either in bed, or on their way to bed, so there wasn't anymore to post on that. It just needed the jump to keep it flowing.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I think I'll edit my post

[Squishy Cheeks]

How's my history roll on the middle kingdom thing?

[Forever Zero]

You won't recognize any more then has already been said. The history roll was to recognize Middle Kingdom in the first place. All the important info has been given. Thus, the History roll turns up nothing new.

[IHateMakingNames]

What murder is being brought up exactly? I don't remember anyone being murdered...

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'm going to sing the Hastur doom song.
Ohh Hastur! Hastur Hastur Hastur Hastur Hastur Hastur HasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHa sturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHast urHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHastur HasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHa sturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHast urHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHasturHastur HasturHasturHastur Hastur Hastur.

[Forever Zero]

There was a quick mention of the murder of Marion Allen. It isn't hugely important, but I can give the full details. Just assume IHMN reads this to everyone.

A Mr. Marion Allen was murdered today (This was 30 years ago, not literally today) at the docks. According to police, it was a robbery gone wrong. Mr. Allen's last known contact was with the police that same day. He calimed that some strange men were after him, and wanted a box and a piece of amber he didn't have anymore. The police thought he was mildly mad, and tunred him out. They are now looking very closely into the case to see what may have happened, and who these "Mysterious" figures were tailing Mr. Allen.

EDIT: Jad's insides turn to liquid, then he explodes. Hastur pops up and devours the messy remains, then leaves.

[J Man]

Uhh, FZ, I kinda forgot if I saw it directly. Did I?

[Krylo]

I think the monster is invisible... that's what it seemed like after reading everything on it so far. Had to throw stuff on it for the people summoning it to see it... and there was no mention of the sight of it, just feeling it woosh past you, etc.

[Forever Zero]

No, the monster is invisable. You felt it in a way, and you can hear it, but it can't be seen by the naked eye.

[Forever Zero]

So you have all basically agreed to go to the house now?

[IHateMakingNames]

Demon is thinking of going to the old mans house, and wants the detective to go with him, while the detective was going to go to the house.

[Forever Zero]

Is that the only debate left? Work it out in the RP. My recomendation is the house... In game, just call me a hunch...

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, my guy is going to the house. Should I say he gives Celes' character a ride so shes with everyone else, and then two other people as well (Probably krylo and sith)?

[Krylo]

I don't care who I ride with, could be you or Jim. Either or... Lazy is going with Jim though, I believe.

[Forever Zero]

It will all work out. There will be cabs for anyone that doesn't have a ride. And quick question, does anyone plan on stopping in town? Or just go straight to the house? Doesn't matter either way, house is easier.

[IHateMakingNames]

New RP thread and new discussion thread?

Edit - And in no post in the RP thread is the door relocked...

Edit 2 - Want to add something about David taking the journal back from Gab before leaving?

[Forever Zero]

http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=77128&postcount=82

And sure, say he accidently left it on the table, and you grabbed it as you left...

[Krylo]

You told him not to edit that. The bastard! Anyway... if Jim can't kick it open, Frankie's just gonna shoot the lock... seeming as Tor isn't actually here to pick it.

[IHateMakingNames]

Puh, it was editted after you mentioned it...

[Forever Zero]

Answer given, but I'm going to bed before you can learn more about the Back Door. I'm slowly intruding more, so a good nights rest will set me back on track.

And JADGuy, what is Father William doing if he isn't with the others?

J Maaaaan, this is your spirit adviserrrrrr... You can call me Cthulhuuuuuu, muahahahahaaaaaaa...

Just kidding, just moving the plot along without you guys demolishing the front door.

[Squishy Cheeks]

He's looking for the mystery of the worm.

[Forever Zero]

... What? It really is late, my brain is failing on me. What is the "Mystery of the Worm"?

[Squishy Cheeks]

De Vermis Mysteriis = The mysteries of the worm in latin.

[Krylo]

Wouldn't that put him with Neil... seeming as FZ mentioned that the one professor guy has it, and that's part of what Neil would probably do with the gold thing trying to find out about Mu?

[Forever Zero]

Ahh, I didn't actually translate it. I will cover that tomarrow, along with what all the others are doing.

[Sithdarth]

I'm in trouble now. It seems that at least one person here might actually know the stupidity of my sig.

[J Man]

I'm in trouble now. It seems that at least one person here might actually know the stupidity of my sig.
JAD, go, go, translate his sig!

[Forever Zero]

If I wanted, I have a program to translate Latin. I just never bothered to, in regards to both your sig, and the title of the book.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Da mihi sis cervisium dilutum.

Carpe praeda et irrumare id.

[Sithdarth]

You will be disapointed. I just thought it was funny at the time and the fact that no one actually knows what it says, most of the time, makes it a nice inside joke for me.

Edit: Oh i cant really translate latin, yet. I just found it while doing a web search and thought it was funny.

[IHateMakingNames]

A literal translation is messy, but it sounds like "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck would? (Then something about Latin words...)"

[Squishy Cheeks]

Cupio irrumariste et coitus, nunc.

[Forever Zero]

I can't translate most of what JADGuy said however... All I got was, "You may be" in the first line, and the words, "Plunder and" in the second line... This translater is crap...

[Sithdarth]

Translated into good english it says:

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck. Everything said in latin sounds profound.

You should also know what it says under my name which isn't so funny but is how I think of myself.

[IHateMakingNames]

Jad's first to words are "Give me", but then the next two words aren't registered as latin..

Second sentence is about gay oral sex.

[Squishy Cheeks]

translations of mine

I'll have a light beer.

Seize the booty, and lick the p****

Irrumare just means to penetrate orally, it is not hole specific.

[Forever Zero]

The second thing he says has "Desire" and "now" in it, but other then that I'm stumped.

Now I'm sort of glad I missed the translation...

[Squishy Cheeks]

you don't want to know.

[Forever Zero]

Good to know that our Latin Translation Specialist's main skill is saying things in Latin he really shouldn't say in English... or ever in any langauge...

[Krylo]

Noli admirari quare tibi femina nulla,
FZ, velit tenerum supposuisse femer,
non si illam rarae labefactes munere vestis
aut perluciduli deliciis lapidis.
laedit te quaedam mala fabula, qua tibi fertur
valle sub alarum trux habitare caper.
hunc metuunt omnes; neque mirum: nam mala valdest
bestia, nec quicum bella puella cubet.
quare aut crudelem nasorum interfice pestem,
aut admirari desine cur fugiant

[Squishy Cheeks]

Here's one to use when someone pisses you off. phallum equum fellatias

[Forever Zero]

I can guess what JAD just said from the first word at least, but I have no clue what krylo said, other then that it includes me.

[Krylo]

Wonder not, FZ, why none of the opposite sex
wishes to place her dainty thighs beneath you,
not even if you undermine her virtue with gifts of choice
silk or the enticement of a pellucid gem.
You are being hurt by an ugly rumour which asserts
that beneath your armpits dwells a ferocious goat.
This they fear, and no wonder; for it's a right rank
beast that no pretty girl will go to bed with.
So either get rid of this painful affront to the nostrils
or cease to wonder why the ladies flee.


It's actually an alteration to a real roman insult poem about a guy named Rufus... I just replaced Rufae with FZ...

[Forever Zero]

Hmm, thanks for that. I think I preferred it when I couldn't understand it... Now I need to find that blasted book of Latin quotes so I can come up with something biting in return...

Oh, and I will make up two new threads for tomarrow.

[Krylo]

Here's another one:

Multus homo es, Naso, neque tecum multus homo est qui
descendit. Naso, multus es et pathicus.

"You're a lot of man, Naso, but not many men wish to know you. Naso, you're a lot of man, and a fag."

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Just like to point out that I changed the 'he locks the door' post before I read the 'don't bother, Demon' post. So there.

And I didn't want IHMN to come with me. Gabriel was thinking about how to get into the Doctor's house legally. The Detective's help isn't paramount. But it would make things easier.

I can get in without him. Again, so there.

[Dante]

Now that was frigging fast.

I won't be able to post normally until the 28th, due to such reasons as lack of cash and the need for cash for the internet. And if the damn internet company decides to cancel my ADSL subscription along the way, I may not be posting period.

Doubtlessly, many of you have eagerly anticipated this. The upshot of all of this is that Tommy will probably only be joining the group after the first mission. Kakugo, minna-san!

And now back to our regularly scheduled roleplaying.

[Tor]

Hmm just borrowed a danish version of the necronomicon, damn I hate danish

[Krylo]

Tor: Get on during the american day and it won't seem so fast. Well... ok, it will still seem sorta fast... but not as bad. Around 9:00 pm GMT -6.

Dante: Get some goddamn money!

[Dr DR]

Then again... some of us aren't willing to stay up till 2/3 in the morning to interact with Americans. We Europeans need sleep too you know.

[Squishy Cheeks]

http://www.energizer.com/learning/historyofflashlights.asp

[Forever Zero]

Seriously JAD, how much time do you spend looking this stuff up?

However, with this new revelation (And the knowledge that the RPG Book left out a critical invention), AFTER the current mission, anyone that wants one can get a Flashlight (I never knew they tried to call them DAYLO's... That sounds sort of dumb, I'm glad it didn't catch on...)

[Krylo]

Then again... some of us aren't willing to stay up till 2/3 in the morning to interact with Americans. We Europeans need sleep too you know.I stay up until 2/3 in the morning to interact with you europeans. Well, actually I do it because I have trouble sleeping before the sun rises, but that's beside the point.

And anyway... the americans kind of outnumber the norwegians... and the americans that go to bed at decent hours outnumber me. Ergo, we end up with a lot of stuff happening around 9:00 pm GMT -6. It really can't be helped, and the only way to make it not seem like it's going fast would be to get online at that time.

On an unrelated note: does the forum seem super slow today to anyone else?

[Forever Zero]

Yes, the forum is just doing insanely slow right now. May have to do with all those network changes they were talking about.

[Dante]

I stay up until 2/3 in the morning to interact with you europeans. Well, actually I do it because I have trouble sleeping before the sun rises, but that's beside the point.

You think that's bad? I'm on GMT -8 and my morning is most Americans' night. Best of all - I have WORK. Damn nation.

Incidentally, that was addressed to the guy krylo was addressing and not to krylo himself.

As for krylo - Insomnia is good. Insomnia gives you postcount. Insomnia makes you a murderous antisocial bastard who waits behind the computer ready to leap out of a window and violently murder a hapless passer-by, drink their blood, and offer his heart to the moon while crooning insane paeans of praise to Luna, Argent Goddess of the Night...

...Or something like that. And yes, I got some more money. No, it did not involve murder. No, I will not be on very often until I get back. Yes, I am still slightly hung over. No, I always act like this.

*Rolls off the chair and dies*

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

*wanders by, notices Dante's corpse, and spends the next three days re-enacting scenes from Weekend at Bernies*

[lazy man]

Shouldn't there be a new thread already?

[Dante]

*wanders by, notices Dante's corpse, and spends the next three days re-enacting scenes from Weekend at Bernies*

I do not know if I want to know...

[Krylo]

I don't know no Bobby Daniels, I've never drank anyone's blood, and me and Luna are JUST FRIENDS!

[IHateMakingNames]

New threads?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

...Bobby Daniels...

I dunno why, but that kinda reminds me of:

Mix equal parts mom, and equal parts dad ... stir together - Mmmmm. That's good Billy!

[Forever Zero]

First off, I haven;t read anything, but HOLD ON! The website is going nuts (For me at least, don't know about the rest of you), and doing anything takes an eternity and a half. So let me try and catch up to what is going on in the RP, and in the discussion.

Second, new threads in a sec, since now is a good time for transition while everyone just got the bobmshell of what and how to stop this thing. Stop posting in the old thread, and wait for new ones. You can post here as normal until I get a new discussion up.

I am now going to slowly catch up on what is going on. My first post in the new discussion will adress whatever questions/comments may have been brought up.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Yess, well, if that's the case now would be an excellent time to tell you that I will be absent from these boards for the remainder of the night starting in about ...

Now!

(Seriously. Probably won't be back until about 10pm. Which I think is 12pm your time ...)
