Betrayal Session 10

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The game starts with you in elevators, the doors jammed shut. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, but there's no introduction to today's game.

It's just as well. Those of you who recognize it need no introduction to it. Those of you who don't couldn't be prepared by any host's opening spiel, anyway.

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

BALLROOM

[idolpro]

[ You enter the Ballroom. In the center lies a marble slab dance floor meant for many bodies -- perhaps literally. Crime-scene outlines are traced in tape across the dance floor. Above, the avante garde scrap metal chandelier glimmers like knives, and the ballroom speakers pump a low thrum of bass into the room like a heartbeat you can feel in your ears, throat, and all through you.

There are entrances to the West, North, and East. ]

EVENT: MUTANT HOUSEPET

[idolpro]

A mewling. From inside the wall. A second yowl erupts from the same spot in the wall, a different feline voice. Two cats? You only hear one scratching to get out. Two heads? You claw at the plaster to find out.

You must attempt a speed roll of 4+. If you fail, take one point of physical damage from the pet's attack. If you succeed, gain 1 sanity and 1 speed for freeing it.

A cat...?

[pauses... putting a hand to the wall, before tearing at the plaster to let the poor creature out. rolled a 5! so gaining MORE sanity and speed for the attempt and freeing ... something?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Suddenly these chalk outlines have a whole new meaning...]

Was that a cat?

[asonoficeandfire]

It sounded like a cat.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

Whatever, we don't have time for that now.

If the layout is the same, there should be stairs somewhere south of here. And a coal chute in that direction---

[Points to the east]

[nohalation]

I'm glad you saved it!

[TO THE EAST]

[idolpro]

of course you end up in the study you nerds

1/2

[asonoficeandfire]

[whatever it is is staring at them from under a piece of plaster inside the wall before DARTING AWAY FURTHER INTO THE HOUSE]

Ah...!

[asonoficeandfire]

[...:( okay he relents. there are more important things going on]

I remember there's a study to the east... and then a room with fire damage to the south. and the coal chute is to the east of that... after that, I don't know, I got separated from Silence there.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If we can, I'd like to aim for the stairs.

Landing from the coal chute was... unfortunate. Last time.

[asonoficeandfire]

Aah, it was kind of painful.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... Did you fall?

[Okay, sorry. That's funny]

[asonoficeandfire]

... we both did.

And then somehow, I was in another room, the arsenal, I think. But I don't know the way there from here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The arsenal?

Don't remember that one.

[asonoficeandfire]

A room with weapons.
