William Archer

Post by kabukiman »

The voyage takes 1 hour. Innsmouth is at north; it seems very near (about 8-12 miles), but the bus is so slow that you think you would go faster at foot. You leave the forest behind and enter in swamps with rare vegetation. Finally Innsmouth. It's a sad place: the houses are ruined, and few persons are in the street; it's still day. The bus stops; it's in a central square and the driver says:
-We have arrived at Innsmouth. All passengers must leave (you are the only passenger).

As William gets of the bus, a sense of freedom came over him, The fresh air was very welcome.

After streching a little, william looked round the town.

Looking for any place of significance, a library maybe, somewhere he could get hold of a map.

Then started thinking about this Obed Marsh, perhaps he could still be in town, In a Bar no doubt, unless hes working.
In which case he should be at the docks, unless he`s out at sea.

William realises it could take a while to find him, if ever.
He trains his thought onto other things, more important things. First he would need a bed, and a hot meal.

Setting off slowly walking round the square, Frank takes in his surroundings and also looks for anything that looks unusual.

You see and old statue in the middle of the square, of a XVIII soldier (war of the independence); it lacks the head, and is full of dirt. In front of you (west) is an hotel (Gilliam House Hotel), on the left the First national grocery, the Innsmouth Cafe, behind the the Elliot drugstore, Billingham'sw Seafood distribution Company, the Marsh Refining Company. On the right, several ruined mansions.
Everybody look at you with suspicion.
Spot hiden roll please.

Most people have the same aspect of the bus driver: big bulge eyes, a strange colour of the skin (some seem scally), and a hostile look. The few normal persons avoid you completly like if they were afraid.

William was a little cautious on his approach to the Diner, Trying to blend in as much as he could.

William decides to have something to eat, that is, If it is good enough to eat, He thought.
He then entered the cafe.

The place is dark and dirty, smeling at fish. Only 2 clients are inside, a man (in his 40's) and a young women are serving them. They all have the same look like the bus driver.
-Yes, stranger?- asks the man.

After looking around the Diner William had decided not to have anything to eat, The smell was terrible.

"Hello Sir william replied",Also greeting the young lady with a nod of the head.

"I dont suppose you could help me? Im looking for a captain Obed Marsh. Would you happen to know this man"?
William studys there Body language, To see if they give anything away.

What the hell happened to these people! William thought about ordering a drink of water, but decided against it.
It could be the water that has done this to these people.

The hotel... It must had been a big hotel in other times. Now he is semi-ruined. You enter. At least the man behind the desk has a normal look.

William smiles as he approaches the front desk, "Good day sir, I`d` like a room please?".

"Single will do fine, I would like to book for three days please, for now, If thats ok of course?".

William looks around the entrance and wondered what had happen`d to this town.

He looks at you for a long time, and then says:
-3 days? I think we can find something, we have been terrible busy latelly. 2 dollars for night, no food. You will stay in the third floor, room 13. Please, follow me.
He takes a key, and leave the bagage for you take. Near your room, you see two couples (normal look) who look very surprise to you.

"Good day", says william passing the couple in the hall.

William then turns and asks the man why everyone seems so surprised to see him?
"Do you get many people visiting this town"? He also asks.

William will also look around for a clock, to find out what time it is.

The room is very decrepit. Broken window, bugs everywhere, some green fungus in the wall. But at least it has a bed.

William sets his stuff down on the bed and contemplates where he will visit next, Not wanting to spend as much time as possible in this disgusting room, How can a hotel in this state get very busy, He thinks.

After looking out of the window, William makes sure he has his gun with him, and all the cash he had on his person.
Then he made his way out of the Hotel.
