IC: Ch 6f: To the House (Sonny & Michael)

[BenTheRat]

Location: The Haunted House, 121 Norman St.
Date: March 22, 1921, 2 PM
.
The house doesn't look much better in the daylight than it did in the dark.

[Silver Priest]

"This place gives me the creeps." Michael offers, repressing a slight chill." Though that could just be because I'm willing to put more faith in witchcraft and the like now."

"I've not been in it yet though. What's it like on the inside?"

[BenTheRat]

As you sit in the car, Jordie and Charles walk up to the car.
.
Charles waves to the two getting out of the car and approaches. "Hey, there. What happened at the Museum?" he asks, his tone betraying his anxiety.

[DetectiveSocks]

"What a pleasant surprise to see y'all here," Jordie cues in and mimics Charles gesture.

[Silver Priest]

"Hello to you both. Good to see I can let you out of my sight without mischief occurring.

"As for the museum, eh. Harrison fiddled around with the book a bit. He was making progress, but it was slow. Eventually Sonny and got tired of waiting and left. I didn't want to just sit around. I prefer sitting around outside the haunted house.

"How about the both of you? Find anything? You seem a bit out of sorts."

[Occigon]

"Nothing," says Charles, seemingly relieved that opening the book did not appear to have led to tragic consequences. "He didn't recognize the knife, and I didn't see anything in the store that looked like it could be linked to our little adventure."

[Papa Gateau]

Hey! So do we fancy a peek inside the house? Are we going to wait for the others or shall we go straight on in? I was just reminding Michael about the layout and the fact that I think we need to get behind the locked door - I'm guessing leads to the basement.

[Occigon]

"Do the others know to meet us here?" asks Charles. "If so, perhaps we could wait for them - and think of a plan to go through the house while we wait."

[DetectiveSocks]

"I'm not really in the mood to jump feet first into hell just yet," Jordie pulls out a small journal from her satchel, "I'll be in the car if you boys need me." Jordie saunters back to the car and climbs into the backseat, kicking her feet up and taking her time for some light reading.

[BenTheRat]

Jordie,which journal are you reading?

[DetectiveSocks]

OOC,I only have one, [i]'Chapel of Contemplation & Church of Our Lord Granter of Secrets - Official Minutes'[/i]

[Silver Priest]

"Probably best we wait for everyone else. The house isn't going anywhere. But eh I've been sitting on my rear all day. If you want to go inside and investigate Sonny, I'm up for joining you."

[BenTheRat]

Jordie,my bad I thought you had stowed it in the other car, you just said stow it. Its good. Do you wish to read it cover to cover, or skim it hoping to spot something or look for something specific?

[DetectiveSocks]

OOC,I would just read the first few entries, then spoil myself and read the last couple of entries"

[BenTheRat]

Jordie,The first few entries dated in Jan 1860, have to do with completing the chapel construction and recruitment of new members. The final few entries data in 1912, have more to do with summoning the one who cannot be named, and that more children are needed to complete the ritual completely. Then it just ends.

[DetectiveSocks]

Jordie gets more comfortable in the car, leaning her back against the door as she puts her feet up on the seat, and dives into the meat of the journal.

[BenTheRat]

Jordie,It will take several hours to get through the whole thing.

[DetectiveSocks]

Jordie is ready for the long haul.

OOC,Shall I roll English Language?

[BenTheRat]

Jordie,no need, it will just take time.

[BenTheRat]

As Jordie is reading and the rest of you are trying to decide if you should wait or go into the house, Richard and Warren drive up.
