IC Ch 7: 224 School Street

[Mr. Handy]

"The dead man drew an arrow with his own blood that helped us find this," says Eddie, showing Richard the notebook he had found. "It has some useful information and a list of suspected cult members."

[Papa Gateau]

When Richard returns and at the sound of the two men talking Aunt Loosa wakes up, though she still looks extremely fatigued and drawn.

I'm sorry boys, I drifted off there she gets up and pours herself a coffee, adding a good spoonful of sugar to the cup.

Now Richard did I hear right or I was still dreaming and you said the man drove the car into the ocean with his wife still inside? she shakes her disbelievingly How did you get out of the car? Are you hurt? Do you need to see a doctor? A real one?

[Medri]

Charles gets up from his seat. "Do you need anything else to gather some warmth Richard?"

[Mr. Handy]

"If that even was his wife," says Eddie. "He lied about everything else, why should we believe him about that?"

[DrVendetta]

Richard responds "I don't think it was his wife and I jumped out of the car just as it was hitting the ocean. Did the notebook say anything about the chapel or anything other than a list of suspects? Was the woan from the hardware store on the list of suspects?"

[Mr. Handy]

"There was more in there," says Eddie, showing him the notebook and explaining what he found.

OOC,You can see it in [url=http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/viewtopic.php?p=171856#p171856]this post[/url].

Richard looks over the notebook and then looks up and says "Well I see our friend Phil is listed here, but I am concerned about this name here" and he stops short to look up to see if Angela is anywhere around.

[BenTheRat]

Angela is not in the room with you. You can see her bedroom door from the living room, and it is closed.

[DrVendetta]

After seeing that Angela is out of ear shot Richard ask "So what do you make of Rebecca being on this list?"

[Mr. Handy]

"Remember, she's just a suspect," says Eddie. "Her inclusion on this list doesn't necessarily mean that she's guilty, but we should be careful. We can't trust Rebecca unless we can clear her of involvement."

[Medri]

Charles turns to sit down again since he got no response. "Do you think we should go to the chapel or search for more information first?"

[Papa Gateau]

Aunt Loosa tries to stay engaged in the conversation but the day's events and whatever else she has got up to have taken their toll. Once again her gentle snores roll around the room.

[Mr. Handy]

"There could still be quite a crowd around the church tonight," says Eddie, "but night may be the best time to go inside unnoticed, and the longer we wait, the colder the trail will get."

[BenTheRat]

"Aunt Loosa looks beat, but I am up for whatever we decide to do tonight or in the morning." Richard adds.

[Mr. Handy]

"Perhaps it is too risky to go back there tonight," says Eddie. "Besides, I think we're all exhausted. Better to get some sleep now. Maybe our dreams will give us some more clues."

[BenTheRat]

As everyone heads off to their rooms, sleep comes in fits and spurts. You wake up during the night several times.

All of you have the same 2 dreams:

1. A spider web stretches across the land, with spiders crawling back and forth while their prey fly above it unaware of the danger. You are moving among the flies, and while you see the spiders below you they do not appear to be a threat. The spiders jump up from their web pulling you down to their web, and while you are laying in their web trapped, the spiders all gather around you, and begin to eat...


2. You are standing in a room holding a small candle. It's small flickering flame barely illuminates the area around you. It is fighting the opressive pressure you feel and the darkness that is trying to grab at you like tentacles. You almost run into a corner of the room that is jutting out towards you. You realize this room is unlike any you have been in before. You hear a rustling noise to your left. You turn to see but whoever or whatever it is, but you see onlyt the black. It is hidden in the dark crevices of the rooms archetecture. You feel the goosebumps on your skin, a chill runs up your back and the hairs on your neck stand to attention. You can hear the thing moving, sliding along the rocks, like a snake might move. You hear a raspy voice, deep and disturbing, not quite in the audible range of your ears. "help me" it says...

You wake covered in sweat, a chill from the morning air has seeped into the room, the sun is up and you can smell biscuits cooking in the house.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie takes a quick shower and gets dressed, then follows his nose down to the kitchen. He hopes that Aunt Loosa can interpret the dreams, because he isn't sure what they mean.

[DrVendetta]

Richard wakes up tired from a bad night of sleep with the nightmares. He gets up takes a shower and goes down to the kitchen for breakfeast with the others.

[BenTheRat]

OOC:   OK guys, you have to do something. What is the plan? If you guys are totally stumped let me know and I'll remind you of a few clues you haven't followed up on. But I don't want to lead you too much.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,My plan was to check out the church where we saw the other killer flee. I was just waiting for everyone to gather at breakfast.
