The Fall of Passholdt [Closed]

[ding_bots_are_done]

Who: Sam Ertswhile primordial , Sarah Snowdon dontrunawayfromliving  , M'gann M'orzz  hello_mgann , and Fumi Kanno terminally_clever 
What: The trapezohedron is acting up again, and four lucky winners get a free trip to see the final days of Passholdt. That is unless they do something about it.
Where: The town of Passholdt
Warnings: Monsters, mad science, possibly revenants. Also bracket spam because I'm lazy.

[Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, you felt a sudden and strange pull. The next thing you know, a flash of light washes across your vision. When it clears, you find yourself next to the gate of a large, walled town nestled in between several high mountains. Behind you is a canyon, with a single bridge reaching across and connecting the town to the road of the other side. Looking up, you can see a sign above the gate. Passholdt.

The town itself is bustling with activity, people buying, selling, working, cleaning.... All the things that make up a normal day. Careful observation will reveal that both the architecture and clothing are old fashioned. Anyone with enough familiarity with history might place them in the late nineteenth century.

What do you do?]


{{OOC: Basically just tag away. I'll be keeping tabs on it, and whenever you reach something that requires my input (Like talking to townsfolk, exploring various areas in detail, etc.) I'll chime in. For the purposes of general roleplaying, feel free to assume that the town has all of the things a normal European town from the 1890's would have. The local specialty is fried creme. If there's any questions, hit me up on plurk at flutterpony. The plot here has several possible endings, depending on your choices. Enjoy~ }}

[Fumi's eyebrow twitches three times. Once at Sarah's idea, once at Sam's refusal to cooperate with anything, and again at the sensation of someone talking directly into her mind. This is getting to be a little much.]

Is the ruse really necessary? It strikes me as nothing more than pointless pageantry.

[hello_mgann]

Now that you mention it, this plan does seem a bit overcomplicated. Really if anyone should be bait it should be me. I can shape shift and keep you guys informed of what's going on. I don't necessarily want to be bait for a mad scientist, but I'll do it for the good of the group.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah nods.

"If you're willing, then."

[hello_mgann]

Yeah I'll do it. You guys are going to be backing me up right?

[primordial]

Y-Yeah.

[He cringes at the voice in his head, because WOW he hates that sort of thing. Like...someone is wriggling into his mind without permission. So he only gives a trembling nod, glad that at least he isn't going to be the bait as originally planned.]

What's the Plan B? Like...what if you get kidnapped or killed or something? What do we do then?

[terminally_clever]

If she's kidnapped, at least we can follow the trail to wherever this deranged spark is hiding out.

[hello_mgann]

Okay, anything else I need to know before I go out there?

[M'gann is trying to hide it but she is clearly nervous.]

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"I can probably shadow you over the rooftops if you want backup."

[hello_mgann]

That would help. Fumi and Sam, could you guys stay hidden near me on the ground?

[M'gann takes a deep breath. She's as ready as she'll ever be.]

I'm going out now.

[OOC: I'm going to make a new thread for outside, just to keep things organized.]
