Start of #MC32 buffer: Sat Apr 22 02:13:50 2006* Now talking in #MC32
* Alys has joined #MC32
* Ten has joined #mc32
<Brett> [Alys heads upstairs! She's in the hallway 
  that leads to the foyer and the kitchen.
<Brett> ]
* Alys goes back into the foyer.
<Brett> [Alys is in the foyer! There's five exits: the 
  door she just came through; The front door on the 
  far wall; a door to her right; a door near the front 
  door, to her left; and the stairs going up.]
* Alys goes through the door on the right. "I pick 
  door number one! Let's see if I won anything!"
<Ten> (Hey Alys, you wearing your handydandy 
  headset-thing?)
<Brett> [Alys finds herself in a short T-hallway, with 
  a closet at the end.]
<Alys> Yes, hi! I'm doll-searching!
* Alys checks the closet. "Although, you'd think she'd 
  keep dolls on display, or something."
<Ten> (That wasn't actualy IC ^^;)
<Alys> (Oh, oops. Erm, scratch that, then. -_-;)
* Togo has joined #MC32
<Togo> ( What do I !see? =P )
<Ten> ~ Hey Alys! There are two other people here! You 
  need to be carefull!~
<Brett> [Alys checks the closet.  It's full of coats, 
  mostly, and an umbrella... about six different 
  brooms (she's a witch, after all)... But no dolls.]
<Ten> ~ Togo is looking for you, so come back and find 
  him first. Okay? ~
<Alys> I am having vaguely Narnia feel- okay, thanks 
  for letting me know!
<Brett> [Shortly, Togo shows up, too.]
* Alys nods. "Sure." She turns around. "Oh, hey Togo! 
  Let's check more rooms, there's nothing in the 
  closet."
<Brett> ( You're in a T-hallway, coming from the foyer 
  )
* Togo puts a finger to his lips, and motions for Alys 
  to come over to him.
* Alys moves closer and whispers, "Are we gonna look 
  for the people or look for doll eyes?"
* Togo whispers. "Some idiot had the lady summon his 
  dead girlfriend's spirit for him, only the 
  girlfriend took over her body. And they're 
  apparently still living here. So we need to find 
  them and get the girl her body back."
<Alys> Do you think my wards will work on the 
  girlfriend since the body doesn't belong to her? 
  Ooh, and should I try not to hurt hurt body too 
  much? I mean, she's hopefully gonna help us if we 
  can get it back, right?
<Togo> *softly* I have no idea, and I'd rather not 
  risk it. Let's try'n do this with a minimum of 
  violence... can you shoot a gun, if I give you one 
  with stun bullets?
* Alys winces. "Yeah, I've used one before, when I was 
  trying to figure out what kind of weaponry I liked 
  when I was, like, -eight-. I can try."
* Togo pulls out his 1873 Colt Peacemaker revolver, 
  and hands it to Alys. "I'd prefer not to have to use 
  it, but the threat could come in handy. Now let's 
  start looking."
* Alys takes it, looks at it, and sighs before moving 
  past him and back into the foyer. Barring problems, 
  she enters the door on the left.
<Ten> ~ She wants you to not hurt her body! ~
* Alys whispers, "Gotcha, I'll do my best!"
<Brett> [That door's the one you came through, that 
  goes to the kitchen and basement.
<Brett> ]
<Alys> (Er. The one that was on her left when she went 
  back into the foyer, I meant. Sorry.)
<Alys> (Originally. Er. Damn my lack of being able to 
  see things in my head. *scrolls up and starts 
  drawing it*)
<Brett> ( Ahh. )
* Togo pulls out his MI-5 ID. Maybe it'll work on 
  civies.
<Brett> [Alys finds the parlor! There's a fireplace, a 
  fairly big TV, a bookshelf, a couch, a chair and a 
  coffee table.  Looks nice and homely.  Probably 
  because it's someone's home.  There's several dolls 
  about, too, sitting on the sofa or on top of the TV 
  or shelves.]
* Alys eyes the eyes of the dolls. "D'you have any 
  scissors?"
* Togo stands at the door, making sure nobody sneaks 
  down the stairs behind them. Offhandedly, he hands 
  Alys a pair of scissors. "Anyone in there?"
<Brett> [There's another door here, by the way.  Looks 
  like it leads to the kitchen.]
* Alys takes them. "Don't see anyone. There's another 
  doorway here, if you wanna check the next room." She 
  goes over to one of the dolls and starts cutting off 
  it's eyes, as neatly as possible.
<Alys> (*its)
<Brett> ( Gimme a hearing roll. )
<Alys> 2d8
<Alys> (...)
<Alys> (Made.)
<Togo> ( Made by 6 )
<Brett> [There's a high pitched keening noise as Alys 
  removes the eyes.  It almost sounds like a scream.]
<Togo> ... not that doll.
* Alys jumps back and pales. "Did I do that? Oh my 
  god, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
<Togo> Forget the eyes for now. Let's find the guy and 
  his girlfriend in Kelsie's body.
* Alys nods and pockets the scissors, still looking 
  sort of ill. "Right. Okay. I'll head into the 
  kitchen, then." She does so.
<Togo> Check that door, I'll stay here by the doorway 
  and make sure nobody sneaks downstairs.
* Togo keeps an !eye on the hallway, glancing back in 
  Alys direction every few seconds to make sure 
  everything's okay.
<Ten> ~ She says any of the eyes would do as long as 
  they are the right size. The ones in the parlor will 
  do! ~
<Brett> [You head into the kitchen! it's a nice enough 
  kitchen.  There's a fridge, microwave, a round table 
  that could seat four, a pantry, a stove... y'know, 
  that sort of thing.  There's also a door here, that 
  looks like it leads outside.  It's locked with a 
  chain lock.]
<Togo> See anything?
<Brett> [There doesn't appear to be anything special 
  in there.]
<Alys> A fridge. Are you hungry?
<Togo> ... not now, Alys.
<Togo> ( There's another door/room on the opposite end 
  of the floor, right? )
* Alys heads back into the foyer. "Pssh. There's 
  always time for food. One door left, then upstairs." 
  She walks through the door that's near the front 
  door.
<Brett> ( That was the parlor. )
<Ten> ~ She says none of the dolls should have souls 
  in them. Did you imagine it? ~
<Brett> ( There's the T-hallway, which has two doors. 
  Otherwise, you've been everywhere. )
* Togo heads for the T-hallway with the two doors!
<Alys> Oops, been there. Okay, upstairs it is.
<Alys> (...Argh. Scratch that. I'm really sorry.)
<Togo> ( s'no biggie. RETCON! )
* Alys follows Togo. "Been in there. I need to get a 
  sense of direction, seriously. How about you lead 
  from now on?"
<Brett> [The hallway branches into a T, with two doors 
  on either end.]
<Togo> ( Door on left and right, I assume? )
<Brett> ( Opposite ends. )
* Togo heads for the door on the left, and tries to 
  open it.
<Brett> [It opens into a bedroom! There's a bed (woo!) 
  a desk, a dresser, another closet, and a lamp or 
  two.]
<Brett> [There's a Kirby plushie on the bed, but no 
  dolls.]
<Togo> Watch the other door, Alys. *heads in to look 
  around and check the closet*
* Alys 's eyes widen before she turns around to keep 
  watch. "Ashley, are you okay? Ten, is he still 
  there?"
<Brett> [Togo finds clothes in the closet.  Anything 
  from dresses to goth outfits to more normal-ish 
  clothes.  And there's a black robe and a black hat 
  in there, too.]
<Brett> ( Gimme a hearing check, Togo! )
<Ten> ~ Ashley is fine. I think he is making some sort 
  of strange joke though. ~
<Togo> 2d8-6
<Togo> ( oops )
<Togo> ( Made by 5 )
<Alys> Okay. 'Cause there's a Kirby plushie in here 
  and I was really worried!
<Brett> [Togo hears something suddenly dive towards 
  him! Gimme a body roll!]
<Togo> 2d8
<Togo> ( Dammit... bad Jesse! )
<Brett> ( :P Acrobatics work )
<Togo> ( Made by 2 )
<Brett> [Togo moves to the side as the horror leaps 
  past him and onto the bed! ... Oh wait, it's just a 
  black cat.  It meows.]
<Togo> ... Jesus. Gave me a goddamn heart attack. Bad 
  cat.
<Togo> ( I assume I find nothing? )
<Brett> [The cat meows at Togo.  But otherwise, he 
  finds nothing.]
* Alys looks to see what just happened and smiles. 
  "Oh, how cute! Here, kitty kitty. You're so pretty."
<Brett> [The cat purrs at Alys.]
<Togo> ... pet cat later. Find body-stealer now.
* Togo heads out the door and towards the other one 
  across the way, and tries to open that one.
* Alys waves goodbye at the kitty, then follows Togo 
  out. 
<Brett> [It opens into a bathroom.  Inside is a 
  dangerous horror that can only be described as.....!]
<Brett> [MILDEW!!!!]
<Brett> [But otherwise, nothing special there.]
<Togo> ( And that's all the rooms? )
<Alys> They might not even be home, you know.
<Brett> ( All the rooms on this floor. )
<Togo> ( More upstairs? )
<Brett> ( Yep )
<Togo> *sniffs* She needs to clean her bathroom more 
  often. s'go upstairs. *heads upstairs*
<Brett> [You head upstairs!  There's a single door on 
  the landing.]
* Togo opens the door! Or tries to, at least.
<Brett> [He fails! It must be locked.]
* Togo curses. Is there a pickable lock?
<Brett> [There is!]
* Togo pulls out his lockpicks and gets to work. 
  "Wouldn't be nice to kick down the nice lady's 
  door..."
<Togo> 2d8-3
<Togo> ( ARGH! )
<Togo> ( I suck! =P )
<Alys> Oh, please. We're saving her, the least we can 
  do is cause property damage. Or, um, something.
<Brett> [Shortly into attempting to pick the lock, 
  Togo discovers it's not locked at all! But it still 
  doesn't open for some reason.  Oh well, probably a 
  good thing since he failed to pick it anyhow]
* Togo taps his earpiece. ~ Ask her if there's some 
  sorta magic lock or something on her door.~
<Togo> ~On the upstairs door.~
<Ten> ~ She says it's on her magic chamber so things 
  can't get in! ~
<Togo> ~Shit. Any way to get in? Because we checked 
  every other room.~
<Togo> ( Alys can hear all this in her earpiece, BTW )
<Alys> ~Would a spirit ward break it? It seems to hate 
  everything else made of magic.~
<Ten> ~ She has a spell to open it, but she needs a 
  pair of eyes and the purple book with the upside 
  down pentagram on in from the parlor. ~
* Togo looks back at Alys. "Grab the book and a few of 
  the dolls and bring them downstairs to get things 
  set up. I'll stay here'n watch the door; come back 
  up when it's done."
<Alys> Gotcha!
* Alys walks downstairs and into the room with the 
  dolls. She looks at them, then grabs a few without 
  actually cutting anything off and heads into the 
  parlor.
<Brett> ( The dolls are in the parlor ^^; )
<Brett> ( Think you mean the basement )
<Alys> (Oh, I'm so going to bed as soon as this is 
  over. *facepalms*)
* Alys grabs the book as well before going back down 
  into the basement.
* Togo keeps watch on the door, staying a few steps 
  back just in case someone decides to burst through.
<Brett> [Meanwhile, Togo hangs out.  Nothing exciting 
  happens, though.  Doh.]
<Togo> ( Boring is good. Boring doesn't burn out your 
  eyes. =P )
<Brett> [There's a shattering sound from the door.]
<Alys> ~Togo, can you open it now?~
<Togo> ~Get up here and back me up.~
<Alys> ~Be there in a sec.~
<Brett> [Suddenly, the door swings open! Togo, def 
  roll!]
<Brett> ( Melee )
<Togo> ( Made by 2 )
<Brett> [Togo moves aside as a man comes out, swinging 
  a baseball bat.  He's wearing a shirt and jeans, and 
  glasses.  He's a kind of thin man with brown hair.]
<Brett> [Togo, you're action!]
<Brett> ( your action, too )
* Togo pulls out his his shotgun, and points it at the 
  man while backing off a few steps. "MI-5, you idiot! 
  Unless you want to spend the next 50 years in jail, 
  drop that bat right now!" *hold action*
<Brett> [He hesitates in the face of the gun, but he 
  keeps a tight grip on his bat. (and to main chan!)]
