Cherry nodded at the man who saved her twice since he seemed either in shock or did not know what to say. She gripped the handle to the door and pushed it open. Once the door was open finally, Cherry slipped into the dark corridor. Had there been lights on before? She did not know. She was so shaken up at the events in the film splicing room.
Hugging herself, she made her way toward two humanoid forms, one sitting down, one standing. Hoping they were part of the 'Team of the Damned' as she was now referring to the lot of them, Cherry tried to close the gap quickly as she could in case something was following her in this dark area. Looking over her left shoulder she saw nothing and heard nothing but maybe the murmur of one of the forms in the atrium type area.
Cherry prayed literally that nothing would jump out and grab her..that creature burned into her mind forever. Shivers ran down her spine and she felt suddenly freezing cold, goosebumps forming in her soft skin.
"So..you believe me now?" A familiar voice asked almost smugly. The voice sounded exactly like her own, but it was not hers. She knew it was her twin sister's voice.
"No, no this all has to be fake.. Surely.. No, you're wrong! These types of things DON'T happen.. You're just CRAZY!" Cherry spat out at the voice that taunted her and, well, haunted her now..that familiar voice, her own but not her own. Of course no one else could hear that voice but Cherry did not care about the rationale even to make that distinction just yet.
Finally at the dimly lit atrium, she looked at the two people, the Japanese woman and the nervous lonely guy. "I'm so glad to see you two!"

With her head in her hands and mind elsewhere, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder a shock to the system bolt up right half shouting "FUCK" before realising it was Ryan.
"Something happened in the reel storage room, what I do not know one minute I was searching for anything then I became dizzy and passed out, I only came to be when that gunshot went off......" mumbling her last few words she heard another voice
"I'm so glad to see you two!" It was the lady drinking from earlier, Hitomi looked up and asked her
"Did you hear that gunshot to? Did you feel anything in that room" She was going to ask her name but obviously distracted still att he corner of her eye she saw that man again holding something round seemingly throwing it about.
Standing up and looking around dazed she felt faint, she could help but say "Sorry" as she lent on the girl to stop herself from falling, such a sweet smell almost calming in nature.
Seeing that man again she could not help but mutter "lion", before pointing randomly to a movie splicing room and declaring she would search. It was like her veins where pinned down by her stuttering mind it felt like her blood was spilling out but it was still pumping in time she didn't even realise she had walked over to the splicing room before crashing through the door not realising her own strength

"Something happened in the reel storage room, what I do not know one minute I was searching for anything then I became dizzy and passed out, I only came to be when that gunshot went off......"
Listening to her, Ryan can tell that Hitomi is obviously very tired and rattled from what had happened. Hell, even he was feeling exhausted all of a sudden, though he had no real explanation why, it's came about unnaturally. He wants to encourage her that everything would be okay, but he hesitated, not wanting to seem weirder than he already has.
He doesn't get to say anything, however, as finally someone comes out of the splicing room, the young attractive lady who assumed was 'Cherry'. "I'm so glad to see you two!"
Ryan noticed a bit of blood from her leg along with a scratch along her jeans. Hitomi beats Ryan to punch, asking the girl about what had happened with the gunshots and bluntly inquiring if 'Cherry' had experienced anything similar to herself. Hitomi tries to stand, but falters, catching hold to the young lady clumsily, feebly apologizing as she did so.
Ryan watches as Hitomi's gaze turns to someone behind him, he turns to see the erratic, nervous looking fella in their little troupe. While staring him down, she mumbles a part the word "lion", harkening back to the series of words she was repeating earlier. The lion is key.
Did she mean that guy was the key to this place some how? Or was he only the lion because she believed the object the guy held in his hand was the 'key'? So much was going on that Ryan couldn't really process it all in this brief moment, even made worse by Hitomi's sudden brush up from the woman beside her, and intention to head towards one of the splicing rooms down the hall. She makes it to the door, and shockingly to Ryan, she manages to break in. I guess this places is falling apart after all these years, he thinks to himself.
Turning to the woman, Ryan says to her, " 'Cherry' is it? I don't really know I just say the name on the note and figured that you... Look, I can tell that by your wound, something bad is starting to happen around here. Should have known when the knives were brought into play... But the point is, it's probably not safe to be on your own, but Hitomi in her state shouldn't be alone either. I'm going to go after her. Meanwhile," Ryan pulls the roll of bandages from his pocket and hands it to 'Cherry'. "This might help if you need it.""
He then turns to follow Hitomi into Splicing Room A to assist her in searching.
Ryan GIVES the Bandages to Cherry. And SEARCHES Splicing Room A with Hitomi.

"Did you hear that gunshot too? Did you feel anything in that room?" The Japanese woman asked in what seemed a frenzy of words.
Cherry cleared her throat quickly and replied, looking to both the woman and the guy, "Y-Yes I heard the gunshot--actually it was--was that other guy, the one with the awesome goatee..he--he used it to save my life.. Some--some monsterish boney creature came at us and--and it had no arms..j-just bone shards at the shoulders.." She trailed off, looking down at her slightly injured leg, the blood already having coagulated, leaving a dark red stain on both her skin and blue jeans. Unbeknownst to her until that moment, she was still hugging herself, gripping the butcher knife tightly, her knuckles white. The woman and man seemed at a loss for words.
Cherry felt the woman lean against her after trying to stand from the old wooden and wrought iron rickety bench, and felt bad for her even as the woman muttered, "Sorry," kind of weakly. She reached out to her but before she could help steady the woman, she was pointing back the way Cherry had just come, the film splicing rooms. Cherry felt sick to her stomach just looking back that way, but the only thing she could do was nod and look back at her, fear apparent in her dark eyes made darker by the low lighting, their moisture glinting, though the moisture was not from tears. The woman then made it known she would search that first splicing room.
"Wait--there's more of them!" Cherry called after the woman who was already moving off, seemingly not hearing her warning.
"'Cherry' is it? I don't really know I just say the name on the note and figured that you... Look, I can tell that by your wound, something bad is starting to happen around here. Should have known when the knives were brought into play... But the point is, it's probably not safe to be on your own, but Hitomi in her state shouldn't be alone either. I'm going to go after her. Meanwhile," The man pulled a roll of bandages from his pocket and handed it to her. "This might help if you need it."
Cherry nodded to the man to let him know that her name was indeed 'Cherry'..or at least her nickname, she then looked at the roll of bandages now in her left hand to which she closed around them, the softness of the gauze almost a comfort to her. "T-thanks. Be c-careful! T-there's more of them!" She stammered, looking very grateful to the man as he trailed after the other woman, and sat down upon the worn rough surface of the bench, the varnish coming off in certain places, the smoothness of the wood long gone.
Putting the butcher knife down next to her as well as her purse, she just stared at the bandages for a bit before rolling her pant leg up revealing a smooth olive complected leg with some little scars here and there, and dried crimson droplets near the wound area. Carefully, she dug in her purse, pulling the flask out and poured the liquid within (alcohol) over the wound. Mind you, she did not use much as she fancied another drink later. True, she had a huge bottle of Midori in her purse as well a plethora of little tiny sample bottles of various types of booze but this was some good stuff..way over 100 proof. The liquid stung her leg and she winced.
"So what now? Going to plod along like nothing happened back there?" Her 'sister's' voice asked in the same smug tone as before.
Cherry stared into the darkness. The light overhead buzzed loudly and then started blinking on and off. Her eyes closed and she felt herself shaking again, the goosebumps re-formed. She's not here, it's all in my head and it's just chilly in here..that's all.. Her rational side started to take over, but the irrational side would be there to win the day soon.
ACTION: Cherry accepts the Bandages from Ryan. ACTION: Cherry RESTS this turn.

Riley seemed to snap out of his .. shock, or whatever the hell it was when the woman bent over to retrieve her knife, long enough to admire the view. Of course, he should have been thinking about how lucky they were to be alive, but a small part of him still wanted to believe (or did believe, he still wasn't sure) that this whole thing was as they had been told it was. A themed event, a staged horror show.
Except the woman had been hurt.
The woman had been hurt … Ah fuck, she'd left already. What the hell had gotten into him just now. He hadn't even asked her if she was okay. He'd meant to, but that goddamn feedback and irritating fucking voice had come over the shoddiest intercom or PA system he'd ever heard and he'd been distracted. He wondered for a moment whether he shouldn't just leave. Fuck this place, fuck this 'tour'.
He walked over to the creature, what was left of it and nudged it with his boot. Morbid curiosity made him do it. He had to admit, as he bent over and peered at the thing, that it looked authentic enough. As shoddy as the rest of this damn thing had been put together and carried out so far, maybe he should see it through. If nothing else, it'd be something to tell when he got back to work next week. Not the same old shit, different day that he usually reported to his colleagues on being asked what was new.
He'd start now. Following that woman and seeing if she was okay. It was the least he could do after standing there like a stunned dumbass until she'd walked, or limped away.
Turned out that somebody else had beat him to it. The small, odd group had dispersed mostly but she was just sitting there nursing the injury, and probably her nerves, too. Hell, he still was, so she had to be.
“Hey, lady?” He stood in front of her, folding his arms across his chest, and looking down at her with a little concern. “Sorry about back there. You're uh, okay, I take it?” He nods down at her leg, and then looks down at his feet, pinching the bridge of his nose with thumb and forefinger. He could feel a headache coming on. Not a good time for one of those. “Well, uh ...”he continued, looking back over his shoulder to see where the others had gone, “I think it's probably a good idea if we keep on looking around this place. I dunno about you, but I'd like to get the fuck out of here before .. well, before someone else gets hurt, y'know? So, uh, listen. I'm gonna go and do that, but here, I found this back there in the movie room. You hold onto it, just in case ...”
ACTION: Riley gives Cherry the small butterfly knife he has found in the Splicing Room. (This weapon has 1 durability point)
SEARCH: Riley searches Storage (floor carpets) (provided somebody joins me, because pairs right? Luscious leather wearing guy?)
(OOC note: I got really behind this turn. Real life is really inconvenient! Trying to do le catch up)

Naz was seriously considering the possibility that he had lost his mind and was actually back in Vegas, locked down and sedated in a psych ward when the smoke mooching guy asked him to help force open some double doors, as the hinges seemed to be rusted shut
Together they were able to pry the doors open while this girl who was even hotter than Jasmine watched and warned them to be careful because of what just happened
"The lady has a point" said mooch "We should probably do this together, in the interest of safety..."
"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this..." Naz replied, trying to swallow. But he didn't want to look like a wus in front of the hot chick so he followed the mooch into the storage area
Naz & Riley search the Storage Area

Cherry looked up and saw a form approaching her. Squinting because of the low lighting she made it out to be the goatee guy.
“Hey, lady?” Goatee guy stood in front of her, folding his arms across his chest, and looking down at her with what seemed like a little concern. “Sorry about back there. You're uh, okay, I take it?” He nodded down at her leg and then looked down at his feet, pinching the bridge of his nose with thumb and forefinger. Cherry nodded her head slightly to let him know she was alright despite the wound on her leg and continued to listen. “Well, uh ...” The man continued, looking back over his shoulder to see where the others had gone, “I think it's probably a good idea if we keep on looking around this place. I dunno about you, but I'd like to get the fuck out of here before .. well, before someone else gets hurt, y'know? So, uh, listen. I'm gonna go and do that, but here, I found this back there in the movie room. You hold onto it, just in case ...”
Goatee guy handed her something of use..something very valuable that would otherwise not be thought of twice in a normal situation. She accepted it and looked at it in her palm. It was a small butterfly knife.
"Thank you. I'll be here when y'all get back." She said quietly, a small smile lifting the sides of her mouth as she tucked it into her left front jeans pocket.
Goatee guy turned and made his way toward where the twitchy guy went who seemed awfully familiar..had she seen him in Vegas where she was from? Maybe not, but who knew anyway.
After the two broke their way into the room of their choice, Cherry turned into her side and pulled her legs up onto the bench, looking into the dark abyss of a corridor. Her mind paired tricks on her and she thought for a moment something was moving..but of course nothing was.
"And you said I was the crazy one.." Maria's voice echoed in the depths of darkness.
"No no no..you're just in my mind. You went missing months ago.." Cherry mumbled in a whisper to herself.
"Is that honestly what you believe?" The voice taunted her.
Cherry searched her mind for the possible answer but nothing was coming. The voice cackled then..a very unsettling sound that reminded her of a witch.
After pulling the flask from her right front jeans pocket, she swallowed the bitey fluid down, feeling a false warmth spread through her body. Exhausted now, Cherry closed her eyes and tried to catch some sleep before the others returned. Hopefully the voice in her head would not disturb her again.
ACTION: Cherry accepts the Small Butterfly Knife from Riley.

After breaking into the room some how Hitomi feels nothing like all energy had been drained from here she can do nothing but looking meekly though a few shelves and gingerly push a few things over, her feet where not steady and her mind kept wandering like the eye of the lion was upon her....

Turn Update Ambush! As Riley and Naz both enter the storage carpet area they immediately notice the floor carpets littered with bumps as if something was underneath them. Riley cautiously moves forward into the room while keeping the bigger bumps in his vision just in case because of his past experience with Cherry. As they move along the room that is inlaid with carpets from wall to wall the two men realize that the carpet below their feet gives way and sinks a little as they step on it. With no clear corner in sight to lift it and see what is underneath they continue searching the room when Naz notices one of the bigger bumps in the carpet suddenly disappear into the ground evening out. The other bumps start shrinking into the ground as well and before the men can react they hear scratching in the corner of the room. The carpet corner lifts and they see several odd creatures slither out one after the other. They seem to resemble a human but only the upper torso is present as they have no legs, instead they move with their long and bony hands some of which have seemingly sharp fingers with just sharpened bone where the fingernails should be. They drag their bodies across the carpet slowly moving towards Riley and Naz. As the two men look closer they notice that the creatures look sick, they are littered with wounds some of which have puss oozing out of them. Their faces are all covered in white and expressionless porcelain masks but they aren't as clean as were the one on the creature Riley faced with Cherry. These masks seem very scratched and Riley quickly realizes why as he sees sand crumbling from behind those masks. That's why their footing felt soft as they walked along the carpet, below it it's all sand! The creatures don't seem to be quick or strong but there's a lot of them and they move in packs of two. By quick count Riley and Naz count six of them. One other thing that jumps out at them are the wounds and puss that litter the creatures, could it be infectious? "Aww shit, "Riley groaned as the creatures slithered into sight two by two, "not again!" He shot a quick glance around the room for a quick way out, but there didn't appear to be a clear path through. Leather wearing guy was eyeing up the shelves and it wasn't a bad idea, if that's what he was thinking. Maybe they'd be able to knock them down and slow at least a couple of them while they took care of the rest between them. "You armed?" He asked. Naz just held up his knife that he pulled from the mannequin back in the main hall and that's when Riley recalled he had his knife too. He quickly checked his gun ... empty, of course. In that instance Riley realized something. The creatures seemed to be drawn to Naz rather than him, he quickly joined his partner in this ordeal and together they one of the heavy shelves over separating themselves from the creatures in one of the corners. They patiently and nervously wait for the sluggish creatures to approach them and as the first pair does Riley and Naz methodically plunge their knives straight into the creatures spines stopping them dead in their slow tracks before they have the chance to close in. Seemingly reacting to this turn of events the other four creatures stop advancing towards the two men and instead turn back towards the corner of the room where they came from and disappear underneath the carpet. "I-I think they fled," Riley exclaimed. Naz nodded in agreement but their short sense of victory was quickly extinguished as they noticed the carpet bearing lumps again. The creatures didn't run, they just decided to take the route of least resistance to get to their prey! With the heavy shelves serving as barricades the two men were backed into a small corner and now that corner had become a perfect funneling point with little room for strategies. The creatures burst out quickly one by one and jump at both Riley and Naz. The two men struggling to shake of the monstrosities loose their focus and before they can sink their knives into the throats of the small creatures that are on top of them to shake them off they have to deal with the second but thankfully last wave of two. Now having to deal with two slow monstrosities Riley and Naz divide and conquer. Separating the remaining two creatures they easily take them out and end the otherwise chaotic encounter but something feels wrong. The two men have scratch marks all over from when the creatures jumped on them but they aren't deep, and yet ... A sense of unease washes over them both. As Naz exits the storage area he leans against the nearest wall to catch his breath and feels a presence nearby. Riley had gone on ahead slightly so it wasn't him he felt. With a faint laughter around him Naz nervously looked around but saw no one and then in a swift motion he felt a sharp pain in his lower leg. As he looked down he noticed he was bleeding! Someone or something had slashed at his leg and that happened just now in a matter of seconds! He couldn't even see where the strike came from. Riley and Naz have been infected! This condition cannot be healed with any healing items ... an antidote is the only thing that will cure this condition and it can be found in one of the search areas. As the infection slowly spreads it must be cured in three turns or it will develop into a critical injury (which in turn will only be able to be cured with a special healing item of which the group only possesses one at the moment AND an antidote)! An infection acts the same way as a medium level of injury (without the ability to recover from it with rest) and getting into an ambush in this state will most likely mean further injury.Naz has been injured (minor injury) by the possessed! He not only needs to heal his minor injury (with resting or using a healing item) but also needs an antidote to cure the infection!Riley's infection is spreading! (three more turns before his condition turns critical) Naz's infection is spreading! (three more turns before his condition turns critical) The evil eye in Naz's possession has shattered! He is no longer cursed! Antidote: an antidote does not consume a turn. You can use an antidote on a player and still search the same turn. Riley's knife broke! Naz's knife broke!Cherry's wounds are healing! She will be back to full health after one more resting turn! Hitomi has been voted as the possessed! The group guessed correctly! There is a chest in the main lobby containing: 1x 9mm handgun, 2x 9mm bullets, 3x baseball bats (melee weapon with a durability of 2). Divide these items as you see fit. ************************************************************************* The speakers, once again, burst into life: Log update: well if nothing else our little inter-dimensional friend has provided us a means of manufacturing soldiers. It turns out the incorporeal being doesn't act like a traveler inside a host but rather a parasite. The longer it stays inside any particular host the more of his/her sanity is drained. When inquired about this interesting revelation it responded that this was their sustenance. These creatures (dear god, this means there are more than one ... how exciting!!!) travel worlds and feed on knowledge of different life forms! Granted, it says that its "people" do not suck everything out of their hosts, just enough to sustain themselves but we have effectively held the creature in our world for over three months now. Sure, we had to have it switch multiple hosts during that time but we have perfected our technique in keeping the creature here for further study.
But that's the beautiful thing about war, there is an abundance of test subjects for us to feed to our friend here. These cripples and soldiers are serving their country far more than they ever could with a stupid gun in some far away land. We are learning about concepts out of this world! Granted, the mindless husks, that's what we decided to call the emptied out hosts, are piling up. The overseers have built a containment facility much like our own to facilitate the empty husks though I personally see no reason for it, they hardly seem to be a threat. Only the ones with military background seem to still retain some form of primitive aggression. A small team has been assigned to weaponize the husks while the main team here continue to study our subject. As a little inside joke we put up those expressionless masks on our husks ... they are empty thus ... get it? hehe. *Ahem*
Testing and learning from our being continues despite its protests. It actually seems to care for the hosts it devours, how odd. Regardless, we have the means to keep the creature here even if it means we have to go through hosts to do it. Much more is to be learned!!!*************************************************************************** Since no one had consumed a red liquid this turn, the possession has moved to a random player!

Naz limped out of the Storage Room, favoring his throbbing leg that felt like it was on fire "Are you okay?" he asked Riley "Not even remotely" Riley replied "that wound burns, it must be infected..." "Same here" Naz admitted "We need some penicillin or at least hydrogen peroxide; gotta find a first aid kit" "We should split up" Riley decided "cover more ground ASAP"
It was a sound plan and on the way to the other janitor's closet, Naz found a gun and some bullets

Groaning as she exits the splicing room with a few more items found she sees the mysterious man again..
"wait she shouts!" running over to him, she had noticed the man was limping quite badly with a cut in his lower trouser leg "are you ok? you seem to have a flesh wound there let me help you?" without a thought Hitomi applies the badges she has on the man. Getting up she says to the man before departing "Strange place it's like we stepped through a wardrobe into another time...." she noticed a man with a goatee was also with him as she walked off again.
As she was walking to the main Lobby again she notices a big chest with baseball bats so she grabs one on before seeing the lady from earlier still resting, Hitomi walks over and asks "How are you feeling? My name is Hitomi, if you need help I will just be over there pointing to the storage room of seat parts.
Calling to Ryan "Hey have you seen that other lady? is she still in the main area smoking?" shrugging her shoulders in a what the hell kind of way.
Hitomi badges up the leather panted nervous man
With that she decides to take a rest to gather her thoughts

"Hey have you seen that other lady? is she still in the main area smoking?" Hitomi says this while hunching her shoulders at Ryan, as if to punctuate that, indeed, reality had left the building.
Putting his newly found meat cleaver in his blazer coat pocket, he walks over to her and kneels down to pick up a baseball bat from the chest as well. "I haven't seen her in a while to be honest. We should keep an eye out for her while we search. Be careful Hitomi."
Ryan liked to think that Hitomi had nodded at his last statement as she turned to leave, heading towards the door labeled, "Seats Storage", but he wasn't entirely sure if he imagined it. He found it weird that he would get so attached after all these years to little Japanese girl ten years his senior. She didn't need any heroic father figure to follow her around constantly, and honestly, he certainly didn't need to suddenly start caring about other people again, especially here. First off, he didn't deserve it, not after what he had done. And second, if the situation was any indication, they were all most likely going to die here, part of sick game being perpetrated on them, so why put himself through knowing these people and watch them get picked off one by one?
However, despite this, looking out at the several wounded sitting about the corridor, he did find himself caring and feeling a terrible guilt rising in him that was not unfamiliar to him. Suddenly feeling the need to avert his eyes from them, quickly steps into the room with the door labeled "Projector Parts Storage", slamming the door loudly as he leans hard against the door. Nervously, he begins fiddling with the thin, worn, blue twine bracelet on his wrist, trying to get himself centered, breathing heavily as he does so. After about a minute or so, he finally gets himself together and begins looking around the storeroom.
Ryan picks up a baseball bat.

Cherry heard some movement that snapped her out of her perceived dreamless sleep. Bolting up, she saw two figures closing in, the gait of one awkward at best. She grabbed the butcher knife tightly in her right hand and squinted her slanted eyes, trying to make out the figure before she struck. It was the Twitchy Man and the Goatee Guy. Relieved, she placed the butcher knife back down on the bench.
She heard them conversing, extrapolating their next plan of action.
"Are you okay?" The Twitchy Man asked Goatee Guy.
"Not even remotely." Goatee Guy replied. "That wound burns, it must be infected..."
Cherry covered her mouth with her left hand, wondering what on Earth transpired during their search. Infection?! Oh this won't bode well..
"Same here." Twitchy Man admitted. "We need some penicillin or at least hydrogen peroxide; gotta find a first aid kit."
"We should split up." Goatee Guy seemed to decide for the both of them and continued, "..cover more ground ASAP."
They seemed not to notice her for the time being as the Twitchy Man made his way off down the corridor to do another search.
"Yeah, good luck with that.." Cherry muttered under her breath.
The Japanese woman suddenly showed up and took off after the lionesque Twitchy Man. "Wait!" She shouted, running to him at top speed. "Are you okay? You seem to have a flesh wound there. Let me help you?" Without waiting for an answer, she started applying her bandages to his soon to be infected wound--maybe it was already infected. Cherry surmised it would be infected soon anyway if it was not already, given the sub par cleanliness of the area. The woman then disappeared through the double doors to the Main Lobby after she finished bandaging the Twitchy Man and he disappeared in one of the rooms. After a moment she re-emerged with a baseball bat in hand and made her way to the bench.
"How are you feeling? My name is Hitomi, if you need help I will just be over there." She pointed to one of the many rooms.
Cherry nodded. "Nice to meet you, Hitomi. I'm Mary..but people mostly call me Cherry." A little smirk emerged on her face as the woman sat down near to her, seeming lost in her thoughts. It was nice that SOMEONE decided to introduce themselves and have some manners.
"Hey have you seen that other lady? Is she still in the main area smoking?" Hitomi yelled out at the Nervous Dude who was making his way into the atrium. He too had a baseball bat. Her shoulder gestures seemed to say 'What the hell'.
"I haven't seen her in a while to be honest. We should keep an eye out for her while we search. Be careful Hitomi." Nervous Dude seemed to not notice Cherry, and to be honest, she could care less. He never seemed to let anyone answer him back and cut people off constantly by leaving. How rude. She thought, shaking her head. Nervous Dude disappeared before Hitomi could answer into another room off the corridor she came from earlier. A slam could be heard from the door he passed through, echoing through the empty corridors. That made Cherry jump a bit.
"What a jerk.." She muttered once more under her breath, shaking her head. It was most likely what she just uttered was inaudible to anyone else.
Pushing herself up, she grabbed her butcher knife and purse, throwing the latter on her back before making her way quietly through the double doors to the Main Lobby. Sure enough there was a chest that was not there before. Creeping over cautiously, she threw the lid open, gazing inside. There was a single baseball bat laying there. Stooping down, she reached in and gripped the hilt of the bat. Letting the lid go, she crept her way back to the double doors and made way back to the bench, sitting down now, bat laying on the bench with the butcher knife and her purse.
"One can never be unprepared in a place like this.." Cherry murmured, looking to Hitomi.
The P.A. system came to life again.
"Log update: well if nothing else our little inter-dimensional friend has provided us a means of manufacturing soldiers. It turns out the incorporeal being doesn't act like a traveler inside a host but rather a parasite. The longer it stays inside any particular host the more of his/her sanity is drained. When inquired about this interesting revelation it responded that this was their sustenance. These creatures (dear god, this means there are more than one ... how exciting!!!) travel worlds and feed on knowledge of different life forms! Granted, it says that its "people" do not suck everything out of their hosts, just enough to sustain themselves but we have effectively held the creature in our world for over three months now. Sure, we had to have it switch multiple hosts during that time but we have perfected our technique in keeping the creature here for further study.
But that's the beautiful thing about war, there is an abundance of test subjects for us to feed to our friend here. These cripples and soldiers are serving their country far more than they ever could with a stupid gun in some far away land. We are learning about concepts out of this world! Granted, the mindless husks, that's what we decided to call the emptied out hosts, are piling up. The overseers have built a containment facility much like our own to facilitate the empty husks though I personally see no reason for it, they hardly seem to be a threat. Only the ones with military background seem to still retain some form of primitive aggression. A small team has been assigned to weaponize the husks while the main team here continue to study our subject. As a little inside joke we put up those expressionless masks on our husks ... they are empty thus ... get it? hehe. *Ahem*
Testing and learning from our being continues despite its protests. It actually seems to care for the hosts it devours, how odd. Regardless, we have the means to keep the creature here even if it means we have to go through hosts to do it. Much more is to be learned!!!"
The comm ended and Cherry narrowed her eyes out of hate from the words that spewed from the P.A. system's speakers. Pulling a small wallet from the side pocket of her purse, she opened it, pulling out her small smartphone and unlocked the screen, selecting the gallery app with a poke here and there on the screen. The picture she selected on the screen made her eyes glisten for a moment, but no tears fell.
ACTION: Cherry retrieves a baseball bat from the chest in the Main Lobby. ACTION: Cherry rests this turn.

Standing there hand on the back of her head wondering still what was going on? She heard a murmur
"One can never be unprepared in a place like this.."
Looking back at Cherry, she could only nod in acknowledgement it was some relief to Hitomi that she was armed for this area but how long would these mortal weapons last? It was then the speakers crackled into life again mentioning things about experiments a different dimension the war? It just bought back painful memories as her great grandfather had perished when the Yamato sank along with those many thousands of souls.....
With a tear in her eye and unsteady feet still recovering from whatever happened before in that room..... she took a seat near Cherry head back letting out a sad sigh............ Looking over
"So what brought you to this otherworld?"

A new player has entered the game! Name: Test Subject #343 (birth name unknown but it refers to itself as "Dave") Sex: Male Age: Unknown, in appearance believed to be in mid-thirties Occupation: Unknown, believed to be a street magician Physical appearance: A seemingly average Caucasian male, 6'2 tall (~ 1.90m) in height, average build, dark short hair, chin goatee with the rest of the face at a week's worth of non-shaving Clothing: Usually manifests itself wearing a black t-shirt with skulls and green camouflage cargo pants. Personality: Usually friendly and helpful but sometimes manifests itself as a malevolent personality with intention to harm others indirectly. Biggest vice: Varies uncontrollably with each manifestation. Usually lying. Current inventory of character: 1 x baseball bat (2 durability points), x1 Shotgun, x2 Shotgun shells This is an NPC character that can be interacted with etc. This character CANNOT become possessed (for voting purposes). You CAN ask this character to search with you ... he will NOT gain any item you might find if you searched alone (he will gain items on his own though). He might give characters items of his or heal players if he has the needed healing item. Think of him as a backup character to help you out (or not). He might break open some locked doors to save you one durability of doing it yourself (he will not search that room on his own unless asked to do so). He might help you out during an ambush if he searched with a cursed player for example (or he might do the opposite and get you into more trouble). He might point you to a certain room claiming that it has valuable items in it (that may or may not be true). Stuff like that. Ultimately it is up to you to believe his claims or not.*********************************************************************************************** Rubbing his forehead he slowly comes to and realizes immediately where he landed this time around. "Oh, here, huh?," he says quietly to himself as he leans against a bloodied mannequin with six piercing holes in its chest. The knives have all been removed and that meant that the current group was smarter than the last. He lazily got up on his feet and looked around: the east wing door was still clearly shut. He took out a deck of plain cards from his pocket and proceeded to quickly shuffle them between his fingers, letting them flow through the air as they wildly but also precisely landed from one hand to the other. After a few minutes of playing he put the deck back in his pocket and proceeded to the west wing where he heard some voices. Trying to be as casual as he could this time around he simply let out a small "hello?" as he moved forward.
