Shiokawa, Japan, XX May 1984

Today, a thick fog has enveloped the whole town since early morning.

Four people have gathered at the apartment of Ryuuji Kurenai, his parents not home.
One certain story has drew these four to gather and try to pierce the enigma behind it.

That morbid mystery being...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
HORRIBLE HISTORY OF A HOUSEHOLD HELL
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many old mansions around this town, OOO manor is one of them.
Supposedly haunted by the family of four, who disappeared without a trace one summer.
But is it the only tragic event that took place there?

The four are sitting around a low table, a few newspaper clippings of Shiokawa Daily, spread about. Nothing about the cursed mansion's actual location...
Perhaps a visit to the newspaper's archives located in Downtown might shed some light to where it is located, or better yet, get its actual address?

"... I hope it's not too cramped here for you all." - Ryuuji seems in thought. - "Usually I don't like how it's awfully quiet here, when parents are on business trips. But now, at least we don't need to worry about them prying into too much."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Tatsuya sighed and dropped the bundle of clippings he was holding back onto the table.

"Nothing more than a handful of articles and all of them too tactful to actually mention where the place is. Since when do journalists actually worry about people going to these old houses?"

He looked over at Ryuuji.

"Nah, it's fine. This is as good a base of operations as any, though it could use a few snacks if we're going to spend much longer here looking through all this."

[SirAston]

"People in general really care about their privacy and most publication houses respect that... Although I've noticed that here in Shiokawa, that respect for privacy sometimes goes the extra mile. Key word being sometimes..."

Joji felt a bit awkward sitting around students that are about two-thirds of his age, and he can imagine the kids aren't too thrilled about that too. It's only because he's a good friend of the Kurenai household that he was here in the first place, his official duty checking on Ryuuji occasionally to make sure he's alright. But when he saw him musing over some newspaper clippings, he couldn't help but get involved. It's something he tried to get a lead on himself. Guess being a student has its perks, given how much spare time they tend to have.
Plus, having some allies in this cause may help him get the photos he needs to strike gold.

"Remind me to get you some Pocky later, Sekizawa-san."

Feels weird to be formal to a student, but they're both guests here, so what can he do about it?

[VermilionSkies]

"Ah, I was hoping it'd be easy this time..." Hanaka sighs, skimming through the book in her hands.

"Well... I guess we could always try and find the journalist who wrote the story?" She shrugs, turning to Ryuuji.

"Don't worry about it! Thank you greatly for hosting us all here."

[adzi]

"... I'll take care of snacks next time."

"Not gonna lie, normally I wouldn't be interested in such, uhm, mystery hunting. It's just so now, this whole situation just... stinks so much. Nothing really well-thought on my part, I just felt like I should get interested."

"Unless anyone has something better in mind, we could go check out that archive."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"OK. While you guys do that, I'm going to go look around elsewhere. You have my line if you need to contact me."

Tatsuya equips his Wooden Bat and Investigates Downtown.

[adzi]

"How about visiting the good ol' Doggie? We might buy something useful."

If no one objects, Ryuuji will visit the Corner Store.

[VermilionSkies]

"I'll go see what their records have on this story... after I finish this up."

Read my Library Book and Investigate Downtown to visit the newspaper archives.

[SirAston]

"Having an adult working in that field might help you regarding the newspaper. Simply let me do the talking. And, err, don't get too much into trouble, alright?"

Equips Camera and investigate Downtown

Tatsuya equips Wooden Bat as a Weapon.
Hanaka reads Library Book: +10 Experience.
Joji equips Camera in Slot A.

Tatsuya&Joji&Hanaka:

Combat Encounter: OBSESSED MAN!

As the trio takes a shortcut through an alley, they find a man crouched by the hole in the wall. He turns to look at the intruders and stands up.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" He yells suddenly. "YOU WON'T DESTROY THE EXPERIMENT! IT'S MY LIFE'S WORK!!"

Combat Turn 1 begins! Joji instinctively snaps the photo of Obsessed Man, blinding him! (-10 Power)

[SeriousConcentrate]

"So many lunatics around Shiokawa these days... No chance he'll listen to reason! I'm gonna get him out of our way!"

With zero hesitation, the star pitcher raised his bat, stepped forward, and started swinging for the fences to protect his allies.

Tatsuya does 1 boost + attack (7/20), 1 boost + attack (14/20), and one regular attack (20/20)!

[adzi]

Ryuuji buys A KNIFE.

[SirAston]

After shooting the picture and giving it a quick look, he looks at Tatsuya going straight for the jugular.
"I sure hope you're not a delinquent... But I agree, and we can't wait for the police to arrive."
Joji grabs the nearest random object he could see from the corner of his eyes and attempts to make the man trip.

Look for Improvised Weapon (12), Boost (13), Boost (14), Kick (20)

[VermilionSkies]

"Seriously, now of all times?!?"
Hanaka stomps forwards angrily.
"What is with you people????"

Assess The Situation (17/20), Boost x 2 (15/20), Kick(9/20), Boost x 2 (7/20), Kick (1/20)
