[Deon]

Cool. The flower lady gave us our 750 rupees back.

Fixed. I've uploaded a wrong picture.

Try to remember. Try your hardest!

What to remember? Your memory is in a normal condition now. You just don't know why is Anna angry at you, but you're pretty sure you have no memory losses anymore.

[Diablous]

No idea why she's angry? Let's try to figure out how we'll apoligize. Don't want to screw up and piss her off more.

[Deon]

You decide not to waste your time and finally visit Anna. It's enough of stress today, you feel that you have to talk to someone to talk everything out. So you cross the street.

You think you've heard a moaning behind your back. Or maybe it was a wind. You don't look around and continue further, through a passage in a house which leads to anna's yard.

When you approach Anna's porch you see a police car near it. An officer stands near the door, and he looks determined not to let anyone inside. A single lit lamplight illuminates the area.

No idea at all. You should try your best, heh.

[Diablous]

Ask the cop what's going on.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Ask the cop what's going on.

This.

Also ask him if he knows about the accident that just happened.

[Deon]

"Hey, guy. Don't enter this door. There's an official investigation going on, and experts will arrive soon. You cannot go further". - Says the officer when he sees you.

You ask him: "What happened there? Anything bad?".
He says: "Nothing for your eyes, please go away".

Then when you try to inform him that there's a man hit by a car on the road near a flower stall, he doesn't believe you and tells you that there is a partol car near the said stall and he just talked to the driver by radio.

"As I said, you cannot go inside. If you think I will follow your tricks and let you in, you'd better stop now. I am not in a mood."

Suddenly a police radio in his car starts to make loud rattling sounds, switching channels and playing different stations.

"You stay right there, or better go away!" - He says and gets into the car. You see his back as he puzzles out the situation with radio, muttering curses.

When you look into the door, you see some weird brown substance on the stairs, as though as someone has spilled a jam. Also you think you hear a child's cry, but it's very quiet and sounds muted.

[Diablous]

Hmmm. This is odd. Sneak in.

[Flintus10]

Walk in and investigate the brown substance.

[Grek]

The officer said to stay here. He is a police officer. Police officers are trustworthy. Trust the police and stay here. Do not go inside, do not disturb the evidence. Ask the police officer if he has seen Anna when he comes back.

[Cheeetar]

No. Don't trust the authorities. Get in there. Anna could need your help.

[Deon]

It looks like the "go inside" thoughts swarm Jack's head. Also he's worried about Anna's fate. An update is soon.
Meanwhile I've started a wiki. We're just in a prologue of the story (unless we do something wrong and die; however I try to add enough evidences and tips for the game to be playable), and in any case I plan to save this world for other adventures, thus you will be able to see there things we've already passed, with some explanation (although without real spoilers until I can feel that you already know enough about an item/location/creature).

[Criptfeind]

Trust in the blue garbed man, he a friend, tell him that you know the person who lives here and are worried.

We are in what is appearing to be a horror movie, don't go alone, don't be special. We can get though this and not to be cold but Anna is second to Jack.

[Deon]

3 vs 2 as go/not go. The anticipation pushes you further, but some part of you (where did it come from? You always was a daredevil) asks you to follow officer's advice.

I wait for a bit more because I haven't rolled a dice yet and I want some more people to participate, because it's quite an important decision. In either case it should be interesting, however it may highly influence the whole further plot.

Spoiler: "Metagamey stuff, don't read if you don't want" (click to show/hide)

This is a game where you can miss important events, however it will not lead to "game over" or something, I will just have to change the outcome in an appropriate way. It works this way: you can stay safe but unknowing, or in danger but understanding what's going on. You have to balance between these two states to keep the game interesting and to survive.

We are in what is appearing to be a horror movie, don't go alone, don't be special.

I would like to avoid such meta thinking, at least for now . Jack is nervous about the death of that man, but he is not in a "horror" movie or something. Honestly, I can keep it a children creche with black cats, it all depends on your actions and a dice, so you shouldn't stress it too far.

[Deon]

I think I will start showing you some simple mechanics in such important situations. I will spoiler them though so someone who doesn't want numbers could skip them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rolling d6 to stay with policeman.

3-2 = 1 penalty (thoughts)
2 difficulty check penalty (you want to meet Anna as soon as possible)
3 penalty total. You have to roll 4-6 to stay, while 1-3 are failures.

Rolling...

Result
6 (Avg: 6.0)
