Nocturnum - Chapter I

[Toptomcat]

This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Benjiro goes back to the front desk again, speaking as if he can't quite believe his own eyes.
"Apparantly there's some sort of secret door right underneath the space you've lent me. Did you know anything about that?"
Assuming the answer is in the negative...
"I'm going to go check it out. Call the police if I'm not back by closing time, would you?"
Benjiro goes back to his rented space and mostly empties his gym bag into a corner, leaving his personal weapons in it. That accomplished, he descends the stairs again and begins walking down the corridor.

Just a bunch of carvings, Roger tries to convince himself as he looks at the eerie scene. Who would carve such a thing behind the screen.. He decides to look for a way to raise the screen so it won't feel so cramped.

[sblock]Search +7, and he'll go look for a control room if he needs to. If nothing happens on the way, Knowledge(religion) +7, Knowledge(occult) +7 to figure out what the carvings mean and who might have made them.[/sblock]

~Roger~

Roger searches and finds a control that looks to raise the screen, but the switch is manipulated by a key-lock design and therefore he can find no way to raise the screen at this time. Looking closer at the statues he notices them as creatures of myth. Satyrs, centaurs and the like and also that they are portable and so not stationary to one spot.

~Benjiro~

Benjiro walks cautiously down the tight, badly lit corridor, as he passes posters with frightening visages displayed on them or scenes of imposing architecure. Reaching the source of the light, he confirms that it is in fact an old film projector, one side of the film reels spinning a full complement of movie film on it, the loose end dangling and swaying back and forth as the circle of metal spins over and over. Behind the projector is a wall, seemingly a dead end, but Benjiro hears more sounds occasionally. A multitude of electronic beeps can be heard at irregular intervals and flashes of light emit from the outline of the wall.

Interesting. Although it was a bit too much. The theater was fitting the stereotype of a haunted building almost too well.

It was a shame the curtain was locked, but it made sense. Sarah wouldn't want this to be in plain sight of her customers. Fearing that another confrontation with Sarah to get the key might involve him in physical labor, Roger decides instead to continue to search the theatre for anything that might be a hidden room, or an entrance to an attic or basement apart from the one they found yesterday.

(So the projector isn't projecting anything? Can it be fixed to do so?)

 

[Majin]

OoC: Tom - The projector is just flickering light at the moment, but there is a full reel attached, but it has ran through all the way, hence the full circle of film that is spinning around.

 

[Toptomcat]

Benjiro examines the film reel for a title. If it's not anything all that unusual, he'll start examining the peculiar wall more closely: if it seems unusual, or if he can't find a title, he tries to get the projector to play the movie.

...am I the only person still interested in this?

 

[Velmont]

OOC: I'm still there, but I roleplay Steven as he is, not very bright but godo hearted. I suppose moving all the pieces take some times, and thus, he can't do that much for now...

 

[DrZombie]

OOC : no, still here. UNsure of where, approaching a group, but noone seems to react..
