Kitchen

"One of me is going to stay inside, in case Junkyard -

"Alan, the name's Alan," he interjects confidently.

changes his mind or anything."

"Honestly, I don't know where you guys are coming up with all these nicknames. Are there comic books in your rooms or something?"

 

[Victim]

Before leaving: "Ian, would you like to come?" I think he'll say no. And didn't ...Alan not have a name yesterday? Maybe he remembers something too.

After getting a response from everyone in the kitchen, Ashley heads off, setting a fairly gentle pace. She focuses on her flashback from the day before, Hmm, in the vision/memory/trick yesterday, I was injured somehow in a fight. Then some woman talks to me and pulls me to my feet. A possible enemy - or child - appears, I shove her out of the way and then attack. I should have seen more of what she looked like - face, clothing/uniform, anything. I don't want to just imagine things to fill in the blanks though. She rubs her head.

Ashley replies absently to Michael, "Something like that, maybe." His further remarks make his intentions more apparent though. Oh. He's trying to see if we remember yesterday. So he must remember too.

She practices her throwing; scooping up small rocks or fallen branches and then launching them with her power.
--------------------------------
Are there any animals on the grounds besides the dogs - that she can discern anyway? Survival +8.

"Eat, drink, mate, and be content?" Ashley sneers at the cute boy. "Yeah, that's really being alive. As an animal. Human beings should have a higher purpose than merely satisfying basic instincts."

Haven only shrugged, "Its not like humans aren't animals, we do do all of those things just like other animals. I'm not saying we should never try to be more, but we should enjoy what we have while we have it because it would suck to not haven enjoyed something once you've lost it."

Haven listens to Michael's questions abit perplexed then he shrugs, it was a weird way to flirt, but he was trying to at least. He was curious what the answers would be.

“Yeah,” Dee adds incredulously, “Anyway, I want to do more with my day then talk about how we are or are not like animals.”

Michael gets a 21 on his Bluff check, assuming to send a secret message; Dee rolls a 19 Sense Motive check and discerns it; those that remember don’t really need a roll since it seems pretty obvious. He gets a 19 Sleight of Hand and easily palms the knife without notice.

As the group congregates outside Dee turns to Michael, “No records yet, but maybe today will be better then yesterday, right Ash? Oh and Ash if you are finished with that magazine I would like to read it later… you know whenever you have time.”

Bluff check of 16 and a 20 for anyone attracted to females to send a coded message, obviously without memories it makes the context of the message pretty damn difficult to follow. But welcome to try. Meaning a Sense Motive check is not needed for those that remember.

The only animals one could see are birds in the trees and the dogs, which are both inside currently.

Alan

The house is quiet and nothing is out of place, with many what you figure must be old antiques and keepsakes. Upstairs he sees Michael standing around on the second floor. There are stairs leading to a third floor, but not much goes on up there… or at least you think not much goes on up there.

You could be wrong.

Both Michael and Alan hear Vanessa’s voice, “Hey is anyone down there I could use a hand!”

 

[Velmont]

Ian finish his glass of cranberry juice and look at Alan leaving. "I think I miss the event of they day. What were you talking about? Why is he talking about conspiracy?" he asks Ashley.

Alan follows Vanessa's voice to its origin.

"Sure thing. Hold on, this place is like a museum!"

Assuming Michael's double and Alan head up...

Vanessa is precariously holding up a large bookcase, devoid of books, struggling to try and move it and seems to be in the bad position of possibly being crushed though not to death but to some harm if not helped. She looks up, “I guess I got a little carried away?”

 

[Shalimar]

Haven may play dumb to be cute and endearing sometimes, but he wasn't actually stupid, he got that something was going on from the conversation, but he didn't know quite what, and playing dumb would only hinder whatevr was going on so he simply listened as the women and Michael spoke in some sort of elaborate code.

 

[Shayuri]

Facade watches them both, a little smirk playing around her lips.

"Well, that answers that," she says cryptically. "Look...not to be the dead squirrel rotting under the floor of your cabin, but now that we've worked out the basics, lets see what happens if we discuss it openly. What do you guys say?"

Dee glances at Haven, "It really does not matter, idiot boy wouldn't understand either way... my suggestion is to take it slow... the first time I did something rash... and I was right back in bed."

"I am not sure how long this has been happening but, this isn't the first time I can recall it happening... this would be the third time for me," Dee adds.
