[OOC] Wilderness Wonderland: A Mascot Horror Game (Monster of the Week)

The Story So Far...

A small group of people all meet at an abandoned and derelict amusement park for their own reasons. The amusement park opened 15 years ago, greatly advertised and rising in popularity, only for it to suddenly shut down 5 years ago. Nobody knows why the park shut down, and any articles or information about the park were all deleted or taken down from various sources. The only clue and hope the investigators have is the AI Mascot Guide in the Amusement Park who seems to be more than just mere programming...

Go ahead and post your characters in the Characters Tab. The first IC post will be written once the Prologues are completed. ^_^

[fellsing]

@Redking0380 Little bit stuck on which of Loch's history hooks could apply to William, but I've narrowed it down to these three:
• Members of the same support group.
• The signs all pointed to working together. So you found them and now you work together.
• You know each other through cryptozoology and conspiracy theory websites.
Which do you think would fit best?

[ihinka]

@Redking0380, I believe I have an interesting connection suggestion for William with one of Cassidy's playbook histories:

"You used your powers on them one time. Decide if it was for selfish reasons or not, and tell them if they found out about it."

What if after William lost his wife in moments of desperation he sought out mediums and the like with the hope he would be able to communicate with her. He never got into contact with Cassidy, because few people know she can see ghosts and spirits. But Cassidy may have found out he was looking for a connection and could have possibly slipped him a note with some sort of final message from his wife to give to William. Without him ever learning it was Cassidy who delivered it.

How does that sound?

Working together may be best, but it also be funny if William had no idea about that. So you just showed and was like 'less go'

@Redking0380

Honestly...
I can kind of imagine Loch doing that.
They did all this research on William, probably finding out about his past and was like "He's perfect". And then just started showing up around him.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Quick status update!

Two of the characters have completed their prologues, while two are still in progress. ^_^

Also...I can't believe nobody has made this joke yet, so I will!

Duck Billed O'Malley: *Stands there*
Doofenshmirtz: A Leprechaun Platypus?
Duck Billed O'Malley: *Dons the hat*
Doofenshmirtz: Perry the Leprechaun Platypus!

@Redking0380

The "The signs all pointed to working together..." is a connection from Loch's playbook though. Not Cassidy's so I guess if you're fine with what I suggested let's go with that. You can decide what the message from William's wife was. But he doesn't know who delivered it. Since Cassidy isn't the kind to go around finding people to 'work' with. I'm gathering Loch is going to be the glue of this particular crew. And Loch can have their 'It's all connected' pinboard that way

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Fun Fact: Duck-Billed O'Malley had a realistic brown and black color scheme like that of an actual platypus back when he was built. But this was changed to match Perry the Platypus's teal and orange color scheme during a promotional event for Phineas and Ferb back in 2007. The change was supposed to be temporary, but the kids liked it so much that O'Malley refused to change back when the event was done.

Edit: Also, there's meant to be a - in Duck-Billed. You seem to forget to add that every so often though.

@rush99999

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing! XD

Sory about the lack of a dash. ^^" I'll be sure to keep that in mind from now on.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Heads up! Starting next Tuesday, RL will get busier for me. So I am going to go ahead and get the actual game started beforehand, since I've got all of the posts for Prologues out for now. ^_^

@Redking0380 Please don't forget about establishing your William's histories with the rest of the Crew from The Wronged List. ^_^

The Wronged History Options

•They helped you at a critical point in your quest for revenge. Tell them what you needed help with.
•They stood between you and what you needed to find out. Ask them why.
•They also lost a friend or relative to these monsters. Ask them who it was.
•Relations, close or distant. Tell them exactly what.
•You saved their life, back when they were a pathetic newbie hunter. Ask them what you saved them from.
•You respect their hard-earned knowledge, and often come to them for advice.
•They showed you the ropes when you were learning how to fight.
•They saw you absolutely lose it and go berserk. Tell them what the situation was, and ask them how much collateral damage you caused.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Yeah I've been thinking through it, and was still pondering

I feel like Loch would work for the Help, even though it might be framed as more them doing so on their own instead of asking.
O'Malley would very well as work as seeing gone berserk, if also in a strange way maybe.
Cassidy is one I am blanking on.

[rush99999]

O'Malley would very well as work as seeing gone berserk, if also in a strange way maybe.

@Redking0380

Very well. Upon seeing William in such a state, O'Malley would not have permitted much in the way of collateral damage.

If whatever William was raging against couldn't be reasoned with and was a threat to innocent people, O'Malley would have ensured the violence was focused solely on the threat and that William didn't hurt himself too much or damage anything else in the process.

If the recipient of William's fury could be reasoned with and/or wasn't a threat to the innocent though, O'Malley would restrain William and not let go until everyone had calmed.

@rush99999

Man, he would definitely just be going at animatronics with an axe or something NGL

[rush99999]

Keep O'Malley between William and other animatronics at all times. Got it.

[rush99999]

@Guardian Angel Haruki
Was it your intention to have O'Malley start with his back to the others or can he see them from the get go?

@fellsing
Was Loch a they/them back before Covid or was this a recent development?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Guardian Angel Haruki

@rush99999

Yes, that was my intention. He can hear them approach if they're not deliberately sneaking up on him.

OOC

Duck-Billed O'Malley uses magic. He rolls a 13 and opts to observe another place. Specifically, any place in sight of Wilderness Wonderland's security cameras.

@rush99999

OK. I'll go ahead and send the result to you over PMs.

OOC

I want Loch to investigate the fence's door on the way in. Would that be Investigate a Mystery or Read a Bad Situation?

@fellsing

Go ahead and roll Investigate a Mystery. ^_^

[fellsing]

I feel like Loch would work for the Help, even though it might be framed as more them doing so on their own instead of asking.

@Redking0380

You mean this one: "They helped you at a critical point in your quest for revenge. Tell them what you needed help with."?

@fellsing
Was Loch a they/them back before Covid or was this a recent development?

@rush99999

That is a great question, that I hadn't considered before just now. Errr....

I'm gonna say they were not going they/them before Covid.

Go ahead and roll Investigate a Mystery. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Got a 9, meaning I get one question.

I guess the obvious question is "What happened here?"

@fellsing

Upon investigating the fence door, Loch can see that a padlock is hanging off of the chain, in tact. Loch would realize that somebody lock picked the fence door open earlier today.

[ihinka]

So, before I get cracking on with my intro post, I need a couple clarifications. We are arriving here independently of each other. Each to investigate the park for our own reasons. But since we've established histories with each other, does this mean this is our first job together, even by chance? Or do we know each other, but we came here independently for reasons?
