Paranormal Researchers

The OOC is not Open
Idea: You are one person in a small group of friends who like all things paranormal. In a world just like our own, with little supernatural events or sightings. (It's debatable for people to believe or not to believe in ghosts, psychics, etc.) One day you got together with some friends and decided it'd be fun to start up a business to investigate paranormal disturbances for either individuals or businesses. You'd use high tech equipment to measure and record and maybe even catch a glimpse of that elusive ghost.

The Paranormal:
ESP- Extrasensory perception. For this game there are two different types.

• Type A: These people have a mild sixth sense as it were. A Type A ESPer is someone who can sense things that aren't normal. Though all Type A people have to focus on this skill in order to make it work. Some people can see Auras if they focus. Some can sense spirits (but not see or talk to them).
• Type B: Thses people are highly in tune with the paranormal. They are mediums, clairvoyants, telekinesis, etc.

Ghosts:

There are two different types of ghosts. There are your ghosts that are spirits of the departed who have not passed on. Then there are the imprints of people.
The spirits can manifest in my different types. Vengeful spirits, poltergeists, women in white, demons, etc. Each spirit is different and should be treated with caution.

The Equipment:
This link is perhaps the easiest way to familiarize yourself with ghost hunting equipment.

The Job:
The story will begin with the first job. We'll begin on site, so it's not too tedious. However before that we'll have to assign roles and know what's going on. Roles that are open (And roles can include more than one of these): Camera Operator. Technician. Coordinator. Ghost Whisperer, a.k.a. the guy who goes and wanders about trying to get a sighting.

locations:
Both real and fictional. For the first "adventure" I'm going to use a real haunted location. Though I might change a few details.

Who am I looking for?
I'm looking for 4-5 people to join. This would be a smaller group. If I get five people joining, I'll just take all the NPCs and let you guys have at it. ~

Where is it going?
Casual.

[Casual to Advanced] Some assembly may be required.

May said Suggest almost any plot in a fantasy setting and I'm probably going to love it
~urban fantasy (like Dresden Files and werewolves and stuff like that)

I love urban fantasy. I read Briggs, Butcher, and other prominent UF authors. I do have a few plots of my own that could work if you're interested. They'd be in my interest check.

Shadowrun

I kind of assumed you wanted more interest. And those people would probably have more input than me and then we'd be ready for an OOC wherein we'd probably be ready to address what I'm thinking. Not that I wanted an OOC "RIGHT NOW". :D

Shadowrun

It did.

Munk said But these things get really complicated really quickly, so maybe we should just stick to hashing it out in the OOC.

So I guess I'll wait for an OOC then for the rest of it. :D

Shadowrun

Questions (Yay!)
I've skimmed through what you've given me twice. (Still cross-eyed) Now I've got some questions. I'm assuming we're going to be Shadowrunners. So that's not really a question.
1) Races. In the manual (of doom!) there are humans, elves, trolls, orcs and dwarves that are playable. However in the wiki link you gave there are such things as shapeshifters. Link. Are we just going stick with the main five races, or can we play others?
2) You mentioned rolling dice, how much will that affect our characters. Will we need to pull up stats and the like to also affect our dice roll (if we do such a thing)
3) I'm going out on a limb here and assuming this is mostly going to be free form because you didn't put this in the table top area, confirmation?

Whew. About done for now.

"You're welcome." Shigetoshi said sounding slightly confused by what Tatsuki said, but assumed it was a compliment. Or at least he hoped it was. With Tatsuki just fine in the kitchen, Shigetoshi headed out to the main counter. Mr. Ito is already waiting for the Innkeeper and the young man hurries up a little so he doesn't make him wait more. The family man is eager to get going because he wants to check out right then. However Shigetoshi has to bid him to wait.

"I'm terribly sorry for the delay. But I haven't had a chance to tally your final total. If you could wait but a few minutes, I'll have it to you as soon as possible." The harried Innkeeper said finally. Mr. Ito frowned, but finally nodded his head. Wiping the mental sweat from his brow Shigetoshi did the calculations as fast as he could. The young business owner came up with a total, double check it, wrote it down and passed it to Mr. Ito. The other man looked at the total than back at Shigetoshi. The look in the other's eyes was all the warning Shigetoshi needed. Mr. Ito was going to contest the total.

About an hour later the Ito family finally left. Shigetoshi slumped down onto the counter and groaned. Elsewhere he could hear the Fujiwara sisters laughing. The Asian sighed out a thousand years worth of happiness in one go. He had broken even on the Ito family despite his best try to earn some money. The father was a penny pinching scoundrel. He wouldn't take responsibility for anything his children did. What was the world coming to?

"Tough time?"

Shigetoshi looked up into the the crevice filled face of Mr. Inoue. The older man was smiling gently. "I cannot say I am sorry to see those four go." Shigetoshi picked himself off the counter and made a noncommittal noise. It wasn't good to talk ill about customers, even if they had paid and gone. Mr. Inoue seemed to pick up on that and dropped the subject. "I was wondering if you were free, I need your help."

Shigetoshi nodded his head. He reached under the counter and pulled out his tools and followed Mr. Inoue back to his room. By the time he was finished repairing, it was after lunch. Thankfully the Fujiwara sisters had taken care of that as promised. They even saved him some food since he had missed the main meal. The married sisters did take advantage of him and quiz him about Tatsuki. At first he had tried to keep Tatsuki's privacy, but they had ways of interrogation that would make the Shogunate and the Samurai envious.

After they got every possible ounce of information out of him, which wasn't much, he was able to escape. He busied himself by cleaning rooms, both occupied and unoccupied. He checked the hot springs water temperature and for cleanliness. By the time the sun began to sink below the horizon, Shigetoshi was tired. He hadn't gotten much sleep last night, mainly because of Tastuki's late arrival. Though he didn't pay that any attention. He was more worried about Tatsuki. Was he back? Did he get there okay? If he had been quick, the younger man should be back soon. Letting his worry move him, Shigetoshi went to Tatsuki's room, then the kitchen. He was in neither place. Then he saw a small paper pinned to the table with a knife.

The black haired man drifted over and pulled out the knife after seeing his name. He smiled a little at the note and his worry went away. He was back and safe. He didn't have to go after the other man. It was a relief. He can't resist, at this point, poking around the kitchen to see what had been procured for dinner. He's a little dismayed at the quality of ingredients and amount of meat. He mentally tallied how much it would have cost and how much he needed to give back to Tatsuki for reimbursement. The Inn wasn't wealthy and neither was Shigetoshi. Though he would make due. After all, it was better to make the customers happy. He'll just be a little more frugal in the future.

Shigetoshi washed the rest of the dishes left over from lunch and made sure everything was in order before going to fetch Tatsuki. He opened the door to the public hot spring with enough noise to alert anyone of his presence. "Tatsuki-san?" Shigetoshi asks as he steps into the cool dark outside.

Shadowrun

Vaguely.

I've read a little about it, but I probably need to read up more. The link you gave seems to be handy. I'll have to troll that for more information.

Shadowrun

I did, but alas, the time everyone is available is like 3 in the morning for me. And to be honest, I'm not staying up that long just to get in a game.

Shadowrun

I've always wanted to get into shadowrun game, but I haven't been able to find anyone who runs one where I live. Here it's all Magic Cards, LoL, and D&D.
