Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Eastern Yharnam, Hunter's clinic, back room

“Most of the Hunters that've talked about it seem to think it's permanent,” Victor replied to Nigel's inquiry about the metamorphosis-induced amnesia. He paused for a second before adding: “But they didn't really care about getting their memories back, either. The ones I have heard about getting their memories back were the ones actually trying to get them, and...”
He shrugged. “From what I hear, it's less about them remembering their past and more the memories coming to them in dreams. Maybe it's the gods.”

Without breaking his stride, Victor continued on his way toward the shattered door to the reception.

Status?

I would also ask to hear from Decimate, but it seems that it's been a few weeks since he has even logged in here, so I doubt it would do any good... I will puppet his character is necessary, at least for a little while.

Turning in a somewhat impatient manner to look at the blackboard Arcturus was indicating, Victor's jaw clenched visibly just a moment after directing his gaze there, his eyes shifting even more rapidly than they normally did.
He licked his lips as if to moisten them, then licked them again to get another taste of the blood that were still on them, before speaking: “Well... 'First Hunter' almost certainly refers to Dietrich of the Shining Wing, who leads the Hunters of the White Church. The rest I'm not so sure about; it may have something to do with all of you being 'special'. Seems like they maybe knew you would be and wanted to study you somehow.” He winced uncomfortably. “And it was supposed to be a secret.”

Turning away from the blackboard and facing the unoccupied center of the room, Victor sighed. “Make sure to grab anything you need to the trip. We should get moving as soon as possible.”
With those words he walked back through the rows of cots, somewhat awkwardly followed by Torquil, and moved to return to the reception.

I imagine there's probably a couple of stops along the way before the Cathedral Ward (there's a very peculiar blue lantern in the next room that Victor can't see, for instance), but I could certainly have Victor start moving and strongly encourage the characters to follow. (I won't actually make your characters follow unless you expressly give me permission to do so, or if you go missing for an extended period of time and I have no believable way to detach the character. But I can give your characters a reason to move on.)

As for the barrels, there's no need for anyone to go and check, it's quite obvious even at a glance: they are still practically overflowing with weapons, although the options appear to be limited to mundane swords, axes (hatchets, more specifically) and spears.

Just to make it clear (possibly reiterate, I'm uncertain whether I've specified this before), none of you should ever feel forced to make "filler" posts just to post something or just because no one else seems to have anything to post. I want your characters (and by extension, you) to drive the plot of the RP (this is their story, after all, whereas I am merely the narrator), but I also realize that all of your characters are currently somewhat lost and unaware of what's going on and probably a bit reliant on Victor for the time being, even though there has been some distrust towards him already.

If ever there is a time when none of you feel like your character has anything worthwhile to add to the situation, just say so and I will have my NPCs do something instead; in this case Victor, despite his newfound interest in keeping your characters compliant, is still primarily concerned with getting Adelicia to safety and wants to get moving; if none of your characters seem to have anything else keeping him there he is going to want to leave.

For that same reason I also highly prefer that you decline posting rather than just keep silent, so that if everyone declines I know to take action as the GM; I only drive the plot when you don't know where to take it.

EDIT: That isn't to say that you're not allowed to make "filler" posts, by the way, just that you aren't expected to do so unless you want to.

Any takers for the next post?

Given his background, Ludolf (if he remembers) may recognize the contents of the cabinet as a disassembled equipment for intravenous blood transfusion; essentially, items suited for blood ministration.

Victor accepted the key when Nigel handed it to him, although he did so muttering the words “But it's just a key...” under his breath, confused as to how “versed with the situation” one would need to be to figure out how to put a key in a lock and turn it. He pocketed it immediately despite his confusion, though, and his left hand – which he had received the key in – wasted no time going back to hovering next to his left hip, where his blunderbuss hang.

The Messenger reacted eagerly when Nigel reached out to pat it on the head, seeming to somehow be able to intuit his intentions and lean its head toward his hand like a pet eager to receive its master's caress. Rather than actually pat it, however, Nigel's hand met no resistance and simply passed right through the Messenger's head and body. The Messenger's excitement with the gesture did not seem diminished by this, as it clapped its hands happily while the other nearby Messengers stopped what they were doing to (presumably) glare enviously at their kinsman.

Opening the cabinet revealed that it, as had been hinted by its weight, was mostly empty, but not entirely. Various strange metal rods of various lengths, most of which had at least one hollow end, seemed like they could probably be assembled into a bigger contraption of some kind. There were also two coiled-up lengths of flexible tube and two empty bottles, and some scissors, but most of the shelf-space in the cabinet was empty and slightly scuffed-looking, as if objects had been cleared from it in a hurry. Looking at it more closely, however, Nigel did notice that at the back of one of the shelves, tugged away behind the two larger, empty bottles, was a small rack of vials filled with red liquid: three blood vials.

“The Cathedral Ward is the center of Yharnam, the district around the Grand Cathedral,” Victor shrugged when Nigel asked his question. “It's the heart of the Heal-... or, well, the white Healing Church, and is under its direct control and protection; no beasts are getting in there. It's also the headquarters of us Hunters of the White Church. You...” He paused, lost in thought for a moment before he continued: “Well, normally we get briefed by the First Hunter, but since you're special and all that... maybe Vicar Harold will want to see you?” He shrugged again. He was, after all, just a lowly Hunter.

Update?

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Old version

Gave the second area for the time being, the reception of the Hunter's Clinic, a try.

EDIT: Didn't like the blue sheen from the glow on everything, so I moved the layer to a lower level. Think it's a little better like this.
