Joe rolls his eyes.

"You're gonna get that tounge bitten off some day."

Heh, wierdo. Bah, I'll just leave it here with a note.
She knocks on the door and when she gets an answer, she quietly enters and leaves the project inside.


That's wierd. He came out to get it right away last time.

"Wierd. I'm gonna go to the office and try to find any leads on that car."

Joe heads for the main office, and enters. He spots the binder where the student schedules are keps for open record, so visitors can find students. He bends down and whispers to Mel.

"Run interference for me?"

Mel sighs but nods and goes up to the desk.

Umm, excuse me.

The secretary looks up from her work, coming over to the desk. "Yes dear?"

While the secretary's back is turned, Joe flips to the schedules of three students he knows well. A junior he worked with for a few summers lifeguarding, and a pair of senior girls. He coughs to cover the sound as he tears out the pages and folds them, tucking them in his pocket.

Well you see.

Mel snaps in the air looking like she's having trouble phrasing how to put things.

My brother, he's been having a bit of trouble in classes and frankly, he's not doing good at all. You see there's been some rumors going around school and well they've been bugging him.

The secretary looks worried. "Really dear? What are these rumors? Maybe he should go to the counselor; it really is difficult to stop rumors amongst the children, you know."

The woman sighs. "Would he like to make an appointment with the principal? Perhaps he could come in and set something up?"

Joe tries to catch a glance at the daily absentee report.

Jim looks over, breaking his attemtion from the game for a second.

"You have a guess who it might have been? A couple of likely morons?"

Hi all,

Due to the lack of free time that advanced engineering leaves me, as well as other pet projects that sap the few minutes I do get, I am forced to declare my games 'dead'.

We've had a great run, and it's been entertaining as all heck, but I just can't keep up with it. I mentioned this might happen, but hoped it wouldn't; it finally did.

As promised, I will reveal the plots for my games, and a general idea of what I wanted to happen.

HALLOWEEN

We barely got started, but I had some cool ideas for this. Basically, the jocks made a pact with a local goth/budding sorceress, and called a demon. They got to excel in sports of all types, and their futures would be full of the fame and riches that come from being world-class athletes; the catch, they had to sacrifice someone to the demon once a year on the day of their original pact: Halloween, last year. If not, the demon would be free, and it's first victims would be the jocks, but it wouldn't stop there.

The man at the beginning was aware of the whole thing, I hadn't worked out just who he'd be. He made it so Oranecro, the demon, wouldn't get out; right away. As the days keep rewinding, the demons influence woudl grow over all, and people would get meaner - note the car on day 2. Eventually it would lead to a carbomb, the school woudl call the police on sight of strange people (who would shoot to kill), Jims dad would get mean, possibly physical. You get the idea.

Many of the 'clues' couldn't be found unless you risked everything; things that likely would put you in jail or kill you, since it wouldn't matter and you could convey the info the next day. The end result would lead you to the 'ceremony' for the demon, where the players would somehow stop the ritual (I had a few ideas, but hadn't settled on HOW yet).

And that's it for Halloween.

Caio.

;-)

Aw nuts. That sounded wicked cool.

Sorry to hear about your situation, hope you can come back full force soon.
