The Exam: IC Community

Too many of these assholes are failing the what would you name this dog test. If you've met any locals who aren't LAME, tell them to come by the clinic and adopt a fucking puppy. Or try to anyway. I mean, maybe everybody in this town is just a plant and this is all some kind of screwed up test, but I'm still not handing these dogs over to anyone who can't even pick a decent name.

Do you have a first aid kit handy? Nothing life threatening, just went to explore the nearby farm and got more than I bargained for.

Yeah, uh. About that glitter bomb [...] thing. And the pine cones. Is there any way to abstain from these pranks for like, a day or two? I need time to compartmentalize a ton of messed up shit I just found out and this isn't helping Does anyone else need a break? Maybe we could use white flags or something.

There's a special place in hell for people who use glitter as a weapon.

I don't understand.

( They’d gotten out of one hell scenario and went right into something else unknown, so everything was all topsy turvy. )

Hi. For anyone who doesn't know who I am, my name's Eddie. I'm your mom now. Can I get a roll call of all the younger people? Who's here from the nightmare funhouse? Any new kids on the block? That one's for you, Ben and Bev I grabbed some first aid stuff so if you need that in the future, I can hook you up.

Anyway, I'm gonna start seeing if I can stockpile basic essentials—batteries, flashlights, water bottles, that kind of shit. Add to the list if you need and I'll see what I can do. We could also use weapons, but I don't have as much experience in that beyond, you know, this pointy thing could maybe stab someone.

Everyone okay? Who needs what?

[ *ooc: the usual! if your character is 25 or under, they're on this filter. no need to have spoken to eddie before. he's keeping a list of all the youngins. ]

Is there a bedroom above the ballroom? I've only seen the door that opens on the drop off.

Your plants are all plants again. The live kind. I just checked.

If we're counting the attic as a crypt, there's a spot in the steps up there hiding a wedding ring that is now Gretel's so I guess that was a tethered, ball-and-chain reference from the typewriter with a weird sense of humor.

We kind of want to polish it though so can anyone post their best method to get a ring shiny?

So, the attic is empty.

There is a dead body in the attic. We think it may be our host.

Has anyone else tried starting up a fire again in the fireplace? Nothing that I try is taking and the one that was there is out.

[FILTERED TO BOTH WANDAS, GANSEY, BLUE, PARRISH, GALE, GRETEL, STEVE, & ERIK]

Think we found that key you were looking for. Or at least it's a key that may or may not open the attic, so don't blame me if it doesn't. Are we sure we want to let whatever could be up there out? And I swear to God if one of you says WHY, I'll feed this thing to the giant plant.

There was a cursed dance in the ballroom yesterday. I'm not going back in there and if you're smart, you won't go either.

What the fuck is it with this place and eyeballs? If anybody wants to watch a creepy movie with the lamest soundtrack ever, there was a projector behind one of the paintings in the room with the fireplace. The fucking lounge? Whatever.

Still have this dumb safe in the library too, for the asshole keeping track. It's probably full of eyeballs like everything else but it's annoying AF so if you find three numbers in a weird ass clue somewhere, cough them up.
