Who: MI:13! - Wisdom, Black Knight, Psylocke, Wolfsbane
NPCs: various ghosts, ghouls and tourists
When: Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Where: Madam Tussad's London
What: Someone - or something- is haunting London's number one tourists spot. So it's up to MI:13 to save the day!
Rating: PG-13, probably
Madame Tussaud's ... the famous one in London, was always packed with a line from around the corner. For some reason tourists wanted to look at waxy fake celebrities and have their pictures taken. And normally that is how it went, the tourists went in, got their snaps, and got to go home with a picture worth a thousand words, and a lovely - albeit fake - memory of meeting a famous person.
"These things look faker than the falsies I was manhandling last night." Pete said, his eyes glancing at a wax celebrity of Sean Connery. "Wisdom. Pete Wisdom. Don't yeh forget it, wanker."
He grabbed his print out from MI:13's message. "Right, so Ali tells us, some sad sod of an American found himself talking to Queen Elizabeth while roaming this place. Then another chatted it up with that bald guy from Star Trek. So, all this says is a practical joke - an April Fool's one, even... stupid holiday... until a whole family from Berlin saw some floating human head next to Mel Gibson and another bird got accosted by Benny Hill." He snorted at this. He looked up at his team. "Ali thinks we got ourselves a ghost hunt, mates. I personally think it's bollocks."
The museum was not completely closed, just one corridor of wax actors that apparently saw the most ghostly action. There was also tourists a plenty -- all of them snapping away with their cameras, apparently a lot of them thought that this was some sort of floor show, put on for their amusement. Some of Pete's comments had caused some of the mothers in attendance to clap their hands over the ears of their children. And had caused a few children, whose mothers hadn't been so quick with the covering of the ears, left to explain what falsies where.
The wax figure of Tom Jones? Very willing to help out by explaining what falsies were ...
Suddenly, a crowd of five American college kids screamed.
((ooc: Ok, so there will be some fun ghosts and ghouls showing up. All four are together now, but they will separate to two groups later. Pete is assuming leader because of his experience. If someone has issues, then please, tell Pete. :)))
