Invitation: Crack Mansion



You (and all your characters) are cordially invited to spend a week hob-nobbing with the rich and famous at Crack Mansion. This spa-like locale is a favorite retreat of hedonists and divas alike. It also boasts a first rate chef, tennis courts and a yoga instructor.


The only drawback? Well, rumor is that the place is haunted. There are supposedly four ghosts roaming the halls. I have it on good authority that only one of them is real. Will you be able to discover which one?


FAQ and teaser for the upcoming week
- you'll have opportunities to obtain clues by performing research and/or tasks
- clues are given 'per player' versus 'per character'
- you are welcome to wander into haunted rooms and share your clues/intel with others -- however, please do not talk about your clues outside the crack post (ie. chatrooms, IM, etc)
- Beware! A player may be possessed by the Crack Mansion Ghost and could feed you a false clue in an effort to divert suspicion to the false ghosts.
- the ghosts will not be characters or players in the game, so while it might sound like a game of mafia, it most assuredly is NOT. The ghosts are figments of my imagination only. Think scooby-doo not mafia. 'kay?


So, pack your bags, call your chauffeur and we'll see you on Monday morning!



In the meantime, feel free to RP here, chat about what characters you want to bring along, trip preparations, etc. Nothing in this post will be related to the actual haunted mansion - it's just a 'heads-up' type of thing and something to do on the weekend in case you wanted it. :)

Also feel free to leave questions in the questions thread of this post. Please note that I'm at a con and traveling tomorrow - I won't be home until LATE tomorrow night, so my response may be a bit sporadic/delayed until we actually start on Monday.

One of my characters is a ghost. I will enjoy her in the haunted mansion. :D

Will Danny be going?

My plan is to bring all 16 of my people - we'll see if I actually pull that off.

I'm hoping there's a baby. And if there is a baby. then my Pharm & tox class will be cancelled for two weeks. And if it is cancelled I'll be able to play mroe during the week. In which case I hope to bring all of mine.

So as Baby Watch 2012 continues, hope hard for there to be a baby, lol, for my sanity if nothing else.

I hope for that baby. And an RP baby. *glares at Morgan*

[identity profile] ondragonflywing.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you get that baby too.

I mean....you could...or...you could eat it. Which was its intended purpose.

I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

((which may or may not be one of the catchphrases this weekend. lol. We all keep dropping everything.))

*HOPES HARD*

[identity profile] sparklesdani.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Prolly going to bring Puck and Kurt, obvs. Maybe Santana. IDK about Thor. He's hard to bring places lol. Especially since he doesn't know anyone.

..tbh I have no idea why any of my characters are going to be there, but I'm gonna wing it, like I've done the other weeks. :P

ALSO YAY GHOSTS AND YOGA

Natasha will be there if that helps with the Thor situation. :)

[identity profile] csichick-2.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I can throw people at Thor.

Kate and Buffy. Should be fun. Kate's the ultimate skeptic, and Buffy's... Buffy, LOL.

I hope to bring my girls: Bela, Nina, and Natasha. I may also bring Cara (if Erik is there, as I promised Meg they could meet) and/or House.

We'll see if RL is more cooperative this week than in previous ones. :)

Rick, Giles and Barney. Rick will soooooooo love a haunted house.

[identity profile] queer-theory.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
When I was playing Giles, he was helping another one of my characters to become human again. I don't suppose your Giles would be interested in doing that?

[identity profile] secondalto.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Giles is nothing if not helpful.

I'll make sure that Annie introduces herself during the week then. :D

Her husband will be pleased.

HOORAY!!!

What are we going to do with Kira and Barney after Sunnydale?

[identity profile] secondalto.livejournal.com 2012-10-22 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
*shrug* They can just be together. Explore if there is something to their relationship.

[identity profile] csichick-2.livejournal.com 2012-10-22 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Works for me.

[identity profile] queer-theory.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I could potentially bring anyone... Not Michael if G isn't bringing Danny, but definitely Kivrin, Annie, Blaine, Ginny, Remus, Anya (maybe?), Kat, Penny Lane, Alec... a few new characters. Am not on my computer, so I am not remembering who my characters are right now. :P

[identity profile] csichick-2.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Remus should probably talk to Snape at some point during the week. Severus is feeling a bit lonely.

[identity profile] queer-theory.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor Severus. Remus would love to talk with him.

[identity profile] csichick-2.livejournal.com 2012-10-21 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sirius and Draco would talk to him, but as they're also me, it would get a bit awkward.

Annie is, like, "A ghost whisperer?"

OOH MILES YAY! \o/
