Heart Soldier Amnesplora

[idolpro]

You awaken slowly, laying in the middle of a cold, hard stone floor … and realise that you have absolutely no idea where you are, how you got here, and who any of these people are.

Some of you may also be wondering who you are, too. Hm. That's probably concerning.

OFFICE

[idolpro]

You enter the Office. There is a desk strewn with stuff: a haphazard pile of notebooks, a few newspaper clippings, a half completed crossword puzzle, and a sudoku grid that was clearly filled in with pencil, failed spectacularly, and then erased to try again.

You'll also find a coffee mug filled with frigidly cold black coffee … and another one, almost empty. And another one, half full. And another one; two big gulps would've finished it off. A mostly full bag of gummy bears. A black robe flung over the back of the spinny office chair, with a pair of rubber gloves hanging out of the pocket.

Against one wall is a counter with a kettle, a pot of coffee grounds and a sink. Beneath the counter is a fridge.

There is one door.

[happydreamed]

Well this is different.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right?

It's like we stepped into a whole nother genre.

[happydreamed]

Truly baffling.

[What's in the fridge?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Beelining for the gummy bears himself, but peeking over to see what's in there]

[idolpro]

There's a couple of things in the fridge. The first is an unopened bottle of five gallon of whole fat milk; the second is a tiny tub of some medicinal-smelling salve. But perhaps more importantly, you can see another door set into the back. A secret passage?

[happydreamed]

You should apply some of this salve, I think.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It some kind of medicine?

[happydreamed]

Smells like it to me, and I have some familiarity with making medicine, I recall.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well - don't hurt to try.

[Holding out a hand for it?]

[happydreamed]

[Passes it over. Be healed.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Applying medicinal salve to his copious bite marks,]

[idolpro]

It's hard to say exactly what the salve will do just from looking at it … but if you happen to smear it on an injury, you'll find that it has healing properties! It's potent enough to completely heal minor cuts and bruises, and take the edge off of anything worse.

[happydreamed]

[While he's doing that, opens the Secret Door.]

Re: OFFICE

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Beelining for the gummy bears, but he'll take a look through those newspaper clippings while he's there]

Man, someone's been pulling all-nighters.

Re: OFFICE

[idolpro]

There are three clippings. ”28 now missing under mysterious circumstances.” ”Who Lives In That House on the Hill?” ”Reports of Cthulhu-esque Monster in Local Lake”

Hidden beneath the clippings was a carrot. Huh.

Re: OFFICE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we got some kind of mystery going on here.

[Vaguely, to Doctor]

[He keeps the carrot]

[happydreamed]

Indeed. Twenty-eight, hm... Are we included in that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Checks out, don't it?

Maybe we're haunting the house we got kidnapped to.

[Checking out that notebook]

[idolpro]

This notebook is empty, except for one page at the back: "do it for her".

Read the next notebook?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Absolutely reading the next notebook]

[idolpro]

This notebook is filled with scribbles in such bad handwriting you can't read anything in it except the numbers "666". There are cute doodles though! whoever owns this notebook has been practising drawing anime eyes, and cute faces turned slightly to the left.

Read the next notebook?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Next one, too]

[idolpro]

This notebook is filled with different pentagrams and magic circles. One one page, which has a sketch of the same pentagram you woke up on, has a scribble in the margin, "if they're gone by daybreak, so's all this hard bloody work"

Read the next notebook?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[THE PLOT THICKENS]

[Keeps going]
