Murder XX: A Night In Terror Town

Theo Raeken

"When it comes to the supernatural, there is no time limit. I have dealt with a werewolf from the 1700s and another from World- 1942."
He caught himself before he said World war 2, if they eventually would have similar history, he didn't want to make a paradox where an entire war never happened. " As for when I am, it's 2017."

Theo ignored Penny's drink suggestion and followed the others silently and took a deep breath. "It might be easier if we took a vote on who wants to go down instead of throwing them down." Though the temptation to throw Chucky down was there, he renained calm as he made the suggestion.

The Devil caught up with the rest of the group and decided to have a...."nice" conersation with the doll

"So Chucky, why are you such a douche all the time. Don't get me wrong I acctually enjoy it."


He said waiting for a snarky remark.

The discussion of the year did pique Sammy's interest just a bit, though not enough to actually participate in discussion. Oh, what nonsense. All these people and their numbers. It was the 1930s, was that not so? ...Granted, he couldn't say precisely what year in the 1930s, but it was definitely still then. Or perhaps not, judging from his memories of posters hung in the cartoon studio urging one to buy bonds--But that'd be silly. Bonds meant there had to have been a second world war. Which...There hadn't been. He'd know that. Wouldn't he?

People didn't just leave people in the basements of cartoon studios to be consumed by ink and eventually turn to cults.

Right?

Either way, Sammy didn't comment.
Opening the hatch Chucky found a ladder leading down. The darkness enveloped the area and you couldn't get a good look what was down there or how far down the ladder actually went.

Up the stairs, and then the doll found some sort of...Hatch. It seemed to go down forever into the inky black abyss. Sammy found the sight almost...Comforting. He found himself staring into the darkness for a while, muttering something of a prayer under his breath ("Dei, quod reliquum est, nolite metuere, et ossa tua liberabit, expectans.") before slightly shuffling forward to the lip of the hatch in response to Theo's inquiry.

"I'll go down," Said he, still looking into the darkness, almost as though he were hoping to catch sight of some shapes, something familiar.

"...That is," And his demeanor seemed to get just the slightest touch meeker when his eyes caught a glance of the 'acolyte' he swore to follow, "If I am so permitted...?"

He wished to speak to those already proven blasphemous? A twinge of jealousy went through him, but he smothered it. Now, now. The lord, and his followers, always work in mysterious ways.

The Devil noticed Sammy and heard that he wanted permission to enter the hatch

"Go ahead and go down if you want I'm fine with it. Tell us what you find down there."

Jack hung onto the ledge on the opposite side, before using momentum to somersault upwards and enter a combat stance, facing Chucky.

"I'm a doll, you fucking idiot! My parts already pop off without you havin' to do much." Chucky replied, clearly not taking Jack's threat seriously.

When the Devil would approach him, Chucky's head would turn one hundred eighty degrees to face him and answer his quesstion.

"We knew that," Jack laughs.

Jack takes a leap and attempts to land a single foot on Chucky to pin him down. If successful, she would attempt to pull his head out and toss it towards a wall.

"We find this to be quite a bore without the use of knives, and you don't even bleed, so let us get this over and done with, shall we~?"

"Kid, Since the beginning of time people have trying to find ways to cause conflict and claim betterment. People who are different, the square pegs, the world wants to put them in round holes. It' really not that shocking is it? Man is and will always the cruelest animal."





Taking a seat against the wall, Bray once again seemed to be staring at Ethan, his eyes to Grell slightly before he chuckled to himself. Leaning in, he call to Ethan

"You're along way from home, aren't you? In more ways the one I guess? Yet, can't help but play the hero? May I ask where you were born?"

"Jesus... are all you people fucking morons?" Chucky muttered when some kid came up to him and asked him if he was looking for his mom. "No... I ain't looking for my mom, dumbass." The doll said with a sigh before looking her over. "Do you even know what a serial killer is?"

"Oh? And just where are you from?" Queen asked Trevor. Similar to Trever and Ethan, Makoto was a bit confused by some of the things their guests would talk about. But, unlike them, she wouldn't keep the questions only in her thoughts.

"A Conduit? What even is that?"
she asked Delsin before taking a seat on the ground beside Sherry. Looking around at the others, she could see that many of them were quite different from herself. A few of them even creeped her out, albeit not as much as the pale figure she had viewed in the mirror earlier. Thank god Joker was here; at least she could relate to him.

Delsin looked up at Bray, at the others who seemed to talk about stuff "I knew that..."
@Josh M

Delsin eyed Chucky again "I know what one is, but please explain."
@thatguyinthestore

Delsin explained to the group and Queen "A Conduit is people with powers and is a better word than Bio-terrorists which we get called all the time back home."
@Klutzy Ninja Kitty

Before Chucky could get his last chuckle in, Delsin unwrapped his chains off his arm and held it in a choking position near the laughing doll's neck.

"I have friends that are Conduits, Chuckles the clown. He's not laughing now.

After listening to where Trever would say he was from and conversations of the others, Makoto's hand touched her chin thoughtfully. Either everyone was lying, or they were all from different periods of time. "How very fascinating..." she said to herself, brownish-red eyes sparkling with intelligent curiosity. Their situation seemed to only grow more mysterious by the minute.

Anyhow, when the others would choose to explore the upstairs area, she would turn to Joker, figuring he would be interested in tailing along. "Shall we?" the girl offered before heading away with the others. She only hoped the rest of this manor wasn't as creepy as the store they had been inside.

Along the way, she replied back to Delsin. "So you have powers then? Like some kind of super hero?" she questioned. Then again, maybe she shouldn't loop the word 'super hero' in with a person with powers. Just because a person had powers, it didn't mean they were a hero--although she couldn't judge Delsin either way right now.

Annnnd, upstairs it wasn't starting off very good. A creepy hatch was exactly what she didn't need right now. "Yeah you go and tell us if it's safe," Queen said to Sammy, agreeing with the Devil (who she wouldn't look at because he also kind of creeped her out). She tried to keep her serious voice steady as a way to mask her slight anxiety about this. She couldn't keep panicking in front of the others.

She was also trying to ignore the others fighting with Chucky, cause it was starting to get annoying. : |

"A serial killer is somebody who kills... a lot of people without any remorse." Chucky explained, for once not sounding mean and talking genuinely civil to someone... albeit about murdering people.

hqdefault.jpg

"I'm a serial killer. I've killed hundreds of people without even blinking an eye and I ain't gonna be stopping anytime soon. No way, no how." With that, Chucky turned to Makoto and the hot topic reject.

"I dunno about you, but a name like 'Conduit' sounds like somethin' that people call themselves to compensate for their micro penis."
Chucky said with a smirk before looking up at Delsin, though he didn't say anything.

Varus | @Mansion
As Varus quickly followed the group into the building, he thought about how strange everything was. By now, he was expecting to encounter an inescapable fight, not a safe room. Perhaps the Noxians were not behind all of this after all. It seemed uncharacteristic of them to capture a handful of people and then put them in a mostly desolate city. It lacked brutality. Typically, those captured by Noxians were sent to the arena as gladiators or executed. He, along with everyone else, must have been captured by some other force.

Still, whoever was responsible for delaying his vengeance would surely pay.​

The Arrow of Retribution suddenly tensed up when he heard the doll define the phrase 'serial killer' and admit that he was one. Then, his eyebrows narrowed, his heartbeat quickened, and his hands turned into fists as he was consumed by uncontrollable hatred. Images of slaughtered innocent villagers filled his mind.

Charles Lee Ray was a ruthless murderer. Just like the Noxians.

"Bloodshed... carries a price," Varus declared with conviction before taking several steps toward Chucky and attempting to grab him by his collar. He would then try to rip his head off and throw his body, making sure that nobody was in the trajectory.

As Delsin got ready to choke the possessed doll serial killer, another man stepped up and did it for him.

"Look who's smirking now, chuckles the clown."

Delsin was happy Chucky got a taste of his own medicine.
@thatguyinthestore

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delsin cleared his throat "So yeah, Queen. I do have powers. They ... are different though."

And so the man stuck it out with the group on the upper floor and moved toward them sticking toward the people that seemed to be trustworthy so far.

"... Splendid. Just fucking fantastic."

Well. This was certainly new.

It was one thing when Grell had claimed to be from 1888, just five years off from the year Ethan claimed to be from, but then as the others around joined the fray and added in their two cents, it gradually became stranger and stranger. 2013? Sherry did look rather young for someone who carried herself so assertively. A girl with the face of a child, but the experience of a woman. It'd make sense if she were older than she looked to Ethan, if such medicine from her time had perhaps preserve her youth. Trevor, on the other hand, was quite a shock, at least, even moreso than Sherry. 1456? Wallachia, even?

"Fucking 1456... Right. I guess a fur coat like that would have certainly stuck out if you were walking around in London. I guess it figures to call it Wallachia then in that case... if not Romania," Ethan sighed, finding all this to be somewhat distressing, not having the same sensitivity about being someone from the perceived future as Theo. He could only hope that this was all some sort of elaborate joke, even if it would have been in poor taste. But as time continued to pass, the likelihood of that decreased more and more in the man's eyes. Was this just another dream? No, the mannequins firing at him... That was certainly real. He certainly couldn't dismiss that there was some greater force at work here, perhaps even beyond Dracula and maybe even Lucifer himself. Such a thought, Ethan didn't even want to entertain, but he had to be prepared for the worst case scenario at every turn, or else he'd end up in pieces.

Ethan winced lightly as Theo seemed to casually mention fighting werewolves, having an even stronger reaction to that than him mentioning he had run-ins with beings from the 1700s and... 50 years into Ethan's future, and on top of that, actually coming from another 70 years further. What the hell was even going on now?

tumblr_inline_o0vlp4yGUO1rxsf53_100.png


"Well, you know what they say about wolves... There's bound to be one in sheep's clothing among the herd. If the thing that's out to get us back at that over there door happens to be a werewolf, let's hope that we can put it down like a dog before it does the same to us," Ethan said to Theo, letting out another breath as he tiredly ran a hand through his hair. If there were any fucking vampires around though...

With that, continuing to follow the group, he let the others reach for the knife in the fireplace, figuring that others would probably need it before he would, before it suddenly burst into flames! He quickly moved to pull Grell back, even if she'd already been burned to some extent, taking her by the shoulders for a brief moment. Ethan gave a deep scowl toward Chucky as he threatened Grell wantonly, but before he could say anything himself, it appeared that the midget (or... doll, at this point?) was caught into an unsavory exchange with the unsettling girl calling herself Jack, among some of the other... flashier characters around.

While waiting for the others to go down the ladder first, Ethan took Grell's hands into his own, feeling for any wounds or notable burns. "You alright, Miss Sutcliff? Guess we really should be careful, no matter where we are in this godforsaken place," he spoke, attempting to maintain his composure. After all, if he were to lose that, he'd lose himself entirely, so he had to take care at all times.

"The devil certainly has his finger everywhere, huh..."

Chucky managed to jump out of the way just in time before Jack pinned him down, the doll rolling to the side.

"Man, you fuckers really don't like me, do ya?" Chucky commented with a bit of a smirk, not seeming to have learned his lesson after all the times someone had attacked him within the last hour.

"Interesting. Perhaps you'd be willing to show us what you can do after everyone gets their weapons and abilities back," Queen said to Delsin. Of course, she had her own powers, but she had thought them to be gone or only accessible to her while she was in the Metaverse. Yet, here she was in her Metaverse clothes. She had a feeling she might possibly see her own powers return later as well.

It was probably a good thing that their situation was so troublesome, for Ethan's sake. Had this all happened under normal circumstances, Grell would be completely losing her mind. The pull from danger, the grip on her shoulders, the holding of her hands...it was all so damn romantic. Unfortunately (or fortunately, really) Grell couldn't be as...enthusiastic about her situation like she normally would. After all, the spat with Chucky and the ensuing singeing of her hand had weathered her good spirits, and all this talk of what year it was for everyone only made it worse! For now, she would at least try to enjoy Ethan's company before the next dreadful thing came along.

"Why, yes, I'm fine, thank you. I'm just glad we kept that Funtom Company reject from the knife. You know he'd turn it on us in an instant." She sighed. "I can't entirely act like I was selfless, of course. To tell the truth, I was hoping to arm myself more than to stop him from arming himself. The freak who brought us here is just toying with us now, and I'm sick of it!" To lighten the mood (or possibly just out of habit), Grell smiled and said,

"...you're quite good with your hands, you know."

@Verite
 
tumblr_inline_o0vlu6tfQZ1rxsf53_100.png


"Hmph. Well, I didn't get hit, at the very least. So already better than the little lady over there," Ethan responded to Grell, gesturing briefly toward Sherry, "Still, I guess you could say we're all shaken up a bit. It's been a lil' while since I've been shot at, but it's nothin' I can't handle. The main problem is, whoever put us in this situation doesn't really wanna come down from wherever they are to say hi, it appears, so I guess we gotta go and give 'em our own sorta greeting ourselves," he said, suggesting that they find the devil behind the scenes and pay him back for whatever he plans on doing to them all.

Before long, however, Ethan's somewhat relaxed mien evaporated as Bray spoke, approaching them and allowing himself into the exchange, speaking words that the man took a small while to comprehend. Bray seemed intent on figuring something out, but Ethan was even more intent on making sure it stayed hidden.

tumblr_inline_o7aerzui3s1u7dmmj_100.png


"Hero? Evil? I don't give a shit about stuff like that. Not anymore. I just do whatever feels right, between tending to ladies or looking out for my own skin to make sure it isn't blown away from bullets," he said with a sigh, steadily growing more and more wary of Bray for every second the bigger man was in his presence. Still, he pursed his lips when asked where he was from, before hesitantly deciding to respond.

"... The States. Just like you, I reckon," Ethan answered curtly, having taken note of Bray's accent (or rather, lack thereof, perhaps). He decided not to clarify which state deliberately, wishing to keep his identity more vague if he could help it, at least in front of Bray. "The land of romanticized heroes, I suppose you could say."

@Josh M @Yun Lee

Brays eyes kept in lock step with the man, like predator watching his Prey. A smirk appeared as the man chuckled.

"Your right, it is bullshit. "

Another smile as Bray watched the group for awhile not saying a thing as the group talked about what eras they were from.

"Time. Time's the revelator, or so they say. Most people's lives are meaningless in the grandschame. I know the scheme, I rig the number. I see it all, but do all of you?"

"Are you asking to be dismembered, Chucky?"

@thatguyinthestore @Crow @Jeremi @Yun Lee @Takumi @Verite

"He's not asking, but he really deserves it," Sherry replied to the girl. The doll wasn't getting any new friends at this rate. Nor would anyone probably cry if or when he was gone.​

Theo Raeken

"When it comes to the supernatural, there is no time limit. I have dealt with a werewolf from the 1700s and another from World- 1942."
He caught himself before he said World war 2, if they eventually would have similar history, he didn't want to make a paradox where an entire war never happened. " As for when I am, it's 2017."

Theo ignored Penny's drink suggestion and followed the others silently and took a deep breath. "It might be easier if we took a vote on who wants to go down instead of throwing them down." Though the temptation to throw Chucky down was there, he renained calm as he made the suggestion.

@Takumi @Jeremi @Yun Lee @Verite @Kaykay @CrunchyCHEEZIT @thatguyinthestore @Crow @Sen @Darkseide @Upperfloor

"Or, I just go ahead and anyone who wants to follow can."
Even with her wound Sherry was ready to press onward into the mysterious house.​

The discussion of the year did pique Sammy's interest just a bit, though not enough to actually participate in discussion. Oh, what nonsense. All these people and their numbers. It was the 1930s, was that not so? ...Granted, he couldn't say precisely what year in the 1930s, but it was definitely still then. Or perhaps not, judging from his memories of posters hung in the cartoon studio urging one to buy bonds--But that'd be silly. Bonds meant there had to have been a second world war. Which...There hadn't been. He'd know that. Wouldn't he?

People didn't just leave people in the basements of cartoon studios to be consumed by ink and eventually turn to cults.

Right?

Either way, Sammy didn't comment.




Up the stairs, and then the doll found some sort of...Hatch. It seemed to go down forever into the inky black abyss. Sammy found the sight almost...Comforting. He found himself staring into the darkness for a while, muttering something of a prayer under his breath ("Dei, quod reliquum est, nolite metuere, et ossa tua liberabit, expectans.") before slightly shuffling forward to the lip of the hatch in response to Theo's inquiry.

"I'll go down," Said he, still looking into the darkness, almost as though he were hoping to catch sight of some shapes, something familiar.


"...That is," And his demeanor seemed to get just the slightest touch meeker when his eyes caught a glance of the 'acolyte' he swore to follow, "If I am so permitted...?"

He wished to speak to those already proven blasphemous? A twinge of jealousy went through him, but he smothered it. Now, now. The lord, and his followers, always work in mysterious ways.

[ @LuckycoolHawk9 @Jeremi @ThatAverageGuy @thatguyinthestore @And the rest

@UPPER FLOOR --> HATCH ]​

"Be-" Sherry had a double take when Sammy came her way, but despite how he looked he hadn't done anything warranting suspicion...yet. "Be my guest. I'll take point anyone else who wants to follow just come after us."

With that Sherry started her descent. If Sammy followed after the darkness hit him straight on not even managing to see a few inches in front of himself. As they climb down, Sammy suddenly heard a scream from Sherry. Sounded like she had fallen. Taking a few more steps he'd realize that one of the ladders steps had broken sending Sherry falling right into the abyss.

He did however hear a soft groan that indicated that she had fallen to the bottom and at least for the time being was alive. Soon enough even Sammy reached the bottom. The darkness enveloped him and he could still not see anything but he could feel something knocking against his feet as he tried to walk around. Maybe if he felt around he could maybe find a light switch? As he pondered that he'd hear Sherry get up. "I-I'm okay!" She shouted up to the others. "Try to see if you could find something that would give us some light down here!"

"Interesting. Perhaps you'd be willing to show us what you can do after everyone gets their weapons and abilities back," Queen said to Delsin. Of course, she had her own powers, but she had thought them to be gone or only accessible to her while she was in the Metaverse. Yet, here she was in her Metaverse clothes. She had a feeling she might possibly see her own powers return later as well.

"Maybe if you weren't so rude to everyone than they'd get along with you better," the teen remarked to Chucky, letting out a sigh.

"Oh, I wasn't complaining." Chucky replied with a smirk. "I'm a doll possessed by a serial killer. The only people I need are me, myself, and I."

"Don't forget someone to open the door for you," Joker cracked with a smile, seemingly not taking the doll's words seriously. However, given his and Queen's past enemies, and how they were forced to fight them... he wouldn't say tha the doll wasn't telling the truth. It certainly had the acidic personality of a killer, and if it wasn't for the horrific scars on its face, it could certainly pass for an innocent toy...

Danger in plain sight, where no one would expect harm to come from. Almost as deceptive as Madarame, and far more dangerous if it were to find a weapon.

"He's not asking, but he really deserves it," Sherry replied to the girl. The doll wasn't getting any new friends at this rate. Nor would anyone probably cry if or when he was gone.​



"Or, I just go ahead and anyone who wants to follow can."
Even with her wound Sherry was ready to press onward into the mysterious house.​



"Be-" Sherry had a double take when Sammy came her way, but despite how he looked he hadn't done anything warranting suspicion...yet. "Be my guest. I'll take point anyone else who wants to follow just come after us."

With that Sherry started her descent. If Sammy followed after the darkness hit him straight on not even managing to see a few inches in front of himself. As they climb down, Sammy suddenly heard a scream from Sherry. Sounded like she had fallen. Taking a few more steps he'd realize that one of the ladders steps had broken sending Sherry falling right into the abyss.

He did however hear a soft groan that indicated that she had fallen to the bottom and at least for the time being was alive. Soon enough even Sammy reached the bottom. The darkness enveloped him and he could still not see anything but he could feel something knocking against his feet as he tried to walk around. Maybe if he felt around he could maybe find a light switch? As he pondered that he'd hear Sherry get up. "I-I'm okay!" She shouted up to the others. "Try to see if you could find something that would give us some light down here!"

Even if Seishin possessed the ability to see in the dark, he doubted that would help much. He didn't even know if he could fully count on himself fpr a simple task as that.

"If there isn't anything in here, there could be something in that room to our left." Seishin spoke up to the group as he glanced down into the dark abyss below them momentarily, trying to see if he could at least make out Sherry's form for a second.
