Promoting Death Positivity

Page 1 of 14 1 2 3 4 5 11 ... Last

    Business in Solomon's Green has been concluded for today - that is, Sleeper business. Since the Path had grown to three members, Sacramento's Moros decided to take a look around the Councilor-owned graveyard.

    One thing that had piqued their interest: some of the graves are older than the city of Sacramento. Nothing special in itself, since it isn't unheard of for smaller communities or towns being swallowed up by the founding of a city, but even the chance of finding something interesting or insightful was too good to pass up for curious Mages.

    And what was more worrisome? There was no ghost activity whatsoever since Eulogy had bought the lot. For the longest time he might have convinced himself that his burial services were just too clean, too good to leave unfinished business behind, but no ghost on a century old graveyard?
    Might as well kill two birds with one stone. Plus, tentative peeks into Twilight around the chapel, where the oldest graves laid, had shown a derelict area heavy with exhaustion. Maybe some in-depth scrutiny was needed.

    Maybe this was the perfect opportunity for a Moros team-building exercise. Under the covers of early evening they gathered at the empty graveyard.

    Corn arrives dressed in somber colors of decent quality - he was visiting Mordenchai after all - appropriate for the weather: Black trousers, gray shirt, jacket. Having shoot Eulogy a message earlier, he steps out of the car with a backpack on his back and looks for the councilor.

    Shadows grow deeper or seem to reach out, and objects look decayed or rotted. With powerful magic might result in ghostly faces appearing in reflective surfaces, watching those around the mage with stern or angry expressions, the mage might even hear whispers.

    Zeromancer arrived with duffle bag in hand. Visiting this place again seemed to pique his interests as it not common to walk onto a piece of land that has such old ties. He was wearing his hooded trench coat, with black t-shirt and dark blue jeans, as well as his black doc martins combat boots. Looking around he had yet to see Eulogy or Corn .

    The sound of chattering teeth accompanies a scent of chemical sanitizer and fresh earth when Eulogy makes his will manifest.

    During Vulgar will working the sound of teeth becomes a overpowering rattle of bone on bone. The scent turns putrid as that of decaying flesh, The clean scent of sanitizer becomes a fetid miasma of gaseous stench.

    Eulogy came out of the office. He noticed the arrival of the other two mages. He approached with a wide smile, beaming with happy vibes. "Thank you both for coming." he said. He glanced around the graveyard noting the various statues and grave markers. Focusing in on the work he had left to do. But that could wait. Tonight was to address a different matter. "My friends. Something has me feeling uneasy. I can't quite put my finger on it but it is a palpable feeling. I am hoping it's all in my mind and you to can help put me at ease. Either way. Thank you.

    As Zeromancer approached, he felt relief at Eulogy stating his feelings. He had felt a spine chill when he stepped on the grounds, and though he did feel excitement for what the night laid ahead, he could not shake the feeling something was off. Zeromancer then said "Thankfully it is not just me, I do not scare easily but I have to say that there is definitely something in the air. Didn't help that I felt as though someone stepped on my grave as soon as I walked onto the grounds."

    Corn nods to both fellow moros.
    "Greetings to both of you gentlemen. Zero, is this... your professional ghost-hunting equipment? Why the two cameras, if I may ask? I am impressed!" he said to Zeromancer . To Eulogy , he said "Greetings councilor, we're here to help. Both of you be aware that I am dead bottom when it comes to the Death arcanum. Mordenchai, are we safe to use High Speech in the grounds at this time? Do you give us permission to use spells?"

    "Greetings Corn " Zeromancer responded, "Yes this is my ghost hunting equipment, I used it before my awakening, and have since found it useful to supplement my acquired talents." Zeromancer lifted the Kirlian Camera "This is a Kirlian Camera, it is used to discover energy around objects, or as such can help us find manifested entities or ghosts. The other camera is what I used to document my hunts, it helps to have a digital recording."

    @Aeolus I need some extra equipment added that I could have in my bag. Is there any way I can add a digital audio recorder, a Kevlar Vest, and a tripod for my camera? They can be in my dufflebag.

    Equipment can only be used once 'bought' in a character sheet and usually only before scenes start. You can have the tripod right now, the other two things I'd say are after the scene has begun and therefore not up in this scene. Sorry.

    I was unaware of how it worked, thank you for the clarification and the extra equipment.
