Session 9
Here is the outline for the ninth session of Chuck's SGAA Changeling game, which was inspired by the movie Session 9 in part.
Session 9
As the ninth session of the SGAA Changeling game began, Bellasandra was no where to be found after Juan gave her a victory over him at Homecoming. No one cared too much except for Tony, seeing how the rest of the Changelings assumed she would come out from her den eventually.
Then a kid from Mindy's daycare disappeared, which was on the local news with various searching going on. This drew some concern in regards to a reaction from Mindy.
The full start of the session begins with Mindy going missing, which got the SGAA's complete attention. Juan went to gather video proof at the local Dairy Queen as an alibi, while the rest of the group searched and brainstormed on possible causes for Mindy's and the kid's disappearance.
The group visited Mindy's home, and found that her parents have not heard from her since the previous day. This was complicated by the fact that Mindy had no cell phone. A similar visit to the daycare also gave them no clues.
From a group brainstorming session, three supernatural options were given to the cause of her disappearance. The first was a run down mental institution that was closed down in the late forties. The second was a ghost biker that biked at night abducting people from an apparent track of road that a friend of a friend's brother's friend's kid's father's son's mother heard about. Then there was the witch who supposedly kidnapped kids to make tasty treats out of.
Option three was the first choice explored, with Juan deciding it was time for another Fiona strip-o-gram, much to the chagrin and delight of the group. The Unseelies were called in to help with the search, as well as watch the spectacle that is Juan.
Dressed as a cowboy, Juan went to the might-be-witch's door and knocked. After she opened the door, his dance began exciting her surprised blood. Everyone else watched from the bushes while trying to suppress laughter, with Anastasia recording it on her camcorder. As Juan distracted the old lady with his moves, Chastity went inside to check for cooked Mindy. Memphis then decided to invoke the Gift of Pan, which caused the lady to really want to shag the hell, and probably a few other realms, out of Juan.
Juan tried to run, but the lady stalked her newly desired man-meat and jumped him. After a few moments Memphis stopped, and a fearful Juan managed to get away from a confused and apologetic lady. As the old lady walked back, Chastity brought a cooking pan to the group. It turned out to only be strawberry jam. The witch was scratched off the list, and the video was uploaded to the net.
After the strip-o-gram, the SGAA, plus Tony and Anastasia, made their way to the old abandon Sanitarium. When it was getting dark. They parked outside the gate, and no forced entry was noticeable. As they made their way to the front door, Anastasia fell down a hole in the ground. Lord Darkshire went after her, with a rope tied to him. After a few moments the rope went loose and neither returned to the surface.
Much debate went between the group, with some favoring caution while others favored getting to the basement to see if the two were alright. This continued as the group made their way into the building. It was evident that the building was unusually dark inside, as if it ate any light source that tried to illuminate it. Most of the group went back outside to devise some method of illumination, since so little thought was put into acquiring flashlights before hand.
Juan immediately charged down the hall with Chastity in his usual manner. After a brief second to decide, Rook charged after him, telling Sam to go back to the rest of the group. Unbeknownst at the time, she would not make it outside.
Juan, Chastity, and Rook began with the intention to explore each floor one by one until they hit the basement. The main floor played few tricks on them, but the real fun started as they descended. The first basement floor lit up and looked as it did when the place was still in operation. Then Bellasandra dressed as a nurse grabbed Juan and threw him into a patient room and locked the door while his libido was distracted. She attempted the same thing to Rook, but she disappeared when he picked her up and the floor turned back to it's dark and current day form. After using a special Troll "lock-picking" technique to free Juan, the small group decided to move on to the next floor.
The second basement floor held more of the same. Again, the floor lit up and looked like the hospital would before the closing. As they explored, Mindy attacked, causing some harm to Rook. As he knocked her out in a non-lethal manner, she disappeared and the room also reverted back to normal. Being the meat shield would be the norm for Rook this session.
The third basement floor had an unexpected twist. Sam made her appearance in a doctor's outfit as the room did its illumination thing looking like it did when it was running, yet again. With Rook caught off guard, Sam got in a few good slices on him. Juan used his staple of aphrodisia to make her go into the corner because it was safe. After grabbing her and asking what was wrong, she disappeared in Rook's grasp, and the room returned to normal.
Meanwhile, the second group explored the main floor in more depth. Records were found detailing a decline in stability with the patients and doctors before the place was shut down, though because of the damage from the elements, not much else was reliably found. They then slowly made their way down the stairs by passing the floors in between. They were going all the way to the bottom to find Anastasia and Lord Darkshire.
After arriving at the last basement floor, they saw Anastasia screaming as Lord Darkshire was pushing her into a sphere-like device. Everything lit up as it was in the forties, which got some notice, but everyone rushed to free her.
Getting to the sphere after a brief conflict and disappearance with Darkshire, Anastasia was gone. Much time by Raz was spent analyzing this conundrum. As he did, the room returned to normal, though he did feel a strange dark dreaming thing was at work in the building. After the group was finished, they went up one floor.
As group two opened the door to basement floor three, they encountered Juan, Chastity and pissed off Rook whose sword was drawn. After a brief stand off, it was decided that neither side was an illusion. After exchanging information about various happenings and people that seemed to be captured, the reformed group decided to head for the top floor to try finding a solution there.
At the top floor, the group encountered a kid sitting in a chair, with the missing friends standing in front of him like puppets. Unfortunately instead of being a mere puppet, a Lost One was using the kid as a host. Much discussion went back and forth, with a clueless group trying to figure out how to deal with such a foe. Raz even succumbed to the presence, dropping one of his glamoreader cartridges as he stood in line with the taken. Seeing this, a normally passed out Flutterfleet got embroiled in an an epic Ace Attorney like argument with the Lost One. Treaties, laws and traditions were flung back and forth between the two debaters.
Though it was epic on both accounts, Flutterfleet was unable to sway the lost kid. Realizing how susceptible the Lost One might be to banality, Rook grabbed Raz's fallen cart and tossed it to the possessed kid. Upon contact the Lost One winced in pain, screamed like Kelcey, and combat began.
Rook lunged for the cart again as Anastasia lifted to Lost child up in the air from the group. Taken Changeling versus the uncontrolled occurred, with the ones in control not trying to harm the others. With the last of his glamour, Rook hopscotched himself to the kid and forced the cart to make skin contact, holding it there until the Lost One retreated.
Afterwards, Rook threw the cart back to the top floor, and prepared to make contact with the ground below, trying to shield from any harm from impact as possible. Luckily a newly free Lord Darkshire used ensnare to grab the two and pull them safely into the wall of the building. Meanwhile, Memphis was in the rafters and found a particular stone that got him possessed by the Lost One.
While everyone was regrouping and getting their bearings, the Lost one as Memphis jumped down. He was quickly dealt with by Raz, who bunched the Lost one into a ball. Unfortunately he could not turn it into an item or hold it for long because of the Lost One being really powerful. So Memphis grabbed the cart and shoved it into the ball, destroying the cart, undoing the Lost One, and taking a permanent point of banality. Only Juan and Raz would realize that Miss Gertrude's panties had saved the day.
With the threat gone, everyone made their ways back to the cars so they could go home. Mindy was given the task of returning the kid. Memphis and Raz realized that they had a stone that could create a freehold. Privately they included Lord Darkshire and Rook on the freehold discussion, which they asked Rook if he could talk to his grandfather about it.
The following morning, Rook talked to Gramps about the encounter and the rock, which Gramps seemed to be impressed with. As for getting in on the freehold, Gramps adamantly said he was retired. After some more talk, Gramps told Rook that they should probably talk to John Smith. Rook then went to school to relay the info to Raz and Memphis.
Raz's and Memphis's original plan was to tell everyone at once so no one would have time to take advantage of the situation. However John Smith made an appearance to talk to Raz and Memphis, pointing out that the thought of the plan proved that they were not ready. The two agreed, deciding to sit on the stone, but not tell Juan or anyone else for now.
