"Oh, another one."


RE: Murderverse Falls - Cutegirl920fire - 10-10-2023

Bunyan and Babe happily guzzle down their pancakes and left the restaurant. The duo head on over to the history museum. There, they find Victoria looking at the missing person's list.

"Bonjour, mademoiselle, what are you reading?"


RE: Murderverse Falls - Zanreo - 10-10-2023

Then, Neptune looks around the town, and decides to >head to the museum


RE: Murderverse Falls - NebulaChimera2211 - 10-10-2023

> Tag along to the museum (if I'm not there already).
Adrianna greets the newcomer:
Here comes a newww challenger! How ya doing?


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-10-2023

(You don't need to preface going places with a >, just say you're going to a particular place ; Moving is a free action and doesn't need to be rolled)

Neptune and Adrianna head to the museum.

Grunkle Ed is at the front desk of the museum, instead of the check-in for the cabins, at the moment. He turns to Neptune. You're the one who wanted that cabin immediately, aren't you? New guest? Just had a young lady check out earlier. Didn't say much. Think she had a baseball tournament to get to, though. If that's right, I'll get you some keys and have Booker or Mavis show you which cabin is yours. Enjoy the museum, of course. And the gift shop!


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-10-2023

...That other kid had to go, too. The more unusual one. His... her?... mother came to pick. him up. Her up? Them up? Anyway.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Oggy123 - 10-10-2023

Suddenly, one can see something flying in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it's a pink puffball-shaped creature riding a star-shaped object, flying at a fast pace. It then crash-lands into the ground. The creature then stood up.

"Ow... Where am i?" asked the creature.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Oggy123 - 10-10-2023

> Look around.


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-10-2023

> Look around. (Kirby)

Kirby sees a campground on a river. There are mountains in the distance. There are a few people over at the local history museum that also appears to be on the grounds of the campsite.

"Yeah, that's me! And thanks! I'll just look around for now..."

>anything of note in the museum?


RE: Murderverse Falls - Oggy123 - 10-10-2023

The creature, Kirby, runs towards the museum.

> Explore the museum.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Kennifer - 10-10-2023

>anything of note in the museum? (Neptune)

Oops, you've gotten a bit distracted looking through the gift shop before making it to the main museum...

> Explore the museum. (Kirby)

You see the rather-obviously-fake displays of alleged "oddities" and some general natural history stuff such as (real) fossils and skeletons, as well as the information about a hiking group that vanished 15 years ago, as well as the other groups every 15 years before. You don't recognize the names or anything but something tells you this might be important.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Zanreo - 10-10-2023

"Wooow, they got some weird stuff here! This is pretty cool though..."

> anything catch your eye in the gift shop?


RE: Murderverse Falls - Kennifer - 10-10-2023

> anything catch your eye in the gift shop? (Neptune)

In addition to the usual fare like postcards, magnets, t-shirts, shot glasses etc. with the museum's name and some general pictures on them you find some folklore books with local legends... none pertaining to the anomaly though they're just general lore from the Pacific Northwest. Still pretty cool though.


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-10-2023

[Ed gets both Neptune and Kirby set up in their cabins; Neptune in the cabin Mindy vacated, and Kirby in Gooble's cabin]


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-11-2023

CHALLENGE TIME! ...We hope you're not bored of animal challenges. But don't worry, this one has a twist. You have 72 hours from this post for a response. As usual, entry with the most points will win immunity.

Alien Cat Challenge:

A stray cat has been transformed into a cat with alien powers. Oops. It can levitate and use telekinesis, and camouflage itself like a chameleon. And... it's heading away with Ed's guestbook. That's years of guests writing little letters and signing their names. Uh oh. We need your help. Oh, and be careful. This cat could be important, and just... in general not a good thing to hurt animals. Don't hurt it.

First, just locate the cat. It's... kinda disappeared.
Contain the cat. Remember the levitation and telekinesis!
Get the guest book away from the cat safely. It's kinda defensive and guarding it.


RE: Murderverse Falls - awe921 - 10-11-2023

Catar sighs. Here she was, hoping for a vacation.

Cat Catching 101
1. Hopefully that's easy enough. The guestbook has been around for years, has it not...? It must be falling apart even just a little bit- there must be some traces left behind by the guestbook that she can try and locate, and follow by flying- or at the very least, narrow down where the cat could be. Maybe she can locate the cat itself if she's lucky.

2. Right. This will be a bit of a struggle.

Is the cat outdoors? If so, then well, time for Some More Shopping. Wow, what a vacation, doing the same thing she's been mandated by her brother to get away from.

She sees if she can buy herself some rope, and a basket with big enough holes for her tail to poke through, alongside being a little bit on the comically large side. After some struggling, she manages to tie a rope to the bottom of the basket and tie the rest of the rope to herself.

She then takes off to the skies, the basket following her as it is tied to the rope. She flies up and above the cat, and starts looowering herself til the basket has fully covered the cat.

If they're indoors, well shoot. You're pretty sure you can figure *something* out with the basket and rope you bought. Maybe put in some cat food and prop the basket up with a stick, like one of those cartoon traps.

... maybe Catar should have thought of that before tying the rope to herself. Hell, maybe even put in some food in the basket. Or catnip. She's not an animals person. She's a reptile. And a person.

While Catar is at the shop, she makes to buy herself a laser pointer.

3. So much for a vacation with even a modicum of dignity.

As she approaches the now totally imprisoned cat, she grabs the laser pointer with her mouth and turns it on, shaking it around to grab the cat's attention. All the while, her tail tries to sneak through the holes in the basket and snatch the book from the cat while its distracted. She looks utterly ridiculous while doing so.




RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-11-2023

Catar has rolled a 10 on the first task, a 3+2 for flying ability on the second task, and a 2 on the third task, for a total of 17 points

Following the cat by discarded remnants of crumbling paper from the guestbook actually works pretty well. They're like breadcrumbs.

Flying to trap the cat from an unconventional angle is certainly a strategy. It's not an easy one, and the cat sees Catar coming most of the time, but eventually she surprises the cat.

...The laser pointer isn't distracting the cat well enough at all, though. It's just agitated enough that the guestbook is almost shredded by the time Catar gets what she can from the cat.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Oggy123 - 10-11-2023

"Oh!"

Kirby's Cat-Astrophe
  • Kirby will find some things cats like to eat, like fish or perhaps cat food. Then, Kirby could bring it along, using the food to lure the cat out, and search for the cat throughout the area. If he needs to, he can use his Warp Star to fly around and better locate the cat.
  • Kirby can get something cats like to eat, like fish, and then get a lighter. Then, Kirby can inhale the lighter and become Fire Kirby, and use his new power to cook the fish. He then would put the food in an area where the cat can easily locate it, and use the aroma to lure the cat into approaching. Then Kirby will ambush the cat and use an old sack to capture it!
  • Kirby could get some cat food, or a yarn ball, then give it to the cat to distract it. The Kirby could just carry the book away, slowly.




RE: Murderverse Falls - NebulaChimera2211 - 10-11-2023

Fear not! I shall make sure this doesn't end in cat-astrophe!

Adrianna's Second Meowsadventure
1. First, just locate the cat. It's... kinda disappeared.
Adrianna instead decides to let it come to her.
She leaves out some tasty treat for the cat to munch on, making the assumption that gaining superpowers didn't have the side effect of changing the cat's diet. While waiting, she prepares for part 2, as described below, then turns her back on her bait and waits for the sound of munching.
2. Contain the cat. Remember the levitation and telekinesis!
She looks for a cardboard box, emptying it if it isn't already empty, then waits for it to inevitably get itself settled inside.
An all-time classic.
3. Get the guest book away from the cat safely. It's kinda defensive and guarding it.
She offers to pet, stroke and cuddle the cat into submission. Then she tries plucking the book away carefully as it yawns.




RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-11-2023

Kirby rolls an 8+1 on the first task for flying ability, 3+1 on the second for copy ability, and a 2 on the third task, giving a final score of 15

The cat is interested in eating, and Kirby's flying does give him the ability to show the food to the cat in more places, luring it out. Cooking or heating up the food does give the aroma more reach. The only problem is that once the cat is lured out, it's still not so easy to see or catch! ...Kirby does eventually, but it's a lot of effort.

Finally, the cat doesn't seem so easy to distract. The cat has already sneakily taken bits of the food while luring it out, so it's not so hungry. The book ends up with claw and teeth marks all over.


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-11-2023

Adrianna rolls a 7 on the first task, a 5 on the second, and a 10 on the third, giving a final score of 22

A cat's gotta eat, and with eating comes the sound of munching. Clever.

Does kitty fit and sit? It does! Well, eventually, anyway. Gotta have a lot of patience.

Adrianna is a master at kitty petting, though! She gets it so relaxed it gives up the book fairly easily. So many purrbees.


RE: Murderverse Falls - Zanreo - 10-12-2023

1. "Alright, operation "find the kitty" is a go! Now... if I was a cat, where would I hide?" Neptune looks around for any traces of cats nearby - pawprints, cat fur, scratch marks, anything of the sort. And before she goes out on her cat search, she picks up...
2. ...a bag of cat treats. After eventually finding the cat, she slowly gets closer to it while rustling the bag. "Here, kitty... pspspspsps... you want some snacks?" she says softly, pouring some treats out all over the place - on a nearby flat rock, the ground, and even climbing a tree to leave some up there. If needed, she'll eventually turn into Purple Heart to fly up towards the cat and grab it from above!
3. She then starts petting and cuddling it (as she descends if applicable), trying to make it calm down, also feeding it some remaining snacks if it seems interested. When it lets its guard down enough, she grabs the book!


RE: Murderverse Falls - PointMaid - 10-12-2023

Neptune rolls a 5+1 on the first task for deternination, an 8+2 on the second task for flying ability, and a 7 on the third task. This gives her 23 points.

Neptune is a decent tracker, and the passive signs of kitty's passing do lead her to the cat. Eventually. The cat has wandered all over the place.

The cat treats and ability to corner the cat from the air do allow her to catch the cat pretty easily, once she has an idea where it is. The pspspspsps can't have hurt, either.

Neptune also seems like a good cat whisperer. Her petting and cuddles are enough to calm the kitty down enough to grab the book before it gets shredded. :3


RE: Murderverse Falls - Kennifer - 10-12-2023

Meanwhile, Mavis can be seen squealing in delight over the cute kitty.
