 		I think all future responses to ghost encounters should be to wet yourself. Maybe the humor of it will delight the PM so much they will have pity and give you an out. That, or they will let you die covered in your own urine. Either way, good stuff... Razz

 		My email for the day:

Quote:
You take the armor and put it on, finding that it looks fantastic; this armor must have been designed specifically for you. In addition to that, you have the sense that it has granted you a special power, though you don't know what that is yet.
Suddenly, a spirit appears in the middle of the room! It is transparent, and its image is almost vibrating, making it very difficult for you to see exactly what it looks like. But there are a few things you can discern: it is a man, he is wearing a flannel shirt, and he has a southern accent when he speaks.
"Hey! Don't we know each other?" The ghost zooms in closer and eyes you up and down. Then he flies back to the middle of the room and continues to speak. "I am stuck here in this town! Can you save me? It's gonna be pretty hard and you're gonna have to make some pretty hard decisions along the way. But first, you're gonna have to show that you know my name. Do you have access to the Internet? I ain't got it here. The only resident of Transition Village who gets to use the Internet is The Governor. He lives in that mansion beyond the graveyard. If he finds out there is someone in this town who knows me, then he may let some of you save me. There was never a proper funeral for me, you know. Could you create something in my memory that The Governor may see online by tomorrow? A blog, a video, anything?"
A terrifying laugh from somewhere else echoes across Transition Village. The spirit turns in fear and begins to vanish.
"This will count as your next move, so it's your choice, but I'm depending on you!"
He is gone. You are alone again.
In the distance, another booming laugh echoes throughout the town.
What do you choose to do next?


So I am supposed to know this ghost's name? Maybe it is just me, but does my ghost sound like Earl from MOTP to anyone else? I am all down with making something to honor his memory, but I should probably make sure I am after the right person. What do you all think?

Oh yeah, the email says I look fantastic in my armor. Sweet!

 		I'm in. I was too lazy to post before, but I think I may need some help.

Quote:
You are in a clean room, standing on a red rug. In front of you is a nice door. To your left is an old, leather chair. To your right is a kitchen table large enough for four, with two sturdy chairs at either end. On the right wall are a sink and one cabinet. On the back wall are a gas oven and two artistic pictures. On the left wall are a queen-sized bed, a nightstand with a burnt-out candle, and a wooden dresser.
You notice that the nice door is covered in numbers.

Quote:
ME:I would like to open the cabinet on the right near the sink and see what's inside.

Quote:
You are behind by one day, and therefore you may make one additional move today.
You walk over to the sink and open the nicely painted cabinet. It smells of disinfectant. Inside are a life bead and a first aid kit. You may take only one item per turn.

Quote:
ME:I would like to take the life bead. Is there an extended description for this item or does that require a separate turn?

Quote:
The life bead is bright white and as small as your palm. When you touch it, it hums and buzzes slightly. You put it in your pocket, though you have no idea what it does.
Suddenly, a spirit appears behind you in the center of the room! You spin around to see a woman standing there. She is blonde and tall, and very beautiful, though the details of her transparent image are difficult to make out. She holds a reporter's notebook in one hand and begins to speak in a soft voice.
"Hello. I don't believe we know each other. Do we?" The ghost drifts in closer and gently eyes you up and down. Then she moves back to the middle of the room and continues to speak. "I was unjustly killed, and now I am trapped in Transition Village. Can you save me? It will be difficult, and you will need to make some tough decisions along the way. But first, you must to show that you know my name. Do you have access to the Internet? I do not. The only resident of Transition Village who can to use the Internet is The Governor. He lives in the tall mansion beyond the graveyard. If he learns that there are some in this town who know me, then he may let me escape. Could you create something in my memory that The Governor may see online by tomorrow? Anything will work, as long as he sees it. A blog, a video, etc. Oh, I hope you can…"
A terrifying laugh from somewhere else echoes across Transition Village. The spirit turns in fear and begins to vanish.
"This will count as your next move, so it's your choice, but I'm depending on you!"
She is gone. You are alone again.
In the distance, another booming laugh echoes throughout the town.
What do you choose to do next?


Ideas?

So I was right! Everyone encountering ghosts has to do something online! My guess would be to do whatever (video, blog, etc) and send the link in your next turn.

Hey, it works! The village seems like a pretty forgiving place. Now how fast can you crank out a horse website...?

 		So I am up to my old tricks again in the visual arts department. I do hope the Governor accepts this as suitable. Once again proving I cannot take things seriously very often.

I still don't even know if this is who I should be making a flyer for, but he fits the profile of my ghost. He's a man, he has a flannel shirt and southern accent (or he did in the old MOTP videos). Hopefully this works as I am about to send it off to the Governor.
