  1. 2:21:54 PM <Nick> You and your friends have been waiting a long time for the first snowfall of the year. Now, it's early december and the mountains are painted white. You all got bundled up and took the car out to the nearest ski hill, bought your tickets, and now you're riding the long lift up. Your friend Jan is on the ski lift with you, and you've been talking about various things, but the chatter has died down and there's a lull in the conversation.
  2. 2:22:55 PM <Nick> ((In your post include your name and a few subjects that the conversation might have covered)) ||
  3. 2:23:23 PM <-> Teruzi is now known as Teruzi|Lucy
  4. 2:24:10 PM <-> You are now known as Nick|GM
  5. 2:24:28 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Lucy has been babbling about college and stuff. How this might be one of the last few times she and her friends get to actually feel alive! This are her golden years! Too bad she's spent most of it in a haze. Half of the trip has been spent talking about her tattoos, while the other half has been spent reminiscing and moaning.
  6. 2:24:41 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She's eager to ski already.
  7. 2:24:42 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> ||
  8. 2:28:12 PM <Nick|GM> Some of that haze seems to return as the snow covered mountain passes under the chair. It's a boring ride, and long. She can see the chair ahead of you swing back and forth. Her other friends must be messing around. Some of the closer trees the lift passes have strings of beads on them, hanging from branches where skiers have thrown them over the years. A man zigzags back and forth through the moguls below. Lucy's friends' chair reaches the top, and the two of them slide off. Now Lucy and Jan's chair reaches the top too. ||
  9. 2:30:40 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Don't fall like the last time." Lucy says, pleased that the ride was over. Sharing space with Jan had been awkward ever since she got fucked up and admitted a slight crush on Lucy. Her innocence died a little that day.
  10. 2:30:58 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> ||
  11. 2:34:12 PM <Nick|GM> "I won't," Jan replies in a playful tone. She hides her resentment well, if she has any. They meet up with the other two, Matt and Erin, at the top of the hill. The winding path down the hill stretches out before them, and they can see the lodge at the bottom, vanishingly small at this distance.
  12. 2:34:12 PM <Nick|GM> "You ready?" asks Matt.
  13. 2:34:12 PM <Nick|GM> "Can we race, just for this first run?" asks Jan. ||
  14. 2:38:00 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Oh yeah. Fuck yeah." Lucy says, already adjusting her googles. Lucy looks down the tracks for a moment before speaking again. "Say, I saw a pretty scare man while we were going up." She starts to say in a serious tone.
  15. 2:38:25 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Looked like a madman." She continues, with a straight face. "Make sure you're not kidnapped, or something."
  16. 2:38:38 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She gives a sweet smile to the other three.||
  17. 2:39:09 PM <Nick|GM> ((what's your goal here? Actually scare them, or making them laugh?))
  18. 2:39:34 PM <-- TheJ ([email protected]) has left #Other ("Leaving")

  23. 2:46:53 PM <Nick|GM> "Whoa, really? Where?" Jan asks, quickly looking around. "I didn't see anyone." She seems to believe Lucy entirely.
  24. 2:46:53 PM <Nick|GM> "Nah, why would a madman be on a ski slope?" replies Erin.
  25. 2:46:53 PM <Nick|GM> "I dunno, middle of the woods, far from any real police force? I think we should keep an eye out," Matt says, before subtly winking at Lucy.
  26. 2:46:53 PM <Nick|GM> ||
  27. 2:48:25 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Oh yes. Specially with three beautiful girls like us. And Matt I guess." Lucy says as she subtly gets closer to the slope.||
  28. 2:50:22 PM <Nick|GM> Erin laughs. "Well, if one of you gets caught by the madman, I guess it improves the rest of our chances to win the race."
  29. 2:50:22 PM <Nick|GM> Jan doesn't have the same light attitude, though, when she replys, "I guess." ||
  30. 2:51:58 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Okay, well. See you at the bottom!" Lucy cheerily says before taking off.||
  31. 2:55:55 PM <Nick|GM> "Oh you little..." says Erin, as she follows closely, the rest of the group behind. The hill is full of moguls and split paths. It's one of the hardest runs on the slope, and it's been changed since last year, so a lot is unfamiliar. There isn't one clear way to get to the bottom fastest, and with all the horizontal routes to other runs and trees obscuring parts of the path, Lucy loses sight of her friends. Hopefully that means she's in the lead. A snowboarder takes a jump a little down the hill, trying and failing to land his flip. ||
  32. 2:58:01 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Bahaha. Idiot. Lucy almost considers checking if he survived, but Erin probably had it. She was remarkably slow. The true menace was Matt, who was as devious a she was diabolic. Or something. He was just a really sneaky fuck at time. Lucy continues to go down the slope at a controlled speed. Wouldn't want to tall on her as like that guy.||

  36. 3:03:47 PM <Nick|GM> Lucy manages to stay upright, but she has to slow down considerably weaving between a set of tricky moguls. Just ahead, there seems to be a new shortcut or some sort of alternative path that hadn't been there last year, leading downhill at a steeper angle through the trees. No one else is on that path, so she wouldn't have to dodge the slow 13 year olds who thought they could handle a double black diamond. It's risky, but with risk might come reward. ||
  37. 3:06:06 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She's all about risky behavior. Besides, those fucking pubescent assholes moved at the speed of a three-legged turtle. It was maddening. It's not even a choice for Lucy a she heads down the steeper path. Stupid kid ruining the fun everywhere.||
  38. 3:07:44 PM <Nick|GM> The new path narrows quickly, and soon it's hard for Lucy to maintain her breakneck pace. She slows down some, still not wanting to fall, and marvels at how direct and free of obstacles this path is.

  41. 3:09:01 PM <[ATM]> Teruzi|Lucy [2] = 2
  42. 3:09:54 PM <Nick|GM> She hopes that even with the reduced speed, the straight path will lead her to the bottom faster than the main run. ||
  43. 3:11:54 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Still, it felt like she could go faster. It was such a nice path. Maybe she could go really fast. Just for a bit.||
  44. 3:12:08 PM <Nick|GM> (( roll that d6))

  47. 3:16:07 PM <Nick|GM> Lucy straightens her skis and leans farther forward. She seems to fly down the hill. Then, suddenly, something hard is under one of her skis, a concealed rock under the snow, and she's thrown forwards.
  48. 3:16:07 PM <Nick|GM> Her skis pop off, and she falls nearly 20 feet down the hill before the powder stops her. It's going to eat serious time getting back to the skis and starting to go again, but would this path make up for it?

  54. 3:18:08 PM <[ATM]> Teruzi|Lucy [5] = 5
  55. 3:19:57 PM <Nick|GM> Lucy notices on her laborius hike back to her skis that the trees surrounding her are not the same trees that she noticed on the lift and at the top of the hill. They're a completely different type, with bare branches instead of needles. She doesn't see any evergreens at all, now, where before they were the only trees in sight. ||
  56. 3:21:08 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Huh. Okay. That's weird. Lucy gives the surroundings a quick glance just in case. She was not scared, but she -was- a horror movie fan. Better safe than sorry.
  57. 3:21:50 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She begins to mull over the fact that no one else is coming over the path. Not even Matt. He would be the first one to go down a slope like this.||
  58. 3:23:50 PM <Nick|GM> There's nothing immediately scary or dangerous that she notices, looking around, but the forest surrounding her has a different feel to the one she was in before. She can't hear people on the other runs now, either. ||
  59. 3:32:00 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Ah yes, the typical forest that swallows maidens. Not that she was a maiden. Well, nevermind that, there's nothing she could do about it. And she still had a chance to get to the bottom if she hurried up. So she does just that.||
  60. 3:34:47 PM <Nick|GM> The trail is still here, and the race is still on. The narrow path is steep, but she manages to follow it at a decent pace, and eventually somes out to what seems to be the main hill.
  61. 3:34:47 PM <Nick|GM> As she looks around, though, there's no people, and the lift isn't running. The lodge is dark and seemingly empty. ||
  62. 3:36:58 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Oh, nice. She was actually first. Lucy smiles as she heads towards the lodge, but then stops and looks up the mountain once more. Surely she would be able to see other people?||
  63. 3:39:09 PM <Nick|GM> There are no people anywhere in sight. There aren't even ski or snowboard track besides the ones she's making. ||
  64. 3:39:23 PM <Nick|GM> ((tracks*))
  65. 3:41:36 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Ah. Shit." Lucy says as she sees the desolate sight before her. "Shit shit shit." She looks around once more, with more care this time. She just wants to know she can pull out her cellphone without a fucking Yeti jumping on her ass or something.||
  66. 3:42:00 PM <Nick|GM> Thankfully, the hill seems to be Yeti free. ||
  67. 3:43:22 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Alright, well at least she had that going on for her. Lucy pulls out her cellphone, mostly checking if the thing was even working or not.||
  68. 3:43:39 PM --> Lid ([email protected]) has joined #Other
  69. 3:44:16 PM <Nick|GM> The screen lights up as she presses the button, but there doesn't seem to be service. Had she had service on the mountain before? She doesn't remember. ||

  71. 3:44:36 PM --> Thalia ([email protected]) has joined #Other
  72. 3:46:29 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Of course, even if she -had- service before it would be ludicrous for her to have service now. She was officially in the twilight zone or whatever. Lucy is almost tempted to hike up the trail once more, see if that takes her back.
  73. 3:46:51 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She glances at the dark lodge, curiosity creeping in her mind. Maybe one little look couldn't hurt?||
  74. 3:51:45 PM <Nick|GM> She enters the lodge (whose doors are unlocked), and looks around the main hall. It's totally abandoned, the tables empty, the lights off. ||
  75. 3:54:59 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Ooooooh boy. Oh boy. She hesitates briefly in the door. She wants to run so bad. Her heart is beating so hard. But she can't help herself. What the hell was going on?
  76. 3:55:45 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She opts to not say a thing as she goes inside as quietly as she can. She pulls out her cellphone once more, taking photos, but taking care of not making any sound. She didn't know what lurked around.||
  77. 3:59:10 PM <Nick|GM> She peeks cautiously around every corner, but there's absolutely nothing creeping or crawling around. It's eerie how her footsteps echo, even in her efforts to be stealthy. There aren't any other sounds to cover it up. ||
  78. 4:01:00 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Well shit. She starts to take a video out of it, since it's likely no one will believe her.
  79. 4:01:06 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> ... If she ever gets to meet anyone again.||
  80. 4:02:56 PM <Nick|GM> Her phone's camera is having an issue making things distinct in the darkness. If she turns on the flashlight, it might make things clearer, but it also will show anyone or anything in the building where she is. ||
  81. 4:07:45 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> That was ... a terrifying prospect. Lucy turns on the light because she didn't get where she was by making good decisions.||
  82. 4:08:36 PM <Nick|GM> The video is much more clear, and nothing immediately jumps at her. ||
  83. 4:13:01 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Fuck. That was almost as scary as something jumping at her. Why the hell was she so disappointed anyways? She decides to give the twilight lodge a perfunctory search. For clues.||

  87. 4:15:42 PM <Nick|GM> A lot of the doors are locked, and so she can't investigate in the staff-only arears, but the other rooms seem normal apart from the fact that everything is off and no one is there.

  92. 4:21:53 PM <Nick|GM> As she jiggles another locked knob on an office door, she hears footsteps behind her. She whirls around, and watches as someone with a light turns around the corner. ||
  93. 4:24:05 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Ah shit. She wasn't alone. Sadly, this means more bad decisions. She goes after the mysterious stranger right away, faintly aware that she was doing everything wrong according to horror movie logic.||
  94. 4:24:35 PM <Nick|GM> The stranger turns and looks at her. "Lucy?" It's Matt's voice. ||
  95. 4:26:36 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Oh shit, the devil." Lucy says as she looks at Matt. Then she looks at Matt through the video camera of her cellphone. Better safe than sorry?
  96. 4:26:43 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Matt! What the fuck is going on?"||
  97. 4:29:03 PM <Nick|GM> Matt, even through the camera, is definitely Matt. "I have no fucking clue. I just came down the mountain and no one was anywhere. I tried to get the lift to turn back on, but the control booth was locked. I have no idea where everyone went. Maybe there was an emergency broadcast or something, like an avalanche." ||
  98. 4:30:01 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Right, Matt, in the ten minutes we were gone an avalanche went and came." Lucy snarks. "Did you take the weird path? You know, the um, empty one."||
  99. 4:31:13 PM <Nick|GM> "You mean the awesome shortcut? Yeah, I took it. And I meant that maybe there's an avalanche coming now, and that's why everyone left. We should find the others and get to the car." ||
  100. 4:33:41 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "We're in the twilight zone, Matt, I'm telling you. But yeah, we should look for the others. This place is weirding me out." She looks around the empty lodge. "We should split up."
  101. 4:34:03 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She smiles before she finishes the sentence.||
  102. 4:36:16 PM <Nick|GM> "Fuck no," Matt says. "You went to that horror marathon with me, you know splitting up is a bad idea. And how are we gonna find the others and get back together if we split up." ||
  103. 4:37:31 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Wow you can actually think." Lucy says as she checks her cellphone once more. "Did we have reception before we went down? I can't remember."||
  104. 4:38:35 PM <Nick|GM> "Uh, yeah, I sent you that picture, remember? Or was that Erin?" ||
  105. 4:39:29 PM <-- Lid ([email protected]) has left #Other
  106. 4:40:02 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "What picture?" Lucy scowls. "That was Erin, you dog." She fiddles with her phone. "Well, I don't have any reception now. We should hurry and find the others before it gets dark."||
  107. 4:41:58 PM <Nick|GM> "Yeah, the sun'll set earlier cause of the mountains. Where should we check? They'd be racing down with us, right? So they should have been at the bottom of the hill, but I didn't see them. ||
  108. 4:42:03 PM <Nick|GM> (("))
  109. 4:44:15 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Because they didn't take the easy way down like us." Lucy says. "I'm telling you man, this is some twilight zone shit. We should probably look for them at the bottom of the regular path."||
  110. 4:45:13 PM <Nick|GM> "Sure, I'll follow you," Matt says. They make their way out of the lodge, and back to the bottom of the hill. It's still empty and silent as the grave. ||
  111. 4:47:55 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Yep. We're fucked." She wasn't expecting much else, to be honest. Whatever gloomy forces at work seemed dead set in keeping the landscape as desolate as possible.
  112. 4:48:06 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Come on, get your shit. We're climbing that path."||
  113. 4:49:53 PM <Nick|GM> "We're what?" Matt asks." And all my stuff is right... fuck, where'd my skis go? I put them right there," he says, pointing to the wall of the lodge. There aren't any footprints or tracks where he's pointing, and the ski tracks Lucy made on her way down are gone, too. ||
  114. 4:52:47 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Fuck.
  115. 4:52:49 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Fuck."
  116. 4:53:27 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She looks at the mountain with a worried expression. "Well I'm not climbing that alone."
  117. 4:53:52 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Surely there were some other tracks somewhere? Was it even snowing hard enough for the tracks to be covered?||
  118. 4:55:20 PM <Nick|GM> The snow is falling very slowly, nowhere near enough to cover up tracks, but nonetheless, the tracks are nonexistant.
  119. 4:55:20 PM <Nick|GM> "Why do we have to climb anywhere?" Matt asks. ||
  120. 4:57:42 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "I don't know Matt! We came down the wrong path and ended up ... here!" Lucy says excitedly, as she gestures wildly towards the lodge.
  121. 4:58:08 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Your stuff is missing. Your tracks are missing too! We came down faster than the rest of the people in the path. But there's no one around!"
  122. 4:58:13 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "This is fucking freaky, okay?"||
  123. 4:59:01 PM <Nick|GM> "Yeah, I know it's messed up, but why is climbing the mountain without a lift going to fix it? That makes no fucking sense!" ||
  124. 5:04:46 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "It makes, like, story sense. Fine. Fuck. You're probably right." Lucy scowls. "What's your idea?"||
  125. 5:05:41 PM <Nick|GM> "Uh," Matt says. He clearly has no plan either. ||
  126. 5:08:14 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Okay." Lucy pinches the end of her nose. "Let's just ... look for the car."||
  127. 5:08:57 PM <Nick|GM> "Sure, fine, I can do that," Matt says.
  128. 5:08:57 PM <Nick|GM> They make their way towards the parking lot. ||
  129. 5:09:45 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "You got the keys, right?" Lucy asks as she looks around more nervous than before. The fact that nothing was happening was putting her more on edge. She felt completely out of her depth.||
  130. 5:11:05 PM <Nick|GM> "Yeah, they're in my pocket," Matt says, as he puts his hand inside his coat. "Riiight he-, uh, riiiight, um, so, funny story..." ||
  131. 5:11:46 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Fuck.you" Lucy says. "Fuck your shit." She turns to look at him. "Did you lost them!?"||
  132. 5:12:03 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> ((*lose))
  133. 5:13:22 PM <Nick|GM> "Nah", Matt says, as he cracks up. "Got you, though." He jingles the keys in front of him. ||
  134. 5:15:46 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "They'll never find your body." Lucy mutters, wishing she had laser eyes. "Although, it's likely they'll never find my body either." She nods.||

  138. 5:22:22 PM <Nick|GM> Matt's laughing face winces suddenly as he doubles over. Before Lucy can react, A spot on Matt's torso starts to glow, and he falls to the ground. He screams, and then is silenced. He has a hole through his torso 3 inches wide. Blood and smoke streams from the hole. ||
  139. 5:23:39 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Oh shit. Oh shitshitshit. Lucy freezes for half a second before she throws herself to the ground. The keys! She needed the fucking keys!||
  140. 5:25:45 PM <Nick|GM> The keys fell as Matt did, and are somewhere in the snow. Matt's arms and legs twitch in throws of, presumably, death. The hole in his torso collapses as guts and blood fill the gap. ||
  141. 5:28:52 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Matt you absolute fuck. She needed the keys. She taints blindly for a moment looking for the keys. But she was getting ready to bolt towards the lodge if she didn't find them.||

  148. 5:32:41 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> ((You tease!))
  149. 5:33:21 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Keys in hand, Lucy gives Matt one last glance before bolting towards the car. Or where the car used to be.||
  150. 5:49:30 PM <-- CupofCoffee ([email protected]) has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
  151. 6:24:26 PM <Nick|GM> Lucy looks at Matt's twitching body, bleeding to death, staining the white snow red. She breaks into a sprint as she heads to the parking lot. The parking lot has all the cars she expects, and she can see Matt's blue Jeep parked on the far side. ||
  152. 6:27:29 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Fucking far side bullshit. God. Lucy can't even conjure a complete thought. She just runs to the jeep. Damn thing better work.||
  153. 6:29:12 PM <Nick|GM> The car unlocks as she presses the keys, and she's able to get in. She pants heavily as she does so, tired from the adrenaline-fueled dash. ||
  154. 6:32:10 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> It's not gonna work, is it? Nothing works right in this place. Wherever the fuck she is now. Still, she tries to start the jeep, her hands shaking from the adrenaline and fear.||
  155. 6:33:29 PM <Nick|GM> It starts fine, even in the cold, and the engine rumbles to life. ||
  156. 6:37:33 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Yes, yes, you piece of shit. Thank fuck." Lucy says as she looks around for whatever it was that killed Matt.||
  157. 6:40:27 PM <Nick|GM> As she might have been able to guess, there's nothing there. The mountain slope is devoid of life, and Matt's body lies unmolested by anything. ||
  158. 6:41:40 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> It sure was molested a moment ago. Lucy feels awful about leaving Matt here, but to be completely honest, she felt more awful about the prospect of dying. So she starts to drive away from the lodge.||
  159. 6:42:59 PM <Nick|GM> She backs out of the parking space, and starts to head down the road. The only unusual thing is the lack of traffic. The road is completely empty, and there aren't any lights on in the other buildings she passes. ||
  160. 6:44:01 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Lucy stops jeep to check her cellphone. SURELY, she would have signal now. Of course she wouldn't. But she really didn't want to go back to the lodge. Fucking shortcut. Shortfuck. Fuck.||
  161. 6:45:21 PM <Nick|GM> Yep, no signal. Funny how she was worried about the equivalent of texting while driving when her friend had just died. ||
  162. 6:49:03 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Matt was gone. She was fucked. There was no one in this ... weird twilight town. She can't even process the reality of what was going on.
  163. 6:49:34 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She had to go back for him, didn't she? Lucy stops the jeep, resting her head on the driving wheel.
  164. 6:49:50 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "Fuuuuuu-"
  165. 6:50:24 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She stops. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she changes directions, heading to the lodge now. Risks be damned.||
  166. 6:51:55 PM <Nick|GM> She drives back the way she came, and when she gets to the parking lot she takes the same empty spot. She walks over to where she's /sure/ Matt's body was, but it's gone, and there's no trace of footprint, blood trail, or body indicating he ever was there. ||
  167. 6:52:48 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Of course. Right. Why would there be a body? Why the fuck did he get killed? Why didn't she get killed?
  168. 6:53:09 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Was it because he laughed? The noise? Lucy turns to look at the mountain. She had a steep climb ahead of her. Maybe she could find the others?
  169. 6:53:17 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Her thoughts are a mess as she starts to walk.||
  170. 6:55:36 PM <Nick|GM> She heads up the path where she first noticed the change, and her already tired body shudders in protest as she forces herself to climb the steep slope of snow. ||
  171. 6:56:55 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> What would she even do if she didn't go back? What -could- she do? She might as well be the last person of this earth. Punk ass twilight zone earth.||
  172. 6:57:40 PM <Nick|GM> She keeps climbing, slowing down against her will, but she remembers how long it took to make it down the hill on this path, and that was on skis. ||
  173. 7:00:18 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Did the mountain even need to be this fucking cold? God. Lucy starts to head up in a zig-zag pattern, hoping to warm up in the process. She was tired, but it wasn't the longest climb she had done.||
  174. 7:01:33 PM <Nick|GM> After what seems like ages, she gets to the point where the trail starts. The sun shines brightly, reflecting off the snow. ||
  175. 7:02:12 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Is there anyone around? At all? She's so fucking tired. Lucy feels like screaming.||
  176. 7:03:16 PM <Nick|GM> There's no one there, no tracks, nothing, and the trees are still different. She falls to her knees in the powder. ||
  177. 7:05:02 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> "FUCK.YOU" Lucy shouts at the mountain, feeling completely out of it now. Fucking trees, fucking mountain.||
  178. 7:05:26 PM <Nick|GM> Of course, the mountain doesn't respond. ||
  179. 7:07:02 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Of course. Lucy sits down in the now catching her breath for a while. Then she starts the way down. What a lousy day.||
  180. 7:08:02 PM <Nick|GM> She trips several times on the way down, but makes it to the lodge again without freezing to death. ||
  181. 7:11:37 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Freezing to death would have been easier. She turns around, checking if there were any her tracks left.||
  182. 7:13:06 PM <Nick|GM> Her tracks coming down are visible, but the ones she must have left heading up are gone. It /had/ taken a long time to get up and down, though. Maybe that disappearance was normal? In any case, looking up at the hill hurt her eyes, the sun reflecting harshly off the snow. ||
  183. 7:22:56 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Huh. Hm. Did she have a mirror? She's didn't. Was it the light that killed Matt?
  184. 7:23:27 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She uses her cellphone to reflect some of the nearby light at a wall, just to test that idea out. She needed to understand what was happening.||
  185. 7:24:15 PM <Nick|GM> The light reflects off her cell phone screen normally, as she might expect. There's nothing special or interesting that she can see. ||
  186. 7:25:24 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Well, there goes that theory. And it's not like she can give Matt a proper burial. Since the earth went and ate him. She checks the keys now, jingle them a bit.||
  187. 7:26:56 PM <Nick|GM> Similarly to the light, the keys seem to be normal. She tries to think back to exactly what happened, what they said, what she was thinking, how Matt looked, everything. ||
  188. 7:29:26 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Was it something inside of him? His laughter? Did that even make sense? Lucy goes inside to avoid some of the glare of the sun.||
  189. 7:30:32 PM <Nick|GM> Lucy goes back into the lodge, which is as dark as before. What does she want to do now? ||
  190. 7:32:09 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Cry, mostly. But instead she looks for food. A magazine. Clues? Also clues. Her mind is all over the place.||
  191. 7:32:43 PM <Nick|GM> ((d6))
  192. 7:34:15 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> $roll 1d6
  193. 7:34:15 PM <[ATM]> Teruzi|Lucy [1] = 1
  194. 7:35:18 PM <Nick|GM> She manages to find the kitchen, but there's no ingredients or food in the stores. She finds a brochure by the front desk, but no magazines. ||
  195. 7:36:50 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Lucy feels tears escaping her eyes again. She wipes them away, while trying to read the stupid brochure.||
  196. 7:37:52 PM <Nick|GM> It has prices for ski passes and packages, with pictures of people skiing happily on every page. Not very informative. ||
  197. 7:38:26 PM <-> tubes|Chunk is now known as tubes
  198. 7:40:32 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Lucy find a table to headdesk. God damn. How many locked doors where there?||
  199. 7:41:19 PM <Nick|GM> Most of the staff-only areas, and the door to the roof, she remembers from her earlier explorations. ||
  200. 7:42:40 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Then what was available to her? Without getting into the jeep, of course.||
  201. 7:46:39 PM <Nick|GM> She has access to office supplies and skiing equipment, mostly. There's various tables and chairs, and running water in the bathroom (if it still works). There might be vending machines somewhere, but she can't begin to guess if they'll be stocked or not. ||
  202. 7:47:38 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Well, she felt pretty out of it. She probably needed a snickers to be herself, or something. Matt would have thought that joke was funny. Fucking Matt. Leaving Lucy alone like this.
  203. 7:48:02 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> She wipes the tears again and goes to check the bathroom. Maybe wash her face.||
  204. 7:49:20 PM <Nick|GM> The cold water helps, and she's relieved the faucets work.
  205. 7:49:40 PM <Nick|GM> The toilets are as empty as the rest of the world. ||
  206. 7:51:13 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Okay. No people, no electricity. But water? Maybe she just needed to turn on the lights? She looks for a switch.||
  207. 7:51:35 PM --> CupofCoffee ([email protected]) has joined #Other
  208. 7:53:03 PM <Nick|GM> She switches on the lights in the bathroom. They work as normal. ||
  209. 7:53:49 PM <Teruzi|Lucy> Fuck. So that's why there weren't any lights? Lucy feels particularly stupid. She heads to the front desk. There should be a landline in there.||
  210. 7:54:30 PM <Nick|GM> There is a phone, with instructions on it. "Dial 7 for outside calls." ||
