>It's Mike's first game with Marion as the DM and it's set in a big, creepy castle with a mad scientist.
>He thinks he's being clever by making what is essentially The Creature/Adam from the Frankenstein books (and let's be real, Beanie and Bonbon would probably get a kick out of a Reanimated Human character) but Marion nearly has a fit.
>Not a "YOU CAN'T PLAY AS THAT" fit but most certainly the "HOLY SHT, HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT" kind.
>Didn't help when Mike explained the whole "Lightning brought him to life" thing.

>Marion keeps thinking about how blessed he is to have someone who knows his history and lore behind his culture
>Any holes are patched by "Must be miss remembering"
>It's driving everyone around him half-mad talking about it
>Mike is very sick with headaches
>It's been a long day for everyone else's from missing the bus to fighting with phone operators
>Marion wants to get Mike to tell him about more lost stories he knows and to help with his story
>It's the first time he has ever been kicked out of his apartments
>It's far from the first time getting tossed
>At least Chika was kind enough to lead him out rather than throwing him out on the concrete

>Marion decides to let Mike DM for a change after noting the latter's "interesting" references for the past few sessions. Seeing how there's no harm in it, Mike decides to give it a go, at least for a one-shot if anything.
>He was asked to make a Horror-Themed campaign to test what he can do.
>So, he makes up something that was highly inspired by the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th.
>The ORIGINALS, where you didn't know who'd die next, or perhaps you didn't know who the killer was.
>Suffice to say, Marion had a helluva time while everyone else got a little freaked by Mike's descriptions of the gore and killers' motives.
Cleaned it some but ill make my own green with this after making dinner

>Mike gets into some warhammer story's
>Marion: What about the Age of Sig
>Mike:Don't you dare utter that name

That reminds. I once found a great reference for how I want Robonnie to look (haircut wise) but I ended up dying since it was a nsfw 40k thousand Sun Fembois comic.

>Mike's style of a "Horror Themed S&S Game" is not really what the others were expecting.
>Instead of trying to scare the ever living shit out of them with crappy monsters or go over detailed with the gore, he sticks to his guns and applies some of his film snobbery to try and make a more "suspenseful" game.
>The Shadow, The Monster, whatever it was, wouldn't show up for long but devastation followed in it's wake.There are long moments of trying to piece together what's happening before "It" struck again.
>In short, he tried to make it feel like they were actually trying to SURVIVE, not just get a few cheap spooks in.
>Suffice it to say, Marion was THRILLED with this development to really put his Roleplay Skill to good use.
>...and maybe take notes considering some of what Mike's using sounded rather familiar in that "I know this obscure fact" kind of way.

You think they let him pick a game to try every once and while.

He keeps pulling out games he remembers like Trail of Cthulhu or Vampire: The Masquerade.

>Hey Mike why you keep picking games like these
>"Oh, used to love Detective Noir movies when i was a teenager"
>and Horror?
>"n-no... that's from personal experience"

>He remembers a game called Xcom
>Human stories are mostly Fantsy or Sifi
>It was a welcomed experience of being mostly normal people fighting against all odds
Because I have zero time I'll expand more later
>Mike has some of his games saved kept as backups for his laptop
>He let's them play it
>The classic name them after you friends thing happens
>Bonbon had to be calmed every time one of her soldiers dies
>Only the male one's
>All are named different versions of Mike with a few exceptions
>She has Beanie sit in the base to be more in character For her
