It is a discarded shoe behind some trash that looks like the shoes that Carlo usually wears. You poke around some more after that and are about to give up when you notice a broken bottle covered in some kind of a sticky substance. You frown and stare at it thoughtfully. You reach out and stroke your fingers over the bottle, gathering some of the sticky fluid onto the tips of them. You sniff at them and wince at the nauseating odor of whatever it is.

You know, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Dracula, stuff like that. Anyway, the wolfman movies had a poem and for some reason I never forgot it. I know what you're thinking but bear with me for a minute here alright? Ok, here it goes... <blockquote><blockquote>Even a man who is pure in heart, And says his prayers by night May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms And the moon is full and bright </blockquote></blockquote> Do you see where I'm going with this?<</anya>> <<link "Glance at Amber when she speaks up.">> <<ctpAdvance "day7Clues2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<amber>>Your theory is that the shadow killer is just an innocent person being forced into it or under a curse or something??<</amber>> Anya nods and the two of them look at you. You nibble on your lip thoughtfully as you look at them. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>It's an interesting theory. It probably means this shadowy killer is taking orders from someone else. So, I think we have to decide who our suspects are. Obviously it's not any of us. Sheriff Drake was there and drove off the killer, saving us. I don't think it's his deputies or the doctor either since I woke up in her office after I found Lisa. Still, that leaves a lot of people it could be....<</say>> <<link "Frown as the three of you think about this.">> <<ctpAdvance "day7Clues2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<amber>>The killer is kind of big and a little tall so it's probably a man, right?<</amber>> You and Anya nod and Amber keeps speaking. <<amber>>Whoever it is probably lives alone, or is at least not married. I mean, a lover or wife would notice them getting out of bed and being gone for hours right? So, it's a man, probably single and I bet they're young too. Also, whoever it is doesn't have to work nights probably so definitely not the deputies since sometimes they work nights. <</amber>> <<link "Nod as you think over what Amber said.">> <<ctpAdvance "day7Clues2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<anya>>Alright, so if we keep thinking like this, the Shadow Killer probably works for whoever kidnapped and murdered Lisa and they might even have helped with it.

Maybe he was going home and poor Janice was in the wrong place at the wrong time?<</amber>> <<anya>>Or what about Eric Crocker? He lives on the creepy, foggy docks.

She buries her face in her hands, her hair hiding most of her features but the movement of her shoulders and the quiet whimpering sounds you hear lead you to realize she is crying. You wince as you remember Lisa was her best friend and this is all painful for her. Anya moves over and wraps an arm around Amber, mummuring quietly in her ear. She glances at you for a moment and you nod, debating whether or not to comfort Amber too or not. You decide that for now, Anya is enough and stare outside as your mind turns over your lists of suspects and their possible motivations. After a few minutes Amber seems to get control of herself and she gives you an embarassed smile as she wipes at her eyes. <<amber>>Sorry, so, umm...who do we have as suspects?<</amber>> <<link "Tell them what you think.">> <<ctpAdvance "day7Clues2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>Well, I think before we figure out who, we need to figure out the why. I didn't...I uhh..passed out shortly after finding Lisa but I saw enough to make me think it was some kind of...ritual killing. Not just a simple murder. She was on a stone table, like an altar, and had a fancy looking knife stuff in her chest. So, a ritual, then. I don't know why it was Lisa though.<</say>> <<amber>>Well, I might have a thought on that, it's kind of crazy but...well... <<if $playerKnowledge.contains("amber6")>> You both know my family secret, that I may be descended from an illegimate Constain. <<print $player.name>>, you're descended from an illegimate Corvus. What if Lisa was from an offshoot of the Van Horns? Could this all be tied into the founding families? We also know from her diary that the 'pale shadow' that visited her wanted her to help lure the "heir" to Solomon Falls. That's clearly you. <<else>> <<set $playerKnowledge.pushUnique("amber6")>> <<set $secrets.amber6 to "Amber told you that an ancestor of hers might have been an illegitimate Constantin.">> There are rumors about my family. Like...my mother's side of the family is super pale and rumor is, her great, great grandmother was impregnated by a Constantin. And they were famous for always being pale, you know? I mean that and being horrible bastards. So, if it's true, that means I'm part Constantin? And you're descended from the Corvus family. What if Lisa was from an offshoot of the Van Horns? Could this all be tied into the founding families? We also know from her diary that the 'pale shadow' that visited her wanted her to help lure the "heir" to Solomon Falls. That's clearly you. <</if>><</amber>> <<link "Nod along as Amber lays out her theory.">> <<ctpAdvance "day7Clues2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<anya>>It's Nicholai Constantin right? I mean why are we even acting like this is a big secret. He suddenly shows up now, announces himself to <<print $player.name>> and then, well, Lisa is killed on the same day? Who else would be a "pale shadow" standing over Lisa's bed? He has to be the one behind it all? He wants to take over the town. Hell, if Izabela actually being Natasha Van Horn is true, he probably started working on this decades ago!<</anya>> You purse your lips thoughtfully as Anya speaks and glance at Amber. She listens to Anya and then looks at you, nodding her agreement with Anya.

It's too obvious you know? If this was a detective drama he'd be the most obvious red herring ever wouldn't he? I mean, he is probably taking advantage of the situation at the very least but is he really behind it?

Don't look so surprised. Of course I know about Arisha even if I had to pretend I did not. So, first, let's start with a few basics you've probably already guessed but now I can explain a bit more.

You've probably heard of the Salem Witch Trials but that is only the tip of the iceberg. The Van Horn ancestors came to a realization. Humanity, at the time, was not ready for supernatural beings to exist among them. So, they gathered the survivors and brought them here. But there was still a problem. How to protect the survivors and hide them. To do that, a powerful spell was needed but such a spell required balance. The Van Horns thought they'd be enough but quickly realized that they weren't. They needed beings of light and darkness to balance the spell and to protect Solomn Falls from the outside world. Following so far? <</roy>> Roy looks off to the side and chews on his lip.

Riley breaks her usual attentive stance and takes a step closer to him and for the first time in your memory you see her hesitate as she raises a hand as if to place it on his shoulder to comfort him.

Van Horn, through Riley, tells you he hopes to cleanse the school of the spirits that haunt it and open it again as a school dedicated to helping the supernatural learn to control their abilities and become productive members of society. He also informs you that in his opinion the Academy will be even more important should the balance in the town become bad enough that its protective spells fail.

An older woman walks in from a side door and gives you a look that is half way between a smile and a grimace. She wears an ugly shapeless dress and you can easily imagine a cigarette dangling from her mouth even though she doesn't have one at the moment. You frown slightly at the image and she seems to notice your expression. She puts her hands on her hips and looks you up and down. <<link "Smile awkwardly at her.">> <<ctpAdvance "entry1">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/MeetingSean.jpg"]] A young man walks down the stairs and nods at you. He looks surprised to see you and glances at her but she doesn't seem surprised at all.

She glances at the young man briefly then turns her gaze back to you. <<if $player.gender is "male">> <<janice>>Hmmmm, you're not exactly who I expected.

We always have a room ready, just in case.<</janice>> She doesn't wait for you to acknowledge what she said. She simply turns and starts making her way up the stairs. You think about her answer and the look those two exchanged. You are pretty sure that is not what she meant at all. She expected you, or someone like you. And she expected you today. You hoist your suitcase and follow her as quickly as you can while you try to shake off the feeling that something isn't right. You briefly glance back as you go up the stairs and see Sean watching you. He nods at you and then turns, walking deeper into the house.

That man was once a respected detective in the Sheriff's department. He had a daughter, red hair like yours. But she disappeared, just like Lisa and it broke something in Lou. He became obsessed with finding her and lost his job. He briefly became a private investigator then seemed to just lose all his drive. Then a couple of years ago, he bought the diner and now, well, now Lou is a much different man. He just doesn't care like he used to and here's a secret for you girl. He now runs a hidden gentleman's club. Remember that picture of Lisa I showed you? It was taken in his club. Girls who impress him get jobs there. I suspect that Lisa worked there actually.<</carlo>> <<set $playerKnowledge.pushUnique("lisa8")>> <<set $secrets.lisa8 to " Lisa worked in a Gentleman's club owned by Lou Perry.">> <<set $playerKnowledge.pushUnique("lou2")>> <<set $secrets.lou2 to "Lou was once a detective in the Sheriff's office.">> <<set $playerKnowledge>> <<set $playerKnowledge.pushUnique("lou3")>> <<set $secrets.lou3 to "Lou had a daughter but she went missing and it changed him into the man he is now.">> <<set $playerKnowledge>> <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>What about Lou's wife?

Anyway, here's the deal about the Mayor. On paper he has a lot of power but the real power around here comes from the mansion on the hill. Mister Van Horn runs this town and everyone, including the Mayor, knows it. If Van Horn tells the Mayor to do something, he'll do it. But here's the funny thing. The Mayor's father? Joshua? He has something on Van Horn and sometimes he can get him to back down.

No one knows where she came from. She just showed up one day and was working for him. There are a lot of rumors but nobody knows the truth. You find that out? You'd know something even I don't.

He's a hard ass but he's one of the few good men in this town. Even so, he keeps two sets of records. One is the offical record of most of the crimes in this town. The other one is the record of what really happens. Records he knows he can't allow to be official. He's not the first to do it. Sheriffs before him did the same. But what you'll really be interested in is this. He has files on you and files on Lisa Patterson. Those are kept in the locked safe in his office. He might show them to you if you become a detective for him and he trusts you enough. That'd be a tall order though. His last detective was Lou Perry, the owner of the diner. Before you can worry about any of that though, you have to survive this undercover job he has you on. And no, I don't have information about that, just that Nick Fedorov spends a lot of time in an alley a couple of blocks east of here.

If you work for the mayor or work as a maid for the Van Horns, you'll find yourself drawn into the politics of this town. This can help you a lot. Or it can destroy you if you're not careful. If you work at the diner, you'll be following in Lisa Patterson's footsteps for good or ill. You'll either find her or join her. And if you work for the Sheriff, well, he's one of the few honest men in this town but the path he will likely send you down is possibly the most dangerous of all. He will want you to find the source of a drug, the same one that started Lisa down the path she took. That is probably the most dangerous thing you could do. That's all I have for now, but come back and I'll have more for you.<</carlo>> You sigh and just stare at him. It sounds like advice, not secrets but he truly is telling you some stuff you didn't know before so you suppose you'll have to accept it.

Corruption is taking root and it is rotting the town from within. Solomon Falls was founded by a trio of families: the Van Horns, the Constantins and the Corvus. This you may or may not already know. Two of the families were lost and when they were, things began to change. One of the families was consumed by darkness before it disappeared. One was a beacon of light that was extinguished in a great tragedy. Still, even with their loss the balance held.

<div class="skillpass">Version 0.40</div> The word count is now over 315,000 words! New content: The cliffhanger from 0.35 is resolved! With a possible "bad end" New scene with Amber and Anya Tweaks: Bug fixes: Fixed a lot of minor issues. Mostly spelling and grammar issues. Thank you to Shaqarava on the TFGames forum for pointing a lot of them out for me. Fixed an issue with Izabela's night visit and incorrect dialogue for Arisha if you chose Nicholai in the dream. Fixed an issue where the player was forced to kiss Eric. Oops! Fixed a missing picture when investigating Nicholai. Fixed the drinking with deputies pub event. The task to find Lisa should finally complete! Fixed a major bug in leveling up thievery where it got a big boost from fitness. Oops! Note that this is essentially a nerf to thievery as it currently works. Discovered Ray wasn't giving the key for the motel blackmail route on Saturday. Fixed this! <<back>> <<link "Past changelogs">><<toggleclass "#pastlogs" "hidden">><</link>> <div id="pastlogs" class="hidden"> <div class="skillpass">Version 0.35</div> The word count is now over 315,000 words! New content: New encounter with one of the vampires if you have met them before. A chance to investigate your suspect for who is behind Lisa's murder. This can go multiple ways depending on who your suspect is and how your skill checks turn out! A new adventure with Eric and Wolfram! The Tisdale Manor is now in the game. You'll see it if you investigate Joshua! More secrets to discover, perhaps even the identity of the Mastermind behind all the events in the game! Tweaks: Bug fixes: Fixed a fairly major bug from the last update. New players don't need to worry about it but it did necessitate me adding in a scene where the PC picks their suspects again. Fixed a bug where the player can get stuck in the Sheriff's office if they're late to work. Or go in when it's their day off. If you weren't being blackmailed by Ray and had the key on Saturday, you could be blackmailed by him but I did the day calculation wrong. That should be fixed now so Ray blackmail will happen on Monday as it should. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.33b</div> The word count is now over 285,000 words! Bug fixes: Fixed a bug when talking to Roy about Izabela in the library. Fixed a bug when the player never got the free dress from Jill's shop and/or the mesh dress. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.33a</div> The word count is now over 285,000 words! New content: Sex scene on Deputy Parker's date added! Bug fixes: Bug during sex scene with Joshua Tisdale fixed. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.33</div> The word count is now over 285,000 words! New content: The interview with Ellie is now doable if you drank with her at Mooney's! New information about one of the vampires! Big change for the deputy/undercover job. New character introduced thanks to a $25 patron! A muscle mommy! Another new character introduced if you're on the stripper path! Pick your suspects for Lisa's murder and the shadow killer! At some point, a new heading will be added to your notebook: Investigation notes. Track your suspects and evidence as you progress! New topics in the library! A way to recover willpower has been introduced! Talk to Roy in the library! Tweaks: I removed the restriction from the Maid job requiring TG characters to be more feminine. It doesn't really fit the rest of the game as the player can find excuses to do other "girly" things. The dream with Lisa on Saturday night has a minor tweak. I made it more clear why your character is surprised by Lisa's reaction to the raven flying in. And also had him complain that she called him a crow! On the day you learn about Arisha the game now forces you to go to the library to meet her so there's no chance of missing her content. Added an exit from the newspaper when doing research. Oops. Changed main square slightly to be a bit less busy looking and hopefully make it easier and more logical to find stuff. Taking Rapture now adds to corruption. Changed the paper background in the notebook to hopefully be less obnoxious! Bug fixes: Fixed some formatting errors in the pub when drinking with Ellie Maxwell. Fixed a typo in Lisa's first dream. Fixed a potential bug with drinking with the deputies at the pub Fixed numerous typos and small bugs throughout the game. Fixed Jill's date task not being marked successful. Hopefully! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.3</div> The word count is now over 238,000 words! New content: Go to the pub and have drinks with various residents of Solomon Falls! (only available during the week, not during weekend content!) Experience the aftermath of last update's big events! Discover more of the history of Solomon Falls and your place in it! Three potential sex scenes depending on your choices in this and prior updates! (Technically, there are 6 different sex scenes but a player can only get three depending on choices as some are mutually exclusive.) Several new locations added to the game! New interactions with the vampires! Several new locations added to the game! A potential romantic moment with Eric should players make the right choice! Tweaks: Bug fixes: Fixed a bug where you'd get an error if you tried to leave the library without asking any questions after your first visit. Fixed some missing links if you go to slap Sean but miss during a meal at the B&B. Fixed an issue with the undercover makeup ui picture Various typos fixed Fixed a bug if you run from Carlo when first meeting him then return later. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.24c</div> Bug fixes: Fixed an issue where Ray's blackmail could be put 28 days in the future! Fixed improperly named pictures in a certain scenario with Ray on Saturday. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.24b</div> Bug fixes: A rare case where you could get a blank screen at the motel has been fixed. Getting a blank screen when meeting the priest and "agreeing to talk" has been fixed. Various spelling errors corrected. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.24a</div> Bug fixes: A bug during the Patterson breakin when you had the key has been fixed. Various spelling errors corrected. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.24</div> The word count is now over 207,000 words! New content: Meet Kamiko and visit the gas station Sean's first date. Meet Sharelle at the grocery store and Wolfram at the lighthouse. Meet two new characters that won't be named here during a special event. Break into the Patterson home with Anya and Amber with a possible 2nd blackmail "date" with Ray or a new one if you managed to steal the key! New encounter with the Sheriff's deputies! And a possible new date arranged! A very important encounter that could lead to a bad end or deaths for one or more NPCs! Tweaks: Bug fixes: A bug that could get you stuck in the church when you first visit has been fixed. Various spelling errors corrected. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.23b</div> Tweaks: Shortened the time the visit to Eric's takes. Bug fixes: Fixed an issue that caused a blank screen when being punished by Lou Fixed an issue that caused Carlo's secret on Friday to potentially not be accessible. Fixed an issue that caused Nick's drug scene to not be accessible during the blowjob. Fixed an issue where you were told you're not addicted to Rapture on Friday if you passed your willpower check. Fixed an issue where the addiction got reset to 1 on a failure on Friday instead of increasing by 1. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.23</div> The word count is now over 180,000 words! New content: New dream New talk with Sean at breakfast! New job events! The Mayor now has his missing event from Thursday! (see bugs!) A complete makeover for your character! The ability to quit jobs has now been added! Once you quit a job you can't go back and do that job again so be sure! Also note that quitting your job will not be available until the following week of work. When you first visit the Patterson house you now have a chance to visit Lisa's room and learn 3 more secrets! New topics to talk about in the library! In addition, the conversation where you ask him questions has been polished and should flow better. Added hints to the Main Square on the first day to help new players. New interaction after work with Mark, Anya and Amber! New date possible with Mark, Anya or Amber! New hypnosis events! You can now search Riley's room if you have the maid job! Tweaks: Character creation has been changed to be more narrative in nature and engaging. The first day in town has been changed quite a bit. Dialogues have been cleaned up and many of the renders have been redone. Janice now has a secret to learn among other changes and in general the early game pushes the theme of the game better with the unsettling supernatural elements being more obvious. It now pushes you to meet Amber and Lisa's parents before it opens up into the sandbox. This is to make sure players have met them and to keep the early game more focused. Many renders have been redone. All characters have had their skin and eyes tweaked to look better. Lighting is generally improved in many of the renders. I tweaked the skin and eye settings on all characters. I also redid every single picture that comes up when a character is talking. I made it harder to steal the key from the Patterson's home. This is because you could, with the right stats, automatically succeed in stealing the key and have no chance to get the blackmail route. If you decide not to pay for a secret with Carlo (with sex or money!) he now allows you to try for the same secret again if you visit him the next day instead of it being lost for all time. Masterbation now goes to its own screen instead of embedding in the bedroom screen. It also has all new renders! It is no longer possible to fail to get inside the Patterson home as this task is too important. Ray's blackmail now happens on the same day you meet him if it happens. Jill's date now happens on the day after you meet her. This allows you to have an event each night through Thursday if you meet her on the first day. The transgender dream sequence has been expanded! It's not a bit more horrific and lasts longer, showing the changes in more detail! Mark's date has had an expansion. You now have the chance to ask him several more questions about Lisa and learn new secrets! The roll to resist drug addiction is now based on willpower, not athletics and it lowers willpower. Bug fixes: Mayor's missing job event for Thursday added! Many, many bug fixes from broken secrets to broken pictures and more. May spelling and grammar fixes. Deputy Lucas Parker has been in the notebook as Deputy Lucas Bryant all this time! Fixed! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.22</div> The word count is now around 121,000 words! Bug fixes: Many, many bug fixes. Jill's date should consistently show up in your notebook now after you accept it from her. Tweaks: I went back and rewrote some of the earlier content. No huge changes, mostly just polishing and looking for spelling mistakes. New content: First date with Jill! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.21</div> The word count is now around 108,000 words! Bug fixes: Fixed a bug that could cause the days to advance by 2 if you stayed out too late. Reset the day to the correct day should this bug have happened to a player. Fixed a bug with the last dream that didn't properly advance the player to the next dream. Fixed a bug that caused the date reminders for Mark and the Jill to never show. Tweaks: New way of doing skill checks makes it much easier for me. Special thanks to Scyne! Inventory and Notebook pop up in their own dialogue boxes now. This fixes an issue where a player might explore them then get stuck with no way back to their original page. I did some streamlining of events. This won't impact the players but makes it easier for me to add news one and makes things less cluttered. I've added some code that should remove the chance that your first meeting with a character is interupted by your character deciding she needs sleep. New content: New secret from Carlo! Breakfast scenes added in! New scene with Sean at breakfast if you also ran into him during a meal in the B&B! New dream! New job content! The Mayor's content changes based on your interactions with Ray! All new location replaces an old location! Creepy! You can get addicted to drugs if you're on the undercover job! First date with Mark! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.2.a</div> Bug fixes: Lots of bug fixes ranging from typos to broken links and paragraphs. As well as a few small tweaks to fix some minor problems that have lingered since the first release! Tweaks: Increased the save slots to 20. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.2</div> The word count is now around 91.000 words! Bug fixes: A few small bugs I found while testing were fixed. I fixed a bug with Mark's intro where if you acted submissively it set a non-existent variable because of a mispelling. Oops! Tweaks: Sitting on benches in the park or on the promenade now gives variable energy back depending on how long you sit there. For 1 hours it is 5 energy all the way up to 20 energy if you sit there for 4 hours. Passing time in your bedroom works the same way and now also returns energy. I changed most of the images to jpeg and compressed to lower the game size. The energy for moving around has been totally removed. The energy for using skills has been slightly increased. You can now critically succeed or fail at skill tasks! This will have very good or bad effects if it happens! New content: New dream! You get to find out what the mysterious voice is and if you're playing TG ask the being in your dreams about it! You can now eat a meal in the B&B. To do so go to the B&B entry. This can be done once a day and restores some energy. The first time you eat in the B&B you get another event with Sean. It changes based upon how you reacted to him in the hallway and somewhat based on if you're a born female or TG Second day for the various jobs added! New secrets from Carlo and new hypno events with the doctor and priest! New event at the clothing store! Note, you'll see it automatically if you are working for the mayor. A new character is introduced at the library and another one at the docks! New event exclusive to transgender characters! Ray's blackmail event! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.1.a</div> Bug fixes: Visual bug when talking to the mayor about being his personal assistant has been fixed. Thanks Gwen and the others on the Twine Games discord! The first time you visited the diner, eating a meal left you with no way to exit or talk about the waitress job. That's fixed now. Oops! Fixed bugs having to do with the doctor's hypno session and a small bug in the Sheriff's talk. Tweaks: Removed the energy cost for going from your bedroom to the entry area or the outside of the b&b and vice versa. Moving around the B&B no longer costs energy at all. Removed the energy cost for going in and out of the motel room. Lowered the energy cost for moving from place to place from 5 to 3. Work "under the hood" to streamline some code. Thank you Gwen for pointing it out to me! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.1</div> Bug fixes: Numerous small bugs. Notably, I forgot to set up a notebook page for Lou if you work as a waitress. That has been fixed. If you saw the doctor and let her hypnotise you it didn't have the full intended affect. This is fixed and should also update on old saves when you see her for the second time. Tweaks: Minor tweaks to the start page including adding the awesome logo by TRBRY Some images are no longer rounded, such as the polaroids of the characters in the notebook. Changed the pages to have much less or no scrolling. The trade off is links to continue the story. New content! Maid Job added: Meet Mister Van Horn in the diner and then go to his manor if you want it. Note: Transgender characters will need to be more feminine to accept the job but they can still talk about it with him. Church scenes added! Including a new way to get back energy! Library scenes added! Discover new secrets! More content to come to the library soon! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.c</div> Bug fixes: Fixed job logic so it doesn't tell you you missed work when you didn't. Thank you MadMaddy for reporting this! Fixed a few typos in character creation. Fixed the new autosleep function to kick off BEFORE 7am so you didn't get caught in an end of content loop! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.b</div> Bug fixes: A few minor typos fixed. Tweaks: Limited showering to once a day after feedback. Added an autosleep function to prevent skipping through days without sleeping. <div class="skillpass">Version 0.01a</div> Bug fixes: No path back to main square from residential district. Missing HTML element in one version of the Ray encounter. Karl encounter repeated endlessly in the diner. Fixed a bug when meeting Grace if you were out of energy. Tweaks: Moved looks to "Other stats" on the side bar. Made Anya's intro flow better. Thank you CyCy! <hr> <div class="skillpass">Version 0.01</div> Initial release. Around 35,000 words total. Gameplay: Starting scenes with 10+ characters. Many locations created but only a few have content. The following locations have a decent amount of content: The Main Square, Lou's Diner, City Hall, The Sheriff's Station, Haven Park, the Residential District, the Doctor's Office, a redacted, and also a bit at redacted.

This church looks ancient and if you didn't know better you'd say it might even predate the town. Still, it looks like it is in fairly good shape for its age. You feel a breeze blow past you as you approach and you shiver slightly. Something about this church feels...off but you can't put your finger on it. It's almost like unseen eyes are watching you. You glance up at the steeple and for a moment you think you see a shadow move up there but then you blink and it's gone. <<link "Go inside the church."

She seems very friendly though she also seems to be measuring you with her eyes. <<if $metPeople.riley>> Unlike that woman, Riley, that travels with the man in the wheelchair her look seems less...assessing.<</if>> You get the feeling it's very literally what she is doing.

Her kiss lingers as she rests her gloved left hand on your soft, sensitive breast, her thumb gently teasing your nipple. It's a passionate, agressive kiss but something about it feels different. She finally breaks the kiss and smiles at you.

<<ctp "EricHuntP2">> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2.jpg"]] You've been out on the water for a couple of hours now and not much has happened. Eric is up on top of the boat's cabin steering it slowly through the fog. Wolfram is in the cabin, doing who knows what. You decided to come down to the lower deck for a moment, unable to believe that while you're out hunting a monster you've gotten bored but here you are. You've been sitting in the chair dedicated to fishing when you hear a sound that makes your brow furrow. It seems to be coming from the water behind the boat, a wet slurping sound. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>What was that?<</say>> <<link "Get up to take a closer look.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-2.jpg"]] As you near the back of the boat a smell washes over you. It's rotting meat with a sort of fishy smell under it. Your wrinkle your nose and try not to gag as you lean on the back of the boat and peer down into the water. Your heart hammers in your chest and your eyes widen as you see a large shadow moving under the boat then slowly rising up in the water. You feel a chill run down your spine and your heart pounds, the instinctive urge to flee rising up in you. <<link "Freeze at what you see.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-3.jpg"]] You stare in horror down into the depths. A creature slowly rises up and you're pretty sure it is staring right back at you. Its tentacles wave slowly in the water and great leathery wings slowly flutter, reminding you of a manta ray as it nears. You lick suddenly dry lips and try to shout or say something but all that comes out is a croaking sound. The being brushes against the bottom of the boat and the boat rocks in the water. <<wolfram>>What was that?<</wolfram>> <<link "Slowly back away.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-4.jpg"]] You back up all the way to the cabin. There is a thump and the boat rolls to the side as if a large wave hit it. Your mind latches onto a line from pop culture from the very movie you mentioned earlier to Eric. You finally find your voice and manage to speak, your voice only slightly cracking and trembling. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>You're gonna need a bigger boat...<</say>> <<link "Continue staring as the thing you saw rises out of the water.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-5.jpg"]] You're only vaguely aware of the cabin door opening and Wolfram stepping out. You stare up at the creature as it floats up over the boat, water dripping from it. You see Wolfram out of the corner of your eye and he is staring too. You're pretty sure that Eric is probably staring from his position on the roof of the cabin. You swallow, mouth so dry your voice is a hoarse croak when you speak. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>What's the plan here guys?<</say>> <<link "Keep your eyes on the creature.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-6.jpg"]] The creature looms over the boat, floating almost lazilly in the air as it slowly flaps its wings. Its tentacles sway around its body in an almost hypnotic pattern and you can't seem to look away. Your heart pounds as you press yourself against the ladder behind you. Finally, it dawns on you that the men never answered your question. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>Guys? What do we do?<</say>> <<link "Listen to Eric's reply.">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-7.jpg"]] Eric's voice is shaky when he speaks. You can't see him but you think he must be as pale as you are. He is almost yelling to be heard of the sound of the creature's sudden roar <<eric>>We...uhh...had strong fishing poles...spear guns...even a couple of sticks of dynamite but...this...this is more than we expected. We've got to get out of here!<</eric>> The boat's engines leap to life right as the creature goes back into the water and the boat suddenly lurches to the side, throwing you off balance! <<link "Scream as you begin to fall overboard!">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-8.jpg"]] It all seems to happen in slow motion. You tilt over the railing, arms pinwheeling as your feet slide out from under you. Wolfram lunges towards you but his eyes widen and he freezes in place, face going pale. For a brief moment you don't know why he panicked but then you a dripping tentacle curling in front of you as others begin to wrap around you. Wolfram recovers from his brief freeze and moves towards you but by then it is already too late. You fall into the water with a large splash, the boat already moving away from you as Wolfram yells at Eric to stop. <<link "Struggle as you are pulled under and further from the boat!">> <<ctpAdvance "EricHuntP2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8EricHuntP2-9.jpg"]] You reach towards the boat and the light above you even as your vision begins to fade and your lungs scream for oxygen. You feel the urge to breath, to scream and you struggle as you are dragged deeper and deeper. As your vision slowly goes black you see the boat turning but you know that by the time they come back it'll be too late. You'll be gone. Bubbles escape from your mouth as you scream one last time, water rushing into your lungs... <<link "Lose your battle against the darkness."

He frowns and then his eyes widen as he flies backwards towards one of the windows in your bedroom. You tense, expecting him to crash into the glass but the window flies open moments before he hits it. He yelps as he tumbles through the window and out of sight. The window slams closed again and Arisha sags, lowering her hands. <<arisha>>It is done. Get some rest <<print $player.name>>.<</arisha>> She fades away and you lay back in your bed.

You shudder as his tentacles caress your face and head while he thrusts within you. <<say "?????">>Yyyeessss....nnneeedddd yyyyooouuuuu!<</say>> <<link "Groan as he picks up the pace.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCaveEnd">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCaveEnd3.jpg"]] You moan as he thrusts harder into you. Your legs raise slightly and your feet rest on his thighs while your fingers scratch over his hips as they flex powerfully. You still have trouble catching your breath as you have never felt this full before, his cock bigger than any you've taken in the past. You close your eyes briefly and just give in to the intense sensations, your slick inner walls squeezing his hard shaft as it moves within you. <<link "Look up into his eyes as he rises slightly above you.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCaveEnd">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCaveEnd4.jpg"]] He rests his fists on each side of your body as he looks down at you. His face tentacles pull back slightly as he lets out a wet sounding moan. He growls and then resumes pounding into your defelenss pussy, rocking your body with each powerful thrusts. One of your legs rises and hooks behind his ass as he takes you. You flush as you realize how wanton you're acting and you wonder briefly if you have always had the potential to be this depraved. Your thoughts scatter after a particularly hard thrust and your inner walls briefly clamp down on his invading cock. <<link "Squeal as he shifts positions and grabs your legs.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCaveEnd">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCaveEnd5.jpg"]] He turns your hips up and holds your ankles above you. The new angle lets him slide deeper into you with each of his powerful thrusts. Your toes curl as a powerful orgasm washes over you and you scream your pleasure. For a moment you think you hear a voice calling your name from somewhere in the cave system but your attention quickly turns back to your new lover as the pace of his thrusts increases. You tense, crying out again when you feel his cock twitching within you followed by a spreading warmth deep inside you. <<link "Lay there, recovering as the aftershocks of your orgasms roll over you.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCaveEnd">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCaveEnd6.jpg"]] He pulls out of you and stands letting out a sound that is half yell and half roar. It is a triumphant sound and once more you think you hear voices briefly. You reach down, fingers gently caressing your swollen pussy lips as his seed drips from within you. You groan softly and feel yourself fading away into an exhausted sleep as your new lover walks off into the darkness. You frown as you think you hear a cry of pain just before sleep claims you but you'll never know for sure. When you awake he is there again with food. After you eat he takes you again and this time you enjoy it just a bit more. The next day is a repeat of the prior day and so on. Days become weeks. Weeks become months. If anyone looked for you, you never saw them and so you continue to live with the creature. Man? Mutant? <<link "Settle into your new life.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCaveEnd">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCaveEnd7.jpg"]] Even before your belly swells you know you are carrying his child. You don't even care if it will look human or like him. By this time you are fully devoted to your lover. Even when you briefly found your way outside you didn't try to escape. Not that it mattered as you eventually figured out you're on an island. Your lover changes slightly once you are pregnant. He becomes more protective of you and spends a lot of time running his hands over your belly. One thing that doesn't change is how often he fucks you. He takes you multiple times per day though he is somewhat less rough once you're carrying his child. One day you lay down to rest and for a brief moment you think you see a nearly invisible outline of Corvus's spirit. You frown, memories of your old life crossing your mind as you fall asleep. You dream that you're back on Eric's boat and the large sea monster attacks, knocking you into the ocean once more. <<link "Wake up in the cave..."

After a moment the memory fades like a dream and you shake your head to clear it.<</if>> You wince and sit up your elbows, looking around you, eyes widening as a few things become obvious. The first and perhaps most obvious is that your clothes are gone and you're still dripping wet. You haven't been here for long then. The second is that you're in a cave, the only light some moonlight coming in from a crack in the ceiling. You can see the ocean outside but as usual it is so foggy you can't see much. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>I have to get out of here.<</say>> <<say "??????">>Nnnnooo...ssshhhtttaaaayyyyyy....<</say>> <<link "Gasp and look in the direction of the odd voice.">> <<ctpAdvance "seaCave8">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/day8SeaCavep2.jpg"]] Even before the speaker steps out of the darkness you have a bad feeling. The voice had sounded wet, almost , and your nose wrinkles at a slight fishy smell. Your eyes widen as a shadow steps closer with what you at first think is snakes wriggling around its head but when it steps into the moonlight you realize that they are tentacles. You quicly realize the figure is male and that it, in fact, has a fairly large penis. Your eyes dart back to its face when it speaks again. <<say "??????">>Bbbbeeeennnnn lllooonnneelllyyyy.

He reaches out and slides his fingers over the damp skin of your knee and inner thigh. Your eyes catch sight of movement between his thighs and you dart a glance at it. The area is deep in shadow but you're pretty sure his cock has hardened and you slowly turn your gaze back to the thing in front of you. An odd realization washes over you as you stare into his eyes. It may look like some kind of sea creature but something tells you this is a man. Horribly mutated or transformed <<if $player.tg eq true>>like yourself though much more extreme <</if>>but still a man. <<if ndef $events.seaCaveEnding>> <<link "Give him what he wants, perhaps it is safer that way!"

You knew that Lisa's funeral would take a lot of attention today but you're shocked by just how empty the town feels. It's nice in a way, everything is peaceful and quiet, but it is also eerie. The town feels like a ghost town and you almost expect to see a tumbleweed blow past. You shake your head to shake off the eerie feeling and try to focus on your day.

Roy Lacey is the opposite. There is nothing to make him suspicious and he might be the most friendly and kind person in the whole town with the possible exception of Amber. Then there is Joshua Tisdale and you glance briefly over your shoulder towards City Hall when your thoughts turn to him.

I know Sheriff Drake seems like a hardass but he cares about this town. Sometimes I think he takes everything bad that happens here personally like he failed even if he had no chance to prevent it.

You can check it from home too if you want. You'll also have a login for our database. It's the same as your computer login. That you can't check at home. Alright, I'll let you get settled in. I need to make a few phone calls. <</lucas>> You nod your thanks and get distracted by the computer while Lucas sits back down and calls someone.

You're lost in your thoughts, excited about your new role and the oppurtunities it gives you. A voice calls out and you turn your gaze towards the alley, sighing softly when you see Nick waving at you with a smirk on his face, a beer can clutched in his other hand. You hesitate but he beckons to you and so you slide your new badge into your pocket and turn to go see what he wants. <<nick>>Hello there <<print $player.name>>.

/* Give a choice between reporter, anya, eric and risking talk to deputy On day 2 do makeup along with other jobs */ That morning you'd had an envelope waiting for you at the front entry to the bed and breakfast. You opened it and found directions from the Sheriff. A box next to a bench in the park where you could leave notes and letters detailing your progress and pick up your payments. That is one big question you had answered. You have another you need to consider though. Where do you find this drug dealer, Nick Fedorov? You'd gone to the address the Sheriff gave you but found nothing there to your frustration. You can think of a few options all with their own pros and cons. <<link "Try talking to the reporter, Ellie Maxwell, you met on your first day in town."

The room has a surprising combination of class and debauchery. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the very obvious stripper pole on the stage and you are surprised to see it unoccupied. In fact, the whole room is empty. <<jill>>This is one of the VIP rooms. I rented it just for us. I've taken the liberty of ordering our food already. It should be here shortly.

Seasoned and marinated steak with a salad on the side and some kind of grilled vegetables. It reminded you somewhat of Hibachi grill. During and after dinner you and Jill had drinks. She drank wine and you drank rum and coke. The waitress brought them to you each time and it felt like your glass was rarely allowed to be empty. You're definitely starting to feel the effects of the alcohol as time passes and you give Jill a somewhat tipsy smile. <<jill>>Lisa worked here you know? In this very room. It's hard to get a job here. You have to be approved by the owner and he doesn't just take walk in applications. This place, well, it caters to a lot of tastes and a lot of illegal activity happens here. It's got powerful protection but still, the owner doesn't like to flaunt things. This place is called the Royal Flush.

She seems to take complete control of the kiss and you let her. What she whispers to you next shocks you. <<set $player.dominance -= 1>> /* Jill brings out the submissive in you. */ <<jill>>I think you would look sexy dancing on that pole over there. What do you think? Perhaps though it's too early to get you to do something like that. Maybe next time...<</jill>> You flush as you imagine yourself on that pole, dancing sexily for Jill's entertainment. Your clothes coming off piece by piece as Jill looks at you with arousal. You feel your pussy getting wet just at the thought and a little moan slips from your lips.<<if $player.tg is true>><<set $player.fem += 2>>What the hell is wrong with me?

She moves behind you and slides her arms around you, pressing herself against your back. You can feel her nipples poking into your back as she whispers, her hot breath washing across your neck as you stare at the pole. <<jill>>Picture it. You're up there. Swaying to the music, grinding against the pole. I'm watching you. My desire for you obvious. You feel like you're in control of my desire but you're up there for me. To please me. To show yourself off to me.<</jill>> In the back of your mind you wonder why these kinds of things keep happening and why they arouse you so damned much. You know it shouldn't, this isn't why you're in this town but you just can't help it. The warnings you've gotten about this town's corruption flash through your mind but all of that ceases to matter as Jill's fingers stroke gently over your belly. Her right hand slides down to your bare thigh, stroking it gently, nails dragging slowly across the skin causing goosebumps to raise in their wake. <<link "Moan with growing arousal.">> <<ctpAdvance "Jill4">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> <<set $player.dominance -= 1>> <<set $player.corruption += 1>> /* This situation increases both your submission and dominance. */ Jill grins as her fingers slide higher over your thigh.

For a moment she teases that she might slide her fingers under your dress but then she seems to change her mind and she abruptly stands back. <<jill>>Next time my dear.<</jill>> She holds out the blindfold and you swallow before putting it on. She takes your hand and leads you through the club. You're too distracted by the intensity of what just happened to pay much attention and it all passes in a whirlwind. You barely even notice the ride back or when she removes your blindfold and gently kisses you before you step out of her car. She waves as you head inside, her knowing smile telling you she senses how much of an effect she had on you. <<link "You're home and the date is over."

You hold on as the ride gets bumpier, the bike's seat grinding into your groin when it hits every bump. You bite your lip and look around curiously. You pass by a mobile home but don't stop at it. Eventually, she stops the bike near a small building with a large antenna on top of it. <<anya>>Come on Princess.<</anya>> Anya helps you off the bike and you walk a bit bow legged in her wake as she leads you to the building.

Next to the table they sit on is a box of what looks like vinyl records. <<anya>>It's mine. I guess it's techinically a pirate radio station but no one in this town is going to enforce it.

Your eyes move over the mix of records. The mix ranges from classic music from the sixties all the way to modern music from little bands you haven't even heard of. There aren't many records but even the ones you see surprise you. You motion to them as you continue to look them over. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>How did you get all of these records? And why is there such a mix of styles and decades? Actually, where did you get all of this?

He seems to be one of this town's major sources of imports after all, if not the only one.

You're not even sure how it happens but she manages to work your clothes off with one hand while the other grips your hair and she kisses you deeply. She moves behind you, kissing your neck as her hands caress and stroke over your soft skin. You let out a groan as the fingers of her right hand tease at your sex while her left hand cups and squezes your breast, the leather of her glove rubbing against your swollen nipple.

You wrap your arms tightly around her and lay your head on your shoulder as you go back, wondering if you made the right choice or not. Finally, she arrives back at the Bed and Breakfast and you get off of the bike, still a bit stiff from riding on the bike.

She then sits in her chair and scoots forward, spreading her legs widely as she does. You sink to your hands and knees and crawl closer. You can smell the musky scent of her arousal as you get close and she just watches you. You bring your face closer to her sex and after only a moment's pause you stretch out your tongue, tasting her folds for the first time. She is wet for you and your tongue slides along her sex while she closes her eyes and makes low sounds of approval. <<anya>>The first time I saw you I knew I wanted you like this.

You turn your attention to the swollen nub of her clit and wrap your lips around it, suckling hard on it. Her muscles tighten and she throws her head back, panting. <<anya>>That's it you little slut. Next time I'm going to have you on your knees while I'm on air. Maybe I won't announce on air that it's you but people will know someone was here.

She eventually sags in her chair and smiles at you, lifting your face from between her legs.

You cry out in a mix of pleasure and pain as he suckles your blood. Some part of you is yelling inside to stop him, to stop this but you still feel strangely lethargic and can't seem to make this stop.

You quiver and cry out as an unexpected orgasm washes over your form causing your inner walls to spasm around his driving shaft. He pulls his fangs free once more and you feel the oddly cool sensation of his seed spraying deeply inside of you.

He gives a playful salute with two fingers then turns to walk deeper into the alley. <<nicholai>>Come Bela, we have done what we set out to do.<</nicholai>> The woman walks quickly from the mouth of the alley. She stares at you as she passes and slowly licks her lips, her eyes roaming over your still trembling form. A stern look from Nicholai has her hasten to catch up to him, luckily for you. You look down and frown, seeing the blood on your breasts. You quickly find something to wipe it off and are surprised to see no wounds from his fangs. You frown in confusion but hurriedly dress and leave the alley just as the first rays of the sun begin to peek out from the eclipse. <<link "Make your way back to the main square."

I work at the local newspaper, the Solomon Falls Herald. I wanted to talk to you because I'd heard we had a new person in town. That's a very rare occurrence. The last new person we had was a writer named Alex Knight and he...well, he's not in town anymore. I also heard you're looking for Lisa Patterson. Oh, don't look surprised. As I said, I am a reporter. <</ellie>> Something about the way she spoke of the writer caught your attention. You're a bit tempted to ask her what she meant but her mentioning Lisa has both caught your attention and made you suspicious. You weren't officially hired by anyone. There shouldn't be any records of why you are here. <<if $events.sherifflisatruth is true>> Sure, you told the Sheriff why you were here but you doubt his first action was to share that with a reporter. <<else>>You didn't even tell the Sheriff what your true business was here in Solomon Falls.<</if>> So how does she know? You don't believe her 'I'm a reporter!' excuse and you can't help thinking of how Janice seemed to know you were coming even though you hadn't told anyone. Could Ellie have had a dream about you too?

Working for the sheriff might give you access to resources that could be useful. Working for the Mayor might also give you access to resources. The diner would probably be the easiest of the jobs but less helpful in your investigation unless Lisa spent a lot of time there.

Then you may go for the day. I'll show you where I'll put your collar. When you come in, put it on. When you hear me enter the room, assume the kneeling position I showed you.<</riley>> You do as she says, holding her as she runs her fingers through your hair. After a brief moment of indecision you plant several kisses all over her belly, working your way to her lower belly until you can just feel her pubic hair brushing against your chin.

You hear a wet splashing sounds outside and suddenly you realize, the bed isn't swaying. You're on a boat! Your mind briefly flashes back to the odd whispering voice and the sensation of some kind of slimy hand grabbing your leg when you were in the water and your heart slams in your chest. <<say "????">>Welcome back to the land of the living.

More...natural somehow. You can't put your finger on it but you definitely feel like it's more casual interest than some of the other people you've encountered in this town.

<<ctp "paJoshD7p2">> [img["images/events/paDay7JoshuaP3.jpg"]] You do as he instructed, turning around and bending over the desk, pulling your panties and shirt down. He lifts your skirt up over your hips and smacks your ass with his left hand while his right caresses your inner thighs. You think back to that moment in the Patterson house when you tried to steal that key and all tha that has come from it with an internal sigh. You tense slightly as his fingers brush over your swollen, wet pussy lips. <<joshua>>I knew it, nothing but a little slut. You've been aching for a cock all day I'm sure.<</joshua>> <<link "Bite your tongue to keep from snapping at him as you hear his zipper lower.">> <<ctpAdvance "paJoshD7p2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/paDay7JoshuaP4.jpg"]] Joshua tugs your shirt totally off, discarding it along with his jacket and tie as he moves up behind you. His right hand fists into your hair and he grips your shoulder with his left. In one single thrust he is balls deep inside you and you cry out in a mix of surprise and reluctant pleasure. He begins to thrust hard within you, his pelvis slamming into your hips with every thrust as he puts all he has into it. This is little more than a hate fuck and to your shame you're getting aroused by it! <<joshua>>Yes! Take my cock! I knew from the moment I saw you I'd eventually have you bent over and taking my cock!<</joshua>> <<link "Grit your teeth to muffle your moans.">> <<ctpAdvance "paJoshD7p2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/paDay7JoshuaP5.jpg"]] You almost scream when you hear the door to the outer office rattle. Luckily it seems that it is locked, you don't remember doing that but are thankful it happened regardless. You hear a male voice call out, muffled by the door. You grit your teeth, trying to muffle your moans as the person seems to hesitate outside, knocking once or twice more. Joshua whispers to you in a husky voice. <<joshua>>Maybe we should let them in so they can enjoy seeing you do what you do best? Would you like that?<</joshua>> <<link "Sigh in relief as you hear the person at the door walk away.">> <<ctpAdvance "paJoshD7p2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/paDay7JoshuaP6.jpg"]] You're not sure how long he slams into you. You're wincing before long, well aware you're going to be sore when this is over. Your thighs are pressing hard into the desk and you can already feel bruises forming as he takes his pleasure. Your skin glistens with built up sweat as he continues to take you and you do what you can to muffle your whimpers and moans, not wanting Joshua to have the satisfaction of hearing them. An untold number of minutes later your vision dims as a powerful orgasm rocks you. You feel his cock twitching inside you and he quickly pulls out, most of his seed spraying on your ass and thighs. <<joshua>>It wouldn't do to knock you up. Not now at least. I need to go but we'll have to spend time together another time I think.<</joshua>> You sag onto your desk as he dresses and leaves without another word. You limp over to the door and lock it behind him, letting out a long shuddering breath. <<link "Clean up and wait for the Mayor to arrive." "PA Job Day 7 p2">> <<addhours 1>> <</link>> <</ctp>>

<<ctp "paDay7Josh">> [img["images/events/paDay7Joshua.jpg"]] Joshua steps slightly closer and his left hand rises you caress your bicep and cup your elbow, his thumb rubbing on the inside of it. His right hand moves to gently stroke over your waist and you're caught so off-guard you shrink in on yourself briefly as a shiver runs down your spine. For the first time you can remember he smiles at you, his eyes on you as you look away from him. <<joshua>>I think we both know that as a Town Elder I can make your life rough. Even more than my son I have the ear of important people. If I tell them you tried to steal from the Pattersons and are posing for naughty photos with Ray, yes, I know about those. well, I'm afraid you'll lose a lot of the trust you currently enjoy won't you? <<if $events.sherifflisatruth eq false>>The Sheriff already doesn't trust you because you lied to him.

You're going to bend over this desk, pull down your panties, unbutton and pull down your shirt and I'm going to fuck you like the little slut you are. Or I'll be forced to share what I know with the other town elders. I wonder how Roy and Van Horn will look at you after they know you are nothing but a dishonest thief who is trying to seduce the father of the very dead girl you came to town to find?<</joshua>> <<link "Sigh softly and do as he says."

He hurries into his office, barely giving you a nod and you hear his raised voice coming from his office a few minutes later. It sounds to you like he is on the phone arguing with someone. You debate getting up to move to his door and listen in but before you get the chance you hear the phone slam. A few minutes later he calls your name and you walk into his office. He is leaning back against the couch, sipping an alcoholic drink when you walk in. He looks tense and his eyes are narrow as you stop before him. <<mayor>>The Sheriff told me about your weekend and how you nearly died and found Lisa's body.

You expected it to be a rock song or perhaps heavy metal and to be extremely loud. It's not though you can tell that the bass has been turned up. You don't really recognize the music though it is clearly a dance track and has a sensual sound to it. You move to the music, letting it guide you, your eyes settling on Joshua as you begin to spin around the pole, your heart pounding. <<joshua>>Stop teasing me.

Your movements become more sinuous as you lose yourself further in the music and the moment. Your head falls back as you slide against the pole, feeling a slow arousal growing within you. You bite your lip as you try to deny these feelings, a bit confused about them but unable to deny they are there. <<link "Slide off your skirt.">> <<ctpAdvance "stripperDay7p2">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/stripperDay7p9.jpg"]] You sway your hips back and forth and let your skirt slide down your legs. You kick it aside then press yourself against the pole, slowly sliding down it until you are crouching behind it, looking past it to your rapt audience. Joshua is clearly enjoying and your cheeks flush as you notice a tent in the front of his dress pants.

You blow out a breath and finish dressing, turning when the door opens again. You see Damien standing there, staring at you thoughtfully. Finally, he shakes his head and smirks slightly before speaking. <<say "Damien Lacey" $npcSay.damien>>I can't decide if you're brave or stupid girl. Anyway, I have a driver waiting to take you home.

Joshua strips off his clothing faster than you would have thought possible and when you near he grabs you by your hips, pulling you against him. His hard cock rubs against your belly as he pulls you closer and you instinctively lean back. His eyes gleam as he smirks before speaking. <<joshua>>Why so tense <<print $player.name>>?

There is a brief pause as you feel his cock rubbing against your sex. To your own surprise you're slightly damp, thankfully so, as he begins to slide between your lower lips. His hard shaft slides deeply within you and his left hand grips your hair tightly as he begins to thrust within you. <<joshua>>Nice and wet for me!

His hard shaft throbs in your heated depths as he takes you. You hear his hard breathing as he rocks against you and you let out a soft moan of your own as things get more intense. His cock spears deeply into you and you wince slightly at the intensity of his thrusts. Your fingers scrape against the leather of the chair you're still bent over and you try to hold back your own growing arousal. <<joshua>>Mmmm...this is good pussy.

Are you ready for my cum?<</joshua>> <<link "Groan as you feel his cock swell within you.">> <<ctpAdvance "stripperD7Joshua">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/stripperDay7JoshuaP4.jpg"]] He hammers hard into you for a few more minutes and then pulls his cock out of you, spraying his hot seed onto your belly. You manage to hold back a cry of pleasure as the unexpected feeling of his seed coating your silken skin coaxes a small orgasm from you. You pant softly as he pulls away from you, pausing only to slap your hip as he grabs his clothing and begins to dress. <<joshua>>I'm looking forward to the next time I see you.<</joshua>> <<link "Gasp as he grabs your hair and pushes you towards the loveseat.">> <<ctpAdvance "stripperD7Joshua">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/events/stripperDay7JoshuaP5.jpg"]] You get to your feet and look about for your clothing and, more importantly, something to wipe the cum off of your belly. You glance over at the door when it opens and blush slightly as Damien walks in, closing the door behind you. He looks at you and nods his approval as you begins to clean yourself with some cocktail napkins before getting dressed again. <<say "Damien Lacey" $npcSay.damien>>Joshua was happy with your...performance.

However, when you step outside you see a car waiting outside your new home. You're unsure how they knew to find you here and not at the Bed and Breakfast. The driver opens the rear door for you and you are drives you without comment. The windows in the back of the car are tinted so dark you can't see outside and there is also a window between you and the front seat. You frown at this but decide to put up with it for now. Eventually the car stops and you are taken into the Royal Flush and led into a side room. This room turns out to be a very nice office. An African American man is seated behind the desk and he motions for you to step closer, looking you over thoughtfully as you approach. <<if $metPeople.roy and $metPeople.sharelle>> <<say "Damien Lacey" $npcSay.damien>>Hello there.

His eyes roam over your form without a bit of shame as you turn and you can nearly feel his gaze burning into you.

You do what you can to make it sexy and strike a pose. Your nipples harden in the cool air of his office and his eyes are drawn to them. He grins and leans back in his chair, staring at you silently as you stand, displayed, before him. Finally he nods slowly to himself and surprises you by clapping slowly for a few seconds. <<say "Damien Lacey" $npcSay.damien>>Beautiful.

A few minutes into it Damien lights a cigar, refills his drink and moves to sit at the same table you're working at. He watches you, his eyes moving between the papers and your breasts, a smirk occasionally curling his lips. After several minutes you finish and lift the paper, looking it over to be sure you didn't miss anything. He sets his drink down and reaches out for the paper, looking it over silently for a few minutes before setting it down. <<say "Damien Lacey" $npcSay.damien>>Looks good. Alright, I'll have one of the girls take you to the stage you'll be on. You already have a gentleman who heard you'll be here and wants to see you.

<<set $gameStart to true>> <<ctp "arrival1">> [img["images/ArrivingInSolomonFalls.jpg"]] You've been driving for hours now. You're heading to the small town of Solomon Falls and it is difficult to find but you have directions to follow and now you are on what you hope is the last road leading to this isolated town. It's chilly but thankfully not as bad as it could be at this time of year. Oddly, the trees even look green. You look out at the passing forest as you make your way towards the town. It's nestled on the Maine coastline but only has one road leading to it as far as you know and has a reputation among those interested in the paranormal like you and your father. They are obsessed with this town but some say it doesn't even exist. Considering the odd looks you got at the last gas station when you asked about the town, you're starting to wonder yourself. <<link "Think about why you came here.">> <<ctpAdvance "arrival1">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> Your little red car sputtered a time or two as you wound through the forest and you pat the dashboard reassuringly. You dig through your notebook and pull out the photo that had come to you in an envelope that only had your name on it. No return address, no stamp, not even your address. It came with a hand written letter that said only "Find Lisa Patterson." Enclosed in the envelope were the directions you are following now, the name of a boarding house and some newspaper clippings about her disappearance and articles from the local paper that implied she was quite popular in her high school. Homecoming queen. Cheerleader. She seemed like the perfect girl but you had a feeling there was more to her than met the eye. Normally that wouldn't be enough for you to drive all this way. After all, you are an investigator who specializes in the paranormal like your father, you don't go looking for missing people. But you couldn't resist this trip. <<say $player.fullname $player.saypic>>After all, it's not everyday you're invited to the mythical Solomon Falls.<</say>> You briefly glance from the road to <<link "look at the picture of the missing girl.">> <<ctpAdvance "arrival1">> <</link>> <<ctpNext clear>> [img["images/people/Lisa_Photo.png"]] Written on the back, in the same handwriting as the letter is "Ray and Grace Patterson.

They stood between the Constantins and our family and kept the town from being torn apart by our rival forces. Feeling drawn towards balance is not a bad thing but I should caution you. With the Constatins becoming powerful again balance requires a force of order and good. Or the Constantins to be weakened. Beware child, corruption is a seductive force. It will offer you power but in the end it will likely doom you as well as the town. Time grows short so I must tell you one last thing child. Beware of Nicholai. He will be friendly and try to sway you into believing he is on your side. He is full of darkness and always was, even before he became a vampire. He is always scheming and soon you will find yourself entangled in his webs if you are not able to outsmart him. Be careful, there is one close to you he hopes to seduce. Finally, Izabela's fate could be among your most important decisions going forward.<</dreamer>> Van Horn nods to you as Corvus speaks but he says nothing.

His lips keep moving but you don't quite hear what he says as it just seems to soak into your mind until he stops and stares at you.

Your heart pounds and then you stiffen, your whole body shaking as an orgasm claims you. You arch your spine crying out in pleasure and a moment later you feel a liquid heat deep inside you as his shaft twitches and gets even harder. You moan as he slowly pulls back out of you, his length slowly easing from your spasming pussy. He looks down and smiles as he slowly stands and moves next to the altar. <<father>>Very good girl. You won't notice my seed inside you. You will only know that you feel warm and pleasant between your legs and you will crave this feeling from now on.

Some distant part of your mind briefly worries that he came inside your unprotected womb but the worry fades quickly as you lose awareness of his seed within you. <<father>>Seeing my seed leaking from you is something I don't think I will ever get tired of.

You think as you look at the picture more closely then turn your gaze slowly to Roy.

There are many, many legends about this man. The official story is that he died trying to help fight a plague that ravaged Solomon Falls and that is probably what happened. But there have been rumors going back, well, to the founding of this town really, that claim that one of the other two families had him murdered. There are also rumors that he died on purpose in some kind of ritual that was intended to bind his spirit to this town so he could protect it from beyond the grave.

It strikes you as a bit odd since as far as you know the family has been dead for many years. <<roy>>If Doctor Corvus was a good man, Nicholai Constantin was everything he was not. Nicholai was the last son of the Constantin family and after his death it was discovered he did many dark things in his manor. No one even knows where he is buried, his last surivving servants built a crypt somewhere. None of them ever told where it was... There were rumors about that family even from the days when the town was founded. To be honest, I can't even figure out why the Van Horns and the Corvuses allowed that family to found the town with them. Putting aside the rumors and the legends, there are records of the Constantins being involved in many dark periods of this town's early history. <</roy>> Roy shakes his head and refuses to speak more of the Constantins so you decide it's best to move on. <<link "Ask him another question.">> <<run Engine.play("library topics")>> <<addmins 5>> <</link>> <<linkreplace "Tell him you need to go.">> <<replace "#roytalk1">> <<roy>>Of course, you're welcome back anytime.

Down below, you brush your thumb against the swollen nub of your clit. You carress it and your touch brings you to the height of ecstasy.

/* Possible research subjects: Topic about the fire that killed Karl's family if have secret karl4 Obviously you could look up articles about Lisa. Perhaps research the Mayor. Maybe Lou's past. I want world building articles about important events in the town's past. When was the lighthouse built? Are there any strange happenings, etc? You know there was a "great fire" sometime in the past, what old town doesn't have that one disaster? What I would love (I know it is impractical) is a text search bar where you can put in names and places you encounter from the town and see what happens. Like an old text adventure game where you had to remember the important nouns! Maybe even little things, like birth announcements or graduations, etc. All helps to sell the setting. How about researching articles of that mysterious vampire founding family, that have just entered the story. Maybe put in some hints at certain paths, for example an ad for the doctor or the church? Maybe a article on history of the town It would be funny to have a ''special'' article about the MC s**ual adventure, but like with cheap censor of her face. Something like : ''Character'' was seen going to the hotel with the mysterious miss C, are they having an affair? Learn more in our next issue! The same way you have player input set the variables for their character names, you use for a new variable: research topic. It takes the player to a new screen where a series of "if/then/else" statements compare the research variable to a list of terms you want and then displays the text and/or pictures for the scene. As for the terms themselves, tell the player to restrict themselves to the people and places in their notebook. It is up to them to copy/paste correctly. It also reinforces that those specific people and places are noteworthy. If you want to include easter eggs or unlock codes, this would also be a way of doing it. <<set $events.newspaperResearch to false>> - newspaperResearch variable to track what is being searched for.

Sometimes you will learn new things based on secrets you have discovered as you play so it might be worth researching things you've already researched in the past to see if there is anything new.
