Q: Huh. How exactly do you do your research anyway, Google? Or do you keep a copy of Telenecronomicon in the desk?
Archer starts to appear annoyed.
"Sometimes. It really depends on if we are dealing with a ghost, vampire, or something unheard of. Obviously if its a ghost its fairly easy to find a death certificate and such. Or else newspaper obituaries or stories -the later if it was a violent death.
As for vampires and the like. That can be a bit tougher especially if they differ from the pop culture variety in some form or another. A lot of info I use come from books I found while hunting around Prague and Venice. There are a surprisingly large amount of occultist scholars out there.."
Anyway, still writing the big first post for the game proper but it's slow for a few reasons. First of all, honestly, I'm a bit bummed out that the interview sputtered out and died. That took wind out of my sails. Second, I'm having trouble with the post itself, God knows why. Stupid, stupid me! Finally, and I can barely type it without bursting into tears with shame, Risen came out and I am its bitch. I was going to try it out for an hour or so to see if it's good or not and all of a sudden two days have passed, my vision is doubling from the lack of sleep and concerned relatives are trying to break into my room. They shall not pass!
So, uh, that's the update. I'll try to write the post again in a few. Blah.

Well now I feel better. Guess I'll take another shot at that interview again
DIKA: The Montezuma case. This is when we famously exorcised the ghost of Genghis Kahn from a grocery store. We don't know what he was doing there, but we DO know he had a penchant for cherry preserves.
We lured him out with Cherry creamsicles, then tried to fight him. We only had half the technology we have now, so for the most part we kept throwing things, and they just went through him, and then he'd stab us, and it'd go through us, and not much got done.
Finally, Vin offered him fifty bucks to just leave, and he agreed.
We called it the Montezuma case because Vin's not good with historical figures.
even if we are skipping, i wanted to answer this question. i can only imagine the tragic outcome of us not knowing what the fuck we're doing

I might be a litte inebriated! Lets dothis1
VIN: Now hold on just a minute here, that was not the Montezuma Case. That was the Mexican Gold Case because all we got paid for it was that case of Cuervo that was mysteriously undamaged. No no no, the Montezuma Case case was the one with that wailing child at the Castle's Coasters amusement park. The little devil child stuck in the third turn of the Jules Verne Slide. We had to exorcise the whole ride and then send a very fat man down the tube and then we chased that little banshee around the park for a good four hours. The place was closed half the day! God, it was the best time I've ever had. No lines, no crowds, no one telling you not to eat so much funnel cake it'll make you sick. I don't remember why we called it the Montezuma Case. It probably had something to do with the bathrooms. Yuck. bUT i'M POSITIVELY SUre that was the Case of the NotezumA Case.
Also.
Q: Fascinating, even if, according to my sources, a blatant lie. But I do get why you wouldn't want to talk about the real deal. Anyway, what do you feel about your competition? I hear Billy Bob van Helsing of the van Helsings is in town. Are you worried?

VIN: Ha! That man is a hack! A buffoon! A grandstanding, over-hyped, inconsiderate jerk! His greatest expertise in the area of the supernatural is to show up and take all the credit. Do you think the spectral band that inhabited Acalasia's Bar and Grill to be willingly escorted off the premises? No, he went in there and blew the place up! They had nowhere to play! That is not how true men of the world deal with that which is beyond all mortal understanding. That man does not comprehend the least bit of what he does. It's all, Stake This, and Stab That, and Light that on Fire, and We'll be taking a 95% commission here. He's unbearable!

Okay, so I didn't have a chance to get drunk.
But I have been up for ~30 hours now! And it took me a full minute to find the tilde, woo
Rocnroll I ain't fixing no typos here - takes too long to stare at em
Oh man, I hope my Phalla posts make more sense
than this
Q: Touche. I have to admit, I am still curious - why the Haunted House?
WIN: It was a gift. It really was. That Mansion satrted life as the home of Rene Claire De Benes back in 19... 19... well, sometime shortly after the turn of the century. It's a fine odl home! He was a brilliant actor for his generation. De Benes, not the house. And he moved out here once he got out of the business and retired. Something of a recluse actually. Didn't really like to go out in public, for fear of.. the public. I guess. Anyway, after he died a couple of young men by the name of Stanislaw bought the house which was mightly fallen into desrepair by that time. Local legends had spoken up.. er... woken up? Well, whatever it is that legends do. They popped up! Yes, popped up! About Rene and his old haunted Mansion. And these Sanislaw boys came by and bought the old place. Fixed it up as a sort of gag, and then eventually turned the whole property - all the acerage into an amusement park.
Well, years later the park is gone, the rides are shut down, but the House is still here. A part of history! I couldn't help but feel delighted to buy it. Plus, it's got all thses old ghosts you can chat to when the insomnia comes on. Much better than sheep says I! I say. one of the two. I sait it.

Maybe I should throw in more questions or something.

no, no, let's do the interview. no, I insist.
(for real let's do it, the interview is always a fun part)
Thought you were losing interest , Mega.
My vote is for "really embarassing."
Underpants gnomes

Do not edit. Leave it in its glory!

I think "Case of the NotezumA Case." is my personal favorite.
Also known as the Case of the Luxor Crate.
EIGHT
Also, anyone besides Vin want give us their interpretation of why we live and work in a Haunted House?
Nope!
And get drunk first.
I mean it.
Do not write this without being drunk.
Ringo's Sister: Why are you drinking all of our beer?
Ringo: THE INTERNET! TOLD ME TO!
Muahahahaha!
Ringo's Brother-In-Law: Sounds good to me!
