Bowling alley Break In

what's up?

Several intrepid idiots students have planned a break in. After ducking out of Pocket's Party early, they make their way over to Elflock Lanes with the intention of going down into the basement where the missing students were found to do some investigating. Maybe even open a portal to hell, who knows?

how this works!

⬥ This event is open to: Trudy, Lionel, Viola, Mary Grace, Eddy, Audrey, Merlin, Armani, and Maisy.

⬦ WHAT’S UP?: It’s Friday night and you’ve opted to leave a Pocket Party to break into the local bowling establishment and attempt to open the locked secret hatch in its basement. What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What are you wearing for the occasion? How drunk are you? And most importantly, what items do you have on your person?

⬦ ON THE WAY: The rain comes down steadily as students make their way from Peckenpaugh into Elflock Falls. Everyone slips off the main road, traveling parallel to it in the woods so as not to be detected. A place for scenes between the Pocket Party and the investigation, when everyone thinks they know what tonight has in store, but before they actually do.

⬦ ELFLOCK LANES: Same as it ever is, only silent and dimly lit. Students make their way past the lanes and questionable hotdogs and rigged claw machine toward the door that leads down to the basement. Trudy unlocks it and students descend. It’s about as creepy as you’d expect: big, dark and packed with old bowling alley equipment, pins and broken bowling balls, smelly old rental shoes and setter parts. There’s a broken Snoop Crupp-themed pinball machine amid shelves and shelves of old decorations and boxes of flyers and ads for past events. And tonight, with students from all four houses willingly present, a hatch appears in the center of the concrete floor.

⬦ END OF THE NIGHT: TBD, as we don’t know what is going to happen. But a place for scenes on the way home or for back in the dorm rooms.

⬦ OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

WHAT'S UP, Lionel?

[lionellovelace]

Lionel Lovelace is all wrapped up. In a worn olive trench coat. In his thoughts. And in his feelings.

He hangs back during the walk. His mind won't stay still. He thinks of Mr. Qualls' memory he experienced earlier today. He thinks of his teacher. Of the other Lionel. Of their love and their loss. Of what happened thirty years ago. Of what they might find tonight. He tries to stop thinking. Fair or not, he wears the Qualls' family history like a tight turtleneck. A sense of personal responsibility that chokes him.

Lionel is stone cold sober, but puffs on a hand-rolled cigarette. The pockets of his trench coat contain loose-leaf tobacco, rolling paper, a matchbook from a bar called The Friend, his wand, his journal (inside which is a flyer from the greenhouse), a fountain pen, a small flashlight, spearmint chewing gum, a black silk mask with gold circle eyes and a golden keyhole mouth that makes his voice sound older, a can of compressed air, some money, his cellphone, and a laser pointer.
