great to see you all this week, welcome to

EPISODE 22.5! "my_house.AshTrLn"

[which, if you were quick enough, you would've been able to see live on my twitch because I accidentally hit "start stream" instead of "start recording". how fun.]

so, our session starts exactly where they left off, in the Protektor archives room, with Lilith Itou still present, and Eve taped to the ceiling missing her face. standard things so far, Pixie has a chat with Lilith, the rest of the party either forgets to, or intentionally doesn't tell Pixie that Lilith is a walking corpse. my bet is that they forgot to be honest, although there is a non zero chance I simply haven't told them yet, in which case, sorry for the spoilers.

anyway, they notice a door at the end of the room, one that wouldn't look out of place in a house built in our time, white painted wood with siding made of the same material, but in a facility consisting entirely of thick concrete and steel it is very out of place. the space they find on the other side is strange. an impossibly dark hallway, made of a strange grey ashy stone, stretching out for miles, ever shifting, the items not directly held or on their bodies begin to crumble and disappear, as if consumed into the House itself[side-note, I wish coloured text here for presumably obvious reasons] as they continue they find several oddities, such as the way that despite the fact that they think they're moving in a straight line, they're going is seemingly a circle, or the doorways that appear and disappear at random, they eventually end up finding a rifle, not before finding the body of one of the last guy that ended up here, as well as some tapes and his rifle, before going upstairs into.... the house. sparsely decorated, as if only meant to be seen from the outside. the first floor is relatively normal though, the sitting room has a grand total of two armchairs and fuck-all else in the room, the dining room is both directly in view of the street so obviously it's the most well furnished, set as if just in time for lunch before the people in question there just blipped out of reality, the kitchen is mostly fine too, except for the way a bunch of the cupboards and cabinets simply do not work. in the fridge is nothing except a long description of a film called the Navidson record. while this is the point in the report that I drop the pretences and state that this session was a massive, blatant homage/rip-off of the book "House of leaves" which I have been reading recently despite it being mildly incomprehensible, this is also the point of the report here that I mention two things, 

1. Fox and Pixie were onto my ass since the hallway, except both of them thought it was a reference to the map "My_house.WAD", not the book.

2. This session had the most derailment out of any session. Not an admonishment by the way, this lot had me giggling like a stalling Diesel engine but still.

- Pixy is now *Aware*[tm] of her Player {it was inevitable}

the second floor of the building is more of what Pixy was expecting, the concrete, the reds & greys, etc however the first room they enter, a children's bedroom that is very clearly ripped from some house in the nation and Pixie is just...….. thoroughly befuddled. absolutely flummoxed. "why would a child want to draw???" or whatever goes on in the minds of those National units, the next room was an office, taken right out of the Nation seemingly, with a sign that says "Navidson Realty" on the back of the door. the only notable thing in this room was a handgun in a desk drawer, and that was when we ended the session.

and also that was when I realised that I was streaming on accident instead of recording.

see all of you later this week!
