Streets of Silent Hill Nobody responds to your calls, and the footsteps don't come back. The fog around you keeps swirling in the wind, and the air seems to get a bit colder. It seems that you're going to pursue your new friend on foot...

Alan Cross "Tch...dammit, he's not making this easy for us." I pulled my jacket tighter against me as the air chilled. "Looks like we're going after him."

Streets of Silent Hill You run towards the nonexistent footsteps, your shoes kicking up loose bits of asphalt as you move. You're not sure if you're still on Hunter's tail, but you still try to catch up. Something, though, makes you stop momentarily. You can barely make out through the thick mist a pair of lights. One red, one blue, both spinning in place. A police cruiser? People? Maybe that's where Hunter ended up...

Leila Shigane FP 2/3 "Huff...huff...son of a...where's he going?!" I'm pretty fit, but keeping up with this guy is making me tired! I...is it the fog? How far have we been running? "Geez...huh?" No way. No freaking way. Am I home again? "Police! Thank god, I though I was completely lost! Hey, Alan, over here! I found a patrol car!" If nothing else, it should have some better maps, a GPS...if Alan's right and he'll need that knife, maybe I can get a shotgun out of the trunk...is Alan right, though?

Alan Cross I huffed and wheezed as I tried to keep up with Miss Leila. "A patrol car? Why would there be a car flashing its lights alone out here? ....Could it be to guide people through the fog like a lighthouse?" I shrugged and slowed down as we approached the car. "Hope there's not an officer in there. I've got a couple unpaid speeding tickets, heh."

Streets of Silent Hill You run towards the lights, only to uncover a grisly sight. Like you suspected, the lights are coming from a police car the words Silent Hill Police Department written down the sides, with its lights activated and spinning. The car, however, violently collided with a sign for a place called 'Brookhaven Hospital' to the right of the road. The front of the vehicle has been badly wrecked, and bits of concrete and metal litter the asphalt. The driver's side door hangs loosely off of its hinges, and if you listen closely, you can hear some sort of radio static coming from the car. Odd...

Alan Cross "gently caress. This is bad." It looked like the driver of the car had flown the coop. How odd. "Maybe if we look in the car, we can find something useful." I crouched down and started investigating the car. When you write mysteries, you tend to get a sense for a scene. Investigating the wreckage. <Krysmbot> Waffleman, +-+-+4 = 4 If this counts as a crime scene for my stunt Elementary!, that makes it a 6.

Seems like the kinda thing Elementary! would apply to, so sure. Alan The accident seems pretty simple. Judging by the skid marks from the tires and the way the car crashed against the Brookhaven sign, the officer driving it saw something in the street and suddenly swerved to avoid it and ended up colliding with the concrete sign. The interior of the car has seen some distress, but nothing too bad. However, in the drivers seat you find something odd. A pistol, with the word Police engraved on the slide, has been left in the seat, along with a handheld police radio that seems to be the source of the annoying static. As you reach to grab the weapon, you see a rather large beetle scurry across the leather seat and climb down to the floor of the car. Your first sign of life in the town, you guess.  Pistol Simple police-issued handgun. Simple to aim and shoot, but not much stopping power. Can use any Box of Ammo to reload it if necessary. As you expect the gun, you begin to hear footsteps again. Hunter, again? Though, these don't sound much like footsteps, more like claws against asphalt... The static from the radio grows stronger.

Alan Cross "Well, poo poo. Looks like I'm armed to the teeth. Don't report me for not having a permit, okay?" I was about to stash the pistol, but at that noise, I decided to keep it out. "Hey! Hunter, is that you?!"

Alan When the words 'Hunter' pass your lips, you hear a low growl, interrupted by the sound of something choking, from the direction of the steps. That's when you see it step out of the fog. It looks like a diseased dog that's seen better days; it walks with a noticeble limp, and the sounds it makes do not sound healthy; like a canine with breathing problems that struggles to make a noise. Before you can react, it breaks into an effotless run and leaps at you... [20:56] <Krysmbot> Kuma_Tan, /+/+ = 2 ...knocking you down, and sending the gun out of your hands! The dog pins you with it's suprisingly powerful arms and attempts to bite you with its jaws, but always stops close of your face, like it's taunting you.

Leila Shigane FP 2-1/3 "Oh my god..." Somehow my detective's nerve failed me; I found myself staring at the scene in some flabbergasted pose, imagining myself at the scene of this accident. I somehow manage enough wherewithal to pick up the radio, but not enough to keep Alan from taking the pistol...or getting attacked by--that thing! It takes the radio blaring a sudden burst of noise to get me out of it. "Huh?! Oh my god! Alan!" I dive for the fallen pistol, slide check it hurriedly, and take aim. I've done this before, I keep telling myself. Both to dogs and the occasional person...but is that thing a dog?! "Get away!" I shriek as I squeeze the trigger. First shot, here we go! Rolling Shoot to attack this...dog! [19:31:24] <Davin_Valkri> !r fudge+2 [19:31:24] <Krysmbot> Davin_Valkri, //--+2 = 0 Ew. Rerolling with Headstrong Former Detective.

Leila Stills from a similar incident you experienced flash before you eyes, and you fire the pistol, trying to avoid shooting Alan. The dog thing visibly reacts to the bullets piercing its thin flesh, recoiling and roaring and pain and getting off Alan to escape. Before it can turn away, you quickly aim and fire at the dog's skull, and it slumps over, dead. The radio you picked up quickly stops emitting static with an electrical crackle, and seems to turn off.  Radio Seems to react to...what was that? A monster? It emits static whenever those things are around.

I run over and push the dog-monster with the slide end of the pistol. "It's dead. Thank god. But it doesn't look like any loving rabid dog I've ever seen!"

Leila Shigane FP 1/3 Despite the situation, I can't help but smile back. "Thanks. You're...taking this pretty well." I grab the box, slide it open, and start reloading the pistol magazine. "Have you been, uh, jumped on by dogs before? Not, uh, rabid dogs, I hope." I don't really think it's rabid, but what other options are there? "Hang on a second." I slide the pistol away into my jacket, and pull up the radio, tapping the transmit button. This thing was broadcasting static earlier; can it still send? "Hello? Anybody over there?"

Leila After you re-attatch the battery hatch panel, the radio slowly crackles to life again, before going away as quickly as it came. The speech is heavily disorted and is broken up by bits of static. "C̷a̸l̶l̶i̷n̵g̸ ̵a̸l̶l̸ ̷-̵,̴ ̸c̶a̸l̴l̸-̸.̴.̶.̷-̵w̸i̵n̵ ̷m̸a̵n̶s̴i̷.̴.̵.̸M̴u̴n̵s̷o̷n̵.̶.̶

Streets of Silent Hill You slowly progress through the empty town, navigating using your map and whatever landmarks you can see through the fog. The only signs that the town is inhabited are the abandoned cars lining the streets; all about five years old, and most rusting. After a long while of walking in the dead town, you come across a T-intersection; according to the sign, it's Munson Street.

Leila Shigane FP 1/3 What was I expecting after the gas station and the fricking zombie dog? A welcoming committee? Banners? The cars seem less dated than the gas station's prices, but what the hell rusted them out so quickly? Did a hurricane blow through and flood the place or something? "Yeah...yeah, I can see that..." I point at the far corner even as I start walking over the intersection. "Maybe they're on the other side there. Hello?! What the hell is with this town?! Can anybody hear me?!" I wish I had a megaphone...

Steets of Silent Hill There's no response to your call. The town remains quiet. The only sound is the police siren from the crashed car down the street...except you're on a different road entirely. And it's getting louder. Abruptly, a police cruiser hurtles down Munson, sirens blaring, completely ignoring the two of you standing in the middle of the street. You weren't able to see the driver, or really anything about the car.

Streets of Silent Hill You run in pursuit of the car, north up Munson street. As you hurry up the road, it begins to lightly rain. Nothing bad, but the asphalt is starting to get slick. The air gets colder and colder by the second. After what seems like a long while of jogging, you come across a police roadblock, blocking the road with barricades and broken yellow tape lying on the ground. A little bit beyond it, you can see two more cruisers parked in the middle of the road. Kumaton fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Munson Street The street beyond the area features a semi-circle of police cruisers, plus the one you saw blazing ahead of you parked directly in front of an antiquated looking house. The door of it is hanging open loosely. As you step over the broken police tape, you notice that the radio has begun picking up faint static again.
