[Voice of Thren]

I had a lot of fun making the various audio logs and handouts for the BatIM version of The Burning Stars, though back when we were running it I only shared the Tarot cards since most of these seemed, uh, EXTREMELY NICHE in their appeal. BUT HEY, I figure you can’t get much more niche than a dedicated blog so HAVE SOME BatIM CoC AUDIO LOGS!

The JDS boys had amnesia for a good chunk of the first scenario, so when they first woke up to find themselves apparently in Haiti??? they had no idea how or why they were there.

Hum, sounds like exactly the sort of situation where being from a studio with a weird habit of recording thoughts and spiels on audio logs that just get left around everywhere could come in handy, huh?

I’m sure Joey foresaw this as a potential benefit all along…

These first two logs were found in the hotel room the boys had apparently been staying at, among Joey and Sammy’s things.

I’m sure this is all fine and nothing to worry about…

Voice of JOEY DREW: Fellas, Bendy is something special, and his Halloween episode needs something special too.

Something…authentic.

No sheet-ghosts and trick-or-treat for us, no sirree! We’re going to research rich and authentic traditions from around the globe, in this case, the Fet Gede!

I even brought Bendy festival masks we can wear to show our team spirit and hand out to the locals. There’s always time to build the brand!

Henry can sketch the local designs, Sammy can absorb the local sound, it’ll be great! Big things are on the horizon for Joey Drew Studios!

Oh, the masks are mandatory, by the way.

Voice of SAMMY LAWRENCE: A whole new country, and it’s like I never left. Except now with humidity you could cut with a knife, and mosquitos. Fantastic.

Still no sleep, either. Apparently if it isn’t deadlines, it’s Joey Drew himself ranting at three in the morning, muttering about “dreams coming true” and “sharing your soul through your work.”

Though with our GENT friend’s snoring, does it even matter? What’s a GENT liaison even doing on a “creative research getaway”, or whatever Joey calls it, anyways?

Fine…Joey wants me to research the local sounds? If I’m not getting any sleep anyways, I hear there’s no Prohibition in Haiti. Besides, you always find the best music in the dark.
