More scribbles from the Call of Cthulhu Bendy Adventure! (Boo’s been doing recaps/highlights over on his blog if you wanna know what we’ve been up to!) These ones are from session 2!

Pictured Above: after some fast-talking shenanigans from Joey, some military guards agreed to drive us to check out one of the people we’d apparently been talking to before losing a big chunk of our memories, and we found him, uh, very murdered… and didn’t manage to make it back to the car before that headache/passing out problem we’ve been having hit, and everyone passed out right outside the house in the rain for several hours. Since “we all conveniently passed out for reasons we don’t understand” is a pretty shaky alibi, we were interrogated by the guards about our involvement in the murder of a man we don’t remember while already pretty overwhelmed and cranky about everything else. Henry’s busy dissociating so Sammy’s deploying the weapon he knows best: DISMISSIVE SARCASM. Anyway TIL seatbelts weren’t factory-installed until like the 1950s!

Pictured Below: Sammy and Henry had a sort of unsettling, uh….. vIS I ON??? Sammy suddenly found his ID changed into a silhouette and dripping ink, but when he ran over to Henry to check if he was also seeing this, it turned out that Sammy in his entirety had ALSO been changed into a silhouette of a person…. anyway we all passed out and woke up with everything back to normal, which probably means it was nothing to worry about!!!

Have some out-of-context game quotes:

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (sketch-cryptid), and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[Henry] Oh!! That’s normal, and fine!!!

[GM] “Oh! Did you actually want to get a fortune this time?” she says.
[Joey] Yes.
[Sammy] What? No!
[Joey] Yes!

[GM] *pulls Death card* She says, “This card represents your past. It represents where you’re coming from, what you’ve learned, and what you’ve already experienced.”
[Sammy] *unimpressed* We’ve experienced death. Interesting.

[GM] *draws the Devil card* “The next card represents the present, where you are physically and mentally.”
[Sammy] That one seems right.
[Joey] *kicks Sammy under the table*

[GM] *draws Hanged Man* She says that inverted, this card represents selfishness, and egotism.
[Henry] Everyone glances at Joey,

[GM] The chattier guard asks, “So what are you doing here?”
[Sammy] Mind your business, Binoculars.
[GM] “I have a name!”
[Sammy] Mm-hm. *gets out of car*
[Joey] I’m sure you do! *also gets out of car*
[Henry] Henry is going to… quietly thank him as they go… let’s not offend our only ride…
[Sammy] They’re giving us a ride because they wanna EAVESDROP on us! WE’RE DOING THEM A FAVOUR!! For REASONS SAMMY DOES NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!

[GM] If Henry’s got the mirror out, you do see some gold on the door, but you can’t entirely make it out, because there is a decapitated rooster hanging in front of it.
[Sammy] Oh.
[Joey] Okay.
[Henry] Maybe he doesn’t need to know that bad!

[Sammy] Sammy’s gonna try really hard to get out of the house. I don’t know if he’ll make it, but he’s going to try!
[Joey] Joey is also going to be like TIME TO GO,
[Henry] Henry is probably going to be dragging Joey.
[Joey] Yeah, I was gonna say, if Henry doesn’t drag Joey, Joey’s going to be attached to Henry.
[Sammy] If you don’t leave, Sammy’s leaving you both!
[Henry] I’d expect nothing less!

[Sammy] What are you doing Henry, who are you sticking with? Or are you going to stay outside and become one with the lawn.

[Joey] Joey’s going to open the car door and go through the glove department– not department. Compartment.
[Joey] YES, our studio has many departments; the Art Department, the Music Department, and the Glove Department!

[Henry] I… ehhh… Henry doesn’t want to be accused of tampering with a murder scene.
[Sammy] Sammy’s gonna go tamper with a murder scene!

[Sammy] [ooc] Just go to a crime scene, take some things,
[Joey] It’s the 1930s, it’s fine.
[Sammy] They didn’t have crime scenes in the 1930s!

[GM] You get kind of a nod from the guard, and a “take care, yeah?” as you go, which is a step up!
[Joey] Joey won’t be completely cold shoulder to them, then.
[Sammy] Sammy will!
[Henry] Henry’ll–
[Sammy] Sammy will sneer at them!
[Henry] …Henry’ll just give them a tired “You too.”

[Joey] Joey is going to take the card on his person, and then put it next to this one in the book, and close the book.
[Sammy] The card he said he was going to destroy?
[Joey] Yes.
[Sammy] Okay, just checking.

[Sammy] [ooc] Joey’s going to steal all our stuff. For the greater good.

[Sammy] Well, if we want to lead the military’s little sheep to the organisation they’re looking for, this is a fairly good indication that we were not involved, and Thomas is playing the fool.
[Joey] [ooc] But we didn’t get the fool card…
[GM] That’s it, that ruins the plan then!
[Sammy] Well HEAVEN FORBID that we should deviate from the plan, laid out for us in the cards, that ends with tAKING TEN SWORDS IN THE BACK!

[Sammy] [ooc, summarising a relevant piece of writing we found] Okay, he says he wakes up in a labyrinth, uhh – did Buddy write this? “Terror gripped my soul,”… he was “wounded in spirit”…“I forgot who I was” – yeah I think this is Buddy traversing the Music Department!

[Sammy] When Sammy sees what’s happened to his ID he will… come inside looking, distressed? And go up to Henry, and show Henry,
[Sammy] Henry, do you see this?
[Henry] [to the GM] …Do I see it?
[GM] You do, the ID is a silhouette of Sammy, and indeed, to your eyes, Sammy looks like the picture.
[Sammy] …WHAT. PLEASE CLARIFY.
[Joey] A silhouette of Sammy walked in and asked ‘Do you see this’?
[GM] Yes, and thrust out an ID picture with another silhouette of Sammy. MAKE SANITY ROLLS! :D

[Joey] I’m going to take a simple phobia… in which, Joey’s not going to be able to handle being alone anymore.
[Sammy] …Maybe that’s for the best.
