I held the ticket in my hand as I scanned the room. There were clothes that definitely belonged to Bradley Speirs. There were knickknacks spread around. Cigarette butts. Empty beer cans. I could see on the red wallpaper that all of these things belonged to the deceased psychotic killer. None of t...

2023-10-24 04:03:29 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, now that I am ready to move forward, here are some things you should know.
In order to jumpstart views on RR after my hiatus ends, I will be doing daily posts for a while instead of 3 days a week. That means that for a while, the posts might be slightly shorter but come more ...
2023-10-24 04:01:26 +0000 UTC View Post“You will not believe what I just learned,” Miss Hart said as she rushed to the side of her best friend Mrs. Ford. “The bride did invite her family. They refused to show up. I just confirmed it.”
Mrs. Ford fanned herself with a draft copy of the wedding program. “The rehearsal has...
2023-10-16 08:15:34 +0000 UTC View PostI have one more Tale (tomorrow) I want to show you for now and then I will start Arc II 3-4 days after that. It's about time to get things back on schedule. I plan for chapters to come out daily for a while once they start so that will be fun. I will not start RR back up until we're caught up her...
2023-10-15 00:56:47 +0000 UTC View PostI admit the Tale I am working on is not ready. These things take time. This particular thing takes even more time, apparently.
I decided to give you something else instead, something I will never show to anyone who in not a Patron. I will show you a very rough scene that was cu...
2023-10-14 08:03:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe next chapter in Tales will be out tomorrow. It's a bit longer so it is taking longer.
In the mean time, consider heading over to Discord and voting on Antoine's Aspect choice. Give all of the options a fair shake please.
This Arc will feature a few chapters from his perspective. I...
2023-10-12 20:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostZara Fitzgerald waited as the phone rang. This phone number was one of the weird ones. For whatever reason, you had to wait a good 14 or so rings before you got the answering machine. Most of the time you could get to that machine in less than seven.
She knew how many rings it took because ...
2023-10-11 09:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time. Brent’s time to shine.
For thirty seconds, he was going to step in and be the hero. It wouldn’t look like it.
His new trope set him up to save the day in the most gruesome way. It was a self-sacrifice trope, one of the most powerful kinds of tropes in existence.
Understand that as Patrons, you risk being subjected to all sorts of spoilers and early reveals. That is a hazard of signing up. The following text is not what actually happens in the story exactly, but it does contain spoilers.
Anyway...
I need to get ahead in chapters, but I need yo...
2023-10-05 21:06:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis was rewritten for the start of Arc II

When we got back to the bed and breakfast, we were beat. Even after being fully healed when the storyline ended, we still walked miles into the middle of nowhere, literally. We were all tired. Antoine had gotten especially quiet.

2023-10-05 05:50:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe last post of the arc is tomorrow. I can't believe it. I spent every chapter until now just trying to get to this moment. Now I feel like I can breathe a little.
The schedule with normalize soon and may even speed up. I will be taking a short hiatus on RR after the arc is finished there....
2023-10-04 00:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostNo one said anything for a while other than Antoine saying he needed to go for a walk to clear his mind, but then he never actually did.
I knew that we were being manipulated, but when I saw the plan written out in black and white, it still surprised me. My mind tried to go in so many direc...
2023-10-02 11:58:54 +0000 UTC View Post“This doesn’t feel right,” I said. “Are we thinking Carousel did this?”
I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“What does that mean?” Antoine asked. “Who else would have done it?”
That was a good question. Carousel trying to kill everyone at the Lodg...
2023-09-30 08:23:02 +0000 UTC View PostI was dying.
Dead Man Walking as a trope was starting to look like a real bust. I lay there on the ground barely able to move. My statuses were flaring constantly, including the one labeled, “Dead.”
And yet I did not die. My sudden boost of grit prevented me from blacking out. My ...
2023-09-28 10:50:06 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this one was late.

I stared at the horrifying creatures before me. For a while, I was too terrified to even think about looking at their tropes on the red wallpaper. When I did, I was in for a shock. Usually, when I looked at the tropes of a high-level ene...
2023-09-26 17:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostI paced back and forth.
We needed to set the stage for Samantha’s trope to activate. How did we set up a shift that large? We weren’t just trying to invite in another group of criminals; we were trying to change the genre completely, shifting toward a supernatural storyline.
“I ...
2023-09-25 04:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostDue to some unforeseen circumstances, I will be unable to submit tonight's chapter in a timely manner. However, I will be posting two chapters soon. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Arc 1 will be completed in a handful of chapters. I can't wait to show you what everything has been buildin...
2023-09-24 01:56:36 +0000 UTC View PostMerritt paced back and forth, growing more distressed with each step. He muttered under his breath, cursing his brother, mostly. His hand never left his waistband where he kept his gun.
In the distance, I heard hounds howling and barking. I had heard them when we first arrived but had yet t...
2023-09-22 10:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostDina didn’t waste any time escaping.
The larger man with the yellow bandana, who had previously not had any important information on the red wallpaper other than “Grave Robber” now had the name “Tank,” Plot Armor 18.
He grabbed ahold of Kimberly and, after a quick instructio...

“So, you’re going out on a storyline already, huh?” Bobby asked after Dina had tracked him down.
Antoine nodded. “Something we’ve got to do.”

2023-09-15 08:54:37 +0000 UTC View PostAntoine went to find Chris.
“Has he told his brother anything?” Dina asked Kimberly.
Kimberly shook her head. “He really doesn’t like keeping secrets from Chris, but if there’s a chance this can get us out, he’s willing to. We just better hope this storyline is the right c...
2023-09-13 04:40:15 +0000 UTC View PostEver since I arrived, I could never really wrap my head around the idea that everything I was experiencing was real. I didn't deny that I was seeing what I saw or that I could feel what I felt. But in my head, I always divided things between the real world and Carousel. As I stared at the map, I ...
2023-09-09 22:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostBecause of the Astralist skulking around, we had to take a much longer detour to get back in the direction we needed to go. Chris said that we couldn't risk going anywhere near him given the fact that the only way to beat him would be either using the chemicals in his lab or using his own machine...
2023-09-08 00:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostNote to readers: There is an intentional time skip. You didn't miss a post for Anna's Interlude. This is Part 2. I know it has been weeks since the last one so I thought I would give you a heads up. There will be a post soon to get us caught up and I have taken time off work so that I can build a...
2023-09-06 04:08:06 +0000 UTC View PostMy big fancy antique spear disappeared right out of my hands when we were about a mile west of the mansion. The pack that Chris had packed for me, a leather garment bag repurposed as a satchel, also got considerably lighter because other pieces of loot and weapons had disappeared from within it.<...
2023-09-03 07:53:54 +0000 UTC View PostWe found Chris down in the same lounge where we had spent the night. He was arranging various weapons that he had found around the mansion. Most of them were antiques. He had a jewel-encrusted sword and a morning star among them.
“You're really going to try and take those?” I asked.

2023-08-28 05:39:20 +0000 UTC View Post“I saw them…” I said.
It took the rest of the team a few seconds to realize what I was talking about. I was having trouble putting it into words.
