Jules didn't like the plan at all.
The plot cycle may have said it was the beginning of Rebirth, but there were other things to take into account—the vibe, for one.
The problem with players is that so few of them, even back in the days of rescues, ever truly experienced a doomed sto...

I found myself hyper aware of the compulsions that had overcome me in my time within the Eternal Savers Club.
I stared at my cart with items literally stacked up over the rim, and while I didn't feel like I was under the effects of mind control, and if my infection indicator was going off, ...

As the sun rose on our second day in the storyline, I could feel an energy in the air that didn't match the beginning of rebirth. It felt like the end. It felt like the finale was about to draw to a close.
It was like when you had a three-day weekend, and you got to take Monday off, but the...

As we fled into the parking lot from our exclusive party within the hedge maze, we sporadically went On-Screen. That meant we couldn't just wait around; we had to actually stay in character, which meant fleeing.
The problem was that we had walked here, and while that was okay for us ...

I will be taking a week off from posting after today's chapter.
I need to get caught up on some things and get the storyline straightened out.
I appreciate your understanding. I hope when you see where this is going, you will understand.

With the cloaked cultists surrounding all exits from the center of the hedge maze, all I could do was hide behind the ice sculpture of the angel with Kimberly and Antoine.
They were called Night Stockers on the red wallpaper, and as funny as that joke of a name was, they didn’t come acros...

“But I don’t understand, if the title of the movie is Homibridal, won’t the audience know who the killer is?” The man asked, blank-faced, standing next to a pair of women who also didn’t seem to get the premise. He was a big movie producer asking me about my latest project.

We picked five players to go on the rescue in Eternal Savers Club.
The more players you had, the more characters you had to share screen time with, and because Bobby's rescue trope was about completing subplots from the failed storyline, I worried that we would be hurting for scree...

“See, there it goes again!” Ramona exclaimed.

“This is the most boring stakeout I have ever been a part of,” Ramona said.
“Do you go on a lot of stakeouts?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I spent years investigating deaths caused by the Die Cast, remember?”

The next chapter will be posted on Thursday. I will use this next storyline to get you all caught up to where you are supposed to be. First, however, the players have some shopping to do.
Give me ideas for what should be on their list in the comments.

Bobby Gill held the ticket in his hands all the way up the stairs. Backstage Access. A proper scouting trope that belonged to Lila, but she would let him borrow it at night so he could walk the dogs.

When we got back, the others were very excited to see Ramona.

I wished that the rain would come back. Once the storyline was over, it would have been a pleasant, warm embrace.
Instead, I got sunshine. It was nighttime at the end of the story, but that didn’t mean anything to Carousel. We got daylight, if only to allow us to watch as Carousel drained...

I wouldn't have picked the rooftop for the final battle if I had known it was going to take so long. I was soaked to my core.

The final battle was going to take place on the roof. It was a nice change of venue. The hotel could be a bit cramped despite its size. At the end of the day, one part of a labyrinth looks like any other part.

Kimberly left me in a supply closet.
But to her credit, it was quite a large closet. It even had a window, a small glass sliver that allowed me to see out into the darkness where the storm raged on. The water pelted the glass so hard it looked fringed.
