The Masks of Nyarlathotep: Australia pt 4

Extracts from the Personal Diary of John Jamil Zwaiter

20 February 2009 continued (game time)

What? My arm just went through Muldoon. And again. What the ….! Where am I? No-one replies. They act as if they didn’t hear me. Can I hear them?

…..

!!!!! Why? What?

…..

James glanced at me just now. He can see me. What’s wrong with them?

…..

Where was I before?

…..

There was this massive sculpture and I walked up to it. Then what?

…..

I became a ……..! cultist !!

…..

But this is me now. Back to normal. But what is this normal?

…..

They are talking, talking, talking.

Now going to attack the real cultists. Good. I must keep up with James but the corridor is dark. I am sure he can see me. Yes, I can hold his hand.

It is so dark in this corridor. I’ll make it light. There we are. James can see. He’s staring at my amulet. Oh, they are still stumbling around in the dark. Now Freddie’s lit up his axe and they act like they can see. Isn’t my light good enough for them. ??!!!?

…..

There’s the cultist’s camp, all lit up. It stinks. All we have to do is get past the barricades, open the cages, let everyone out….. Oh, they still can’t hear me.

James has just skidded into the shit but I let go in time to stay on my feet. Am I on my feet? Why don’t I sink through the floor. Ow! That wall is hard.

They are all charging in. I’m going as well. I can’t see what’s happening, there’s too much. There’s someone ahead of me. I’ll shoot with my lightning gun. Not sure if I hit or not. I know, I’ll open a cage. Oh, it’s difficult.

….

….

….

….

What happened? What? What? Fatima’s looped time to back before we attacked because we were all being killed? Wow!!!!!

Now they are talking, talking, talking again. So many ideas of what to do other than simply attack the cultists. Talk, talk, talk.

….

Yes, I know the spell ‘Open the Way’. Yes, I have a silver needle. Yes, totally ignore me. Even James ignores me.

Oh, you are going to go back to get the needle from my body? I’m not sure I want to see it.

….

We are there and I am not going to look. Too weird.

….

Off again, to find Dave. He’s not in the room where he was before, but we are going to sleep here. Do I need to sleep?

….

Dave has arrived. More talking, talking, talking. I’ve discovered that I really dislike talking, well, listening to others talk and talk and talk.

….

Finally off again, and I’ve met someone else who can see me, a dog snuffler, which was quite a shock. And then they talked with ghouls. I think they are trying to get allies to attack the cultists with them.

….

Now back to the Blue Plaza, and there’s a mimi – and he can definitely see me. He even includes me in his drawings, and waves me into the chasm he’s made in the wall. We’re into another cave with lots of mimis. The women are so hot!! One of them offers me fruit from a tray. I want to take it, but I can’t touch it. She looks sad at that too.

Six of them return with us to the Blue Plaza and join the amazing army.

What next?
