We dont pay rent!(Haunting Riot Quest)

Reader mode
[X] the building briefly exploded into ghostly flames as a door to one of the rooms is broken down. Outside steps a fire man holding an axe. He seems confused but quickly disappears along with the fire.

Sir John Locke was a member of a local knightly order, as time went on the need for the order to exist as it did was reduced until its members agreed to follow their code to civic duty and reorganized into a local fire brigade.

In their duties as a fire brigade they responded to fire in a communal housing complex caused by a boiler room in the basement. Sir John tragically lost his life fighting the blaze.

The basement continues being the most haunted thing in the whole building.

I admit I never expected for the basement to be so popular. I was sure one of you was going to mess with one of the floors or at least with the elevator.

What you expected from ghost riot quest: Haunting, terrifying the inhabitants, spooky stuff.
What you got: Closet God, basement roommates, the lights becoming more welcoming, key stealing, a cat girl maid, and Welcome to the Jungle.
 
Gonna change my vote seeing as anything passes first turn.
[X]The 4th floor Infirmary: Originally given an entire floor the infirmary has seen better days now diminished and strewn across a labyrinth as hallways and rooms have been sealed off some barricaded from within some from outside, despite all have been sealed years ago noise still echo out be they groaning and screaming patients or people banging on doors to get out. Yet what remains seems inexplicably comfortable and safe as the old barricades reassuring seemingly stood the test of time.

[X] a group of entities consisting of a Classic Red Devil, a Grey Alien, a Minotaur and a Egyptian Mummy appear around a table on the third floor and begins to play a game of poker with a Angel acting as dealer.

Is this valid.

I will allow it as long you answer some questions first. Is the angel also a classic angel? A curly haired person wearing white with wings on their backs? Are they playing just to play or are they betting something? Is there a particular reason why this diverse group are together? Are they going to stay there forever or is more of a tuesday game night thing? Also are they friendly? Would they allow someone else to join the game?

The Red Room
  • Apocrypha
    • I see a lot of people writing backstories to add to the apocrypha, so here's mine:

    The Red Room

    Over a century ago, there was a very wealthy man who enjoyed toying with the lives of other people. In particular, he was fascinated by the sheer depraved depths people were willing to sink to in exchange for wealth. One day, the man discovered that he was terminally ill and no amount of money could produce a cure for his sickness. As such, he turned to the occult instead. Eventually, during his research, he stumbled upon a vacant mansion with its own dark past and purchased it from the state. For one year, the man lived within the mansion, studying its secrets. What strange and terrible things happened during that one year? Who can say? For the man was never seen again and ownership of the mansion passed back to the state. All in all, the building had mostly stayed the same, with the exception of one conspicuous red room...

    • I will close the votes tommorow, since all votes are passing I am already writting some of them Aka the Basement because a lot is going there. May the landlord help whoever is brave enough to go down there. Meanwhile feel free to change or adjust your acts.
     
    [X] The roof Garden: on the top of the building is a floor without roof. The ground is covered in fertile soil, deep enough that noone ever found floor beneath the soil. This Floor has no walls, the difference to "outside" is marked by a ghostly fog, which gets thicker the closer any person gets to it. Someone walking into the fog of this floor leads to the person appearing in fog in an unobserved part of the building, the fog the person appeared in inside the building then thins out like normal fog would. While a part of the building is unobserved the fog can spawn there. This fog is the only way to move between the garden and the rest of the house. Tenants tending a part of the garden always find the way to the part they are tending.
     
    The Midnight Wolf
  • Apocrypha
    • A little folklore about the entity that would soon be part of the apartment…

    The Midnight Wolf
    The apartment now occupies the site of a previous house. Once upon a time, a man and his loyal, loving dog named Bruce lived in that house. Bruce was significantly larger than other dogs, with fur darker than the night. Although the owner loved his dog very much, he had to work long hours from sunrise to sunset and couldn't spend as much time with Bruce as he wanted. However, Bruce was very loyal and loved his owner deeply. Every day, when the owner returned from work, Bruce would wait patiently outside the house under the flickering lamppost to greet his master. The owner would reward Bruce's behavior with a small treat.

    One day, while the owner was at work, Bruce waited outside the house as usual, not knowing that his owner would never return. Bruce waited for days, weeks, and even months outside the house, hoping that his owner would come back. Neighbors would sometimes leave food and water out for him, but he refused to leave his spot. Eventually, the owner's house was seized by the bank, and soon enough, people would make attempts to approach the property only to be chased by a giant black dog. Eventually, the dog was deemed a threat to public safety and was shot on the spot where he once stood to wait for his owner and hastily buried nearby. The house was eventually sold, but nothing was built there for many years.

    However, some locals from the neighborhood claim that they would see a large shadowy figure resembling that of a canine waiting under the lamppost during nighttime, and for a time, a local folklore was born about the "Midnight Wolf" that would chase you if you stayed outside the street during the dark hours. Years later, the rest of the neighborhood was demolished and an apartment building was built in its place. Despite the modernization, some locals still report seeing something, a small shadow perhaps, enter through the apartment where once stood the house and lamppost.

    Hmm, probably something like this in a meaning?

    When you get right down to it, the thought process really was as simple as "You know, this basement idea is pretty great, but it would be even greater if we could get another basement below it but make this basement more like a dungeon than a normal basement".

    With a side order of "People might start looking around and eventually find the basement, but who's going to find the secret basement and then start looking around for another secret basement?"

    An alternative way of putting it might be "So I know we all like the basement, so what if we gave our basement a basement so we can have a basement while we're in the basement?"
     
    Alrigth gonna change my act to this:

    [X] create an Infinity library whose door randomly appears and can be freely summoned by people wo hold a librarycard, wich can be gotten from any Ghost in the library. The library holds all the knowledge of everyone that ever lived in the building (and Ghosts), and every book that was ever in the building, but the orgarnisation is random. These books are ghostly copies which return to the library after a week.
