Nan snatches the lantern off the wall, dialing it up quickly.

As the light flares up, Santiago suddenly screeches to a halt and turns around, shouting.
Nan, no!

Everything goes white.

>>237163
Dial it down while you get moving, don't let the light slow you down. Try to get to Santiago and pull him along if he froze up.

>>237164
... Okay?

>>237164
Smash the damn thing you idiot.

what fuck no don't keep it look what you did

smash it smash it smash it

Dial it down instead of smashing our light source.

I see you have the ultra model

Santiago seemed pretty damn upset when we took it. Smash the lamp to pieces.

R.I.P(ieces). Santiago

1966 - ????

Goodnight, sweet prince.

>>237171
This plan is best.

I don't think it would be too easy to smash the lamp and if we did it would probably just make more light and possibly catch us on fire. Just turn it down if you can.

o yeah and whatever you do try and save Santiago

>>237179
He was upset when he saw the light increasing.

>light = good agaisnt monsters!
>we're in the dark oh shit
>oh look a lamp
>turn it on
>LOL UR SCREWED

... :/

>>237188
shot are you literally retarded

Santiago JUST gave us a speech on how to survive in the dark, not being afraid of it. That lantern was an incredibly obvious test.

>>237189
>>237189
I dunno too many of us were conditioned by three previous threads that two or three posts didn't really change that

I'm just saying

It makes sense but at the same time, ugh.

When the glare fades, Nan finds herself someplace new. A few men in strange uniform move purposefully about the TERRA COTTA COURTYARD.

The warm scent of flowers rises in the summer heat.

The sun is out. Nan had forgotten how comforting its light was.

>>237191
Turn around.

Observe gates.

Observe cross.

You have died and gone to Heaven.

Freak out about this.

Probably best not to bother the people. Take a good look around.

>>237191

...Well, I'm done.

Sit around and wait until you return to the hotel, or something. I guess. I don't even know what to do anymore.

>>237189
Surviving in the dark? By turning into a monster like him huh? preferable to go out with a bang in my opinion, fighting the darkness than to embrace it.

>>237191
Ask that gentleman what year it is.

>>237191
Oh boy.

Well, let's deal with this, then. We're probably now way in the past of this place.

>>237191
You're tripping balls. Go look at the face of the person in a cloak.

>>237191
Okay... we are probably in the Old Mission (pre-hotel). Let's take a look around and gather info.

Ask someone where you are.

>>237191
Ask what year it is, and who these people are.

I think what's going on is that touching an item from a given time period takes you to that time period. If we see any Michael Jackson cassettes then we can get back to Santiago's time.

Also, why do you not have a cell phone Nan? You should have a cell phone. Stop everything and go get one, the monsters can wait.

Go ask the chap in the hat about the date and time.

>>237191
Warm smell of colitas? Rising up through the air?

Bask in the feeling. It might be false but at least you can enjoy it momentarily.

>>237206
Actually, I think you're on to something here. Ringing the bell is what started all this in the first place, isn't it? We should pay close attention to what objects we interact with.

>>237200
DON'T DO THIS IT WILL END THE DREAM SEQUENCE

Nan: Touch self to return to 2009

>You should have a cell phone.

Please tell me where she is to obtain one here or in the hotel and I'd be happy to support this.

No, it doesn't seem like heaven -- but it is quite peaceful.
Beneath the warm summer sun, the TERRA COTTA COURTYARD is full of figures moving about, all connecting into other parts of what appears to be a SPANISH MISSION. It seems quite well maintained, with no signs of age.

Nan approaches the man in the black hood and poncho who seats himself by the bells, says hello, and asks for information.

Receive information.

>>237220
Sit next to him. Comment on the weather.

Hope you can "habla espanol?" becasue for all we know the U.S. hasn't even incorporated this area yet.

The man rests on the stone bench and pulls back his black cloth hood before smiling at Nan and nodding quietly.

Of course, he says, what can this humble traveler do to help?

>>237226
Ask his name. And the year.

>>237223

In living form?

Commenting on how nice things are around here, and maybe asking him if he's stayed at any hotels recently.

>>237226
Ask the year, the month, the day. Tell him we're really disoriented, and have a problem with this sort of thing commonly. Also ask where we are...


And if he doesn't mind telling, ask about the scar.

introduce self

>>237226
Ask him if he's a Padre.

If you outright ask him for the month, year or where you are, he's going to think that Nan is crazy, or at least stupid.

Say that you've been exposing yourself too much to the sun and fainted. You aren't feeling too well. Then ask about where you are, the year, the month, etcetera.

>>237226
... ask him if he's a Pilgrim.

Ask him the date and time, claim to be going somewhere but forgot to check a calender and want to be sure you are there on the right day.

Do not go into the hall the hall is a bad place.

>>237226
A Taveller, mayhaps a pilgrim to this site? Note his scar but don't mention it. Ask about this place noting that you are a recent arrival.

Though she tries not to react strongly, the man in the black hood notices her reaction and points to his scar, explaining that it's not important. It's from a long time ago.

Nan asks for the date -- including the year. The man smiles, looking up at the warm sky and the sun-baked adobe and tile roof of the building by the courtyard, and says that he understands. In a place like this, it must be so easy to lose track of time.
He's just passing through, himself. Here to see someone, and then move on. And yet he wishes he could stay in this lovely place, so long that he too could lose track of the years.

It is the third -- or wait, perhaps the fourth? -- of June, in the year 1828.

>>237250
Tell him your name. Politeness should get his.

>>237250
"Why not stay here? Build a hotel?"

>>237251
Let's try this.

Ask who he's here to see.

>>237250
June 4th.
04/06
466
Connection, perhaps?

>>237257
The day the music died?

Alright, well ask this guy his name.

Tell him that you've been trapped in a 'nice' place so long you just... had to take off or you'd suffocate. He might change his mind after a while.

Tell him your name and do NOT shake hands, in fact, don't touch anything if you can help it. If he starts to hold his hand out for you to shake, give him a polite curtsey instead. Or a bow if you have no idea what that is.

Nan asks the man in the black hood his name, and offers her own. He introduces himself politely as Lorenzo.

Nan asks who he's here to see, and he says before he passes through on his way North, he'd like to speak with the Padre and get his blessing.

>>237262
Ask politely if you could join him.

Why not join him and go see the Padre. Maybe you could ask him for help against the Pa- uh dangerous monsters.

>>237262
NAN! BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO TO OR WITH THIS MAN.

YOUR ACTIONS MAY CAUSE HIM TO HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST YOUR FOR MANY YEARS.

>>237262
Ask if you can tag along.

>>237262
Tell him you wish him the best of luck on his journey as well.

Well uh I'm outta ideas beyond following him.

Ask him not to go to the padre. Tell him he can think you're crazy, it doesn't matter, but if you didn't tell him to leave now, you would be remiss and it would haunt you forever. Ask him please not to stay in this place.

ask him about padre

and what cream does he uses to hide scars

>>237284
i actualy htink this is a good time to know how the hotel camed to be and padre's role on it

Nan asks if she can come along to see the Padre. Lorenzo says she certainly can.
In fact, here he is now.

>>237292
Aight, let's head over thattaway then.

>>237292
Approach him.

>>237294
Wait for Lorenzo to move. Perhaps the Padre will come to us.

Feel completely safe with everything, including the possibility you might have to talk with the padre in dark places.

Walk upto him and greet him, it's the proper thing to do.

He comments that it doesn't appear the Padre is going to be coming to them, so Lorenzo dons his black hood and stands, offering Nan his hand.

But... everything is going dark. The warm sunlight is receding.

>>237306
Take his hand and never let go.

>>237306
Take his hand.

>>237306

>>237306
Grab his hand!

Don't touch him. Back away and say you have to go now.

Try to think as much as you can about your current surroundings. Maybe it'll help you stay longer.

Take his hand.

>>237306
Guess we'll see you inside, Lor.

Nan reaches out, but Lorenzo and the courtyard are already gone.

In the darkness, Nan can only see Satiago, who looms over her, holding the dimmed lantern.

He says Nan is on her own now, and he's going to take the lantern.
He'd love to stay and have more fun with her, but it's not a good time to stay in one place.

Apologize, but don't try and change his mind.

>>237338
Hmm. Ask him how we offended him with that. How could we have known what it does?

Couldn't we still go with him?

>>237338
he mad

>>237338
Right. Don't apologise. You'll only set off his free-will thing.

Take stock of surroundings.

>>237338
Ask him what just happened.

Apologize, plan to look at it again some other time. Follow Santiago into the darkness.

>>237338
"Is tagging along out of the question?"

Nan apologizes, to which Santiago only laughs.
As he runs off into the darkness, disappearing from sight, he calls back to her.
He says she's quite mistaken. There's no need to apologize.
After all, whatever she saw, it's her problem. Not his.




It is very dark here.
Hardly anything can be seen.

Do NOT APOLOGIZE, he doesn't like being thanked, apologizing probably falls under the same banner. Also, lets split, he can go his own way, we can go find actually SANE people in this madhouse.

>>237338
Don't apologize. Say "Later", then head to the elevator. Grab Anna's hat as you pass it, if it's still there.

Scream "I SAW THE PILGRIM AND THE PADRE" and then bolt screaming like a crazed bitch.

Leave Santiago completely and utterly confused.

Start punching! Everywhere!

The next time you see Santiago, beat his ass.
You're a goat.
He's a fox.
He doesn't stand a chance.
