    well, it turns out helen is a disworldian-style witch. i guess that figures.

    a bit of rummaging turns up michelle hurst who looks pretty cool in a big brown leather (or is it canvas?) jacket. helen would have shorter hair and no makeup—not so much aggressive as all business, and kind of an iron dyke air. not the agency's only witch but probably the one with the best english.

    lol i probably put too much thought into this. it would be cool if bel found a few ghosts! i think, anyway. other than that probably just usual 'interesting old ruin' detritus, you know? grafitti, camping stuff, lost clothes, the requisite filthy mattress, condoms, old cigarettes, a shoe. like that. i think the prepared habitable part's going to be in a basement room.

    i was like 'is this too much stuff to list?' but then i was like, you know what, i enjoy the idea of a little foldspace bunker being tucked away in some desolate old ghost barn in north dakota. you never know when the dungeon dimensions might fucking try and eat north dakota and you need somewhere to hide, i guess?

    yeah no it's perfect, it's kind of like spaces i pretended i'd found in the wilds of outer-suburban minnesota some summers when i was a kid :D

    old hobo camps out by the big christmas tree farm where the train tracks went through, "what if this plywood shack had a BASEMENT AND IT WENT TO DARKSIDE NARNIA" and i could've been murderized by drifters so many times because i couldn't stay away from that kind of thing

    there was a christmas tree farm that hadn't been harvested, or idk maybe it was a telephone pole farm, but it had huge pine trees in perfectly straight rows, and it was like that dwarf hall in lotr where the vast field of pillars makes your eyes cross, except it was floored with pine needles so your footsteps were absolutely silent. anything could've been in there with you, you wouldn't have heard it. and it was dark and cool even in high august.

    i loved it there. i pretended i was a druid king and it was my ent army.

    aww that sounds awesome.

    so ok with the ghost, i figure that since smoking tends to be both a common addiction and a pretty significant one, it'd be good for attracting ghosts. it's something a lot of them would remember as important from life. plus there's crossover with burnt offerings, and in traditions of giving gifts to the dead, cigarettes are actually pretty common.

    i've run across that idea before, and it resonates pretty well.

    im interested in what pancho and bel will think of the whole bigger-and-creepier-on-the-inside thing!

    bel is scared of ghosts and i reckoned i'd give erskin a chance to tease him before they see the bunker

    bel: so i saw a ghost and it was scary
    pancho: ghosts aren't scary because they're not real
    bel: OKAY SO

    pancho and bel can go exploring if they want? there's plenty of big fields for a fresh, sane, regular-world run, but i think this might be the first real big, inarguable, 'so hey, you live in weird america now' event that bel's had, and of course this morning pancho was completely normal.

    eta: hmm. i definitely forgot that erskin was going to be pretty limited for a day or two. maybe helen can come exploring with them, if you don't want to write it all yourself.

    i think the weirdness is catching up to bel a bit :P

    i am not sure i'm up to writing any exploring myself, my concerta wore off so i'm a bit of a dial tone. we could pack it in for the night, or save the splores for later and do less inventy stuff for now, or you could come up with stuff and bel could just respond to it.

    Yeah it seems like after a very long day they might all just wanna hang out somewhere cozy and not get too adventurous. Maybe they can explore the next morning.
