Encounter Conditions

Halloween 2014

Initial Text

A mummy… well, a woman dressed as a mummy, stands out of place against one of the walls. She might just be antisocial, but from what little you can see she's definitely older than most of the students here.

Unless someone's dressing as an older woman dressed as a mummy, but that seems too meta even for Metroplex University students.

Choice Text and Results

Introduce yourself

First time:

"Yes," she responds pleasantly, "I'm new around here. My name's Julia and I'm going to be the curator of the new special collections."

She fakes a cough, covering her mouth politely despite the bandages. "Well, after there are special collections. It probably falls on me to decide how it's going to be arranged… and I haven't even had a chance to go into the basement."

Second time:

"We already met, actually. I know it can be hard to keep track of people at a party like this, though. Who's wearing what and all that."

"Okay, I'll fess up: I only learned that today. This isn't really my scene."

"Anyway, in case you forgot, I'm Julia and will be running the special collections here once we have them."

She sighs. "But we won't even be able to start until I draw up plans and free up the workers finishing the dorms."

Scare her off

She doesn't seem quite sure if you're acting in the Halloween spirit or actually threatening her, but she slips off into the crowd.

You've gained 20 duration of Halloween Spirit

.

Ask about collections

"The University raised enough money with the party to open up some special collections. I'm not sure they actually expected it to work, because they're not prepared at all."

She shrugs, her bandages shifting oddly. "They hired me and, well, it sounds like it's all up to me. Don't worry, it'll work out fine. It will just take some time."

Talk about dorms

"I saw the dorm collapse a few years ago on the news, but it looks like they're almost ready to reopen."

"Of course, I've been hearing people say it's been almost ready for a long time."

She shrugs under her bandages. "Once I've got plans for the special collection and they've figured out what the hold up is, we should be able to start work in the basement here."

Trick or treat!

If you donated a lot?

"Ah, yes. Jess said I'd better give you plenty of candy."

She drops some wrappings into your bucket and melts back into the crowd. Huh.

You found: 2-3 rolls of mummy candy

If you are not a VIP. You pleb, you

She drops some wrappings into your bucket and melts back into the crowd. That's… pretty weird.


You found: mummy candy

If you are not an a-list helper, after the first time:

"I'm not great with people, but I'm pretty sure you already got some candy. I'm just saying, leave some for the other kids… students… sorry."

She beats a hasty exit rather then finishing the awkward conversation.

Leave her be

She seems quite content to stay off to the side and nurse a glass of punch… a feat made easier by the wrappings covering her mouth.
