@Angel EyesAmazing as always! Thank you so much.
OKAY. So. My power died for two damn days. I am way the fuck behind. Probably won't be able to catch up any time soon- So, at least for the time being, I fear I'm gonna have to step back from this one. ^^; I may jump back in once the next arc arrives, but for now, missing two days left me with a heap of catchup in a few other RPs and RL stuff. Sorry, all. ;~;
WELCOME TO HOTEL CALIFORNIA

Exactly.

I actually LOVE that you chose this case. I'm a mystery buff, and an avid watcher of Unsolved Mysteries. This case was actually featured in an episode and I was mesmerized by the house ever since.

DAMN you work fast! Nice post.
Yeah, I'm trying to take established real world mysteries and put a new spin on them. Of course I'll take some artistic liberties but the whole idea of the ORO is to investigate happenings within the real, human world.

Haha thanks, I actually type about 70 words a minute. Only reason I know that is cause I had to do a typing test for my new job. Haha. That, and I'm a very visual person. So once I read a post, I automatically picture myself in that situation as the character and I'm able to quickly establish what I'm going to write.

Love it.
I was writing that post up and I thought to myself "Right now, everyone thinks Emory is a literal stick in the mud. Let's show that he can have some fun. Why not pretend to be a dumb college kid, that always works!" Bit of that signature levity these types of stories need.
<Snipped quote by BrutalBx>
And also more relatable! Easier to ignore a dumb college kid than members of a secret organization!
<Snipped quote by Sailorsadie>
Correct. When a bunch of college kids wander off, it's easier to assume there off making out somewhere (which I imagine happens a fair bit in an attraction like the Winchester House) which in turn gives the team better cover to investigate.

And easier for others around them to be a lot less tense. Easier for Zara to work her magic.
