-Preface-
"What are the rules of reality? Well they aren't certain, my friends. And if they are indeed certain, then they do not refer to reality."
What does a magic key, eccentric townsfolk, an evil book, an immortal, shady government agents, amphibians, a mad scientist, old seafood, and an ancient cult have in common? The sleepy seaside town of Innsmouth of course. See, it all started with the mysterious disappearance of one Suzanne "Suzie" Moore. Straight-A student. Captain of the high school cheer leading squad. Most popular girl at school. Voted most likely to be kidnapped and probably murdered. The police couldn't find any trace of her except for a strange puddle of green water by her bedside on the night she disappeared.
Things have only gotten stranger since. Some of the townsfolk have accused their neighbors of having... changed. Not in terms of their physical appearances but their mannerisms. Some have become shut-ins while others display weird erratic behaviors, even violent tendencies. It's like an "invasion of body snatchers," claimed fisherman and local town conspiracy theorist, Dan Mulberry. But maybe—just maybe—he isn't simply blowing smoke with these claims.
Now a journalist has arrived to investigate the abundant curiosities that plague this once quiet town in hopes of uncovering the truth of it all. But this is not a story of simply one person. This town will soon be visited by all manners of interesting characters whose stories will inexplicably intertwined with one another. And all of these characters playing their respective roles will contribute to solving the most important mystery of them all: what the hell happened to Suzie Moore? But take heed, because something sinister writhes beneath, awaiting the end to a long slumber...

Welcome recruits. You've all been specially selected, due to your unparalleled skills and performance demonstrated in your previous missions, to participate in Project Legacy, which was established back in 1950 and is an ongoing project to this very day.

Those who wish to withdraw from this assignment may leave the room now. But for those who stay, I can promise that you will be witness to horrifying and extraordinary things. Things that will shake the very foundation of your grasp on reality. Now, ladies and gentlemen, read the rules, read the case file, and meet with your handlers for further instructions. Good luck and may God have mercy on your souls.

- 4. Any disputes between players should be resolved through PM.
- 5. I won't impose any rules about how much or how frequently you should post because of things like school, work, etc. But if you're signing up, make sure you're serious about roleplaying this.

-Case File-
"What happened to Suzie Moore?"
That is the question on everyone's mind. From her parents, Richard and Elizabeth Moore, to the students and faculty of Innsmouth High School, to the local sheriff department, to us here at the CIA, and even to other third parties. Yes, what are the circumstances of her mysterious disappearance? And that is what we are tasking you with finding out, recruits. From field agent to desk jockey, you all are a part of this now. It's been approximately three weeks since Ms. Moore's disappearance so the trail may prove difficult to pick up. Concern yourself not so much with finding the girl but with the details of her disappearance and document everything you find. Your destination: Innsmouth, Massachusetts in the New England region of the US eastern seaboard. Take a look at the map below to get a lay of the land:
