arias_hollowSince my last post, I have finished my second mission and started the third! I did it all in one go quite late at night, so let's see how many details I can remember. xD
During my next meeting with The Crew, we realized my demon is a lot smarter than most demons and must have some sort of real plan and motivation for it to be doing stuff as highly specific as forming life-eating cults. We were told a few more locations where Weird Stuff was happening, one of them being my old home in Staten Island. Figuring Lumierre Note (my fella) would want to avoid that place, I went to the Bronx first. I liked the police dude who was just guarding the entrance to the subway. He was the first guy I saw there and he was very pleasant, albeit pretty irrelevant plot wise. Lumierre had another vision where my demon had once again been giving extremely shady advice to a distressed person. By asking around, we learn the Weird Stuff is centered around a certain home, so we head on over. The house was the center of the second mission, and so solving everything involved quite a few puzzles. At first there was someone writing on the window telling me to break it and hurry inside. I had picked up a brick, so I tried tossing it. Alas, Lumierre is weak. Couldn't even get it all the way up to the second floor, let alone with enough force to shatter it. I knew quite quickly that Mandana needed to throw it, but for a while I couldn't figure our for the life of me how to give the brick to her, so I wandered around for a bit wondering if I had missed some other clue. I hadn't, and eventually I figured out how to give her the brick and she tossed it Real Good.
Oh, but one tragedy along the way was that when I first walked into the area with the house, Eli and Mandana started conversing like usual but I ACCIDENTALLY CUT THEM OFF! D: I always want to hear everything they have to say about an area. But I saw I could try to open a garage with my bare hands and got excited and clicked right away, making them scold me for trying to open a garage door with my bare hands. xD I did enjoy that. But then they didn't pick up their conversation and I was distraught! Once I don't have to worry about spoilers I may have to look up what they say about the place...
Anyways, the inside of the house was disheveled and spooky, and the invisible entity writing turned out to be a spirit guide! There was a Bestower in the house! I hadn't thought we'd meet one since Kalash and everyone else said we, the Unavowed, didn't deal with mundane death. But we did meet one and his name is Logan, and his spirit guide is a ghost of a ten year old called KayKay. They are both quite fun but I especially liked Logan very quickly. He seemed so cool! And he was holding off three ghosts of the house that were turning angry and evil - becoming poltergeists (I really love that Eli calls it going geist lol). I had to find out the names of the ghosts for him to be able to calm them down. Some clues I found quickly, and some took me a lot of wandering around and rethinking things, but I was able to find the objects in between more visions telling me some of what went down. I really just am enjoying getting to talk to the companions after every major cutscene to see how they're thinking - Eli really doesn't like ghosts or this ghosty house, and Mandana has a bad feeling about it too. Logan just wants a break.
Turned out demon me magically persuaded this college girl who hated the high couple that were her landlords/roommates to kill the woman's dog, and then made the woman kill the college girl, and then had the couple kill each other (after making the husband cheat on his wife with it). I was amused by the very shocked reactions from Eli and Logan at the picture of the demon and the husband together, while Mandana was unphased. Actually Logan was weirded out by every object I brought him, but they worked!
So I got more knowledge and Logan put the ghosts to rest. And! AND! LOGAN JOINED US! I really didn't think he would since he was a bestower, but he did! I was happy because I didn't really want him to leave the game lol. Kalash was a tiny bit grumpy but that's okay since he rolled with it.
As for for mission 3 so far, I finally braved myself and returned to Staten Island. There I had a vision where my demon summoned a mer-man warrior to form a deal, because of course I did that. Then there's a dead body being investigated by the police, and my old partner/mentor that I shot to death when I was first possessed turned out to be alive! But everyone thinks she has kind of lost it, even if she's still on duty. Haven't learned much more yet though, so we'll see how that goes!
