@quinn I was Aya on that game, and I know exactly the plot you are talking about, too. It ended up feeling like quite the letdown when the rando came in and took all of the tension out of the scene (the threat wouldn't be out of place in a Goosebumps episode, but I was getting into it the vibe of the thing). Paged the staff to present the problems as I saw them, at the time. Had a hard time logging in after that night, though.
But alas. A lot of fun potential in the game. In spite of everything, I think it was the most successful of the 'horror' games that I have played in my MUSH life.
