File #24 - Musing

[Oneiros]

Our tale this week invokes the classical - from the Muse of Epic Poetry to some very traditional horror tropes, those of eerie music heard before death and creepy, creepy dolls.

Very nicely done, I thought, to make the assertion that the lady wasn't afeared of dolls before this. As well as the setting up of what happened to Josh (definitely flinched at that reveal). And would anyone care to place a bet that the trunk & organ *weren't* taken away by our mystery mystical removals company as previously named? ;-)

Plus we are graced with the first appearance of Sasha. Only Tim is yet to interrupt a recording I believe...

And Gertrude, she'll totally rock up at some point.

I enjoyed this, it feels like the horror in this one was particularly subtle, until the end. Poor Josh, but he totally deserves it, all Joshes are terrible terrible people.

I'm guessing that it's Breekon & Hope (or however you spell it) that moved the organ out, although I don't believe they're affiliated with the Magnus Institute, so I'm interested to see if they did bring it to them, or to someone else who then sent it to MI. I'm still not sure if they work for a specific party, or if they're just freelance 'arcane transport' people, although they seem to have some motive.

I always, ALWAYS jump a little bit when I hear that damn door open. I suspect that Jonny is putting them in as harmless things to lull us into a false sense of security. I DON'T TRUST HIS LIES!!
