UtLS4E23: Don't Let Them Eat Cake

Under the Library - A Call of Cthulhu Podcast

On this episode of Under the Library, a Call of Cthulhu Podcast:

At sunset a wagon rolls into the center square of New Bloodstone, sparklers flashing on top of a 6’ tall cake, accompanied by guns shooting into the air. It’s a celebration in honor of New Bloodstone’s 100 week anniversary!

Hearing the guns and jubilant shouts, Colette convinces Lancelot to leave the garden with her, hoping to introduce him to Sam. He’s suspicious of the rest of the town but trusts her enough to follow. Entering the square, Lancelot is confused to learn of the 100 week anniversary of the town he’s lived in his whole life.

Buddy asks his mysterious book if the cake is safe to eat, and the book’s response leaves him suspicious. Buddy shares his worries with Sam, who begins to knock cake out of people’s hands, yelling about contamination. Sam was subdued by a member of the park staff, and then headed across the square to Buddy. As we ended, Sam waved Lloyd over, hoping to answer some questions about the strange town residents.

Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our main storyline, a sandbox created by our Keeper (Michael), is set in (a fictitious) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Collette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Sister B (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on narrative, improv, and character building. We may stick our heads in front of a train because that’s what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not know what we’ll find. We’re crafting a story, creating flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG; characters die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but played by immature people. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.
