"Maybe rather than sneaking around an odd castle we should opt to take a more direct approach? I could see if I can get in contact with Jack Eaton Jr and set up a meeting at this castle," he suggests, pausing to gauge the reaction of everyone.
"I've... met his masters, and am a fellow businessman. I could simply say we're on the same side and that we should met to discuss things further. For a mutually beneficial deal. Or we could just trick the guards into thinking such a meeting exists."

"Endangering yourself won't be necessary, Sarapheen," Emend replies. "The map and tools will suffice. This is our task after all."
He'll then ponder about what they can actually do about the situation. It's possible that even with killing the CEO and the witch that Blume and Blumenthal's may be able to sacrifice the 10,000 employees. Maybe there's some way they could dismantle the company first (use Emend's Corporate Executive/Common Sense perks for a check)?

Anyway, I'd say there's drama, but really everyone is acting so moronic I can't even consider it real drama. Malk is shitting on Kiel pretty damn hard though, so he's probably most likely to get banned at the end of all this.
Also wasnt that ivatus guy banned?

Emend looks at the two men speaking and sizes them up. Robor referring to himself as a God when he's preparing to be an angel seems in bad taste to Emend, so he turns to Saint first.
"My name is Emend. Nice to meet you, Saint," he says, extending his hand to Saint.

Seems like you're at 270ish right now, which isn't bad.
I like the idea, but there's not much on the kickstarter that really brings confidence that it can be done. The art is just sketches at this point, the description of the plot is all we know about it, and the video is just the pictures on different backgrounds (and the code shown looks like default ren'py code).
If you look at the ones that are successful they normally have lots of information and many even have a demo. A demo is too far off, but I really do think it'd go a long way to post bios for some of the characters, go a bit more into detail about the setting maybe, and even try and get a coloured picture or two.

Really I’m more disappointed to hear that they aren’t really acting “bad” in the traditional sense. I figured they’d be more like female versions of Billy Bob Thorton’s character from Bad Santa instead (irresponsible behavior, excessive substance abuse, excessive swearing, disregarding their kids entirely, committing petty crimes, generally being horrible, etc). Or at least Peggy Bundy level times 10.
Oh they do all of that too lol. I just wasn't bothered by it because, well, it's exactly what I went in expecting. If anything even when they were trying to be bad "moms" they mostly just came across as bad people. The worst thing they did parenting wise was not make their kids breakfast (they threw parties and broke laws but the kids weren't near them then).

So I feel like ranting for a little bit. Yesterday I saw Bad Moms with my sisters and mom. FYI: turns out it's not a very family friendly movie.
Anyway, the humour was alright. Though you should be warned that literally 1/4th of the script is either the word vagina, tits, or Fark. It's pretty low-brow as far as most of the humour goes. But it's a chick flick, so that's to be expected.
What annoyed me was how the movie was just about pandering to women, largely at the expense of men. I mean, it's a chick flick sure, but holy shit it pandered hard.
For starters, literally every male character exists to either service women, or is weak/useless. That's it. Literally every one.
A) The main character's husband is a literal manchild.
b) The main character's love interest is sexualized by every woman in the movie, and seems to exist solely to benefit them. He has no goal besides getting with the main character.
c) The main character's son is an underachiever (in contrast with her overachieving daughter).
d) The main character's boss is a dick who does a complete 180 and grovels to her later in the movie.
e) The main character's friend's husband is a dick (sort of) who does a complete 180 and grovels to her later in the movie.
f) The main character's friend's son is just a big dumbass.
g) The gym coach at the school is another manchild.
h) The principle is just sort of there to do the bidding of the women in the movie.
Hell, even a random cop that tries to stop them when they wreck a supermarket quivers and runs in fear when one of the three main characters slightly moves towards him.
And that's all the male characters. The worst offenders were the son and friend's husband though.
So the son is the opposite to the daughter. The main character (his mom), currently does everything from making his food to doing his homework for him. She does this for the daughter too, but the daughter actually has aspirations. At one point, she stops, and tells him he's entitled and should stop acting that way. And he does. It's actually decent character development. The thing is...the daughter is probably worse than the son in personality, yet instead of getting reprimanded, she gets a day at the spa, and some bonding time with her mom. While the son moans a bit during the movie, the daughter literally tells her mom she hates her, and that she's a terrible mom, and many times acts like an entitled brat. What does the mom do? Apologizes profusely and begs for her daughter to tell her what she can do to be better.
Like holy shit, what? Why treat them so differently?
Then there is the friends husband. So this friend is a stay at home mom of 4 kids, with the husband at work. At one point they're out and he approaches her and is like "why ain't you watching the kids, it's your job, go watch them". She acts really submissive and agrees and hurries home, much to the scorn of the friends. Later on the husband (for whatever reason), has agreed to watch the kids and is like "you have to come back I can't do this". Pretty reasonable, given there are 4 kids, and presumably he's never watched them alone before. As someone who has watch 3 kids before, I know you can get overwhelmed pretty damn quick. Her response is to angrily respond "find a way to make it work", then hang up.
Whatever, that's fine. We're lead to believe he's been a dick to her for a while, so her being empowered or what have you here makes some sense. The part that makes no sense is the following day, when the two of them, with their four kids, walk to the school, and he's been made her bitch. Like, he carries everything, and she smugly asks him if he forgot something, to which he says yes, and she's like "well it ain't gonna get itself, go get it", and he listens to her and timidly walks back to get it. She then walks over to her friends to discuss how they want to relax today.
But why? She's the stay at home mom. It's literally her job to watch the kids. Why the Fark is she acting like she's in charge now? Why couldn't they just respect each other and acknowledge each other as equals?
Main character also annoyed me at the end. So her boss is a dick, like mentioned before. Rather than be a big girl about it, she simply decides to just stop coming into work for a while. She's then all surprised and upset to find they fired her when she actually decides to show up. End of the movie the boss has gone the way of all the other men, and is now begging for her to come back because the company is falling apart without her, claiming he'll do anything.
Does she ask for what she deserves and graciously accepts it? Haha, no of course not. She makes a list of demands, then when he says okay and asks if she can come in right away, she's says great and that she'll show up sometime next week when she feels like it.
Moral of the story? Men are useless, women run the world, and all you have to do to succeed is act like the world owes you something (because apparently if you're a woman, it does). Ironically, the world not owing you something is the very argument the main character had with her son to get him to smarten up.
Man, that was a longer rant than I expected.

Issac ponders to himself briefly. He'd have to leave everything behind in order to do this, but what would he really be leaving behind? His mundane job? His girlfriend who just uses him? His acquaintances?
This is a chance for him to make a real difference. There's only one possible answer here.
"I accept," he replies firmly.

"You don't seem to like humans very much," Issac replies, guessing by her tone that she looks down on humanity.
"But putting that aside... It sounds like by becoming your disciple I'd be able to do a lot of good, by getting rid of a lot of evil," Issac continues.
"And I'd be able to prevent people like my father from getting the power to ruin the lives of others, along with punishing the bastards that pray on the weak," he thinks to himself.
"As for the understanding part... well, I don't really understand what you're talking about, but by the sounds of it that won't change until later. So, what do I need to do to become your disciple?"

Issac had never considered himself to be such a righteous man, but hearing it direct from an angel made him puff out his chest with pride ever so briefly.
"So then, how would it work? I'd do business during the day and battle demons at night?" He asks, trying to get a handle on the situation.

It was true that everything about her screamed 'Angel', but even so, Issac questioned her motives rather than her existence. He had already seen demons, felt the overwhelming fear and despair that could only be explained by their otherworldly nature. To be told angels exist as well wasn't much of a stretch.
But Issac is a businessman. He knows all too well that if a deal if too good to be true, it is.
"Why? Why make me such an offer? I'm in shape, but I'm not much of a fighter. What do you stand to gain from me becoming your disciple?"
He could determine the how and plausibility of what Sarapheen was claiming later. First and foremost, Issac wanted to determine her motive.
"What makes you think I'm even capable of such a thing?"

"Sarapheen? What a strange name." Issac thought to himself as he headed over to his desk. The only people who knew about that night were Trucy and that hypnotist. This was likely another attempt by his well-meaning girlfriend to make sure he was over it.
"I'm not sure what you've heard, but I can assure you nothing as exciting as what you were told occurred on that night," he explains, placing his coffee on the table. If this was a setup by Trucy though, he should at least humour the woman.
"But I'll bite. How is it that you hope to rid me of 'them' and 'their influence'? You're not another hypnotist are you?"

Issac felt like he had just awoken from a nightmare in a cold sweat. He was certain that just a moment ago he was about to die. It felt so real... because it had to have been real.
"That's... quite alright Mr.Guzman," Issac began, his hand moving to his forehead to feel for the pentagram-like symbol. "If that's how my imagination will react, it's probably best if I didn't know what happened. Besides, my father's will has already been sorted by now. This was merely to satisfy my curiosity."
With that, Issac stood up. "Thank you for coming. If you could show him out, Trucy, I think I'm going to lie down," he added, leaving the room without waiting for a response. While he knew what happened that night, Issac still didn't know how it all ended. What happened after that demon roared? How did he make it out of there? How did he get back to his house?
As he exited the room he reached for the card that told him his birthday. Maybe now he'd finally be able to recognize it.

A demon. A real, live demon sat before Issac. There was no way any of this could be true, but Issac was forced to accept it as reality. Though he wouldn't have put it past his father to literally sell his soul to a demon in exchange for what he had.
Guess I won't be leaving that easily... He thought to himself.
"I reject your gift... and the legacy of my father," Issac replied, wincing in pain and struggling for breath as he did. His head still throbbed more than he thought possible, but complaining about the pain wouldn't help the situation.
".... And I hope the two of you burn in hell, alongside my father. You assholes deserve nothing less," he added, glaring at what was once Mr.Blume yet again. He didn't want to die, but Issac was powerless in this situation, and he sure as hell preferred death to the current alternative.

Issac glared at the two men. None of what they were saying made any sense. None of what was happening made any sense. Why couldn't he move? These men seemed to be able to manipulate Issac against his will. Such a thing shouldn't be possible. Maybe he's being hypnotized? Issac had heard of hypnotists capable of manipulating people simply by handing them things. Perhaps that was the trigger that allowed them to plant the suggestions that he was being controlled by now.
No, such a thing just isn't possible in the real world. His actions right now could only be rationalized by his fear. He was simply unable to do anything other than what these men wanted him to do due to the shear amount of fear he felt. Issac knew the situation was bad, that he was in mortal danger. Obeying their will kept them from harming him, for now.
"You have my attention..."
Even still, despite rationalizing this was all the result of fear, the only thing Issac could feel was anger. His father was dead and yet he still was managing to ruin the lives of others. How typical of him, the bastard. These men knew his father. It seems they even helped him. They must be like him. There's no way Issac could trust them.
"... and I don't want to be anything like my father. Whatever this 'gift' is, I don't want it," he replied, his gaze fixed on Mr.Blume.
"It seems we won't be discussing my father's estate after all. If that's everything you have to say, I'll be taking my leave."

Issac attempted to take a step back, begging for his legs to listen to him.
"What the hell... is this?" Is all he managed to say in between laboured breaths. This was too surreal. Who the hell are these people? Is it some sort of cult? Is he about to be made some sort of sacrifice?

"No," Issac replied, sitting in the chair. He then looked at Trucy. It seemed odd that she still cared to go through with all of this, let alone that she was excited. While he certainly cared about what happened during that night, she didn't exactly have anything to gain from it.

Issac didn't believe that this hypnotist had any chance of helping, but he wasn't about to turn down the help of his girlfriend. Besides, maybe taking his mind off of the matter for a while would help.

Issac wanted to avoid worrying Trucy, but now he doesn't think he'll be able to continue pretending nothing is wrong for much longer. She'll find out soon enough, so he might as well tell her now.
"We weren't," he replies, a hint of disdain in his tone. "It's just that I can't remember anything from last night," he continues, taking a seat on the couch.
"Nothing is making any sense. I can't even remember my own birthday!" He finishes, exasperated.

Figuring that's all he'll find out here, Issac thanks the receptionist then leaves. With no where else to turn, he heads back to his place, to lay down and try to think things through.
This whole situation just doesn't make sense. Amnesia of the meeting, the location it took place no longer existing, the men he met not even being in town at the time. If he didn't know better he'd think some sort of conspiracy was going on.
And why the hell can't he remember his birthday?

This isn't good. Maybe the men I met last night weren't associated with this business at all.
Issac thinks to himself. If that's the case it means he really was drugged and swindled out of his inheritance somehow, explaining this odd situation. Wanting to confirm this, he describes Mr. Blumenthal to the girl, to make sure he matches the person Issac met.
He'll also checks his phone for the current date, to make sure he hasn't somehow missed more than just last night.

"I... no, I had a meeting last night. I was wondering if I could get in contact with Mr. Blumenthal so we could carry on where we left last night," Issac replies, deciding that bringing attention to his sudden memory loss would only distract from his goal here.
"However, I can't seem to find the office where the meeting was held."

Issac takes one last look at the fire-escape map before walking to the receptionist.
"Yes. Is there an office for Blume & Blumenthal's around here?"

The game hates me. None of the places I normally go to is close to a pokestop. I mean, I could walk for 5 minutes to one, but I tried that before and it went like this:
- Walk to pokestop
- Wonder what I do now
- Spin the wheel
- Get 3 pokeballs
- Wild Ratata appears
- Escapes the first two that hit him because hes a CP10 beast
- Headbutts the 3rd
In other words, this game hates me.

Confused but not deterred, Issac entered the front of the building. From there he'd look for any sort of brochures or map of the building to determine if the Blumenthal office existed. Once finished, he'd look for the receptionist, to ask them about the office.

I don't remember what happened but I was told I tore my shirt off attacked three people, punched two holes in the wall, snarled at everything in sight, attacked my dad when he came to pick me up, had to be held down by several people (accomplished during a brief moment of lucidity), and I woke up somewhere having no idea how I got there, covered in scrapes and bruises, two hours of my life just missing.
Tl;dr I'm an angry drunk
It's also my 18th today so I hope i don't get a repeat of that now
100% not surprised you're an angry drunk, lol.

"...Right, of course," Issac replied, as he finished getting dressed. No need to ask further as that would probably just worry her.
"I need to go back to finish things concerning my father. It shouldn't take too long," he adds, heading to the door. This was a strange start to the morning, but he should get all the answers he needs out of Roger at that building he went to last night.

Issac shook his head and stood up, heading to his room. Temporarily not remembering his birthday is unimportant compared to not remembering last night. It's possible he was drugged and made to sign something he would normally not be willing to sign. His father was a wealthy man, something that old man would have been well aware of.
The whole situation was strange to begin with. "I should have been more careful," Issac said to himself, as he walked to take a quick shower and get dressed. Once finished he'll have to head back to the building from last night. That's the only way he'll figure out just what has happened.

Issac continued up the stairs to the door. Roger did come off as a rather creepy person, so maybe this was just how he liked to decorate his office. If he did try and pull something, Issac could simply leave and call the authorities.
"I wonder who Mr. Blumenthal is," Issac found himself thinking as he climbed the stairs. Roger had mentioned he would be here as well, and his name is on the building. Issac could only hope he was less creepy than Roger.

Issac ponders to himself briefly, before deciding to wait until 11:37 to open the door. Even if the man meant to arrive upstairs by 11:37, he would still rather be fashionably late than a few minutes early. He also found himself wondering why the exact time seemed to matter to Roger. If he had a previous engagement, then Issac certainly wouldn't want to intrude on them. Or perhaps Roger is just obsessive and Issac is overthinking things.
Either way, he made his decision.

"You know, after I finish dealing with all this, I think a vacation will be mandatory," Issac replies, opening the front door. "I probably won't be back until late, so don't wait up," he adds as he leaves, giving Trucy a quick kiss goodbye. With that, he enters his cars and heads for the address the old man gave him.

Their conversation finished, Issac gives the old man a nod and exits the funeral home. He briefly looks down at his father's urn before entering his car and placing it on the passenger seat.
There was something strange about that man, Roger. Issac remained calm and civil, but that is not a man he wants to ever see again. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer through it once more to get his father's will over with.
"... But I have no intention of salvaging my father's legacy", he affirmed to himself, before starting his car. The only thing about his father that should be remembered by others is that he was a bastard. A tyrant, just like the old man had said. Now that he was gone, Issac could finally get to righting the wrongs of his father.
Not wanting to leave the house, Issac spent the rest of the evening resting and watching T.V. Finally, when it was the appropriate time, he got ready to leave. Why did he need to be there for 11:37pm anyway?

It should depend on the context. (Though I didn't see the post in question.)
I don't foresee any real change in the Moderation level here on BHB - at least Moderator initiated. A few posts removed here-or-there, once in a great while, does not an Iron Handed Regime make.
At least I hope it doesn't feel that way.
