Season one catchup preplay

There'll be more detail in the OCD, but the basic shape is this:

As You Were: Duke and Octavia head back to Haven for Audrey's surprise birthday party (braced for troubles). They head out to a remote island off the coast where everyone's gathered at an old, closed down hotel. The proprietor turns out to be a shapeshifter that kills the people it turns into. Everyone wonders who the baddie really is. The ME dies, Lucifer sends up a demon to possess her body and yell at Duke for dragging Octavia back into his world's bullshit. Audrey is revealed to be the shapeshifter, but didn't die because She's Different. They all go back to the mainland, where Duke reveals that he's the kid in the Colorado Kid murder picture, and Audrey emotionally blackmails him into sticking around longer to answer some questions.

The Hand You're Dealt: Duke and Audrey hunt down and question a couple of the other people in the Colorado Kid photo. Meanwhile, Nathan and Audrey try to track down someone with a fire trouble. Duke's old babysitter turns out to have death visions when she touches people, and after getting blown up by the fire trouble, tells Duke how he's going to die right before she dies herself.

The Trial of Audrey Parker: Audrey talks Duke into hosting a poker game before leaving. Two of the other guests hijack the boat to try and get something Duke's smuggling for a client. Honestly there are a lot of holes in this thanks to the way things are shaping up with Fandom in the mix. Why would Octavia let Duke stick around when now they KNOW someone in Haven is going to kill him? Octavia isn't a good replacement for Julia, Julia's a ninny. Octavia would just beat the shit out of the baddies for being mean to Duke. And getting the boat cracked delays them too much in going back to Fandom. Maybe we should skip this one. It doesn't really add much to Duke's character development that hasn't kinda been covered by Fandom anyway.

As You Were

[seaoftroubles]

It's Audrey's birthday, and everyone's throwing her a surprise party at an old abandoned hotel on a remote island. Because, you know. As you do. There is a murder. They wonder whodunnit. There's a big storm. It's all very classic noir-horror.

I think we can live-play the scene where they decide to head back to Haven for the party.

The Hand You're Dealt

[seaoftroubles]

Duke tries to help Audrey investigate the Colorado Kid murder by connecting her to one of the other people in the photo, his old babysitter Vanessa. Their questions freak her out enough to activate her trouble: visions of how the people she touches are going to die. She ends up a suspect in Nathan's investigation into a bunch of fire related deaths, because she sees them before they happen. They figure out that one of her students is doing it, track him to an outdoor movie night event, just in time for her to get caught in the crossfire as he goes nuts and tries to kill everyone. Audrey talks the kid into exploding himself, while Duke tries to offer first aid/comfort to Vanessa. In return, she tells him how he'll die, just before she bites it herself.

Which we may or may not do at all.

The two card sharks show up as Duke and Octavia are getting ready to leave. When Duke refuses to play, they try to hijack the boat.

Octavia beats them into the ground.

As sad as it makes me to potentially lose this moment. . . .
