__**Chapter Four**__: BELFIN'S H-O-R-D-E After a few days, Milo, Winston, Grubber, and Arto went to visit Carmandy to try to get information about the horde. Carmandy was a freaky old mystic chic who liked to play the piano. She made a weird prediciton that Winston would experience the good life, then be stabbed in the back. This freaked everyone out (especially Winston). Carmandy then said that she would help them find the horde if they were do her a favor. They needed to find her son, Mat, and deliver a message to him. Mat went off to London some time ago, and Carmandy had no idea where he was. Milo, remembering his days as a detective, accepted the mission and went off. Milo and Arto checked the home of one of Mat's friends named Sarah. They found posters for a specific rock band, and some odd drugs. Armed with these flimsy clues, the team packed up and headed to London. They grabbed a hotel room and immediately set about in their search. Winston used the Grid to find out what clubs Sarah's favorite band, Prozada, would be playing at. As it turned out, they were playing a place called The Ghost House. The crew got dressed for a night on the town and went to check the London Rave scene. The Ghost House was a happening spot, and there were all kinds of kids there having a good time with the drugs and the dancing and the wild sex. Winston found two hoochies and put the moves on them, while the others shoved their way to the front of the line. There were a lot of weird things going on in the club. Lots of drugs (of course), and most likely as a result, lots of kids talking to and dancing with air. Winston got his groove back while Milo, Arto, Grubber, and Seefa went looking for Mat and Sarah. Many different people repeatedly offered the group a drug known as "5Star". Everyone but Winston steadfastly refused to take or buy any of it. Arto and Grubber began to become irate, beating and attacking the many dealers who approached them. Winston began dancing with air, and babbling about "spirits" that were about to attack Grubber. Grubber didn't understand what Winston was talking about, so he went back to beating on innocents. Meanwhile, Milo and Seefa had seen Mat and Sarah duck backstage. While Seefa tried to seduce her way past the bouncer guarding the stage (but she just couldn't get a leg up...hahahaha...yes...). Finally, Milo bought a backstage pass off some guy and they went and delivered the message to him. Milo prepared to leave, his mission accomplished. But the "spirits" had apparently taken poorly to Arto's rough treatment of the patrons. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Arto had been possessed by some extra-dimensional horror. As they left, Winston warned him of the impending danger with the odd "aura sight" that the 5Star drug had given him. Mat suggested giving Arto some 5Star to deal with his problem, but "Arto" refused. Milo, being a suspicious detective, had a conversation with Arto: Milo: "Hey, Arto, you remember when we were sparring last week? Remember how I kicked your ass all around?" Arto: "Yeah...that was...cool." Arto smiles. Milo smiles. Milo: "Grubber, hold him down." After Arto was forcefed the 5Star, he was able to beat the hell out of the spirit possessing him. Then, Milo dropped some 5Star as well. With his new astral sight, he saw several people being possessed by astral spirits like the one that possessed Arto. They were all going to an abandoned shop, and Milo and the team followed them. There, they found about 12 of the things, with one "leader" trying to sacrifice a virginal looking girl. Since Milo preferred to deflower virgins as opposed to let them die, he loaded up with gel rounds and started taking out the host bodies. Arto attacked the spirits directly with his killing hands, while Grubber attacked with his bat and even Seefa threw shuriken from her wheelchair. Soon, all the hosts were incapicitated, and the spirits had fled or died. The team went back to Carmandy to collect their reward. She gave them a book, containing a map. The map showed land features, but not the location of the horde. For that they needed an overlay, and for that, they had to go on another adventure...
