The Nocturnum
Episode 1: Snowflake Valley
Brief Synopsis
The Cast finds themselves stranded in a po-dunk town in the middle of the Appalachian mountains during a freak blizzard, with a wrecked automobile and responsible for running over a Native American shaman. A series of grizzly murders begin the night the Cast arrives, and they find themselves prime suspects in the investigation. A new acquaintence arrives on the scene to inform the cast that unfortunately, something far, far darker is behind the killings in Miner's Folly...
Great Quotes:
Sam (out of character, regarding the late Walter Gray): Now, just because you're a cultist, doesn't mean you're evil!
Sam (out of character joke): And this season, all the internet fans are bitching that they've changed the format and killed off Kat!
Anita (On the snowstorm and accident): Well, this sucks!
Drake: I Know What You Did Last Winter!
Anita (to John): Thanks a lot, WALTER!
Julie (on Sherriff Dumont's name): Oh, that's a Cthulhu name right there...Jesus...
Drake: You're all in danger...
Cyan: Oh, yes, please Drake, grace me with the honor of entering my bedroom!
Cyan: This is like a Scooby-Doo vacation.
Anita: Drake...I want you to eat the sherriff.
Drake: You know, when you're a vampire, you don't have to deal with this crap.
Daniel: So, the only part of this I'm not clear on is how you raise the dead and talk to them.
Drake (to Daniel): We don't refer to Kat as "the Goth Chick." We refer to her as the "Slayer McDeadlette."
Drake: So have you ever been in a cult?
Daniel (to John): Oh, I ain't normal, but you're not glowing, either.
Julie (ooc remark): Oh! He has handouts! It IS Cthulhu!
Anita: I see dead people. I always feel loved.
Drake: I've eaten half of Europe.
Anita: Wow, Daniel. You have a fondness for stating the obvious. You remind me of someone. Does he remind any of you of someone?
Anita (on phone with Alan): Hi, Alan? Anita. Look, I'm stuck in this little one-horse town, our truck is broken down, we're in the mountains. There's snow everywhere. Oh, and we're prime suspects in two grizzly murders. GET ME OUT OF HERE, NOW!
John: So, Drake, what was with you falling out of thin air? Can you turn invisible, now?
Cyan (smacks him in the face): Don't you ever knock!?
Drake: Mmmm...Scooby Snacks...Mmmm...
John: Yeah, except you already killed the grizzled old man!
Anita: Bugger off!
Anita: Check, please!
John (spits out his drink): NO, WE DON'T!!!
Daniel: It's funny you should mention that, actually...
Drake: Cultist?
Alan: Oh, dear. But you didn't actually kill anyone, did you?
Anita: Of course not!
Alan: Right. Well, I'll do what I can. We don't really have any Rosicrucian shrines in the Allegheny mountains...
Anita: Do you have a car?
Alan: Yes, but not one that would drive in the snow-filled mountains, I fear.
Anita: Do you have a credit card? Do you have FEET?
Drake: Not at all. I climbed a tree. It attacked me, and I climbed a tree. When a bear attacks you, you climb a tree. (Walks away)
John (yelling after him): BEARS CAN CLIMB TREES! BEARS CAN KNOCK DOWN TREES!
Daniel: (snickers)
Great moments:
Drake, upon hearing that the group has arrived in Miner's Folly, stands right outside of Cyan and Anita's hotel room, waiting for them to open the door.John gets smart with the cops, in desperate hopes of getting locked up in jail for the night, "so [John] can get some peace and quiet!"
The group meets Daniel, who has been scoping them out since they arrived in town, when Anita simply walks up to his pickup truck and asks him if he speaks American Indian.
For the first time since they've gotten together, the group desperately tries to do things "by the book." It's not happening.
Anita swears never to take another vacation. She calls and begs their employer, Dana Green, and her Rosicrucian beau for help getting the hell out of town.
Daniel grabs a werewolf by the throat and power slams it, knocking it unconscious. He then runs for his life.
Drake exhibits his new mystical abilities for the first time. He then proceeds to lie to the group about it. ("What? I climbed a tree. When a bear attacks you, you climb a tree.")
Anita almost chokes when Daniel refers to himself as "the Chosen One, destined to defend the people against the demons and vampires." She's intrigued by the discovery of Totem Warriors, and thinks that it's something the new Watcher's Council should be aware of.
