GB: If You've Got It, Haunt It! (continuing)
Mod
Mayhem emerged from a wall vent at the Stonebrook Theater and attacked a janitor, tossing him around the room. Jonathan, the theater manager, screamed scaring him off. The team has been called in to investigate the scene. Team member 2 finds a Hyper-Ionization Device in one of the rooms. Team member 4 enters the laundry room and finds it filled with mannequins. Thinking that the room is full of nightmares, team member 4 turns around to leave. One of the mannequin heads turns slowly, then it follows the team member around the corner. The team member turns around and sees the mannequin. The team member decides to quickly enter the Wardrobe room and close the door. The mannequin chases the team member and kicks a hole in it. Its eyes are glowing red. Can the team defeat it?

Apologies guys, been really busy and not getting any notifications from GR at the moment I don’t have anything with a mirror on the cover, so I might have to duck out
GR and the notification system need to get it together. Mine are the same way.
Mod
Looks like it, it’s almost been 2 months. It’s a shame though, I was enjoying it.
It's up to you guys! I am still here so maybe we could try with 3 and someone read a double?
