Session 26 Notes
Recorded April 5, 2025
Our thanks to Ben for his extra effort with the notes.
General Summary
- We started the session with Cillian taking off running after the guy that fell out of the curtains as Doc goes immediately to Millie's side and tries to get her out of the building.
- The stranger has a good lead on him, but Cillian is able to get out of the aisle and after him. There are some crashing sounds and shouts of alarm as the guy disappears back stage.
- Cillian hauls himself up onto the stage and continues after the guy and the chase is on, but there are a variety of barriers and hazards that are in his path.
- Cillian hears an argument going on back stage as he gets to the closed curtains.
- Cillian bursts through the curtains and sees the man he is chasing arguing with a man toward the rear of the backstage area, gaining ground on the stranger.
- The stranger pulls out a large blade and cuts the guy he is arguing with across the arm with the knife and takes off toward a back exit door. The stranger is running with a bit of a limp and he keeps looking back at Cillian as he runs.
- Cillian gets caught up on some debris as he chases and loses a little ground.
- Cillian crashes into the door to follow after him and barrels through a crate the guy put there.
- The stranger rushes out into the street and a mouth of the alley is a police officer who yells at the stranger.
- There is another officer in the direction that the heads the guy off and the two cops take him down, and begin to beat the hell out of the guy with their batons.
- Cillian looks around and sees the other group of three cops have begun to move across the street towards the theatre. Cillian melts back into the alley and out of sight.
- He rushes back in and tries to aid the guy that got cut and tries to stem the bleeding.
- Floyd continues to lead Millie Adams and Rebecca Shosenburg out of the theatre and wants to get her to safety.
- Floyd sees that there are a bunch of officers across the street that seem to be watching the theatre.
- The Doc elects to move back into the theatre with Millie and Rebecca.
- With Floyd and Cillian back together we get help from Millie and the man the Doc helped to move toward the space underneath the stage to hide from the police.
- Rebecca seems to be put together, but she is definitely putting on a brave face for Millie, she is afraid for Millie. Millie is pretty upset.
- Mop guy and the guy we helped are doing their best to answer the cops questions but are definitely trying divert them away from where we are.
- We wait down there for nearly an hour before the injured man calls the all clear.
- Rebecca takes Millie home and we split up to head back to the hotel by subway.
- We get together with Boris and John and go over the the information we have all learned.
- Boris has a reaction to the image on Cowles' Glass Slideand recognizes it as something he has seen in one of his visons he had in Peru.
- Boris also pics up that the news paper Articles About the New York City Murders outline dates. Most of the dates of the murders are all close to or coincide to the new moon. However, the murder that Hilton Adams was found at was also not on the new moon, neither was Jackson.
- The next new moon is Sunday.
Keeper Note:
The happened on Wednesday, January 21st, 1925. So the Sunday in question is January 25th.
- John was able to recognize that the dialect was from Africa and what he said when he fell out of the curtain was a swear word.
- Cillian and Doc describes the stranger and John recognizes the description of the guy as the same guy that he chased out of Jackson's room.
Keeper Note:
To state this directly. The man spying on the conversation in the theatre was also present at the murder of Jackson Elias.
- In thinking about the cops being at the theatre we remember that Lt. Martin Poole saw the note with the meeting time and place.
- We decide, with the encounter with the cops, we might need to find a different place for lodging.
- She recommended that we check out the Alcazar on 42. (Mickey also recommended it) It isn't as nice, but it is out of the way.
- We decide to grab our stuff, surreptitiously leave the Hotel Chelsea, we don't check out so it looks like we are still there and relocate to the Alcazar Hotel and make a plan for the next day.
- We ended the session there.
Session 26:
Curtain Fall
Warped and bigoted with preconceived illusions of justice, freedom, and consistency, they cast off the old lore and the old way with the old beliefs; nor ever stopped to think that the lore and those ways were the sole makers of their present thoughts and judgments, and the sole guides and standards in a meaningless universe without fixed aims or stable points of reference.
~H. P. Lovecraft
