NGX House Halloween Party

The Halloween gathering at Nu Gamma Chi is already in full swing when you arrive. Follow a conversation through the house, get caught in an unexpected introduction, or find out what everyone is whispering about.

Dallas Keller

Between organising the party and fielding questions, Dallas Keller has little time for small talk. A surprising observation may get more of her attention than a polished introduction.

Fia Laurent

Someone has drawn the wrong conclusion about Fia Laurent's costume. She finds the confusion amusing, and seems in no hurry to explain what you have walked into.

Roxie Vale

Roxie Vale makes an unsettling situation sound like an ordinary evening out. Her graceful manner and playful answers leave you deciding how much of the mystery to take seriously.

Anastasia Rook

A long sleep has left Anastasia with a century of changes to catch up on. The vampire is unimpressed by most modern conveniences, but one of your explanations has made her curious.

Harlan Maddox

For Harlan Maddox, this is not just another Halloween. He has had time to prepare for your meeting, though the reason he chose this particular night remains unclear.

Daddy Issues ♥ Hazel

Hazel wanders into the quiet living room while the late film is still on. With the rest of the house asleep, the evening becomes a chance to talk without the usual interruptions.

Family Affairs

Dinner at the mansion has brought together people who remember the same events very differently. Listen carefully, decide where your loyalties lie and choose which family secret to ask about.

Soccer Sluts E3 - Hey Daddy

A match on the local soccer field has sparked another contest along the sidelines. Five strong personalities have their own opinions, alliances and reasons for wanting your attention.

Nicole Wagner

Twenty-one-year-old Nicole Wagner is trying to get back to her convent after missing her ride. With night settling in, she knocks on an unfamiliar door and asks for help working out what to do next.

Sabrina Palmer

Sabrina Palmer spends her weekdays teaching English at the local college. Tonight the 38-year-old has escaped her usual routine, only to recognise you across the room and remember a question she never asked.

Yuki San

You expected the ritual to end with a laugh and a darkened room. Instead, Yuki San is standing in front of you, apparently as interested in your explanation as you are in hers.

Adriana Phillips

Adriana Phillips needs someone to play the part of a suitor, and at 21 she has already thought through most of the arrangement. Before you agree, there is one detail she would rather discuss in person.

Samantha Nelson

Samantha Nelson used to share your position at the office. Her promotion has changed who makes the decisions, but it has not erased everything the two of you know about each other.

Hailey Harris

An unpleasant breakup has made Hailey Harris reconsider whose opinions she trusts. Her warmth is still there; she is simply learning to make room for her own voice in a conversation.

Taylor Emerson

The kitchen should be empty at this hour, but Taylor Emerson has had the same idea as you. The easygoing 21-year-old turns a late-night interruption into an unexpectedly comfortable exchange.

Vanessa Riley

Vanessa Riley's Caribbean trip will reunite four friends whose lives have moved in different directions. Packing for the holiday brings back an old story she is finally ready to revisit.

Brianna Edwards

Brianna Edwards sees an opportunity in the new contract, and she does not intend to watch someone else make all the choices. Hear her proposal before deciding whether your plans can work together.

Katherine Richardson

At 22, Katherine Richardson is still finding her way around campus. She has heard plenty of confident advice already; an honest admission might make a more interesting first impression.

Valentina: The Karen from Hell

Valentina is certain there is a right way to handle this situation, and she has several objections to yours. You can argue the details, find common ground or discover what is behind her impossible standards.

Chloe Knight: An Equitable Solution

Chloe Knight wants a practical answer to a problem neither of you can ignore. She notices evasions quickly, but she will listen when you give her a reason to reconsider.

Julia Bryant

There is more to Julia Bryant's invitation than a change of plans. She begins cautiously, weighing your reaction before deciding how much of the story to share.

Paige Evans

Paige Evans had her own plans for the afternoon until this meeting interrupted them. Her humour comes easily; whether she changes her schedule depends on where the conversation goes.

Vanessa Brooks

Before either of you gets into the car, Vanessa Brooks wants to clear something up. She is willing to hear your side, provided you say what you mean.

Kaori Chen: Stray Catgirl

Kaori Chen has settled somewhere comfortable while the evening passes. The adult catgirl is curious about the household, cautious about her past and not yet sure what to make of you.

Delphine Yates

A peaceful neighbourhood afternoon gives Delphine Yates time to stop and talk. An everyday introduction starts to reveal an interest you did not realise you shared.

Ximena Diaz

Ximena Diaz treats a lazy afternoon at the pool as a chance for a little friendly competition. She has a quick answer ready, but she is waiting to see whether you will challenge it.

Ashley Lockwood

The storm makes Ashley Lockwood's cabin the only sensible place to stop. The writer offers shelter, then returns to a manuscript that seems strangely connected to the questions you brought inside.

Maria Turner

Maria Turner left after four years together, without the conversation you needed to have. Meeting again does not undo the silence, but it gives both of you a chance to decide what happens now.

Shelby Vega

Shelby Vega has another away game on her calendar. The Los Angeles Ladies' small forward would like a conversation that is not measured in training sessions, flight times or the next result.

Iris Calder

A message from archivist Iris Calder sends you to a cemetery with a plot number and a deadline. The name on the stone does not match her records, and the grounds will close before long.

Kelsey Campbell

Kelsey Campbell's name on the appointment list could belong to anyone. When your former college acquaintance walks into the office, a routine meeting becomes something neither of you had prepared for.

Leila Rahimi: Your Wife Leads the League

A volume left in a neighbour's study points to a game with its own private rules. Leila Rahimi seems to understand it already; your first decision is how directly to ask her what she knows.
