Note:
 
Satan has such free reign in this world that if he so wanted too, he can walk upon holy ground and not "burst into flames." The reason being is because he has not been cast out of the area by the population that has 'owns' it. This is made worst by preceding generations not keeping up with the casting and driving out ceremonies to keep him at bay; when that is no longer done, he walks right back in. But, in his mere presence of walking around does not make people Satan worshipers or uncleanness an area, he is there to observe. If he sees one wanting to join his flock then he will do his beast to make sure that the choice is made easier for them. For Satan, it is like that game show - "Lets make a deal." Thing is, are people willing to make such a deal, and what kind of deal will they get on their end?
 
Yes, I have seen Hotel Transylvania I & II and know Mavis quite well. You should get Kodi for the R-Pi and look it up, it is on the Kodi Video Streams. And yes, Mavis is a Succubus, a female child born to Satan, Demons or in this case, Vampires. This makes her more than just a vampire but the basic definition remains as a character of these two shows.

RPG:
 
"There is a lot more than just the dragon out there. You got 5 square miles of celebrating town out there, each section with their own way of celebrating." Fernando points to his left, "Heh... that looks like the Italian Giglio celebrations I used to be part of long ago... 500 men carrying a 50-ton 100ft statue of St Giglio and a music band on the second level on their shoulders down the streets without causing it to fall down while the people around them danced and celebrated with great food; never in its 187 years has any of these statues fell. The thing is, what is a Giglio statue doing out here, and why it is using used, unless the people forgot its original purpose and are celebrating as they see fit. Either way, as nice to see it happen, I do not want to be there when it falls..."

 
He continues, "And who knows what is going on in the areas where we can not see. Looks like there is a 1,000 naked man celebration before you get to the dragon dance. Heh... a thousand naked men all eyeing the prize of a Talisman that will bring them good luck for the rest of the year in a competition of strength and endurance"

 
"So go do yourself a favor, as tiny as this part of the world it, explore it. Get to know the people and what they do here. Enjoy the sights, sounds and food, even it is not to your liking. I'll be up here observing." Fernando tells Moro with Mavis intently looking a the areas Fernando pointed out.

Note: The discussion of how much free reign Satan has on the Earth is getting too close to a theological debate. I believe allowing Satanism opens a door. You do not. Let's bring it back to what's important to this RPG. Should there be a limited form of freedom of religion or one religion?
 
I'm sticking to what I said. I borrowed a character from a movie and made her a Spirit to fit the story.
 
RPG:
 
"Wow, Fernando. You know so much." Flattering Fernando is not Mavis' intent. "It helps to know something about what I see. There's an Italian community in Charlton, along the northern shore of Mountain Creek Lake, but I've never seen anything like this before."

Note:
It should have been alone in the first place. Why deal with it now, as this is an Charlton issue and not a RPG issue per say. These so-called spirits are supposed to be enlightened? Then they are to know that it is either All-The-Way with Humans or "No-Way." Having something in between will create strife and grief because humans are inquisitive in their nature. It is one or the other not something that will satisfy some and not others. This will cause issues and dissidents.
 
How ever you use the RPG Mavis is on you. That does not disguise what the character is in the movie and your twisting her of to fit the RPG as a Spirit. The two are nothing alike. Your Mavis and the HT 1 & 2 movies' Mavis are not the same.

"If you want to learn, then you should be out there learning. Either way in what you and Moro choose, I am to be left alone when I ask for it." He tells them

Note: You were the one who brought this up in response to something in a story post. I never said these people are enlightened. I said they are technologically advanced. These people never claimed to be spirits. As I have said more than once the term "Spirit" was used by humans from Earth to describe people who are either not human or not from Earth. The term stuck so that is the term the Spirits use. There will be one religion, Judaism.
 
I know. You say this every time I borrow a character and make changes to the character.
 
RPG:
 
"Thank you, Fernando." Mavis transforms into a bat and heads out the window.
 
"Mavis, hit the breaks." Moro has a concern.
 
Mavis flies back in and transforms to her human form.
 
Moro continues. "Fernando, Mavis wants to join us. What are your thoughts? She's a professional driver and nocturnal so she can drive one of the Volkswagens at night, like we did to get to this town." Moro thinks about it. "Mavis, come to think of it, there is something else you can do. It would be a dull but important job."
 
"What is it?"
 
"A night watchman."
 
"Okay."
 
"People will be counting on you. Can I trust you to handle it?"
 
"Sure."

Note:
 
Whether they are ETs or spirits or what ever you state them to be. They are supposed to be enlightened beings, with knowledge that is supposed to be superior to ours. Apparently, now you are saying that they are not?

RPG:
 
"Who am I to determine who is on the team and who is not, Moro? If you trust her, despite that I do not trust you because of what you did with Elsa, and of you think she would be an asset to the team, then welcome her to the team. I am not going to question it, but as a fair warning, any team member that turns against the team for what ever reason will be dealt with accordingly. Because no one is going to betray this team or any of its individual members, including you Moro. We are to work together or not work at all. Do I make clear?" Fernando tells her.

Note: My characters and I have never said these people are enlightened or superior beings. I have said they are technologically advanced and I have said humans from Earth call them "Spirits." Just because this race is able to transform, build a time machine and other engineering marvels, make discoveries and put those discoveries to practice does not mean they enlightened or superior. They are still learning, figuring things out and putting all that to practical use.
 
RPG:
 
"You, Jeanette and Hikaru have made decisions before regarding members being approved. Why stop now?" Moro answers. "Regarding Elsa, the offer to visit King Agnarr of Arendelle still stands. And yes, you are clear."
 
"I got it, Fernando." Mavis replies. "I sleep during the day. The rest of the time I'll do what needs to be done such as drive and watch over the camp while everyone else sleeps. I also know a few recipes."
 
Moro thinks. "Mavis, instead of flying to Charlton and back to get your suitcase, we'll transport you to Charlton and transport you back when you're ready. I know you're an adult; I would hate for you to fly by yourself for hundreds of miles."
 
"You're staring to sound like Dad."
 
"Everyone wants to be sure you're safe."

"As long as you do not disappear and Jeanette does not know where you are, Moro, I do not care what is decided in who is joining or leaving and by whom. I'm just giving an open invitation to those who want to come with us on Charlton are welcomed to do so. If they need support or help to do this trip, then we will give them that help in exchange for helping us with the day-to-day chores that need to be done. We may have a lot of food, but some things need to be gotten fresh, like milk and meats and some of us need the food freshly done because our stomachs can't handle food that has been prepared and then stored hours, if not days later." Fernando explains, "If you want to cook, Mavis, talk to Val about helping out in the kitchen. You should inform her that being nocturnal you would be having breakfast when everybody's having dinner. Maybe you can figure out what to do with the Mutant Giant Chicken Eggs. And it is still questionable if Karl wants to stay with us or not, but until he leaves, he has limited guard duty from the afternoon to mid evening as part of his duties here with us. There is a situation with him and one of the girls, but I think that has been addressed and resolved. Everybody has a place to stay and a job or two to do. Hondo and I may seen to disappear and do a lot of sitting down doing nothing, that's for you to figure out what we do. And Jeanette's the leader of the group in some official capacity though we tend to discuss things and vote on them, and in a worst case, we act on our own to get things done. How ever you are comfortable with getting things done, is on you."
 
An older woman wearing celebratory military garb walks into the conference room looking for Fernando, "There you are." She hands him a leather bound folder with several documents inside, "This is for your assistant to adopt those two girls we spoke about. Make sure he gets it, have him, his wife and the girls sign them, and bring them back to me in the morning where I will get them stamped officially and the girls becomes his daughters. There are four (4) copies for each of the girls, one for him, one for the girls, two for our records. They all have to be filled out and signed, 4 papers for each girl. If he has any questions, he can ask me in the morning. I'll be at my grandson's weapons and firearms shop."
 
Fernando takes the leather bound folder, looking at the parchment papers inside. He then closes it, "Thank you. I'll make sure he gets it and he will bring them back to you in the morning, General Jastrey."  
 
They both shake hands before she leaves the conference room. Fernando looks at Moro and Mavis.
 
"This room is officially closed as soon as I leave it. So lets go now so I can find Hondo and give these documents and the instructions to him." Fernando tells them as he points to the door for them to leave through.

Note: I don't understand why Fernando has such an objection to verifying what Moro says especially when it is so easy to do.
 
RPG:
 
"What's a mutant giant chicken egg?" Mavis asks.
 
"They are eggs laid by giant chickens." Moro answers.
 
"One of the girls?" Mavis asks. "I read that Karl played Tonya and Zoey, tried to break up Ruth's family and threatened the party."

"Let's go!" Mavis is excited to see how the different cultures celebrate.

That is how Fernando is, that is his character.
 
RPG:
 
Fernando goes out and find Hondo.
 
"I think they may have given you some adoption papers, but here. This is what General Jastrey gave me. She wants you to get them filled out and signed by you, Val and the girls. Each girl has 4 papers fill and sign each, so there are 8 papers to fill. You go see General Jastrey at Tom's or what's his name weapon's shop in the morning. She will have the papers stamped and officiated and the girls will be your daughters." Fernando explains as he hands him the leather folder to him.
 
"How you holding out?" Hondo asks.
 
"Tired. Just tired. Macey behaving for you?" Fernando says and asks.
 
"She's behaving well. She and Zoey are goin' from stand to stand." Hondo answers.
 
"Good." Fernando answers, adding, "I'm going to get a drink. You want you something?"
 
"I'll go wit you. I think there's a beer and grill stand over there, and I can keep an eye on Zoey and Macey from there." Hondo answers as he points to a near by food stand.

The ladies watch as a statue of St. Giglio is carried. Moro is on her mobile device giving the history of this event:
 
Around 1900 Italian's left Italy in search of a better life for their families. During this time Southern Italy was a very desperate place holding little to no promise of a bright future for the many starving families. Many had no choice but to pack up their belongings and take a chance on moving to the promise of the New World, America.
 
Many families from the town of Brusciano, Italy migrated to East Harlem, NY to start new with other families and friends that came before them. Although these immigrants brought little with them on the thirty day voyage across the Atlantic in the tight confines of the boat. What they did carry with them where their beloved traditions. For the people of Brusciano, this included their yearly Dance of the Giglio festival in honor of Sant' Antonio.
 
It was around this time that the Italian immigrants of E. 106th St. in East Harlem decided to initiate their beloved tradition by building a Giglio and dancing it in the New World. The first Giglio Feast on 106th St. in East Harlem started approximately 1908. Gioacchino Vivolo is credited for being the first Capo Paranza on 106th St. He along with his brother Roco Vivolo were members of the Bruscianese Society and were influential in bringing this tradition to East Harlem from Brusciano, Italy.

 
Mavis verbalizes what she's thinking. "Charlton has an Italian community. I wonder why I haven't seen anything like this before."
