| Lisa is a reporter for a weekly News Magazine. She is known for her in-depth interviews and gut- wrenching reporting. She knows a pretty face can get her in anywhere and she takes full advantage of it. Once gets in though, she turns off the charm, and ruthlessly go in for the kill. She has learned to disguise herself, since her growing reputation makes it increasingly harder for her to get stories. But even that doesn’t slow her down. Driven to avoid doing the same kinds of stories week after week she may find herself chasing down the owner of a toxic waste dump one week, and running from a Were rat the next. Her editor is never sure if she has enough sense to stay out of things she can’t cope with. He can often be heard throughout the news-room yelling, “Enough with the science fiction mumbo jumbo! Who do you think you are, Carl Kolchak? We don’t work for the Twilight Zone Magazine! Stick with the stories people will believe!” |

| The lead into the game. Lisa, you’ve been looking into the Charles Escott’s Detective agency. The harder you look the more you think that you’re not the only escapee from The Night Stalker. Two weeks into your investigation, you find a baker’s dozen roses “twelve white, one black” on the front seat of your car. Next to the roses, you find a small note. |
Dear Ms. Eizo It must be a slow news week if you can’t find anything better to investigate than my little agency and me. And if you do have nothing better to do with your time than to look into my past, then you’d best come to the source. I’m having a little get-together tonight around 7:00 p.m. If you like, you can bring a friend. Yours truly, Charles Escott Charles Escott |
