Re: OOC

1. I'm fine with Harry getting back to the doctor's place uninterrupted.

2. After thinking it over... while I think most people just give a penny or two to travelling blade-sharpeners, it makes sense to me that the doctor would have his own sharpening-stone, for scalpels and such. So, yeah, not gonna make you roll to find one.

Re: OOC


Here I come back and find I'm delighted by the role-playing going on. Good job on the "the accusation is enough" bit, but it's all awesome honestly.

So, anything you need me to adjudicate, or we're still talking a little more as yet?

We're going to discover what the search parties have turned up, if in fact any of the search parties return from searching. We have such a huge array of missing persons right now (Regina. Reverend Trask. Professor Willoughby. Doctor McKenzie. Bigby Macintyre. Reuben Gallow. Unnumbered NPCs), would be nice to have a couple of corpses turn up.

Incidentally, y'know what the original Dark Shadows had? Gypsies!

...Which we all understand, these days, is a slur.

And yes, having a legitimate awesome gothic (stereotype) show up in Maine in tribal numbers is bizarre, but they did it anyway. (On top of being a big Gothic trope, it was also part of the show's elaborate dance around having black racial issues. We talked about Martinique and Barbados and voodoo and trade with the Caribbean and indentured servants and very carefully did NOT ever once officially mention slavery and very seldom had any people of color on the show (although actress Grayson Hall maintained that she did actually have a little Romani heritage in her background and RELISHED her "gypsy fortuneteller" role).

So, uh... anyone object to some Romani showing up sooner or later?


So, uhh... no comment on the above?

1. C'mon, guys, seriously: would anyone be offended if I included some Romani (see above), or should I just avoid that altogether?

2. So we're all three going to see if the search parties have found anything?

Yeah, and I'm sorry for my slowness, too. Work mostly, but also health stuff (not covid, but still).

Re: OOC


Haven't forgotten y'all-- what with work and family and health it's getting so Sunday keeps seeming like my only day to play-- and NOT LAST Sunday...

Let's hope tomorrow isn't like last Sunday--

Re: OOC

I can't leave my apartment building because there are police and a dead body in the lobby blocking the elevator. Fun day thus far... O.O

Re: OOC

Follow-up on Monday's events: The deceased was in fact a neighbor from the floor below mine who I chatted with when I first moved in. She was on supplemental oxygen for emphysema, and her lungs just finally gave out. She’d felt poorly earlier that morning. Apparently the police were there just as standard operating procedure, the deceased called 911 for an ambulance and came down to wait in the lobby but died before they arrived.
