@Penny*after seeing her privileged knowledge* Oh, man, all those hours spent watching crime shows are finally paying off

You have whatever you want to have, feel free to make up if it is company issue or personal. Keep in mind that it is a noirish setting though so the company isn't giving out Aston Martins.

Everyone has licences to screw with the setting. You are free to make up clues and use any of the NPC's except Ellie without consulting me.

@Penny what about exploding pens?

@jasonwolf@PennyOr Omega watches that shoot out grappling wires

Also... I did my best to sound like a proper professional FBI shrink Man, I loved that show, Profiler, back in the day

These are some good posts.

I'll post tomorrow. Dealing with financial drama tonight.

@jasonwolf My sympathies!

@Penny I just realized they are going to Maine. The last paranormal group I was in was in Maine. If I may be so bold, may I ask that Leon has a contact up in Maine who might have some information on recent ongoings? They might at least know any big stuff that's happened recently maybe not anything that has to do with the case, but stuff.

I'll have a post in by tomorrow evening, gang. :3

Sorry about the delay! I'm working on this post and a handful of others, but with my test only a week away, my posting schedule will probably be a bit more scarce than I'd like. I should have something up by Saturday at the absolute latest though!

@jasonwolf Of course that would be wonderful. Ill be happy to let you control him as much as you need.

So we have basic control over NPCs except for Ellie?

Yes your more than welcome to control them. If it gets out of hand Ill just ask you to tone it back a little but I dont forsee a problem. Just makes conversation and stuff alot easier in posts.

I just simulated me trying to shoot myself in the right eye with my right hand using my Walther P22 airsoft replica... The angle was so awkward my wrist cried out in pain. Admittedly it's my busted wrist but it would be hard to shoot yourself like this. With two hands, maybe. Even opposite arm on eye was still a bit awkward. And I would imagine it would be difficult looking at the barrel and it wouldn't do much for one's determination.

Well...you certainly have dedication to realism.

Hey all!

Ack, yesterday got away from me a bit. Still working on a post, and I'm busy for most of the day today, so it'll probably be late before I get round to it.

A few things though (some of which are going to wind up in my post):

- It is an awkward angle to hold the gun the way you normally would (with your hand around the grip from the rear). I believe I can manage it with one of my pistols, but I'm not going to try because no. I suddenly wish I hadn't given away all my prop guns when I moved.

- However, you don't need to hold it that way. If all you care is the...er...final result, hooking your thumb into the trigger and the rest of your fingers around the rear of the grip would do the job. The gun would go flying, and your aim wouldn't be spectacular, but it would be more than good enough. I expect this would leave an unusual gunshot-residue pattern on your hands, but I've never done GSR detection or pattern analysis (or is that even a thing?) and hope never to.

- The P220 doesn't normally come chambered in .22LR, which is something Morgan will be at least mentioning because I find that an interesting detail. While there have been factory P220s chambered in .22 (including the P220 Classic .22), Sig seems to discontinue them quickly in favor of a dedicated small-frame pistol or pointing out that the conversion kit exists. They certainly are out there, but the comparative rarity (or installation of a conversion kit, which may be even more unusual) might be important. It might not. I rather expect not, really.

Just curious, is it okay for us to make up clues about the case or should we ask you about specific information? For example, in the post I'm working on, I wanted to see if there were any messages left by the sister they could listen to. Is it okay for me to assume there were and what the messages sounded like or should we run stuff like that by you first?

Seconded. Especially as Leon is able to spot things most overlook. I just assumed the bathroom photo had nothing because there was nothing in the special info hider.

Do also remember that our characters aren't special in every circumstance too. Like, you shouldn't be able to see everything or every clue and sometimes you'll need the others to be there to see stuff. Not saying anyone would, but I've been in games before where there are just some characters that were good at everything. You WILL get hurt sometimes, you WILL miss stuff sometimes, and you WILL need help sometimes. Just a reminder :)
