[Romero]

Any room to still jump on board with this one?

Aw, you're always a ray of sunshine in my RP's so hopefully you don't get too scarce. I have no intention of this RP dying.

@POOHEAD189

Such dedication! _{Which means he's gonna come after us with a baseball bat if we don't post}

[Amaranth]

Don't hit me with a baseball bat, I'll get a post up in the next day or so.

[Dervish]

@Amaranth Maybe one of those plastic wiffle bats...

@Amaranth

This could be us but you playin'

[POOHEAD189]

Going to be moving it along this week. If anyone else wants to post, now is the time!

[POOHEAD189]

Well stuff piled on me, but I'll give a post to move us along saturday night!

[Penny]

We like to move it move it!

[POOHEAD189]

Aaaand now it's in my head.

[POOHEAD189]

So, essentially we are doing this in two parts.

1) The character's acceptance of the proposal
2) They will be driven by cab to their respective residences and will have their thoughts shared on this glorious expedition, and are expected to be up at the mansion first thing the next morning.

[ihinka]

I'll try and have a post up Friday-ish since I have some after work work this week.

[Dervish]

@POOHEAD189 Friendly idea, but what about rooms being offered at the mansion? Seems kind of counter-productive to bring everyone out there (most seemed to travel quite far) and then send them off after a brief meeting and then come back again in the morning.

[Penny]

I actually have a third idea. How about people head off with the intention of coming back in the morning but during the night or in the morning receive a telephone call or telegram warning them not to return to she mansion but instead report to the S.S Demeter in south Hampton. The idea is that the mansion is under surveillance and is no longer safe.

This will allow us to move the action forward and loop in the antagonists. One of the more action oriented characters could even be the one to spot it and put out the warning

[Dervish]

I quite like that. It'll definitely give us some stuff to work with with our individual posts/ have characters seek mutual transportation.

[Penny]

Ok so that will be our plan then:

Go home with the intent of coming back for final preparations in the morning.

Discover that the manor isn’t safe. This can be in the form of a telephone call, a telegram or spotting that you are personally under surveillance. It can even be from another PC if you want to collaborate.

Characters should somehow get the word from the Baron (or Jack if you prefer an Australian accent) that the new plan is to meet at South Hampton at noon the next day to embark on the Steam Ship Demeter bound for Porto (Portugal) > Dakhar(Senegal) > Kinshasha (Congo).

How you get to the ship is up to you. If you want to have a brush with the Nazi’s (plain clothes gestapo types - actually Arhenerber operatives) you are welcome to do so. If you want to have an uneventful morning and do some shopping… knock yourself out.

Shoot me or post here if you have any questions/ideas.


@Amaranth Going to PM you.

[spicykvnt]

@ihinka Do you think its okay for Florence and Ellen to know each other? I think with Ellen being a student of Anthro she would have worked at some point with Florence's Pa and the two would have met.

@POOHEAD189 Similarly, I think she would know Al too. They studied the same degrees so may have crossed paths at some point at related events etc for their work. Might even work that she recognises and knows him but he doesn't know her - at all haha

If all good I will include it in my next post!

@Stormflyx

"Oh hi...uh...do I know you?"

I can see it already. Love it.

[ihinka]

@Stormflyx Sure, sure, I don't mind that... The better to tease

[The Scotsman]

Hey, I saw above that it looks like you're not accepting more characters, but I thought I'd double check in the event that I was wrong. Thanks either way!

[ihinka]

@POOHEAD189@Penny Would it be safe to assume the mantion is being observed by foul elements even at the moment? I might have an incling of an idea for my next post if that would be the case.

Also, sorry I couldn't get a post up Friday... The weekend kinda snuck up on me -_-
