Douglas Flannagan (Aug 4, 2010 11:59:50 PM)
No I mean from the guy who took her? I don't think Bob is the one to sweep her off her feet.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:00:28 AM)
"No spirits couldnt tell me anything about that"
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:01:52 AM)
"Just that he carried her away."
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:04:48 AM)
So bob the wonder exterminator, defender of young women. *he looks at Matt* Your up.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:08:45 AM)
(sorry I'm back)
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:09:32 AM)
Oh I can't talk to spirits. I's just com'n up with an idear.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:09:51 AM)
oh can you talk to dogs and stuff?
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:10:36 AM)
she would lead the group back towards the house, "Matt, Doug can you find a phone book or computer and see if the entertainment mags say if Miss HIll has family or any one close to her like a boyfriend?"
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:13:30 AM)
I can find a phone book... and the only dogs I can talk to is by russlin' up the bark'n chain.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:14:06 AM)
I could teach ya one day man. *he nods* you mean back in the house violate her privacy look for her diiary, little black book and porn surfing habbits?
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:14:32 AM)
(house have a computer?)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:14:49 AM)
Upstairs, in the bedroom, Matt would have noticed a laptop.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:15:58 AM)
There's one of the lap tops in the bedroom.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:16:30 AM)
She gets a flash of anger and frustration, "Yes, can you do that ? im going to see if there are any spirit dogs about, but if our boy and girl got into a car we arnt going to get anywhere."
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:18:11 AM)
Find a car spirit.. *he says attempting to make a joke as he heads back to the house* When you were in their matt, did you look under the matress or anything? or in desk drawers?
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:20:59 AM)
*He nods.* Yea, I didn't steal no panties or anythin' though.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:21:18 AM)
"Anything that gives us names, addresses and such, places to search. Also look at any mail if left behind. Report back when you have something. Also...check to see if there is an answering machine."
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:22:18 AM)
people still use those?
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:22:47 AM)
"Some do"
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:24:41 AM)
*He nods.* Daddy just got his first wireless phone, it has an answering machine with them little tapes.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:25:20 AM)
Once in the house, Doug and Matt find no evidence of an answering machine, or even a phone. There's nothing on the jack in the kitchen or the bedrooms.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:26:05 AM)
*is more worried about the computer and he reaches under her matress and her pillows looking for a journal or little black book*
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:26:31 AM)
Alas, no written diary or porn to be found there!
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:27:15 AM)
*He scours the bedroom again... checking for purses or pda's.*
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:28:12 AM)
Still in the umbra Krys will make her way out back, looking for any dog spirits.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:28:14 AM)
There are a few purses, but none with IDs. Nor are there any PDAs or celphones. Just the laptop on a desk, and then another small e-machine type of laptop found in a drawer by one of the two beds.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:28:28 AM)
*turns on the computer seeing if she has facespace or mybook or tweeters or anything like that*
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:29:41 AM)
When the laptop on the desk is turned on it turns out to have a password protected login screen. The "user" photo by the login is that of the redhead, Auburn, so it seems to be hers.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:31:03 AM)
*he smiles and begins humming the mision impossible theme as he glances around the room* (Can I roll int and comp to attempt to hack?)
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:31:13 AM)
*Brings the e-machine thing over to Doug.* Where is the power button?
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:31:27 AM)
Krystal has to roam a fair distance to find any lost dog spirits. They are spirits of the city, and this is suburbia, but eventually she finds a pair in an alley, rummaging through trash.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:32:34 AM)
(Int + Computer, diff 8)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:32:43 AM)
Its the little button on the side. *he thinks for a bit* We should not play with them here incase they do another sweep. Try a couple easy things that you see. I saw a movie once where they said 80% of all passwords are something the person sees when they plug it in. *he nods and begins to type*

Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:36:27 AM)
She will aproach the dogs, SS~"Greetings Cousins," She says softly. "I am in need of your assistance."
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:38:30 AM)
After some time, Doug is able to guess the password and make it into the computer. Poking around through the web browser links will lead to the band's Facebook, MySpace and Twitter pages. Most of these are plastered with messages of goodwill and grief from fans mourning the death of the band's manager, and (mostly) worried for Jenny.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:38:39 AM)
The dogs lift their heads, ears periking.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:38:55 AM)
( int 2, comp 0.... ) *Matt figures out how to turn on the computer.*
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:39:17 AM)
Matt successfully turns on the computer. This one isn't password protected, and just opens to a normal Windows desktop.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:41:27 AM)
"I am looking for someone very important to me. I was wondering if you could assist me in finding them." She knees down, "In return I can give you a home and a place to belong. If you succeed in helping me I will go father and adopt your flesh cousins that are lost as well and make sure they find forever homes."
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:42:15 AM)
The two dogs sniff cautiously at her, padding out of the alley in her direction. -ss- "Play? Food? Play? Can we play?"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:43:20 AM)
*he clicks around a bit before shutting it down* I'll check it out more later.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:43:45 AM)
This one works... I think.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:43:53 AM)
She nods, ss~"Yes we can plan, think of it as agame. Her human name is Jennifer Hill. If you find her. I will bring you home with me and we can play many times. You will never be lonely again as long as I breathe"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:46:01 AM)
*he looks at Matt with a smile* Cool, pull up her email.. Its the little envelope thing.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:47:07 AM)
They bounce on their paws and circle around her. -ss- "Where? Who? Play?"
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:48:11 AM)
She pulls out Jenny's phone and offers it for them to sniff and gain her scent. "This is hers. Find me the owner of this phone. Can ya do that?" she adds some excitement to her voice to make it more of a game than a chore.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:48:30 AM)
*He looks for the envelope and tries to make the computer work... he was really really slow at getting the mouse thing to go to the email thingy.*
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:49:37 AM)
-ss- "Find? Find! Find," they whuffle at one another, and sniff around the alley. They whine softly as they sniff.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:51:35 AM)
"Follow me, I will take you to where they trail begins." she will guide them to the backyard. "The game begins in the fleshlands. Can you make it over?"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:52:04 AM)
No... click.. over there... OOOOON the envelope, with the mouse.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:52:33 AM)
Eventually...Matt opens the email. Gosh, whoever this is has a lot of unread messages.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:53:22 AM)
(Which book are Lost Dogs in, again?)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:53:35 AM)
(Gotta check if they have the right powerz.)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:53:37 AM)
(Axis Mundi I believe)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 12:53:50 AM)
(they are rats brood)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:57:33 AM)
(Alas, Lost Dogs specifically can't materialize. I'm sorry. Since Krystal would know that, I'll let you rewind and not offer them the chiminage, if you would prefer.)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 12:58:15 AM)
(I was mistaken myself, I thought they could.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 12:58:50 AM)
OK do you see anything that says "hey love" or anything like that for the subject?
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 12:59:34 AM)
*Scrolls through the emails and grabs a cover to toss over them to hide some of the light of the laptop.*
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:01:01 AM)
(I thought so too cuz their history eludes to it, lets rewind I will back up and find a place to step out of the umbra and move into the backyard. Looking for escape routes)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:02:00 AM)
(Right, it says they sometimes bond with humans. I have NFC, though. Bleh.) There are some fences in the neighborhood, but none of the nearby properties have them. They could have easily cut through the yard of the house backing up to the property, and to the street beyond, or even further.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:03:21 AM)
She stops and that is when it dawns on her. (Pg 102 Black Unicorn the spirit not the totem, may I attempt to summon him as ask for aid)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:07:33 AM)
(NFC?)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:07:43 AM)
( no fuckin clue :D )
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:07:55 AM)
(oh ok LOL)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:08:30 AM)
*he turns back on the computer and starts going through her own emails as well as checking history for gmail, yahoo, msn...etc as well*
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:09:02 AM)
(Okay, here's the deal. Yes. You can attempt to summon Black Unicorn. However. I say up front that it's a *risky* thing. Black Unicorn is a powerful spirit, even in a non-totem aspect.)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:12:18 AM)
(Yes, it is risky but we are genuinely trying to save lives and protect them because if they do launch an assault on the sept or something they will be killed. If not us being forced to kill them. so Im hopeing that will balance it out, If nothting else I may be transported to an umbral realm and challenged to an homorable but non lethal duel)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:13:25 AM)
(That is *not* the worst thing that could happen out of this. Just sayin'.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:14:23 AM)
So you've never used a computer before Matt? You seem to be a natural man.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:14:57 AM)

Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:15:40 AM)
I can find books at the library....
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:16:18 AM)
Pretty soon we will have you googling porn in no time. *he says making idle banter*
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:16:22 AM)
Mostly Chiltons car manuels.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:16:31 AM)
About the emails...Matt does find some that indicate correspondence between lovers. Between this Siobhan, the owner of the email account, and someone named Darla.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:16:48 AM)
(and none on Auburns?)
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:17:12 AM)
No love notes on Auburns at all. Hers appears to be almost all official correspondence about the band's tour.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:17:17 AM)
Hey, I got me something between someone named Siobhan and Darla... Darla was one of them singer girls right?
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:17:48 AM)
(Siobhan was the band member. Darla wasn't.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:18:18 AM)
Uh. Could be. Pull up some and see if she sent pictures back and forth. Thats what people use email for mostly to send naughty pictures back and forth.
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:18:25 AM)
(As it's now a bit after I was really planning on going to bed, can I get some final questions on what y'all mean to do?)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:18:25 AM)
Does it show a last name for Darla?
Golden (Aug 5, 2010 1:18:47 AM)
(Or word on if BU is going to get called on, yea or nay?)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:18:50 AM)
Krystal will find her saftey post and move back into the umbra to make the Rite easier and to keep it out of public eye.

Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 1:21:22 AM)
The Umbra...shakes. That is the only word for it. The earth literally trembles, like a rumbling earthquake, as the massive ebon beast gallops through the Umbral landscape, pulling up before Krystal with a swirl of silver mane and tail, his hooves lashing at the earth before he rears up on his hind legs and strikes down again hard enough that the very fabric of the Umbra shivers and warps momentarily.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:23:17 AM)
She in his presence bows out of respect. ss~ "Honorable Black Unicorn, thank you for heeding my call. I apologize for the haste to which I called upon you but matters are quite urgent and I need your help in finding someone who may be in danger."
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 1:24:23 AM)
-ss- "Who are you, and by what right do you call me from my duties and responsibilities for your paltry concerns?" He tosses his head.
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:28:02 AM)
ss~ "I am called Whispers to the Hidden, Theurge of the Fianna. I humbly ask you for your assistance. There is a group of Kinfolk that are being beaten and abused by those who are supposed to care for them, supposed to protect them. They have now turned on all garou and are trying to take more kin with them. I am trying to locate them so I may try and help them bring them back to Gaia's light and make sure they do not make themselves threat enough that my elders will issued them killed for it. I am trying to champion them and I am willing to do whatever it takes to protect them, even from themselves."
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:28:43 AM)
(eer not are being beaten, should have been were)
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 1:31:35 AM)
HIs hoof paws the earth restlessly. -ss- "That is an honorable task," he allows. He raises his head, his eyes glowing with the light of the moon, and his nostrils flare. -ss- "I smell blood, despair, and death. What passed within?"
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:36:48 AM)
"A failed attempt where we should have asked for aid before. One of the kinfolk out of fear took her own life. Another was kidnapped or we are not sure. Brashly like the children of Boar that we are, we rushed in and tried to play hero and it ended badly. An unknown human male came in and took off with one of the kin. using a human device that knocked me to the ground deaf and blind. We know the kinfolk are scared to death of us." She tried to get out as much as she could quickly summarizing it the best she could. She looke down not happy with the way the events had gone. "For that I am deeply sorry."
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:38:34 AM)
Not much else here but, I did learn there is a pill to make you pecker bigger. I don't know if Lenore would appreciate it if I did that though. She's so tiny already.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:39:25 AM)
*he laughs about that* Yeah. The internet is a hell of a place. So... any last name on Darla?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:39:44 AM)
her and wonderbob seem to be the only leads at all
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:40:42 AM)
None that I can tell... Bobs prolly just a maintance man for the property management company if'n this is a rental.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 1:40:58 AM)
He makes an equine snort of rage, small puffs of flame emitting from his nostrils in his fury as he digs deep furrows in the earth with his hoof. -ss- "You have erred, and grieviously so. Yet your ill-treated Kin are not helpless, to have driven you back so successfully. What will you do now, Garou? How will you make your amends?"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:41:56 AM)
yeah. Thats what I'm thinking. So after hours of research we have a maitenence guy, a shadow guy and the tenor's girl lover...
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:42:40 AM)
Well if I's hid'n and I hads a hot lesbian lover, I'd be right check'n in on her. Ya know?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:43:16 AM)
true. But Jenny's the one that everyone think's I kidnapped. She's with the shadow guy... probably.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:43:50 AM)
so I would say. The band is at Darla's Jenny's at her man toy's house and auburn is with gaia. And we are up a creek.
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 1:44:28 AM)
What if'n she's kin to the Bastard tribe and done done a rope a dope on our kin? Perhaps Mr. Shadow is a Spiral?
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 1:45:06 AM)
"Cornered Animals always fight the best in their darkest hour, As a child of boar I know that well. they are endangering themselves. By wielding silver and trying to turn our family against us, the next order will be to kill them. My goal is if everyone to walk away alive. I want to help them find a place where they will can be happy and not worry or be scared they will see more abuse or worse death. When I looked into Jenny's eyes she truly thought I was going to kill her. She did what she could to save her life. I want to find them a place where they can live their lives and not worry any longer to know that not all garou wish them ill. I would give my own life to see her saved, even though she tried to kill me."
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 1:47:15 AM)
Then we still need to find her and kill her. They know where the sept is and if they don't make silver bullets themselves they know how someone who does. And there are only two reasons you need silver bullets. One is if you are the lone ranger, the other is if you are killing trueborn.

-ss- "I am Mother Unicorn's champion. I protect those who are unfairly mistreated, who are the weakest of the weak. You are GAROU, child. You are Her Champion, also! You claim a pack, bretheren, a Crescent Moon's wisdom. Yet you need ME to find a your own Kinfolk, who have made it clear they do not wish to be found with their manner? Aye, they are the ones at risk, here. But you have erred once already, and you call to me in a panic, seeking the aid of power. I am not your hunting dog!"

I am asking for help not to have you mask my mistake, I have suffered for that already and will forever, but because I am short on time and you are my last hope. My grandmother once told me that while you were of Unicorns alliance, that you considered all Garou your children. So here I am, I am at your mercy asking you for help to save the live of those that were unfairly mistreated. "

The mighty beast leans over and places the point of his silver horn at Krystal's breast. -ss- "Your heart is in the right place. Your wisdom suffers, but there is a glimmer of it in your own words." And he tosses his head once again, impatient. "She sees you as a monster. And what does a Champion do to the monsters of the world, child of my Lady?"
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 2:04:50 AM)
"you slay the monster." she asked not quite sure if that was the correct answer.

I know what passes among the wolfchildren when you forget your honor. Do you pay for another Garou's crimes? Absolutely. But I will not sniff and track and point you in the direction of your mutual doom before you understand the consequences.

Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 2:12:52 AM)
She thinks, "Im willing to suffer in the place of the abuser since the one that affects this kin has passed on. If it means I die, as long as she understands we are not all like her abuser, as long as she and the others are safe and she has closer. I willing suffer."

(I would like to matt, if Golden and Krys are up to it)
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:15:39 AM)
(I can't tomorrow. I can ask Ghostlin if he can pick up the threads for this, though.)
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:15:49 AM)
(I'm out of commission from now until Sunday night.)
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 2:16:45 AM)
( No worries. Either way, just poke me on the pack forum then? I'll check it in the morning or when I get off work and see what is what. )
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 2:17:05 AM)
(Im cool for putting it on hold if Ghost will pick it up. or we can lock the scene until we can meet up again)
Matthew Brown (Aug 5, 2010 2:19:08 AM)
( Awesome either way... thanks for the scenage Golden!... night all!)

(Not to ruin the drama...but Black Unicorn is not going to track for them. He will offer advice and counsel on the matter (as he's doing now) but he's *not* going to lead them to Jenny tonight. I'm sorry on this score.)

(I'm not particularly keen on freeze framing you guys for 3 days, because...really, your options for finding her *tonight* are spent.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:25:27 AM)
(I only am because we literally have only two first names to go on. So instead of the ic getting fast forwarded and rewound and stuff. I'd like to pause until either you or ghost can finish it ya know)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 2:26:05 AM)
(But the thing is you said your self she is miracuoulsy going to appear as of "Monday" Im personally spent on ideas and I thought I did pretty damn well being creative and going out of the box. I guess from here I just give up.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:26:17 AM)
Sunday
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:28:09 AM)
(Krystal, I'm sorry. The rite botched. The spirit you chose wasn't a good option for the situation. Just because you're creative does not mean that I have to let you succeed.)
Krystal Hamilton (Aug 5, 2010 2:30:07 AM)
(Thats not what I meant. I dont expect that you succed but Failing all the time is not fun nor good either. Its disheartening. I mean I am personally out of options and I could argue the ponit on BU but I am too tired to.)
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:30:30 AM)
(Jenny is going to go to the cops. Your Cop Kin will let you know of this. That doesn't mean you "lost", it means that your options for finding her *that night* are gone. You still have PLENTY of options going forward.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:31:16 AM)
but in every situation there should be more than exactly one way to get the information. I agree with Krys. We literally have zero leads, no direction and no more stones to look under. to me it looks like we have nothing other than two first names until we can do the rite again.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:32:28 AM)
(There isn't just one way to do this. I can seriously tick off on all my 10 fingers things you could possibly do at this point that you haven't considered.)

Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:34:26 AM)
(Ok then.... well. Like I said since we have a vast number of options we haven't concidered. I guess we are going to pause until we can examine more of those options?)
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:34:58 AM)
(That's fine with me. We are officially paused.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:35:16 AM)
ok. well have fun on your vacation or whatever.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:35:38 AM)
(I have family visiting for a few days. Less fun, more anxiety. Any questions/comments/concerns/plans/thoughts - send me FPM.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:36:19 AM)
well like krys said, we are pretty much out of plans since the next step is to google Darla in Nola and knock on every door in the state
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:36:52 AM)
or Call every exterminator/maintenence person/freelancer and ask for "Bob"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:36:56 AM)
(...really? That's all you can think of?)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:37:14 AM)
after 6 hours with only two first names as leads. Yeah,.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:37:40 AM)
Okay. Let's start back at square one. What's your goal here? Tell me what you hoped to get out of this scene.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:37:59 AM)
Best case scenario?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:38:07 AM)
Yes. TEll me what your ultimate goal was here.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:39:02 AM)
To find the kin, talk to them, make them realize we don't mean to hurt them. convince them to come back to the tribe and to drop the complaint about ducky saying it was misinformed or something. There fore fixing the veil, saving characters, not having the sept get attacked, and not having the kinfolk die.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:39:28 AM)
I realize that will not happen, but that is the Everyone rolls 20s everything falls into place, cake and icecream finish
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:41:23 AM)
Okay. So, let's break it down. You want to find the Kin. REality: You spent the whole time just looking for Jenny. Did you try to find the other Kin beyond poking in their emails? No. Did you ask Krystal's cop Kin to ask around the cops investigating the crime against them and find out where they were staying? No. Did you try to find out if they have family in the area? No. Did you indicate to me, the ST, in any way that you were hoping to use the information about Siobhan's girlfriend to find them in person? No, because I would have told you there was a last name on the email address, too.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:41:28 AM)
i had hopes that any piece of information we gathered would give us the next clue. But tracking the shadow guy failed, getting his name failed, getting a last name for darla failed, getting info on bob failed, looting the house failed, emails failed, spirits failed, cockroaches failed.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:42:29 AM)
Yes infact I posted at least twice that we were looking for what Darla's last name and after a dramatic pause on both counts matt said "not that I can see"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:43:17 AM)
Then I missed it, and that's my bad. You poke me toward it and ask in a PM, because I was playing a spirit and figured you guys were just poking each other back and forth about your girlfriends.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:43:18 AM)
if you read back you will notice that the next step is to track down the kinfolk through darla, since apparently no one at all in any drawer, nook, closet, hatch, cubbie or any other place has anything in any way any indication that they went anywere.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:43:43 AM)
Douglas, they were taken away by police less than 24 hours ago. Do you expect them to conspicuously leave an address on the table as to where they're staying?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:43:56 AM)
We started poking each other because we got bored in the scene, finding zero anything in anyway tends to to that.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:44:15 AM)
Hey, I'm sorry. When all 3 people are doing 3 different things, it's a little hard to keep up.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:44:32 AM)
No I don't expect a note that reads "dear people looking for us, we are over here. Kthx" But as a player i expected at least... something.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:45:08 AM)
Honestly? Like your plan in the original scene...this was a bad plan. Just because Doug believes things happen like in the movies doesn't make it a great guide for achievement.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:46:27 AM)
I understand I really to. I use to st as well. But how is searching a house The last place they were alive, being that they left 24 hours ago by your account a bad plan. You are right. They wouldn't have left a detailed map to where they were going but people are creatures of habit. We literally searched every avenue in the house... twice. and all we got was a single first name.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:47:02 AM)
If the rite had worked...it would have worked. But you haven't attempted to do any research at all to find them, just poked around their house to see what they left behind. They haven't even been home yet since they left with the cops!
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:47:03 AM)
And being that we couldn't set up perimeter watches, hire hackers, pool our kinfolk...etc. since the kinfolk is magically going to show up at the police station on sunday.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:47:13 AM)
yes we di.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:47:15 AM)
did.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:47:35 AM)
if you scroll back we looked at browsing history, friends lists, im logs, as well as web based emails.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:01 AM)
They haven't been home to send emails since they were taken by the cops.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:10 AM)
Or IM. Or post on FAcebook. Or browse websites.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:15 AM)
again under the assumption that these people had to go somewhere and in theory people talk to people. And in responce we got well wishes and one person's first name
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:34 AM)
but there is the thing. You can upload any of those including email from any cell phone.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:52 AM)
But they're not.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:54 AM)
and it will show up on the website in question.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:54 AM)
For a reason.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:48:56 AM)
right.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:49:01 AM)
that is my point.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:49:17 AM)
literally the last place they were seen has absolutely zero anything at all to find them.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:49:43 AM)
Yes. Because they weren't exactly planning on being attacked in their home and taken into protective custody by the cops, FFS.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:50:02 AM)
so.... these people, these stars, these creatures of habbit, don't even have a single person listed on their emails/facebook anything where anyone said "hey you should stop by"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:50:33 AM)
right, but unless they scrubbed the house themselves there would be a receipt, favorite diner, togo boxes in the fridge, anything.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:50:55 AM)
I mean I don't know about you, but my house is full of potential clues on how to find me if I randomly take off a day ago.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:51:11 AM)
But they didn't just leave for fun, man. They were taken away by the authorities for their own protection.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:52:58 AM)
right you are correct
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:53:25 AM)
I thought to save us all the sanity and time of having you look in 30 places mentioned in their emails that they're not.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:53:52 AM)
now given that would the authorites say "grab everything you can including barns and noble receipts, cds, soda bottles and lets go" or would they be like "grab your purse and your clothes and lets go"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:54:28 AM)
AGain. I thought to save us all a little sanity and time. You are looking for *them*. Not where they bought coffee 2 days ago.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:54:39 AM)
its more than just the emails, its literally according to your description the house was barren. there was no anything at all. No scrap of paper. not anything
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:54:46 AM)
we were looking for clues to how to find them.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:55:04 AM)
if they hit up the same starbuccks everytday that would have been a place we could have checked out. a next step
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:55:19 AM)
They are in protective custody. You are not going to find them buying coffee at Starbucks, and then you would have bitched at me, just later on.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:55:56 AM)
but it would have showed a pattern, given us a basis of people to look for instead of "Darla" and "Bob"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:56:19 AM)
cops do it all the time.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:56:36 AM)
point a is work, poing b is home, they hit xyz every day... etc
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:56:50 AM)
Doug, I'm really starting to wonder if you're understanding what I'm saying here. No snark. I swear to god. None of that information would have helped you find them.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:56:52 AM)
None.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:57:20 AM)
Because they are not going about their usual routines. They are not living normal lives. They are minor celebrities who are in hiding.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:57:25 AM)
then that goes back to my first point Golden. the single only way at all that we can find them is with questing stone.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:57:29 AM)
No, it isn't.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:57:44 AM)
right, but it would show us their pattern and we can talk to their friends and see what they say.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:58:09 AM)
You have a bunch of email addresses and facebook postings of fans. YOu can follow up with any one of them. You can track down their families and ask.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:58:20 AM)
in protective costody they would have had to contact someone. a lover, a parent. their banker... someone would have some clue of them.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:58:22 AM)
You can ask neighbors.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 2:59:00 AM)
we can't ask neighbors. Matt was the person on site, they have a description of Doug, and now also as of sunday when she resurfaces, a description of Krys
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:59:24 AM)
Got Kinfolk dots? Send them.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 2:59:58 AM)
Seriously, it's not my responsibility to tell you all the things you could have done. I get you're frustrated, but your annoyance that the situation is not playing out the way you want it to is not my responsibility to comfort.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:00:43 AM)
so I am going to say something and I want you to listen to it ok? All three players in this scene, not just me, were out of ideas out of options, and feel we are being rail roaded. I'm not frustrated, I am confused as to how literally nothing at all worked.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:01:00 AM)
its not me idly bitching, its literally all the players involved sitting back like "WTF"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:02:11 AM)
From my side of the table, you tried 2 things. Rite, botched. Spirit summoning, wrong type of spirit. Everything else you can do will take more time than a night. That doesn't mean you are out of options. It means that finding Jenny within 24 hours didn't happen. Okay. Move on.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:02:57 AM)
dog spirit failed, bird spirit failed, cockroaches failed.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:03:13 AM)
email failed, searching the house failed, talking to kinfolk failed.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:03:40 AM)
computer's failed.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:03:54 AM)
Dog spirits: can't materialize. Bird spirit: told you what he saw. Cockroaches: told you what they saw. Everything else: takes more than a night to happen.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:04:36 AM)
but when you are having the missing kidnapped kinfolk reapear in 2 days, one day of that was spent waiting ic for the warder, then 24 hours is all we got.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:04:44 AM)
You have a ton to follow up on. A TON. But you have to realize that not everything you've tried is going to work immediately. This is not a "fix it and forget it" in one night thing.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:05:06 AM)
No, it's not. She reappears, she's gone to the cops. The SL doesn't end there. You haven't lost.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:05:23 AM)
but thats what I mean. We as your players don't feel we have a ton of follow up. we as your players feel that we have two first names.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:06:09 AM)
I have no doubt that you feel the answer is obvious and we have something to go on, but us as the players you are running for don't.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:06:25 AM)
And I've said three times now: I missed your request about a last name for Darla. I can give you that. You asked to look for lovey-dovey emails, I gave you those.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:06:49 AM)
we also asked for emails to family and friends.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:07:19 AM)
Out of 30 emails, yes, there are plenty to friends and fans.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:08:02 AM)
There is no obvious answer, but you keep doggedly hitting your head against the same piece of wall, determined to force me to make that open for you, and it's not working.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:08:33 AM)
not at all. what I am trying to do is help you understand that your players are getting bored, upset, and frustrated.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:09:04 AM)
You chose where to go. You chose what to do. Yes, my job is to entertain you, but it's not to make your choise magically succeed, if I feel you've made an illogical choice.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:09:06 AM)
Even now after your concession we have Darla's last name. Thats cool, we at least have a jumping off point now.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:09:42 AM)
again, you didn't answer how going to their home and the last place they were seen alive. where the cops took them from is an illogical choice?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:11:08 AM)
Because the only clues you'll find there are things they normally do, on a normal day. Things suddenly got very NOT normal for them.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:11:36 AM)
but on that note...
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:11:45 AM)
none of the spirits saw them get in the truck with the cops
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:11:56 AM)
none of the roaches noticed "new men in blue"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:12:30 AM)
You didn't ask the spirits what happened to the other women. All Krystal asked them about was Jenny.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:12:50 AM)
And the cockroaches told you about Bob, because you asked about something that could hurt them, and they told that story.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:13:08 AM)
And, most importantly: You know the cops were there, because Matt told you that much.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:13:12 AM)
because where as knocking on the doors and asking the neighbors seems like the logical choice, we can't do that because we are all suspects. and even if they talked to us the curse would scare them away.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:13:36 AM)
Kinfolk. PC. NPC.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:13:47 AM)
right. and through diagnosis we were looking for what happened between when matt left and when we came back. and we got nothing.,
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:13:51 AM)
Also? Middle of the night. You couldn't do that tonight anyway.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:14:10 AM)
and we tried pooling the kinfolk that we have, being chrystal's cop.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:14:29 AM)
Krystal said, and I quote, "I'll ask him to do what he can to slow the investigation". He did that.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:14:31 AM)
and he came up with "here is a report" followed by "the missing kinfolk is going to come in 24 hours"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:15:42 AM)
so do what you can do to slow the investigation... failed.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:15:53 AM)
No, he succeeded. He can't make witnesses disappear, christ.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:16:07 AM)
at least that is the perception of your players.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:16:46 AM)
I get that you can't make a witness disapear, that would be silly and illogical. But... he could have told us they were in protective costody.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:16:56 AM)
YOU DIDN'T ASK.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:17:04 AM)
since being a cop, he would know that, and that would be more vital than "here is a report"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:17:33 AM)
Also? I kind of thought that was obvious. Maybe not as much as I thought it was, but when some celebrities are attacked in their home? What do you *think* happens?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:18:40 AM)
I also thought your main goal was to find Jenny, since that seemed to be the only think your Alpha cared about the whole scene.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:18:45 AM)
think = thing
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:18:56 AM)
and you are right, /I/ didn't ask. because he's not my kinfolk. but when asked by the player for their kinfolk to "slow the investigation and keep us posted' that is kind of something that would fall into the "keep us posted" catagory. And just because you think its obvious, clearly the players involved didn't. We collectively were looking for any hint at all, to which we as your players feel we got none.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:19:33 AM)
and the reason we are focusing on jenny is until she "reappears" we are opperating under the thought that she was kidnapped. as I beleive it mentions in your newspaper post.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:19:59 AM)
Yes, that was/is certainly what everyone involved thought.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:20:27 AM)
We assume the other kinfolk took wing and Jenny was stolen. up until we found out she didn't scream. and she seems like the alpha of the bunch and based on the scene at the club she is the one that was listening to reason.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:20:43 AM)
Very reasonable.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:21:31 AM)
Unfortunately, your attempts to track her down before she went to the cops failed. Sorry. that sucks, but it happens.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:21:33 AM)
Right. so we figured going into this, the kin are somewhere, but not at the house. we need to find out where. and we need to find out where jenny is, who took her, and bring her around to our side, so she can get the rest of the kin to beleive.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:21:51 AM)
our attempts to track her down were answered with "a guy"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:21:56 AM)
or "a shadowy figure"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:22:12 AM)
Spirits don't psychically know where she went anymore than you do.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:22:41 AM)
but clearly they didn't feel so much as to mention "she went that way"
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:23:14 AM)
Owl told you the direction they went in. He didn't follow them to see which street turns they took. Seriously?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:23:45 AM)
owl told her she left int he arms of a man, she didn't scream or shout.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:23:57 AM)
to my knowledge, no direction was mentioned.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:24:23 AM)
Through the backyard, hence in that direction. To be clear: Asking the right kind of spirit, that is, one who can materialize and track and didn't have an honor code out the ass asking him to protect the weak (aka, your quarry) would have worked. You didn't ask the right spirit to track them.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:25:05 AM)
For bonus fun, Krystal never offered chiminage to Black Unicorn at any point to do her a favor.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:25:22 AM)
I am, honestly, very sorry you are so frustrated. But I gave you opportunities. They didn't work. That *sucks*, but it happens. It's now time to move on.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:25:28 AM)
that is because as a player she feels that nothing she did mattered at all.

I'm sorry you and she feel that way. I sincerely am. I didn't log in tonight hoping to cockblock you from succeeding, but neither am I going to say, "Well, gee, that doesn't make any sense, but it was creative, so, I should give it to them!"
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:26:35 AM)
I mean think of it for just a sec. ok? Why do you think all three players in the scene would say "hey whatever lets freese it"? Scene locking and freezing sucks. I know this, you know this. everyone knows this. so... what state of mind would we have to be in to think that is the only option?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:27:13 AM)
hey rois, can we have another minute or two please?
Róis Ó Brógáin (Aug 5, 2010 3:27:19 AM)
ok

Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:27:55 AM)
I don't know. I would really prefer you *not* freeze the scene, because I've already determined that you are not going to find Jenny before she goes to the cops. I'm sorry you're frustrated that what you attempted didn't work and you're not sure how to proceed, but the reality is that I've given you plenty of information and ideas to go forward, just emphasized that your against-the-clock work is done for.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:27:56 AM)
sorry about that. I am trying to let you know where the players are coming from and didn't want a peanut gallery ya know.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:28:45 AM)
ok then lets try this.... what information did you give us, since myself and the other players seem to be missing what you think is obvious?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:29:10 AM)
I've got to turn that back on you. So, you didn't find Jenny. Jenny went to the cops. What do you do now?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:29:24 AM)
You admitted we have Darla's last name. thats a start. What else?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:29:46 AM)
What are you going to do? I can't tell you what info you have unless I know your plans.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:30:07 AM)
our plans are now, and were still to see where the kinfolk went.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:30:26 AM)
and right now we feel that we have nothing, you seem to think we should feel elsewise.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:30:57 AM)
how can we get to a point with the information you provided that would idicate that the kin are in protective custody with the police?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:31:41 AM)
Any Kin or contacts in media or police? Have you asked Nail to ask among other entertainers, since he has his Fame and is known? You have tons of fan and friend emails...try emailing them, pretending to be a fellow fan or close friend looking for them? Wait for the funeral for Auburn to happen and track them?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:32:27 AM)
I'm sorry we don't see eye to eye on that, but if a celebrity is attacked, I think it should be pretty obvious that they would end up in protective custody of the local police, if not possibly the FBI.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:33:21 AM)
Ask your cop Kinfolk to really try hard to find out where they are? (Which, again, is not something that Krystal asked him to do, and I'm not going to assume you want him to do anything unless you tell me pointedly.)
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:00 AM)
ok. Granted, I didn't think of the funeral. But that would assume they would have posted something on their band site about a funeral..... and there was not. As far as your logic. I see your point, but, the other end is they could be locked in a hotel surrounded by rent a cops, black water, and private security and only come out for the court. Thats what I would do if I was a celbrity and got attacked in my house, I would go somewhere not my house and hire goons.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:10 AM)
It's only been 24 hours.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:14 AM)
The funeral hasn't been scheduled.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:34 AM)
I can get to mexico in 24 hours and live on a resort filled with bikini's and suits.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:46 AM)
...if you can, you should go!
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:34:48 AM)
But seriously.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:35:08 AM)
see the point, your logic of "the cops" doesn't apply to celbrities. Hell vince neil killed a guy and then went to sweden'
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:35:51 AM)
hense why we were looking for anything about where they went. If it was a cop cool we would know. if it was a plane ticket online we would know. but as it stands we don't know either.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:36:02 AM)
Minor celebrities...and, if you did a little digging on who they are, you might realize that they don't want this particular kind of scrutiny. I mean...if they're all Kin who have been mistreated (as Jenny and Auburn implied)...have you wondered where the others came from? Only Jenny is from this sept, after all.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:37:23 AM)
yep. but we don't know their names. other than Auburn, Genny and siobahn
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:37:27 AM)
Okay, I get that. And, truth be told, they haven't run - maybe because they don't want to, maybe because the cops haven't given them a chance - and it's, again, only been a day. You have a lot of time and options to explore so far as tracking down the four members of the band who *aren't* Jenny...and now you'll have time to find Jenny, too. Because they're not going to hang out with police escorts forever.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:37:45 AM)
at least I don't. its not in the post that I see.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:37:48 AM)
I gave you all of their names in the scene the other day, and, again, band website. Minor fame.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:37:57 AM)
Their names - or at least aliases - are there.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:38:09 AM)
OK that is my misunderstanding then.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:38:31 AM)
You know Auburn's name is an alias from the article, but Jenny's seems to be real. So, the other four? Who knows. Need to look.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:38:43 AM)
Also? It's getting on to 4 AM for me. I really, really need to sleep.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:39:06 AM)
but as for time... we don't feel we have any since the warder kicked us out of the sept and said fix this now. That as players means that we should have a way to fix it now you know?
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:39:18 AM)
...no, it doesn't. I'm sorry, it doesn't.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:40:04 AM)
Just because the Warder is angry and wants you to fix it doesn't mean that the solution has to be easy or fast.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:40:40 AM)
I'm going to log off now. Do you want the scene to remain paused until Sunday, or not?
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:41:45 AM)
well that is how we feel. The ST in blues gave us what felt like an immediate deadline, and then the same ST in blues, doesn't give us information to meet that guide line. it seems I guess.. disheartening is the word I'd use. but...well in that case... I appologize for the late hour and I appreciate you talking to me. Thank you for letting me play devils advicate and letting you know what the other players thought. And if we could or until ghost can finish it if possible. whatever works. Based on the warder's degree we aren't going to rest until the veil is protected, and stuff..
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:42:09 AM)
One last time: You had chances to meet the deadline, to find Jenny. They didn't work. That is the way the cookie crumbles.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:42:35 AM)
I'm sure it is disheartening IC, and maybe OOC. But, again, they were there, they didn't work.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:42:55 AM)
Okay, scene is officially paused. I will let Ghostlin know what happened.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:42:55 AM)
but again. Zero of them worked from the player perspective.
Douglas Flannagan (Aug 5, 2010 3:43:08 AM)
ok, well in that case, have a good night, and enjoy your family time
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:43:08 AM)
Yes. They didn't.
Black Unicorn (Aug 5, 2010 3:43:19 AM)
Goodnight.
