"Devilgirl, please report to the editor's office!"

I'll continue tomorrow one way or the other.

Weird, I thought Devilgirl had been on more recently, but I just checked The Cast and she hasn't.   I'll NPC her unless she logs in again.

Darien - was looking up the poison, you start to recover 1 RS a round after 4 rounds, you can't go below 0.  If I've got it right, it's 5 rounds before my last post so you wake up, and I'll let you do something if you want before we continue, though you'd only be at Terrible Strength.

I'll make a post shortly, but I'll be away from the computer for the rest of the weekend.

Whoops, I somehow missed we had actually started up again! Sorry, I'll try to catch up now.

In reply to Devilgirl (msg # 193):

Glad to have you back!  and be back!

Just giving Devilgirl a chance to catch up and post.  If nothing by end of tomorrow I'll update the Front Page News.

Please welcome Henry Alias Blackthorn to the Mystery Times!

Welcome Mr. Blackthorn.

Thank you! I'll get to character creation straight away. Let's see what the dice gives me, eh?

Okay, the character is ready, and Henry's description is up.

RRR, where would you like Henry to start?

We're at a wrap-up phase of the current scenario, so probably when the next starts, I'll try to move things along to get the next up.  Quite a lot of the events were caught on TV, so you could read through the Front Page to catch up on what's been televised or reported if you want.

You could join the Schwarma King and/or Interview threads if you think it's appropriate for your character.

Welcome, Mr. Blackthorne.

Heh, that's funny. If it's appropriate for my character... ;) I'll put something together NLT Monday...ish ;).

Nice start, I like it!

Schwarma King might be a good place for Henry to meet with Manmirror & Darien, perhaps putting 2 and 3 together with a bit of detective work.

Darien & Manmirror please go to Schwarma King so you can discuss things a bit and possibly meet Henry before we move on.

I renamed Front Page News Archives #1-#3 and created a new Front Page News.

I'm probably going to be absent until Monday.  I'll try to pop in, but probably won't be able to start the next scene until then.  Good time to get to know each other a bit more & prepare.  If there's any pro-active things you guys want to do let me know.

I'm back, it's been a busy week and Monday for me,  Had a good thanksgiving and played with the kids a bit, and did a bit of yard work, and spent way too much money.  Such is the holidays.

Is there anything anyone wants to do (investigation, set-up) before I kick off the next scene properly?

Henry is just preparing for guests. :)

I'm still trying to recover from a three day pumpkin pie and whipped topping coma (couldn't let it go to waste, could I).
But I'm playing Manmirror as somewhat less sophisticated so shouldn't have any trouble keeping up. Plus he's not really the investigating type (although I think he'll go to the library and read some reference works on herpetology, does that count as investigating).

Flying snakes, swimming snakes, spitting snakes, the onset and treatment of snake bite, snake charming, The Jungle Book, and Sammy the snake on Sesame Street (I think the last couple are more up Manmirror's alley)

I take it our evening is about to be disrupted by the news?

I was wondering if you guys were going to investigate that.  If not I'll move on to the next thing.
