Jaysis...2020 has been one hell of a year and not in a good way. The COVID-19 situation has had me running nonstop since it first became apparent it had spread from China and was in the UK. My normal work is paediatric trauma surgeon and A&E doctor but I have a Masters in Microbiology with a Virology specialty and did a Field Epidemiology Fellowship so I'm on the NHS's 'CALL FIRST!' list. And they did. And I haven't been still since as they gave me added duties but didn't pull me from my normal work so 12 hour days have been 14-16 for months.

I'm just glad to hear everyone is all right and I, for one, will be very glad when this very barmy year goes away!

Holy squawkbox, Wynternight!  Best of continued luck to you in this ongoing ridiculousness!

I would request a redo of 2020... Of course, who knows if it would have turned out better.  We might have gotten Cthulhu instead.  That said, continued health to all and safety from fire and hurricanes and angry rabbits and all the other dangerous stuff out there.

Still here as well.

Evacuated last Thursday to a friend's house in a nearby city.  It's looking like the 40,000 acre fire stopped about 5ft. away from my front door.  That is not an exaggeration.  If the house is still standing, and we think it is, then the only reason for that is the fire lines that were bulldozed in.  We are utterly surrounded by fire damage on all sides, but the damage report shows my house as green for "undamaged."

It will likely be a few weeks before we get to actually go and look.

Oh yeah, and my Master's Program starts up again on Tuesday.

I might even get a post in this evening.

I've been formatting my speech small to suggest that Bhaskara is always whispering.

If it's annoying to read, let me know.

Not at all, Bhaskara, no trouble reading it.

I'm glad to hear you're safe, and I really hope your home is safe as well!

Best of luck with your Master's program.  :)

Question to y'all.  You (at least Everly and Bhaskara) were seeking Blue's missing friend, so what do we know about them?

I'm presuming we will get back to that after the Cellar misadventure as I thought the whole forging and riddle list bit was contributing to that?

Indeed, I just wanted to know if guys wanted some details (hashed out between you, perhaps in a flashback scene) so that you will have things to look for, ask about, etc.

So originally I had gone in a very selfish direction with that Arc.

When I proposed it, I had said that Blue's friend was a Spider (not a Truespider), who had been possessed by a Demon member of the Abnormous.  I was hoping of using it as a way of getting further connected with Raajathamos, start spending Acumen on Character Arcs towards forming a bond with that entity, and eventually taking them as a Patron.

But considering all three of us are along for this ride, and we haven't been surging along our Character Arcs particularly fast, do others maybe want to add more of their own story to that mix?

Well, to be fair, if this game were at the table, we might be an hour or two into the session, and have already had a couple of player character changes!  ;)

But regarding Blue's Spider friend, we could build them together to give everyone an in on them.  We know currently that the friend is missing from Blue's own searches.

Bhaskara, you know they are a Spider that is possessed by a Demon of the Abnormous.

Everly or Jonah - one of you tell me the Spider's name and something distinctive about their appearance.  The other tell me a fact you know about this Demon that is possessing them.

I don’t feel like I e been neglected.  Honestly it is likely that I will start a new arc And likely finish it before I come anywhere near my current arcs completion.

The spiders name is the sound a web makes when it catches A thought of someone who is contemplating infinity.  That said, since that name doesn’t work for anyone other than spiders as they are uneducated, they go by the name Georg.  The Spider is fairly ordinary, not much smaller than the largest spider you’ve ever seen and not much larger than the smallest spider you have ever seen, but their web seems to be made of many copies of the same design each with its own spider on it that is strangely not much smaller than the Lagest spider you’ve ever seen and not much larger than the smallest spider you’ve ever seen.

Question on the cellar.... I'm presuming Everly's artificial arm has basically stopped working?

Everly, your arm is now a top-of-the-line prosthetic for Shadow technology. So likely you can curl your fingers, grasp, have some customized appearance, but certainly not the level of feeling and function in the Actuality.

Like Jonah said...  shadow sucks.

Ugh, I know. Shadow, am I right?

Sorry for the single sentence post, I just need the info before I answer her.

Going to try and get a post out tomorrow... Weekend has been more chaotic than expected.

Everyone okay?

Yup, still alive. Sometimes I can post from work, other times I'm needed on the line and can't post at all. And certain weekends is also my live gaming group (I'd call it face-to-face, but it's more face-to-screen right now...) so that requires a larger energy investment.  Posting here now!

No rush, just get nervous with 2020 being... well... 2020.

Glad to hear you're alright.  Jonah?

Oops!  Post tomorrow.

Sorry about that, I got all caught up in grad school and missed my lists.

Apologies in my tardiness getting out a post. One of my wrists is presently in a brace and trying to limit computer time and use a bit to let it heal up. Will try and have something done today.

Going to be on vacation through the 9th of November, should able to resume on the 10th. Possibly could post before then, but no promises!
