The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

[ImpInTraining]

Suddenly, my problems don't seem so significant.

Get better soon, Yokenthwaite. See you when you're right in the head. Unfortunately, you'll never see me right in the head.

[jaysun81]

Imp! Glad to see you're still stomping these corridors. I've being wondering what happened to the man behind the Roman.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back, Imp! You haven't posted for Lucius in quite a while, but you can pick him back up again any time you're ready. You'll be happy to know that he's succeeded at every Sanity roll I've made for him.

[ImpInTraining]

Shoot man, I've been checking threads now and again. I must have missed your notice that a new thread started. My apologies.

[yockenthwaite]

Thanks all for kind wishes. Saw consultant on Friday and steroids shot up a lot immediately that morning. They've taken about 3/4 days to kick in, but I'm starting to see benefits now, and the neurological problems are easing.

I've just posted an update for Elizabeth in the IC thread, so am taking her over again Mr Handy

[BenTheRat]

sorry I've been unresponsive. Travelling this week. I'll try and post tonight.

[Cearlan]

All,

I have just received word that my Father in Law has died so I may not be posting as regular over the next few days as I have funerals to sort out and all the associated trappings. I will post as and when I can. I feel bad because I have just started this and well, we cannot put a time on our passing I suppose.

Back as soon as I can

Norman

[Mr. Handy]

Take your time, and take care. My prayers are with you and your family.

[ImpInTraining]

My condolences for your loss.

[Cearlan]

Mr Handy,

Could you please NPC Valerie Soames until after the funeral for me. I am going to try and post as often as I can in as many games as possible, but if I can get a few games off the load, then it would be a great help.

Thanking you in advance

Norman

[Cearlan]

All,

Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts, condolences and good wishes for the situation in hand.

Norman & DeeJ

[yockenthwaite]

Deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time

No problem. I'll be going away myself in less than a week, so it probably won't be moving for a while after that.

[jaysun81]

I will be away from February 28th until March 3rd.

Something messed up happened to me lately, which has kind of taken most of my attention over the past week. A second cousin of mine allegedly committed suicide, gun to the head. So weird,because she didn't seem at all suicidal to me. Sure, she had some problems with making up stories, and a drug abuse issue ... but the weirdest thing is that I am just as sure she committed suicide as I am that my cousin's wife (her mother) probably killed her and made it look like a suicide.

What a messed up circumstance. Anyway, as messed up as she was, if her death was at someone else's hands then they need to be held accountable. So I've taken liberty of contacting the Arizona police and filling them in on all the details I know - things her parents wouldn't have shared. I wish there was something I could have done to have avoided the whole thing, but I feel it was pretty much destined to happen.

The thing that really pisses me off about the whole circumstance is that her mother keeps going on about how it is all the deceased's husband's fault when he was in Kentucky the entire time.

[DrPeterson]

Wow, that is messed up.


Strength!


And I'm sure you did well to tell the police what you knew.

[Cearlan]

Firstly - very sorry to hear of your family's loss. Nothing can prepare you for such an event, especially when it happens out of the blue like this.

All power to you for passing your concerns onto the police - they are the ones best suited to find out what happened here. Could not have been an easy call to make.

The mother may be looking for someone to blame ... a standard reflex action when something goes wrong. She may well be in shock still or perhaps it is part of her grieving process.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm sorry I've been away from the board longer than expected, but I've been very sick for the last week and am only just starting to recover.

I will be away from February 28th until March 3rd.

I'll wait until you return so that you can make the final decision and, if you decide to go through with it, make the roll yourself.

I'm sorry to hear that too, and I agree that you did the right thing by passing on everything you know to the police.

[DrPeterson]

I'll be gone till Thursday, feel free to NPC Leonek.

[ImpInTraining]

Thanks all. We deal with loss in our own way - and it's something I've been accustomed to doing from a distance, being as how I have been away from my family since 1986 except for the brief vacations I take back there. Loss, especially unexpected loss, is never an easy thing, but I don't envy anyone who has to be there at a funeral where a mother and father is burying their kid.

I'm going to go on just believing (unless I hear otherwise) that my cousin's mind just was out of commission and led her to this tragic event. She was a habitual liar, and perhaps she started believing her own lies to the point that she felt safer taking her own life. Maybe she did it in a moment of clarity where she realized she was a danger to others, or maybe she simply had no idea what she was doing. I'll probably never know the truth.
