OOC: General Discussions

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

Anyone feeling generous and willing to give me an overview of the first outing, especially as it pertains to Scott the nurse?

I've not had a chance to read through it yet.

Scott jumped in close to the end, when Warren went down in the Coma as a fill in character. I'll let the returning players fill you in though. ;)

Or you can go into the archive hall of fame and read it. "The Rats Haunting."

Yup. Planning on reading through the entire thing, just didn't want to halt the start up because I don't have a point of reference for my character.

Like...in Haunting Scott was nearly torn to shreds by slathering Deep Ones and he shows up at Dr. Chambers office like

"What's the good word Doc? Doo bee doo..."

Scott jumps in around chapter 8. But they told you everything that happened up to that point, so feel free to read the whole thing so you know what happened.

Or you could assume Scott day dreamed through their telling and just read chapter 8 on which is what he experienced.

Hope that helps.

From what I remembered, Scott essentially liked haunted houses and spooky stories. He's also a WWI vet as a medic, and noticed that we've visited the hospital couple of times with unexplainable injuries. When Scott was introduced, he was eavesdropping on us, when my character Jordie brought Warren to the hospital, and the rest of the group came to the hospital to discuss our plans.

My impression of him, was that he was just a guy looking for trouble, something that'll make his heart pump faster.

BenTheRat, I'll get around to writing my character this evening, and hopefully I'll be finished by tomorrow with my character.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

NP, I wasn't going to get things moving till then.

And if you don't have time, there is still 1 character carried over from the previous run if you want it.

Thanks! I should have some large blocks of time to work with but will keep that in mind just in case something random arises. However, a new character fits me fine as I don't think I have the time to re-read the previous game. Anyways, things are looking good and I look forward to participating with the interesting investigators my fellow players have put forward. I should have my character submitted for approval by Saturday night at the latest! :D

Bibble:
Yeah, DS has it right, Scott was just a nurse at the hospital with a fascination for ghost tales. He heard the others talking after Warren almost cashed out, courtesy of a possessed dagger, and thought that investigating a haunted house might be fun.
He did, and it wasn't.
He joined in just in time to see the majority of the investigators go down to a thing that should have been dead and buried a long time. In the end just him and a couple of others, I forget which ones, walked away. So I would imagine he would be a little cautious about having another go, but as to his motivations etc, that is totally up to you.
The reactions of Warren when faced with Scott will be interesting, on one hand he will feel indebted to him as he was part of the team that saved his life. on the other, his prescence will be a constant reminder of those events.
We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Good info. That will alter his inner monologue slightly.

No worries Ben, I'm sure I'll make Scott my own in short order. I just like keeping continuity. :)

BenTheRat, I am having grief with Invisible Castle at the moment due to a forgotten password. I have tried re-registering but the site is not responding. Anyways, while I hopefully get this sorted, I was going to offer Genevieve Carrington, a psychology undergrad who plans to become a parapsychologist upon convocation, as my choice from a previous and now defunct scenario I was in. Her attributes were rolled on Invisible Castle and can be verified there. I will PM the character to you for approval. Have a good one!

It's funny, I played a 1920s photojournalist named Alyssa in the recently finished Escape From Innsmouth.

Haha what a crazy coincidence! It's nice to see some friendly faces around here, too bad DrPeterson isn't here :(

I'm away on holiday with my kids until the 26th. I'll have my laptop with me but will probably only post once a day, though I'll try and check in more often if I can.
