Genius Loci: OOC

Doors to Darkness yawn open to reveal three hair raising tales!

Genius Loci - Not all is well at the Kirby State Lunatic Asylum and it’s down to the investigators to heed a friend in need’s cry.
Ties That Bind - Strange rock formations have been found in Mrs. Carrington’s prized fountain. But these are like no rocks seen before!
None More Black - The death of a Rice University student leads the investigators into unsavoury neighbourhoods and dark business dealings.

Are you the Dreamer or are you the Dream? Shadows flitting at the corners of your vision, haunting laughter just outside your window and inhuman, eerie sounds in the middle of the night, all of this and more await the unwary once you open the Doors to Darkness!

I'm the same as Zero, but I can change it if it's confusing.

I should be able to get my character created and get started tonight. I also mentioned this in the Absence Thread in the Lounge, but I'll be away next week from Thursday through Sunday at a convention, so I doubt I'll be able to post during that time. I might be able to post next Thursday before I leave if your post is early enough.

I always use third person in play-by-post, and I use present tense when I'm playing (though past tense when I'm the Keeper). It's helpful to other players, as everyone will know which character I am if they see my character's name.

I had surgery on Monday, and am feeling a bit lousy, otherwise I would have posted a proper introduction for Jimmy. I'll try to make it up though as we move into the actual rp.

Take your time. Good job so far everyone, we'll pick it back up on Thursday, but we can skip to Monday, since Thursday is Valentine's Day.
Let me know.

I've been married long enough for Valentine's day to mean very little :P so I'm happy to post Thursday.

Quick question: what do we know about Larry and his background already? Do we know his profession for example?

Ok, if you have contacts you can see if they know something by making a Charm, Occult, or Persuade test.
If not then proceed to legwork.

I've edited my last post and added a roll, rather than spam you with two in succession.

Zero you would be the one with more contacts if you want to look into the hospital. I feel like I could contact some veterans to try to find out more about what Larry mightve been up to. Glad youre doing better.

Umbral, I take it then that apart from his occupation, we really don't know anything about Lawrence? Not even his address? Does he have a business?

Yeah no worries. I mean if I thought I could get ahold of Larry I probably would call him but I was just thinking I would call other vets who might know what he was up to.

You have some leads. How do you wish to proceed, which leads do you want to follow?
