Genius Loci: OOC

A POW roll

[Zero]

Oh, not sure how I missed that. I'll have to reread the last few posts.

Edit: Wow... it would help if I actually noticed that a new thread had been started. Sorry folks. I've put the OOC thread on subscribe along with the new IC thread.

[Umbral Dragon]

I could be wrong, but I thought you were at the Asylum. Once on the property everyone makes a POW roll.
My mistake?

[jp1885]

I also thought we were all at the asylum.
Edit: Joseph and Coach are going on slightly ahead under the guise of doing an article on the place.

[Umbral Dragon]

I don't want to overdue Sanity rolls.
No Sanity loss, but those who failed San roll don't notice anything.

Those who passed get an intense feeling that something is not right.

You may find yourself acting slighty off. Like you notice that you've been tightening your hands into fists when the nails start to bite into the skin, or perhaps a cold sweat drops into your eye, driver holds the wheel tight enough to ache, grinding teeth, biting the tougue, etc.

You notice these things as your focus was drawn to the monolithic building that is the Kirby Asylum.

Please add to the Roleplay, your character's personal reactions

Ah, so we notice something wrong if we pass the test. Okay, I'll write something to that effect when I have a minute.

[Zero]

Yeah, I expected it to be the reverse. I had to rewrite my post to reflect that.

[Umbral Dragon]

Ok, no problem, I am also having difficulties on my side. I am not getting updates via email though I am subscribed to all the threads. I have also been busy today with some family matters. Tommorrow I will make some more posts and move this story right along, trying to keep the pacing. Thanks for your kind understanding.

Sometimes I find notification emails in my spam or trash folder

No rush on the updates Umbral, the good thing about play-by-forum is that you can take your time

[Mr. Handy]

I've heard that notifications don't always work. I've never used them myself. I just check the board index to see when each forum was last updated every so often.

[Zero]

Notifications are tricky. Sometimes I get careless and delete an email notification without actually checking the site. That's what happened to me the other day. That one's all on me.

Btw, did we determine who is where at present? Did we all go in through the front door at the same time? Did we split up? I doubt we'd be able to roam the grounds without being seen, unless we make some serious Stealth rolls, and I'm not on my Quechua tracker this time... lol. I can't really do that now.

[Umbral Dragon]

Two of you were to sneak around the grounds...don't know how that would work, but ok, we're trying it, and the rest would go through the normal way - the front entrance...

[Zero]

I'm not good with trying to sneak in. I don't mind arriving in two separate groups to alleviate some suspicion. Besides, The Chin's here on business. He'll want to talk to the shady people on the premises, make some connections.

[Borderline]

Im fine with going in I was just throwing out ideas

[kierash]

Hey, not sure if this is the best spot to do this, but I think it is. I found an ad for this game and will be joining the game shortly. I would like to introduce myself. Hi I'm Kierash, I have never played Call of Cthulhu, but I have played other table top RPGs and I am a quick learner. I will make a character soonish, but if you guys had any suggestions for a good way to fit myself in without it being too jarring that would be great.

[Zero]

Inmate (or employee) at the asylum we're presently visiting might be a good way in if you're planning on joining in the next week or two.

[Mr. Handy]

I was planning to arrive separately from the others to conduct my "inspection."

[Zero]

Then it sounds like we actually have 3 arrivals. The photographer and the coach, the two mobsters, and then the ranger. As I said, I don't intend to sneak onto the premises or into the building, but we're gonna pretend not to know the other two guys. Not too difficult I think since we only just met them anyway.

Welcome! I second Zero's idea about an inmate or employee (nurse, doctor, psychiatrist, orderly, handyman etc.). Perhaps a new employee who notices something is amiss?
