Genius Loci: OOC

Perfect. That's where the rest of you will find Jimmy.

[jp1885]

Rejoice, for I have returned.
I was able to write sporadically whilst away, but will be back to full posting capacity by tomorrow evening.

@Umbral I sent you a PM with a few questions in case you didn't see it.

[Umbral Dragon]

At this point, I think a tidy summary would be good as a reference and for clarity. I don't want to assume what your character knows. I'd like to see a list or some short bullets about
1. What you know,
2. What you'd like to know, and
3. What are your options according to your characters.
Try to avoid Metagaming if possible...

Something I wanted to point out was that the previous administrator of the hospital died after falling down the stairs. Not sure if anyone else noticed that.

[Mr. Handy]

We know that Andrew McBride was involved in the construction of the asylum and is now incarcerated there.

What I'd like to do next is see about getting a court order to shut the place down due to safety violations and multiple maimings, with myself and the others as witnesses, seeing that our film never developed. The patients would all need to be transferred to other institutions. I'd also like to get the court to order Larry released, as he committed himself and should legally be able to leave whenever he wishes.

Coach is in a pretty foul mood after being jerked around by both the asylum staff and the Irish gangsters. He's not confident that Croswell can be freed by legal means but wants to do some more digging before acting rashly.

Currently he's focusing on McBride and this stone that was broken during the building work at the asylum. He can't speak to McBride yet, so Coach wants to ask around the local building contractors to find people who worked with the guy on that project.

@jp1885 Who better than a mobster to go around and interrogate the local workers and teamsters? This is an angle I'm sure he'd be into.

Jimmy isn't too concerned about legality, and if there's a good reason to bust people out of there he'll be on board with it. That includes bringing dynamite to bring the walls down. Rebuilding can turn a profit for the guy supplying the materials and workers after all.

I'm sure Coach would appreciate the company!

[HoneyDog]

Perhaps Joseph can look into the previous administrator, as he died so strangely...

[Zero]

I agree. Considering a couple of you nearly met the same fate as he did when you were there. Looks like we'll be splitting up again, heh.

[Umbral Dragon]

So, perhaps pairing up?

[jp1885]

Sure. Coach can try the builders with Jimmy; Joseph and Carl can do their stuff. Solomon seems to have wandered off.

[Mr. Handy]

I'll need to bring in the others as witnesses at some point, as they were at the asylum with me and saw everything too.

[Zero]

I see a new IC thread up. Are we all going to use that one, or do you plan on splitting us into two threads Umbral?

[Zero]

Sorry about that, all. I didn't get any notifications since last week. I finally got suspicious and decided to check in today.

[Umbral Dragon]

Happy Birthday H.P. Lovecraft!

[Zero]

I haven't been able to post this week. I'm currently travelling on a train right now and exhausted. I'll try to get something up tomorrow, but I hope the group doesn't go any further ahead until the Chin has had a chance to chime in.

[HoneyDog]

"You've been quiet, Jimmy" observes Joseph. "What's your take?"

[jp1885]

I’m happy to wait until you’re ready Zero
