The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

1517, Auvergne, France: The Duc d'Auvergne is hosting an elaborate gathering culminating in a masquerade ball in his palace in Vyones, to which he has invited quite a few notable people. Travelers from throughout Europe and North Africa are in attendance to see and be seen. But there are some strange unseen things lurking behind the scenes that may put everyone in danger. Can Story, Elizabeth, Brook, and others attending the party unravel the mysteries and prevent madness from reigning supreme?

This is Classic Doctor Who meets Call of Cthulhu, the sixth of a series of connected adventures set in different eras and locations that includes The Terror Out of Time, The Ninth Planet, The Shadow Over Dunwich, The Brotherhood of Death, and The Horror in the Blackout.

Looks like everyone's done for the night, so I'll move things to the next day and bring in our new player when I have time, which is unfortunately not now.

Tea came from the Far East, so it's unlikely to have made its way this far west by 1517, but there's plenty of tea in the TARDIS.

Were Jacques there, he might suggest a nice drop of local red, some regional beer, or perhaps a French brandy even [¢]. But he presumes the weird ladies from Narnia probably drink unicorn milk for leisure so most likely he would say nothing at all. :D

[¢] All era appropriate. Except the unicorn milk.

An African Unicorn is a rhinoceros.

I plan to move things forward to the next day and update all the threads this weekend.

In Renaissance France, the main unicorn question would be how best to cook them.

Hello, as the new player I need to mention that while unicorn milk was not available in the medieval era, it was posible to buy unicorn horns. This is not even a joke, just historical fact

I'm sorry, I've been too busy and haven't had much sleep lately, so I haven't yet moved things forward. I'll try to get it done during the week if I can, but it may need to wait until next weekend.

Weird question, Is Story named Story in all languages? Or is specifically in english, like is her name the meaning or the sounds?Because I know the Tardis translates for the timelords, so then the Tardis is translating her name to the local language, or her name Is coincidentally the english word.

Like, is she called Historie here?

I'll say that proper nouns do not get translated.

I had Brook say "I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition" in her thread. Of course, she's the only character with the possible exception of Story who has actually seen Monty Python.
