OOC: Chapter Two- The Death of a Sea Captain

[Raiko]

Unless anybody objects, I’ll give you a day or so to reply to each other and the npcs, then I’ll move straight onto the funeral (and other things).

Once the long voyage south finally starts I’d appreciate it everybody could post at least once per game day, or ‘block of days’ (it’s a long journey so sometimes I’ll summarise a few days at once).

This will let me know that everyone is still interested. So far I’ve checked up on quieter players via PM occasionally, so I know we haven’t lost anyone except GaryTheNerd and Shadow, but I’d like everyone to actively participate in the game once the voyage begins, even if you just say that your character is performing routine tasks.

If anyone feels ‘left out,’ or is struggling to find a way to join in, just post here or PM me. Unfortunately the shear number of players and npcs means that it’s not always easy for me to make sure that everyone has something to do.

Maurice will be quietly attending the funeral and will be far more active once the sea voyage begins.

((I've been reading along this whole time and feel he'd be best played as a constant once we're all on the ship together and have nothing to do for months on end but get to know each other))

:lol::lol:

You hope.

[Mister Juan]

Isugtag will also go to the funerals. He's planning on having a little chat with Starkweather.

[Henrik]

As already mentioned Olof will attend the funeral.

[Decrepit]

Sorry. I've been a little remiss here.

Just to remind me: the only thing we really know about Brackman, besides the fact that he's a lawyer and has an evil receptionist, is that he was listed in the dead captain's notes, right?

Also: Do those of us who are at the funeral need to split up to corner both Brackman and Philip?

[Decrepit]

Good cop, bad cop?

Jack is just a little testy ...

[thewhatchamacallit]

FYI, I'm still reading along

[Henrik]

Heh, heh. I think everyone is as frustrated as Jack by now. We all have our theories but no concrete evidence.

[Raiko]

If you have finished at the funeral, I'll move things back to the hotel.

[Decrepit]

"Ya gotta ignore my partner. He's a little, how do you say it, crazy? He once killed a man for not answering his questions. True story. Me, on the other hand, I'm a nice guy."

[Decrepit]

This is kind of cool--we could actually be just about literally the last people to be prosecuted for a Volstead Act violation, considering the 21st Amendment is ratified in December. Maybe people will read about us someday.
