OOC: Chapter Two- The Death of a Sea Captain
Moderator: Raiko
Im going to deal with the Purple Cup scene in my next post, and I assume that Jack hopes to get Phillips phone number and talk to him tonight.
Does anyone else have anything that they plan on doing tonight? I plan to advance the timeline to the morning of the 7th September on Sunday/Monday.
PS: Regarding what / Maurice, can everyone please check in future whether any other character is chatting to your character before posting, and acknowledge them if they are (I realise Ive missed things as well ).
There are a lot of players and important NPCs in this game and I realise this sometimes this means that you end up in several conversations at the same time.
But Ive had a few OOC/PM moans from players that they think they are being ignored, and now Maurice (rather than what) feels cold shouldered.
If you intend for your character to ignore someone, then please post that they are doing (so that there cant be any misunderstandings). Likewise if nobody specifically says that they are ignoring your character, please can everyone assume that the other player has just made a mistake, rather than sulking, or having your character sulk.

Jack talked to Maurice, didn't he?
Anyway, Jack was kind of focused on the Moore thing and, now that that's resolved somewhat, will probably be willing to be a bit more chummy. However, it's fair to say that Jack's also developed a fairly healthy (I think) skepticism vis a vis Starkweather, so anyone who owes his or her primary loyalty to SW is probably going to be kept at some distance, at least early on.
I guess this is kind of a silly question, but were 1920s/1930s telephone operators able to "look up" numbers? I don't even know whether Douglas's brother is in NYC, so it may be moot, but could you just say, "Operator, get me so-and-so"? I guess I need to watch some old movies!
I know enough to click the switch on the phone repeatedly if I get disconnected and to yell for the operator, anyway.

If anyone wishes to avoid going to the docks today, they will risk angering Moore, and possibly being kicked out of the expedition.
Anyone who doesn't attend the fitting will automatically be missed.
Anyone sneaking away later will need to make a luck roll to avoid being missed, but be warned I've (randomly) determined the maximum number of people who can 'sneak away.' If this number is exceeded, only the best luck rolls will count.
Moore intends to get back on schedule, and he's got all your names on his famous clipboard.

I've mentioned Jack's wishes IC.
Raiko, just in case you wanted me to make a Fast Talk roll for Jack, here it is. (He succeeded, with an 18.)

Unfortunately the fittings for the cold weather gear will take so long that Jack and Kitt will probably arrive back at the docks before they are finished.
So I'm just going to post stuff to deal with Jack and Kitt while they are at the NYPD HQ and Blackman's office, then I'll deal with the Docks once you are all there.
The rest of you can chat in the queue if like. Everybody is queued up on the Gabrielle except Nils, Callum & McRaven. Those three will be joining the back of the queue once James & Gunnar have had their fittings done (the fittings aren't optional).
I'm hoping to wrap up the full day by Sunday/Monday.
Not long until departure now

Unfortunately a quick look through the police file in the taxi doesnt reveal anything that you havent already been told. The autopsy report does however seem to corroborate the theory that Percival Lexington took his own life.
There were extensive powder burns to both his right hand and his chin, and there was no bruising to suggest that he was forced to take his own life.
Perhaps a longer read tonight will shed more light on the mystery.
