[QUOTE="Dlsharrock, post: 4251271, member: 55833"] I'm going to try to explain myself a bit better, then. If I repeat myself from before, I apologise again. I'm not sure how else to put things across other than to say the same thing in different ways. Yes, they do have the best reason to be at the Witching Hour. Most of my points are about the Witching Hour Fellowship though, the club the group have supposedly formed, and I was trying to steer discussions toward including why members would *join* this club, as opposed to being present at the bar, the two being mutually exclusive in my head (the bar probably has about 30 odd patrons every night, but only four of them attend the Fellowship). Perhaps this is the source of the confusion? In future I'll try to discern better between the two. No, this wasn't my intended implication. Not even a bit :) Her lack of extra details are neither here nor there and my only point is that she's got a sort of generic reason to join the discussion group. Just like the raven haired, sultry looking girl who lives next door to me wouldn't look a million miles out of place in a White Stripes concert, Arabella was made to attend a discussion group surrounding the occult. It's a sort of that-fits-there thing. It doesn't make her better, or worse than any other character, just gives her a reason to be in the Fellowship. Make better sense? I mentioned Adam's occult library as another way to illustrate the same thing. If he has a collection like that, then he must *really* be into the occult in a big way. That's $1500 of books right there and in those days $1500 was a lot of money. But occultism is frowned upon in normal society, so he probably keeps it subdued in polite company. If he actually came across a club that openly discusses this sort of thing, I think he'd leap on the chance to join them. So there's motivation enough for him to join the Fellowship club (as opposed to just attending the bar) and you don't need to find another reason for him to be there- and how I saw the discussion unfolding at the time was that you guys were trying to think of reasons why Adam would be at the bar and hang around with Sam. As far as Sam is concerned, I hope Kookalouris hasn't also misinterpreted what I meant. She's a wonderfully realised and detailed character. Which is kinda my point. Given her background with the ultra-mysterious Bermuda crash and the whole lunatic asylum thread I felt there's great motivation already written into her story for her to be drawn to the Fellowship without exploring other angles, like her being a skeptic, or only following the theme of the bar because that's what she found in the attic. I'd like to hear Kook's opinion on this score though, and indeed on the comments I made in my previous messages, particularly the one about two members of the Fellowship being skeptics and two being believers in terms of occultism and mystery. I think that might be a fun angle to take. Then again, I probably am labouring a point (I do that) and if you guys just want to establish backgrounds, possible past relationships and then start the game on that footing and see where it goes, that's ok with me.
