[Recruiting(still)][CoC] Kuro's sick and twisted game

[doghead]

Hey, how did you know that I was going stir crazy?

I was thinking that if Kuro didn't return, we could take over the asylum.

Isn't it obvious?

As for us running the asylum, we already have a bit of experience there. Kuro probably just got fed up with our antics and left. I mean, he gave us a perfectly good ritual murder, and what do we do? Fiddle around looking for alcohol and start disco dancing through the pews. Heh.

 

[Majin]

I was thinking it was an IC reaction to that failed sanity check

 

[doghead]

True. But what is one supposed to do at a ritual murder? I have never been taught that.

The ".... ?" was Bruder. He knew that you were in disguise but ...

I think the Lord Lollypop thing is a little wierd to be frank. I can't imagin Tanya falling for it, but its your Jim's game so Bruder'll play along.

Majin, hang in there, we'll give you a call asap.

Master Pugs has been a little quite. Then again, Bruder and Jim have been kinda giving Tanya the frosty treatment. Actually, I'm going to go back and read her IC. I think Jim has got the wrong end of the stick ...

 

[doghead]

Master Pugs, when Tanya walked into the bar, was she in uniform? I think that Bruin and I kind of assumed that she was. Kind of unlikely though, now that I think of it.

Doghead thinking things through ... However, Tanya admitted that she was a cop to Jim and told him that she was on the trail of a burgler, so his flight kinda makes sence. If Jim and Bruder have reason to believe that Tanya is looking for Jim, then they are going to have to lose her, and keep their distance. On the other hand, if there is a connection between her partner and the goings on in the church, then there would be common ground to work on.

 

[bruin]

Yeah, it is weird, I'm just a little bored. Like I said, it just has to work for a little while.

Jim is mentioning the church a lot. Tanya's partner disappeared looking for a church. I was throwing that out as a hook for Tanya to get by the frosty treatment.

Edit: looks like you saw the church thing. Since Kuro described her as a cop when she walked in, I thought it was somehow physically obvious. Maybe not a uniform, since she's an investigator, but maybe she has her badge on display or something.

Off Topic: Ok, so I know Majin would like to get in some playing time. I just started a new COC game the other day, which filled up pretty fast. There was another player in that game who didn't get in either.

So, I've been contemplating for some time running a small PbP game. 2 or 3 players would be ideal. I don't want to start a recruitment thread as I'd like to accomodate some of the people who hadn't gotten into a game yet.

It would be CoC, but a conversion from a series of single-player gamebooks from the fighting fantasy series that was popular in the early eighties. The book I have in mind was House of Hades (in Britain House of Hell), which stands out in my mind as one of my favorite horror experiences. It could be easily converted, I think, and would be loads of fun to do. Doghead, if you're bored, you could get in too, so three players at the most. They'd all have to be college students, or business partners, driving together on a dark road one evening...

Let me know if you're interested.

I love this thread and I'm not going to let it die off, so if Kuro doesn't show in the next few weeks I'll think of some way to keep it alive.

Hmmm. Spent some time reading through the IC thread. It's been fun, no doubt. There's been some good laughs and shocks here and there. But reading it reminds me in an odd way of a Beckett play or a Seinfeld episode. Everything goes in circles and nothing happens. It's been interesting trying to improvise, and keep the ball rolling. But I find myself asking whether I'm really keeping a good thread alive, or just beating a dead horse. I don't know, maybe I just need to learn a little more patience for the PBP format.

Regardless, in spite of my earlier statement, I think I'm tired of the thread and ready to move on to other things. So I'm bowing out of the game.

 

[Majin]

Wow sorry to see ya go bruin. At least we got the other game you'll be starting soon. Maybe doghead will wanna come too.. I'm willing to just let the thread sit until Kuro gets back so we can get started again. I'll stay subscribed to it until I hear something from Kuro or it fades so far back into obscurity that theres little to no chance that we'd hear anything anymore. Kinda disappointing since it was my first attempt at a PbP game, (I can post so frequently that I myself have to learn patience waiting for things to get going with these things).

Ah well, anyway I'll be heading over to bruin's new game and doghead, hope to see you there too
