I'm not sure if Jarval's still around or not. I haven't seen him on any other forums for quite a while, either, so maybe not. But in any case, whether he's still with us or not, I'll be keeping Dr. Hewitt in as an NPC if needs be, because I think a medical opinion would be useful. Personally, I think three characters is a good number. We have the believer (Diggory), the skeptic (Hewitt), and the in-between (Trevor).
Jim: I see what you're saying. I feel, too, like I've not left enough spaces for Trevor to work. You know what I mean? Perhaps it would be better if I put in some sidetreks not directly related to the main action, and maybe could bring Trevor into play more. Perhaps I could revisit my early-on suggestion about goings-on at the Walsingham house: after all, every good old English family has its screaming skull, or banshee, or ghostly hound, or something.
And I'm glad you like Edward. As a teaser, there'll be something
special about him later, probably after you "talk" with EIECET. Just don't metagame the point too much... remember, this is an alternate timeline of sorts and things may not be like they are in RL. And that is all I'm saying.
Since I've picked up Masque of the Red Death recently, that's helped spark some one-shot ideas in my mind... and if we go the way of one-shots, I should start planning them now. I think I am going to try integrating the one-shots into the current series rather than wait until later... if you know what I mean. Ease up on the thick of things a bit to give Diggory, Trevor and Hewitt a chance to flex their investigative muscles on other matters, too.
