What Does It Mean to Die Again? [OOC/Open]

[Hydraic Empire]

I'll post in the morn. Have to think this through.

[The Burning Sun]

I'll post in the morn. Have to think this through.

I would recommend flipping out sooner rather than later. Drastic action may be taken to keep things moving on time.

Everyone else at the restaurant don't freak out when it happens. The two of us will be with you shortly.

That sounds ominous.

It's supposed to be ominous. I'm a co-op, after all. I'm supposed to be advancing the plot.

v. v. v. busy day. Can't post till 10 00, i.e. 8-9 hours from now.

EDIT: 11 00, sorry.

EDIT2: also, people need to start investigating. Those whours don't will be killed indiscriminately. This is the list of things to search:

The killer left a number of things at the crime scene, probably at the previous one as well, had it not been washed out. She could see a button had been left, one that her eyes could discern as of exquisite quality; the kind you'd only get at a decent quality tailor, three made this type of button. Her wallet was empty of cash, as was the previous victim. Mysteriously, there was an empty vial at the end of the room, it seemed out of place, so Amber took it as evidence.

"alright, I want you guys to gather the body, we will be taking it to the hospital for an autopsy. Hopefully the bartender's body has been collected in full as well, the doc will need to see them both," she ordered, "and I want a group of officers going to find her roommates, they will want to know about this. It would be good to see if they know anything, if she had any enemies, the usual... I have a crowd to calm."

To learn about the button, follow amber; to find the roommates of the deceased, go to the deceased's apartment (common knowledge, considering how small the city is); The vial will probably require a look from either a doctor, an apothecaey, a vendor (many ingredients are sold either over the counter or on the black market). Begin searching.... Or death!!!!

Waugh? Let me get a TG out to you.

Is there anything my character and Drake should discover while in the alleys?

No, apart from Jack and Aura if you want them dead or something.

yes. Eve sounded better for the phrase. Afternoon it is. I have gotten out of the time machine, yet to realize it is not even 5:00.

[Kwadai]

A killer is on the loose. There is an option to walk down an alley between two normal (ish) buildings or a dark narrow shady looking alley. For the sake of RP, it could only ever be the shady one that is to be chosen

I still can't believe everyone voted for Jack. It's either him or a few joke votes, apparently.

Purgatory: The City at The Edge of No Where.

---

Name: Andrew Withers
Age: 35.
Years in Purgatory: Circa 1800s.
Occupation: Owns a bar.
Prior Occupation Rich aristocrat from the American South; owned a huge number of large estates/farms, and just as many slaves.

Appearance

Character Bio: After Withers died, he took a moment to process that he was indeed dead. He remembered his estates, and all his riches and fortunes. He also remembered the Abolitionist Movement gaining traction. But, he didn't know what was going on after that. Andrew Withers was always very business-savvy, and was good at manipulating people to get what he wanted; that and his experience in breaking in slaves meant he knew how to be brutal if he wanted to be.

Andrew, after deciding slavery might not always be accepted in Purgatory, decided to move into the business of alcohol. After all, everyone needs a drink! And so, he sought and found employment in one of the few bars of the city of Purgatory. The businessman slowly but surely rose through the ranks of the bar's employment, until he claimed the bar for himself after the owner unfortunately lost himself in Limbo. Withers found it ironic that he withered away in the real world before dying, but tended not to dwell upon it. With his new ownership of the bar, Withers tended to have a somewhat racist stance - sometimes refusing to employ non-whites, or if he did employ them, he paid them little of whatever Purgatory's currency was. Not only that, but Withers tended to serve whites his better food and alcohol than other races.

However, if he was particularly desperate or wanted more money, he would sometimes temporarily suppress his racism so that he could earn more customers, at least for a while. Withers, despite his attitudes, was often quite the ladies man; he took the title of Southern Gentleman very seriously, often going out of his way to make sure his female customers were satisfied especially - and if they were single and wished to pay him other than with money, well, who was he to deny them? Withers continues to own his bar, now called the Withers' Bar, in peace. Withers' racism has died down in recent years, but he is still noticeably more favored toward white people. Although, it seems, that despite his racist tone at times, he can be more flirtatious with African-American females than Caucasian females; whether this is because he used to be with his slave women or not is still a matter of debate for those who know him.

Withers' goal in his after-life is to run his bar for as long as possible, and considering in the after-life that he'll live forever, as long as he doesn't go to Limbo, he hopes this means forever.

Personality: Formerly a staunch racist; now a semi-racist. He's still very staunchly homophobic, transphobic and overall phobic of things not-white heterosexual. Somewhat brutal; rumored to be a sadistic person in private. Tends to be a "Southern Gentlemanly figure" around women, especially African-American women, as a paradox to his racism. Withers is also quite aristocratic; believing himself to be above others of 'lower standing' - usually meaning those who have jobs of less money-making than he.

How much do you Remember?: He knows he used to be rich, he knows he used to own lots of slaves and such, and he knows he dislikes anything that doesn't belong. That's about as far as it goes; however, he remembers all that's happened in Purgatory to him, thus far, to variable degrees of accuracy.


Likes and Dislikes: Likes his job, money, power, music and (rumored) 'experiences' with women. Dislikes non-whites for the most part, and non-heterosexuals or non-conformists. Also dislikes 'heavier' drinks; prefers wine or beer.
Alignment: He seems to fit the part of 'Lawful Evil'.
Theme: In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Accept the Rules?: [ ] Yes [X] No
If no, reason: I read the Orders, not the rules; but I do accept the Orders.
RP Sample: Twilight of the Galaxy [original version]. Also in the current version.

short summary: Withers is a semi-religious greedy businessman who is ruthless in his endeavors, likely due to his past life, and he owns a bar. He also used to own slaves, and is somewhat of a racist. He acts like a gentleman around the ladies, though, and tries to be as nice as possible to them. Withers is also very brutal sometimes, and is rumored to be a sadist.

The city's two most influential people are both gay/bisexuals. I can just imagine him trying to keep them out of his bar...

I still like it.

Imagine what happens when he realizes the town leader is famous for trying to seduce any lady she gets her hands on.

[Faal Lot Himdah]

I'll post tomorrow. Burning, I forget what Aura's goal is supposed to be.

[The V O I D]

Andrew Withers' reaction to the scenarios that you two have provided is this: serve them nice foods and such in the bar, and maybe even treat them respectfully; but then turn around and talk crap behind their back to people who share his views.

[The Burning Sun]

I'll post tomorrow. Burning, I forget what Aura's goal is supposed to be.

Keep Jack in line for an unspecified amount of time, presumably until she arrives.

In actuality, it's to be a plot device. Basically I need Vi to show up and start murdering people.

So... This is permission to have Vi rampage and kill NPC's? Sal is that alright? Also how many? I feel the bloodlust...
