Well.... the thing is- I can post it but it's not really 'doing anything' just- being speechlessly surprised. Now that I think of it that is probably vital to state. ... actually their is more to consider then what I've let on. ... yeah I can post more then one sentence.

You got the tribe area wrong for Wendigo. Wendigo are Algonquian monsters who were barely on the coast of Virginia and were more New England/ Canada. I based the monster in the second half of the Dark Bear legend off a Shawnee legend known as a Water Panther that was described as a cross between a cougar and a dragon that may have been an allegory for alligators.

He's Schizophrenic; so, it was most likely the monster you're talking about; but, he saw it as a Wendigo.
But, it could've also been a bear.

I mean, that's fine, but a guy that's a doctor and descended from Algonquin's who has supposedly done research into the area should know that he's pretty wrong in that regard.

Can't wait to see how Lucas and Carl will react to this.

Monty is already scared, Will is suspicious, Marco is antagonistic, and... how are Donny and Evan gonna be?

I didn't expect so much energy between Will and the strange Doctor.

Edit: Hey look at that, Evan being the one collected voice of reason.

Yikes... and we still need to wait for the others to catch up on even more posts, especially the RPers for Carl and Lucas.

Made another post but it has no spoken dialogue, just Marco's thoughts and brief flash of panic to Monty approaching the doctor.

I've made something similar in reply- I will say having Lucas go would have been in our interest- but events are now set in motion. I know she has reasons but I too would have liked it if Lucas had went.

Who knows, Lucas might still go up with her depending on his player or stay behind and let Monty handle it.

Marco tried to put Lucas in the spotlight, having him approach what might have been a dangerous person but now his plan has backfired and he looks like an idiot while Will is losing patience for someone to finally check that guy's wrist.

Ah, fun unexpected developments.

you know- I really should have allowed the player of Lucas to go forward- he hasn't had much to do in the RP.

How do you feel about- saving what we have written in a post here but removing it from the IC so Codagh has some time to be active? I'm up for that as - Pax said- the other players need time to get in on this.

Well... Will's player is offline so- I guess it's best to flow with what we've got. We can't just remove it all right now- only one post would be removed and that's not one that should at the moment. We don't know when Codagh will be online.

Yeah, we can't remove them now without retconning Will's latest post and that would cause unnecessary confusion, making the best of the current IC flow seems like the ideal option.

Lucas may still examine the Doctor's wrist since nobody else seems to have - unless Monty stepping forward armed with the bear spray is going to do it first.

Edit: No actually it seems certain Monty will be checking the Doctor's wrist instead. I wouldn't expect her to stop mid-way through her action now.

I want to post- and I guess I should. I had messaged The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune but he already logged off- so I've got only my feelings and New Tussia's app to go on.

At first I thought she'd find something, but after looking at the man's year of birth I realized it wouldn't be that- so- where I to post everything would be defused I think.... I think.

So- should I post?

Well.... that's the thing I had intended Monty to- for reasons- again she has reasons. So- without word from Will's player - and only the Doc's application- as stated above I know nothing will be found; and wonder if I should post that- I kind of want to give Codagh a chance to be involved- he can't help not being online right now- but.....

Edit: I mean the wrist is extended out right now to be examined.
