The PIT:Reinstated (OOC)

[Dimoniquid]

Dvardis's. They're generally in order they're submitted in.

[Maurepas]

*Shrugs*, I submitted a case, but, I don't think it was officially accepted, and I was gonna wait on Murv for it...

Murv? I'm guessing he's in charge while Londim's away?

[Dvardis]

I have finals this week and next, and then concerts the week after that, so... yeah. Won't be around much 'til the second week of June in all likelihood. Considering how long the average case seems to take, I'm okay with letting someone cut ahead of me (or two people, if you decide to split the PIT up into a couple of different groups working on different cases).

I think it was accepted? Not sure, but I do want to do it, especially as you mentioned ghosts, walking dead, and I'm assuming there'll be po' boys and beer?

Dimon, no, I'm not in charge. I just told Maure I want to do his case but won't be available for a little while after this one is finished finally.

Oh. Okie dokie.

[Midlonia]

Well... I have the case from start to finish really in my head and the first post for the Diva ready to run... Dunno who submitted before me but I do also like uh Maure's idea also.

[Muravyets]

Shouldn't the order of cases depend on the availability and readiness of the person who is going to be the author/GM?

I'd imagine that would be a sensible way of doing things, yes. Plus whichever one people want to do (this organisation is a democracy, right? )

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

There's that, and there's cases appealing to different players/characters that could account for more than one running simultaneously. This first one, everyone got tossed in, and it was hard for folks to keep up and stay on task/organized. Smaller groups would likely work out better. And there's always the option of calling in more of the team if the situation changes somewhere along the line.

Fluid time. It doesn't have to be a hard line of 'this and only this can be happening now' so long as we keep things relevant to whichever story we're in at the time.

[Muravyets]

Yeah, like the Lady said.

[Midlonia]

I'll bring up the Diva Martinique case tomorrow then.

[JuNii]

a separate thread for all case submissions?

[Muravyets]

a separate thread for all case submissions?

I'd say only a separate thread for all active cases, not submissions.

Submissions should go to what will eventually become the Factbook, right? Then, if they are not approved, they can be deleted. But if they become active -- i.e. when they begin -- the Factbook listing can be edited with the participants' names and eventually have their outcomes logged when the case is finished.

Then each case that is active and in progress gets its own IC and OOC threads.

[Dimoniquid]

^^ This. I've sent something to Londim... any idea when s/he'll be back?

[Midlonia]

Not a clue. I'll put up the IC thread to the Diva Martinique case probably tomorrow morning my time, assuming we're all patched up.

Briefing will be on the actual boat itself when you get there, so don't be too con fuddled

[Muravyets]

Okay, so Creeper will wind down at last by tomorrow at least, most likely. Still a few scenes to go. If anyone wants to do anything in that thread involving the townhouse, here is what you'll find inside:

1st Floor: Big rooms with high ceilings, huge windows, fancy antiques, marble fireplaces. Living room with big screen entertainment system (hardly used). Fully stocked, modern kitchen. Library full of arcane books in weird languages. (emphasis for Duckie/Midlonia) Access to a very pretty garden.

2nd Floor: Bedrooms and bathrooms. Bedrooms are roomy, furnished with very comfortable antiques and all painted pretty pastel colors because this is central Europe. Bathrooms are super luxe, marble, very nice to relax in a hot bath in. There's more than one bathroom.

This is the house from the outside:

[Maurepas]

Are we planning on meeting up again before we end this?

[Muravyets]

Well, if Revan's not careful, he'll soon provoke quite the good-bye meeting. If you're in the house, keep an ear open for the noise.

[Lynion]

It's not like Revan has a map of the house so he hopes he's going directly to the front door. This opens the chance for the Granny to run into him if you wish, if not, I'll RP in another post he leaves the country.

In White Springs, opening random doors is always a risky business, no matter what floor you're on. If Revan opens a door and gets a shoe or an evil tome of the outer darkness thrown at him, then he walked into the wrong bedroom. However, if he opens what should be the front door and finds himself in a quaint little country kitchen, Granny will be back shortly.

Oh, and he won't be able to go back the same way.

It's 1:30 am. I'll check in again in the morning.

[Muravyets]

Wow, great epilogue scenes in my -- I mean, Karel's house.

It seems like there's the option to do a few more small things to transition out of this case, so...

Time line: Maurepas, Midlonia, and Avayu -- I'm reading all of your posts as happening BEFORE Karel arrives and goes upstairs for private time with Sofiya, even though DLN and I posted all that last night. So while your scenes were happening, Karel was not there. When Karel does arrive, you guys are in the house, doing various things, but not in the rooms he passes through at the moment. He can hear you. He avoids you because you're not who he's looking for.

Lynion -- I'm reading your post of Revan trying to remember where the exit from the house is as happening AFTER Karel returns and goes into ...um...seclusion with Sofiya. So, in story time we can say that's happening NOW. Please check your TGs about that.

Now questions for setting up the next threads:

Midlonia: Do you want Duckie to talk to Karel about the Diva thing -- or anything else -- before your 3 characters leave White Springs? If so, feel free to RP around the house and town, and when Karel and Sofiya come up for air you can touch base with him.

Maurepas: I'm not sure if Karel will join PIT officially for your case or if he'll come in by some other means. Like Karel, Hebert seems more into his own interests than PIT's so if Hebert thinks Karel is a contact he might need some day and would like to talk to him, maybe get his card or something, let me know. In case he might want to contact Karel outside of PIT channels some day.

Avayu: Tony is welcome in Karel's house whenever and for as long as he likes. Karel just loves that crazy guy! But don't forget Granny is lurking around. Let me know if you'd like to just let this part of the Tony story fade at this time, or if you'd like to do something around White Springs.

[Dimoniquid]

Don't worry man, you're going to be a leader! Wooo! Clap for Karel! Kick some arse!

[Muravyets]

Aw, shucks, thanks.

Hmmm...I had RP'd as Hebert not actually knowing about the case until after he gets back home, but, that's not the only reason for a contact, I think I have the makings of one in my head...

Also, congrats on the team leader status,
