Welcome to Hemlock Falls

[The Dullahan]

I am so sorry to hear that, Marcos. My thoughts are with you.

 

[Craft]

Sorry to hear that Marcos.

I'm also jumping in to mention from October 1 to October 10 I'll be unlikely to be able to participate in the thread. I'll be on vacation and without a computer (and my phone doesn't seem to like the site).

 

[Atrus]

All the hugs, Marcos. Yes, even here. I'm hug-ambushing you.

To the others: reply soon, I need to figure out a way to speed up the story for the remaining players.

 

[Marcos Medeiros]

((Thank you, everyone. ︎ Seems we aren't losing her just yet after all (and we're hoping that her health keeps improving), but things are still pretty tense. Will try to reply as I can.))

 

[Atrus]

Hey everyone, sorry about being silent. I was away one week at a con, and then work hit me with a mallet when I came back.
If it's possible, can we speed up a little the "everything is true" conversation with Sarah, so we can move on to the night and/or day two (depending on your choices)?

I think it's safe to say at this point that we'll close this story well before the seven days of IC time, just for everyone's sanity.

 

[Craft]

I think so. At least I'm willing to.

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

Sure. I'll cut short the disbelief and other OMG phases, fun as they can sometimes be.

 

[Atrus]

I'm sorry for being so behind on this. Writing blughs are hitting more and more often lately.

 

[Atrus]

I apologise again for disappearing like that. RL has been a bit messy, and I've been struggling to find a way to wrap this all up quickly in a way that doesn't feel like a cop-out for the players who have stuck with this story for so long. However, I think I found a way to close the story in a way that, while not optimal, should be at least satisfactory. Please bear with me a little longer.

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

I've decided I rather like Sarah. I'm open to suggestions for 'what next'.

 

[Craft]

I support a 'next' of whatever variety you decide. I've enjoyed Hemlock Falls thus far, and Sarah seems like a good character! So more is always beneficial.

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

Thank you.

I'm thinking the most likely would be one of the "hikers" taking her on as a Watson to their Holmes, but I also suspect she'd need to be somehow 'not normal' for their handlers to allow it.

 

[Craft]

Oh, there's definitely ways around the handlers and whatnot. And we could definitely wrangle a Watsoning, I think.

 

[Atrus]

Sarah may end up being a KBC contractor? They do need people on the ground.

As for the two options you've been given by the lumberjack, I think it's best if you four all go to the same place, and we'll assume the characters of the inactive players all go check the other one.

 

[Craft]

Sounds like a good idea to me!

 

[Atrus]

Nooo Sarah, don't split the group any more when there's only 4 of you left! XD

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

No problem - Craft, wanna mention that you /don't/ want the most helpless member of the company out on their own?

Or I can adjust what I said.


KBC? I don't recognise the term.

 

[Atrus]

Knightsbridge Consulting, the company/cabal owned by Craft.

Btw, I'm gonna be in London until Sunday evening, so won't be able to reply here until Monday.

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

I modified what Sarah said.

 

[Sarah Whittaker]

Sarah's shotgun rounds are rock salt, btw.
