Sorry, the holiday has been difficult.  Someone in my store quit and its left everything in a tissy.  We've had to reschedule around them.  Its been raining, which means my connection can be spotty too.  I apologize for the delay.<br/><br/>For Vex.<br/>I do see what you are saying.  Writing such scenes would be challenging and interesting, actually.  I kind of don't want to focus too much on that.  I want a darker edge, but not one which would cause a not for children rating.  Especially in America.  Murder can happen by the bucketloads as long as no one is topless.<br/><br/>I agree with seeing what the players want first.  I was taking Waunder's advice and letting you guys in on some of my ideas.  I wanted to just hear the kind of cats and the kind of things you wanted to explore happening and go from there.  I read the Silverford and liked the serial killer that hasn't been found and that some spooky effects have gotten worse.  That is the key to my scene.<br/><br/>I see tiny blue flames which sprout out of unholy ground.  I picture part of cats duty around this area is killing these balls.  The problem is with so much death these things have gotten worse.  Imagine pouncing one and proud of it as a cat strides back toward home.  Suddenly a twitch of the ear and a tilt of the head and she sees a cloud of twenty or so of those things attacking her.  She bounced one way and then another, actually banking off one tomb stone and to another before knocking off a wreath which dispearses the ghostlights.  She goes into a beserk frenzy killing almost ten of them herself before her burden walks around the corner and watches her cat jump around swatting at nothingness or at best motes of dust.  "Silly cat.  Best take you in," your burden says as she uses those trecherous thumbs of hers to carry her from her hunting grounds.  As she watches she sees a few ghostlights coaless and begin to follow her as shes being carried home.  Though she should be afraid for her burdern, the cat could only grin evilly to herself.  This promised to be a fun evening.<br/><br/>So what is happening to make things worse?  Who is the killer?  Are they related or stalking one of the character's burdens?  All of this bloodshed has made worst parts of the night even worse than before.<br/><br/>Ideally I would like the two of you to be semi-socialable cats.  I picture adjourning territories.  Both of you posing with each other... watching each other, etc. especially during the say.  Once night comes you accept begrudging help from the other.  I will have lots to do for you guys separately, but would like to overlap things often.  I will make a couple of other cats who will be friends or acquaintances.  You can make up a few names, descriptions and general qualites of what friends would be fun to have.  I will play other things other than cats.  So if one of you has a 'confidential informant' which is a rat or something, we can discuss that.<br/><br/>So for example we make up the burdens and territory of both cats.  As well as making out  a player character sheet with all your names and aspects, etc.  There should be some deffinite defferences between the two houses to heighthen differences.  Like one is an artist with kids who slings paint on easel... and everything else, and the other is a married older couple who never had kids and keeps a tidy house... well, except for the dog.  So a lot of the tension between you two will be the environments you two come from.  We can design a couple of other features of the yard and neighborhood and go from there.  Like a corner store.  An abandoned house.  Maybe a small creek concealed from the road by the trees.  Id like you two to lay out what you want around you two and we will work it out.  Then your cats have not only a familiar area to call home.  The main fixtures being the old, unkempt up cemetery which is probably hidden behind a bank of trees from the housing development and the name of the street being Mockingbird Lane.  Though if we don't like those we can find something else more fun.  Another fun feature would be that tar pit closed attraction in Sin City with the dinosaur statures.  Imagine what kind of villain could be lurking there?  Imagine the bodies which have been 'disappeared' there and what kind of ghostlight or other such I could generate there?<br/><br/>I am of course interested in whatever you want to explore in this unique take on the world.  Would breaking friends out of an animal shelter be fun?  What if the animal control officer is abusive?  What if a child like to torment animals?  What if there were weird scientists showing up and trying to trap strays in the areas?  What if someone knew about the secrets of cats?<br/><br/>I look forward to more discourse from both of you on we are going to play here.  I picture historic houses which are inhabited by medium to lower income families.  Its probably been spruced up recently... upping property values and maybe stirring up secrets.<br/><br/>What are both of your reactions to this so far?
