				Alright, OOC thread is UP! Nice and shiny with that new-thread smell, waiting for its first post ever. The first IC thread for char introductions and debriefing will go live a few minutes from now.

				What exactly do we post in the characters introductions, I mean that can be done in the main thread, why split them apart.

				Well, I sort of thought of that, but posts in the Char Intro thread won't really have anything to do with Harrowgate or anything; they're more like short stories illustrating what the characters were dealing with before they answer Hatcher's ad. They aren't required or anything, and if you don't want to write one that's fine too. I just had that little scene playing in my head the last couple days and wanted to post it, lol. Once the game gets in full swing, they'll be here out of the way and won't be cluttering up the main threads.

But if y'all are feeling some hardcore goth despair vibes, I can accommodate ya. Or if anyone feels all self-sacrificial when and if we make it to the final climactic battle, that'd be awesome, too.

				*nods* I figured something like that, Fulgrim. I know we dont exactly have a set posting order, bit one usually forms in games like this anyway. It's understandable. If its alright with everyone, I'll go ahead and move everyone inside with my next post to keep things rolling. I'll try to leave it open for those who havent posted yet, so it won't feel like I'm autoplaying their characters when they get back.

				Alright people, its votin' time! Please let me know if anyone wants to pair up, or if we're all going to investigate separately.

				I don't know where Arabella has gotten off to. She hasn't been on since 4/6. I'm assuming she's just been busy with RL of course, but if we don't hear from her by week's end, I'll have to assume she's dropped the game and I'll suspend her from play. I'll message her and the others, try to find out what's up with them. Until then, I guess we'll just stick with the first floor (foyer, parlor, kitchen, first floor quarters and grounds), and I'll open up more areas to explore as we go along. For now, posting order is pretty much 'whoever, whenever', so if the characters are going to split up you guys can basically explore on your own. I'm not going to guide your investigation at first, so much as have the spirits react to your actions, so...have at it.

				Sounds fair, mate. If she hasn't gotten back by then, I'm gonna go ahead and write her character out temporarily; if she comes back, she can resume play without much fuss. Otherwise, I think I might re-open the applicant thread and see if we can get a replacement player to keep the numbers up.

				LMAO, oh holy crow are you serious? I'm sorry, man, I swear I didn't think it would be that common! The only other thing i could think of for a lower-key intro for Jun to the spooky side involved voices in the walls, and i sort of used that on Fulgrim's char. Haha, don't worry, I'll make it easy to break. You can maybe tell from Mals encounter, the house is only trying to annoy and freak you out for now.

				Alright, I've sent Fulgrim, Ophelia and Devi another PM to see if they're still interested in playing. Neither Devi nor Ophelia have been on for a while, however, and I'm not sure they'll be back anytime soon. Unfortunately, if none of them return I don't think the game will be continuing, since I don't think it's fair of me to expect the rest of you to keep playing while other players drift through the revolving door, not to mention the growing difficulty of simply keeping track of who is still in play. Unless, that is, you two (kitakaze and SM) would prefer to continue playing, in which case I can still run the game with only the three of us, although it might be a little accelerated.<br><br>If you guys still want to keep playing with only the three of us, let me know and I'll go ahead and start getting the next phases prepped for investigation.

				Alright then, the game will continue! I'll get a Hatcher post up so Sarah can begin exploring the house, and maybe another Wade post to help move things along. I had an arrangement with another player to provide deeper exposition on the house's possession, but since he appears to have left the game I'll give you guys a choice. Would you rather:<br><br>A) have your characters discover the house's general history and secrets solely through the use of their psychic abilities and investigative skills, which will speed things along but might skip a few bonus nuggets of information? (The bonus parts won't really affect game play, and are only for story enrichment.)<br><br>Or<br><br>B) I can feed the information to your characters via Hatcher over the radios, who will be recieving the info from an additional character located outside the manor (Elizabeth Pike, the woman who compiled the initial dossiers you've already recieved); this will take a little longer, but will provide the chance for the full story's development.<br><br>It's up to you guys which path to take; I am fine with either choice. Also, in case you're wondering, if you choose Option A I will just PM you bits and pieces of relevant info to work into your own posts as well as provide expositive posts from the POV of the house and some of the captive spirits, while Option B will be more 'Wall-O-Text' posts from Hatcher being broadcast to all of the characters. Just let me know which direction you want to go, guys! I'm glad you decided to stick around.

				Each of these has their own merits, and it's too bad we can't mix the two approaches, somehow!&nbsp; The first way gives more potential for spookiness and for the characters to use their psychic talents, but I'm also for story enrichment and getting all the information we can.&nbsp; I suppose if I had to pick one choice over the other, I'd go with B), and it'll really be interesting if the other player decides to go with A)!&nbsp; Lol.&nbsp; Then we'll be stuck, unless you just pick one, since you're the GM of things.

				Well, the reason I offered Option B was in case any of the other players manage to return, I'm not sure if every character has powers that would be suited for Option A. For example, Mal has automatic sketching and Chatty Cathy, so he could draw pictures for clues and Cathy could interview spirits for information, and Sarah's character has postcognition for viewing past events, but kitakaze's character's abilities don't really lend themselves much to that kind of investigation (well, unless he gets really creative with them, which would be cool).<br><br>However, now you mention it I could work out a means for Option C if that's what you guys prefer. It wouldn't really be any trouble at all, and it would still be able to get the 'best of both worlds' effect. If we go with Option A or C though, I might need to remove the restrictions on powers, or at least raise them, in order to allow for each player to get as much info as possible without feeling forced to 'waste' their abilities on what may or may not turn out to be relevant or crucial info.<br><br>Also, I've kind of decided not to reopen the recruitment thread again. I did consider it, but at this point I think it would be like removing the revolving door and putting in a rotating sidewalk. I feel like if I just keep bringing in more players who may or may not commit, this game will die for sure, so if it's alright I think we should just stick with the awesome ones we already have and hope that a few past players decide to return.

				Sure, that works for me.&nbsp; If they decide to come back, cool, but if not I think we can still have a good game, with just the three of us.<br><br>If you're offering an option C, I vote for that one, and maybe just remove the powers limit, so that characters can explore as much space with their abilities as they want, which would probably be more realistic anyway, come to think of it.&nbsp;

				I probably will just remove the restrictions; they were only there to ramp up the&nbsp; 'survival' aspect, like limiting how many bullets you could carry and give sort of a Silent Hill / desperate struggle feel. I might keep the restriction on major abilities though, or&nbsp; at most raise the cap a little...if we make it to the final battle, i don't want any sudden knockouts, lol.

				Woah, I missed out on a veritable chat last night xD<br><br>As to Jun's abilities being used for investigation, since he can see all forms of spiritual energy in one way or another, it isn't that much a stretch to say that he can outright communicate with spirits like normal people. E.g. He even heard Cathy over the radio, though the electronic signal made it difficult. Just a thought.<br><br>I'm in favor of removing the restrictions (at least temporarily), though I can say that I still wouldn't use Jun's big ability except for emergency situations.
