[@lady horatio] - Excellent work! You're in. :3

The cast now looks like:


Accepted for sure:

- Morgan Blackwood
- Robert Miller
- Jacob Mcalister 
- Professor Emmaline Von Morganstern [@Austronaut]
- Amanda Staten [@lady horatio]

I'm going to be extending a grace period through a little after when I actually get the IC up - it may be closer to this evening than this afternoon, as I've been a bit more busy than I expected today. :3 Life is what happens when you're making other plans, and all that.

Now! You'll notice that there are [b]five[/b] accepted characters. I am really hoping to cap the cast at [b]six[/b], or at the very most [b]seven.[/b] There are some of you I that have PMs to respond to, and I'll get to that as soon as I can. However, really, 99% of my advice is in the first post of this thread. :3

I don't [i]necessarily[/i] want you all to feel like you're in a Hunger Games-esque rush for the last spot, but...well...;)

Now!

I have the outlines of a few "first posts" written up, since I'm hoping this game will go in "chapters," with a large, overarching plot connecting everything. Don't worry, each chapter should be pretty meaty and fun, and they're easy to connect to one another. :3 With that being said, let's have an informal poll:


To start this story, would you prefer:

- [b]Vegetative State[/b]: A very quick, one-scene, sort-of"Monster of the Moment" that functions as a sort of rehearsal for the cast. This would be [i]very[/i] analagous to a tutorial level in a video game, and will feed into the "first chapter" as chosen at my capricious whim.

- [b]Festive Spirit[/b]: Diving directly into a case relating to ghosts, spirits, and an unpleasant discovery. Possibly set around Christmastime.

- [b]Bad Romancer[/b]: Something is stalking Seattle's streets, leaving bodies behind. A new client says she doesn't believe the police's explanation. (Note: Will contain suicide and mental illness.)

- [b]You Can't Spell "Occult" Without...[/b]: A couple of Priest and Hawthorne's agents are among those invited to an occult-themed party at a manor house away from the city, given by a grateful client. Things do not go as planned. May be Halloween or masquerade-themed.


Regardless of which one we pick, you'll be seeing what [i]all[/i] of these look like, hopefully - and they feed into quite a few more stories I'm not telling you about yet. ;)

Also, I think you can post your characters in the "characters" tab now. :3
