@Dark Light has officially been removed from the roleplay.


Dorothy Pender

Location: Docks (Underground)


Dorothy stood still as Foy stumbled a bit, watching him intently to see if he was in need of any aid. The man may have vexed her, but he was helping her and furthermore, he was her responsibility. Besides, if she had to treat him for a concussion it would waste precious time. She doubted that he would be a model patient as well, likely would insist on wearing a designer gown of some sort during any examinations. Giving her eyes a few moments to adjust to the comparatively dim lighting, she noticed as well that they were in a storm drain, spotting the bloody footprint when Foy pointed her attention towards it.

A sense of relief filled Dorothy. The eccentric man was worth his salt after all.

Taking a step forward after Foy had, her own gun drawn, her eyes widened as the man flailed about again. Fortunately, rather than twisting his ankle, he just put his foot into the water. It didn't seem to be much of a problem to Dorothy, until the man's prissiness struck her once more, as he was muttering about his shoes, mocking her earlier comment. And then, to Dorothy's horror, the man took off both his shoes and socks.

"You're practically beggin' to cut your foot and get a nasty infection like that," Dorothy sighed. She didn't understand this man. If the drain was too filthy for his clothing, why was it clean enough for his feet? "Borrow my socks, if you like. They might fit." But unless Foy consented to borrowing the pair of socks, Dorothy wouldn't remove her boots and hand them over. If she did, she'd use the wall for balance. She didn't much feel like sticking her bare feet in that "water" herself.

She would then continue to follow the man along the drain, keeping her eye out for any sudden movement or further bits of blood. Their time was limited and she really was looking forward to checking off all the tasks on her list. The more that got done, the better.

Fitz Townsley

Location: Town (Toy Store)


Fitz smiled nervously at the man, happy to meet yet another kind stranger but scared witless at the same time. He was trapped in his own paradox: he wanted to meet people and to make friends, yet the very thought could almost paralyze him. The most obvious effect was in his constant stutter--around people he had known for ages, the stutter was almost gone. And with strangers, depending on the situation, it could make him almost unintelligible. But fortunately, the atmosphere of the store seemed to soothe his nerves, as long as he focused on one object at a time. Any more than that and a sort of panic claimed him, as there was just too much wonder to look at and not nearly enough time.

"Y-yes, I do. Th-though I doubt I'm very good at it," Fitz said weakly. As much as he loved playing games, that didn't always make him very good at them. He also didn't have much of a sense as to whether he actually would be a worthy opponent. He had mostly played his twin growing up, winning and losing about equally. He had played with some others at the University of Osiris, but those he knew there tended to go for games that allowed three or more players. One of those very same friends had made his bracelet, a twisted thing made of wires that he treasured dearly.

"B-b-but I'd love to play, if you don't mind," Fitz then added, worried that the man would get bored with him and move on. He pulled out the chair on the other side of the table and sat down, figuring that he might as well pass the time and play a game. This was what traveling was all about, right? Seeing new sights, meeting new people, hearing about the world outside of books and universities.

He could always peruse the games they had available for play after the game. And hopefully, provided he wasn't too rusty, it wouldn't be a very short one. Fitz hoped dearly that he'd be able to present some sort of a challenge for the kind old man.

@Nallore: Shall I pop Jenna over and start working up a relation?
Okay, guys. Gonna need you all to read this carefully, try not to panic with glee, and then calmly PM me your choices -

As you can tell, time is getting pretty complicated. This isn't healthy by any means for time, lol. At this rate, you guys will soon succeed in ripping a hole in the fabric of reality. And while we could not have any interesting consequences from that, where's the fun? So @Nallore and I chatted, and we came to a decision.

You are all allowed to bring back, as an NPC or a full character, someone who has died in a previous AH roleplay. For those of you so insanely lucky as to have never lost a character, you can make up someone who died in some sort of tragic accident if you wish. Doesn't even have to be a tragic death. Only requirement is that they have died.

Though to be honest, they aren't actually coming back to life...Instead, a younger version of them is being ripped from their time stream and brought to the current day in RP in Coventry. So for example, let's say I wanted to bring back Sutton from Abandoned Hope. I can't bring her back after Daniyal killed her, but I could bring in a version of her 2-3 years before she died in Abandoned Hope. She would have no knowledge of her impending death or anything.

If you want to do this, please send me a PM with the following information:
1. The character you'd like to bring back
2. How that character died
3. When in their life you'd like to "take" them from -- i.e. will we see a young child version? Is it a few days before the AH disaster? Maybe, hell, it was during the Altsoba massacre, as long as it was before they died.

EDIT: Forgot to add this -- they'll be brought in only when time is actually completely and utterly broke. I'll tag you all when it's time, but it'll also be obvious from the update itself.
@Dark Light: I just finished going through it. Matching the two posts side by side, it is obvious that you did try to parallel it by using similar structures and changing the mood from her excitement to his fear. However, for example "From [young] Alice Blackwood's companion to the captain of the ship, to finding" is word for word the same as Fantasy's, with the exception being the brackets. Another example is the direct word for word line of "expected to have some sort of ally here." A lot of the post seems to be you just adding in one word to make it different, which is still considered plagiarism.

This is really unacceptable. I was hoping that it would just be some slight things you ripped off, but given that it's large pieces, you have six hours from this post to rewrite your post -- anything currently written there CANNOT be reused. It is null and void. Start over. If you fail to do this, you will be removed from the roleplay.
@Dark Light Yeah, since you posted in the OOC and admitted it was a copy, gonna have to call you out on that. I'm going to be going through it with a fine tooth comb shortly. If I find any phrasing that is identical, even half of a sentence that is the same, the post will be considered null and void. You'll then be required to fix it before your previous post hits day 7. Plagiarism isn't something I take lightly.
@Dark Light: Day 6!
@FantasyChic: Day 5!
@Witch Cat Good, because you are now on day 7 :P
@Nallore I triple dog dare you to include Kyle somehow lol
