Leaves@Rune_Alchemist Woah woah woah. Are we about to see a fish-cult abomination/hulking winter murder spirit throw down? Having these two both be at the Moore's at the same time... Well, to quote (nearly everyone from) Star Wars, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

@Sickle-cell Queeeeeestion. So since Maxwell sent the updated order by text message (which is fine, he has no idea that Anonymous is blind... Or faceless) how peeved will he be to have the order ignored and later informed that texts are no good for communication? :P
Bump. Bump. Bump. The road wasn't the smoothest where Gwyn was driving. Or maybe that was his heart. Difficult to say, really. No, wait, yeah definitely his heart. What would they think? What would they say? Would they already know who he is? Oh god, what if they already knew who he is?! Olivia, Quincy, or any of the others could have told them what they thought. But the Moore's would be reasonable, right? They'd be reasonable... Yet he was going to see them because they weren't reasonable. They weren't being reasonable at all! Oh no. Oh no they were going to hate him. What if one of them has a gun and shoots him? They they chase him down with a bat? No no no no no nononononononogoodnogoodNOGOOD-screeeeech!
Gwyn had to pull over on the side of the road as his mind and heart went running wild. His vision got fuzzy and his hearing went wonky as the stress became too much to handle. Another car zoomed by, honking its horn at him along with a rude hand gesture from the driver. Sorry asshole. Next time I nearly faint from anxiety I'll be sure to signal properly! UGH! Gwyn let out a cathartic yell and punched the dashboard. His hand stung, but in a way he felt at least a little better. Once a few more cars passed by, as did some time, he felt up to driving again.
The young Thatcher pulled up to the household of the Moore's. He had never been before, but then again he never had a reason until just now. Still, it wasn't difficult to find. Suzie's parents were as well known and influential in the town as she was at school. He slowed to a crawl next to the two floor suburban home, making sure to give the two car driveway a wide berth. Taking a deep breath, his eyes fell upon their lawn ornament, some kind of fish. Yeah, made sense. Innsmouth was a major fishing community. Something that he... Wanted to take part in again. Shaking his head, Gwyn forced memories old out of mind and took his first step out of the car. The beeping of the security system let him know that the doors had locked and he trudged up the walkway, approaching the red brick house.
More nervous than usual, he came to a stop in front of the door. His hands, his legs, his everything, it was all shaking. What... What was he doing here? No, this would turn out horrible. They'd hate him, they'd kick him out, they'd have him arrested! If they knew who he was. If not, then they'd hate him anyway. He was the nervous freak nobody liked, the creep, the pervert taking pictures of their daughter in secret. It doesn't matter that that's not what he was doing, he wasn't doing that it's all wrong they've got the wrong idea all wrong wrong wrong wrong! Doesn't matter, they'll hate him. Might as well go home now, consider this whole thing a bust. Just leave, leave the grieving family alone so they don't have to deal with your worthlessness too. Gwyn turned back around... And took a step back toward his car.
Covered in a cold sweat, Gwyn went to wipe it from his face. That's when he saw it, when he realized he was still holding it. The picture. The picture he had taken of Suzie, even back before they caught him, the one he wanted to bring to the service. Suzie smiled back at him with confidence. She was telling him to go do it. I'm still out there. Remind them not to give up hope. This was ridiculous, it was just a picture! A picture taken two months ago! She wasn't saying any of those words and she sure as hell didn't plan to reassure him like that! But still... That's how he felt looking at her in this way. Gwyn sighed. Then he sighed again. One more time for good measure. There we go, normal heartbeat now. Then he turned back around, took one step back to the doorway, and he rang the bell.

@SkinnyTy@Sickle-cell Just checking in to see where interest currently lies, or doesn't if it has died or diminished.
As for literally everyone else in this game, I have a brief announcement. I am going to completely rip off something that Sickle Cell is doing in his new Worm game, which really is just borrowed from the base material to keep things in the same narrative spirit. For those who do not know, the author of Worm interspersed story arcs and chapters with smaller interludes showcasing different characters in the world. I would like to start doing the same for the large collection of NPCs that we have in this world. Originally I had intended to only reveal as much as is learned in story, but I feel that this would make things a bit more fresh and let me openly discuss more of some of these characters rather than keeping everything about them locked away in a dark cave of wonder and secrets. Therefore I'll occasionally be taking player poll of who you'd like to see an interlude chapter for, which I would write up and post alongside one of the normal updates. The only character that I won't be doing this for is the Broker, for some really massive plot related reasons. The other characters all have other aspects of their lives or past that I can expand on in this manner, but literally everything about the Broker is spoiler worthy.
So here's the deal. I'll be updating CoD soon as possible, and with it the first character interlude as well. So how about it, folks? Place your vote here and I'll tally them up and make something special for them in the next update.

Alright do you want me to edit something into my last post or do you want to transition there yourself?
<Snipped quote by Old Amsterdam>
Good to know you planned for something else as well.
It doesn't much matter to me, save that I have no idea what their house would look like. :P I'll be looking to possibly get a new post during my lunch break (which begins in 40 minutes).
<Snipped quote by ProPro>
Oh you're heading to the Moores? For some reason I thought Gwyn would come to the funeral and try to speak some sense into them. Also, Old Amsterdam tagged you in his post so I figured you'd respond. You can make the transition to the Moores if you like, I'll follow up on it.
Yeah, the end of my first post said that he was heading directly for their house after school.
Have her fight Replicant. Sure he'll die horribly, but as she slices him up his body will explode on her in a cocktail of every horrible sin against nature he's ever created. ;D
