OOC: Serial Killer Strikes Again ~ NEWS AT 11:00

Wyld ~ good post... careful with the next ones... I'll need to control most of the scenes. :rose:
 
*nods*

Yeah, I kinda figured as much...that's why I stopped where I did. I didn't want to throw things off, seeings as there's a proceedure she follows. Hope I didn't interfere with that with what I posted.

From this point on, if I post as Marty, it will only be in reaction to something she does. Figured that'd be the only way to make sure that things go properly.

Not a wierd choice... *creepy voice* I'm outside your window... hehehe...

Now that is a modern day one of course. She'd have used an antique one, but it gives you the idea.

I was creaped writing it... Who knew how icky I could be ;)
 
I have a final scene where she drops him off, I'll post it later this morning after someone else writes a bit. :D
 
actualkly that particular tanto one of the best kind to have very prominatly displayed in the house. It is dirt cheap, and not a functional weapon. So when asshat burglers break in, and start takign shit, they take the pretty, ornate looking dragon headed katana set (with the tanto) - worth about $200 for all the swords taken, and left the plain, average looking - but very real and expensive rapiers.

So, if you have or want a sword collection, buy the crappy stuff, and display it...so your good stuff might stay put lol.
 
I just want to thank everyone for writing. This is excellent and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. I think that hotel will be a great place for people to runaway too. :D

And the reporter will be busy soon from the way it looks! :D And the police :D Now... a coroner would be nice... (note that was to any writers reading the story!) :D

Her's was very functional :D seeing as it came from a museum :D
 
New character?

A comment and then a proposal for a new character:

The Marty Glenville murder left a lot of evidence: a fairly well-known victim; easily placed on the night of his murder; probably witnesses as to with whom he left, and Angelica Winters does not have a fade-into-the-crowd appearance. Nothing fatal in this, but it should be handled with care. How big a town is Plainfield, anyway? (There really is a Plainfield, IL, by the way, population 25,000 and apparently a fast-growing distant suburb of Chicago: http://www.city-data.com/city/Plainfield-Illinois.html.)

Now, the character. Well, two characters, actually. The first is a misogynist businessman, name yet to be decided, who has been in town unsuccessfully trying to seal a deal with a female potential partner. He's been in town for a week trying to close, and has finally been turned down entirely. He goes out for a drink his last night, hoping to find a woman to degrade and abuse. (He finds something else entirely ...) His appearance maybe should be paced to the serial killer's cycle.

Second character:

Earl Alouette
Age: 38
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Hair: Dark, wavy
Eyes: Dark brown

Earl is a New Orleans native, displaced by Katrina. He comes from the absolute underside of that city, growing up in a brothel run by his mother and being shoved into the organized crime culture of that city. He was a gold gloves boxer and a sometimes heavy for New Orleans mobsters and for his mother's business. He has "parental issues," having long ago killed his apparent father over abuse of a prostitute, and more recently having fulfilled his sickly mother's grim wishes and long-time prophecy for herself that "the sea was going to come and take her home one day."

He bounced around a bit after the hurricane, then found that his mother had left him a sizable life insurance settlement. In spite of having all of the tools and instincts of a hardened criminal, he is almost the opposite, and has decided that the disorientation of his refugee status was really freedom, and he picked Fairfield as a good place to settle and start to learn about the rest of the world.

So he'll take a room at Freedman's hotel, but spend a lot of time at the library (for the first time in his life), where he'll be absolutely smitten by Samantha Cordial's shyness and reserve (which is in absolute contrast to the prostitutes he's used to), throwing a complication at her and Mark Jordan.

He'll also go to the museum, which will have an unusually good selection for a town the size of Fairfield due to an early town father's wealth, travel, and interest in archaeology. There he'll see Angelica Winters (and possibly some of the cops), and he'll be stricken with the notion that there was something familiar about her, and take an interest in her, but in the manner of his past of being a guardian for the sometimes fragile women in the sex trade, and not out of sexual interest. Having a very malleable sense of right and wrong, he'll potentially offer her the possibility of escaping the path of a serial killer.

Yea or nay?

I did my best at covering what I could come up with. Though she isn't a forgetable face and will be remembered as a woman in a bar... Her appearance as a museum curator is not one of skin tight leather and thigh high boots at work either. People see what they want to see... looking at Angelica as a museum curator in a 3 piece business suit and comparing her to a knock out, drop dead, seductress, who picks up people from a bar, coats herself in shadow and lipstick... it would have to be a person that frequents the museum and the bars. (Yes... there are people out there that do)

Also... she is not always out with the public. She rarely does the "tours" and works more behind the scenes. So just being seen at the museum by someone would also mean they had to have more then a passing glance in order to compare the same woman and think, "Wow... same female... oh baby!"

I know clues are there... the obvious being the footprint.

Yes... she did place him and rid herself of him on the night of the murder, but that follows her pattern. Granted waiting a day would be more realistic, but she's just there to "heal" people and get them back into the world. She's got a few screws lose.

The town originally was not the Plainfield, Illinois. Once we picked the town name the state just fell in with it, it wasn't until later it was found to be a real town.

As far as characters go... I like the idea of adding the second one you gave.
 
Both characters sound like a good addition. I am always for tossing in twists. In the beginning it looked as if we'd try blaming Marc for the killings... as of right now.. the way the story is flowing I'm not sure if that will continue to be the case of not. We'll have to see... the power of role play.

It seems you may prefer this second character more than the other, because you seemed to put alot more time and effort into it. If you'd like to come on board and write either one that is fine with me, but Jushorny will need to okay it also. The biggest thing I see about RP is when people don't communicate. I'm all up for twisting things to complicate the story.

The story will end. Either Angelica gets caught, killed, or escapes, or "retires" eventually this story thread will end and the idea of a spin off for other characters is always a possibility.

I have worked with several large threads, this one is one of the more intricate with Time and Savings just above it. Nevertheless, if you would like to help behind the scenes so they are not so "full of clues" by all means please do. I know Babette won't mind and you can PM her if you like.

Thank you for your interest and your comments, fill free to PM either Jus or myself or post here with any questions or concerns. Your opinion matters either way if you write or if you decide to only read.

Thanks for comments. I'd figured the misogynist businessman as Angelica food and nothing more; Earl Alouette is the more interesting character.

I'd like to start writing as soon as possible; I'll PM Jus, but I'm also thinking that it would also work if Earl's interest in Samantha was unrequited: he's basically a romantic, and a prostitute's illegitimate son, so an unattainable source of attraction would be both acceptable and nothing new to him. It would probably be most interesting, though, for Samantha to go from man-less to juggling two lovers who may or may not know about each other ... ;)

The interaction with Angelica, though, would ultimately be more interesting. He'd see her as a little girl, which in a sense is where her emotional pathology has left her, and which would play off of the serial killer headlines. And he'd truly, honestly be unable to see her as anything but a victim.
