Introduction

Preludes
Franz Brokenboch, acclaimed professor of theology, the occult and of all things myth has made a name for himself as an eccentric. Whether it be his messy endeavors at dispelling the curse of Tutankhamun or his sincerest belief that the Loch Ness Monster owes him "tree-fitty", his slightly mad demeanor is offset by sheer brilliance and good naturedness. He has grown close to many students over the years, many going onto careers as politicians, scientists and adult film stars, among other less sticky vocations. His continued correspondence with students past has proven him a continued favorite of the Northwestern Illinois University faculty.

It wasn't until a particularly strange outburst that Brokenboch came under fire, and his tenure promptly ended.

Though the actual nature of said outburst was never given full disclosure, many variations rotated, most ending with Brokenboch speaking tongues and assaulting a young student who had approached him after class. Humiliated and totally shunned from a scientific community that had always regarded him as little more than a joke, he retreated to Brokenboch Manor, a sprawling New England estate as strange and enigmatic as its owner. It would be a year before he made contact with another human, when a small scad of students would receive a very pleasant letter, inviting them to join him in two weeks for a private exhibition of his newest discovery.

They would each be unaware of the trap he had set for them, and just how far it would veer their lives off track.

It is Autumn in the year of 2010. It is a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.

Rules

RULEZ:

[1] Respect the decisions of the moderators. If you disagree, take up your grievances politely.
[2] Respect eachother. Drama is good IC, bad OOC.
[3] Don't be a total fucking doucheknocker. What 'being a doucheknocker' consists of is left to sole discretion of the moderators, but should always be considered to include godmoding or metagaming.
[4] Building on [3], Characters are human, not velociraptors, not vampires, not unicorns, and most certainly not vampiric velociraptorcorns. They are welcome and even encouraged to have diverse and individual abilities that will help the party out long term, just make sure that they are within reason. Nobody should have any magical proficiency at the game's outset.
[5] While description and flowery prose is always encouraged, posts should not be total wankfests that go on FOREVER. Good writing is awesome, but be aware that conciseness is not always a bad thing either.

Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Phew, for a second I thought I killed the roleplay.

I really hope he and Wayward find the time to rejoin us again. As Herr Peacock said, you guys are all fabulous, and I'd also love collaborating on another RP--though I would rather hope to finish this one!


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

I totally love the characters for all of this and am hoping it will continue when brujay is no longer being vigorously reamed by life. (I hope your production has gone off well!) If it doesn't, I would be up for working with you guys on another RP. You're all brilliant writers, with wit and style :D


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

M deepest apologies all! I am in the midst of tech week for my show and have been, as the professionals say, "reamed in the asshole" with life. I will totally have a post for ya'll tomorrow, and will be back on board the gravy train, as it were.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

So everyone knows, brujay has gone MIA. I haven't heard from him in about a week. I'm going to give him a little longer to show up, then I'm going to forge ahead without him if he doesn't show. Sorry about this.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Just want to say I'll be getting up a professor post LATE today. I just had a veterinary appointment that required me to get up at the asscrack of dawn so I am going to SLEEP for awhile first.

Thanks for the patience.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

I just wanted to say you are all doing fabulous so far. Things will be progressing very quickly, and when they do they will get exciting. Scouts honor. :3


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

I keep staring at Win's icon. It's just so adorable and fuzzy, I want to pet him.

OH, and I posted. You try writing while your girlfriend and her family are dancing along to Rocky Horror. That explains the rambling quality of it all. D:


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

I just figured he's fuzzy, Win is fuzzy, it works out. DERPADERP.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Hah, I love how Win is represented by Thyne. Nuefield best live up to his past lives...

Anyway, I wasn't aware that Brujay wanted me to handle Brockenboch before, so I'm going to go ahead and make a post as our dear packrat professor before I head to bed.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Off topic: I just realized now that brujay's avatar is animated...and it severly tripped me out for a moment because I thought I was seeing things.

On topic: I'm liking the way this role play is looking already. :] Hope my first post is up to par and can't wait to read everyone elses.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Post and interact as you like. Just so long as it doesn't get in the way of moving through the story (no long bout of public cybersex, please!), have to say we strongly encourage you to post whenever you feel the inkling.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

I have one quick question, and I apologize if this sounds stupid. Are we to just post one at a time and post again when everyone else posts, or do we just post after at least one person posts?


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Yep, you're free to post away!


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

So... we can just start? If so, sweet! :D


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Alright cool cats, being that neither WaywardDreamer or I is proficient with the roleplay tab, we will be utilizing the tab as our hub and any actual posting will take place in the IC thread here:

IC THREAD!

You are free to post as you please!


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Glad to be here! I'm excited to see this in action, and I can't wait till we get that last player and start.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Bienvenue! Good to have people here, it is. Since the only one of you I know at all is brujay, I'll just say that we're looking into filling the last spot now, we should be rolling shortly, and Days of Grass is a good book.

I've been highly humored by the variety of the characters you've made. Happy you're all onboard for this.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Happy to be on board! Can't wait for this to start. :]


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

We've got another prospective player, but insofar no! We're awesomely pathetic like that. aha.


Re: [OOC] The Outsider: A Season of Mists

Er...just wondering. Did anyone else sign up for this?
