Hello, I was wondering when you are planning on starting this. Because I can submit a character now, but wont be able to do any posting until probably Monday afternoon, maybe soon/later. Thank you for your time.

I don't want to join this but I feel like I should mention in case you don't relize... it no one in PA says the entire state name... we just say PA...

feel like someone isn't goint to know that...

Yesterday's Repeat · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Yesterday's Repeat** on Thu Jul 29, 2010 7:50 pm

@Chaoicangel: I am probably going to start it up over the weekend. But since we only have 2 members other than myself so far, and since it is a plot driven game, I don't think it will move rediculosly(sp?) fast.

@Renthead: Thank you for the heads up, but I am using the full city name because it sounds better in text. If I have a character saying it, then they would simply be saying PA or something similar. I was raised in Los Angelas, so I know how it is. You can tell the tourists apart cause' they use the full city name, and we just say LA.

HalliwellSlytherin · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **HalliwellSlytherin** on Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:33 pm

Can't say I agree with that, I personally think Philly PA sounds good in text and speech... but whatever your RP... and also It's not like that I mean people do still say Pennsylvanian or Pennsylvanian Dutch... It's not like Scranton where you can tell who's a tourist if they pronounce the "T" (Which I seldom do btw) but I always like telling people this type of useless information. Like how there's a Hole to Hell in the Scranton Cultural Center. *memories* But yeah... I love HISTORY WAY TOO MUCH!!!

Howdy everyone. I'm Yesterday's Bed buddy. I hope everyone enjoys this RP :3

Yesterday's Repeat · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Yesterday's Repeat** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 12:21 am

Allo English.

And the game is now open for people to post.

Kurokiku · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Kurokiku** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:38 am

Oo, introductions!

Hello to everyone, and nice to meet you, at least after a fashion. I'm Kiku. I would post, but I'm not really sure how to start... I might give it a shot anyway, and then we can all subsequently ignore me if I fail too badly.

Oscar L. English · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Oscar L. English** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 8:52 am

Howdy, Kiku~
I've have a post outlined in my head at the moment, I just need to make it down to the library so I can type it up. I'm heading that way now.

NathanielTruth · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **NathanielTruth** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:10 am

Hiya,

So, I'm working on my first post. Just one thing: I'm assuming that we start on the day that the team was called in for help; that the murder of the fifth couple was the final straw. So we haven't technically worked on it yet.

One thing Kiku,
In your post you're talking about how chilly and cold it is. This is of course possible, but you made a reference to 'the damn winter'. I hope you realize it's the 24th (or 25th) of august. :P

Kurokiku · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Kurokiku** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:37 am

Ah yes. August. Probably should have checked that. I shall go and fix the reference!

Yesterday's Repeat · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Yesterday's Repeat** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 12:04 pm

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that, as I am in the prosess of moving to a new house, I will only be able to post in the evening. And if said post looks funny please forgive me. I now only have the internet on my phone.

Oscar L. English · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Oscar L. English** on Sat Jul 31, 2010 12:14 pm

Ahh, a first post. It feels good. Much like a sandwich.

Oscar L. English · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Oscar L. English** on Sun Aug 01, 2010 8:40 am

Yesterday had a hard day of moving his massive book collection. He will post sometime this afternoon.

Yesterday's Repeat · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Yesterday's Repeat** on Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:27 pm

Alrighty guys. We have our first piece of evidence up for grabs for any analasist or detective. (Profiler will get something else at a later point.)

Who wants it?

NathanielTruth · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **NathanielTruth** on Tue Aug 03, 2010 4:01 am

Yeah sure!

I suppose I will find it in Amanda's mouth, but I'll wait for approval of that. Just to be on the safe side.

Oscar L. English · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Oscar L. English** on Tue Aug 03, 2010 8:26 am

Fantastic!! Everyone playing this game is so... on the ball. I am so happy to have you guys in our game *sniffle*
I will PM you the information about just what is in Amanda's mouth later today. Feel free to post until then.

I am sorry there was so much reading to do when you all woke up this morning. I promise this will not happen too often. Only when we have a major scene on our hands.
