OOC and Character Creation

As much as I like the NPC feature of the forum, I don't think I'll be using it. I get distracted looking for pictures and I waste time instead of writing my posts.

No worries. I'm fine without them and you've been doing a great job with descriptions so far

Post probably coming tomorrow, brain fried for various reasons.

I'm assuming that once you head into the house, you are going to split up. A couple of things I'd like you to keep in mind: firstly, it is up to you how you approach the situation, I just want to remind you that you are under no obligation to hide your true purpose. And secondly, it would make sense that you've discussed and agreed on the approach beforehand, so each of you would have some rough idea what the other one is doing and saying.

I don't think we have any reason to hide why we're here. We can just announce that Mr. Norrell wants us to look into this disappearance as there are rumors of fairy involvement. I doubt Mrs. Tubbs would turn help away.
Or what do you think, B?

if Edward seeks audience with Miss Lesser while Maximilian talks to Mrs Tubbs, I don't think it will be necessary for Edward to declare their intent? I imagine it would be a servant-to-servant conversation, based on the comraderie granted by a similar class status. He hopes to get the downstairs gossip from her, an unadulterated opinion on her masters, and possibly on Starhouse. My inclination would be to keep their intent quiet with 'the help'.

But I agree that it does make sense that Max plays in the open with the lady of the house.

Yes, I agree that Edward probably won't need to mention their goal right away, but he knows that if it comes up, he doesn't have to hide it or invent a lie.

As Bowl already knows I have surgery tomorrow. It shouldn't interfere with my (already inconsistent) posting schedule, but I'm not sure how zonked out on meds I'll be, so I'm giving you a heads up.

It's a good thing Max isn't eccentric in the slightest

Best of luck for your surgery, no worries.

I didn't even see your post in here right before mine until B's response, Merivel 😅 Oops. You know I'm thinking about you today ❤️

Heads up, I am abroad until Tue, posting might be erratic!

Thanks for the warning, safe travels!

@Dr_B @bowlofspinach are we ok to continue? Technically it's B's turn, but I can get you back together, I was planning to do that in my next post anyway.

I'm good to continue when you are

... Actually, it's my fault? B has posted even before Bowl. Somehow I missed that, apologies!

no worries, good to continue here

I will be away until Tuesday, volunteering at a festival. I might manage to post, but no promises.
