Following up the post's OOC here not to make it too crowded
OOC:
This is a good moment to decide fishing is a sport. I can mark any track, but Gertrude's development is event based, not track based. I'd suggest marking Monday's track (maybe Parish) as they are the ones behind the change. Though I guess picking a toilet seat is not going to be very impressive 😂
I was also think she expressed 2 wishes now (though not directly): have a friend and catch the biggest fish. I was thinking Harrold might decide on his own to the first one before this post, but he can also help with the second. Ideas?

Either Monday's or Parish's journey track may be advanced, your choice.

Harrold could grant either wish, though of course it will be subtle and not obvious that he's done anything. Harrold works in mysterious ways! :D

Hmmm.. sounds like an opportunity for Monday to steal the thunder 😁

Oh! this is an even better idea! We can keep it a mystery (for now) since Gestrude got distracted and won't be asking any wish unless asked again. When convenient, we bring it up in another chapter and add some small continuity to the story :)

I'm going on a trip tomorrow through Sunday night. Probably won't post while I'm gone (but you never know).

I'm planning on doing some sort of redemption for Monday's rudeness. I'm wondering if I'm allowed to do what I was thinking of doing.

Instead of having Monday fish, can I spend a token to have any other character get a fish on their hook? It would be a sneaky way for her to help out without showing compassion in public. Cause I feel like she's someone who's wearing more of a mask than Gertrude is.
By the way, whenever Monday does something sneaky, feel free to have you character notice it :D

@TheGenerator Yes, that's fine :)

Just checking my summary of the rules and found this one:
CESN says:
since it's water and lakes, I''m thinking something related to Viv. Something with a value of 2 then... Let's make it weird "snowglobe" where inverting it moves the creatures inside from above to below water (Viv's whoopsie).
Looks like there's some details on the snow globe to keep in mind for late

While I’ll do a full Housekeeping post in the morning, we can start thinking about which chapter we want to play next. Let me know if you have any preferences!

Congratulations on completing our first chapter!

I've created a new thread with a link to the tracking document for Characters, Tracks, and Shelves. Here we can see the progress everybody has made on their journeys, make notes or changes to character sheets, fill out assorted tracks, and place Mementos on Shelves to make progress towards unlocking new things. Take a look at it when you have a chance.

At the end of "Gone Fishin'" everybody takes tokens equal to the value of their catch and holds on to them, as well as any other tokens they've collected, as Leftovers for Housekeeping. By my count, that means the total Leftovers for each character is 2 for Gertrude, 5 for Monday, 3 for Parish, 5 for Sal, and 2 for Lady Sheridan. These Leftovers are used to mark tracks on each character's journey. I'll go ahead and marked them for Monday, Parish, Sal, and Sherry.

@CESN, Gertrude's journey doesn't have a track. Instead, she makes progress by accomplishing specific goals. Take a look and let me know if you think any of those goals can be ticked off after this chapter. Her 2 Leftovers can be used to mark the Assorted Tracks. Some of those tracks unlock new Guests and a few lead to more Mementos, so take a look and let me know where you'd like to put them.

We now have our first Memento, a Square (Soggy Old Boot)! Take a look at the different Shelves available. The one Memento on its own isn't enough to unlock anything just yet, but we can decide as a group which Shelf we want to start working towards unlocking first.

Once all that's done, it'll be time to pick the next Chapter that we play! Take a look at the Chapters threads and let me know which one(s) you'd be interested in playing next.

Let me know if you have any questions! :D

Thanks everyone! I jumped in late but had great fun :D and a pet turtle!!!
I loved how nice Parish was about everything. You all made the characters come to life :) Just good vibes all round (Even with Monday trying to be annoying :P )

Looking forward to the next one.

Oh yes she doesn't have a track:
[ +- ] Finding my place
Making a friend could work, as this is the wish the talking fish "will be granting". Even if we think Harrold is the friend she made himself, this would still have to wait to be marked. So maybe not yet...

I might have impressed one of the other residents (I guess that's either Parish or Sal, the other being guests?). Maybe fishing becoming a sport impressed Parish? Not sure that is strong enough to mark it (mechanically that's 2 points for a track I guess)

I do think Parish can be considered impressed enough to mark that one off. As for the close friend, I don't think that has happened yet, but perhaps the next time Gertrude is played in a chapter, we can see the effects of Harrold's wish playing out. :)

I wouldn't mind trying one of the pensive chapters like "Ice skating" or "Firefly catching". If people are up for something like that.

I accidentally had access restricted to the document I uploaded. It should be fixed now, so you all can view and edit it.

I confirm that Parish is impressed by Ger's enthusiasm :)

I loved playing Parish! He was a lot of fun :) And he felt like "fish in the water" while fishing :p
