Dead Marshes - A Word Apart

[Agent Kafka]

No problems. I particularly like the relationship between Quentin and Questor! And it seems that you have clearly captured Quentin's vibe.

Thanx *blushes* Well, your well-develloped character background surely helped ;D

From what I see the "expositions scenes" are not a problem for us... I'm eager to see what we can do with an action scene!

Indeed! ;D

Well, once Kafka will have made his next post, I'll make another "killer" post, to add a touch of horror... *evil grin*

But then it seems we'll be stuck unless we find someone interested in incarnating the forensics expert...

Have no fear, CM is here!

Not to blow my own trumpet or anything, but TOOT!

Michael Francis Luder, aka "Quincy" (()) - FBI Forensics dude extraordinaire.

Born in England to American parents, only to be moved back to America when he was 10, Mike never felt he fit in with the Americans around him. Still, he was an intelligent boy, with a keen interest in biology. His dream was always to become a doctor, and he fulfilled his dream, in a fashion, much to the delight of his family ("He's got an 'ology!!"), by becoming a doctor of forensic medicine, at the age of 26. Then, for a reason unknown to me at this stage but to be edited in later, he joined the FBI and stuff.

To look at, he is not abnormal. Tall, slightly husky, glasses that serve to make his face look narrower (and help him see as well, naturally). Brown, short hair and bluey-grey eyes.

;D I'm flaterred, but I think you really should pick up another name for your character CM... It would be too weird and confusing (for me at least) to have another "Rick T. Nash" inside the story (and no, my middle name isn't Theodore )

But glad to have you on board anyway

I'll PM you with the details on the murders (and what can be learned from your autopsies) later today (well, maybe not before late today... Don't hold your breath)

Have you checked "Trotsky's Autopsy Notes" yet? (if no, the link is in the first post) It will help you "sound" like a real forensics

[Cannibal Monkey]

Edited, now I have a far superior name

And yeah, I did read the notes. Not very much, but I did. I figure if I speak total gobbledegook, nobody will be able to tell much whether Im making it up or not. So there will be a mixture of good science stuff, and ridiculous garbage most likely.

[Rick T.Nash]

Well, since Max isn't participating to the story I think it would be less confusing to use his name... Yet I'd like to have his approval!

The most interesting part for you in "Trotsky's notes" is the glossary at the end of it. It would be cool if you could use the proper words when speaking (like a true scientist would do) for the story's "credibility" sake, okay?

[Cannibal Monkey]

Since when have you needed permission to use someone's name in a story? If I were a psycho murderer or sexual deviant Id understand, but as a perfectly respectable FBI agent... bah.

Anyway, I'll try using the glossary, and anything else I can think of that isnt there (TENSION HEMOTHORAX; TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX; TENSION HEMOPNEUMOTHORAX)

Now to wait for a useful spot in the story to start...

[Rick T.Nash]

;D I understand your point on the names issue but well, we never know where the story will go...

As far as your starting point is concerned... Once Kafka will have posted his "first night in New Orleans" post, I'll make the killer come back home. Then It'll be Kafka's turn again... Or Oz's if he has something to post before we get on with the "first day of the investigation". (I'm almost certain of this unless Oz doesn't want to reveal who's this "her" he wrote about in his last post... Yes, I'm curious )

First thing they (Ferri and Questor) should do in the morning should be meet you for the autopsies...

Thus you shouldn't have to wait too long

[Cannibal Monkey]

Thats what I like to hear.

*twiddles thumbs and waits*

[Agent Kafka]

Nice to see that our Forensics expert is here! Welcome!

Took me some time to coming around and posting. I had a couple of deadlines for reports from real life!

Looking forward to the next posts! ;D

[O.H.Lee]

Erm... Kafka, if you don't mind, it would be better if you could delete the last paragraph of your post... I wanted to add a post for Questor that would take place at night and I think Rick wanted to post about the killer's night...

I think it would be better if we tried to keep a "timeline" logic" to our posts...

Once we're done with our posts you can post that morning paragraph...

Is it okay with you?

[Agent Kafka]

Oooops... I should have read more carefully the earlier posts. My fault. Fixed it.

[O.H.Lee]

Okay, I'm done... Now I think it's Rick's turn ;D

[Rick T.Nash]

I'm terribly sorry but something unexepected has happened yesterday (nothing really bad but annoying anyway), preventing me from writing the post... I'm still really busy at the moment and I'm just dropping by to apologize.

I'll try to find the time tonite, if I can't I'll post it tomorrow anyway...

Sorry again!

EDIT: Erm... I've just noticed this in Kafka's first post:

The car still stood in the middle of the street, nearly congesting traffic.

Yet it seems that Oz skipped it too since he dídn't take it into account in his post!

IMHO, the best way to solve that problem is to change that line to "The car was parked half on the sidewalk, blocking part of the street, nearly congesting traffic"
It would solve this little problem without to much re-writing of the first posts... If we keep the original line, then you'd have to change one of the following posts, they just can't leave the car in the middle of the street, it's unrealistic....
