By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
‘Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,’ I said, ‘art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore –
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!’
Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore.'”
- The Raven (Edgar Allan Poe)
Forget Me Not: Episode One, Greenwich
Coming Soon in August
Welcome to the first episode in a series that will come under the storyline Forget Me Not. The subject matter of this plot is intended for mature audiences only, and deals with human terror when confronted with the unknown, with elements of psychodrama and human failings.
During the episodes, I will be keeping track of an additional health stat for the duration, SANITY, and the actions of the characters attending and what they experience will have a direct effect on their sanity level. And this, in turn, will have direct consequences on the story itself and how it unfolds. The stat ranges from 0 to 10, and will start out at 8.
Those attending are encouraged to play out their character's sanity stat and include aspects of it in their roleplay.
Generally I follow the 3-clue rule, where each piece of information appears throughout the plot at least three times. So those involved do not need to feel that if they fail at something, or miss out on some piece of evidence that it's crucial, chances are, there will be other clues leading towards the same conclusion.
There will be some lingering effects between plots that I will ask those involved to play out on grid.
There will be spots for 3 to 4 characters to attend. Due to a bug with my storyidea submission, I am currently awaiting staff intervention before I can create the plot. In the meantime, if you are interested, feel free to throw me a note and I can work on customising content for your character.
Introduction
An investigative reporter, Pauline O'Toole, who works for Boston newspaper "Strange Things", has put out a request for aid in investigating a series of deaths that occurred near the Cooper House. According to locals in the nearby town of Greenwich, the house is haunted. The Strange Things paper is known as something of a tabloid paper, given very little credibility in the supernatural world. It's as likely to print stories about alien abductions as anything genuinely real.
From Greenwich News, June 19th 2021:
It has been four days since the parents of 15 year old Tiffany Jensen reported her missing, after she failed to come home from a bonfire party at a friend's house. On Friday, a group of Tiffany's classmates gathered to celebrate the end of another school year, a tradition followed by many Greenwich teens for years.
[...]
It has also become known that a group of kids then partook of another Greenwich tradition, scaring themselves by daring each other to enter the long abandoned Cooper house. The Cooper house is a local "haunted house" where the notorious Andy Cooper went crazy and murdered his wife and child in 1965. According to one local teen: "A bunch of us walked to the Cooper house and then, one by one, we had to go in alone, find something and bring it out as proof. Well I remember Tiffany going into the house, and I think she came back out, but I'm not sure. A lot of us were kind of drunk by then."
From Greenwich News, March 13th 1965:
"Yesterday the small farming community of Greenwich was shocked to the core when one of their own apparently went mad, with deadly results. Andy Cooper, aged 51, a farmer, war veteran and volunteer fireman murdered his wife Edna, aged 45 and their son James, aged 15."
[...]
"Andy had mutilated their bodies after death, cutting them open and removing much of their insides."

Antagonism Style
Generally I prefer smaller scenes, with at the most, two antagonists and will try to avoid inflicting gank squads on others. I enjoy a healthy amount of back and forth between two enemies, and am very open to retaliation for actions my PC does. I utilise schemes, curses, potions, combat, operations, nightmare pull, observation, victimize, dreams and abduction. I tend to avoid inflicting lengthy clinic stays or captivity.
Victimisation Preferences
The two big things that I prefer to try and avoid is rape RP, and extensive captivity. The former, if I am involved in, will almost certainly result in a FTB on my part. I prefer to avoid fast combat if possible and gank-squading tends to be too fast paced for me to keep up with, and not a lot of fun to partake in. I have no issues with losing, but prefer combat be kept to a smaller group. 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 1 is fine. 5 vs 1 or 10 vs 1, not so much.
Asides from that, I'm pretty open to being fucked with in a variety of ways.
