Session Start: Thu Dec 27 21:25:01 2001 *** Now talking in #whosim *** Topic is 'NADW: Doctor Who and the Sorceror's Spell pt 1' *** Set by Jacie on Thu Dec 20 20:38:54 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Jacie It's "Autumn Mist" Everyone is fine :) Thanks for asking :) Hi Jen Thank you thank you, thankyou... ab infinitum You got your presents, Cody? Yes thank you As long as it is fun, who is to complain? Nice crew tonight, eeven thouigh we miss David. Listened to Minuet In Hell turned on tv and scifi was playing the DW movie What about the kitty? Since David can't come and he wanted to do the library scene, do you all mind if we alter the script a bit? I saw that too, Cody! Wow, Cody. What karma is that? np my only question was if there were really a spectre chess Don't think so. I just made it up. I'm taking it and all of yawls genopurousity as an omen of goodness for the new year Oh, for CHristmas I got the Harry Potter game. Very addicting. I've been wandering the castle for hours. Nice. Ok, so the change will be instead of going to the library, we're gonna get delayed by some changing walls and traps. brb. I'll be ready for whateverf. and so my spelling goes as I attempt to type quickly ;-) So Beginning is the same. I will most certainly take part in this. Middle and Ending are different. I'll take some from the game I've been playing. When we go to the hidden stairs, part of the group will get separated... Eos, Ron & Irish. aack... brb. The rest will encounter traps and goblins. They're these little monster creatures that attack out of nowhere. Just follow my lead. End? We have to escape the dark magic parts of the castle and make it safely to the library. End when we arrive at Library? Trouble is, the path requires hopping some floating bricks and not falling into a bottomless pit of dark magic. Uh huh. I can handle that, and I know our fair crew can as well! When we all make it to the library, we pause for the night. There we will find Eos, Ron & Irish. Ok, is everyone here and ready? CASTING CALL... <===============Fearful Fred <=== Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Eos & Irish (for the night) <=== The Doctor *** TheBrig is now known as FearfulFred <==== Hermione Mary, who are you up for? <> Not sure what is going on?? Wanna be Ron? He could stay with DOc & company. I am so glad you could join us, Mary. I just wanna send Eos & Irish off so I can pause them. I will be whoever :) You could be Harry too. That'll leave me to do scenery. NO not Harry Pick please. Ron Ok, then Ron. DO you know his character? yes Ok cool.
