[Phantom]

((Retconning that, Johns at home if you haven't read.))

[Heliman]

((ok, careful now people, we don't need to fight over character involvement.))

[Phantom]

((Also I propose something.
John uses regular font.
Lockland uses Courier.
Other characters will be decided as we go.))

[Heliman]

((How about I just decide when we do scene changes.

We're on lockland now right now, lets keep it that way for a bit, Try not to barrel through the whole investigation,))

[Phantom]

((Wait what. Dammit. Also, erm, I also suggest someone creates a picture for the characters in the book. It would help prevent some strange things like Lockland being an Asian Scottish African.))

[Heliman]

((we'll get to that when we get to that, as long as whoever posts content actually reads the entire story first we should be golden.))

[Phantom]

((Gah, I commission Heliman to continue the story of Lockland.))

[Askot Bokbondeler]

((i actually considered entering this thread with a picture of john and samy at smokey joe's, but then i found out i didn't have my drawing tablet.
also, i'd like to comment that the fear of being ninjaed is preventing me from contributing, is this an issue for the rest of the guys or am i the only one feeling that way?))

[Heliman]

((Wait, there's a story hole. Veronica, Samy's wife. Lockland wouldn't have gone to the bar without talking to her first, you think you could ret-con again Phantom?))

[Strife26]

((Honestly, I'm reading Sheldon instead of writing . . .No Fear of Ninjas!

Did I ever specify that Veronica was Samy's wife?
))

[Heliman]

(( is this an issue for the rest of the guys or am i the only one feeling that way?))

((By god askot you're right. There needs to be a new rule for this, so here it is.
You may reserve slots in advance by saying "reserved", everyone 0k with this?))

((also either way it was specified that they are at least living together.))

((EDIT: updated rules.))

[Askot Bokbondeler]

((i meant to ask who veronica was, it sounded like a good pet name for a gun, bottle of whiskey, or slightly-out-of-place-but-not-yet-absurd pet cat, dog or bird. the wife was the least interesting option, and the gun was specified in the same scene veronica is mentioned, and i cannot imagine why samy would want to grab any of the other options upon seeing a menacing peeping tom... what did you have in mind, strife?))

[Strife26]

((I actually specifically left it ambiguous. I originally just had him grab Veronica, but Veronica is a common enough name for a gun, so I made it the gun and Veronica. I'd be fine with her being anything.))

Arriving at Smokey's bar, I paid the Taxicab's fee, and quickly ran in, trying to keep my coat dry from the rain. Inside I could see that the cops had already beat me to telling Mr. Smokey about Samy. Smokey was the bartender I was looking for.
He was enormous. In fact, because of his size the pub didn't even have a bouncer, he could do it all by himself.
I've... never seen such a large man of cry like that.

One of the two cops talking to him was holding Samy's wife, Veronica. Or, at least we called it his wife. It was really just a pet pet parrot, but he loved the thing so goddamn much it sort of became an inside joke. One of the cops said it was willed to him. The little thing was agitated from being outside it's home, and wouldn't stop squawking. I really hate birds.

After Smokey decided to stop blubbering like a big idiot I took him aside for questioning. He said that he saw Samy leave around 8pm-ish. He remembered because he ran out right after John left, apparently worried about something. He remembered there being some sort of commotion outside too, and that the Newspaper boy would probably have seen something.

The boy was still out on the street corner now. It was a shame to see a boy with so many working hours, he probably hadn't even the time to even sleep between now and then. I decided to have a little chat with him.

"Hey kid."

((reserving this post... FUUU! i had an awesome idea for a veronica))
((edit:unreserving, gotta get some sleep. also, the fault with this reserved post method is that the thread isn't updated in the *show new replies to your posts* list when reserved posts are updated. should double posts be allowed? it isn't a big issue, but it might be convenient. on the other hand, the ooc is cluttering the thread a bit :\))
