"No, no, I said, 'Mostly Dead.'  Mostly dead is still Slightly Alive!" Hi everyone!  Sorry for the long and unexplained absence.  I am willing to pick this up again if everyone is still interested in continuing. Again, my apologies for the disappearing act.

"Thank you!" Amy cheered into the phone and hung up.  She looked to Julia, her expression mirroring the other girl's disgust.  "Six six one, twenty-six, twenty-one," she said when she saw that Julia had already equipped herself with pen and paper.  Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the gathering...

It was brilliant - that's why it took me three days to notice, LOL! I'm SUCH an idiot xD

Sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice: Three brown lumps. Three brown lumps. See how they drown. See how they drown. They all ran after Kthulhu's wife, Who cut up their minds with a frightful knife, Did you ever see such a sight in your life, As three brown lumps? Sorry...

Suddenly, Amy's entire aspect changed drastically.  Gone was the quiet, worried, concentrating young woman, replaced by a vivacious sounding teenager.  It was an act she had performed many, many times and she would have been mortified to tell Julia how she had developed the persona.  She slipped...

A very distant and distracted part of Amy's mind was glad that Julia was looking around, being observant and careful, the way girls are supposed to buddy up and protect each other when they go to college parties.  She didn't need her eyes to know this, the very sounds of Julia's movements were...

Immediately upon hearing the low sounds, Amy turned the phone's hand set toward Julia and beckoned her to lean in and listen to the strange sounds.  When the call ended, Amy closed her eyes and tried to recite what she had heard, "Help me, I don't know where I am but I fear near the sea...

Amy looked between the ringing payphone, the two oldsters on the dock and Julia.  Seeing that Julia was reluctant to pick up the phone -and who could blame her- Amy tentatively reached for the old fashioned handset.  What had started out as a bright, warm and sunny day, suddenly seemed drear and...

Amy silently chided herself for forgetting that not everyone could just jump up and run a couple miles.  She expected that from older people, but she was constantly surprised that someone her age wasn't a specimen of perfect physical fitness... which was really a stupid and arrogant assumption...

Amy wanted to run down every side street and ally and look in every broken window.  Despite the small city being so creepy - and home to a gang of kidnappers, apparently - it had a certain, spooky charm.  The nearly-deserted streets, the occasional drawn blind or slammed shutter notwithstanding...

I'm sorry I've been so terribly slow!  I've gotten ridiculously busy with work. But that's still plenty better than not working! I'll post as soon as I can - like, today, even!

"No, I don't want to stir up trouble," Amy said with a mischievous grin that belied her words as they made their way downstairs and outside.  "But I can tell by the way you've been taking notes about this kidnapping that you're going to, sooo... I figure I better keep you company." Out on the...

Pssst... Don't wait for me - I won't be able to bang out a post until Tuesday, unfortunately.  Life is like that sometimes.  Beside my crazy schedule, I broke a finger, so posting is painfully slow... and painful, LOL.

"Where to?" Julia asked. Amy thought about it for a minute, pacing in a slow circle.  It seemed the slender, athletic girl was incapable of standing still.  "I only see two choices," she said, finally.  "Either the Waite house or the river front.  And it's way too bright and early for...

LOL!  I think Miles' accent is getting thicker!

"Surely you remember what we saw in Rothschild just yesterday, Amy." Amy smiled and rolled her eyes dramatically.  Her eyes were green and pretty and rolled quite nicely. "Yes, I remember," she said with a grin, "That's why I'm asking if there's any other place to shop." Amy sat back...

@RaspberryBeret That's okay, I almost never post on the weekends and this seems to be a well paced game... wait, 'Ditch Amy'?!?!?  Why? O.o   Is she really that bad?  Or is Julia playing hard to get, LOL? @DevilishDoodler Yeah, that's quite the accent.  It reminds me of the way Lovecraft...

@RaspberryBeret After what officer O'Sauron said, I was thinking of having Amy jog along the river front just to look around.  Probably nothing to see during the daylight hours, so a nighttime excursion might be in order, yes?

I did do that, didn't I? Does this mean we're not sneaking off to the river front together, tonight?

@DevilishDoodler Thanks!  You're the Bee's knees, as they say in Arkham. "Harsh tone of voice"?!?!?!?  I tack it all back, you're a big meanie-poo!  :P
