Maybe the answer to why Patrick jumped over board, has something to do with this from his Character background:
Patrick still watches the passengers eat, one seems to be getting much more of his attention than the rest. He drops a glass with a SMASH, the sound is hidden by the noises from the passengers, only one or two seem to notice. Patrick stares at the unseen person in the dining room, he looks like he has seen a ghost.
Clearly, Patrick is staring at an unseen person. An unseen person could be a ghost. Or perhaps some kind of clone type of creature that is able to camouflage like in in Predator and is on the ship.
My character is not alive. If you look at the tracksheet you will clearly see Captain Cornetto has a No in the alive column. This means the character is dead. The only character that has the ability to change this is bert and he may only use this ability on the last turn of the first round.
As mentioned earlier, our Captain is dead...if Bert our fine doctor is going to bring him back...then he will be doing that soon as I believe MC said we are nearing the end of the first round (that is to say - everyone has had a chance to write a scene).
I love words and the fact that when the page is blank...there's nothing there until words are formulated in my brain. Those thoughts...rushing through my viens and out my finger tips, find "life" on the page.
When people and places come to life...that to me is exciting.
MBCgirl =) My finger nails should look nice while I type - Red works!
Maybe there's a pack of Predator clones onboard also?
Where are all these clones hiding? The ship isn't that big.
If these creatures were "blinking" in and out- just materializing, that would be a possibility, but I'm not sure though if these "things" would be classed as breaching the rules of introducing characters.
I'm thinking of it as being perhaps energy. Ghost like energy and that's what Patrick might have saw, but I'm just playing with ideas.
The suspense is killing me. The natives are restless. As we near the end of the first round, Yohn is hopefully about to add one to the total kills. Who will it be?
The tension is so thick aboard the SS Attack of the Clones, I mean, the SS Craven that you can almost cut it with a knife. I wonder if someone will.
Yohn that made me laugh so hard I nearly peed my pants. Well done. And such a suspenseful ending too. Perfect segue for my announcement.
We are skipping Blakkwolfe's turn. The next turn is the good Dr. Bert. Who knows what he's going to do - those mad scientist types are so unpredictable.
