Discussion Halloween Improv

[Julie Justice]

I will be Rhea Porter, a reporter/journalist from the San Francisco Examiner, who is there to write a story about the party for the paper/find out if the mansion is really HAUNTED. A nice girl who always seems to find herself in the middle of trouble!!

I'm writing a little recap for the game:

The four actors are:
@Zack

Audiences, please start listing who you plan to play in this 1930s theme party in more detail so actors may contact you and ask you to participate in certain parts of the plot.

Any questions, please feel free to address them here as well.

I'm playing: Harold Fetton

The Story: Inherited this old mansion from his uncle, hasn’t done much to improve it but wants it to become a well known place. He’s invited some people in swinging San Francisco to a dinner party in hopes of impressing them.

Setting: San Francisco, 1933, Shelgrin-Fetton Manor (also known as Daphne Manor after the Daphne flowers that used to grow around here before they were all weeded out in 1925).

Fae Fetton - Audience
Fae is the long suffering wife of Harold Fetton. Extremely superstitious and deathly afraid of ghosts, she has been urging her husband to sell the spooky manor house for years. Fae never leaves home without her lucky jeweled necklace.

Rhea Porter is from a small town in Northeast Ohio. She always wanted to be a journalist, and wrote for all her school newspapers, using the "pen names" "R. Porter" or Ray Porter." Her mother was a housewife and her father had 2 successful small businesses in town. So Rhea worked for her father, to make money, and in 1925, she went to Oberlin College, a liberal arts college, (founded in 1833), which was the first college in the United States that admitted blacks and women. Rhea wanted to stay in Ohio. There were a lot of exciting things happening in Cleveland. But there weren't many opportunities for female reporters. So when she heard that there were newspapers in California that were hiring female reporters, she decided to take a chance, go on an adventure, and move there. She was hired at the San Francisco Examiner (which was a slightly tabloidy newspaper, but at least they hired her). They sent her to the party to write a story about the "haunted mansion."

 

[Eugene]

Richard Brickdickler is the investigative side of Brickdickler Brothers Private Investigation firm. Dick is an oafish and bumbling PI, ready and willing to skydive to more fantastical theories with supreme confidence. Anyone who abbreviates his name 'Dick' should have their alibi ready.

OKs, in this story, Elsa Olsson comes from a Swedish-American family that immigrated to Chicago in 1890. She was born in America and moved with her brothers to San Francisco in 1922 while her oldest brother studied architecture with the likes of Timothy L. Pflueger and James R. Miller.

She's a socialite frequenting clubs in San Francisco, often seen with her brothers Evan Olsson and Eric Olsson. They're not here this party because they're taking a trip to New York City. She's at this house so she can tell her other "in-crowd" friends all about it.

Alrighty guys. Updated everyone's profile in the first post for easy reading. Use the rest of this forum for discussions.

Remember, the game will take place in the SHOUTBOX. You must play in character only! Out of character comments will be deleted without notice.

The girls and Eugene have decided that this is the frivolous necklace that Fey Fetton is wearing.

Yo Guys, conversation can continue at the dinner table. Even if you character was somewhere else, just go ahead and write them there.

 

[Zack]

Thanks for being patient everyone. Some actors have been busy, but we hope to wrap up the Halloween RP soon and reveal who took the necklace! *dun dun dun*

 

[Zack]

Game over! Thanks for playing everyone. I think we could definitely have more actors next time.

We can brainstorm for a theme for the next ShoutBox RP.
