I may be four minutes early…..

Never too early to start celebrating Friday.

: So true…I've already started my three day weekend a day early…just wasting my life away WATCHING MLP PMVs and eating marshmallows….I wonder if marshmallows are good in brandy….OR GIN!! ( not so good in beer as they are in cocoa though… )

There will be LOTS of goodies downstairs for you. Bacina has been busy.

Teams talking to each other was the second most requested thing for WS3, so this is trial to see if/how it will work. I agree with ya! :D

It goes away. And yes, you may buy one.

Oh, gosh. I LOVE this! steals

Hmmmm now I just have to decide what I would like the most and pool my thoughts with my awesome team! Lol thanks for this!

, oh how exciting! Hoping this way will work also then, thanks!

Wow! No one choose the dress as a clue.

Let's see if I have it right LOL....you posted the list of who has which clues...now we can just smail the captain of a team (for some teams it's unclear to me who the captain is :( ) and ask if we can buy a clue if we want?

Right, that's a great way to do it. There's no set way. Also, not every team sent me a captain.

With her habitual chewing on one of her trusty No.2s and constant scribbling on page after page of scrap paper while following the rest of the group around Caudata's room wearing a second one down to it's quick, it's a wonder that Laurie hasn't developed lead poisoning yet. The girl is in the zone, taking notes, trying to sketch this or that, adding a bit of insight every now and again as the rest of the group murmur back and forth, paying close attention while going over the window and tree branch, the diary near the jacuzzi in the bathroom and music box with a fine tooth comb. The only time she raises her head is when she hears that there are LOTS of goodies downstairs - Bacina has been busy. Whispering so low that only her little cub-panion can hear she retorts "Busy telling other people in the kitchen what to do I'll bet." When it comes to Bacina, this is one sleuth who is not a fan.

Now that they've gleaned as much information they think is possible it's obvious to everyone - they need to know more. They had already traded information on one item but even when they put their heads together, it wasn't enough. Taking a step back, her pencil tucked once more behind her ear, Laurie rubbed her forehead and mumbled to herself about that leaving a mark before addressing the others.

"Guys, we should stop banging our heads together and ask if someone is willing to share a clue with us. I'll ask around, it can't hurt, right? At least not as much as this head-banging-against-each-other thing does." After everyone agrees, she turns back to her notes and starting with the first team listed who has checked out the clues they got from the laptop computer on a desk in the sitting room, the Cosmic Sleuths. Clearing her throat she shyly approaches them, not knowing their group ping she asks each one individually if their group would be willing to sMail her the clue that goes with the laptop.

((OOC - RPing is sorta new to me and this! This trading business is something Im guessing at completely! Please forgive me if I get it wrong people I ping.

Ive listed the clue we traded for below, am I doing this right? The one thing I do know is we can only buy one clue per team, does this include the team we traded with? edits Do I list the ones we initially asked for too?

We're Webby's Watsons and I - I mean we are spending my .. er, our first 50 points in search of the clues that go with the laptop. We're not done spending, we don't know how it works yet so I voluenteered to give it a shot and see what happens. We have the Cell Phone clue from Team Sparrow (free clue) and the three listed that we requested to see.

Someone please ping me if this is the wrong way to pay for clues))

This is a fabulous way to buy clues!

((OOC But.. but.. , what if no one wants to play trade with me? insert fake sob here Something tells me they're not online and I have more clues to gather so is it alright to move on to the next clue I'm hunting? Until I get a response from them on the laptop I wont ask for it, but I'm also assuming if I don't hear from them for some reason close to the deadline I can buy it outright, right?

I've got some vanity items to attend to quick, then I'll check back to see how I should proceed with this. I think it could work and be a lot of fun but I didnt take time zones into consideration. I should have asked my team about it yesterday.))

how can we go about finding out how to access the clues we've originally chosen before buying the ones we need from others? Also, do the points that we use to buy clues from other teams get GIVEN to those other teams, or do they just disappear? (Think along the lines of buying something from a player*s shop and buying from an NPC shop. Player shop purchases get your sP, the NPC purchases make your sP disappear)

Also, seeing as no one chose the dress as a clue, how could we go about getting that one?

who ever submited clues should have recieved smailed answers right !:)

I don't think you understood lol! I'm talking about buying clues and how we're supposed to figure our own clues out.

We have 4 clues, three of which we can't really do anything with at the moment. How do we figure our own clues out and how does the buying process for getting the clues from the other teams work? Do we give the team we ask for clues from our points and they give us their clues? Do the points that we use to buy the clues from other teams just disappear after we ask a team for a clue (and what that clue contains)?

Also, seeing as no one chose the dress as a clue, how could we go about getting that one?

Determined to figure out a way to avoid any more skull-smacking-skull contact no matter how much she loves her teammates, Laurie continues comparing what clues Webbys Watsons have to offer, which ones they still need and who on the list of Nutsy's gumshoes might have what she's looking for she almost didn't notice Hope toddling up to her, note in hand.

YES! We got one! ..Ghostbusters echoed inside her head she bit down harder on the tip of her pencil, this was not the time nor place for yelling that loud. A smile that stretched ear to ear while quickly replying with a huge thank you to the clue wrangler from Nightowls would do just fine.

((OOC We're Webby's Watsons and we have spent 50 extra points so far on the area rug on which Caudata fell clue. We're not done spending, we don't know how it works yet so I voluenteered to give it a shot and see what happens.

We now have the Cell Phone clue from Team Sparrow (free clue), the area rug on which Caudata fell clue from Nightowls and the three clues that we requested to see originally - a small diary near the Jacuzzi in the bathroom, a music box on the table in the sitting room and the open window and the tree where Tamias saw Caudata's body.))

As the rest of the team scrambles to examine the rug closer, Laurie returns to her notes once more in hopes to have the same luck with buying the clue that comes from the teddy bear in a ballerina costume on the bed as she did with the rug.

"I think we should see if these Meddlesome Madames might want some more meddling to do, Hope, but I also need to get over there and write down whatever they find examining the rug. Not that I mind having a closer look myself." Chattering away as she scribbles a quick note to an old friend, Laurie hardly bothers to pause for breath, which is ironic in a way, what with all talk of flunitrazepam floating around. "There, that should do it. Go find and give this to MsB for me would you? Yes, Trues friend, you remember, the one who gave you too much candy last Morostide." A quick in-between the ears scratch first, then off they go, Hope in search of MsB and Laurie straight to the rug Caudata fell on with a ping and a prayer and from there, its fingers crossed that she's around.

- would you and your team sell me the clue that came with the teddy bear please?

((OOC We're Webby's Watsons and we are trying to buy another clue. This time it's the teddy bear. If successful this will make our total spent 100 extra points so far. We're not done spending, we don't know how it works yet so I voluenteered to give it a shot and see what happens and I am keeping track of every successful deal I make.

We are asking for the clue that goes with the teddy bear. We now have the Cell Phone clue from Team Sparrow (free clue), the area rug on which Caudata fell from Nightowls and the three clues that we requested to see originally, the diary found near the jacuzzy, the music box and the window and tree.))

I would smail rox about the clue if you still need it :] I dont want to fill this thread with our barters. Not sure what she has already acquired haha

I would love to hon :D

Do I sMail it to you?

((OOC Oh, ok, I'll do that, thanks.

I gotta be straight with y'all, getting other traders to interact on the OOC thread was what I voluenteered to try and get started to see how it works out for everyone. GreenRowan knows that I can usually get people talking and interacting but on an RP thread it's a lot harder then it looks!

I think that interaction between groups will work out fine but it may be easier for everyone if they go thru comments or sMail then on the OOC thread.))

edits

Hope nods emphatically at MsB and toddles off to find Laurie to let her know another successful trade has been made. And that she should refresh the page to see what Wolf is asking just in case she can help with that ()

((OOC Yes please, luv and if you would like to buy a clue from us, the list will follow once I update the points we've spent and which ones we have. We've already traded our free clue so all we can do is buy from others and offer to let them buy from us. You're only allowed 1 trade exchange per team which makes things really interesting for notorious list makers like myself. twitch

We're Webby's Watsons and we have spent 100 extra points so far on clues. We're not done spending, I have asked to buy the laptop clue as well.

We now have the Cell Phone clue from Team Sparrow (free clue), the area rug on which Caudata fell clue from Nightowls, the teddy bear in a ballerina costume on the bed from Meddlesome Madames and the three clues that we requested to see originally - a small diary near the Jacuzzi in the bathroom, a music box on the table in the sitting room and the open window and the tree where Tamias saw Caudata's body.

For someone who's not use to RPing, this has been fun Rowan, I gotta give ya that one))
