Uh....hi Edgar you're looking very bloody tonight

[restless-historian]

Taliesin Jaffe once said: "Well, first thing I'm going to do is set up the dining table since I clearly haven't had time to do that.

Push away the couches, push the table back where it should be.

Bring it out, set it up.

I put a very nice tablecloth on it.

I set it up for two, wine glasses, everything somebody needs, candelabras.

I'm going to go cook.

I sit down, see what's in the cabinets.

I see what I have saved.

Cook a chicken, some potatoes, asparagus.

It's a nice, a small strawberry custard pie for dessert, a little bit of cold pasta on the side.

It's just beautiful plates.

I make these two plates and I put them down at the table.

I've put on a record.

It's the music maker that's close enough to the kitchen.

I have a little pile of them and they sort of move and flip from one to the next.

I'm almost at the bottom of this particular pile.

I set the whole thing up, dish out everything, and I sit at one end and I listen to the record and the record ends.

Then I'm going to sit up and flip the record over and I'm going to pick at my food while the second side of the record plays. While the second side of the record plays.

Then I'm going to take a second and walk over to the mail slot in the front door, pick up everything that's collected, go through one day, two days', three days' worth of mail, three days' worth of mail.

Three days. Three days.

I'm going to put three days' worth of mail in the dresser and I'm going to take, I have a wonderful little calendar that's made of brass and you give it a little click and it goes one day at a time and moves forward.

And I'm going to take a second to remember what day it is and I just raise my glass to the empty plate of food that's getting cold." and I think it's beautiful

[homoerotically] "you just wanna take me shopping."

Magnificent on Liam’s part.

The genre shift from the pulpy adventure-horror of the sarcophagus and the near shipwreck before the break…

And then the psychological small town horror on this island.

I am on the edge of my fucking seat!

My very personal predictions for the Crimson Mirror circle:

DM Taliesin Jaffe 🖤

💀 Lou Wilson (Explorer or Criminal)

🧿 Erika Ishii (Medium or Doctor)

🍷 Aimee Carrero (Magician or Journalist)

🩸Christian Navarro (Journalist or Detective)

🪞Jasmine Bhullar (Occultist or Professor)

I'm hoping for a female majority this time around! I'm also betting towards "recent" guests to return as it happened to the other circles. I also noticed, it might be a coincidence, we've had Desi players in all three circles so far, so I'm hoping for Jasmine, specifically bc of her presence in the Doom one-shot with Anjali and work with horror. As for classes, I'm just tired of Soldier, I really want somebody to take Explorer. Travis took both Detective and Journalist but I want players to tackle them individually and lean more into the backgrounds. I think Erika would play a sick Medium and Jasmine would serve with Occultist.

Other player possibilities:

Rekha Shankar (Been in Desiquest with both Luis and Anjali, great player)

Omar Najam (Been around recently as well, a very likely possibility)

Alex Ward (Someone from VTM that would fit like a glove in the game)

Utkarsh Ambudkar (Speaks for itself, down to cause chaos)

Becca Scott (Also VTM, never played in CR I think, and I like her xD)

Abubakar Salim (He did show up in 4SD and has been in project Taliesin been in b4, probable)

(Somebody on Reddit suggested a Taliesin run game with the other DMs as players and as much as I love my dream circle, I would explode with excitement if that was ever the case.)

[ace-of-d1am0nds]
