suicide???

Mrs. Taylor #1- Paranoid Schizophrenia-she committed sucide after she and Edward separated. All Deak remembers of his mother is her rantings....

"YOUR FATHER WAS A MOSTER TO ME....IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOUR FATHER LEFT....I LOVED HIM, YOU DESTOYED IT ALL...THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS....IF HE LOVED US HE WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH US....HE WAS THE ONLY MAN I EVER LOVED..."

His Grandparents not willing to admit their Daughter was ill basicly turned her into a saint in the young Deaks mind.


Deaks very last memory of his "mom"

"I CAN'T LIVE WITH OUT HIM...IT'S ALL HIS FAULT"

Words that have haunted him.

Edward would not have known the full extent of Mrs T #1 sickness because it came on slowly. And the parents blamed Edward for there daughters problem (an easy answer for them) so they help keep the truth away from him. They insist on Keeping Deak in the beginning to help them cope with their loss.
Edward agrees reluctantly....


This anywhere near what you're looking for???

OH WOW! Even better than I had thought...

Although... are we sticking to the idea that Edward left her because he couldn't handle her ranting?

I want him to appear a bit more respectable... perhaps the grandparent's were overly doting of their daughter but strong willed to the point of overbearing, and fairly well off compared to Edward at the time. He is only aware that his wife needs expensive medical treatment which he certainly couldn't afford. They are the one's that convinced Edward it was best to leave her and the boy in their care, as they had money etc... despite his need morally to stand by her? They threatened to take him to court for custody of the child and Edward could see that this would really destroy his wife and also wouldn't have been good for Deak so he conceeds to let the grandparent's have their way.

He truly thinks Deak has no ill will towards him as a father, unaware of his past wife's crazed words to Deak. He is aware that Deak is reserved and warey of him, but he puts this down to having not seen him for so many years. He fully believes the boy will come around eventually, what with the good home he has created with Marie and Maisy.

But I love the crazy suicide stuff... there are definitely some good past memory stuff in the making there.

Also... brilliant that Edward never knows specifics about her illness.

Faith... you're a Goddess! [grins]

Mrs T #1

At the beginning of her illness she may not have been ranting. She may have just become very distant and could have appeared sad. She may have become uncommunitive but at the same time she may have clung to her child and seen him as the only none threatening person in her world. She may have never ranted in front of Edward becauce the paranoia centered around him. He may have seen her as simply a very unhappy person and he left her because he thought he was the problem...this was 1942 not a lot of understanding of mental illness.

It would put a dent in my subplot for Deak to come from Money...I need him to have a reason for coming after the Sinclair fortune.

( I edited the last post too Money you may want to re-read it)


so....how's that?

Uh....jehanox....we've kinda been talkin' about you behind your back here...LOL...maybe you might want a say in all this

let me know what you think!

suicide???

What if Deak WITNESSED his Mother's suicde????

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Scene saver...

If Sims doesn't post by this evening taking Claire home, I will adjust my last post and rewrite calling for a taxi.

Agreed?

 

[Yoc]

Faith and Moneytalks

I must say that you both got some active imagination.

I have got some ideas which I will post next time.

 

[Moneytalks]

Faith & Jehanox

Faith

RE-read your last post as suggested... also love the idea of Edward leaving because he thinks he's the problem.

Now... as for Deak wanting to go after the money...

What if... just before she dies she does the ultimate damage to him as a child and tells him he wasn't even hers?

After all her ranting... he'd probably think she was just saying crazy stuff... but it's literarily the last thing she says to him. That she never could love him because he wasn't even hers.

So now... he's with his dad... but he doesn't know whether to believe his mother... then he starts noticing... that he never looked like her... and he doesn't necessarily look like Edward either.

He'll have to find out along the way somehow about who he really is... that'll give him plenty of reason to go after the Sinclair fortune... that and the fact that he already seems to be having severe money problems...

What do you guys think?

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Yoo hoo! TAXI!!!

Toni phoned for a cab..... Up to you, Jack and Claire. As you wish.

 

[MtnAngelWV]

Okay! I am smart enough to know this thread is fiction. Given the recent events, however, I am unable to continue knowing that the German will be meeting his maker! Can we possibly find either a kinder, gentler way to dispose of this character or for him to meet his fate at his own hands? If this is unacceptable I will have to bow out graciously! I apologize deeply. I hope you wll understand, however, my personal reasons for not wanting any violence at this time! Thank you all!!

 

[ariosto]

To be honest folks I'm in despair tonight.
Sojourner is gone taking two parts with him and Angel threatens to leave...Where is Colonel Thor for that matter?

Nels Bronson will need to be replaced, Sims was an afterthought.

Maybe Tornado will allow Weiler to bite a cyanide pill for the Fatherland...who knows.

 

[Tornado]

All right, I'll pop the pill. I never liked the SOB anyway.

 

[SexyChele]

Angel, have you considered that it may take the next couple of days to work this to a conclusion? Maybe things might not be so raw by then? I mean, the weekend is coming, and things slow a bit.

I can understand your hesitancy. I think we all are trying to figure out some boundaries right now. Hope this all works out for the best.

 

[MtnAngelWV]

I think I was misunderstood! I didn't want the German killed right away! Tornado and I had talked about me personally killing him and I agreed! That was until all of the recent events!

Chele, the feelings I have right now I believe will never go away! And I am not sure that I want them to! Some of the sadness I want to go away but not the caring and comfort! I have always been a non-violent person and this has just intensified it!

 

[ariosto]

Tornado unless you really do find palying Weiler repugnant, I wish you would change the post. He is pivotal to todays actions. This will leave Captain B without a purpose as well.
We have lost Sojourner, I really don't think this thread can take a lot more skewing.
Your approach to the character was vital and dynamic I hate to see him disapear this way.

 

[Tornado]

Oberleutnant Hermann Weiler returns...

Back by popular demand, the Nazi everybody loves to hate, is back. I've changed the post. You are all giving me fits about this character. I just signed on to fix a bad patch in your thread. I am open to suggestions about what everyone would like to see happen with this character.

 

[captainb]

Well, he's doomed to come to a bad end. The question is, if not Tornado then who does him in? We should figure this out, to get our movements semi-coordinated.

Earl would love to, of course. I know others would too. They may have a better chance of it, with the MPs around. If it happens on the ship, that affects who does what to. Ari, Marvel, any ideas?

 

[SexyChele]

My lil ol' opinion be to keep him around for a while. I know that seems difficult, but I'll let bigger minds than mine figure that out.

Besides....who said he has to die? Can't he be outwitted by our trusted public servant - the Captain - and be taken captive again? I mean we all sorta figured he had to die, yet does he?

Jus' tryin' to think of alternatives here....

 

[MtnAngelWV]

I honestly didn't mean to cause any problems here! My suggestion was just that the violence be kept to a minimum! I also realize this is based on war. I only thought that due to the recent events I would prefer a kinder, gentler ending to the German! I am a very non-violent person and it is quite distressing to me.

Let's try this......the German kills Sophie and someone else kills him! I really want to leave Lit!! This is not open for discussion at this time! Frankly, I am sick and tired of getting crapped on all the time! Whether it be publicly or by private messages! When I make suggestions I do try to do it with tact and consideration of others! I apologize if my comments have bothered others!

By the way, tell me if I am wrong here....I posted my change of heart here because I felt as though I owed to everyone to explain my reasons! Was it wrong to do so? I was trying to be considerate!

 

[SexyChele]

Angel, I don't think that it was necessarily you who caused a "ruckus". Everyone is a bit on edge because of the events of this week, and it's spilling over into here. If you feel like you are being targeted, then I'm sorry and hope you don't think I'm among them.

Expressing your hesitancy here on the OOC was appropriate, and I think the resulting gathering of minds is simply a way of trying to talk things out and coming up with a solution that will accomodate everyone and still provide an interesting storyline.

If you truly mean to leave Lit, well, that is your choice and only you can make it. However, I think if we really want to avoid any blatant violence, having the German Nazi taken captive - and no one getting killed - is the most peaceful resolution.

But, then, that's just my opinion...

 

[Tornado]

I was asked by someone to take over this part when another writer dropped out. I never wanted to play a Nazi, I just wanted to help out. I'm sorry, but I will not continue playing this Nazi unless he does meet his maker. I've had this character act cruel, do horrible things, and make himself dispicable all in anticipation of this end. I have made my intention clear from my first post to my last, giving people plenty of time to object to it before the character became developed.

 

[MtnAngelWV]

I understand what you are saying Tornado! But maybe some allowances for the recent events in real life would be appropriate here! That is all I was asking. I am quite sure that I am the only person who is uncomfortable with the violence but I was asking for a way to resolve the matter without the bloodshed. I apologize once again and I hope that the scene is played out the way the majority wishes it to be!!

For the most part my experiences here have been memorable and pleasant! I was starting to think that I was bad luck in that most of my partners in other threads were dropping like flies! I didn't ever think I was targeted! But then again maybe I was right before when I tried to leave Lit. I must just rub others the wrong way....lol

Please dispose of Sophie for me! I wish you all the best of luck! God bless all and I hope that peace reigns supreme!!

 

[ariosto]

Hows this!

Geeze!...I take a ride on the Chatanooga choo choo and come back to all this!

Tornado you have ben long suffering through this. I am the one that asked you aboard and appreciate the novel slant you are giving the chracter.

Angel I love you deeply. You were one of my first contacts at LIT and I hate like hell to see you go.

Hows this... Tornado shoots Sophie or renders her comatose in some way. Then moves on through the city and takes another hostage...we have several vunerable femmes at the moment...Bette, Maggie, and Maisy's Mom come to mind...he then completes his plan and is gunned down at the last minute by Talbrut(Or somebody)

In th meantime Sophie is in Fair Harbor General in a coma(Classic soap device) At a later date we can reprise the part if Angel wants it or offer it to a new player...

Hows that,

King Soloman

our Nazi

I had asked Ari for a beach front place. My intent was to make it an artist studio for Maggie that was not general knowlege. A possible "love nest" further into the story. How about if I move Maggie to that location. It would be the idea place for the nazi to take another hostage. The sheriff , aware of Maggies little get away, would be coming to this location to notify Maggie of her husbands murder. This would also do away with the MPs. If the sheriff is looking for a love interest we could work that into the story too...Maggie needs a man in her life...

I really haven't thought this through and am not sure what impact it would have on the other subplots...

It's just an idea, if anyones interested just let me know where you need me to be and I'm there for you....

A side note: I want...no I need for these threads to go on. Don't let those bastards take this away from us. Each of us react in different ways. There's no right or wrong. There just is. No matter who you are, no matter where you live after this past few day you will be changed. In some way your life will have been shattered. Pick up the pieces. Pull yourself together. Be stronger than you were before. DO NOT LET THEM WIN! Not here, not anywhere. For some it will happen quickly. For some it will take time.

 

[ariosto]

HF 42...is not going to disappear Faith. We have a war to win don't we?

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Sounds good...

Faith, you have had some scathingly brilliant ideas.

Tornado, go for Maggie's beach house. Your character has been wonderful so far.

captainb.. Looks like the plot thickens for you, yes?

Most of all... HAVE FUN!!!
