I wondered if the problem of how we all find out about the death and the travel issue could be solved if all of us went to the Homecoming Picnic in Kentucky, only to be informed by JP upon our arrival that Ig just died and will not be able to attend. The group of us could decide to make the trip to the wake/funeral, for various reasons, and travel there together. I know that would take away the mystery of trying to figure out who is from the Eye at the wake - I'm not sure we want to do that. But it would give all of our characters much more time together to develop a "real life" relationship during the journey to wherever Ig has died. Perhaps we could go by train and spend time in the bar car...
Really, whatever you think will work...
I don't mind being the "sensible one" or whomever...

ReplyDeletePam, how about this? We get to the gate and there is a note about Ignat. Somehow it is not enough of a reason to cancel the picnic, but it might explain how we are A) together and B) ignorant of who else will be at the funeral/wake. Or we get a message at the Eye or we get a message at our hotel?
Well, not WE, since I am already dead, but y'all.
I thought we weren't going to do the picnic/party/gala/ball/whatever . . . now I'm confused :(
ReplyDeleteMike - I didn't mean to confuse you. It was just a thought about how we could bring everyone together. You mentioned people don't have a good reason to travel to the funeral of someone who died that they didn't know. So, what if we traveled thinking we were going to a picnic but when we got there a group of us decided to go pay our respects instead of party...all of us for different reasons? A note on the gate to the Peterman Estate - how interesting.
