Since there would only be two of us, I would suggest to already start writing the next posts and Plume can then add some more dialogue in post 1 and I will then write some final paragraphs about how we sit at the table and start talking about visiting the priest and post that.

So I guess we could expand the next three posts as visiting the priest and having the first clues/revelations. I don´t think we need more information for this, we could write what we want and we work with that from the next week on.

Ok! Would we leave spots to fill in dialogue for the next three posts, seeing as we'll all be at the priest's house?

I finished the post so far.

@Elinor Do you want to add something? Louis was asking a question to Caroline.

@Plume I wrote that you came to the table in the last paragraphs so that you don´t have to write in this post anything.

Now we are going to the priest!

With a final approval, I'll post it then.

@MailicedeNamedy I've got to run, but I added something really quick.

I think it looks good to post!

Yep, I'd say you could go ahead and post it!

So I think the next steps are the remaining three having a post and leaving spots for dialogue. I also think we should solidify what we want the priest to reveal. I know we're probably doing Grant's parents, but should we do his address as well? They still need to find that "last word."

I also think that maybe two posts could be at the priest's, and then one could be like a little recap at some cafe or restaurant, where they make plans for what they're going to do? (That would also help us with what to write for next week, too).

So now we have to decide who's writing what. I'd be happy to do the next post; I'd just have to know what we want the priest to reveal. I'll be sure to leave dialogue spots as well.

Posted!

I would suggest that the next two posts be mostly dialogue-free so that everyone can write what they want. The main focus is now on the priest and I think that if we manage to explain quite a lot through a monologue by him, we are well off.

I also think that we can be quite free. We have a little bit of a background from Grant, but we can be free there, and only when writing the poster add several smaller details (maybe even where the priest contradicts himself?).

I could make a small description for a small pub for the last post so that we only have to insert a little bit in the dialogues. (Please keep in mind, when inserting dialogues, that I can't insert any more dialogues because of the time zone - if it's not until tomorrow to post - due to my job and the beginning of the new week).

Gotcha!! I can start drafting the next post.

Posted!! I set it up so that the next post would be the priest's monologue with maybe a few interjections from the group/thoughts of whoever's POV it's from next. I think it'd be fine to reveal the parents/where they're staying—maybe at Grant's place?—so that it would set the characters up to question them in the next round of posts. Looking forward to seeing it continued!

Both posts look great! I can close out the week if you're okay to post next, @looseleaf, since I'll have more time after tomorrow afternoon but if I need to add any dialogue I can.

I can post sometime tonight! Should the Priest reveal that Grant's name isn't really Grant but something Greek and then the parents/sister can go into detail about the estrangement? Or should the Priest tell where the family is staying and the family can explain everything?

I like the idea of the priest revealing that his name is Greek, and then getting more information from his family.

That would be a great idea. The priest could also reveal, that Greek Grant comes from an Eastern Orthodox family and switched to Catholicism.

*gentle poke* @looseleaf @Elinor

Sorry! I got super caught up in schoolwork. I have the majority of the post in the WFP, all I need to add is the Priest being like "the parents are at his house." I can do that sometime in the next couple of hours.

I’m so sorry for the delay. I’ve been super busy. I’ll post mine within the next hour. Do you have one drafted, @Elinor?
