Sunday check-in: Where are you? 2021
I'm in Buckskeep (fantasy world) hoping noone will recognize me.I'm also in Coventry, England trying to stay out of the way of invading aliens.
I’m in 1888 New York and I think Thomas Edison just tried to kill me.I’m also in 1993 California helping my friend try to find a missing girl.
I'm in 1835 central Pennsylvania. The judge of my town supposedly committed suicide but I'm having trouble to believe it.
I am in present day Wyoming being pursued by relentless killers who are brothers and a raging forest fire.
I'm in Sweden and was held hostage with others by a would-be bank robber. He has let us all go.
I will be with Margo and Peggy shortly - back to Buckkeep. Yay!I'm also about to write a paper on a murder case. I suspect it will be revealing. Maybe even dangerous? I don't know. I shall find out.
I just got drafted into an Earth Defense League and apparently video games are training for fighting real life aliens.
I'm staying at a motel on the beach in Florida. I was in New York, but my sister was murdered and I fled with her 4 year old daughter. We are now hiding out from her father and the authorities.
It is 1739 and my father has just left me in charge of our family's three plantations in South Carolina.
I'm in the early 1950s in Taiwan. My dad has been released from a reeducation camp (for how not to be communist, as opposed to those on the mainland that teach you how to be one) and is having some issues reintegrating back into Taiwanese society. Understandably says Rus, but I as a character can't understand it.
I am alternating between being a pioneer in the North Carolina/Tennessee Mountains in the late 1700s and in the current times as a famous folksinger.As a man in the past, I am on my second family as I left the first one in New Jersey when I moved to the Blue Ridge. I am old now and remembering my youth: Scotland, at sea, as a young lawyer and upstanding citizen and finally as a pioneer in the Smokies.
As a young folksinger, I am hoping to be rescued from the plane crash I have survived deep in the mountains. I am searching for the very old ballad that I can barely remember that came from Scotland centuries ago.
I am in ancient Israel hanging with all the ladies.
I'm just outside of Buckkeep Castle trying to rescue my daughter from the Chalcedeans, a ruthless race of people who'd stop at nothing. It's just as well they think she's a boy.I'm also escaped to Cairo from the bloody overthrow of the city I was living in. It appears that magic has been lost in the world.
I’m with Janice in Cairo and also in 1925 Chicago at a Blues Bar.
I am back in Paris. I am manning a barricade. It is a good thing I like croissants. I have been here forever. I think the entire revolution took less time than it is taken for me to find out what happens to Cossette, I also thought there would be more singing
My eyes are in 1802 London looking trying to figure out who murdered my father and why.My ears are in a monastery in Canada. I just got here but I’m guessing someone is about to end up dead.
I'm in Vietnam. It's just after the war and there is pressure on the people to adopt communism. Soon, I'll be in Moscow where I'll meet a gentleman in his hotel. I don't think it's going to turn out the way that sounds.
Upon my father's death, I inherited a rambling Victorian estate in Vermont. I had lived here as a child and we suddenly left with only the clothes on our backs. Even though both my mother and father had told me never to go back to this house, of course, I had to do that. Strange things are already beginning to occur.
I'm at Mount Polbearne, after a wake.
I am a rogue FBI agent currently following leads in Virginia. Somehow all of this has something to do with a deal mule at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
My ears have been listening to the Governor of Port Royal, Jamaica, rail about the lack of farmers. He is currently trying to convince me why piracy is illegal but privateering isn’t. I have tuned him out.My eyes are with Lacey Yeager. She is inside the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
She is standing in front of John Singleton Copley’s 1778 painting Watson and the Shark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_...
I am in the early 1900s. We just had to leave our home in Kentucky and moved to the Midwest. My dad is a drunk and my mom is mysteriously ill so I am pretty much raising my younger siblings.
I have gone nowhere for the last week and a half. I'm looking forward to traveling again tomorrow night. I plan to head back to the motel on the beach in Treasure Island, Florida where I am hiding out with my niece.
A dead? ecoterrorist left me some taxidermied animals and now bad people are after me but I am not sure why any of this happening
I'm back in Barcelona and I love this place so much!
I am in the UP of Michigan. On my 25th reunion of my high school private academy, someone has done me in. I hope they find out who!
It's Sunday? LOL!I'm roaming around a hotel in Moscow where I'm under house arrest. So boring.
I just left New York City where someone was killing cops. It got pretty tense for a while.
Oh geez, it's Sunday again! lol I wrapped things up in Florida where I had been hiding out with my niece and then I headed to California where I'm about to die in a horrible car accident.
I don't know where I'm at and I'm not sure what's going on. A couple of children have gone missing.I'm also in Shrewsbury where a young woman was found dead under the ice. Was it the woman we've been looking for?
I have just left my life and family in Ethiopia and have arrived in New York. My twin brother and are are twins and have gone separate ways.I am also in the Appalachian mountains where my father has married me off to an old man that scares me. I have blue skin…
Whoops
I am whining and cooking in Berlin but mostly whining.

I just left Marsyas Island where I met the most amazing children.I'm also interviewing for a job in my ex's rival real estate company where I hope to grind him under my very sharp stiletto blue high heels.
I also just left Marsyas Island and I am better for my stay there.I am also in Bolivia, a Mennonite, and I am taking minutes of extraordinary and cowardly attacks on female members of the community.
Ahh. I remember Marsyas Island. I fell in love with the most amazing man there.Right now I'm in Pyrrhia. More specifically in the Summer Palace of the Seawings. I've just learned that I'm a princess, I have a sister, and my mom is a little nutty (and slightly homicidal).
Lol, Janice! Crush that ex!
I'm in a hospital in Texas trying to recover from an accident. I have a crush on my sexy Scottish physical therapist. I'm also somewhere in the UK at 16 (1984) where my somewhat idyllic life is about to take a turn for the worse and 37 years later (2021) where my life is pretty stale and my marriage seems to have lost its spark. May be time to make some changes?
I'm in Boston, 1662. I've been accused of witch.
I am in Asgaard - oh Loki - what a naughty god you are!
I'm a stowaway in a bus luggage compartment. I think I'm somewhere in Italy. This could be tricky.
I know this is late but I am in a land without time. It makes things very confusing. It is weird to finish things before you start
Oh, that would be strange, Renee!
That is weird, Renee. I could be done with some things I haven't started yet, though.
I'm in Moldavia. We've just crossed the border from Ukraine and we were met by gunfire and bombing. It's terrifying.I'm also in Malaysia where I'm a dance hall girl. I just came across a finger in a vial. How could this be?
My ears are in Ancient Rome. I’m being paraded down the street so everyone can stare at me. I miss Egypt.My eyes are in Malibu…I think. So far I’ve just been looking at the cover but I do intend to crack it open soon.

I am also in Croydon where I have been called in to work at the local precinct because a newborn baby has been found in a church. It is very cold outside as it is the middle of December.
