Sunday Check in - 2022

[Margo]

I'm i Rhode Island making a movie about two dead girls. Hope I don't run into the yellowjackets that killed them!

[Margo]

I'm in Cinderellas mausoleum with one of the descendants of the step-sisters. Turns out the story we all know may not be quite accurate!

[Kristie, Moderator]

I am all over the place! Let's see...

I am currently a seventeen year old in Romania where I have been coerced into spying for the government.

In a couple of hours I will be headed to Linden, New Jersey where three girls working the night shift were brutally murdered and there was one survivor. Fifteen years ago there was a similar murder in that same town where four people were killed on New Year's Eve Y2K while working the night shift at a Blockbuster and there was also one survivor.

Tonight I will be headed to New York City where I am going to become J.P. Morgan's personal librarian. I will need to be careful that no one finds out that I am African American passing as white.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm in rural England where some city folk have retired to our community. They ended up with an Efflapour near their house. We're not sure what that is, perhaps some kind of septic tank? Whatever! The whole thing stinks, in my opinion.

[Sharon]

Hmmm…I am in Wales trying to figure out if the foot that was found in a winter lake belongs to a missing person.

I am also in the midst of Anasazi ruins…or am I? At any rate, my archaeological expedition is at great risk and so are our lives.

[Janice, Moderator]

I have left Caldwell and the sexy band of brothers behind for good. I'm not sure I'll end up next. Will have to get out a map here in the next little while.

With my other book, I'm still in the English countryside near the Wales border where bodies are popping up everywhere. It's electrifying. And now, one of my parishioners thinks she's seen an angel. Or maybe it's an alien. One never knows around here.

[Margo]

I'm in Ancient Rome where the river Tiber has just burst its banks. Me and my mum are trying to stay safe but I've been ordered by an angry and very pregnant woman to look after to her twins who, it appears, are the Emperors sons.

I'm also in Manhattan where I live with my grandparents. I've been thown out of school and they're sending me to prison (boarding school) in Montreal.

[Jackie]

I'm in New York City, bouncing around from Brooklyn to The Plaza Hotel and the World Trade Center.

[Margo]

I'm in London investigating a series of killings. I love my work but my partner is an obnoxious B and the entire squad thinks my boss wants to sleep with me - definitely he doesn't and the feeling is mutual!

[Sharon]

I am in North Carolina taking up residence in a dilapidated lighthouse while mourning by husband and sun.

I am also trying to figure out what happen to my sister years ago at summer camp.

[Lisette]

I'm in Italy staying at a beautiful villa where we are doing rehearsals for a play. I'm falling in love with the owner of the villa, but have some doubts since it looks like he already has got a girlfriend. To make it more complicated I think that the villa is haunted by a ghost of a woman who claimes she was murdered years ago.

[Cherie]

I am in a small town on the Oregon Coast. I am in a shop in town that advertises the Worlds Best Ice Cream.

[Jackie]

I'm still in New York at the twin towers.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I am in London 1887. I just got here. My travel plans were canceled and my partner is showing me some self-defense.

I forget where else I am, but I believe I'm in the future (or could just be an alternate reality, not really sure) where gene splicing is a reality (but illegal since 'The Great Starvation') and I am working for the Gene Protective Agency (GPA). My partner and I received a tip about an illegal lab and while checking it out I was exposed to some gene altering stuff that is changing me and enhancing my abilities.

[Cherie]

I was in London in 1887 too, Kristie. My friend and I were trying to keep a low profile. Someone was trying to kidnap me.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Ah, yes, Cherie. Your friend and my partner are one and the same. :)

[Margo]

I'm in New Zealand delivering piglets and panning for gold.

[Jayme, Moderator]

I am in an unnamed country in South America writing a letter to someone I love on my 100th birthday.

[Sharon]

I just left a very spooky town in NY state and a witch that was sometimes less scary than the people.

I am now in a dilapidated castle in Austria/Germany/Belgium…even the characters aren’t sure. There is a reunion of cousins that I think might really go wrong.

[Cherie]

I am in Borrego Springs, California.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I am in Shelton, Connecticut. I am a 45 year old woman who is pretty bored with her life and feeling under-appreciated.

[Margo]

I'm an Australian post-doc working in the U.S., looking for a wife but non of the candidates I've seen so far make the grade.

[Sharon]

I just left Alaska and a vampire massacre.

I am now in London. It’s 1998, and I am investigating a murder.

[Janice, Moderator]

Oh! It's Sunday.

I'm describing what it's like to be a sociopath.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I was a true crime blogger in Oregon with an opportunity to interview someone who was acquitted of committing a couple of murders back in the 70s.

Then, I was also all over the place with Odin, Thor, and Loki.

[Janice, Moderator]

Oh! It's Sunday!

I'm currently in Edinburgh trying to find out who is strangling people.

I'm also in an ancient fantasy Japan where my half human/half kitsune (fox) should come in handy as I deliver a scroll to another monastery.

[Sharon]

I am in New York trying to find out who killed members on my task force. It’s hot.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm quite excited to get back to San Diego where I've been genetically matched as a soulmate with a man that I find incredibly attractive, but frustrating. Though, now that I'm getting to know him, maybe he isn't really the self-centered, closed-off person I initially thought he was.

I'm hoping to also get back to Sundial this evening where I've taken my daughter to see if I can help her with her strange bone collecting and imaginary friends.

[Vicki]

I am in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. I am getting lonely, could there be anyone else like me in such a big city

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm in historic New York and trying to break out of reporting for the society pages. I find myself embroiled in a murder case and they're letting me write the news about it.

I'm going back to the future in a future New York later today. I don't know what case is going to be my focus.

[Margo]

I'm in a fantasy land. I'm a little near Lake Silence, in a place called the Jumble. It's the day after Trickster night and we're cleaning up the mess - so to speak!

[christene_littlelibrary]

Im in Sunshine falls today having a month long vacation with sissy while working on as an agent/editor of a book. A little later i'll be travelling all around Japan to look for someone who can take care of my pet Nana.

[Jayme, Moderator]

I'm in Reno, Nevada hanging out for six weeks at a dude ranch waiting for my divorce.

[Esther]

My ears are fighting

My eyes in in a fantasy world and are investigating a series of strange murder while trying to stay alive.

[Sharon]

I am learning about the minds of serial killers.

I am also in the Arctic trying to stop a madman from burning the Earth.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm finally heading back to Sundial with my daughter.

[Lisette]

My ears are in Portland trying to get away from my boyfriend.

My eyes are at school and are forced by a teacher into trying out for a robotics club

[Margo]

I've been kidnapped by 2 men. They're driving me to Colorado to see a doctor but I'm not sick. I'm only 7 but I'm very smart.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm back in Sundial (again!). Maybe I'll make some progress finally.

I'm also in New York where my wife is missing / I've run away from my husband with my children.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm on Oahu, and I'm allergic to water. My uncle is going to teach me a Hawaiian martial arts.

I'm also in an ancient fantasy China, where I'm now queen because someone murdered my father. I've engaged a soothsayer, which is illegal and punishable by death,

[Sharon]

I am in Wyoming and worried about losing my bakery site to high costs because of all the mega millionaires that have flooded into my town. There might be a murder…

[Margo]

I've never heard of anyone being allergic to water before! Are you human?

[Kira]

I'm in France and learning to fence!

I am also in North Carolina covering a trial and recording my podcast!

[Jayme, Moderator]

I'm on a small island on the Eastern Shore of Virginia not accepting the death of my husband.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Margo wrote: "I've never heard of anyone being allergic to water before! Are you human?"

I don't know the answer to your question, but it is a real thing. "There is a very rare condition known as aquagenic urticaria (AU) where skin contact with water causes itchy, red hives or swelling." I can't even imagine having to deal with this condition, never mind living on an island with it!

[Lilisa]

I’m living in the forest in skins in Estonia and speak a wonderful language Snakish - hissss - to communicate with all sorts of creatures. Sadly, it’s a dying language that humans have dismissed.

[Esther]

My eyes are running after a body carrying the mind of a murdered. Now if he could just stop shooting at me....

My ears are in a desolated street of 19th century Paris, trying to stay alive while thugs are attacking me.

not a quiet sunday, all things considered...

Yes, he's human - I think... not far enough in the story to know for sure. He talks about an aunt being allergic to it as well, and cleaning with coconut oil. But how do you brush your teeth, and don't you need to drink water for good health? And what about the body being made up of water? I can't wrap my head around this and it distracts me from the story.

Wow! That's interesting. Thanks Kristie. He reports that the water burns him and he gets blisters where he was exposed to it.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I had (and still have) the same questions as you do, Janice! I don't know how someone could survive with that allergy. My two biggest concerns: how do you drink for hydration and how do you bathe??
