Patrick
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely
And if you'd took to me like a
Gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd a-jumped from my trees
And I'd a-danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well
A good man to know.
Clayton's something-or-other. Oh, and Oxford, apparently. Poor soul.
30 years ago, something happened. We should talk about it.
Vicenzo.
Still my favorite cousin.
You can't choose your family. Trust me.
Another Addington - He's the nephew of Margaret and Thomas, via their younger brother Robert. His older sister Susan and older brother Michael were victims of Billy the Ghoul.
Erstwhile Townie - Although he was born and raised in Gray Harbor, he left town at the age of eighteen, and only returned for the most important family functions between 1999 and 2019.
Technically A Lawyer - Just not in Washington State. So fat lot of good it does him.
Addington House - He's setting up as the curator of the family museum. Because nepotism. If you like creepy old houses filled with probably haunted shit owned by weird old families with more money than good sense? Come by for a tour. 😃
Tall at 6'2" with dark-blonde hair and gray eyes, Patrick carries himself with easy self-possession, a man comfortable in his own skin and certain of his place in the world. His build is trim, but he's starting to edge into the territory where he probably has to keep a close eye on his physique, but it's obvious that he does something to maintain a decent build. His hair is kept to a short, tidy trim, just starting to gray at the temples now, lending to an easy guess that he's probably in his late thirties. Gray eyes are occasionally close enough to get away with calling them blue, under exactly the right lighting conditions, but they're otherwise not a striking feature, slightly narrow in the way of a person that probably wears reading glasses. He usually wears a short beard, liberally peppered with silver now, kept to a fashionable stubble.

2020-02-11 - Beneath a Sullen Winter Moon (Open Vignette)
Around two in the morning 11th of February, something changed in Gray Harbor. What was your character's first realization of this shift? Or when did they first experiment with their abilities and find something was different?%r%r**Open vignette.**

2020-01-01 - Old Year's Eve
It's a vignette scene! But there's a tweeest. %r%rThis scene is going to be a collection of character's most memorable New Year's Eve memories, one per character. This is going to be fodder for these vignettes to be cut up, spliced and re-used for GMed Dream scenes in the future for other characters. So if you are writing up a vignette for this scene please be aware that it will possibly be used and mangled into something new for future use. I will re-check with people before using their stories for scenes though. %r%rAnd I will leave this up for a few days for people.

Patrick
2019-11-28 - Thankful for...
**Open vignette scene.** Feel free to share a snippet of your character's Turkey Day. Could be anything - something that happens/ed off-camera, a character you didn't get a chance to play, a misty water-colored memory, whatever's clever. Note that this isn't a "live" scene in the traditional sense; just a collection of vignettes around a common theme. I'll be leaving it open until Friday the 16th at around 4:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM Eastern.
