 		Rookery Tower is [?] starting back up
Got an email today:

Quote:

From: James Morgan <morganpara@gmail.com>
Date: Nov 8, 2005 7:23 AM
Subject: Morgan Paranormal open for investigations

Dear Everybody,

You may have noticed that over the past few weeks the Morgan
Paranormal site has been undergoing some tweaks and additions. Or you
may not have, as I always got the feeling that hit counters were
narcissistic, so I have no idea how many people have visited the page
in the last little while.

Anyway, the gist of this message is that the page has been updated, in
preparation for our grand reopening. I hope you like the new layout; I
tinkered with a few different ones before I finally settled on it.

There's a new essay 'What is the Occult?, and the member bios page is
worth a look, I think.

The 'case summary; for Rookery Tower has finally been sorted out. And,
if you look closely at the archived investigation page, I think you'll
find a present surprise. Wink

I have to say it feels good to be in control of my own website again.
Speaking of which, I lost my credit card recently, and had to order
another one, so I haven't been able to renew my paid membership yet,
so freewebs has gone back to being free and crappy instead of not so
free and no so crappy. You know the line that goes here.

The long and short of it is that over the past few months I've been
helping Layla as best I can at getting used to the idea of being a
sensitive. She's finally gotten the hang of it, and so we're ready to
start taking cases. Obviously we have no idea when we may have a case
on our hands, but we promise to keep you posted!

Layla, by the way, has lost her email in a tragic accident. (it
involves weasels and a blender, I swear to you) so you can now reach
her at laylaparaSPLATgmail.com

J. Morgan

The Rookery Tower Forum would be a good place to start.

 		There's a great summary of the story on http://www.freewebs.com/morganparanormal/archived.htm

So far I can't see any puzzles on the site, but I'm kinda glad. I sent an email back asking how everyone was doing and thanking for the email.

I can't wait Very Happy.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At about 3:30 CST, links.htm was updated with a link to Layla's Livejournal. The contents of the post are as follows:

I guess its been a while since my last update, huh? And, looking at my last entry, it seems like I sort of left everyone hanging. I didn't mean to do that, but I'd imagine most of you know how it ended anyway. If you don't, James has written up a pretty good summary here.

As for what we've been doing since then, we spent a little time at James' 'old pad' out in Ohio. That's where I started my training. The last few months have been one 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'-esque 80s training montage. Lets see, I now know how to douse, sense auras, I can feel when spirits are in the area (theoretically anyway) and I can do something that James calls 'touch-know'. That's where I hold an object or touch a person and I get a flash of their past.

It's… freaky. I'm lucky it doesn't happen all the time, because the first time it scared me a lot. I passed out, in fact. It was right after that we moved back to New York. I don't know if James mentioned it, but my parents came to see me in the hospital and they got really mad at him. 

So, now we have an apartment back in New York. We thought about moving back to Rookery Artemes Tower, but we didn't need all that room.

Fun fact of the day, I never knew. James is (almost) independently wealthy. His parents are rich anyway, they own a plastic company, or something, James was pretty vague, I'll be honest. So, anyway, he gets a couple of thousand dollars a month allowance for now, until his father dies. I was blown away when I found out.

He said he doesn't tell people because he doesn't like them to treat him like some member of the nobility. That's exactly how he put it. I. "I was treated like a king enough in the past. I just want to be me now."

So now we're just waiting for a case. Well, that's not precisely true. We did have a meeting with one of the other Paranormal investigators in the area. His name's Ralph, and he's a pretty nice guy. He looks kind of like Alfred Molina, actually. Mostly he doesn't do cases though, he runs a sort of paranormal theater and sells wands and dousing pendants. They're very pretty, James bought me one.

Also, James and I tramped around Mt. Hope Cemetery. We didn't get anything paranormal, probably because it was bright daylight, but I can scan the pictures if anyone is interested.

Oh! One last thing, I finally got an AIM address, laylasweetie. I'll be happy to chat if you catch me online, though I probably won't be on much. And I changed my lj layout, but you already knew that. Wink
