Hey everybody, just wanted to make sure you guys were all aware that tomorrow's the day Forge, Molly, and me will be working on replacing some out of date wiring and upgrading some of the pieces of equipment for the mansion's power stuff. Don't worry, me not being an electrical engineer of any kind, I'll be running the wires where Forge and Molly tell me. They'll be doing the actual upgrades.

This means basically that nobody should notice anything actually going on. We've already checked the secure, underground power lines for all the important and/or potentially deadly/very dangerous equipment. They'll be fine. We'll also make sure the backup generators are up and running before we shut off the mains. There might be a flicker as the changeover happens, but nothing extreme.

We'll let you know when everything's back up and running, but you might notice the same sort of flicker as the mains come back online.

So just in case I should find my nicest Victorian dress and drippy candle to practice my best impression of a wailing widow or something?

This place is old enough, I bet you could find a fainting couch in storage or something.

If I do I'm gonna ask Ange to paint me draped across it.

Kate Winslet style?

[xp_darcy]

You know it. But without the giant heart-shaped tacky necklace.

[xp_cypher]

With or without merkin? ;-)

[xp_darcy]

You'll just have to find me that fainting couch so you can see, yes? ;)

Don't we already have an Irish screamer somewhere around here?

[xp_darcy]

Are you saying the mansion can't handle two wailing women, bro?

[xp_hawkeye]

I mean, one screaming lady's enough for anybody's eardrums, frfr.

[xp_darcy]

Oh no, I'm going full spooky haunting wail, not glass breaking.

[xp_hawkeye]

Why, though? None of your lovers are dead and I don't think any of them would be down with you wailing at them.

It's for the aesthetic, although obviously it would be more effective with rain and overlooking the ocean.
