Um, hi.

I ran into a guy who told me about this place and suggested I check it out. In fact, he wouldn't leave me alone until I did.

(Something about making sure someone here was okay. I dunno. He could have got someone else to check for him.)

Anyway, point is, I've been reading posts off and on for a bit now, and I just wanted to say hello. This seems like a pretty strange place, but my life can be pretty strange sometimes, too, so here I am.

Welcome to the boards, Noctum.

Do you know who it was he wanted to make sure was okay?

@Cybermancer The person in question was named Darcy.

@Doctor Boggs Thanks. It's from a poem called 'Antigonish'.

Interesting.

Can you tell us a little something about the person who wanted to make sure that Darcy was okay?

@Cybermancer Not much to tell, I'm afraid. He was a pushy older guy, red hair, Irish accent.

Yes?

You're going to have to narrow that one down, I'm afraid.

@Nemesis I can't narrow it down too much. He never told me his name, just insisted that I look this place up so he could check on Darcy. Like I said, older guy, red hair going a bit grey, broad-shouldered, grizzled. Your typical Irishman, really.

Hmmm. Could be a lot of people.

I guess you can tell 'em I'm alright. But if you could get their name, that would be appreciated.

Anything else they wanted me to know?

@Nemesis Not so far. If he comes around again, I'll let you know.

Thanks,

I appreciate it.

Also, welcome to the boards, Noctum.

Beware of asshats.

@Nemesis Thanks, and I will.

My job is to help people with strange lives.
Just what sort of strange are you talking about?
And do you want me to help at all?
My door is open to all who want to enter.

Yeah, it's a couple people it could be. I'm just waiting to see what else Noctum has to say.

@Brutal, @Hannah: Thanks for the welcome. And I'll try not to Hannah. Not my idea of a good time. =)

@skeptic What sort of help do you offer? And strange as in I seem to see things others don't.

@Nemesis No new info for you yet, I'm afraid. He hasn't been back.

I've helped numerous people in this situation. Most of them quite successfully.
But there's no silver bullet. It doesn't always work. But it usually does.
The solution lies within. I just help them find it.

@skeptic What would I have to do?

@Nemesis He came back again, wanted me to pass a message on to you. Don't ask me what he's talking about, because if you don't know, I sure don't, because he didn't explain, just refused to go away until I agreed to tell you what he said. Just two words: Avenge me.

Well, that does narrow down the list of suspects significantly.

I'm going to PM you a couple of questions to ask the next time you see him. I'd appreciate it if you PMed me the responses.

This better not be some sort of joke.

Noctum,

I suggest you read up on Nemesis' posts and threads.

You may have inadvertantly contributed to a new spree of murders.

We'd talk about your experiences. Face to face is best because it builds rapport.
I'm located in Chicago. If that's not feasible let me know your location, I probably know somebody near you willing to talk to you about your experiences.
