At work at the moment, doing a mega file transfer and then an upgrade to one of the servers that had to be done at a point in time when I could reboot the machine. Since I already had to work through a contingency test with a major financial institution, it's not as if being at the office was unexpected today. I'm just hoping the transfer finishes relatively quickly, like within the next hour or so.

Pbbbbt.

In the meantime I am dealing with a couple of fairly disquieting plotbunnies for Ray, one of which requires me to find out how you go about suing somebody in federal court (nothing to do with Foliage Census), one of which involves the Russian Consulate, and one of which would involve Detective Chen, my current longest-running NPC in Ray's universe. There is also the stuff I'm planning involving Antiques Roadshow and a trip to Massachusetts. The question is: how do I sort all of these out time-wise? Because I can do them all, I just need to get them in order- and possibly rustle up some assistance from other people, ooc and ic.

... look, if you were stuck here on a Saturday, you'd be contemplating 'how would the Russian government go about asking for help with the undead' too.

You file a suit in your local federal district court. It's not hard to do; just takes a couple of forms and a little money. If you need to know more, let me know; I've spent years in law firms. XD

Okay, cool. I'm looking to bring about some temporary trouble for Ray and the guys, based loosely off of what happened when an animal rights group tried to block the transfer of Michael the gorilla from.... I think it was the Chicago zoo, but it might have been Cleveland... a few years ago on the grounds that he had established a 'monogamous relationship' with the female gorilla in that zoo. (Which is a bit odd given that gorillas aren't monogamous.) Sooner or later, I figure someone is going to attempt to sue the Ghostbusters on behalf of somebody dead.

Even if it ends up with the judge throwing the case out of court, I figure it's relatively realistic to see someone at least try. Just because you deal with the supernatural every day doesn't mean people are gonna be anything other than their attention-grabbing selves.

Are you familiar with Wolff and Byrd, Councilors of the Macbre? Because they deal with similar stuff all the time. I'm not sure if they've had people suing Ghostbusters yet, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they had.

I've heard of the comic, but I've never read any. Hm.

Now I'm not going to be able to watch an op of Antique Roadshow (my mom likes it, what can I say), without imagining someone bringing a copy of the Necrinomicon or the like.

"Its been in my family for ages..."

... I am now dead of laughing too hard.

*rattles chains noisily*

Actually, I was thinking more of weird jewelry. That someone's grandmother had received from this nice young man who was courting her, even though the tiara clearly wasn't proportioned to fit a human head.

*snicker*

I'm still imagining that happening to the poor crew of the Antiques Roadshow.
