Nobody wants to cross paths with their old high school flames, at least that's what I've heard. I think there's an exception to that rule and this doesn't apply to people who might've been heartbroken over the split between their "first loves". So, the story starts more than twenty years after the relationship, and considering that the two love birds in question were adolescents, they've changed dramatically in their appearance so much so that neither one could be expected to recognize the other. Nevertheless, by happenstance, the two cross paths.

The heartbroken of the two thinks that he recognizes her, yet he doesn't acknowledge nor seek affirmation that she is her by simply asking "do I know you from somewhere". It is really moments after this encounter that the protagonist conflict is revealed. The backstory, however, must convey sexual frustration for this character because it was a result of his unfaithfulness to his gf that causes the break-up way back when. Even though he's been in and out of very few relationships since then, because nobody seems to meet his expectations, he won't even try to pursue anything more meaningful than casual sex.

On the other hand, the catalyst of his lost love's menopausal behavior upon learning that her high school sweetheart is still hung over her, gives credence to the idea that their encounter at the beginning of the movie was not coincidental. How do I convey a backstory for the protagonist as someone who's transgression transformed him to vow never to fall out of love with the girl whom he's out to prove was not a figment of his imagination after seeing her double twenty+ years later?

Dear GMs/DMs/Storytellers,

If you're about to run a session of your game, do not forget your dice, stat sheets, or anything else you might need.

It truly is a little detail, but one of those things that can be fairly important.

Anyway, I have Googled my brains out, as well as dragging a few books down off the shelves, and been directed to a book at Amazon that might actually be helpful, only it won't be available until January... And basically have gotten nowhere.

So, my question is: Would blackout restrictions have still been in effect in New York City, December 1944? What I have found is that these restrictions continued in London until 1945, but I'm wondering if they might have been lifted earlier for the East Coast of the United States. My story works either way, if they were still in blackout mode or not; it's just a matter of hitting the right atmosphere.

Thanks!

My story is set in New York City, in the very near future, but the abduction took place in California (specifically the Inland Empire) in the mid-nineties, between 1995 and 1997 (haven't settled on a year yet).

My character Olivia was a victim of parental kidnapping when she was eleven. She hasn't had any contact with her father since. Now, I can find lots of information on international child abductions and on parental abductions post-divorce, but Olivia's parents were still married at the time (ie, her mother had custody) and she was taken across state lines, but remained within the US. I know that California has a law against parental child abductions, but I can't find out when it was enacted or whether it covers cases where the parents were still married.

So. My gut feeling is that what Olivia's mother did is very, very illegal. However, I don't know how illegal it is, or when it became illegal (when her mother kept her away from her father past a certain number of days?). Any information would be helpful.

Searches tried: "parental child abduction," "interstate child abduction," "child abduction facts," "child abduction California," and various combinations of the phrases "parental", "interstate" and "abduction."

Before the TV season started, I fugged Katerina Graham a couple times and noted that I hoped The Vampire Diaries would be a hit, because then we'd see more of her around town, and that spells OMG and WHOA.

Dear Vampire-Queen-Goddess-Immortal-Admin of the RPG,

Your way of showing you like members of the RP is charming, but I'd rather not be vamp-raped. Your way of showing you hate someone's character for no reason is even more charming. OOC grudges? Oh, please. The best RPer that's left of the group breaks character constantly to talk about modern movies and books inside of a Medieval RP world. You've successfully driven everyone else away by nurturing these people.

No thanks,

Me.

P.S.: Your character sure had a penchant for getting kidnapped and made to be a damsel in distress. Are your amazing BS powers only there when you don't feel like losing a fight?

This sort of behavior is not very like Madonna.

May I be so bold as to string together several exclamation marks, as a way of vehemently expressing my unease? All right then: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
