The Bear and Barnacle

For this event, you'll be answering your doorbell.

Yup, that's it.

No, really. Let us explain.

Margate has been invaded. The invaders are a deluge of men and women of the worst sort: Those who wake you from your well-earned naps, interrupt your dinners, make it difficult for you to leave the house, and seem to revel in coitus interruptus. Yes, the door-to-door folk. One of the lost tribes of the ancient world, restless spirits, they wander the globe in an endless wearisome quest for inconvenient moments to knock.

Your post will be your character answering the door. We encourage interesting situations for the answering. One of fifteen types of ring-ers, pulled from a hat, will respond to the post. Insanity will ensue.

Thread-crashing is encouraged if you see someone else having a doorperson you'd love to see your character interact with, but your ring-er will be randomly selected. Those who have no fixed abode may be accosted on the street or in the Pub, but others are asked to use their homes. Some of you (yes, Rodolphus, yes, Joker, we're looking at you) may have interesting ideas as to the best way to dispose of an inconvenient cookie-selling Girl Scout (do you have those in Britain?). Go ahead. No one will stop you.

The tag is "ding-dong." Have fun.
