Joshua MacKay

Investigator, intellectual, and all around great guy.

Enjoys the finer things in life, a good mystery, taking copious notes, and telling people about his Kukri collection.

Probably saved your life. More than once.

Died and was magically put in another body by Doc Fulton.

## Rumors of His Death are Greatly Exaggerated (but not by much)

3/17/2019 - Aeolous - G'day- \*Sigh\* You realise you can just type into it, right? Anyway. Joshua's dead. Yes. Dead dead. Not dead-and-then-come-back-to-life dead. Now since Raslen was the one who told me all this, I may be a bit spotty on certain things.  Joshua and Doc somehow found the Red Gem in question. No idea how they did that. Anyway. I believe then they went to the Smurf zone (dressed up as rabbits, obviously) and eventually got to some bridge that they had to cross. An old man asked each of them 3 questions about the pocket shadow that we are in and if you fail to answer one, you get thrown off and die (Raslen found that out the hard way (not dead dead, the other dead)). The questions were like "what's your favourite colour, what is the flower shop in Burlington called, etc" and they were different for each individual.
Then for whatever reason Joshua decided to try and do whatever ritual was described in the Red Pendent book which involved creating some sort of new Pattern. He failed and died.
I also believe they attempted to contact King Random on several occasions but each time he completely ignored them and was just seen writing. No idea what's up with that.
Raslen if I missed anything during your adventure, obviously fill them in.

3/17/2019 - Raslen Rad - G'day- Ah, there we are, thanks Freddy. Joshua has gone walkabout in the Pattern. He made a valiant attempt to walk his own pattern where the Gem of Judgement was being kept. Ghost wheel, perhaps? Doc can confirm that. We got there by sneaking into Gargamel's bedroom and using the book on the nightstand to get to the gem.  The Doc is probably still as cross as Frog in a sock so me and Freddy here thought we should at least let it be known and the Doc can help fill in some details as he sees fit. I didnt know him long, but I can say confidently that Joshua Mackay was a good man. Fair dinkum. He saved my life, probably more than once, in the short time I knew him. Loved and admired by the people of Kinleyville and other mysterious places. Feared by his enemies. Respected by his peers. I wish him luck in his walkabout. Now, Freddy, what button do I pu....

3/17/2019 - Raslen Rad - G'day- Since you asked, Freddy. My thoughts...You can't keep it secret for too long. Someone will inevitably let it slip in front of an elf or an ardvark or something, and then rumors will spread, rebellion will foment. Perhaps if we were to gather all the beast folk and just tell them what happened... Have a big celebration commemorating the life of Joshua and all, provide some tucker and closure for those that knew him. This would also provide an opportunity for one of the lads to rally the beastkins and keep things stable.

3/18/2019 - (unencrypted) So long and thanks for all the fish! - Unless it gets stabilized soon with a new P, yer reality is goin' away soon. Joshua was brave to try - gonna miss that dude. I'm going to find somewhere else to watch the light show! JS

3/19/2019 - Alex Kinley - G'day- \*Static\* “My heart is heavy, my sorrow deep. Joshua was a great man, we were companions for a very long time. I’m not a man of many words when it comes to departures, but I do promise this, Joshua is going to receive a wake like no other...” “As leader of Kinleyville, I proclaim a week of celebration in memory of our friend Joshua! Break out the best stuff! Crack open Esmeralda’s Grace! Start rolling the goblins incense! LET THE CELEBRATIONS BEGIN!!!!!” 🍀🍀🥃🥃🍀🍀🥃🥃 \*Static\*

3/21/2019 - Alex Kinley - He lives !!!! - \*Static\* “Excellent news!” “As leader of Kinleyville, I proclaim a week of celebration ~~in memory of~~ for the rebirth of our friend Joshua! Break out the best stuff! Crack open Esmeralda’s Grace! Start rolling the goblins incense! LET THE CELEBRATIONS BEGIN!!!!!” 🍀🍀🥃🥃🍀🍀🥃🥃\*Static\*

3/21/2019 - Tom Tom - He lives!!!! - Ok, here it goes as best as I can: So Doc seen a glow inside the Gem of judgement he did some really strange shit!! This is before me walking the pattern today, we’ll all of a sudden he came out with a ball of energy which by the way scared the shit out of a lot of people!! Well this ball of energy was the essence of Joshua McKay, from what was occurring we didn’t have to much time. The glow was fading and Honestly we could have probably lost Joshua for good all together. So we searched for a brave soul to be the host body of Joshua McKay!! It probably wasn’t the best of choices so i’ll Let you guys see for yourselves who his host body is!!! Let’s just say he was a Brave soul!!!!!

3/22/2019 - Joshua - He lives!!!! - Worse(?) I am now in Obed's body. I've lost many of my skills and abilities. It is like I am a new Dora. Some of Obed's abilities have replaced mine. I do however have all my memories.
In the scheme of things it's just a couple of years setback. As we do not age, hopefully it will not be too much of a hindrance.
