BTW, if I’m allowed to ask this, does anyone else have the police station in their chapter? I’m planning to do something completely out of left field and ridiculously stupid, but it only really works if the police station isn’t mentioned again.
I don’t think you understand how NiaD works. Continuity isn’t the goal. A damn good chapter is the goal. Blow that bastard up or have it picked through a wormhole to the delta quadrant or have it eaten by defective ear-worms. As someone recently mumbled to me… you are God (in your own chapter).
Oh, I just meant that I didn’t want to completely contradict what happened elsewhere? But I think I’ll be fine. I’ve written it in a way that it wouldn’t need to be mentioned again.
I can’t remember the worst thing I’ve done. But I know I made the hero the bad guy. And I had a certain former +3 reprobate appear as a wise counselor to a man involved with the French mafia AND HE GAVE GOOD ADVICE!
How do I copy a cell from the brief without that stupid cell boarder showing up with I paste it? I can’t even copy a portion of the cell without it turning into a table!
Yo englanders… idiot cousin here… Are your popo (you all call them constables) like ours where they forget the sensitive ears of bystanders or does your lot actually have manners?
I mean I would LOVE to have the first words in my chapter be “bloody hell! which one of you rejects of your old mans bollocks took a shite and set it on fire?” but I feel that might be … beyond your sensibilities.
Coroner’s van! I did find that some places just use SUVs. So I went that route.
I tried an internet search but used the wrong words and ended up with some downer stuff.
A uniformed officer is likely to be polite as long as you’re not a person of interest.
A detective (plain clothes investigator) is more likely to be whatever they need to be to get the outcome, as long as they’re not bringing the force into disrepute.
I am of course basing all this on reading the “DI Frost” books by RD Wingfield and not detailed personal knowledge.
