You are an undertaker. You are a partner at the funeral home responsble for James's wake. (Fickett & Prynne) You love to scare children (they're so disrespectful, disobedient and unappreciative.) You move with an insectlike manner sometimes carry small, creepy puppets (to scare kids with). To adults you are grim but sympathetic. In the 1950's you had a problem with a heroin addiction and since have been hallucinating or having delusions of the figure of death. You converse withDeath on a regular basis, adding to your haunting qualities. Sylvia Talis is a friend and associate. She works as a fashion consultant for dead people, in other words she makes sure what they wear after they've die is stylish and fitting for the deceased.
Snide Aside:
By the way, this wake is occuring at two times in history simultaneously.
Half the guests are from Jame~ earlier days, both college friends and
original cast members from the then fledgling Lamb Family Theate Troupe.
They all believe James died in 1964.
The othe half have witnessed
James's shady sunset as an actor and a back-stabbing businessman.
For them the year is 2016. The acting troupe is still around, but not too successful.
James continued to finance the family troupe out of his own pocket out of pride.
He made money in dirty deals in the business world.
He never worked on Bartnet but was at least as sneaky.
Don't confuse the guests with the time split, it'l only muddle an already muddled situation.
We just thought you aught to know.
James is being cryogenically stored with hopes of future recessitation.
