Post is up! I hope everyone enjoys reading it, and I hope everyone is okay with their groups! I've assigned the groups this way because I think the interaction elements here can be interesting, mixing up some characters who haven't had that much time together for some... interesting results >:D I also sort of arranged things the way I did so that every group has a "tracker" of sorts (Dalia, Marcus, Syed, Trixie, Lucien if he's using a summon) and along with the Aliquam staff, I thought that made for sensible groups. Also, 5 groups for the 5 thieves, which means we can have the thieves impact on those groups when they pop up later. For the sake of interaction, it might also be better to have players with a thief effect a group they've not got a character in for [i]player[/i] interaction sakes? I don't know, we'll think about that more when it becomes time for them to make a move. 

Next round, I'm going to timeskip things on a little bit to the night, and where the mission properly begins, unless anyone wants us to devote a bit more time to the current scene. For the next round, I think it's valid for people to react/discuss the mission and their team members, as well as ask any questions they might be interested in, to which Dalia and Tobias will be able to answer. I'd also like to ask nobody to post with their thief character yet, my segment with the Masked Phantom was for foreshadowing and buildup >:D

I hope everyone has a great day! :D
