I feel like I need to draw map now. At least of the Zelta compound. What does everyone else think of a simple map?

A map would be excellent, seeing as our characters would be staring at the one in front of them, taking this super secret place in.

A map definitely helps, especially if the complex is as big as you say it is.

xD? As big as I say it is? I built it! It's not like it was all a hologram and the guys are all evil and lying to everyone :P Yeah, map it is. Be prepared for my usual map-making skills! (P.S. It looks like a s**t bomb hit.) The complex is very complex. The hardest part about making a map though... is not forgetting something. Then having to move tings around to make it fit in afterwards.

We shall judge you, harshly!

Ahh, gotcha. I feel so much better now. Sadly, I'm playing a game, and can't write it yet. Toodles! *Skips out the door*

I'm going to be posting while marathoning Cowboy Bebop today. So if it takes an abnormal amount of time for me to post, that's the reason why.

Are you guys waiting on me for the map? EDIT: I won't finish it for a long while unless you say otherwise. I have our area we're in done so far... but not the rest. Alright, I came up with two different versions, but I wasn't sure which one to share with you guys... so I'll share them both! Choose whichever one you might prefer.

Er, so I may have had an unexpected leave for these past three days, but nothing short of a miracle has happened. I won't really say anything about it, though it was a miracle to me at the least. I'll be posting later today, and hopefully you can forgive me for just seeming to disappear. Also, that map helps a lot, thanks.

Miracle? You mean the snow that is piled outside your house so you're trapped indoors now? Gotcha. Woot! :D! By the way, does anyone have any ideas for more locations? I'm probably going to have a few more training areas, possibly one big holodeck version. There are also going to be other exits for our characters. Oh, and Mr. Boss's office. The rooms are to be 'discovered' by our characters. So once you pick your room, feel free to pick what they look like after you enter it.

Nah, I'm not at liberty to discuss my little miracle, but I can post now due to it. I feel like a medical bay area would be necessary. Or a break room, for Kurano to smoke or something. I'll probably have him become gradually more ornery and rude the longer he is without one or when something stressful's going on. That's the case with almost anyone who smokes from my knowledge.

Well okay then. Oh yeah, a medical bay would probably be needed. A break room would be a good idea too. I think I'll have it set out of the way aaalllll the way in the back near the boss's office, so Kurano would always have to debate with himself whether he wants to go there and risk having a conversation with the boss. lol. Well, not that that's bad right now... but, later his personality might be a little strong for Kurano's taste... without sayin too much. ;) Oh, and probably a 'gear up' room, though I kind of figured the changing rooms were that. But, perhaps a lab might also be good, for Mr. Labcoat to hang out and have all his stuff hanging up.

Updated the map! Now new and improved! Can you tell where our first mission is going to be? I bet you can figure out which destination is our first one Ragna. Come on, prove you deserve this cookie! *Waves cookie around* Oh, and just pretend that says "Shibuya Station" and "Shibuya City" for now. lol. My mistake. (I forgot the "City" part) EDIT: Ragna, are you okay? You said you could post... but... I haven't heard back from you. Is there something wrong?

I'd honestly be somewhat more concerned about Unraveller. All's fine though, nothing's happened. Like I said, I have to do a crazy amount of studying to even come close to scoring a 36 on the ACTs. I'm hoping to at least get a 32 in each category, and from what I've been told, the best way to do this is with 50 hours of study allotted into all of the subjects. So I'm looking at 200 hours of studying before the middle of March. If I disappear for a little bit, that will be the reason why. If I can crunch in an hour or two of free time, I'll make a post.

Phew, that's good. But now I'm worried about Unraveller. D:

Alright, I'm in a rush, so don't get mad if this post seems shoddily made. It's possible that Unraveller has either unofficially left, or he's just really busy like me. There's also the possibility that he thinks forum roleplaying sucks and just decided to leave us. There was a point where I thought that as well. I'll post over on the other forums only if I have the time to do that later. I'll also post on Code Lyoko if there's time for that.

Dooby dooby, da-bop ba-da, dooby dooby. Why are there only three of us in this RP. Just like the four of us on HBRP? *Sigh* I think four-five active RPers might be a reasonable amount of people. Or six-eight semi-active... but then they're not as fun. We should look around and try to get one or two more people to join this. We could easily jump him into the story line as a 'victim' to the monster attacks. Oh, what? You don't understand what I meant by that? Uh... pretend it's not a spoiler. ;)

That would mean that we'd need to advance the plot to a mission or something. Without Unraveller that might be a bit hard. So we should either wait for a response from Unraveller, or just try and get some more people right now. You don't have names or bios for any of the other people in the facility right? If so, we could just have them be one of those characters already inside the compound. If we don't move the plot past that too quickly. Major problem is we can't exactly advertise the RP, as that's against the rules. Except for in signatures I'm sure, where it's okay. I'm only on for a teeny bit today. I can get caught up, but can't necessarily post yet. Tommorrow is an early out day, so I'll have a bit of time then.

Well, I have a bit of plot planned out already for scenarios similar to that. As for them already being someone in the compound, that will work. I have a few groups in the compound picked out, but there are also purposefully undesigned characters as well. There could be several people already in the compound that haven't been assigned groups yet, or might not 'fit in' with the rest of their group, so they decide it's better to find other groups to work with. I need to start writing out the groups, characters, and bios for the characters I have so I can keep track of them, and reference them properly. I have several other 4D hero groups picked out that our characters will run into, but writing them somewhere will help make it easier for me to reference. Speaking of characters, I still don't have Mr. Boss and the labcoat guy 100% written out. I have their backgrounds, thoughts, ideals, future-development, all that jazz, picked out... but I don't have any ideas for their names, or heritage. I was originally thinking the lab-coat guy was Japanese... but you pointed out he seemed different, so I thought Scottish... but I'm not sure. As for the boss-guy, he's supposed to be kind of heavy-set, without being considered unhealthily overweight, as well as slightly tall (But not to match Kristof, that's for sure.) Any ideas? I was thinking something like... for Mr. Bossman to be "Humphrey Branton", perhaps? I'm not sure. I really want to get names down for these guys so we don't have to say "Mr. Labcoat" and "Mr. Boss" all the time. Give some variety! Eh?

Alright, so that's a possibility then. The problem is that if we don't get anyone else interested in this, all of that planning pretty much goes to waste. For the boss, I'm feeling a sort of imposing ethnicity. Mongolians tend to look very harsh, but the boss feels kind as well. Maybe Austrian, or a Scandinavian country. Japanese people are actually jerks, not so much to foreigners, but people of their own ethnicity. They'll spit on each other, curse at each other, even telling each other to kill themselves. Japan doesn't have a high suicide rate because "oh spooky ghost stories," it's mostly because of stress and that stress leads to the hating of others to relieve that stress. The lab-coat guy feels like he could be an extremely stressed-out and hard-working Japanese citizen, that tends to push others around because of whatever. Maybe he has a low amount of patience, or just generally doesn't like other people. He fits a few underlying stereotypes of the Japanese Middle Class. For him, I'd say that Fumio ("literary/scholarly child.") Fukui ("fortunate") works. Though, I understand if you have a problem with the name being an alliteration. It'd probably be hard to remember which one is the first and last name, when they both start with the same letter, and sound similar.
