Finals week is upon me... Might I still have a spot reserved? I've been glancing through the IC every now and then, but I'll be doing in-depth reading this weekend,

Should we wait until Eru and BrassOtter have finished the intro IC before posting the next round of posts?

Good (; I think I could contribute much until more posts show. But I'm on vacation as you know so I don't mind waiting.

I was wondering if you and Duncan were already working on a post? I just want to know where people are. I think I have a grasp on everybody else so far.

Except maybe @Danko and @Fat Boy Kyle. Though I imagine you boys are waiting for something. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

@The New Yorker I'm preparing something for the next round of posts. Though I will wait until everyone has finished their intro IC's first.

I've got like 3/4 of a post done, but I just can't get it quite right! My brain is still frazzled from all the coursework I've just submitted haha

I got a bit carried away and posted before reading the second stage of posts. I've caught Stefano up with the first night on the boat but I don't know how much further I need to get him.

First night is still going.

Also, I should mention something important to Emilio's character. While it is true that his father was an Egyptian, Emilio does not resemble an African by any means. His face has some exotic features, like his lips perhaps, but he generally has a strong European make-up. His relatively darker toned skin is tanned, yes, but I don't think anyone would confuse him as a "black man". Whatever it is that means.

A question about currency - I did some brief research on 17th Century Portuguese economics but I could not turn up any outright evidence on what the currency was. Is the native coinage Euros or something else?

Is there anyone else that still has not posted an intro? And I plan to work on a separate post for Artemisia as well instead of a collab.
