dude that's the life I wish I had

favorite historical period?

WWII, hands down.

Busy weekend, everyone?

Busy weekend, everyone?

I've got my next more or less written, but want to give Key a chance to get an initial post up.

After that posting order will be pretty irrelevant and will depend only on the narrative. Beauty of small groups right?

That's why I love small groups. That and it's much easier to focus on character and plot than just making sure everyone knows what's going on.

In the mean time, I'm always down to hash out plot details in the OOC.

Thoughts on Aaron's next moves?

The raid on the lab is going to happen pretty soon, and that's when our characters will have to actually pick a side instead of uneasily straddling the fence.

Mine is coming out tonight, I was going to post it yesterday but I had a bit of a shock halfway through writing it.

In the short term, I'm not really sure. I had been hoping someone would walk in on him at some point and wake him, and if not I can do something else with him. By 'soon,' do you mean within the next few posts? I had been under the idea that things would continue as normal for a while, the Reich's demands for the research team getting steadily darker and our characters having to deal with what they're becoming.

Oh no, I hope everything is okay!

We're going to hit the ground running, actually, meaning that our characters won't be living their cushy lives at the university very long.

After Klaus and Ros meet at the diner, an SS officer is going to come visit the Zauber team and question them on military applications of their research. Klaus is going to be pretty uncooperative. The raid will be very soon after that, as in the next day or next couple of days.

Klaus and Ros, at least, are going to defect and go into hiding.

It would actually be pretty interesting if Aaron was unsure about defecting initially and remained working for the Nazis at Humboldt.

Things are fine, the shock came in the form of a weeks-old notification. I'm like the Doctor from Voyager in my old group of friends, nobody ever tells me about important things until at least a week after the fact. Someone could be killed by aliens and I wouldn't know it for months.

Sounds like what I had in mind. I've got a lot of self-loathing and regret planned for poor Dr. Bachmeier.

I am also that person! I have no idea how people manage to know things when they happen. I've never gotten the hang of it.

Ahh, fantastic.

Where is he the night of the raid, and what does he make of the missing lab equipment afterwards?
Should Klaus approach him about defecting, how would he initially react/how bad would things have to get for him to change his mind?

I can imagine many heated discussions during secretive meetings in cafes while Klaus tries to get Aaron to go into hiding with him and Aaron struggles with his sense of duty and loyalty to his friend.

also, there's a possibility for an uneasy alliance with the TAP here. Key?

I find that unless I'm relentlessly stalking social media, my old friends could start having babies and I wouldn't have a clue.

Well here's my issue. I want him to stay, but I just can't find a reason that he would. Maybe he feels that on the inside he can make more of a difference? Or that he has a duty to his patients in case they start showing symptoms? I can't see him having any feelings of duty to his country when he has an idea of what it's doing to people. He took an oath, after all.

In terms of logistics, I'd say he's in the med lab the night of the raid, is irate about the lack of equipment, but would make the best of it. He would consider defecting, but for *insert reason*, would not, though Klaus should definitely approach him about it. Maybe it's out of fear? Maybe that would be a good one, fear of the consequences. He'd never be able to practice again, not in Germany at least, and not for years after if he were to leave. Not to mention he may fear for the well-being of himself and his family. I'm still trying to iron out the details, and if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.

As well, forgive my ignorance, I don't know what the TAP is. Google isn't helping, either.

A few weeks ago I got put into a group text about funeral arrangements for someone I used to go to school with before I had even heard that she passed so
it's all good guys
it's fine

glad to hear everything's okay, Key

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. That's all I really know how to say :/

It's an acronym for the Secret Polish Army (Which is Tajna Armia Polska in Polish). It was an underground resistance group in Poland during WWII, and one of its three founders was Witold Pilecki.

Oh. I also posted.

So that's nice.

Thank you. I saw that, I'm reading it now. Ever the sharp soldier, Józef. XD

Thank you, I appreciate that.

On a totally separate note I'm so excited for Ros and Józef to interact he's going to hate her so much at first it's gonna be great.

Hm, I've gotten a little further in surprisingly little time on Aaron's possible motivation. He's a closeted homosexual man with a hebrew first name in Nazi Germany, one would think he has enough suspicion and pressure on him as it is. I'd say he fears that defecting would be the final nail in his coffin and that they'd send him to a concentration camp? Regardless of whether or not his fears would be fixed in truth, I'd say that's enough to make a man want to save his own skin. Thoughts, anyone?
