I won't rush, but I feel pretty strongly that I want to get the whole group started. I'm enjoying your posts, but I can't wait too long just to accommodate you when this is just a side story with only two people involved, y'know? There will be room to work in collabs and flashbacks if you want even when the IC itself is started. And sometimes mystery is a powerful writing tool for character development, etc. So I'll start it in a day or so, and don't feel too broken up if you can't post your stuff up before that happens. There will be a way to work it in.

Edit: Also I'd like to ask whether folks would rather dive right into the plot right away, or have a warm up/intro round of posts before the actual story kicks in. I'm easy either way. You can use the extra post to do some stuff and make your way to the common area of home base, or if people prefer, I'll just launch right into a call and assume we've all just been sitting around waiting for contact.
