Hmmm...maybe if there haven't been many posts by the time I get back home I'll go that route. Might be fun if Sammy and Dante were still in touch somehow. Maybe. We shall see.

Hey, pals! Just another point I thought I'd point out: if anyone wants to bring in other characters at any point - whether they be another main one, a secondary/supporting character, or an NPC - feel free to. Main characters still require a full CS, but secondary/NPC's don't (unless they're important enough to need background info). Our characters are the surviving nine, but they'll need to recruit more over time.

Also, if anyone wants to add anything to the overall world - historical, geographical, anything culturally significant - that's welcome, too. It's a parallel universe from our own. WW2 still happened, but it didn't necessarily happen the way it did for us, if you catch my drift.

@Sigil, just finished reading your post. I love Dante already. I keep picturing this cranky, old man with ratty hair and a massive beard, probably a straw hat. I'm going to stick to the belief that Dante is a senile elderly man.

I also love the way he talks. He's going to be the unintentional comedic relief, isn't he? I'm calling it now.

@DJAtomika, if you don't feel like Alex & Shirley would join right away, they don't have to. Naturally, they're allowed to join The Seventh whenever. Go about things how you want to; make it more fun that way.

@Palindromatic
I am going to have to do a better job at describing his appearance next post, then. Granted, he hasn't tidied up unless he was handed an assignment for the past couple of years. But yes, right at this moment he's particularly unkempt. His speech... is symptomatic of his presently sideways mental bent. As he re-acclimates to making personal connections, it'll get better. Or spectacularly worse, depending.

So far as comic relief; I have ideas on how he's going to exploit his powers. Just waiting for the right set of circumstances to line up. Almost can't wait. :D

I can probably finish up my post tomorrow. Homework has once more drowned me. I'm so ready for finals to be over.

Are you in year 12 as well. coz if so i know the feels

I will be working with palindromatic on a post. It has been delayed slightly since I was moving into my new apartment the last few days. Sorry for the delay

Will be working on a post. My muse has left me recently.

No matter how well and precisely you describe him, he'll always look like the grandpa from Rugrats to me. I kid, I kid.

The way you said that - "he's going to exploit his powers" - makes me think he'll be some twisted, Deadpool-esque guy who mutilates himself for humor.

I approve.

@YoshiSkittlez, good luck with finals! You'll do well. I believe in you, champ.

Post whenever you can, there's no rush. School should come first, disgustingly enough. You can always do what I do and pretend school and work are just "life suggestions". Like, you don't have to do those things. You're just very firmly suggested to go to school and work to support yourself. No bigge, though. All just minor details.

@DJAtomika, if you need help with anything, let me know. I'll do my best to help jumpstart some creativity and inspiration.

Well I'm just not sure how to set the scene for the Mackeys.

@Palindromatic
Ok, exploit is a bad word for it. Hmm... "Utilize in a creative fashion". Yes, that will work nicely.

People keep telling me that this guy is reminiscent of Deadpool. Never read any of the comics, maybe I should start. Might give me some ideas. On the other hand, I don't want to rip the guy off. Eh. Guess we'll see.

I'm thinking what I might do, since I'm not a huge fan of collaborative posts, is have Sammy and Dante still be sorta kinda in touch. She'll get the message mentioned in Sigil's post and maybe consider visiting him? I don't know. It's kind of a weak thread but I also don't want to hold things up more than I already am. I'm going to try to get something up by the end of next week.

Alright, I've put up the CS for The Poet. She's an important character that'll come into play later on. If I didn't put up her CS now, I would've taken too long and she'd end up being something entirely different. Is how I do.

"Rip off" is such a harsh team. Just say you're "artistically borrowing" things. Caring is sharing, and it's in the name of art. Who can say no to that?

But nah, he's not enough like Deadpool for it to seem unoriginal. You're still good.

Don't worry about holding us up; you've got time. Even if we start to progress a bit, we can always bring Samantha in later on if need be. So take your time, figure out an idea that works. If you need help, let me know.

@Palindromatic
So, The Poet is a heavily connected manipulator of espionage badassery. It would seem extremely likely that she and Captain Stabby would be well acquainted with each other, as this is also his forte.

Also, it's been a while since he's blown a hole in the side of a prison. Maybe something to discuss. Knowing Pennsylvania, it may actually improve the landscape.

"Captain Stabby and The Poet" sounds like an indie band name. I'm in.

I didn't realize they were fairly alike. They'd have made a great duo in the past. Naturally, I now must PM you sometime soon about the shenanigans those two may have gotten into. I don't even think their personalities would mesh well together, but somehow that just makes it a lot more fun.

That's the plan! Break into Courtright, get The Poet, and get out. Of course, breaking into a max. security prison housing mostly former Cultist members and other notoriously evil psychogeneratives who want to kill The Seventh Division has to go wrong. All in good time, m'lad/lass.

Nope. 3rd year of college o.o

Anyway, after not sleeping for like the last week, I'm finally caught up with all my homework assignments and will thusly pass out for perhaps an entire day or two for the recovery period. After which time I will then be available to get up that intro for ya :)

@Palindromatic

Excellent idea. Breaking into Courtright (or securing her release through other methods) might be an excellent way to unwittingly get the Seventh together. Or at least in the same room long enough for it to come up in casual conversation.

Though looking at her resume of the above mentioned espionage badassery, and the history of the Divisions infiltrating Courtright, I would first try to question whether she even wants out. Dante might be able to give her some outside help, if she's playing an angle. But yeah, let's PM histories. Contradictory personalities shouldn't be too big of an issue, as long as they consider each other professional colleagues. Well, until the assignment's over.

And it's m'lad, though I haven't been called that since RenFair.

Everyone's got their posts up

I haven't even gotten to work on mine. ;A:

You aren't alone, DJ. :)

Hmm... Perhaps I should have clarified that the series of messages put out that seem to say "I'm listening" would be more accurately translated into "If you want to talk, I'm listening". The way @McHaggis has it, Dante is some kind of creepy stalker type, listening in on unsuspecting former associates.

Ordinarily, he'd be absolutely correct; it's otherwise a good assumption.
