Ok. My third and final CS is done. There is Jon and Harris in the CDC group and Fuad in the Walker group.
That means I can focus on you miserable louts now.
AnriuSB - I did not yet see it, but I'll be checking that, PMs and char stuff shortly.
MST - Don't worry about the oversight.
.....just don't let it happen again. Anyway, would you want to meet before the confrontation with Anima's chars or after? Let me know, I'm open on this.
Fox - let me know. I kind of enjoyed the dialogue in the second one, but the first teaser was also a lot of fun.
The third one will be...fun.
Anima - Damn right.
One interesting, very important thing I want to stress to people is the dynamic between Jon and Harris (and maybe everyone else). Some of you know this from the last RP, and since Jon hasn't changed much, you do not need to be told really. But those new to Jon, I'll say a few things. He has a very secret and unique past. According to his profile, he works with the CIA, which is correct. He's not a field or counter-intel agent or anything, but he still has training.
Jon is...difficult to gauge. He will do things that he thinks are right, for the benefit of himself and others. Now because he knows it's necessary and right, he will almost never justify his actions. He considers himself above reproach to a degree, but it's also that if something makes sense to him in a survival sense, he assumes (often incorrectly) that the reason for his actions are OBVIOUS, and everyone else should see that. And if they do not, it's not his fault.
Enter Harris. He's a very smart, charismatic person and he's very intelligent at reading people. As good as he is at all that, he's even better at manipulating people. Now this does not mean that Harris will lie or con people (although he may), it's more that he can convince people to see his side of a two sided scenario. If it's him VS someone else in a debate, he has the uncanny ability to smooth talk others to his side.
Please keep this in consideration when you are reading his posts, because in this environment and with us being able to see behind the scenes, Harris is very easy to hate and Jon easy to like.
But some players have trouble discerning what they read between what their character SEES.
Please be cognizant of this. As wormy and conniving as Harris is, a LOT of that is because he lines his arguments, or even his lies, with pieces of the truth. And on top of that, he believes it. Hearing a lie from someone who believes it to be the truth is almost the same as hearing the truth, and that is convincing.
Keep that dynamic in mind. I am not saying "your char has to hate Harris and like Jon" or the other way around. But base your character's view of them on what they can view, and their personalities, not what you think of either of them.
Thanks.

I cannot stress how much I enjoyed writing the events in the third teaser.
