@Just The Wind Well we've got that 3 person collab we're waiting on. I wondered if anybody actually went to school other than the non-supers. We start training tonight [in-game] if you guys would get with the character development and such. I usually get the "not enough time for character development in your games KL" but then when I make time for it games slow to a snail's pace and we lose people.
Once that collab' posted we'll move things forward if nobody else wants to add anything.
~KL~
I mean we had plenty of character development going before we were forcibly time skipped. I'd like to actually play out the mall shenanigans if there's going to be any pending the collab and other developments. Obviously if it ends up being only Nike and Karlie who want to skip, it's in the best interest of the RP to skip forward but if the whole group wants to go to the mall, then there's a lot of substance that could be played out there. Rev and Nike are both alien to society and there's a lot of fun to be had with the fish out of water scenario there. Plus there's Karsin's budding flirtation with Karlie, Nike and Rev's difference of opinions and other small elements to be played out. Combat is great and all but it's not really the meat of the RP.
Plus, something could attack the mall! I think it's better to be flexible and roll with what the players have provided in the IC rather than shoehorning us into a predetermined situation simply because it's more convenient.
