Wonderful posts everyone! If you want to take an action that will lead you away from the group that is totally ok, just PM me or post here and I can provide you with any information you want. Part of the challenge of running a mystery in a collaborative format! Baring that we are just waiting on Naril :)

I'm up for waiting to know a little more, before rushing into action. Now... If they try to snatch Madelin, it's another thing altogether.

I'll probably wait for the next update, but once we get a small bit more situated in the city/with these guys tailing us I'll brainstorm stuff Manny could do.

Well im all for waiting for another update. Sure Leon in a bare knuckle brawl would be fun, but the second they whip out magical shit hes gonna be screwed without totems.

I was more worried about the undue attention of firearms in the street.

@POOHEAD189 I wasn't worried about that. Leon was just gonna knife some fools.

@Naril Do you want to post before I advance things a little further?

I'll be aiming to post this evening, hopefully move a little faster from here on out.

Something quick, but hey. I like it, mostly.

I think I'll play a round or two of solo Elder Sign to really get myself in the mood

Awesome, things are moving! After the next update I'll brainstorm some questions to add some interesting mixes into the plot.

Edit: Also I never care too much for inconsistencies, but Manny and Kennedy never verbally said anything about fighting them, and how did she know about our guns? Though it could be otherworldly succubi powers. It's no huge deal, though. I know you've had a hectic few weeks.

@Naril Kind of what he said. Kennedy never pulled out her gun and, as far as I know, neither did Manny. They have them, sure. Manny WAS reading a gun magazine though.

Also Kennedy left shortly after Manny poked her to warn El. Granted, you could do your thing before that happened, just wanted to clarify.

So!

For the guns, I figured that Morgan watches the other members of the Group carefully (either out of habit or because she has a mother hen attitude; probably a little of both), and collecting firearms cases from TSA is a very specific series of things you must do, which are pretty easy to keep track of. Since removing a firearm from a TSA-approved case is also a fairly "showy" activity (the cases are typically hard-sided plastic or metal cases with large covers or hinged lids and must have separate shackled key or combination locks), she would have known by looking that Manny and Kennedy had both collected their firearms, and that both of them had made said firearms available (Manny by holstering his at the small of his back, Kennedy by putting hers in a purse or bag).

(I travel with a firearm on an irregular basis)

For the intention, take your pick: Narrative lease, prior experience with Manny's attitudes, Naril has had an unbelievably bad couple of weeks, succubus' intuition, sunspots.

:3

@Naril The gun thing? That's fine then. I do still want to point out that Kennedy is talking to El shortly after talking to Manny. So it would be possible that both Morgan and Kennedy are talking to El, but from your post you left both Kennedy and Manny back to go talk to her yourself. Judging by how Morgan played it, it wouldn't make sense for both Kennedy and Morgan to walk together to talk to her, if we are playing up your idea.

I can edit my post if this is what you want. Just want it clarified.

Yeah I'm honestly cool with it all. Manny would stay where he is so Kennedy going to El* would look more natural, but I think it's completely fine if Morgan noticed Manny switching his gun in a subtle fashion. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.

@FantasyChic - I wrote that post before yours showed up, sorry. I'll edit something in tomorrow morning, I've used up about all the brain cells I've got left tonight.

edit: also, blame sunspots. That's a thing people do still, right? Definitely sunspots.

@Naril Glad to have you back, btw :)

@Naril Fantastic! Then we are all on the same page

@NarilI blame Ferrets. It's always the ferrets.

@POOHEAD189 - I'm going to do my best to hang around more. We'll see how good I get at that.
