@Tranquility OMG! You have put so much work and thought into this. I am so excited for how this is going to play out.

@NobodiesHero Thank you! -blushes and laughs-

I wanted to kick things off once I had a concrete timeline in mind (well generally since this is a group RP and I expect changes to happen on the fly) and with the larger number of RPers, I had to adjust a bit but I think it's better this way anyway. I hope it's fun for everyone!

I posted again to break up the flood of people arriving and to save us from having to say 'hello' to every incoming player and backtrack our dialogue. So if you posted, feel free to reply again if you'd like. And that goes if you post and someone replies to you, it's a small enough back and forth and may feel better than catching up to everyone in a single post. -smiles-

I won't intro KISU until my next post or maybe even the one after that so no one feel rushed to give a greeting and leave it there, if you want some back and forth with one or two people, go for it.

@ClocktowerEchos @Hero You guys still with us? :)

Yeah, working on my post now.

@Tranquility Not going to lie I'm not a fan of the posting style. I'll be dropping this, best of the luck.

Okay, thanks for letting us know.

I'll get us a post up once I've done some fiddling to adjust one person dropping (in terms the two groups, it was nice having an even number).

@NobodiesHero @SilverPaw @Double @Hero

I added another character, though he may not be used as much as Kohe or Sachi. We'll see. -derp face-

So the next post is gonna be an attack but for now your characters are free to show interest or uncertainty or ask questions, whatever! -smiles- And again, no order, you are free to post as much as you want, go off with another 1-2 players once this intro is over, etc. Have fun with it. -grins-

Now I should probably explain who will be in what 'group' since we're rapidly approaching that point where characters will need to figure out their own views. One group will be sort of forced together without real say so it's up to you if you want your character to be on board right away or not.

Group 1 is comprised of our lovely Aura, Sachi, Yasuhiro, Kotaro. Group 2 has Kohe, Setsuo, Aika, and Saya.

Now Group 1 will take the route fleshed out by The World and its lore, being granted a similar hacking ability that KISU/Kohe will give those in his group. The moral crux of these two groups is that G2 is willing to break the rules and work outside of the system both literally and figuratively. G2's approach should be considered more dangerous and aggressive. And G1's approach is more like a story of sorts, with less risk taking and more mystery. Both Groups want answers but Kohe will do anything to find them, whereas the other group is guided by an AI who wants to keep The World intact and is very much against KISU/Kohe's methods of destruction.

I groups people together based on their class and how much they may be more invested in their leader (KISU v Aura). However if you think your character would be better suited for the other group, I can try swapping. However if you're cool with the group you're in, great! And the groups will of course not be used unless we have a lead/clue to follow, otherwise players are free to party/team up with anyone they want and continue to level up and such.

Any question as we keep this thing rolling?

-smiles hopefully-

My computer's internet isn't working, I can't write posts until it's fixed.

Dang. Thanks for the heads up, we'll press on and get your character up to speed.

If Hero isn't able to post yet either, I'll get something up tomorrow, gotta keep things moving so we don't become stagnant. -smiles- Plus we're getting to the action quite soon here! -cue dramatic music-

Haven't heard from @Hero or @SilverPaw you guys still with us? If not, I'd like to know so I can alter the teams a bit and maybe start a fresh OOC. If you're just busy due to the holidays, let me know though. -smiles-

I've been a bit busy, yes. I also didn't feel posting just to make a small-ish reaction with my character regarding the most recent development. Feel free to get on with the action.(Never mind, you already did.) I'll try posting during the next week, I think, hopefully next weekend at the very latest. Also, I know it would take time, but getting more collabs going on might help things.

Yeah, I get that. -nod- It's up to you if you want to make a short post or none at all, just the lack of OOC acknowledgement didn't indicate you were still around so I had to double check. People are welcome to make collabs and they'll likely be easier to make once we get past this introductory phase and into the real story. Still I'd rather see an indication as GM, otherwise it's hard to tell who is still active and who isn't. The group we have doesn't seem like a talkative bunch and that's fine but if someone is going to pass on posting for a while for whatever reason (like Double did) it's better to let me know so I don't assume someone dropped. It's also a busy time of year which I get but I'm glad to know you are still here. -smile-

Internet's fixed, so I can write posts again.

Sweeeet, I'm glad it wasn't out for too long (I've known folks who couldn't get their net back for weeks). -thumbs up-

There, finally a post by me. I'm not exactly happy with it, but I didn't really want to delay it any longer.

Sorry for the inactivity, my mother decided at the very last minute that Christmas is at our house (instead of being hosted at my grandmother's as I was originally told) so I've been scrambling and running around like a chicken without a head.

@SilverPaw No problem at all!

@Hero I understand the time of year, I hope you're able to pull everything together and have an epic Christmas!

Sorry guys, the holidays have had me really busy. Today is the start of my two week break, so hopefully I can get a post up soon.

I understand, don't worry. Just post when you can I hope you enjoy your break!
