I'll be posting my entrance tomorrow night. I've lost a few hours today between transitioning to an earlier shift at work and going onto daylight savings, but I've got my first post pretty much planned out, just need to write it.

Good luck and Have fun!

Super fun!

Meanwhile imma eat this Thai sweet chili chicken pizza I’m making right now. Omnomnom.

No sane man puts Chicken on a Pizza - HERETIC, BLAAAASPHEMERRRR!

(P.S: Should be able to make another post by this evening.)

Ohhhhh them’s fightin’ words! Do you not like chicken bacon ranch??? BBQ chicken pizza?? I make a mean Thai yellow curry and chicken pizza too. Tsk tsk! It’s not like I’m putting PINEAPPLE on it. Ugh.

Also vfear brought up a good point—-how exactly do we all meet? Because like the idea was that the event happens and bystanders figure out it’s the Azurei involved, so seeing Ridahne she gets blamed for being involved.

But like, does one of your characters tackle her (ps she wouldn’t go down without a fight, or at least trying to run)? Or is that NPC’s? Does she get taken to the authorities or nah? How we doing this?

@vFear @Blackfridayrule I'm hooked on whatever Vilĉjo's cooking up, but I'm in the dark for the rest of it; however, given that he seems to have the most going on, why don't we all figure out a few paths for everyone to meet *around him? I don't think they'll group up immediately, but...'soon', relatively speaking.

Also, BBQ Chicken Pizza XD) - but how does the curry work with tomato-sauce?

Post coming in about...3-4 hours? Got a bit more practice-work to get through before I get to it, but I'm definitely feeling up to wrapping up that THRILLING cliffhanger - will Haban walk east...or west? o_OOOO)

The curry is instead of the tomato sauce! Same thing with the sweet chili sauce one.

I’m down for that. I had a thought—if Ridahne is unsuccessfully detained by dogooders she’d make a run for it. Could it be that she finds either Haban or Vilcjo (sorry i don’t know how to do the fancy chevron thing) in a back alley? Vilcjo seems like the kind of guy to hang around those kinds of places often. But like maybe she bumps into one of them and asks for help?

Omg, I have it...we make it a pseudo the good-the bad-the ugly situation:

So, assassination takes place, perhaps with a minor riot or some sort of panic caused by the Taja; All three characters end up having to rush out of wherever they are, stopping (perhaps with a few weapons at the ready) in the same alley (XD, actually this is making me think of the scene in Conan The Barbarian, when all three thieves bump into one another in the night). Momentary distrust ensues, or just confusion in general, before they realize that (for some relevant reason) they'll have to at least temporarily work together.

Danger passes, they go their separate ways again, but due to other relevant reasons, they end up having to work together at a later date? It's one hell of a coincidence, but I think it'd be kind of dynamic to have them meet, split, and reunite again. If anything, one character could just force their way into getting another to help them, and then that character could remember that the third has something that could help the party as a whole...at least, for a little while; the alliance should still be shaky enough that the characters *can still split up if they feel disgusted by one another...plus, drama.

(Won't be able to finish the post tonight, but it'll be up by tomorrow afternoon.)

I am totally picturing a pirates of the Caribbean moment where three people each have their weapons trained on each other but with lots of confusion and I’m about it.

I’m trying to figure out what might cause my character to reunite with yours...we can definitely do that it will just take some planning. But I like where you’re going. Ooh ooh unless she is the third, meaning the other two in their reunion eventually realize they need someone who knows the Azurei? There’s so many ways we could do this haha. This is fun.

Also who is Haban? Former military I guessed, but is he still involved? Got ties? Or is he just a civilian now?

He's a member of the City Watch (military police kind of vibe), so he's 'involved', but on a smaller level. Which should make it more interesting to watch them struggle to figure out what exactly is going on XD); the post will make his position a bit clearer, I hope.

Oh perfect. So we’ll have a semi-cop, a criminal, and a falsely accused terrorist. This should be good.

Maaany apologies for the delay back here - too much has been happening on my end to keep up with; As soon as I finish up this final writing assignment, I'll polish up the post and have it in! (provided the power isn't cut out by a distant hurricane...so no promises in that respect)

Hurricane! Goodness. Well here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen!

Stay safe my dude. Let us know if it starts heading your way.

....Annnd, it's gone.

Anticlimactic - but good for me! Thanks regardless guys - and @Blackfridayrule, can I ask what exactly a "uri" is? Part of this scene requires a bit of descriptive detail, and I want to get a sense for what your average Azurei might look like; Note, these aren't "Taja"...but at a glance, you can tell that they've had military experience. Also, @vFear, do you mind if I ask about the contents of Vilĉjo's van? I think I've got an idea that can help better tie together how his appearance might tie into the situation as a whole, but it kind of depends on what you've already been thinking up.

an uri is like a sarong. It’s a unisex garment but they are styled slightly differently depending on gender. Loose fitting, practical, a light fabric. Often in shades of blue, black, gray, or occasionally coppery red, though that would be like their equivalent of forest colors to blend in with the desert and are less common as something worn casually.

Women might wear a kind of half shirt like ridahne’s, men are sometimes seen in loose shirts or with none at all.

But that’s all traditional garb, so some might also be in jeans and a t shirt really. Most will have silver piercings in the ears/nose. The right ear is traditionally gauged and depending on the shape and material of the jewelry worn in it, it signifies region and family origins. All have facial tattoos—-they’re called ojih. Most have other body tats too. Dark russet/olive toned skin, golden eyes, black hair.

Also taja are a particular branch of the military—a tiny elite force. Common Azurei military is called eija.

@Virgil
Not at all. At risk of spoiling the surprise (it's in the discord anyway), he's an organlegger. There's a bunch of questionably sourced organs hidden under false panels in the van. He has thirty hours before he has to either boost a few new car batteries for the refrigeration or get rid of them.

Innnnteresting! I've got an idea for *why people would be harvesting those particular organs for data, then, but I'll get back with you guys (and FINALLY finish this damned post) after I submit this writing assignment that's been nagging at me for the past few days. It's a bit absurd that I've been held up this long by five paragraphs, but I'll be through with it soon enough. Sorry about the insane delays - I've been trying to juggle both the post and this work, and it's becoming clear that I just need to hammer out one before I can finish up the other now; I'll be back in a matter of hours, hopefully with all cylinders firing!

*poke*

Righto!
