[@Jay009] thanks, you're too kind :) The stuff with Michael Fern hasn't even been entirely revealed, either. Everyone here is a great writer. I did the list of everyone's strengths a while back, so I won't be redundant and list them again :P Since you're new though - avap, I really like how you read through the posts to get up to speed and established Alison's background within the existing context of the story. Also, you've not only done a great job with your Rogue, but with fleshing out Kerensa, Pete and Olaf also. I'm really enjoying your writing and look forward to seeing more of it. Speaking of setups, I wanted to get a few things established and today has ended up being kinda tough, so I got my post out in case the rest of the week ends up being the same. The beginning isn't as polished as I'd like, but it establishes where the unnamed Cleric is, so you all are free to control her however you'd like. And writing Xavier is always fun, of course :P
