[@flux] for the options you listed before, I also think the second is probably the best for now. And you already know my thoughts on the rule set you've been working on, I think it'll work out fine (though I realize now I forgot to get back to you in a PM...whoops). And I hope you're feeling better! 

Also added a small part to the end of your most recent beach day add.

[@SporkoBug][@The Savant] sorry for the wait, also added two beach scenes for you both. They are in section two, right after Glade's entrance and before Herald's part. I added on my phone so they aren't marked out for easy finding yet lol.

[@Andre Valias] Hello~! Interesting detectives! 
As for what Savant said above, I get where they're coming from. Just consider if one may work better as an NPC attached to the other, bit I think it might be okay because they are the same faction? And seeing how they work together (or possibly against) each other would be neat. Although I think Elena should have some secrets of her own too!
If you join in, I'll probably PM you some possible connections if that's alright with you.
