I could use some creativity thrown my way as well. :-P I have to finish this post tonight but all I want to do is dick around on the internet and possibly fall back asleep.

*Throws random creative thing*

On a sunlit night at the top of the world, a man walks alone out on to the plains. Overhead the crows call, their white wings giving the illusion of ghosts drifting across the tangerine skies. He lifts his voice in a call that in ancient times would bring forth great beasts to aid him in his quest, however all that responds in the spirit of a great cat. Like a specter it stalks to him, and taking his soul into it's large jaws moves away towards the sunrise. The man falls dead, his life already forgotten by a past of mediocrity, but his future grows ever brighter as once more his spirit rides into the sun.

Beautifully written, but ultimately unhelpful. :-P

Regardless, I finished my post. It wasn't as lovely as the one above, but it's done.

So, that means you're next! Congratulations!

Yay, a post! And my posted too :P Just so you know, I wanna use the explosion as something later for first Alexi and his brother to talk about, then something discussed by Erik and Alexi, so it should have no effect on the auction. It's too far away to affect it, at least for today. It could be a reason to cancel it for the final day however, as a precaution :P

EDIT: Oh, and I like your post. The diary entry made me grin :P

It's a style I've wanted to work on since I read a book written almost entirely in diary entries of these two women. I figured now was as good a time as any to work on the medium. It's not like Erik has anything better to do. The fact that most of the entries for him while he's trapped in Alexi's room consist of his thoughts on the situation make it fairly easy.

There's more than one day of it? Ick, of course there is.

And thanks for putting that attack in there, I'd totally forgotten about mentioning Resistance activity. It will probably be time for the Xani cell to do something in a few days. I'll have to think about where they should attack.

Yeah, it was a week long expo, tomorrow being the last day of it. I'm glad you've found something educational to do with our RP :P I only really put the attack in because there's nothing much for Mois to do with Xani down, and the only way to have something to write about is if there's something close enough for him to be called in. :P His every day work is boring. I was thinking Xani would be down for at least another week, and we could write in some posts about picking a new leader, maybe about the cell shrinking after Erik's capture, and the next major attack being almost a test to see who would be best to take over the cell. . . .I was thinking their next attack could fail and while no casualties, it would leave them on ice for a bit until we come up with a bit more of a plan *Shifty eyes*

The next Leader is supposed to be Erik's second in command, Zonaira. She's been his Second for at least a few years now. This is a militaristic organization, except that their highest member often goes on the life threatening missions. It would be totally illogical for them to have no plan for succession. They would stay underground for at least two weeks after a failure like that, because they still want to "bury their dead" and possibly see if there is any word on where they ended up. But they have to continue, and they can't afford to fight about it each time someone in a high rank is lost.

Hmmm, I think our ideas on the definition of rebels is rather different, but okay, we'll go with that. I was just hoping for more time before Alexi has to report how many people are killed by his cell and how it affects Alexi, then Erik having to deal with that since he believes in his cause :P A little of it should come up with the attack on his factory, but if the Xani attack is 1 1/2 weeks from not, then there will be one or two more doses under their belt and Erik will be able to feel the hurt in earnest. Oh, and I think the Xani attacking one of Alexi's places would be good, to add to the impact on the younger Vandros :P What you think? Maybe even have Mios hurt and/or lose a few of his team. . . .

The rebels have learned to be somewhat organized, at least the Xani cell has. They have to be to survive.

We could move an attack of theirs up if they had something planned and decided to go ahead with it because "that's what Erik would have wanted." Wait, do you want more or less time? Because either way can be easily explained.

Believe it or not, I was thinking about them attacking one of Alexi's factories, but I didn't want to repeat things since the other attack was a factory. Maybe one of Alexi's corporate offices? And as far as hurting Mois or having some other consequences for him, that works really well. I've kind of wanted him and Erik to be able to talk at some point, as opposite soldiers of the same war. Anger can be just as good of a cause for that as normal curiosity, possibly better.

It should definitely be something that Erik had a role in planning. I'd like for him to have some direct responsibility for it.

I am good with the 10-11 days until the next attack. I like the idea that Erik would have helped plan it, that would be interesting. I also think it would be interesting for it to be one of the office buildings with mostly pencil pushers, maybe a slave record company. They could be there to take out key targets and steal some documents that would help them find captured comrades. Erik's file wouldn't be in there of course, but other cell members and maybe a leader or two. Find out where a few of the dragons are being held *Grin* Dragons make good tanks in the resistance :P *Has vague evil plot coming to life*

I'm okay with that. I would like to point out that they do try to minimize damage to the innocent working joes who don't own slaves but just work for the company. They aren't perfect, but they wouldn't just storm in, guns blazing, and mow everyone down either.

They could be finding documents, but what targets would they be hitting in a place like that?

It could be planned on a day. . . .*Evil grin* Where Alexi and some of his higher up are meeting to discuss the company and some recent issues it's been having. I think it would be great if, and bare with me, Erik helped plan the attack, but not until after Alexi leaves that day does he recall that the attack was suppose to happen. It could be Erik's own little war as to whether or not to warn Alexi. I see Mois being there anyways so even if he doesn't warn them his team will still be in danger, and I see him, even if he does try to warn Alexi via Josph, the Xani moved the attack up since Alexi moved his meeting to earlier in the day that the warning would come after the attack has already occurred. Alexi and any of his board members would be targets, several of them being CEOs of the slave trade and control device companies. . .If that's too much let me know, it's just what popped into my head. Alexi will not be mad at Erik for the danger to his won life, but I can tell you the cascade for other reasons would be epic. . . . .

That sounds good. I can't believe Erik would just ... forget, though. I'll need to work on that part of it. If it's okay for him to just, not remember about it. Maybe if it was at another office owned by a different company where Erik didn't know Alexi would be? Basically, if Alexi were the main target, then that's when there would be trouble. I don't know, I need to work on why he wouldnt remember or wouldn't warn Alexi, but otherwise I like it.

What's the cascade effect?

Yeah, Alexi wouldn't be the main target, and he didn't plan on being there, but the recent attack on the factory would prompt him to go, and he wouldn't tell Erik about it. However, Joseph could mention off hand where Alexi went that day which I could see as a trigger for Erik's memory. Since Alexi has not asked about his terrorist activities out of respect, I can see it not really being a main topic for them hence on the back burner in importance for now. The main targets would be the CEOs, and Alexi would be a coincidence.

The cascade effect of emotions. Alexi would be in danger, angering Mois, Alexi would see people dying for the first time sending him into a bit of a shock. He would have to calm Mois while dealing with not only his own feeling on the matter, but the absolute mess of emotions from the blending with Erik as well, and when he gets home he would have to deal, presumably, with a very upset Joseph, until finally he comes in on Erik, his emotion over the happening crashing with all the ones he's already built up, and Erik being bombarded with that near explosion making the encounter very intense.

Alright, that works. :-)

Sounds fun. It would be good for Erik to finally have some backlash from this connection. Although, considering it's taken us 7 months to get through four days, it might be a while before we get to this.
