Right, now here are a few guidelines for IC. No posting order in general, but no double posting. Minimum of 1 paragraph per post unless your character is talking with someone else's. Also be reasonable with post length, 6-7 paragraphs max is generally enough to convey anything you need to say, though exceptions apply for combat and exposition.

Now, at the moment you have two choices, you can continue to banter and get some characterization in, or you can call it a night. Main story will continue the following day in game.

I was experimenting with the margin size. Anyway, IC is now open, the game is afoot.

First character to post is the first one to arrive at the safe house, and so on from there.

All the king's men.

Night has fallen over Aerune, capital city of Veronia. The people of the city are sleeping, safe in their beds. Guardsmen patrol the streets with their lanterns. Even at night the splendor of the city can be seen. The moon casts an unearthly glow on the marble statues that line the marketplace, and the light glints of the silver tips of the cathedral's spires.

In front of one building, in one of the poorer districts, a lantern is hung. It burns a strange blue color, a signal to those looking for it.

The building itself is unassuming, it looks like an abandoned warehouse giving way into genteel dilapidation. But as the five strangers would find when they gave the signal knock at the door, and were let in by an unknown mechanism, things are not always as they seem.

The inside of the building was well adorned, lit by candles and a fireplace roaring in one wall, one could easily mistake the place for one of the more high end taverns in the city. In front of the front of the fireplace was a large table already set with food and drink. In the center of the table a note was pinned by a dagger. It Read:

I apologize for being unable to greet you myself, as urgent business has kept me at the Palace this evening. To the five of you arriving tonight: I'm aware that you've yet to be told why I've summoned you all here, and unfortunately explanations will have to wait till my arrival tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the amenities of the safe house, it is one of many placed in various locations throughout Veronia for agents needing a place to regroup. As such it has accommodation for each of you, and a fully stocked larder. Additionally, one part of the basement houses an armory and training room, and the other a small alchemy lab. Until such time as I can arrive to make more clear why I have summoned you all here to the capital, I expect you all to get along, strangers though you may be, you have all taken the same Oath as a Player.

I will be very put out if anyone is dead by the time I arrive.

Right, well the first thing in IC is going to be a meet and greet type thing, Your characters don't know each other, you've all done work for Hawk, but it's been on an independent basis.

I'm sorry to say, but unless someone drops out and excepting the character yet to be revealed, all slots are full at this time.

Kind of goes with the Territory. :)

Right, well game starts on Tuesday, and we actually have one more player that I'm not having post until a day after the game starts for story reasons. You'll see when it comes up.

All the king's men.

Well, here is the deal, one of the people participating in this game won't be able to put a character up till Monday, which is what I'm making the deadline for everyone else planning on submitting a character as well. That gives us a couple of options, we could either start this game next Tuesday, or we could wait till the following Friday I'm fine with either, so I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide which you would rather do.

All the king's men.

That sounds fine.

All the king's men.

I think every team needs both science and muscle, looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
