So, uh, where are the main 'groups of characters' right now...? o_O

Then I can possibly introduce Gaudio to them a little bit ahead of time, perhaps, so he's got soemthing to do.

[up]Prisha, Pscho Frea X's character, is either at a hotel named Caligula's or sleeping like a hobo, depending on whether or not he took Alice's offer. The rest of the heist crew are in a safehouse outside the city.

So... to Caligula he goes...

Bear in mind, time-zone + bed in half an hour means I probably won't be able to reply until tommorow.

Hey Crystal Glacia I have some plans for Shinji, or rather I have plans for Kobayashi to have plans for him a while later. What do you think?

I'm fine with it as long as it doesn't require Shinji to act a certain way or do something out-of-character to make it work. I say this because I dislike Idiot Plots and when my characters are taken control of without my permission.

About how long should this take to unfold in real time?

Am I allowed to take control of Patterson and Bakersfield?

[up]As long as you keep to their general character (pompous, close-minded, and a bit dimwitted, but not outright idiotic, as far as I can tell) I don't see a problem with it.

[up][up]Once Kobayashi is aware there are some runaways in the heist group such as Prisha, but can't find him with his own resources. He lets Shinji out only to use his skills to capture the runaway and bring him to Kobayashi.

Shinji won't be free though, he will be sent in a squad that will keep surveillance making sure that Shinji finishes his job, doesn't run away and kill them both the moment he tries to make contact with his son. None of the squad members alone are as strong as Shinji. But together, Kobayashi believes Shinji will have no choice but to cooperate.

Kobayashi also threatens that if Shinji refuses or doesn't find the runaway by the caper, he will make sure that Daisuke dies after the heist. So yay or nay?

That is wonderfully sadistic. Go for it.

Shinji has genetic enhancements thanks to one Vinicio Acquati that allow him to tap into time-based applications of magic. So he can Flash Step and do Stealth Hi Byes and all of those other ninja goodies. Daisuke inherited it, too, albeit to a somewhat lesser degree.

After 2 days of no interwebs, I demand a recap.

Also, posting from me will now be more sporadic, so if anyone wants to borrow Gant, just write him in character.

Uh, let's see.

Deinonychus turned into his true form, a dino-man. Scott set something on fire, and it was swiftly dealt with using Prisha's ice magic. Scott was then chased away. And now, it has been decided that they split the team- one group will camp out at a hotel and basically do recon, and the other group will plan for the heist and stuff.

And that's basically a rundown of the major events at the safehouse.

Some other agents- some anti-heist, some hired by Koboyashi have appeared. Paterson and Bakersfield, the owners of the two main casinos merging were witnessed bickering. And Shinji, Daisuke's father, will soon be forced to work for Koboyashi in order to ensure his son's safety.

Some other things may have happened, but I don't remember.

There seems to be a temporal misunderstanding here. There's already been a timeskip — it's breakfast time, IIRC.

Just a thought before I sleep: I just saw an old trope in action. I think Alice garnered more evil points with her insensitivity towards wounded souls than she did proposing to use "usually non-lethal" nerve gas on innocent civilians. Is it at all wrong that I find this more amusing than anything else? Well, good night all.

[up]Frankly, I didn't see it that way at all - I find her treatment of individuals hilarious in a Jerkass Dissonance way, while her threatening innocents, however nameless they are, that way is an uncomfortable reminder of how psychopathic she actually is.

Okay so since each of us writers can fill in parts of the story......... I'll just make it that Kobayashi is working for an organization called Daeth and the diadem turns out to be a powerful ancient artifact which the uses of is still unknown okay?

[up]Can't say I like the name. I generally find villainous organizations far more believable if they have names that are either harmless sounding (e.g. Western Amalgamated) or outright examples of Peace & Love Incorporated.

Aperture Inc. or Black Mesa

wild mass guessKobayashi's employer is G manwild mass guess

Just want everyone to know that I'm planning to have Kobayashi and his benefactor travel on the day of the heist for an "business" meeting. Or would it be more interesting if William lied?

Anyways, Black Mesa it is. But wait what? G man. As in his parents actually named him that?

Half Life reference, so unless we're making this a fanfic, don't use that name.
