I think it's now time to write the synopsis of what happened so far.

I'm not sure if I have the time to scan the entire thread. I might do the first ten pages or so, but...

Fellows, I'll be off the web for two days, so keep Gant with the herd and don't kill him, please.

Sigh I'm not sure how my character can get much interaction with anyone else anymore.

What, because Prisha's turned everyone against him?

After an incident like that, if I was in his position, I'd be trying to reconcile and start anew.

Also, this might be my last post until next Saturday. I leave for band camp tomorrow morning at 7 AM EST. If Weather.com is to be believed, the temperature should not rise above 80 F. Feel free to pilot Shinji and Daisuke around as you see fit.

I'll be seeing you guys in a week. Farewell.

PS: For those who wanted to try A Game Of Chance, your wait may be over in the next few weeks. We are one post from wrapping up season one. If I recall correctly, snowfoxofdeath, QQQQQ, Morguilon, and chihuahua 0 requested PMs for when the time came. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[up][up][up] He didn't actually mean to. Shinji attacked him out of nowhere and wouldn't answer him. So Prisha had to use self defense. Also I couldn't just leave him out in the streets. So Kobayashi saved him for personal uses.

(To the five that have requested P Ming, you can expect a PM from me when the RP Signups are posted. They will be up as soon as i can get them up, but the wait shouldn't be that much longer. I will not bring this topic up again, so as to keep this thread focused on the things associated with it.)

OK. To clarify some confusion: that portal of Alice's is serving as a place to store equipment so we don't have to worry about logistical nuisances. It's a Bag of Holding, for all intents and purposes. For various reasons, it won't work as an actual base — the prime meta-reason being it would make things too easy and kill the feel of the story, but there's in-story reasons as well. The current plan, unless somebody speaks against it, is to find an old, abandoned factory, chase out the vagrants, re-open the portal there, get the stuff out of the warehouse.

Yeah, my bad. So, for those who need a refresher, what is going on with Prisha exactly?

He had a dream regarding Kobayashi, which we can presently disregard — whether that was FreaX's intention from the start or not is his to answer or not as he chooses. He's presently working for a guy who sells spy tools, Kohchev, and trying to decide where his loyalties lie.

Not really my intention. I just had the Kobayashi picking Prisha up as my first idea. Then came up with a better idea later. I'm currently stuck now between if Prisha should sell the team out to Kobayashi or actually help them out. The latter has potential for more interesting result. But I'll need another crisis point involving Kobayshi.

Help?.. please...

It may merely be one of those random bumps in the road, but we seem to be a bit stalled. Have we scared off everyone who wasn't involved in the past few pages by causing such massive upheavals while they were busy in Real Life? I fear this may be the case.

[up][up] Well, considering that most of the characters on the team dislike your character, and the anti-heist team is lacking for members, it sounds plausible for the Face–Heel Turn (or would it be Heel–Face Turn?). It's obviously up to you, though...

[up] Maybe we should actually organize events before hand, or at least say "ok, we're doing something now," and give some warning before you do... whatever it is you're doing...

Some people asked for a summary of what happened so far, but no one did anything, so I went and wrote one. I tried to get most of the important information, but even skimming the pages took about two hours, so I don't want to have to look for more stuff. I also put in page numbers, just because. Also, wall of text alert.


Everyone was gathered in the prison before Kobayashi picked them up and shipped them off to the safe house. They settled in, finding what places and things they liked. Grimm picked up some weapons from a contact of his, causing much consternation among people who decided that stealth should be the main focus, and not blowing stuff up. (Pages 1 – 11)

Jonathan decided that some actual planning needed to be done, and called everyone into the armory for a meeting. They wrote down their names and some of their basic skills. They began developing the skeleton of a plan, and discussed some of the finer details. After the meeting broke up, some of the people ate dinner, but Ian and Bianca caught Prisha spying on them. Meanwhile, Scott discovered evidence of Grimm’s shipment, and began tracking it down. Time skip. (Pages 11 – 16)

Shion and some others got the idea of visiting the Trinidad Casino to do a little scouting, and drove off like maniacs in the Ferrari. At the safe house, Alice pulled some people together to try and figure out a way into the vault and around security cameras. At the Trinidad, Gant spotted Bianca and asked if she knew who Grimm was. Realizing their cover may have been blown, Shion swapped the Ferrari for a Mini Cooper on the way back. Gant contacted Cain about Shion’s group. (Pages 16 – 20)

Deinonychus’s shapeshifted body began decaying. Upon hearing about Gant, Grimm had a massive freak out before explaining who Gant was. They began discussing ways to incapacitate Gant, and decided to use his honor to possibly turn him to their side. Scott, Cain, and Gant crashed the party and began a standoff. Cain quit his entire job for the price of twenty million, and Gant was convinced to work with the heist team. (Pages 20 – 27)

Deinonychus’s shapeshifted body fell apart completely, leading to some misunderstandings as the other members attempted to capture him, and revealed his true name to be Python. Scott lit some stuff in the safehouse on fire, but the fire was stopped by Prisha. The team Scott, Cain, and Gant came with had the heist team pinned down in the safe house, but a phone call to Scott got them to retreat. Given that the location of the safe house was compromised, possible locations for other places to stay were discussed. (Pages 27 – 33)

Kobayashi, holding Shinji hostage, approached him with the offer of capturing Prisha to let Daisuke live. Gaudio met the heist group and weirded everyone out while simultaneously annoying them before vanishing. Several people went out to eat some fresh food rather than the safe house’s supply. Viper stormed the safe house looking for Python, and William was accepted in. (Pages 33 – 43)

Prisha went to a gadget shop of some kind, where the owner let a fourteen-year-old buy explosive ordinance. Shinji tracked Prisha down. William told the group that Kobayashi wasn’t to be trusted, and they began plotting against him. Prisha left the safe house and was attacked by Shinji, drawing everyone else out. Prisha was knocked unconscious, and the rest of the group was attacked by snipers. After the snipers were killed, Alice decided that a new safe house was needed, probably some abandoned factory, after the vagrants get chased out, and threw some supplies through a portal. Prisha was captured by the owner of the gadget store, Kohchev. (Pages 43 – 51)

TL;DR: Shit happened. (Pages 1 - 51)

24 hours since last post, and I'm starting to worry I'm partly responsible for the mess that's generating the silence. So... what now? Everybody's got a reason they haven't posted; I've just been worried a handful of tropers, myself especially included, have been dominating the scene too much, making too many decisions. So I'm trying to back off and let other people get a word in edgewise, but I'm worried it's too late and they've already gotten so lost they've given up.
