^ Just from personal preference, I like past tense, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Also, my band has a concert, I'll be gone for a few hours.
No one believes me when I say angels can turn their panties into guns.I have no preference in reading, but I am more accustomed to writing in the present, as you can see.
Warm hugs and morally questionable advice given here. Prosey BitchfestSigh it would take a while to catch up now. But I'll be able to post for the next 8 hours. Hey, so at the moment are we all going in some really big car that could fit everyone? Or is it a few separate cars or what?

Help?.. please...This page
seems to have handy tips about improvisation, and scene advancement - which we can surely apply to the CDTs.

Been skimming QQQQQ's post. Been in pugnacious mood
lately, so I can't help but comment on a few bits.
Firstly, this isn't a pure improv — it's character development. Ergo, you can and should ignore some of this advice. For instance, if your character would "refuse", then... refuse. Or, if you feel it's better for the tale as a whole, remove the opportunity of refusal. And, of course, actively changing personalities to provide contrast won't work either. Though actively choosing to stick near characters with opposite personalities will. Still, overall, good advice. Well, off I go to read me a megapost.
^ I like your habit of erring for more, instead of less.
The advice given I know it's meant for improv - I simply found that some principles of it, like the scene-building and "Yes, and" can easily be adapted for our sakes in CDT posting. I'm well-aware how bloody nonsensical it may seem to have personality shifting (inconsistant personae?) or the apparent idea you aren't allowed to say No.
It's not gospel.
You can flat-out say no, but that's just flat-out discouraging to the story movement, if what you're getting for your creative efforts is a tentative "Err.. Um.. I don't think so." It's more exciting (and it reinforces your character's integrity, actually) if your character can roll along with the idea - "Let's try making out in the W.C. and see how it goes." etc. etc.
If at last resort you feel it's contrary to your character, at least provide an explanation why not— i.e. "He isn't the romantic, daredevil sort, and he'd much rather kiss in a bedroom where it's more polite." That way, you keep the immersion and you get more of a sense why. Two-pronged reasons.

I'm guessing it's somewhere in the Nevada desert

K thanks. Anyways this is moving so damn fast. Another post is made before I can finish reading a previous one
.
@Morgulion and KSPAM — Victorian security has called the Trinity security to meet up (refer to my previous post), so whenever you guys want (not like our timelines need to match up), you guys can come over.

Whatcha gonna do, little buckaroo? | i be pimpin' madoka ficsThat's what I was thinking too. Having a dozen people be arrested of car-jacking in the same freaking night is extremely suspicious. Security should prolly be able to add two and two together.

Maybe when the players and Koboyashi split to their respective venues, We can cut over to wherever Daisuke's father is, because I mentioned that he was captured so that he doesn't expose the heist.
