Sorry, its a phrase I've used it since the first episode of Kanon, so its basically second-nature to me... ^_^

[Merlin]

First up, I can't post until Friday night since I work 2 jobs now and its 80 hrs a week. Whenever I am off of my old job and/or on the weekends I can post. This week that means Friday and Saturday.

Secondly, I kinda assumed I had another post or two to flesh things out and explain the agency in-story in greater detail before someone tried to meet up with my characters, but that didn't happen. No big deal, it just totally threw me off of what I was brainstorming on... lol. Zell I think you misunderstood my character profiles for Sizuru and Alastora. You kinda made a giant leap before I had fully explained how they operate...

They aren't like the Navy Seals or Army Rangers, etc... The only thing they have in common with groups like that is that they do precision strikes, raids, etc. If you've ever watched shows like 24, or even certain movies, the U.S. has several military 'cells' that are so top-secret they technically don't exist on paper. Only a few key people in any given military or government agency are aware of them. Their job is typically to do things the government would never openly agree with or admit to, like the Pilner strike. The government isn't about to say "the Pilner Religion is out of hand and needs to be stopped", because they have trade deals, etc with that country and don't want to start a war. Covertly, they sent Sizuru and Alastora to do exactly what they said they did not agree with. The beauty of politics. You can think of them as government-funded terrorists mixed with Mi6 and Mission Impossible if that makes more sense.. haha.

You did touch on one thing that is true... if the agents or agency itself goes dark, there is no freaking way you can get into contact with them. Once they have a green light for a mission, there is no going back.

I suppose I should give the agency a name so I stop saying 'the agency'. Perhaps the M.C.T.U. While the MCTU is made up of both male and females, all mages are females, which is a distinction from other groups. Details on that later.

With that in mind, the regular military or even other special military groups wouldn't be giving Sizuru and Alastora missions, because they don't exist. Instead of having you rewrite your whole thing, I can come up with a way to go around it. Perhaps it was leaked to your unit that the MCTU was making a strike on Pilner, which is possible... shit happens, especially since its medieval times and all. Its impossible to be totally covert with no phones, etc available for communication. Anywho, your unit figured 'hey, great time to try to get them to help us'. Problem is, Sizuru and Alastora went dark and you have no freaking clue where they are. Something like that maybe.

If that didn't make any sense let me know. I hurriedly wrote that since I just got home from job#2 and have 5 hrs before I need to get up to go to job#1... bear with me. haha.

It totally makes sense to me, so I can help explain it if Merlin isn't able to.

And also, who would like to meet up with me? =P

Merlin's characters seem fun, but they're all the way over there.

Uguu~ vs Gao~

Well, I suppose Kaida could have a brief encounter with your character if you'd like. I don't have anything planned out for her so I'm sure I could come up with some sort of reason for her to visit the city and be in the general vicinity of the arena. (By the way, does the city have a name or is it simply called Lothua, same as the kingdom? )

Well I had to a write a post for another RP prior to this one, since it was a little longer coming. But I'll be putting my next post together tomorrow. So it will probably be up in the evening hours before I get to sleep. I do not plan on slowing things down or waiting on everyone to post. They can post when they have their time to do so. I will be keeping things moving along so that the momentum is not lost.

I don't mind Merlin that you can only post on the weekends. Weekends are definitely good times to write for me as well. And if that is the case then I have and others can have time during the week to react to what you have posted and hopefully have something up for you by the time the weekend comes again. At least I hope things can go like that. But we shall see how things go.

And Merlin is right about the post Zell. If he is working for a secret organization that barely the government even knows, then you would not even come close to knowing about it. You can be in the same area doing some sort of mission or whatever, but knowing about Merlin's mission is not really very plausible. If you are against completely rewriting the post, then I guess taking Merlin's advice about it being leaked information would be the other alterative. Either way the post needs to be edited to account for it in which ever fashion you can manage.

I am enjoying the posts made thus far. I can tell that Merlin you are having a lot of fun with your character. I am looking forward to seeing more. With all of the depressing and angsty mood of the RP a lighthearted cheerful character will brighten things up a lot. Keep on posting everyone. ^^ And Lady Rika and Atma whenever you are can join us please do. And Aerif whenever you wish to create a character for it I look forward to seeing you in the RP.

Oh, DH I love the banner. ^^

[Merlin]

Don't tell me you all went blank in the head already... I hate seeing RPs with a bunch of intro posts and thats it. I mean sure, I haven't posted again.. but I also work 80 hrs a week. I'm going to post again tomorrow night(most likely very late at night), but don't you all sit around waiting on it... keep going...

[Mistress Sheena]

Heh. I have absolutely no way to keep going. Besides, I'm the last one that posted, so don't tell me to keep going. >.>

I'm waiting on others. heh.

[Andromeda]

I would have had a post up yesterday Merling, but sadly I fell asleep against my will, so to speak. And tonight, well I was playing GrimGrimoire with Shadow. But I will be getting up a post tomorrow I hope. Its Friday, so I can burn the midnight oil if I must to get it done. Oh don't worry Merlin, I'm not playing on letting the RP die so long as I'm not the last poster.

Lol. I don't wait on anyone. I continue to brainstorm, outline, and write even if my char is interacting with someone else's char. I have multiple angles set up so that even if that person doesn't post, I still can. It might be harder for people who don't brainstorm as much as me, I suppose. My brain is always churning with new ideas.

[Mistress Sheena]

Yeah, that's all fine and good, but I don't write that way.

I can't brainstorm if I'm the last one that posted. =P

Cause, you know.. double posting isn't good and whatnot. =P

But yeah. I just came up with a few ideas a bit ago while I was in the restroom. xD

I think I'll probably create another character to be a 'rival' to my character. Not evil or anything, just a rival of sorts. And probably wander around or something.

Though if no one has posted yet, I can't really do anything. So.. I still have to wait regardless, ne? =P

[Zell Dincht]

I'll have a revised post up sometime this weekend along with another post in the workings. Perhaps we could talk about it a bit Merlin? Instead of saying that my character was sent to find you, he was 'hinted' at the fact that there could be help for him coming back from the lower country.

I'm up to ideas/suggestions from you if you wanted to somehow get a story line going for perhaps a misson/set of events.

[Merlin]

You still have time to work on it, my next post will avoid yours all-together, since I have one more task in Pilner. Unfortunately, my next post will not be a humorous one. I'm jumping to the other side of the scale towards grief, despair, anger, and so forth. I have to knock out the 'painful past' stuff so certain characters of mine can move forth in his/her/their life. Could I be any more vague? Indeed. Thats all I'll say for now. It should be rather interesting.

As for when they come back, yes saying that you got a tip or something is fine. Just keep in mind that having a bunch of lookouts/spies trying to find them is more likely to make them go dark than anything. They wouldn't approach someone when they know they are being watched, ally or not. Actually that gives me an idea... anywho, whatever you decide won't affect me much in the end. I always have alternate routes devised ahead of time. I think dynamically..

[Mistress Sheena]

Yeah, I'm starting to think of a lot of things for my character, too. So regardless if I interact with anyone or not, won't stop me from posting. It'll just.... make it my own story, pretty much.
