So given the original PM hasn't moved much I'll make the proposition here:

I propose that in lue of Italian's disappearance that if we feel that we want to keep the RP alive someone should at the least "borrow" Italians position just to get everyone on the move. Not necessarily to take control of his characters, but sort of take on a "temporary" intermediary role that was appointed last minute because all his characters suddenly had something Gandalf-tier to attend to in their own interests or whatever, so couldn't make the meet up.

The schedule would be kept the same with everyone meeting where ever and the briefing given so you all can ship out and do whatever.

If so decided, this presents a option that if Italian never returns, then the word of the intermediary is word from House. If Italian does return and if we decide or it disagrees we may perhaps be capable of patching this up in the canon by saying this intermediary is like Benny from New Vegas, has his own goals and missions and the resources, position, and personal skill to keep it under House and Tenpenny's noses. This may introduce a later dynamic where the two sides would be competing later on, if we so choose. Or simply a way to wave it under the rug and write it out for if Italian has any actual direction to give any of us later.

I'm assuming after this meeting-that-never-came the RP would sort of go Sandbox mode and you'd all be set free to some degree, which may make this sort of irrelevant. But in the event there was something later or if we so choose: it can be done.

I'll take this up if I have to. Posts of such short length (relative) shouldn't be an issue with me and the only complication may be my work and school schedule, but I'm free in the evenings for the large part. Pending power stability during one of several storms we've been getting here in Michigan.

The major point of this is to simply get IC moving again and I'll drop that part as soon as it's not needed. And I still recognize AtomicItalian has being the great arbiter of this RP. But I'd really like to see it moving again. Even if I'm still trying to finish up another large Sweet Gin post (reason I'm doing these so big right now is so I can reduce the total posts I make so Evan doesn't do so much filler).
