I could come up with some possible puzzles. Be them mental or physical. ^^ And yeah outside of the game will be good to navigate with too. I've been getting back into Dot Hack and I've missed online stuff for so long, such a great franchise...But where do you think James and Sasha would be offline after the skip? I assume we're doing something post-college or during? I thought we agreed post-college so they can be independent and such. I figure Sasha would be back in London.

And I'm just waiting to post because I wanna check if we're skipping now or still waiting, since we've done a lot pre-plot already. ^^ (not that I mind but skipping somewhere sounds like a good idea)

And oh, good luck with everything! Make sure you keep studying hard to get promoted (or whatever it's called, I forget) my brother works his ass off to make sure he passes his tests and shit, it sounds hard as hell but if you really love it and can deal with BS from higher ups (if they suck, some are terrible with paperwork and getting chits requested for you) then you will have a great time. Tell me you were joining five years ago and I wouldn't be as supportive. ^^;
