[@Mr Allen J] She got distracted by several people showing up, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to happen. In fact, it would be very unnatural dialogue for her to address all of the newcomers in turn and then say, "but coming back to you" all in one long speech. Think about how conversations [i]really[/i] go for a second; you don't doggedly stay on topic no matter what distractions crop up around you. This is something that bothers me about a lot of RPers. Oftentimes people feel the need for their character to have a reaction to [i]every single event[/i] that transpires between their last post and their next one. That's ridiculous, it doesn't even make sense. In conversation if you cut in every time you had something relevant to say, you'd look like a dick. This is why I've been trying to stress shorter posts, the way things go are often strange and unnatural(as [@CharmingDevil] has actually noticed). Another reason is that longer posts take longer to make and longer to read, and it just stretches out time when the plot is trying to move. [@Eyeris] You might be, get on skype and we'll hash it out. In the mean time, if you can post I can get things back into gear. @Everyone: I'm working on a second series of plot motions, so that those who aren't about to be involved in the Audrey/Solomon scene will have something to be going on with.
