I'm currently stuck aboard the [i]SS Chrome Isn't Responding Do You Want To Close It?[/i], so I might be a bit late getting my pre-weekend post up, and I'm supposed to be "being helpful" today by letting a friend attack me with pins and manning a sewing machine.

Feel for to ask about my recent posts if you're unsure about their continuity with the rest of the story.

Ideally, I'd like to let the Above Ground folks get a post in, and then do the split-in-two post, because it helps me keep the two groups (sort of) together in a time sense at least. If that makes sense. Which I'm not sure it does. The general gist of it is that I'm comfortable splitting people up in terms of location ([i]and I'm happy to do this, if you need to go your separate ways for a while![/i]), but keeping them vaguely simultaneous makes it easier to bring people back together afterwards.

Right, I am going to make a pot of tea, hand out some scones and hope for the best. Sorry, as ever, for the rambling.
