also im gonna go ahead and say this because it always becomes an issue even when people think its not:

please be conscientious about posting frequency, if not posting length. most GMs I've dealt with on this site dont do posting orders but im a huge fan of them because it gives people not present a chance to react to something more realistically instead of rushing through it and having to deal with the fact that their reaction is meaningless.

im not stating a posting order, thats for GM to decide. Just please keep others in mind when posting, ESPECIALLY when their characters are in the relative vicinity of your own. its not too big of a deal if theyre far away. 

and in case anyone is wondering, my character(s) wont show up till later...
