Sorry for the lateness you guys. This should give you all plenty to post about though. 

Now that everyone's gathered together (at least for now), I feel I should probably let you all know that posting order is going to be very important. Give everyone the opportunity to post AT LEAST once before you do. These next several posts will determine the official posting order. 

As always, nothing is set in stone, however. If a situation occurs where you would REALLY like to get a word in before it's your turn, just say so in the OOC and get clearance from everybody first.
