[b]Rosalind[/b], it's fine. Kids take up a lot of time and sanity. I may not have a first-hand understanding, but believe me when I say I get it. [b]PlantEater[/b], looking forward to seeing your character. With the two sides starting separately but eventually crossing paths, the separate thread idea can't work seamlessly. I think Trivia explained it the best, and I still think that's how we should play it out. I understand there are concerns about knowing too much about what the other side is doing, so I'll make sure to always clearly label the PoV of each post/part of a post I make. I would appreciate it if others with characters on opposing sides would do the same.
