[h3]Plot Details #1: 
Flight of Fantasy[/h3]

You head to the airport for the appointed time. It’s actually a private jet at a small, private airfield, so, unless you’ve flown privately before, it’s probably an astonishingly easy experience. Everybody dreads queues, disgruntled tourists and lippy staff weighing your luggage, but you don’t need to worry about that. There are very few people coming and going, so the experience is relaxed and the staff are genuinely helpful. They take your luggage from you to stow on the plane without batting an eyelid, and inform you that you will be shown to your seat when the plane is ready to fly. They do check your passport, but they don’t seem to really be checking. Oddly, there doesn’t seem to be a brand or company associated with the airline in any way.

They show you to the plane. There’s only the one runway, and the plane itself is tiny. It’s going to be really cramped – or, it would be, if there were any other passengers. It’s literally just you in a roomy little lounge, a steward/ess, and the pilots. You are left entirely to your own devices, but provided with whatever in-flight entertainments you like, a small menu of hot and cold meals (that are genuinely nice if you take them up on the offer) and an infinite flow of alcohol, should you so choose. Though the staff are friendly, polite, and professional, if you try to pump them for information about the journey, they say they don’t know any more than you do (in the friendliest, politest and most professional manner, of course).

Since most of you are flying from across the Atlantic, it’ll be worth checking out time differences and such: either way, all of you arrive at around 4:00PM local time. Those of you flying long-distance will probably want to sleep on the flight: there may even be fuel stops, though, since it’s a private airline, these are quick and efficient. Essentially, it’s the dream flight.

When you arrive at your destination, you find yourself at another small, private airfield. Your steward/ess thanks you for flying with them (without actually specifying who ‘they’ are), informs you that your luggage will be taken care of, and shows you to one of three charming waiting rooms where you are invited to help yourself to refreshments, and asked to wait for your hosts. All of you will be directed to the same waiting room, and so this is the first place you will all meet. You probably have other things on your mind rather than checking Facebook on your phone, but if you try... well, the reception's pretty poor in this back-and-beyond, so your phone is basically a shiny brick with apps on it.

Feel free to take your time over these introductory posts: we’re starting earlier than I would have expected, and, at time of writing, still waiting on Call for a character submission. If you like, preface your post with details of your character’s pre-flight experience with regard to mysterious briefcases and absurd wedges of cash, but don’t feel obliged. If there is anything evidently apparent about your character (accent, habits, noteworthy physical characteristics, visible emotions, whatever), you may wish to inform other players about this in the OoC section.

[h3]The Canon Cut-off[/h3]

From the moment you write your first IC post, everything you have sent me/we have discussed about your character should be considered [i]permanent and irreversible[/i]. Any other information you wish to become canon (even about your own character’s backstory) should be sent to me before you write your IC post, or be established in the IC section. Any of the information I’m gathering at this stage could be plot-relevant so the cut-off is there to prevent any plot holes being punched in this wondrous, bloody tapestry we’re working on.

Enjoy!
