I know Shi is not your character which is why I said I would wait, I did not ask for you to control her. Though I think the main problem is actually Kitsune, who most truly failed to notice characters other than his or her own, and yours. I've just examined.

Next, while character driven, you are still GM, as you said yourself, we're getting to the meat of the Rp, so grit your bloody teeth and control just for a bit longer while we establish the beginning of Rp alright. You still have a job to do by establishing the Rp's beginning.
