Awesome! I'm glad we figured something out. ^-^ So I guess we'll go with that, then. I know last time you gave me very basic character descriptions and let me go wild with the murder scene, did you want to do that again or do you want to just give me a few parameters and have me come up with the victims? I can do it either way, just depends on how much free time you have and whatnot. HA. I say that as if I have much free time to spare. :P And I'm totally down for time-skips. :) As we've both more or less stated, we can't really afford to have a slow plot when the RP is going to be moving at a slow pace. To wait months for a post where nothing stimulating happens is a great way for us to lose interest and let it die for good. That's something I certainly don't want to happen. Plus, we have lots of great ideas for arcs but they'd be a little ridiculous to happen back to back. But it'd also be pretty ridiculous to play out every little mission between story arcs. This isn't Naruto, we don't need fillers. XD Oh gosh, I would [i][b]love [/b][/i]for Lilith to go to a banquet with Aleks. How sad his life must be if he can't find a better (or at least better behaved) option than her. Ha ha ha It seems like he'd be more careful than that, usually. So we should probably have a reason for it. Like Aleks finds out there's a hit out for him or something so he wants an inconspicuous body guard. Or we could include that in the supernatural hunter arc. Lilith is the one that needs protection. Oooh, that could work nicely, actually. She goes with him, something triggers a slaughter then and there, Aleks has the shock and panic of them almost getting caught, and then right when that fiasco starts to seem like it's coming together, the hunter shows up, drawn by the commotion. Then Aleks gets to step up and be the bad ass protector that is making me swoon just to think about. @_@ I mean, it isn't for any romantic sentiments and is simply because Lilith is a useful tool but still, that is a form of attachment to her which is enough to make me giddy. And that'll be a huge turning point for their relationship. Lilith will almost fully trust Aleks at that point and as a result, will become fiercely protective of him. Oh gosh, the more I think about it, the better it gets. Lilith choosing to trust Aleks means when he fails to deliver at a rate that satisfies her, she'll feel a sense of betrayal on top of her impatience and frustration. Which is good character motivation for her to start becoming threatening and stalkerish. They had a deal [i]and [/i]he managed to sneak under her skin despite all her walls and defenses. That's really gonna burn her up. But rather than be angry at herself for being foolish and trusting a man like him so easily, she's going to do the impetuous thing and take it out on him. Lol God I love these characters. <3 They are the most frustrating not couple couple ever. Ha ha ha I just want to see them together forever even though I still don't know if this story is going to have romance, let alone a happy ending. XD
