[quote=@Dervish] Actually [@Hexaflexagon], did you want me to get a quick post up before you move things along to reply to people, or did you just want to keep things moving along/ in the rough posting order? [/quote] If you would like you can because I'm still typing the next story post up. I just try and keep the posting order because I think it makes it easier for people to know when to go a posting. But It isn't anything set in stone. :) And hmmm that is an interesting question you purpose here. I guess here would be the breakdown. [list] [*][b]Daro:[/b] Nik couldn't do that, it would be like setting a truck full of puppies and kittens on fire. [*][b]Haze: [/b]Haze has sort of become Nik's de facto second in command by this point so he probably would want to keep him functional if Nik has to do something crazy to save the tortured person from being killed. [*][b]Raya:[/b] Nik knows that she could handle it when push comes to shove but he would have reservations about it because reasons. [*][b]Ardan:[/b]Sorry bro but he does'nt know you all too well and as a result he would sell you down the river quicker than you could blink if it came to it. [/list]
