Alrighty. So Chicken an I are almost done. He's about the smash the crystal, It will probably be a short post. Afterwards, here's what will happen: [list] [*] I'll do a plot point showing what happens after smashing Crystal Jade (FYI, breaking crystal Jade takes a good amount of force) [*] I'll do a Chres post immediately after. This may be combined with the plot point [*] I'll allow everyone to make some last few quick posts involving everyone's escape. I'll give everyone a week or so for that. [*] After the escape. I'll make a Plot point to wrap things up. [*] I'll make an interlude plot point [/list] [hr] From here, we can do a few things and I'll want everyone's input on this. [@Jerkchicken], [@Fetzen], [@13Org], [@HokumPocus], [@elevation] A) we can do a two weeks of collab interlude posts with interactions between characters to add character building. (This could be done before or after the interlude plot point) B) We can start a new Thread for the next half of the story's arc in an effort to attract fresh people (Though a better time for this may be after the arc is finished) C) We can pick up the second half of the Arc immediately after the escape or have it take place a few days later (I'm leaning towards the latter option so we can skip boring Intel searching) D) If we decide to skip ahead a few days, for the second half, I would like to collaborate together to decide what occurred with everyone's character during days that will have passed. [hr] If anyone has any additional ideas for progression, I'm all ears. Thanks to Fetzen, I have a solid foundation of an idea for how this next half will progress initially, but there are a few details which are fuzzy. If you have any bit of story for your character which you would like to add to the story progression, let me know. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer :)
