Yeah I know what you mean, I would hate for them to become boring as well. I really like that you prefer the darker sides of rping, strained, action fulled and dark. Is always the best, and sounds like it would be funner. 

Well of course there is the mermaid side that we have to work with, I would think the king and queen would want to come after their daughter. Um pan could be used, as Hook didn't actually kill him....just some thoughts of course. Do you have any ideas for twists?

Also of course the two stories have to be linked somehow.
