Happy Sunday from the cargo bay! As you're aware, Wolf and I are both spending this Sunday near Paris. (He's in France; I'm in Texas.) With our travel schedules in mind, we're taking our time with Shore Leave for China Doll's crew. Official ship time is Day 2 evening. We'll get to see Edina and Yuri cut a rug at the Museum shindig...it's in my head. Now I just have to write it. The Day 3 evening shenanigans JP is off and running! If you don't already have adventures in store for your characters' final night of shore leave, feel free to come aboard! Everyone's got the link, but I can supply if you need. NOTE: As I think the episode climax happens Day 3 night as well, we promise to have everyone back in plenty of time to join in. I've learned a bit during this episode. Abby has been pretty much out of her comfort zone the entire time. Having the rambunctious Lorraine take her under wing has offered me interesting reflections on the character. I've always known her to carry damage, as well as social and educational gaps, but getting the chance to look at her through Lorraine's eyes is revelatory. Character growth is one of the great joys I take away from RPG. Abby's struggle to find her place in the 'verse is thought provoking fun, and I'm grateful to all of your for both input and leeway. You've all seen the ideas we have for the next episode. I think that once Wolf and I are back on our respective home fronts we should all get together to put some flesh on those bones. In the meantime, I hope the rest of your weekend is great! WWIF, sail
