So i'm writing up the first IC post, it may take me a few hours. I figured i'd use the time to make sure everybody understands how the style of play here differs from that of your regular NRP (or RP, for that matter). All posts are basically like a mini-short story, they don't necessarily rely on other people to respond to make them have any value. The idea is that all posts have their own, self contained plot that could be added to by another player who seeks to subvert you, or not. We use the world building elements to make consistencies in our posts and so that everything connects. 
I feel like I haven't explained it to the best of my ability yet, but does everybody sort of get the jist of it? Any questions?
