@Ithradine I like him. I've got a CS and a set of rules to follow that will dictate what TSF characters will be able to use that is based around their experience level but I'll save that for an OOC if we get more interest as it adds a lot more to the check to add it in and there's already a kind of intimidating amount of words up there for a Casual Interest Check.
For anyone else that may be looking and scared away by the small wall of text we've got, try not to worry too much about it. The hardest part of this is going to be making a character and that will be solely because of the TSF choices you'll have to make! Any other questions you've got you're more than welcome to ask myself or @Poi for help.

WAR LOOMS!
Parliament today has passed a Bill that they assure the people will help to stem the flow of the unstoppable German war machine! Proposed by Winston Churchill himself and backed by the King Himself, the newest Bill will allow for lending, selling, and sharing of any and all pieces deemed "Defense Articles" by His Majesties highest Generals and Admiralty.
The Bill, now being called the "Contribution to Liberty" Act was passed with no votes against it, and, as I write this some thirty odd ships that had been laden with cargo days prior are leaving ports across England for a threatened Yugoslavia across the Mediterranean as their pleas for assistance and dire need of supplies has not fallen upon deaf ears! Rejoice People of Britain! Today we take a step toward the protection of Freedom and Democracy the World over!
A man dressed in a long dark coat and with a cigarette in his mouth stood next to a telephone booth in Dover Harbor. He stood casually, staring off at something on the water line as he slowly dragged on his cigarette. It had been a long day, although a surprisingly easy one given how much time he had spent at his craft. He took the cigarette between two fingers and lowered it from his mouth, the small smoke of the burning tobacco rising up past his face from below and being taken by the cold Autumn breeze as it passed his head. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled a small envelope from it. He fingered the edge for a moment, ensure that it was still tightly sealed before he slipped it back into its place.
"Great day for a swim ain't it?" came a voice from his side. He didn't turn to look at the person talking, merely replied.
"Straight across the Channel, aye." he spoke softly. There was a slight pause before the man stepped forward from behind him and stared off across the Channel with him. "Surprisingly easy task I'd say." he said as he pulled the envelope from his pocket once more, this time bringing his hand down to his side with it in his grasp.
"How so?" the other man asked as he discreetly took the envelope from him.
He sniffed in the cold, "The Dock Foreman, he didn't even ask for any identification or paperwork, simply gave me the manifest a little bit after I asked." he stated as he placed his hands back in his pocket.
"Ho ho? That easy huh." the other man replied, "Seems we'll need to tell the Admiralty they need better checks in place."
"Seems so." the man replied before stepping down off the curb and walking across the street, not bothering to look back and see where the man he had given the envelope to had gone off to.

Kobayashi Taiki
Taiki listened against the wall to the brief, fighting the urge to walk out the moment that he was told that Sora and his mission was to do exactly what they always do. Exactly what all Investigators do when not tied up in an actual case. Taiki made a mental note to always question the Lead Investigators decisions, if not out loud, at least quietly to himself. Or only to Sora. 'Do what we always do, this meeting was a waste of my time when I could have been doing what I always do.' he mused in his head before an Investigator he didn't know handed him a card.
Although he was hesitant to at first, Taiki took the business card and forced a smile to the younger Investigator before shoving it in his pocket and turning to Sora at his comments, "Yeah yeah, don't have to tell me not to waste time," he said as he waved a hand in the air as if swatting away the accusations, "Number One Ghoul Investigator right here. By the books. Always working hard. You know how I am." he said mockingly as he turned to the door. "Now lets go and uh... do what we always do yeah Sora?" he said as he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and placed one between his fingers so he'd be ready once they got outside.

I'd be interested in playing the UK.
I'd be interested in Progress if it's still open.
@The1Rolling1Boy there's no requirement to interact with others, you could always post your character just doing something normal for them.
