@SimplyJohn only for the 'Behind Closed Doors' team, but if you and Jack wanna put on a show for us feel free to express yourselves any way you'd like. >D

You really want me to keep track of everything he's doing? Jesus, can't a girl just lay back and enjoy the sun on her face while fantasising about making out with Birdseed in front of a total stranger? :p

I'm hoping that's what you're referring to, because otherwise I was intending for Khershig to not notice Birdseed looking through his gear.

@Skythikon

Your previous post did mention him looking back at his passengers, so I'm happy with him being able to see what was happening.

As for taking things the wrong way IC, personally I think it adds to the depth when the other characters react in ways you hadn't intended them to. It shows that they're not just cardboard cut-outs reading from a script, plus adds group tension if people are constantly stepping on each others toes, in the figurative sense. :)

Good pace for our part of the story, manage to skip over what could've been a tedious car ride and jump straight to town. I tried to give some sense for when it was we left the Lair, but could we get DM input on what sort of time we're looking at now @Dragonite777? I think we may be hurrying ahead a little with 'Behind Closed Doors' and leaving 'Surprise' tailing.

As she stepped out of the car sarah reached up for her earbud, giving it a quick tap before simply saying, "Condor, in flight with 'Seed." The burst transmission should be enough to let Angelo know what was happening, and unless anything untoward happened Condor doubted she'd need to use the radio against until arranging their pickup after the mission.

Looking over at Birdseed Condor smiled warmly. "This would've been a lot easier if I could've gotten some of Patch's 'social lubricant' from him before heading out. I've been out on the town with him a few times and those drops of his has most girls eating out of his hand in seconds. We might have to sit him down and discuss his drinking at some point if he keeps slacking off like this before a mission." As she talked Condor pulled her purse up onto her shoulder and turned to face the direction of the flower shop. They were still quite a distance away, but not so far that it would cause them a problem and with the clouds thinning overhead it looked like a pleasant day for a casual stroll.

"Shall we?" She asked, turning to look over at her partner in crime as she felt butterflies swarming in her belly. The idea of having to fake a relationship with another woman was making her anxious, but she kept her poker face steady, hoping Birdseed would see only the cool confidence Condor always tried to portray.

In that case the answer is 'C'.

I know someone who managed to get qualified as an Electrical Engineer without attending a single class. He got hold of all the past exam papers for the previous 12 years and went through them to determine that about 40% of the time the answer was 'C'. He then went to the examination and just ticked 'C' for everything and passed with something like 37%.

I remember when you still used to get 10% just for penmanship. Manage to spell your name right and you're already halfway to a passing grade.

Oh gosh. Will catch up, then I have a chem exam, and then I'll be free the rest of the day.

@RomanAria

Remember, the First Question must never be answered. :p

@Skythikon Post worked well, or it got us into the car at least which seems like a good start. One kilometer away from the shop in the middle of town though? We'll have to walk from the outskirts all the way to the town centre. Couldn't you have dropped us a couple of blocks away instead?

@Skythikon "Strange, never heard of that vote. Sounds like a Chinese democracy to me. Many votes, but only one choice."

"We used the British system, 'First Past The Post'," Condor replied with a smile, "Since both Birdseed and I agreed you'd be the best one to drive there was no real need to bother you when I know you'd prefer to be left playing with your toys."

Sarah could never understand why some people had to bring so much equipment with them on a job. Eyeing Kheshig's dufflebag suspiciously it looked as if he'd decided to bring every piece of equipment he had along for the ride. Reaching down, she pulled her purse hard against her side, wondering if it was too late to ask him to bring her own SMGs along, just in case she'd need them. Before she had a chance to make the suggestion their little Oriental friend was directing the girls into the car and they set off down the road.

Checking her watch Condor saw it was a just after three in the afternoon, a little earlier than their original plan had intended their departure, but if she and Birdseed were to be approaching by foot they should still reach their target within an acceptable timeframe. Leaning back in her seat Condor glanced at Kheshig in the driving seat in front of her as he chatted away before turning her attention to the sky overhead.

It was a bright day, but still quite overcast. She'd heard the weather was often like that in Britain and that it wasn't likely to rain, which was good as her outfit wasn't designed to get wet. For now she was content simply to sit back and wait, like a cat ready to pounce as soon as her prey came near.

You could steal the 'Uneducated' trait Patch used to have? If he was trained to do only one thing from a young age he wouldn't really have a wide knowledge base. On the other hand you could give him something like 'Bookworm', since he's more eager to learn things now since he missed the opportunity to do so when he was young, and so spends a lot of time reading anything he can.

Or just keep it simple and give him either 'Prankster' or 'Immature' as a trait, both of which would having him acting a little childishly, even during missions.

Or follow Patch's example and go for an obvious character flaw, like 'Substance Abuse', 'Gambling Addict' or 'Adrenaline Junkie'?
