With no disrespect to Machk, given his abrupt change in circumstances and the complete change in stressors that entails, I really do now need to move things on. If there is a suitable backfill then I will do so..

I've not heard anything from evileeeyore so it may be that due to his IRL issues he's not able to play, either currently or going forward.
Machk will stay around as a character, i.e he will get collected so if evileeeyore does re-appear he can theoretically just pick the character back up.
If you've been paying attention you'll have noted I've added 2 more characters to the Character/Player reference. Hoping to have them on-boarded by the weekend, so there might be a slight delay to progressing Chapter 2.

Yup, I exist and am glad to be here!

Welcome Nathaniel!

.... and is it Welcome Cassandra?

Welcome to the (upcoming) party everyone! :)

Yup, Hallo
Nice to meet you all. It's lovely to be here!

Hello.

Also: I see what you did with your name.

Hmmm .. looks like gain one lose one.. not heard anything from Digishade/Nathaniel since his initial post. Hoping to be able to move chapter 2 along later.

Hello everyone, glad to be here !

Welcome aboard!

Hi Edward. Welcome

Welcome.

Ref Chapter 2.
Not sure we're going to get a post from Machk, had hoped I might have got a further response to his message on Sunday, so if Edward can respond then I can move things forward to Cordelia actually physically materializing through the Trump Portal, and what happens next.
At this point I'll deal with everyone in collection order.

Sorry, while I put a lid on the stress I hadn't quite nailed down the busy.  I'm actually completely and totally free tomorrow, so I'll be finishing the character sheet and background then.

Just waiting on a response from Mr Elgrim.. then we can move on. Next bit will need to be in order of collection..

Okay.. typical bad GM.. forgot about the "Group Bs".. I can also deal with any reaction from Group B characters at this point.

With replies from the "active" Group B's, I've not heard anything from Digishade(Nathaniel) since his initial messages and post, I'm going to move things forward..

How long should I wait for Kenneth before claiming my preferred assistant?

Given he's not posted anything in a week then no don't wait.. I can back fill as required.

I'll give Winter and Rhiannon some time (like a day should be fine) before I post in.

I'm waiting on Winter. Once she posts I'll be right behind her

I'm here also, and waiting my turn, but I'm last.   :)

I think you're about the only character left to post..

I'm going to wait another couple of days (till Monday evening my time..GMT) for Edward to post before moving on with the meeting in the library.

That gives me plenty of time to make posts of Machk grumbling about the 'high tech addiction' and the 'ivory tower attitude'...  :P
