mongoose .. please .. stop .. you had me at "a damn good writer."   *snicker*<br/><br/>Well, you two are demonstrating that you have much more experience at this than I.  Thank you Elina and mongoose.  I really am enjoying Bo, and writing with all of you.  Mongoose, very nice post and very good advice.<br/><br/>Admittedly, I did misinterpret what Elina and 5th were trying to do in their flirting at the table.  It seemed to me that the track of what we had been planning was being lost, which I think was understandable considering the nature of the conversation and that neither author had come out in ooc saying that they weren't going to run off together that night.  From the talk of the characters, I was beginning to believe that is exactly what was going to happen.  So, like a gorilla with a sledge hammer, I killed the flea.  Lesson learned.  Next time I'll ask the flea first if he remembers that he isn't suppose to come on stage until the next scene.<br/><br/>Even reading back just now, I know both writers claimed they weren't going to have their characters run off together that night, but without that discussed in OOC, I'm not sure what else I was suppose to think reading this line:<br/>""Tonight, seems ripe fore duh likes ah both." Vince glanced from Nicci to Mari as he asked them,  "Wouldn't you both agree?"<br/><br/>[Tonight seems ripe for both. Wouldn't you agree]"<br/><br/>Seems fairly obvious.  But hey, I still could have asked in OOC before making my now infamous post.  In any case, we can work forward from here, hopefully with better communication.<br/><br/>
