I have a suggestion. I realize the captain has been occupying most of the scenes, and the story has to shift to other characters and their dynamics.<br/>For things to be smooth, I guess the best way out is this: everyone can mention what they'd prefer their character to do/experience in the next few scenes.<br/>For example, Aurelie can tell us if she wishes more punishment heaped onto Ophelia or just being put on as a dining hall spectacle.<br/>The other girls (and crewmen) can mention what are they looking for in their scenes with their assigned partners - light flirting fun or rough stuff or dirty stuff and so on.<br/><br/>In my next post, I'll make the captain ask Macheath to lead the girls to their stations (which Truhan can do in his next one perhaps), so that the story has 4-5 parallel threads in place.<br/><br/>
