At the very least, we'll likely need to be on our way out of town, or at least done with our current encounters before we can drag someone in because of a fire they started.<br/><br/>Though if you wanted to work out the character a bit before actually interacting with the other PC's, then we always start you off in a town a little ways along. Mesh things together so that she's right on trial or about to hang or something when Rain and her group come through. If we go in that direction, then you could work on your introductory post now and I could work up the NPC post with my next post.<br/><br/>Unless everyone thinks that would be too confusing. I guess worst place scenario I could add another IC thread for places other than the main storyline. I'd likely need to anyway if we keep getting interest like I seem to be. I'd hate to turn decent character and writers away if I could just figure out a way to have the two parties and throw them together and drag them apart as appropriate. That would mean more work for me true, but I could live with that, and it could add some interesting dimensions. Then again, that's just a thought and far from a certainty.
