Alright now that I'm not all sleepy I can respond! I thought about this for awhile and even talked with Cloud to get her view on this.<br/><br/>So, honestly we could spend days talking about and analyzing Ian, but I think it might just be best not to worry about it for now and continue on with the scene. I just don't think it's going to be conductive to spend any more time picking him apart. I've even considered editing Ian's post, but that wouldn't be conductive either since it would just make Ian's post longer.  The characters have all just been introduced so it's going to take us all some time to get to know and understand them. Characters, just like real life people, can be messy and confusing with how they act or what they say.<br/><br/>This is our first time writing Ian and Cy together so if you don't understand where Ian is coming from it's fine. Heck, Ian is a character that has been living in my head for 9 years and I'm still learning about and developing him. I don't really understand Cy yet either but I don't expect to. Not so early on. So go ahead and just roll with it and post. If Ian's confused you than it's perfectly fine to write Cy confused too. If Ian is grating on Cy the wrong way than it's perfectly fine to have Cy call Ian out or question him.<br/><br/>Was there some specific goal that you had in mind for Ian and Cy for this scene? I didn't have anything specific other than to just give someone for Cy to interact with. And to show off the pilot's cafeteria  :-)
