I'm sorry. I know you were counting on me to be active. But I'm playing a character who is (at the moment) somewhat passive, and I'd like to respond to others more than starting each round of posting, so I'm kind of trying to avoid posting every single time I log in. Thus her looking to Myara and Merryn.<br/><br/>I could go more aggressive except that at the moment, I think we kind of have an accidental railroad going on: the things we're likely to respond to by going off the rails aren't things which are apparent to the characters, and the things the characters are likely to respond to are Merryn's suggestions and the Republic orders. The in-character thing to do, for a young jedi who isn't sure where she's going from here except 'towards action,' is to follow Merryn (unless Merryn starts moving away from the idea of engaging the Mandalorians) or go with the flow of the rest of the Republic types (so long as the characters are reliant upon Republic support to get to the front lines).<br/><br/>It's a sometime side-effect of the GM narrating action happening somewhere else that the PCs can't see it. Unless and until that action impinges on the awareness of the PCs, they just...sit there. The trick, as best I have been able to discern, is bridging either suddenly or through slowly narrowing paths which everyone can see will cross, between the PCs and the elsewhere-action.<br/><br/>And please, don't take this as a negative criticism! I'm enjoying reading what you've written, I'm just having trouble responding to the more active elements while staying in-character! If I had a little firebrand whose reaction to the feed from the Senate was 'Oh, screw that! It's just around the corner, so I'm going over there and giving those jackasses a piece of my mind!' then things would be easier but, uh...That's not the character! Nor is it a terribly Jedi-ish thing to be doing. XD
