Well, I know ulthakptah mentioned in the above OOC that he no longer really has an interest in playing out the scene which is understandable since it stalled so badly.  But if he and you were both willing to wait a touch longer, then I might go ahead and attempt to post something that would allow for us to wrap up the scene in the next batch of posting and go onto the more traditional "meat and potatoes" part of our story.  Just let me know what you're thinking of.
