				Heheh, so they get their own game in some other universe?<br><br>But you'll give them a chance to post yes? A party of three is below the critical mass I was thinking.

				I agree, let's give her a day or so.<br><br>Does everyone want to stick to a strict posting sequence or shall we play it by ear (for example if 2 chars get into a separate conversation)?<br><br>Oh, and I hope the pictures of the old plane were OK. That was the kind of thing I was imagining. I think Fokker made one and Ford did a similar one too, called a Tri-Motor.

				I prefer to post by ear as well, it allows much easier dialogue. The pictures of the plane were great, im glad you actually found a cargo plane of the period, as the planes we would think of that way werent designed until late late 30's early 40's. Good job Haibane!

				I think for the purposes of the game as well as the small passenger door in the side from which the characters jumped, perhaps Doctor Hainiu had a hatch cut in the floor in front of the tail and the cargo chute went out that way? I hadn't realised but I provided pictures of two different planes, one is a low wing and one is a top wing (is that the right name?) But I think the general type of plane will do. I do like to slip in images for added atmosphere when I can find them.

				We will continue on with the game running under the assumption that Portal Box malfunctions have placed the Doc and Susan in a separate part of the world. When Dawn posts we can then move the two parties together for a happy reunion! lol

				Sorry I took so long to post, I'm in the middle of an annoying dry patch writing-wise. Also I was trying to work out Florence in my head and I think now I have a character type for her.<br><br>Any sign of the others...?<br><br>Also, Hainic has not arrived, yes? But his assistant Mr Richard has?

				Just checking - is Hainic permanently lost (or at least lost for now), and what about the general supplies? I think the initial reaction of the party would be to search the surroundings for the missing people and equipment. Perhaps the GM can PM one of us and let that person find them/something as appropriate in their next post or two.<br><br>Can you please give us a description and brief bio of Richard, Hyde? You sprung him on us while I wasn't expecting it! :P<br><br>Thanks.

				Thanks Hyde, and for the description of Richard. Is that his first or second name? Thinking in 1920s terms, people would usually be called by the surnames.<br><br>Also... sorry, everyone, I need to say that I'm struggling with the writing style here somewhat. The third person omniscient storytelling style of yours Hyde, is hard for me to get into and enjoy. You keep saying things like 'the party noticed that' and 'the group realised such-and-such' which to me is god-moding. If my character is going to see or realise something I'd like me to be the one who writes it. Also, Florence spoke to Richard in my last post but he ignored me. I would like your post that follows mine to include a suitable response to it. So I'm finding this play style somewhat unappealing. Do you always write in this way?<br><br>And... so far no-one seems to be interacting much at all - everyone's comments seem to be directed at a vague group presence. I'm trying to get responses from people by talking to their characters but so far no-one's biting. Unless things change I think I'll be unable to continue as I don't find this level of character interaction interesting.<br><br>Once again, sorry, but I need to say this now before we commit further.

				I'm away from this Thursday until Sunday evening. I may have the opportunity to post when I return Sunday but don't count on it. Tomorrow I expect to be busy clearing my desk before I take my break, doing some shopping and packing for the trip so I doubt I'll get time to post tomorrow either. I might, but it's not certain, even if I'm around. See you all in five days.

				I don't know about you guys but the energy of this game has died down a bit. I'm considering dropping, not only because of this but also because I've become a bit overburdened by games on E.

				Hyde has been rather busy. Also I was running under the impression some would be gone for a few days. Either way I am in agreement that the energy does seem to be a bit down and we all seem to be stretched a bit thin. I hardly find time to actually log in let alone post any real detail. What do we think?

				I was gone for a few days but was expecting a reply by the time I returned. What I do depends on your response I guess, but if you barely have time to login to E then I think we should call a halt, a game needs a certain level of input and enthusiasm and unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening.
