				*Waves* Hello. Are you wanting the chara sheets in here too? Of course I won't start one until after I collaborate with the other half.

				*Waves back at Narya* <br>Well, to your point, will the other half to your character be the husband or the brother? :P<br><br>I guess we can write in the way we see the character, and choose character photos later.<br><br>I'd like Jack to be 28 yrs old, 5'10", athletic build though not ripped with muscles, brown hair, brown eyes. He has a successful legal career with a reputed firm. <br>He adores his sister, but maybe he's not been paying her enough attention since they got married - he now dotes on Marie, and is certain Matt will take good care of Jenny.<br><br>Guys, please mention if you'd like your character to be the older/younger sibling, and how that shapes the character's relationship and behavior with his/her sibling.<br>Keep suggesting changes, if you feel some can be made!

				Hmmmm for Jenny I'd say I want to be the little sister instead of the older one. Im using my droid atm so I'll post more later. As for the other half things I suppose I'd mean both, that way I can sort of devise what type of sibling and wife she would be. Anyways, more in the morning!

				I like that idea too, that way we're not repeating the same pairing, with both of the girls being the younger siblings.&nbsp; It'll give a different perspective too, having the older one being the opposite gender in each case.&nbsp; I don't mind Marie being the same age as Jack, which gives Matt the option of being a bit older, if Eeyore wants to play him in his later twenties.&nbsp; I can't remember offhand what Jack does for a living, was it a lawyer?&nbsp; I could be getting that confused with something else though, so straighten me out Leo, if I'm totally off!&nbsp; ^_^

				You meant to say Matt (as Maries younger brother) to be 24 years old or so...maybe 26 would be better.<br><br>Jenny can probably be any age over 21.

				First up, thanks Eeyore, for deciding to stay in the game.<br><br>Great, I like the two pairings being opposite in age too!<br><br>Sarah, yes, Jack is a lawyer. And Matt can have any job with that firm, so that they are colleagues.<br><br>To go with Eeyore's idea, Marie is 28 (same age as Jack) and Matt is 26.<br><br>Narya, you can choose Jenny's age then. I would say, for Jack and Jenny to have fooled around in their younger years, the age gap shouldn't be too big. Jenny can be 3-4 years younger than Jack (so say, if she's 24 now, they'd fooled around when she just turned 18).<br><br>Ok, some more character points: Jack likes chocolate, Whiskey, a good jog in the morning and has had issues with his father while growing up (his father was mostly too drunk to notice him or his sister). Which is why Jack always made it a point to be protective towards Jenny.<br><br>Keep them posts coming!

				&nbsp;Jenny &nbsp;(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs18/f/2007/189/0/9/Jenny_N_08_by_MazStudios.jpg)<br><br><strong>-</strong>Age: 23<br><strong>-</strong>Height: 5'5<br><strong>-</strong>Brown hair<br><strong>-</strong>Hazel eyes<br><strong>-</strong>Thin build, has a piercing on her bellybutton<br><strong>-</strong>Little sister to Jack, wife to Matt<br><strong>-</strong>Enjoys: Rock music (most types), being around animals, swimming, and having the occasional drink with her big brother. <br><strong>-</strong>Growing up with a drunkard father and non existent seeming mother(perhaps she was always working or had simply run off) Jenny had no one but her brother. In school she was a bit different than the other kids, hung out with the crowd that seemed to wear nothing but black clothing, and had a load of things said behind her back because of it. In turn she had behaved just a little rough on the edges but only when someone said or did something that really hurt her, especially when it came to her family. When her brother married, she was introduced to Matt, who she very quickly hit it off with. Despite her choice in fashion (which mostly has something to do with band shirts unless she has to go do something with formal wear or when she simply wants to dress up to catch Matt's eye) she has a basically sweet disposition. Due to her love of animals (mostly of the canine group) she currently works as a Veterinarian alongside another vet at a local clinic. <br><br><br><br><br>Anything else I need to put in? Oh, and what do you think? Good?

				I like Jenny too.&nbsp; ^_^<br><br>I'm assuming this couples' retreat is a romantic-type thing, and not for couples who are having problems?&nbsp; I suppose that should be the first question, so that we'll know how the marriages are.&nbsp; Right now I see Marie and Jack as being happy together, but it can change, depending on the purpose of said retreat.<br><br>Marie and Matt did some fooling around when they were younger themselves, Matt even being the one to take Marie's virginity.&nbsp; I picture them as still being together quite a bit until Marie met Jack and things got to be serious for them, and probably when Matt met Jenny he'd want to be loyal to her too.&nbsp; I don't see Marie as being the type to be married to someone and still be fooling around with her brother, although that can probably change at this retreat.&nbsp; At least the feelings will come back, being in such proximity to her brother, and she'll feel like she needs to tell Jack about what went on with them when they were younger, and go from there.&nbsp; Thoughts?

				Yeah, this retreat is more a holiday to get some quality time away from the busy city life, for both couples. And what better company than the two couples together? So yeah, this is a romantic holiday, and the marriages are fine, I would say.<br><br>Maybe during the holiday, the two brother-sister pairs also spend time together, where they inquire about each other's marriages... and tell each other what they've discovered about their spouses, like their likes and dislikes and little habits. Over the course of such heart to heart talks, maybe they realize the old feelings they had for their brother/sister haven't completely vanished.<br><br>Since Matt and Marie have gone all the way, maybe we should keep Jack and Jenny's relationship still not consummated. Maybe only after Marie's (or Matt's) confession about their past, Jack (or Jenny) consider doing it too. <br><br>Maybe Marie and Matt do it once more after marriage, and then decide it is time they told their spouses about it.<br><br>Keep them ideas coming!

				So with Jenny and Jack you want it to just be a thought in their minds, or do you want it to be along the lines of they've touched and toyed with each other, but just haven't gone all the way?

				Yup, 'touched and toyed' is the right phrase. It was passionate and lasted a few months, but they were just too scared to go all the way. And then work became more hectic, and they met their partners, and the feelings got subdued under all that.<br><br>Do you like this, or prefer having it some other way?

				No no, that sounds great. As stated before its a pretty good thing to have our differences between siblings.

				All sounds good to me.<br><br>I see Matt and Jenny having a pretty solid relationship, but Marie is always in the back of his mind. Perhaps once the confession comes out and they all find themselves agreeable with it, a little foursome ensues? Perhaps starting off with their spouses, but then sliding over to the sibling relationships as they explore it a little more fully? Perhaps the first time Jenny and Jack go all the way, with the M&amp;M siblings watching and joining in. <br><br>So Matt:<br>Age: 26<br>Height: 6'0"<br>Physical: Athletic and toned. Black hair, hazel eyes.<br>Enjoys: Rock music, animals (in general), sports.

				Yup, a night of "<em>drinks -&gt; confession -&gt; shock and surprise -&gt; more confessions -&gt; foursome</em>" surely fits into the story.<br>And I like the way M&amp;M let J&amp;J do it, and then join in...<br><br>Do you want the confession to be after Matt &amp; Marie have succumbed to their feelings during the holiday too?<br><br>I guess the characters are mostly set now... Matt and Jack work at the same office... How about Marie and Jenny?

				How are we wanting Jenny to react to Matt being with Marie at first? Of course she'll wind up having those thoughts of Jack again after so long, but should it be an instant thing or is it something you want her to ease into?

				Yes...I am thinking it will have to be broken slowly....like...."My sister was my first kiss" sort of thing, where they discover they share some similar firsts with their siblings, before he drops the 'virginity' bombshell.

				I agree, it would be slow... but I guess it should be one long session they have, where they reveal things one by one... A truth-or-dare game may be a plot device here, or do you guys feel it feels forced? <br><br>In that case, we can have just four of them sitting around a fire or something, under the moonlight, and they slowly open up...<br><br>Not just about their siblings, but about how much they like their spouses too...<br>

				If there's going to be drinks involved, I don't see why a truth or dare game can't be part of the mix too.&nbsp; And no, I haven't lost interest in this game, it just got buried under a massive amount of bookmarks, and I'm behind in all my games, so I'm staying up late to get them caught up.<br><br>Just so you all know, if this game is even still going to be started, which I really hope it is, I'll be leaving sometime on Friday for the weekend, going on a trip with some friends, and won't be back until late Sunday night.&nbsp; Depending on how tired I am, it might be Monday before I post anything, just as a heads up to everyone.
