				Alright, the Panda has managed to herd me into a corner for long enough to sit down and start picking over my character for this game.&nbsp; Having reviewed the playbooks, either the Nature Witch or the Trickster have my interest.&nbsp; Anyone like to chime in on this, give me their analysis?

				As far as character dynamics, both playbooks would go well with this group. My personal thought is that Nature Witch would play particularly well off The Beast, while The Trickster would play well across the spectrum (dangerously alluring to The Chosen, natural enemy to The Devoted, and somewhat sympathetic to The Infamous). Although, Nature Witch's naivete and fresh eyes might also add some interesting angles to The Infamous.

				When you get a deadline for playtest feedback?&nbsp; Genius can step on it a bit.&nbsp; :P&nbsp; (Not that we have to stop playing or anything, but we just won't be able to submit feedback as testers after the 28th, so if we stumble across something they needed to know after that point?&nbsp; We'd better hope someone else caught it, too.)

				Depends on the scale of the "master plan." But, just throwing it out there, Lucca's home was the site of the duel, and preceding it (or just after it), your forces pretty much razed it to the ground, and Lucca sees you as the general leading that army. Again, egrieved both, but Lucca swallows her feelings and sadness to try and stay aside and say that Elinor was hurt most, and she's just going to duel you for her sake.

				Sorry for the delays, everyone. I had trouble coming up with a post beyond "Lucca goes to get wine for her and Elinor," but nothing came to mind and everything sort of slipped away from me with all that's been happening in the world. And even with reminder of the game, I still can't think of a good post. Anyone have any suggestions or prompts for how a majesty's right hand could behave in an interesting way at this sort of event?

				Between the time, Lucca's gonna show interest in Mashiro...at least, interest that isn't underlined with rage and more than a bit of fear.
