I prefer 3. A concert sounds fun.

I would like 3.

If we do end up going with option 1, I just want it to be clear that Mie and I have no dang clue how to "write" a concert, so if it comes to that, we, uh, won't, really. I mean, we will write some stuff, but when it comes time for the music to actually start, expect little more than a couple paragraphs of some fun exposition then whoosh, an immediate timeskip straight to the end, which I think everyone would prefer, anyway.

Yeah, if not for said prospect of writing the concert, I was kinda of leaning toward one. If everyone's cool with the above, that'll be my vote; otherwise, three.

Well, personally, I think you two could write something pretty cool, but I'm fine with a neat and orderly time-skip and exposition.

Figured I'd share this for any heavily-armed characters it may be pertinent to:

Ben noticed that Casey had disarmed (lol) himself prior showing up at the venue in the current thread and asked if Ivan would have trouble getting in, loaded down with weapons as he usually is.

The answer: They won't search through people's coats and pockets and things, but don't expect to bring in a big, obvious sheathe or backpack or case of guns or whatever. In other words, it's about like real life in this situation (but with a little more leeway, since Ivan probably audibly rattles and clanks as he walks).



Anyway, we're about to do a little timeskip, most likely, so hang on.

Alright, so, new thread is up. We've had a nice, big, long break from action, which was welcome after having thread after thread of RAW CARNAGE and TRAIN BATTLES and KUNG FU, but now it's time to set up for some more crazy adventure.

If you're a part of the group from the last thread, make sure your character is in this new thread, even if you don't know what's going on. All you need to know is that Pax called your character up there (perhaps via Casey), and they're about to learn about something important that will lead to more plot-important things and action.

If your character hasn't been involved, this may be an opening if you want your character to get tied in with GUN in some way. Ask if interested.

Next thread will be going up soon. It will be full of airships and ridiculous crap so be prepared.

That said, we're not fully decided on how the characters get there. There are a few options. Whatever is chosen, they will be boarding a hostile Chimera airship by night. Radar will not be a problem, but they could still be spotted by other means. How stealthy or how straightforward you want this to be is up to you. Here are the known options:

1. Helicopter. (Lands square on the deck with guns blazing. No stealth, but offers some protection.)
2. VTOL. (That's a futuristic hovering-flying vehicle, basically. Again, little stealth, but they could approach from a more inventive angle.)
3. Skydiving para-drop. (Challenging, flashy, dynamic, maybe dangerous, but stealthy.)
4. Hang gliders with rocket boosters. (Just plain outrageous, but stealthy since they can silently glide in once they're close enough.)

Yes, they increase by order of absurdity. Yes, I am seriously okay with any of these options. You may vote, or if you can think of any other way to board an airship in the dead of night, you may contribute your own option.

I am cool with #3.

Rocket propelled hang gliders? Yes please.

while not needed for Jack, I would like to say Rocket propelled hang gliders are all sorts of awesome.

I'm gonna put my vote in for option 4 as well. Rocket Propelled Hang Gliders just sound... right.

Rocket gliders it is.

Business is nearly wrapped up in the current thread. Next thread starts tomorrow night or bust.

I say we get this thread wrapped up.

If your characters choose to follow the AI's plot, it's going to be less an elaborate scheme, more an adventurous shopping list that may well lead them to places our cast has never been in the SSRP run. Expect it to openly lay out its plan if asked by any of the characters.

One thing I think we may need to address in some capacity is whoever's leaving the GUN side. I'm not against characters departing it as long as not too many jump ship. I think it'll help streamline things to make the team smaller. But, it probably should be mentioned in-character in some way, even if retroactively in minor log form, so it isn't too random-looking. (For the sake of my memory, 'cause it's failing me, please reply here if you're planning to bail on Pax's team and head to the other storyline.)

My official forecast for the remainder of chapter 6 is as such:

- Two or three more main adventure/exploration/combat threads, depending on choices made by the characters and feedback from you guys
- One non-action interstitial of some sort to prepare for the finale
- Finale thread

You already know this, but for the sake of posterity, I'm swapping out Lattie for Tab.
