[Project]Tandem Writing
FWIW, I was going with Eli's timeline there, I really was simply trying to tie Vanessa and Grieg back in after we accelerated the timeframe way too fast there. From what I understood of his post, he saved Diane in whatever way and had remained on the ship unnoticed with her, and Eros had somehow planted a decoy on the outbound ship that everyone could chase.

10:44 Kai: Fuck off, how's that? ;P
10:45 Adam: Much better.

Ancient - You're good, dude. I think everyone just got kinda nuts due to the confusion, on all of our parts.
Okay, so this is my deal - I'm still a bit lost. There are so many different ends of the story, and different understandings of what's going on within each of those sections, that I keep starting to try to write up my current turn regarding certain characters, but before I can get too far into it, I've already forgotten what's going on in the many other areas. It's making it difficult for me. This, possibly, could just be my own personal writing weakness, but I've spoken to others and confusion about the storyline is still evident amongst us.
So, what I'd like to ask is for Eli or Kai if they would be willing to make an out-of-turn post tying the multiple storylines into a smaller amount to make it easier for us to continue. If this is out of the question, that's totally cool, because I know y'all wanted to keep true to the rules, but I know for me, at least, it'd really help. If you'd rather keep it how we are currently, I ask then that you allow me to pass my turn. By next round, I will hopefully be of better understanding and consensual interpretation.
Sorry if I'm being a pain! Thanks, though, guys. Just lemme know.

To the entire world, you may be one single person, but to one person, you may be the entire world.
I would be happy to make an out of turn post, I'll get working on it, and if there are no objections by tomorrow morning, I'll put it up
[edit: Alright, I lied, I just cranked out two and a half pages and Damned if I was going to have to throw it out. I hope, I hope that I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. If I have, then I will go back and edit. I have tried to stay as true as possible to everyone's interpretations and posts up until this point. All I really wanted to do was give a definite mark of here's the stuff that's happening simultaneously. So here we are, all of the events in my post have happened at the same time and we can choose where to go from there.
That being said, I think we need to be more careful readers, both of our own posts before we post them and other posts before we write our own. I know that I have missed a couple details on occasion and I know I can do better. This also means we have to be careful in our motion through time. IF it seems like some character have looseends to tie up before a future event happens (for example, Grieg and Summers still being on the Cruiser before they end up on the Mother of Skies (now a Moot point)) then maybe it's better to pass than carry on. Regardless, things have a set point now, and I think now that more characters can interact with each other we might get back on track.
Well, there it is.

I'll echo Ancient History here.
Good stuff, Eli.
Now, whose turn is it? Teja?
And also, we need to, perhaps, establish one more rule to ensure that we don't get too out of control at times, leaving everyone else lost, ya know?
Hmmm...
Maybe, if we slowed down a bit...hmmm...

In the interests of everyone involved, I've decided to also take control of Diana and start revealing the reason why everyone is after her.
Ogion, of course, is the Wizard who taught Ged the Archmage in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Triology. Anyone who has read those books knows what happened to Ged when he read a particular volume from Ogion's collection. I'm supplanting a part of that mythology here. Part of my reasoning is that people would have to work pretty hard to want to keep this seemingly innocent girl in custody. I figured she had some knowledge that would be immensly valuable. Or maybe she was a weapon.
Either way, I've decided she was a Wizard, the only one of her kind. On an archeolgical dig on Ea she found the old dusty tome that Ged had read such a long time ago and gained understanding of the mystical energies. Does it fit the science? No. But perhaps this is the reason why she's so popular with well, everyone. She's an Anamoly of a different sort.
If this is far too implausible, I can just make it so she's schizo I have that option. Let me know

Let me also state that she's a wizard in the Earthsean sense of the word. She must know something's truename to be truly effective, and that gets more difficult as she remains away from Ea where this type of magic originated. Though not impossible because some truenames remain the same wherever you go. She doesn't, however, necessarily know this yet.
Sounds good to me In case it wasn't terribly clear, Pantheon is a sort of a cross between Bab5 PsiCops and the Order's elite Esper guard. I have more plans for Eros and Esper history, but I can write that in later I think

Read my post above in conjunction with Ancient History's post. It should be quite clear that that ship with Spark and Mind Blind is ramming Mother of the Skies at the moment...
EMP bomb hit Mother of the Skies, by the way...at least I think. I'm too tired to think. I'm too pissed to think. I'm too everything to think.

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm going to withdraw from the writing project (don't worry, I'm doing the same with the other). I haven't been very creative lately, and have lacked the whole "plays well with others" attitude that's needed for a project like this. Please feel free to continue to use my char in the story if you like.

Will get around to it. Thank gawd I just finished term paper and stuff like that. And also, it appears that Ancient History is taking a short haitu from internet. Soon as I'm done, I'll attempt to contact him, then if I haven't heard anything from him, then I'll give a go-ahead to you guys.
