    You can set up your introduction scene as you like, and I hope that there is enough detail in what I do to keep you interested. You are correct about the initial contact from Rhea Kynn to you, as there will perhaps be several back and forth posts as she gives you instructions and you ask for clarification, etc. I generally find that I like the conversations to go relatively back and forth if they are between major players but feel free to do several back and forths on your own if you are chatting with an NPC and do not require my input to do it. That is usually the call of the player and we can work through any issues that might pop up. My reasoning is that I want to give you the opportunity to respond to a point without having to go back and edit a post to do that. And it helps if you give me the same opportunity to respond as if this were a real conversation.

    I appreciate you wanting to judge pacing expectations since that is the one thing that can destroy a good group dynamic. Imladir is a very active poster in my Tangled Currents (TC) thread for Cynthia and I expect that he will keep up with Margot in this thread. We have over a thousand posts and a number of real-life months between us and are only a few game days from where I started her solo thread. We started on Shadow Grid and moved to Dump Shock. We tried to merge two threads by bringing Jeremiah in, but that player just sort of vanished after a bit. It is not meant to be a game where I demand a certain number of posts a day, but I think we can keep the flow going here as long as we are conscientious about reading and posting, taking into account slowdowns for vacations and other real life events.

    Do we need to try to set an expectation? For myself, I try to get to every thread at least once a day…………the operative word there is try.

    The current date is Monday, March 22, 2077. The call to you from Rhea will be come in at just a bit after midnight that morning, so the time ought to be about 0015 or so. I know that you have said you rarely have a woman in your bed, but let me know if this would be one of those rare times. You can set that up in the introductory post for Baku.
