...typically, when I have writer's block, one of the things that works for me is what I call "five ideas"... I basically start out by making a rough list of five ways a particular scene/transition/whatever might go. Then I start expanding on each of said ideas, one by one, to see how each might play out. Sometimes, I settle on one of those ideas and am able to run with it to fruition... other times, in the course of developing one or more of them, I come up with a sixth that works better and I'm off to the races.

That said (and speaking of long overdue updates) I've managed to scavenge a few free minutes and am in the process of getting an update for this game scrawled out (turns out, the back up on my old machine sadly didn't include the scene I'd already written for Penumbra and Lightning... )

Anyhoo... if work and the pupper stay quiet for a bit, I should have an update shortly.

Updates! Feed the puppy Benedryl and tell work you need to take a "potty" break.

The puppy is napping (and feeling much better... ate something that didn't agree with him, I'm guessing, and had a terrible case of the poops and pukes for a couple days) and work has been mercifully quiet this morning. *knocks on wood*

In the process of writing, now.

that puppers can get the flu just like we can right? Could be that.

My puppers is also taking up time along with my now 1 year old son x.x When did life get so busy?

...an update for Penumbra and Lightning is on the board!

(About darn time, Eol!)

Updates for the rest coming shortly.

A note or two about this update:

1) The "report" filed at the beginning of the post wouldn't have been overheard by either Penumbra or Lightning.

2) I've updated a post called Recovery/Extraction Teams on pg 1 of this QA thread. There's a picture there to give you an idea of what the Carnival looks like.

3) Any other questions, post 'em here or PM me!

Next up... Overwatch and Disturbance.

there goes all of what Penumbra said about not being restrained. way to break all trust Lightning had in her. lol

EDIT: Why does Boomer look familiar? lol just curious haha.

I guess there's a bit more with Brea before I go and get Chess then?

...the Carnival's not gonna take off with the ramp open and 2/5 of the team standing outside.

You have NAsib and Penumbra inside don't you? so... whos' left?

...aren't the only members of the team.

Penumbra is in the Carnival standing just ahead of Brea.

Nasib and Christianson have taken positions at either side of the top of the ramp (inside). Henson and Elder have assumed similar positions at the bottom of the ramp (outside).

makes sense.

Loving this so far, everyone.

I for one, remember the many cheeseburgers which sacrificed all to bring us here.

I will have my response today. Im at my in laws and have a few errands to run so once my son goes down for a nap and or bed i will put up a reply asap.

No problem Silent, I'm not going anywhere.

Or am I? That is the question right?
