Have a new collab from Black0ut and myself coming later today. It is a tad out of date, as it took a bit to complete, so note that, though it won't effect anything else.

Lovely. I enjoyed the interaction between Ayame and Red Hawk... its nice to see the perspective of someone that already knew what she was. I feel like they've forged a strong friendship. Story progress!

I was initially going to complain about the corniness of the tired prejudice message, but then Blackout helpfully used Red to question Morrigan's personal motives and added a believable spin to her reaction that suppressed the cliche.

Morrigan has never had Irish whiskey! This is as heretical as Samuel never having vodka. @Taxor_the_First

I'm not sure who this "bartender" fellow is, since no one is specifically marked as such on the Avenger doc (I've just used Firebrand in my posts). Might be an opportunity for you to pick up a civilian staff NPC, B0. @Black0ut

And LoE!Morrigan would absolutey lose to Modya in a drinking contest.

And them dating was unexpected, though not illogical. I just hope Red can handle being a dad, because he doesn't have to knock up Morrigan to bear that responsibility if they end up going steady.

Firebrand can't always be serving alcool, it's only logical that there'd be at least one other bartender on staff.

It was noted he was unusually quick... I hereby vote for a psionic bartender that can use blink and nothing else.

And only on objects the size of wine bottles at maximum.

Only Season 14 kids will get this joke: The Avenger bar is nice and all, but it only really serves beer, whiskey and brandy. Maybe the base defense could have been prevented if only we had a wine bar.

Posted a short solo yesterday. Would have brought attention to it then but I actually wrote it at the hospital while waiting to be diagnosed with strep throat for the fifth time in two years so... yeah, all I wanted to do is rest when I got home.

Alright, so after much deliberation and discussion, I will be bringing @Frostlich1228 back into the fold. While I reserve the right to dismiss people if they're not doing anything at all, he has produced a satisfactory amount of base RP content and that's what I'd like him to continue to focus on. He'll still come on missions if possible, but as I made clear to him (and this applies to all of you), I'm going to start setting specific times when missions will start being worked on. If you don't make it in a timely manner, the others and I will just go on without you. If no one shows up, I may even just write an op solo if necessary.

That said, I am going to start focusing less on mission length and more on overall quality. I will be making an effort to synoptically skim over fights that I don't believe are interesting or particularly dangerous (say, eight of us versus eight ADVENT troopers... not much of a matchup, but it might happen and thus is just described in a paragraph rather than as individual actions). Missions shouldn't be as much of a time commitment all the time if this is done right.

Speaking of which, I'd like to do an operation this weekend. Let me know if you're interested, I'll probably be doing it tomorrow on Sunday, might start this evening - but only if that works.

I can work on a mission tomorrow. Would be nice to get Alex on a mission that doesn't involve a last line of defense.

Cool. She was actually one of the people I was thinking should come. Might want to bring one of your other two as well, but I'll reserve that call for when I know who else is coming (to avoid overlap).

Sorry I've been so quiet the last week guys. The strep took a lot out of me. But I'll be available to finish the mission Today if everyone else is.
