Well since I am the only one in this RP not on the mission I can say good job with the fight. Always enjoy seeing Ember lose it and almost Nigella as well, good lord. Ayame finally gets her moment with the Avatar and of course the epilogue I enjoyed. Claps all round. Also side note, the most brilliant part of the mission was Ember not remembering Sammeul. I approve.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Don't worry, you'll be around next time Ember shows up... by which point Leon ought to be back in the fight.

I am currently working on a prototype XCOM character that I'm using to practice making RP Character so I'm prepared for next time (Because it would take a miracle to get me a third chance after the shit I pulled). My big problem right now is my bio and it's been a problem for a while now. I'd appreciate some help if anyone is willing to.

Don't have a point by point for "Moments Like These," but that's not to say its not really good. It is great. Just more of a 'this warms my heart' post. I liked the references to Veronica's age, and continually enjoy the intros showing her interacting with her daughters. I'd be curious to see her hanging out with daddy Joseph though - would remind me of Ipiktok and Yaralria's reunion from SoD... loved writing that. (Oh, now you've done it and given me nostalgia. I'm not crying, you're crying.) I definitely feel bad for Joe's struggles though, and Jenn's to some degree. It's sad because when I see her lack of confident, I think to myself, "You know who would be great to encourage her to be braver? Yakone." The absence of the Marauding Crusader is felt in some subtle ways in addition to how blatantly it affects those really close to her.

Luke's description of how to swim was surprisingly detailed. Great job there @Dahlexpert, you could be a swimming instructor if you wanted to be. It provided a great window into the dichotomy with the sisters. It further shows me that Alexis has mainly pulled through and developed heavily as a character, while Jennifer could use that extra push. May not be for awhile - depending on when we get the chance and a factor or two I can't say because SPOILERS - but I'm looking forward to working with that thread we set up with Olivia and Jennifer's meeting, @ZombieSplitter53. And finally, altogether the post was a great way to counterbalance the darkness and sadness that has characterized a lot of Phase 2 of this story, so awesome work, both of you.
