All,

As this isn't a standard contract I'm going to take a few minutes to explain how this will work.  The events over the 6 weeks covered will be broken into  twelve scenes and the scenes released in three parts.  Part 1 consists of scenes 1-5, Part 2 consists of scenes 6-9 and Part 3 consists of scenes 10-12.  New scenes can be added if needed.

Rob's reviewed the rough draft of the 10 scenes that have been drafted and we've discussed the other 2 in detail.  The majority of the focus as written so far is on Kato.  This started as my RP event and I've done the writing to date.  That said, I'm happy to write your characters in or work with you to write your characters in to make them active and involved, not just spectators.  I've gotten feedback from some of you already and can always go in and make modifications.

There should not be any mechanical effects of this contract beyond the usual stuff already handled (payments, factory access, retirements, etc.).  The scenes give you an opportunity to help bring your character to life and demonstrate, build or grow in motivation.  Feel free to use it.  If you REALLY want negative traits like enemies based on the RP, you can ask Rob for it, but he's not going to be assigning things out.  Consider it a safe space.

Any feedback you have on the writing I will happily take.  There are likely to be sections that don't flow or work as well as others and that can be improved.  So if you see something, let me know.  Again as I mentioned, I am happy to get your characters fully integrated and immersed and I'm authorized to write the NPCs.  We can also refine as needed.  For dialog it may be simplest to do exchanges in Discord as it'll be faster than trying to do it in the thread, but either way works.  

Some scenes have sub-scenes, so if you want to insert action or dialog at some point, just post a reply, note at the top what you're responding to and I can get it fully incorporated.  While this is certainly different than what we usually do, I hope you enjoy it.

All,

Based on talking to people, things are done.  I've left scene 3 there to eventually wrap up the conversation between Kronwall and Atayde  Once done, I'll update the Contract record, remove the extra placeholder post as needed and update the final version of the Word document form of the story.

Thanks to everyone who provided input on what their characters would do or worked with me to add dialogue and sub-scenes.  I hope you feel like you were a part of it and enjoyed it.  Before finishing the last conversation the Investiture comes in at just under 25,000 words.

By next Saturday I will look to wrap up the final conversation and will move the contract to the contract log.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

With a sweep of his...
