Any thoughts?
At first I was attempting to figure out what you were on when you posted that. But the more I think about it, the more it makes perfect sence. There would have to be a nice amount of editing at the beginning of the last story though. (but no problems there:))
I'm all for the idea.

No, the old [TOMB] rule has more or less been scrapped (with that other rule about only having one character ![[nyah hah]](images/icons/tongue.gif) ). LLance was in the chat we had a few days back and is gonna try and post again. Tobias I got no clue. But its been fun having the extra characters to use and the relationships between them. And as Euro said, it's a big complex. Heh.

Llance did say he would try and post, but I don't know him well enough to say if he actually will or not. I did Chat with TC the other day and he said he's been busy moving into a new place and catching up on some other writing stuff. Said he would check in here soon. Until then, Euro's idea seems fine.
Mxy: Love the penguins. CRECK! CRECK!
Euro: Blackwulf only spells like German. He's another member of the Hburg Mafia along with me, Pro, thedoctor, and the missing Midnight and Mordecai, lol.
Blackwulf: Asylum in the house! You need post more story, comrade.

for all those who want to know i have several friends in Europe (and thats why all the caps i keeps getting mixed siglnes when i type )
Euro: German is my second langue, and i dont use it much. the name is more from my Belifes than any thing else... Any it's not only the Euro spelling of Wulf it's the way to signfy a Lycanthrope.. check on king goerge the 2 ( not sure if it was goerge of Philip ) uses it to discribe his afflection ..
Grimm: Whats up? Asylum In the Hysouse
And for every one wanting to get the Info On the Wulf check out the post thread "In the Company of Wulves" till i get ready it's the only story line that i will be working ( i have a lot of back ground on the charicter to fill he's verry old ). read on and see what happens to Black Wulf.

If Blackwulf ever comes up with a plan that involves jacking the clothes of health care professionals, don't do it. It only leads to more trouble. ![[woooOOOOoooo!]](graemlins/smilewoo.gif)

There...the point of the whole story is now written...and you guys can end it any way you like.
Naecken will be out of the picture for awhile now ( due to the events in my last post).
Instead I will use a girl character called Ameristar. She will join shortly. And she has one heck of an agenda.
And what about old Nae?
I will endeavor to write a solo series called: Naecken: Prince Of Hell...and when that is over and we have had a few more regular adventures with MBL...he will return as the main threat in Obsidian Illumination Part 2.
My hope is to make him more interesting by then and that you will try to turn him back to the good side.

Like T5, I'll also be switching to a "new" character, effectively replacing Pete (although really Pete will merely be taking Schanz's former place as "the ghost"). Will this be a permanent change or not? And just HOW will this affect the dynamics of the group? Well, we can only wait and see... ![[cool]](images/icons/cool.gif) [ 08-06-2002, 10:14 PM: Message edited by: TheTimeTrust ]

Could someone put a "lock" on the "Tiatucura" issue now? It doesn't look like Kristogar's planning on adding anything else to the end of that story at all, and everyone else seems to be finished with it.
And I'd like to see the current story wrapped up soon. I'm eagerly awaiting our next story with a great deal of anticipation! :)

I think Dirk's pretty much out of the picture now. Thanks a lot, Chewy. ![[you sunnuva...]](images/icons/mad.gif) (Just joking ) I'm just waiting for everyone else to finish up their bits and head on out.

I'm busy filming today (on a 2 hour lunch break) but maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll add into the mix.
TTT, great switch with Pete and Chance. But just wondering about the team's memory. Does everyone in the castle now believe Chance was always in control and Pete is just a ghost (they were in the castle too) and will Kit be like "WTF." Or is the mind warp just for Chance who will now think everyone is crazy or find out his past is false.
Either way things should be interesting with Mick and Shirley (who are engaged in the "real" world), and Chance (who thinks he is with Shirley behind Mick's back) :) .

Right. This Kristofer Schanz is from a slightly different timeline, but the REAL timeline will remain the same (the "Castle of Crossed Destinies" has TRULY lived up to its name in Pete's circumstances). The team will have to adjust to Pete being a ghost (without having actually died, per se) and this new guy they've never seen apparently knowing all of them already, who is the only one who can see Pete (well, Turkish could probably see the ghostly Pete, and maybe Grimm as well, since he saw the ghostly Schanz when he first appeared).

No kidding! Remember that Chance told his timeline's Shirley that he would "love her forever." Of course, at the same time, there's no way he could ever tell Shirley, since she's very much in love with this timeline's Mick and engaged, to boot. Mick shouldn't know about this either unless Chance tells him. Not exactly the luckiest of circumstances, but it should make for some great stories.
One thing I wanted to mention as well: Besides "powers of luck," Chance also has the power to send back whatever force is applied to him. Again, it's a fairly passive power in itself, unless he can taunt someone into attacking him -- thus making them attack themselves -- but he is not by any means a passive person himself, as I hope to show, but a more dynamic athlete and chemist with many skills.

Wooo-hooo! New Avatar. Check 'em out.
After this, are we going to try and do the down time idea and develop the relationships of the new characters with the old and such?

Yes. And, as Eurostar explained to me, this story will retroactively have taken place only a few days after the last one (the Tiatucura case), rather than a whole month. However, the MBL will have entered the Castle of Crossed Destinies and only experienced a few hours passing by, while for the rest of the world it will be a few months. Thus when they re-enter the REAL world, it will be the present day (August 2002) since time passed normally in the real world even though it seemed to them like they were only gone a few hours.

Just in case I confused anyone with my last post, the Naecken/Smith thing isn't exactly as Mxy tells it... That's just the way he interpreted what he saw.
I figured out that since Naecken will be gone for while, the rest could think he died saving them... Making the conflict even better when he returns as the villain.

This is what the MBL Roll Call will look like at the beginning of the next story (membership posted in that of order joined, of course):
MBL ROLL CALL:
Tobias "T.C." Christopher
Danny "Animal Man" Hearn
Mick Harrison/Mxy
Larry Lance
Sam "Shift" Dawson
Turkish Stringfellow
Grimm
Dirk Bell
Kristofer "Chance" Schanz
M.I.A.
Edulcore "Eurostar" Cicciotto (believed to be deceased)
Nowhereman (quit)
Sonja Ljzavet (quit)
Kristogar Velo (on leave of absence)
Naecken (believed to be deceased)
Support Staff
Kit Piper (MBL Consulting President and financial advisor)
Dr. Henry Quantos (MBL Consulting scientific advisor via computer-linkup from Canada)
Shirley Francis (MBL Consulting secretary & Mick's girlfriend)
Li'l Jo (Tobias' cat)
Pete "the Chimp" Glover (now a ghost that only Chance can see and hear)
***
Whoever begins the next story should remember to post this at the beginning of the story -- I know I personally find it really handy to have there for keeping track of the current membership, especially in a post involving most or all of the group (haven't done one of those in a while, and I STILL haven't written Grimm, Turkish or Dirk yet... hope to have my chance soon).
If you want to add those cool dots in front of the names, all you have to do is use a * between two brackets: [] Then you get an effect like so:
Ta-da!
Unfortunately, it gets really screwed up if you edit your post, so try to get it right the first time or you'll have to make sure to fix it each time you edit that post.
BTW, has anyone had a chance to read the newer posts in my "Monkey's Paw" story? If so, let me know what you think, and if you liked it or not. Post here, of course, not in the story itself... :)

I liked the bit with the statue falling through a warp and going back in time to become the statue worshipped by those subterranean people. Nice way to bring it all together!

BTW, in case anyone's interested, there's a really good interview with Grant Morrison on Sequential Tart right now. Link below: http://www.sequentialtart.com/gmorrison2.shtmlI found it inspiring for my own writing, even though I'm no Grant Morrison, and some of you may find it good to read as well.

That's at last how I see things here, to reconcile Pro's idea of having a story set after the courrent one, where the heroes heal from the wound of this war amd begins to know each other, and TTT (and mine) will to have the time progressing "how much possible" with our real time.
But, for the future, I think we shouldn't be burneded by the need to explain in detail the timeframe.
