Hub City: Only dead if you want it to be.

For those who are unaware, I've been relatively inactive lately. Now that I've got some time to actually log on, I'd like to know what I've missed so I can get back into the groove & would appreciate a quick summary of what's been going down in the rp, if all possible

Not much has really happened.

Rhode met Dr. Occult and he taught her to sense magic; then sent her out to pay his water bill. She went out all angry and picked a fight with the first person she saw; which happened to be Tony Dechinko, who promptly brawled with her for a bit until she tried to hit below the belt in which case he just brought out his shotgun and shot her in the face. I was tempted to kill Rhode for the whole 'go ahead shoot me!' thing, but decided against it.

I recently took over Casey so that he could haul Rhode back to Occult's for medical attention.

Darcy & her dad are having breakfast at a nice little Asian market.
Victoria and her brother met Brother Wound out wandering the streets of Paradise Lane, her brother went home so she could go on a 'date' with him. He's using the alias 'Will' and taking her to a pizza place. They've just arrived.

Misj and Es are hanging out in Stern's end on the North Side of Digger's field park with the Church group; they're attempting to clean up the park. Sebastian and his mother have killed a couple of teenagers and are burring their bodies on the South Side, using the recent garden work as a cover.

I had recently raised the idea of me taking temporary control of the less active Player Characters so that I could finagle them into contact with the other PCs. Since you're back you're free to agree or disagree to that as you see fit.

It's been over a week, I'm borrowing Red's character for a post; because it's been a week, because I kinda need him, because I'm the GM and I can.
Take your pick.

So what's going on concerning the roleplay?

I'm being a shlub and not posting like I should.

Oh alright, sorry. I thought we were waiting on someone.

I think I've come to the realization that without more Player Characters the current roster of Players doesn't have a prayer against boss-level characters like Mandragora, Sebastian, or Flay.

So, my solution to this?

A: I'm using my next post to prep for a time jump to the evening so that characters like Andromedia and Arthur can be brought in. In addition this is going to be a big post so I can feel less bad about taking a little vacation from posting.

I'll admit, I was upset with some of our players for just kinda dropping out.

But! that is why I'm

B: Re-opening enrollment! I get that some players may not have brought their A-game with their characters, just making characters so they could play rather than making characters that they wanted to play. I'm hoping this second time around we can limit that, alternatively if there's any new forum members out there being shy, I invite you to read through the RP so far and see if you might be interested in joining up! We're really a quiet friendly bunch I assure you.

Same rules apply as before; they're still posted on the first page of this thread.

I hope to have a post done by this evening.

So what's going on in the post department? Also, I need that email for the whole Justice League thing we were talking about.
