Thanks for the advice and help! I know writing fanfic, I tend to linger and let things develop. In fact I was nervous about maybe moving too slow here and probably overcompensated for that. I'm happy to see that lingering and moving in small steps actually seems to be preferred here. My apologies to Tarrick and I'll certainly avoid that type of mistake moving forward. I'm glad to hear that shorter and more frequent posts may help, since the same thought occurred to me.
I appreciate the patience and, with good advice like this, I'm sure I'll quickly adjust to this new arena.

You might find it useful to take a look at some of the sort of character interactiony stuff that I'm trying to get at in the old Shards of Broken Emperors RP (and the version I translated into Ghetto-speak for your convenience). It's both easier and generally more enjoyable for everyone to handle character interaction only from the POV of your characters, and if there is a bit of accidental conversation-ninjaing going on the edit button can always be used.
Okay, I edited Buffy's last post by simply dropping about the last half. I think that will serve us all much better and allow more options for the characters involved. Sorry for the growing pains.

AN IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL ROLE-PLAYERS
Both Uleni and I have been PMed by a few members of this RP (naming no names, you know who you are) pestering us about information on what we have planned. To curtail any ambitions that you may have, I must ask you to stop; it is annoying and neither of us wish to tell because, frankly, it's more fun for us if it's a surprise. If you wish to persist in this practise, then I warn you now that the consequences will not be pleasant.
I guess I'm the only one who wants to be surprised then, eh?
I like the suspense. This is exciting for me! It's making me think of any and all possible outcomes and how I'd react, etc etc. It's great! MY BRAIN IS GETTING USED!

I agree with you. It's about time I got the dust and spiderwebs out of my brain, and got the cogs turning again.

Seconded. I can't wait to be surprised! Naughty members! Let Colonel and Uleni do their thing!

Careful, there, King of Beasts. Almost went full wolf in the tavern!

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”
