[QUOTE="Mortonia, post: 3506263, member: 48747"] I suppose...*shrugs* Part of me wants to commiserate you on your post, and another part wants to say..."And...your point is?" So I'll say this...no plan, even a gaming or role playing plan, survives contact with the enemy - or in this case, with ISRP. Yes, you had a plan, and you tossed out the hook, laden with the bait of dreams. Except no one took the bait. There's a reason I chose a fishing metaphor. When you throw out a line like that, you never what sort of bites you'll get, just like when you toss a weighted string smeared with fish roe into a pond. Sometimes you get lucky. Most times you end up catching someone's old boot. Let me give you an example...I play several characters on ISRP *gasps* I know I know, my secret is out. But moving on... One of them would have indeed tried to help you, as Deirdre apparently did, and that would have been about the extent of it. Several of them would have decided she looked like trouble and steered clear, and one would have decided she was easy pickings, ripe to be plucked and have something nasty happen to her. The point is, sometimes, you don't catch what you want. So you take it off the hook, toss it back, and move to another part of the pond. See what you catch. Fish're weird like that sometimes though.
