Mission Log 17
In an attempt to deflect Cold Storage's criticism and delay - or avoid - the inevitable showdown, I was able to convince the others that working towards gaining favor and power with the local warlords would work well for concealing our true efforts. Magmetic joined one team - I have faith in her ability to work well without my presence - and I aided another team in acquiring the goals we set out. I must admit that this was a good start, but somehow I feel it may not be enough power - or trust - to deflect Cold Storage's mistrust long enough.
I also fear that TikTok will try again to ruin our plans. That would be the second time he tried. He should know by now - I don't allow you to live to succeed a second time. His death will garner no sorrow. But I wonder how the others will respond...

Mission Log 18
I suggested to others that we should blend in better with the locals, so it was time that we do more 'blending' work. Sadly, it ended up entailing getting the attention of the local heroes, and this was met with a resounding negative from the group as a whole. I fear my plans to convince Cold Storage of my intentions have backfired, and they will result in his total distrust of me when the time comes.
I've also managed to begin my plans for the next meeting - sorry, the final meeting with TikTok. I am almost giddy with anticipation for our next meeting, since I already know what the result will be...
Young Miss Tempus is currently incapacitated, so I felt I could put in my few words. Our dealings with the spirit that promised us a share of power for doing its bidding did not impress me, for we had to fight Pumicites. I felt a certain ....

Mission Log 19, with young Miss Tempus' permission
As young Miss Tempus needs more time to put her plans into fruition, I suggested to several others that we attempt to glean more information out of the being known as Mortimer Kal. My attempts to intimidate him were ignored by the others, but the result - more power for all of us - was what young Miss Tempus was hoping for. I also managed to ....
Sorry all, at this point I am blanking at what else we did - between late arrivals and no-shows, there weren't many people there, so a simple night was called for. I will get to work on the story arc soon, now that someone has typed here to give me more suggestions. And don't forget, this is your chance to be creative! We all come from different worlds, and have our own motives. So far, maybe 2 people have given me ideas as to what I can use for AE. Feel free to write and test something!

Mission Log 20, with young Miss Tempus' permission
Once again, I was asked to stall for young Miss Tempus as she arranges the next step. So I suggested we beat up some random do-gooders and gain power from the challenge. The others agreed, and I was more than happy to introduce fist to ...
sound of retching
*Sigh* I'm going to have to re-educate Magmetic on the finer points of telling a story without causing undue biological hazards in the telling. Meanwhile, I fear the next stage is almost ready - and I don't think it will improve others' opinion of us as leaders of the OAFK. I need them focused if we are ever going to....

This is Plantatia. I hope to have the AE arc typed up for NEXT Friday (March 9th) - so I hope to see stuff here by THIS Friday (March 2nd). Let's see some creativity!!

Well, next arc was ALMOST ready - large mistake in last mish. Will try running it again tomorrow.

Last week was a success - the arc was fixed, there was plot development, and people got closer to (or OVER) level 35 - the magic level. HOWEVER, this week, I will be unavailable this week, due to a staff party Friday night. I should be back next week, so keep your peepers peeled - I hope to have a plan for next week!

With most of us having toons at or above 35, I figured this weekend we might have a go at ITF. The alternate would be, naturally, Mortimer Kal, since he's the WST - and therefore useful for those who have been busy to catch up in levels to 35 for ITF admission.

This week we will begin patron arcs. This week will be Black Scorpion - choose one toon and come with us. Your other toon will be taking the Ghost Widow arc, which we hopefully will start tonight or next week.

We finished up to the Assault Malta Base mish (completed).

We've completed the Black Scorpion arc, and are most of the way through the Ghost Widow arc - if I recall correctly, we are on the last mission. We should hopefully finish up this upcoming Friday, and then I will be open to suggestions. I will also be working on the next AE arcs (I have 3 more planned) over Golden Week here in Japan, so hopefully May 4th or so we will have an AE arc to run.
If you care to write something, you are more than welcome! Just avoid all-AV missions and we are good.

Well, we've completed the second arc, and I will be working on the AE arc for this Friday. I would like to tell you that it will be done before then - it may NOT be, with what I have planned. If that is the case, I am open to suggestions, with the weekly being a good starting point - whatever it is.

Well, first of all, I'd like to offer an apology once again for the events of Friday night. I was not thinking straight, and while 2 separate teams may not have been the best way to go, ignoring the changes in the population base was equally dumb on my part. We'll get it right this week.
Or goal this week is simple - getting one toon ready to do the Lord Recluse SF. This requires that all 4 arcs are completed with the patron of choice. SHOULD you have time before Friday to do so, it would be appreciated. I will try and get it done as well, to give us options.
Hopefully, now that I am returning to a normal schedule here in Japan, I will return to a normal posting schedule here, too.

Random and I have both of our Exalted toons synced doing the patron arcs. Hopefully we will both be on the same time and get them completed, not that I think I will be up for running two Recluse SF on friday night. 
Jane Tempus picks up the seismic recorder she hid under the main table's legs and performs an auto-playback of the last 24 hours as part of her usual routine, then sighs
"Soon ... very soon ... you will ALL understand ..."
Magmetic walks in
"Young Miss Tempus?"
"It seems that we may have to push the fight earlier than I hoped, dear friend. Already the others" - and she replaced the micro-recording device under another random location in the base - "grow suspicious of my motives, and our place. I will warn you now, be on the lookout. Our 'allies' may not remain so much longer."
"Yes, Young Miss Tempus."
Magmetic walks off
"You just don't understand, Cold Storage... ... perhaps I can MAKE you understand..."
