*sigh* Sorry for harping, and don't get the impression that I don't want the plot to follow the general ideas of the people running it (all GMs need to exert control to keep PCs in line and going in the right direction), its just that I've been having a really bad day and worked really hard on that post before it went pif. I still remembered every word, then found out I couldn't post it.

/me is only a little bitter. ::unimpressed stare::

I guess I will have to back-post it and hope it doesn't look too horrid. A live band would, of course, been much more cinematic. ^_^ Hell, my character could even have kept them all playing throughout the ensuing madness, oblivious to the destruction going on around them. Even more cinematic.

Actually, GA, I was wondering whether maybe you would be interested in joining our little committee, since you seem to have quite a bit invested in the plot, and it would be useful to have an admin help us with some of the stuff we're planning on doing (details of which I'll explain to you over PM or AIM if you wish).

About damn time Icy, but this works perfectly with what I have planned. I was pretty worried about how much my actions would affect everyone else like the last time I went off (gas station), but since you're started the party early...
Hopefully, I can still integrate this and count on GA's intervening part later on.

Can people be temporarily in? As in be able to do a major plot discussion for some of the more immediate developments (in my case, I'm asking to be in for Act I) and leave it afterwards? I have some idea's bouncing around that kinda require more people than I can contact otherwise.

Okies! Massive repost over, go back to your normal lives now. Hey, at least it has full copies of the music involved for those without Kazaa skills (and damn that group is hard to find).

::wipes brow::

I think I'll also make a "Escape from Skinner Sanitarium Soundtrack" compilation. That'll be easy.

On a side note, if anyone wants music in their posts, PM me and I'll upload it to http://www.gothcandy.net/attachments/mu ... ckname.ogg. If the track name is long or contains a large number of words, pick something appropriately short and mention it in your PM. I do, after all, have 500MB x2 to waste. ^_^

Posted. First: a quick rundown of my outfit(the shopping). I'm wearing black jeans, a Vampire: The Masqurade T-shirt, a black leather jacket and dark sunglasses. Just because.

Second: since Grey's left me in charge of Adar, he and his squad of military goons will show up just as we exit(and destroy) the mall. Once we're out the front door, nobody do anything with James/Nightmare. I have a plan.

We're not exiting the mall for quite some time. Zara's plan is basically to lure the entire military here, take advatage of the fact that the mall is full of hostages, and use this opportunity to demand a press conference. The time for hiding is over. The paras can't run forever; they were caught before they came to the Sanitarium, and they'd be caught again. Their only chance for survival lies in meeting their enemy head on.

Bandman: Your post was generally fine except for a few things. First, don't kill the clerk, I have plans starting soon and I need him alive and somewhat lucid as a catalyst. Also, Andy will be doing all transformations in the middle of the store (who cares about stealth at this point?) where anyone passing by can see. As for the use of his power, there's no telltale glow or light. Think of it more as liquid steel being shaped in an invisible mold, without heat. Any change in colours would be due to the mixing of elements into the alloy.

Icy: I'll PM you later. Now that the plan's out in the open, I need to know if I'm going to be creating any conflicts with my next few posts.

Well, the soundtrack has been compiled. 1h 38m of great music totalling 80MB of disk space. I'll upload it some time along with a WinAmp playlist so y'all can listen along. Likely when Part I is finished, however.

Note to everyone: Don't be surprised if I don't post for a few days. My phone company, in their Infinate Wisdom, have threatened to cut my phone if I don't pay. Now I'm all for paying, but when I've gotten only one bill from them over the course of 4 months due to messed up mailing address ( Serv start 12/03 ) and when I try to pay the minimum amount of 35 dollars, they say I need to pay the full past due of 178.

Again, I have no problem with paying for service that I've used...however I also happen to have a truck with no brakes and I'm sad to say that a working truck is more important than Internet access if I can't get them to abide by their own shit. (Could have to pay 300-400 dollars on the brakes...that is depending if I have to replace the Master Brake Cylinder or not)

Needless to say, Uncle Pervy could become incommunicado for a while, so just be prepared. I'm sure I'll take care of this and all will be well, but if I can't get shit to work, I'll leave Max in the command of Chaos or Zara. I'm sure they'll work stuff out.

At least I updated and edited my post to Wolf's satisfaction. Hope it fits better for ya.

Band: Thanks for the edit. Made things easier.

Oh, and can everyone please not interact with the guards or Andy for a while? I'm making something that will create an interesting situation.

Not a problem, here. Claire's a little busy wrangling the band into ignoring the meyhem and projecting the music. And I think Claire's merry band can get away with that CD... ^_^ If only the song previews were in a non-brainfucked format like MP3 or OGG and not in RealAudio... who actually uses RA anymore?

*Bandman does the Happy Internet Dance of Joy*

Wheee!!!!!! I was able to stave off the guillotine for a while and kept my phone line so I can have the net still. And my truck's fixed. Now I can only hope that the Mechanic I hired (who's known me for years and seen me perform a few Blues Brothers Revues) will set aside his policy and let me get my truck back and pay him later instead of all of it before I can claim the old girl.

Wish me luck.

Oh and Wolf: No prob.
