Spur new threads within our sub-forum for specific couplings and let them play out in parallel to the main story which we keep moving. So basically multiple scenes might be playing out at the same real time but different story times. (I think this is less confusing in practice than it sounds, but it does take some getting used to)

This is without a doubt the best option. It worked well in another group play I, and Xavier, was in.

I've been told that size doesn't matter as much as what you do with it...

Sadly, that's not entirely true all the time. ;)

Hey @xavierrol - maybe if you threadmarked your threads it will help with keeping track of days and places.

This is a great idea. It would indeed help a bit in keeping track of time at least.

I'm honestly wondering if Charles and Jane might have any sort of chance here for a scene.

I am contemplating the possibilities of this happening as well, hence bringing up her lack of a love life in my latest post. Though I had actually quite enjoyed Estella being Jane's first conquest on the train I just don't really see how that would happen under the current circumstances. Let's see where my next post takes me.
 
The IC thread has a "Paris Station" Thread Mark, I had planned on marking each stop. I am happy to add threadmarks to any post if you let me know, either publicly or privately, though all Threadmarks are public. I also intend to update the main thread title to show the trains general location as you have probably noticed.

I agree on the spurring new threads for 'private time' and we are basically at that point now. If we put Jane and Charles in their own thread "Jane's Compartment" and Aleks and Leo in the "First Class Water Closet" we would basically be creating threads for various private locations on the train. We would add them as needed. This would leave Estelle on her own and she could have an "Estelle's Compartment" thread if she is going to do anything of particular interest to the overall plot it would stay in the Main Thread. If she wants to jill-off some of her stress (just as a random example of something one might do alone in a compartment), well that would go in Estelle's box, er I mean "Estelle's Compartment".

Does anyone not know how to create a new thread and needs me to do so?

Any other administrative issues to be addressed?

I plan to hold off on posting the next station until most 'activity' wraps up so we aren't on alternate times within the story. We can revisit that if a particular session looks like it is going to go into extra innings. I think as long as we have either something to write, or something interesting to read, most will stay engaged in the story.
 
@captain_bond I think it might be wise for you to create a thread for Mr Walsh's sleeping compartment, assuming of course that he can live with the idea that he actually did pay for sex, even if he actually didn't, but that is what it will look like.

Take your time! Some things should not be rushed. ;)

This made me laugh so hard!

Unless they are super quiet it will definitely sound to Leo (and perhaps Estella) that that was what happened... interesting.
 
MsBloom said:
Isn't it just.

Absolutely.

Also, regarding side threads - If whomever creates one could do so and link to it in the bottom of their parting thread from the main one, it would help to alert us that a new RP room has been created.

Can't risk missing out on the (ahem) interesting stuff, can we now?
 
Why, thank you, @MsBloom!

Hmm - Jane is quite the tigress I'm seeing. I'm going to have fun writing up Leo's reactions if Charles turns out to be as long-lasting and inventive as Mr. Wagner was!

I’m fine with it, but I was assuming Aleks and Leo’s conversation would last about an hour and she would go off to find Aleks once it was done.

Or she might just walk in on something…

I'm thinking Leo and Aleks' conversation is coming to an end. Leo is in his PJs, after all, and Aleks has a dinner date. Or is that date for the next day?

I will leave it up to you to decide. I can have it either way, or it could simply be an actual check up with no erotic innuendos. Just to introduce the chamber-maid.

And with that ... Bedtime in Europe, (at least this very specific part).
