For my part, I'm comfortable with whatever tempo you care to post at. I'm kind of all over the map with time, energy and inspiration these days. Especially that first one.

I'll put up a post that could catch Piao Bai's attention, and we can go from there.

...that ought to do the trick.

Feel free to elaborate further if any scene needs it

So am I waiting for Joe to post?

No, it's your post
Joe said he'd join the main thread sometime after March 20, as per below:

----
(08:53:32) Cai: On a related note, it's getting pretty close to a point where Abmesh can make his entry into the main thread I think. We've reached the hot springs, Ree's next post will likely give a good description of the location, and my next post will likely be a combination of Cai's recovery post/npc interactions. Because I'm a pedant, and ABC posting order is easy to remember, I'm thinking that whenever you are ready to jump in, you'd be posting after Ree/Long Piao Bai
(08:54:15) Cai: As to when you want to jump in, that is largely up to you
(08:55:22) Abmesh_Gwaelei: Not sure I'll be able to keep up with the main thread yet. My current posting speed will likely continue for the next couple of months, so it's better keeping Abmesh as a sort of aside for Ree.
(08:55:49) Abmesh_Gwaelei: I'm all moved into the new flat March 20th, then a few days sorting shit out there, and I ought to be in better shape.
(08:56:39) Cai: No problem. Given how we planned to make your entry a matter of random happenstance to begin with, it will be easy to contrive that entry under pretty much any narrative circumstance
(08:57:06) Abmesh_Gwaelei: yeah, it'll be fun just winging that bit, I think.

With regards to your last post, and the Imperial missive - was there something specific you had in mind for that, or is it a random plot hook for me to work with?

i.e
"This came while you were resting." Kaili handed over a letter with an Imperial Seal upon it.

Random plot twist for you to have fun with

Then fun I shall have
Crisis incoming =D

Posted

So it's been a couple of months. Just thought I'd check if I'd been forgotten.

No, not forgotten. Sorry. :/

Welcome back, Joe! How did the move go?

I second this motion to nag Ree to post for us

On a related note, we've reached another point in Road to Shanyi where there is an opportunity for Abmesh to make his appearance. If inclined, the posting order I'd suggest is Piao Bai > Abmesh making his appearance among their belongings > Cai with a short 'wtf is you' post > Piao Bai explaining matters > Abmesh again > Cai > etc and plot proceeds.

Let us know if you are back in the groove and want to join the main thread

Also, going to put the link to Spontaneous Combustion here for ease of me finding it again later

posted in both

Awesome <3

I'll hold off posting as Cai for now, just in case Joe wants to join the main Road to Shanyi thread.

I'm going to take the month of radio silence as a sign that Joe's busy settling into his new place and post as Cai.

Yay!
