The Mantell lead could be something that some of the other characters end up following up on. Maybe do it in a side story ala Lykopis vs. Ozzy. It could be fun to send a handful of the other VI/VE characters in that direction.
I'd be up for doing that. However, if it were to pan out that way, I'd kinda like to have Tommy around, as he is my character and I'd like to feel I know how to write him. Of the others, Tiberius and Robo Squirrel would be cool to use, and Icarus from VE would round it out to a four man team which I think I could use.
Course, if anyone else has any ideas for it I'd be glad to hear it.

I honestly wouldn't mind this...
...however, I had wanted to follow a suggestion of Pro's and have Icarus and Banshee take a flight together. Get a chance to do some character stuff and see how they might interact. Ceej and I are still in talks, though, so nothing's 'in stone'. If I could do both... well, sign me up!

I'd like Icarus to be around, if only for some fune interaction between him and Tommy.
Just one question about Tiberius. What exactly is it that he does? I've read most of the posts that feature him prominently, but they're all a little vague.

Yeah, he's similiar (on purpose) to a previous character I did call Turkish Stringfellow. It's not exactly a one-line concept. If it helps, I'll give you the most basic, simple rules for writing Tiberius: --Emotions are usually reserved and neutral, unless in a fight. Then, he can get a bit dark and pissed. Isn't very personal or chummy. But, always polite to his friends. --Phenomenally efficient hand-to-hand fighter. Can blend multiple fighting styles with expertise, and can be decidedly brutal in his confrontations. Implausible moves are a given. Think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or The Matrix for visual references. --Powers? Think something akin to a Jedi, from Star Wars. Although, this aspect is very minimal, and I want to shy away from the metaphysical with him as much as possible, Tiberius can perform some amazing physical feats (ala' impossible agility, inertia-defying movements and stances, can leap great distancers given the right circumstances, etc). --Poise, posture, and style of speaking? Think Smith from The Matrix. Hope that helps a bit.

I need to get around to typing one or two short posts, and then the story will allow a lot more freedom to move around, form small teams and actually investigate...
Hopefully they'll be posted by tonight.

Okay, so Icky, Tommy, Banshee and a fourth split off to follow the Mantell lead in a side story. This is great.  You must do this. I have spoken.

Well, when Grimm starts a-handing out the commands, who am I to disobey?
The fourth guy will be Tiberius. I like him, and I think he needs some attention to establish his character.

Thanks, that'll come in handy.
The story will kick off when Mxy's finished the main posts for the story that he mentioned a few posts back. I plan to intro it in the main story and then give it it's own thread to prevent confusion. Don't have a name, but that'll come. As for story, it doesn't have one yet, but I can confirm that I see it as having at least one fight scene (of what quality, I cannot say).

Well, if you're following the Martell lead, then it's still related to MM and I wouldn't mind having it in the same thread, as a subplot. Whatever you prefer.
Sorry for taking so long, I been unexpectedly busy.

I'm typing the post right now, and I apologize in advance. The only way I could find anthusiasm to type it was making it... well, you'll see.
I apologize especially to you, Chewy...

All right, it's posted. Now the ball's on your side.
You can take anything on that post as you wish: Grimm said he wanted both teams to meet before meeting the SF, if you want you can do that, maybe the location Hero gave them was the same for both teams, or maybe both teams meet at the station before meeting the SF, or whatever. You can have both teams go there complete and later split up and send some people home, or send only the characters listed above, whatever you prefer.
With all the information given until now you could stop the next murder. If haven't done that within a reasonable period of time (two days, tops), I'll post the next murder scene.
Good luck!

Nice stuff, Mxy. I must say, I'm a bit stumped on the clues, and how they relate to the murder/murderer. Is their an 'elemental' pattern there? Merlin would signify 'air', right? I'm just guess off the top of my ass...

Heh. Just lay everything on the table (in a post with the characters doing that, of course ) and see if anything pops up.

I think the little pieces of paper show letters. S, P and Q. The fourth will be a R, because the murderer is related to ancient Rome.  Well, I tried...

Allright, allright! Since you insist, I'm gonna give you a couple more days to stop the murder!
But seriously... I can give you a push in the right direction, if someone gets the teams together.

Done. I left the team lineups open in case someone like Danny, for instance, decides he wants to use Reilly now. Stuff like that. I give people a chance to do a few character interactions before sending them off.

This is the first time both teams meet, so I'm kinda reluctant to write it myself cause it won't be very special, since I haven't read the stories for almost a year so I'm not that familiar with some of the characters. However, if nobody else wants to do it, I'll advance things quickly, but I warn you it won't be very spectacular...

I'd say give everyone a few days to catch up and add their own thing. BTW, who is the exact line-up of Europeans and La Perditians in this crossover anyway? I mean, I know Ozzy and Lykopis aren't there. But, I can't really write a scene without knowing who supposed to be there, and all...

I'm volunteering Reilly and Robo Squirrel for use in the story.

How do you know this? Nowhere was it said who is and isn't there, with the exceptions of Drake and Grissom.

This seems to be the roster for the remaining part of the story:
Grissom, Phil, Grimm, Drake, Adem, Gaunt, Robo Squirrel, Reilly, Icky, Tommy, Banshee and Tiberius.
The last four (from what I understood) will be going on the side-quest SPAM was talking about, but they still need to be there to split up later.
I was suggesting that you have all the characters there so both teams can meet (and later send some people home as the people split up in smaller teams), but that's up to whoever makes the post.

Okay! EVERYONE'S there! Deal with it. We can assume some time has passed for the Ozzy and Lykopis fight. Can't we? Come on. Unclench, people.

Thanks, guys. I was going to do more of Reilly's thinking, but I didn't want it to be a Reilly-centric post. It's a group post, let's not get bogged down in my gimmicks...

As I said, everyone outside the roster posted up there is gonna be sent home soon. It's just that the teams are meeting for the first time, and that's kinda significant.
Is anyone else gonna post something with both teams (I repeat: they won't be complete very soon), or should I move the story along and send them to the Station?

Posted by the almighty Danny:
"Where's Danny? And Ed? And Mason?" Some guy named Jeff asked, excitedly.
"Ed and Mason left, for reasons of their own," Grissom explained. "How the hell do you know them, anyway?"
Jeff shrugged again. "Read their Wikipedia entry."
Danny, you are a genius.
