Now that the plot's done

Thanks to everyone who participated in Masque, directly or indirectly. I very much appreciate everyone working around their busy schedules to take the trouble of logging and getting them to me on time, barring the unavoidable RL interference; being a relative newbie I was a little uncertain about running my first plot, but you guys made it so much easier than I was afraid it was going to be. Thank you for helping me carry off what was really a rather hideous concept without a hitch, and really nice logs -- and reactions -- from all of you. This was a lot of fun.

Even if that NPC did make me feel like I need to scrub my brain with drano. *G*

Lots of veterans were helping me out. *G*

Thank Cain and Forge's player for Simon. And for not naming him Gregor.

What happened to Masque wasn't explicitly stated, partly because I wasn't sure how to work that in gracefully either in the course of my own logs or journal posts, but assume he's being taken to a secure facility to await his court-date for charges on the current assaults as well as the incidents Forge found from when he was a juevenile. (This will probably be reinforced in-game later at some point; among other less overt ways, there's a possibility he'll make a very brief reappearance later on.)

*grins* Got the perfect solution for that problem, mate - Fred Duncan, FBI mutant expert and liason. I'm not sure who's the official sock these days, but a quick email from him could solve the whole issue.

I already did the feedback thing, but adding my voice to the accolades, especially for the posts since. It's been great watching Marius, especially. He's really shown a lot of range whilst still remaining essentially Marius. :)

Funny you should mention Fred Duncan -- one of the plots we've been throwing around lately has been the X-Cutioner. (Probably we won't end up murdering your NPC for it; Dex and Nute have both come up with plausible alternatives, depending on which angle we want to pursue . . .)

Thank you for the feedback, too. *G* I was keeping quiet until the plot had actually wrapped, but it was much appreciated. I'm glad you've enjoyed the Marius-involvement; shallow characters are challenging, but I figure writing them is just like dragging your hand through the ripples on the surface while bearing in mind you're sailing over a coral reef. Just because there's no introspection doesn't mean the depth isn't there. . . . Regardless of what the character himself believes.
