A good rule of thumb is to never stack actions in your post. One offensive and one defensive (if you want) action per post is usually a good way to self-contain.
You write a reaction to an attack, you can chose to counter or you can chose to do nothing beyond rolling out of the way. Some times, a situation won't let you follow up with an attack. The important thing is to... ideally, leave your attack actions open-ended, so that the other party can have a choice/response. ;D
This is not a very good explanation, but this is just a brief... overview? lol. It's okay, treat this as practice. ;D Shorter posts are your friends.

It was a good explanation. ^w^ I wrote a decent post (or at least I hope) with its help.
sajflaskd I'll get a post up soon, I promise! ; o;
Everything looks good! The fight scene should develop almost organically.
And sorry about the pause, I stepped out to play tennis. It was a really nice day today! ;D

Okay, so I'm having Kanon's more leader qualities show up and she's attempting to surrender or something, but Locke is free to get all like, "IMMA FIGHT U" or something because Kanon is not the authority here ahaha ; w;

I made a post. Tell me if the whole crossbow bolt situation is ohk jing? I just wanna check.
Yeah, Locke's most likely going to go down the "IMMA FIGHT YOOU" path at the moment. ^_^
Everything is good and fine at the moment.
Jake is trying to move people into the building, but, obviously, you don't have to go, lol.

Hey guys sorry I wasn't here for the quick posting! Work was stupid and then my boyfriend wanted to hang out for a while because we're working weird shifts and never get to see each other I'm really really tired right now so I think I'm going to turn in early tonight. I'm gonna quickly make a post though :3 Jing are you going to be the one to bring in the baddies in first everytime or can we sort of bring them into our posts whenever? Sorry if you've answered this before!

Also are they still outside or are they in the building?
Ideally, I would like to have a head's up if you plan on... moving a named NPC. However, if you only want to encounter them, then it doesn't matter. Feel free to run into them without clearing it with me first. The only thing you can't do is... kill off a named NPC before I have a chance to post as them... lol. Treat named NPCs like a character owned by another player, but you don't have to treat it as gently, lol.
I should also start drawing a map of the locations... so people know what is happening, lol
TO PEOPLE IN M-1: This is it! We have successfully (lol) reached the last and final hurdle of fighting Riley! Of course, he's going to bust out his trump. Some information on the situation:
Riley is in terrible condition. He's been slammed into solid walls by high-pressured water, squeezed down by iron pipes, and then hit again with more high-pressured water. He's also growing increasingly more tired (both physically and mentally). Having said this, don't kill off Riley in your post. When he dies, I'll decide. But, I just wanted to say that he's... almost dead! Haha.

I actually feel bad for Riley LOL
It must be horribly painful to have high-pressured water rush into his mouth. Water's scary.
Am I the only one sympathising him?

I try not to think about it, lol... But whenever I do (which I inevitably do)...it's scary. Haha...
I don't feel bad for Riley though... he's kind of trying to kill everyone, haha. D;

WHA-? what just happened.
CHECK IT OUT I'M UNIQUE!
The mission is, in effect, over.
You guys can post some... after-posts. I won't be posting for Maalik as he is knocked-out. You guys can still have like... after-talk and such until DiD gets there (of course, you guys have to... call for DiD). You can also still try to talk to the blond man as he is still there... but walking away, etc.
This is winding-down and stuff.

Okay, I've fixed up Riley's/Blond Man's post! It should read better now and... just be better overall.
I'm sorry for having been... ah, half-here during most of the weekend (unexpected things occurred)... But, it's okay, the situation still stands:
M-1, you guys have time to gather yourselves and whatnot until DiD gets there, etc.

I have made a post in the Mission Index, which summarizes the technical aspects of the mission. I have also included brief profiles for Jonathan Riley and Thomas Nigel (Nigel's is still being worked on) for your... er, enjoyment?

M-2: MAP / CURRENT POSITIONS
That is currently what the map/position of people are/were. The lines are paths taken by the characters. I did GM both Kanon and Locke into the building, but... that's minimal, lol. They would have entered the building BEFORE Hyde appeared.

According to Tommie's profile. He killed his first two at the ripe age of five. DAAAMMMMNNN
CHECK IT OUT I'M UNIQUE!
MMO: ???
Nigel was born in 5575, the disappearance was in 5584. That makes him 9, not 5? . ______ .;
But that's irrelevant. I haven't finished Nigel's profile yet, ha. Handling Hyde at the moment.

Okay, both Riley / Tommie are finished.
I'll think about uploading Hyde later, lol.

I meant nine.... idk why i typed five... *herpderp* I feel dumb :-/ but still nine is really young to start killing people.

MMO: It's okay, for a moment, I thought I messed up, haha.
But, yeah, lol. He started early. Haha, some people just know what they want to do in life! Haha.

So, I'm waiting on Locke to see what he'll do, haha. ; v; I'm going on a skii trip for a week, though, so I'll be pretty out of it. We have internet, but posts will be slow. u - u
Oh, a ski trip! That sounds exciting. I want to go snowboarding again. * w * After this week, during spring break, hopefully, haha.

I'm sorry for disappearing like I did. Blargh. Sure needed help with a sewing project and it seems as if she picked the hardest pattern for a pair of pants. >_<
I'll get a post in tonight, I promise. ^w^
GLITTER: Unnf. I wished it snowed more where I live... I have to drive to Tahoe for my precious, precious snow, lol.
SIGH: Haha, what kind of pants is she making? ;o

She's making some pleated dress pants with belt loops, pockets and a zipper for her Riza Hawkeye cosplay. She did one last year using a scrub pants pattern and she wasn't all too proud of how it came out, so she's remaking it. ^w^
I'll get to posting now.
I am currently fleshing out the Degree Index!
If you have any questions or concerns or general whatnots, please let me know about them! I won't say that there isn't such a thing as "stupid questions," but please don't feel shy in asking me anything! Haha...
It really helps when people ask questions because it lets me know what other people find confusing or unclear. In some cases, it actually points me to a new direction that I had not considered, but would be more than happy to include or accommodate. (:
In the next few days, I will be going over the index and, hopefully, by the end of the week, the index will be finished and it can be a completed reference! (:

I've fallen for Riley LOL See that hot pic of his!
I have the tendency to drool over hot villains.
Will post tomorrow.
