Where is this set at? In a city or something? I think that would be appropriate! Do we do all of this in first person or third person? How many people usually join before we start? Sorry about all the questions!! I am a nagger, but this is my first! I am excited, too! You'll just have to put up with me. :D

1. It's set in a city! None in particular, but somewhere with lots of tall buildings - we'll say a big American city.

2. First or third person are both acceptable! I'll be writing in third person, but everyone can choose for themselves and it doesn't matter if we have both, or even second person being used as well.

3. Usually a storybook waits for lots of people to join but this one is going to start far sooner! I'll be making a post today :)

And no worries - you're doing great so far! I have approved the profile and maybe his code-name could be something like Houdini or Gunnarson (they're famous escape artists)?

More questions... You were the only other character so far, so I had to have you as the one I was going to burglar! :D
I don't want to make the layout of his house and everything and have it not be what it is... Can you tell me what his house looks like in your mind? Does he have cars on the outside? An automatic garage door? Will he be home or gone when Brandon does his thing? I loved your post, too!! @Rydia. Does it usually take this long for other characters to show up?

That's fine and you can invent his house as much as you like! It would be reasonably large and definitely a garage with some cars and an automatic garage door. He'll be home at the time, that will give him a chance to try and persuade Falcon to do some mischief elsewhere! Oh and mostly everything will be gold. Even though it wears off over time, because he's there and touching things every day, his presence will be strongest so all of his favourite items will definitely be in gold and he'll keep it well 'decorated'. He likes to try and preserve the myth that everything he turns gold stays that way!

I think the Christmas period may have something to do with the lack of more characters. If we don't have anyone by tomorrow, I'll send a message out to some regulars and force them to ask them politely to join! @TimmyJake

@reisepiecey, crazy scientist has been taken by @ShadowVyper, and @ariaadams, medieval hero has been taken by @Sunshine. :)

For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
— Aristotle
