I have another question about the plot.
Do the shadow kids move around the town (you know like camping out) or do they actually have a home??

They have a home, a big abandoned mansion that they all live in. But sometimes they do spend time camping out in the city.

shouldn't Cailey make the first post seeing as this is her SB.
Plus it will also give us a better idea about the setting of the SB.

I was thinking the Nights could just be posted here on the DT. I will write the post today. :)
Also, I came up with this crazy idea. Kyle was in love with a girl who died, I was thinking what if she was another one of the Shadow Kids? I was thinking another Rockwell, since there is a pretty big gap between them, but anyway, any ideas post here. I just thought that might be interesting, and add to the loss they all have already.

Hey, quick announcement. First of all, I had said all posts would be made in third person. As people have been posting in first person, we'll switch to that. But, I really want everyone to write in first person, past tense. That means you wouldn't say
I run downstairs.
It would be
I ran downstairs.
If you don't know what I mean by first person past tense, google it. :D

Also, this is midievil times, Pixie, you mentioned isles and treats, but they live in a world that doesn't have grocery stores, and this is back when they didn't really pay much attention to taste. I guess I didn't explain that very well. But yeah, think England in the, ninth, tenth century. Back when there were kings and queens and peasants and lords and all that. Clothes would also be plain and most likely all one color. Girls wear dresses (though that could change due to the fact that these kids are all extremely skilled and going behind the government) and guys would wear tunic and pants, shoes for those more fortunate. Also keep in mind that everyone in the city is extremely poor, and have to work hard to earn their living.

I think that's all, like I said before we are going to start by just going through daily life, introducing the characters and giving everyone a feel for the SB. Any questions can go here.

Remember, first person, past tense, please! I like when everyone is writing the same. :)

Dudes, they totally had markets and stalls in the medieval times. And sweets, though they ran along the lines of sweetbreads and stuff. No candy as we know it today, unfortunately.
Also, the Nights just posted. Have fun! :twisted:

Alright, alright. Fine. You guys win. :)

Italian, once everyone posts, maybe they could meet up somewhere in the city? I want to give everyone a chance to get involved first, but eventually the Nights will have to run into one or more Shadows as their carrying out some mission or... I don't know.

Yes, that would be a good idea.
