I understand. Still, it makes it tough to run the plot. If any of you guys don't think you can post consistently right now, send me a PM so we can hash out details. Or hell, I'll probably do that myself. At the very worst, your characters will just sit it out until you're ready, no questions asked. It's just hard when a firefight starts and a few characters are technically just standing there.
Anyways, moving on. First, what did you think of the fight? Ups, downs, drawbacks and things I could have done better? Second, the transition is meant to be jarring, like a reset. Find your bearings!
EDIT:
On the aside side of things, it seems that 'this and that' is the Japanese euphemism for hitting a home run. :3
