I feel a little deflated that in five days I've only had half of my relatively small remaining "active" playerbase post. I'm not sure if I should rag about it and keep reminding people that they ought to post if they're interested in participating, or just keep the ball rolling and hope that they will still feel invested enough to catch up.
Another part of me is just afraid that what we're doing is just not interesting, and that this creates a tendency of dragging feet/forcing oneself to post. As if it'd be obligatory rather than voluntary. I know I'm kind of a worrywart about those kind of things and that I tend to blow this kind of stuff out of proportions in my head...
Is there anything you guys want me to do about this? I'm... trying to be a good GM here.

Fred, to be frank, it's not anything of your doing, it's just that I literally have like 10 minutes to log in and check this stuff most of the week. Usually it breaks down like, on Monday/Tuesday I can read the post (and sometimes post), but then a couple days later I can reply. My work schedule is highly erratic at the moment.
I make the best I can with the time I have. Don't feel like you're not doing a good job because you are.

You know my situation, so don't fret about your performance.

@Doshii Jun, @Nyton, @Tom, @Khasidel
New post. Advanced things some and spared the lot of you from doing fairly predictable actions. Like I said before, my plot focuses more on judgment calls than tests of competence. The latter, I already assume your characters have in spades regarding the things they typically ought to be good at.
I don't require a full round of replies here. But it felt appropriate to give PCs a chance to react to Suzume's predicament.

And... new post from me! I'm happy to say that we've had a full posting round from everyone, which makes me happy as this latest post is a pretty significant twist on the current going ons. I'd like your characters' reaction on this - what Nyton sees can just as easily seen by anyone else whom bothers to enter the room.

Roger boss.
Ever get the feeling our chars are ace operators with zero luck?

The advantage of having zero luck is that it can't get worse.

I was hoping to get reaction posts from you three. Especially Nyton, whom I knew would get scarce in the next few days.

Just a precision for the benefit of @Khasidel 's post.
The security forces coming after them have not yet entered the room. For one, Ruri was there as a look out and she'd have seen them coming first (which is kind of the case). Secondly, Nyton has traps in place that would need to be dealt with before those people can enter the virtual reality chamber which is what the group is in right now.

Oops. Well, I've removed the few word's were I accidently said they'd entered the room. I seem to have a tendency to miss things like that a lot.
Hell, did I goof that up too? Guh.
