A JP is unlikely anytime soon then. I'll still ask occasionally to see if things have changed though.
Regarding the RP itself though, think of it as a DnD campaign. It's not about being entirely linear and just fighting, even though it could be. I would really like for your characters to talk with and interact with the NPCs and environment tbh. Even if they make a mistake, it's ok and won't totally screw them over. Even if they did make a mistake, you guys could always ask for suggestions or brainstorm here. Right now though, the two obvious routes would be to talk to the Kitsune Merchant, or see the waiting Elven Noble. Both have plenty to say. Of course, there's also Coco herself - I'm actually kinda surprised your characters haven't bombarded her with questions.
Also, yes, Sif is specifically incapacitated so you guys would feel like you had more leeway. Gloriously incapacitated.
